Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Alright, I'll think of another way!" Uncle said and hung up the phone.

At that moment, he felt that he had aged several years.

I made a whole bunch of calls, but didn't get a single penny. Is this what it feels like to not be able to borrow money?

Her older sister must have felt the same way when she borrowed money before, right?

Does this mean I'll ultimately have to mortgage the house for a loan?

The eldest uncle slowly closed his eyes.

He seemed to be completely deaf to his aunt's incessant chatter.

A moment later he dialed his eldest son's number...

When Ye Chen returned to his hometown, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Sister Xiuying came over carrying a vegetable basket, drawn by the aroma.

"Chunlan, where did you come from? Why did you bring a car? Was it rented?" Sister Xiuying asked with a smile.

After all, the car Ye Chen was driving wasn't his own, so she thought that reason was more reasonable!

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Chen bought it for his dad!"

In front of outsiders, Ye's mother would always try to make her son look good, not for any other reason than to give Ye Chen a good reputation. If someone happened to be able to play matchmaker, that would be even better.

When Sister Xiuying heard that Ye Chen had bought the car, her eyes widened immediately: "Chunlan, don't lie to me! Ye Chen has only been working for a few years, how can he afford a car? He himself said that the one he drives is borrowed!"

Ye's mother grinned: "He's always been a low-key and filial son. He bought this car for his father."

Sister-in-law Xiuying looked at her with an expression of utter surprise: "Oh, is that so? Then Ye Chen's salary must be quite high, right?"

Mother Ye smiled and said, "It's alright. Our Xiao Chen is quite outstanding; he can easily support the family."

Ye's mother laughed it off.

"If the salary is not low, then she should be a good match for Ziqing. Why didn't they hit it off on the blind date last time?" Sister Xiuying sighed.

"Maybe the two of them don't feel right for each other. Do you have any other girls you'd like to introduce?" Mother Ye looked at Sister Xiuying with anticipation.

Sister Xiuying shook her head: "Sigh, these days there aren't that many girls to introduce. Girls don't usually come back to the village, so we only see each other a few times. I think Caihua's girl is quite nice, so why don't we click?"

Ye Chenxin thought it was pretty good, and her second uncle's evaluation of her was: very radiant.

Ye Chen left immediately, not wanting to be set up on another blind date later, but he couldn't dampen his mother's enthusiasm, so he let them chat idly.

Ye Chen went straight to the vegetable garden, picked some vegetables, and then gathered some other things before returning to his room.

Time quickly reached 3:30, the trading system cooled down, and Ye Chen couldn't wait to start trading.

Ye Chen didn't need the Bigu Pill for the time being, but he still exchanged for one, not for any other reason than to try it out.

Ye Chen also exchanged for a Youth Preservation Pill, intending to give it to his mother so that she could stay young forever!

If the lady of the house is happy, the house will definitely be smooth, or at least not chaotic!

Spirit Gathering Pills are an essential daily consumable, but Ye Chen still had a few on him, so they weren't in short supply. The real focus was on the last two.

The Nourishing Spirit Pill and the Profound Origin Golden Pill were what Ye Chen was most looking forward to, especially the Profound Origin Golden Pill.

Ye Chen traded a few Spirit Nourishing Pills to replenish his spiritual energy as spares, and used the rest to trade for Profound Origin Golden Pills.

Now he has 20 trading opportunities every day, a large and plentiful amount.

It's been a long time since we've fought such a lucrative battle.

We consumed quite a lot of vegetables; more than a dozen heads went by at once.

I wonder if Mom will think a wild boar got into the vegetable garden...

Let's just treat it as if it were wild boar.

The Xuan Yuan Golden Elixir feels warm and smooth to the touch, unlike other elixirs.

Other pills have smooth surfaces, uniform color, and contain little to no substance; their colors are mostly dark red, brown, tan, or black.

However, the Xuan Yuan Golden Pill is dark gold in color, which makes it look more expensive.

Of course, it might also be because its name contains the character "金" (gold).

In addition, the surface of the Xuan Yuan Golden Pill has some unique bright golden patterns.

These patterns are not found in other pills and elixirs.

The bright gold patterns subtly shimmer with golden light, giving them a slightly extraordinary appearance.

In terms of appearance alone, the Xuan Yuan Golden Pill already surpasses other pills.

Of course, whether it's just a pretty face or nothing at all, we'll only know after taking it.

Ye Chen did not hesitate and adjusted his state to enter body refining mode.

He swallowed a Xuan Yuan Golden Pill directly.

The moment the Xuan Yuan Golden Elixir entered his throat, it immediately transformed into a warm current flowing into his abdomen!

The warm current gurgled in Ye Chen's abdomen for a while before it began to flow to his limbs and bones.

"Uh—ah—"

Ye Chen couldn't help but groan.

A warm, gentle energy massaged Ye Chen's entire body, from the inside out, like a tender hand.

This feeling of comfort lasted for several minutes, as if it were warming Ye Chen up.

Just when Ye Chen thought he could continue to feel comfortable like this, he began to feel itchy inside his body.

This sensation slowly spread, and eventually the itchy feeling spread throughout his entire body.

The feeling grew stronger and stronger; it was an itch that went right to my bones.

Even with Ye Chen's Foundation Establishment stage strength and composure, he couldn't help but rub his whole body, wanting to scratch an itch.

However, scratching the surface of the skin is completely ineffective for the internal itch; it's like scratching an itch through a boot—the more you scratch, the worse the itch becomes.

Ye Chen squirmed uncomfortably. "Damn it, could this pill be expired?"

Or is it an allergic reaction? Why is it so itchy?

This bone-deep itch lasted for more than 10 minutes; it seems the previous feeling of comfort was really just a warm-up...

Later, Ye Chen couldn't stand the itching any longer, so he directly activated the Profound Heaven Body Refining Technique.

Surprisingly, once the body-refining technique was activated, the unbearable itching seemed to lessen somewhat.

With each repetition of the body-refining technique, the itching sensation within his body finally stabilized within a range that Ye Chen could barely tolerate.

Time passed by, and Ye Chen had been cultivating his body for over an hour when the unbearable itch inside his body finally disappeared.

However, Ye Chen did not stop his body tempering, but continued to strike while the iron was hot.

He had been cultivating his body for so long without realizing it, and he could no longer feel the pain he used to experience.

He knew this was a rare opportunity and knew he had to make the most of it.

More than an hour later, Ye Chen began to feel the pain he used to feel.

Finally, when Ye Chen heard his mother calling for dinner, he slowly opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.

He practiced for more than two hours, and it was already 6 p.m.

At this moment, he was covered in sweat and smelled sour, like he had just been pulled out of a sauerkraut jar.

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown in disgust. Why did he still have so many impurities?

He had taken three Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Pills, and had even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

These impurities made this Foundation Establishment expert lose face a bit!
