Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen nodded: "That's right, with Leader Wu personally accompanying us, it can't be fake."

"That's basically how things went. Think it over carefully, and whether you join or not is entirely up to you!"

Everyone was still a bit stunned; the news was truly shocking.

I never imagined that such a mysterious department existed.

They felt like frogs at the bottom of a well, knowing too little about the world.

It sounds like a dream that such a mysterious department has opened its doors to them.

If it weren't for Ye Chen being the one who brought this up, they would probably have thought he was crazy.

Ye Chen leisurely sipped his tea, not in a hurry, letting everyone calm down first.

A moment later, Dongzi looked eager and asked, "Brother Chen, how big is the mission this mysterious department is carrying out? To be honest, I'm a little tempted, but I'm also a little worried. What if it's some kind of high-difficulty mission? Wouldn't I lose my life?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "I don't know either. They're unlikely to tell you that, and even if they did, it wouldn't be very reliable. But I suspect the difficulty is related to your strength. You can only do what you're capable of. They can't expect you to kill a Foundation Establishment level monster, can they? You couldn't do that!"

Dongzi nodded: "That's true!"

He did not immediately express his opinion, but instead fell into deep thought.

"Brother Ye, I'm your driver. I'll go wherever you go!" Ah Long's answer was quite simple.

They seemed to have no need to think, and were the most relaxed-looking person in the entire room.

Ye Chen shook his head: "Don't think about these things. You need to be responsible for your future. You can't be a driver forever!"

Ah Long grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm going to follow Brother Ye anyway, wherever Brother Ye goes, I'll go, so you can just decide!"

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

However, Ah Long's choice was undoubtedly very clever.

Once you've chosen someone, stick with them. If you've chosen the right person, their future achievements won't be too low.

Of course, there are risks involved. If you follow the wrong person, you might end up with nothing.

It's as if he and Ye Chen are now bound together.

Li Wenlong pondered for a moment before asking, "Master, if we join that mysterious department, what will happen to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic?"

Ye Chen had also thought about this issue, and according to Lu Ye's opinion, it shouldn't have any impact.

Aside from carrying out tasks, I have free time!

"You don't need to consider that. You should have plenty of free time. If you really can't get away, you can always hire a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to see patients regularly. These are not problems!"

Ye Chen spoke slowly.

Li Wenlong nodded: "Understood, Master. I will follow your orders completely. If you join, I will join!"

Xiao Qi looked at Ye Chen with some hesitation: "Master, what will happen to my studies now that I've joined that mysterious department?"

Ye Chen pursed his lips: "Theoretically, you can continue your studies. Learning is endless; you can learn anywhere as long as you want to!"

"I ask you, what is your ultimate purpose in learning?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment: "I'll get a teaching certificate, and after graduation, I'll go teach in a remote mountain area!"

"How many years can you teach in a rural area by yourself? And how many children can you teach?" Ye Chen asked again.

Xiao Qi opened his mouth: "I... I hadn't thought about it, but I'll help whoever I can!"

Ye Chen tapped her on the head: "You're so dense. How much power can one person have? The number of people you can help is always limited. But if you have a voice, perhaps one word from you is more effective than a lifetime of teaching in rural areas! Think about it, doesn't that make sense?"

"How many years can a girl like you go to teach in a rural area? Do you want to stay in the mountains and become someone's wife? You need to think further ahead. I know you want to give back to society, but there are many ways to do so. Now that you're a practitioner, you have the ability; you can use better and more efficient ways to give back to society!"

Ye Chen spoke with exasperation.

You've already embarked on the path of cultivation, yet you still can't think straight.

Xiao Qi weakly replied, "Okay, Master, I'll do whatever you say!"

Ye Chen's words about staying in the mountains to be someone's wife deeply stung her; she dared not imagine what that scene would be like.

Having finally managed to escape the mountains, and given the immense difficulty of doing so, why would you want your own child to become a child of the mountains?

Do you want your child to spend their entire life trying to escape from the mountains?

This is not what she wanted to see.

Besides, she can't hold anyone else in her heart right now...

So Ye Chen's words instantly snapped her out of her daze.

Ye Chen felt a little better after hearing what she said!

Dongzi then chimed in, "Brother Chen, we've all been trained by you. Without you, I feel like I'm nothing. Just decide for us, I have no objections. If you go, I'll go with you; if you don't, I won't go either. I'll just keep delivering food!"

Ye Chen curled his lip: "A dignified Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator is keen on delivering food and working as a security guard!"

Dongzi grinned: "Anyway, I'm free and don't have to worry about what others think. If I'm in a good mood, I can do a few more orders; if I'm in a bad mood, I can do a few more to relieve the stress."

Ye Chen looked around at everyone, his gaze sweeping over each person. Everyone was willing to be associated with him.

"Alright, I understand what you mean. I personally think this is a good opportunity, especially for independent cultivators like us who have no connections."

"Everyone else is thinking about working hard to get ashore, but now this opportunity to go straight to the top of the mountain is right in front of us, there is no reason to refuse it."

"As for whether I'll join or not, I'll let you know my decision in three days!"

"That's all for today. Go home now. Think about it some more when you get back. If you have any other ideas, feel free to let me know!"

Ye Chen gave a final summary.

After everyone left, it was still early, not even 10 o'clock yet, which was the time when nightlife was about to begin.

Ye Chen immediately called his second uncle: "Hey, second uncle, are you asleep?"

"No, I was just about to take a shower. What's up calling me so late?" Second Uncle asked while groping around.

"Still not asleep? Come out and wash your feet. I'll be downstairs in 10 minutes!" Ye Chen said as he left.

"Ah, oh, okay!" Second Uncle's reply was simple.

Since I'm going to wash anyway, going out to wash seems, probably, or should be the same!

Ye Chen had already boarded the Xuanling Boat and was flying rapidly towards his second uncle's house!

This is the advantage of the Mystic Spirit Boat; Ye Chen can now steadily control his speed at 800 kilometers per hour!

It's like flying in an airplane, super fast, and takeoff and landing are very convenient!

Ten minutes later, Ye Chen appeared downstairs at his second uncle's house right on time!

Seeing Ye Chen walking towards them, his second uncle asked in confusion, "Where's your car? You came on foot?"

"Oh, that's not important, go drive your car!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

The two got into their second uncle's old car and sped off toward the bathhouse!
