Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

If the man in black had carefully observed his surroundings and calmed down a bit, this wouldn't have happened.

Although the Illusion God Technique was effective, he was still a Foundation Establishment expert.

If you look closely or analyze carefully, you can still detect a clue.

It's just that he was too hasty.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have a physique that is significantly stronger than that of ordinary people, but ultimately they cannot escape the mortal body.

Cultivators who focus solely on body refinement are still in the minority.

But no one is like Ye Chen, who knows a little bit about everything.

Therefore, it's normal to be knocked unconscious.

Ye Chen walked to the side of the man in black robes. The man's spirit servant seemed to be filled with fear of Ye Chen, but still did not leave.

Ha, quite loyal indeed!

Ye Chen immediately released Xiao Qing: "It's all yours now. Although it's a bit weak, it should be alright as a snack!"

The black-robed man's servants scurried away like mice before a cat when they saw Xiaoqing appear.

It was driven by instinctive fear, and at that moment it no longer cared about the black-robed man on the ground, fleeing quickly.

It was as if if they were a second too slow to escape, they would perish here.

Xiao Qing responded with delight and pounced on the black-robed man's spirit servant.

Ye Chen's face twitched: "Holy crap, do spirit servants come in male and female forms?"

With Xiaoqing's speed, the black-robed man's spirit servant was intercepted before he could fly very far.

They then began a “friendly” exchange.

Ye Chen ignored them and directly extracted the small ball of light from the black-robed man on the ground and put it into the Bagua Mirror.

The man in the black robe passed away peacefully.

They came and went in a hurry.

They wanted to kill Ye Chen, but before they could even fight Ye Chen face to face, they perished at the Wall of Hatred.

In the end, he even became someone else's spirit servant; it really is a kind of retribution...

Ye Chen took out a small golden gourd from the other person's body, and there was nothing else.

"Holy crap, all alone? You only brought a gourd with you?" Ye Chen couldn't help but mutter.

To be fair, this little golden gourd should be worth a lot of money. It's obviously an old item, a genuine antique.

The gourd was dark gold in color and about the size of Ye Chen's palm, but it felt heavy when he picked it up.

The gourd's outer skin is decorated with a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and Yin-Yang fish pattern, making it look like something passed down from the ancient Chinese ancestors.

"How did things from our own country end up in your hands? Humph, consider this a return to our homeland!"

The little gourd was quite handy, and Ye Chen gladly accepted it.

This thing is probably what the man in black robes used to collect his spirit servants.

Just as Ye Chen was about to put away the small gourd, he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, this guy was just on the phone, where's his cell phone?

You can't just throw your phone away after using it once, can you?

Others might not think much of it, but Ye Chen is different.

He used to own a Sumeru needle pouch and a storage ring.

The fact that he had nothing else on him speaks volumes.

Could this little gourd be a storage item?!

Ye Chen's eyes lit up at the thought.

Ye Chen opened the gourd lid and discovered that the inside of the gourd was not metal.

It looks like it's made of some kind of stone; no wonder it's so heavy.

He glanced inside with his naked eye, but it was all blurry and he couldn't see clearly, as if something was blocking his view.

This made Ye Chen even more certain of his suspicions.

If it were an ordinary object, it would be easy to spot at a glance, since a gourd is only about the size of a palm.

Ye Chen used his divine sense to penetrate the mist and probe inside, and was surprised to find that it really was a storage space.

There were many odds and ends stacked at the bottom of the gourd, including the cell phone that Ye Chen was looking for.

However, the space inside is a bit small, only about 1 cubic meter.

Compared to the Sumeru Needle Pouch and the storage ring, it's so small, it's completely inadequate!

But don't forget, this is a product of Earth!

That's pretty impressive.

The Sumeru Needle Pouch and the storage ring are products of the system and are not originally from Earth.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, surprised that his predecessors also possessed such skills.

What excited Ye Chen the most was that since this was a product of Blue Star, it meant that it was replicable.

Given the right conditions, it's not impossible to replicate an exact replica!

Ye Chen began to use his divine sense to observe the inside of the gourd.

Ye Chen had never seen this kind of stone before and didn't know what it was.

It resembles jade but is not jade, and it doesn't look like an ordinary stone either, giving people a wonderful feeling.

Perhaps the secret of this gourd lies in this stone.

In addition, there are some complex patterns carved inside the stone.

Ye Chen was familiar with these patterns; they were array patterns.

Ye Chen recognized some of the array patterns.

Although he had studied the Hundred Solutions to Formations, there were still some formation patterns he didn't recognize.

It's absolutely true that people are always learning.

Apart from the uniqueness of the stone itself and the array patterns, there is nothing special about the inside of the gourd.

Ye Chen already had a guess in his mind: if he wanted to replicate it, he might need to have both.

The array patterns were simple; Ye Chen could carve them easily.

But Ye Chen had never seen this stone before, and it wouldn't be easy to find another one.

As for whether special stones are really needed, we'll have to test that out when we have time.

Ye Chen glanced at the black-robed man's collection. It consisted of some odd daily necessities, with only a jade pendant and a black bag being particularly unusual.

The jade pendant was carved with a snake with eight heads, which looked strange. The back was decorated with cherry blossom script that Ye Chen couldn't understand.

It's probably the so-called Yamamoto Jiro, since it has exactly four characters.

Perhaps it was the jade pendant that identified the man in the black robe.

As for the black bag that looked so sinister, Ye Chen had already guessed what it was for.

It's probably the soul bag of that black-robed man.

Otherwise, there would be nowhere else to hide his spirit servants.

Ye Chen took out the black bag and scanned it with his divine sense. Sure enough, there were four or five small orbs of light inside.

The black bag was just an ordinary black cloth bag; the material didn't seem to have anything special about it.

If there's anything special about it, it's that the inside of the bag has some unique patterns.

Ye Chen purified these small orbs of light and gave them to Xiao Qing.

Ye Chen then withdrew his divine sense, put away the small gourd, and finished his work.

Liu Jingxuan and the others were surprised, delighted and fearful when they saw Ye Chen return, their feelings were quite complicated.

Ye Chen's presence here indicates that he has already dealt with Yamamoto Jiro, meaning the threat from Yamamoto Jiro has disappeared.

I never expected Ye Chen to have such strength. Even Yamamoto Jiro is no match for him!

But a new problem arose: although the danger from Yamamoto Jiro had disappeared, the danger to them had not.

Their situation remains precarious.

They are now facing an existence even more terrifying than Yamamoto Jiro...

Is this going to kill me? We're doomed!

Ye Chen approached the group, removed their golden needles, and said calmly, "No need to thank me, I've already eliminated that Japanese devil for you."

"Ye, Ye Chen, no, don't kill me! I'll let you go back! I can give you information!"

After Liu Jingxuan was able to speak, his first words were to admit defeat.
