Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen also became interested: "Oh~, interesting, let me take a look!"

Ye Chen took the stone and examined it. There was even a faint trace of spiritual energy inside the stone.

Hiss—spiritual energy?

Ye Chen's eyes lit up immediately. He was familiar with the stone that carried spiritual energy. Wasn't it a spirit stone?

He has another one, but it looks different from this stone.

Although this stone also contains spiritual energy, the amount of spiritual energy is much less than that of his spirit stone, or it may be because it has been consumed.

This was the first time Ye Chen had ever seen something resembling a spirit stone.

Ye Chen carefully examined the patterns on the outside of the stone. These patterns resembled some kind of array, and they looked quite old.

Ye Chen became even more curious. Could this be the foundation of some kind of formation?

"Ah Long, where did you get this stone?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.

"I bought this from a roadside stall in our county. I sensed some spiritual energy in it, so I bought it!" Ah Long grinned.

"When did you buy it? Is that stall still there?" Ye Chen pressed.

"I don't know about that. I bought it yesterday. Those stalls sell it randomly, so it's hard to say!" Ah Long scratched his head.

Did he say where the stone came from?

"Uh, I was afraid he'd find out the stone was extraordinary and wouldn't sell it, so I didn't ask any questions," Ah Long said somewhat embarrassedly.

Ye Chen nodded. Indeed, these vendors were all more cunning than monkeys.

If they realize the item is unusual, and the price is too low, they can always try to get it back.

"However, after I bought some, I chatted with him casually in the local dialect and confirmed that the vendor was a local!"

Ye Chen checked the time: "Let's go, let's go talk to that vendor and see if we can get a few more stones like these!"

"Brother Ye, besides containing spiritual energy, is there any other significance to this stone?" Ah Long asked curiously.

Ye Chen pointed to the patterns on it: "See these patterns? These are called array patterns. This stone might be a foundation stone for some kind of array!"

Ah Long seemed to understand but not quite: "Oh, I see. What kind of formation is this? Does a formation need to be made up of many stones like this?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "That's right, that's how it's understood. A formation consists of a core and multiple support points, so if we find out where this stone came from, we might be able to discover an ancient formation."

"An ancient formation? That... that couldn't be some kind of secret realm, could it?" Ah Long's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ye Chen said half-jokingly, "Perhaps that's possible too!"

He had never seen the so-called secret realm, so does it even exist?

Whether it was just a fiction created by the ancients, who knows!

It's always good to have high hopes!

"That sounds pretty impressive!" Ah Long stammered.

"Then, I'll book the tickets right away. Let's take the next bullet train!" Ah Long hurriedly took out his phone.

"Time is of the essence, no need to take the high-speed train, I'll fly you there!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

"Ah—flying there, that's a bit far, it'll take a lot of spiritual energy. How about we take a plane instead..." Ah Long said weakly.

"It's the right person for us, and he shouldn't be too short of time."

Ye Chen looked at Zhou Caiwei: "You continue cultivating here. When you get tired, practice your body-strengthening techniques. I'll go with A Long to find out what's going on!"

Zhou Caiwei originally wanted to go along, but then she thought that she had just started learning and hadn't even reached the first level of Qi Refining.

So he temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

Her strength doesn't allow her to be curious; she should focus on cultivating diligently first!

She nodded obediently and continued her cultivation!

Ah Long was still a bit confused when Ye Chen grabbed him and lifted him into the air.

Then his feet touched solid ground!

What is this? It's a ship...

Ah Long was so shocked that his mouth was practically agape.

Ye Chen glanced at him sideways: "Don't be so shocked yet, take out your phone and use navigation!"

Ah Long blinked, seemingly realizing what was happening: "Oh, oh!"

He fumbled around for a moment, pulled out his phone, and then entered the navigation address.

"The entire journey is 1067 kilometers and will take approximately 17 hours and 40 minutes..."

The navigation system immediately began to work diligently!

"Speed ​​limit ahead is 100 km/h, current speed is 1000 km/h, you are speeding, please control your speed!"

"Slow-moving vehicle ahead, please slow down!"

"You have entered a new route, which is expected to take approximately 20 minutes!"

"You have deviated from your course. A new route has been planned for you, which is expected to take 50 minutes longer!"

"A traffic jam is ahead; travel time is approximately 30 minutes!"

"You have passed through the congested area. Traffic information has been updated..."

"..."

Ah Long listened to the voice from the navigation system and looked at the scenery flying by outside. He felt a little dazed.

Wow, so TV wasn't lying after all!

This, this... well, Brother Ye will always be Brother Ye. Only he could have such miraculous skills!

Ah Long himself could also fly briefly, so he quickly adapted to flying on the Xuan Tian Boat.

"You've gotten used to this speed, right? I'm going to accelerate!" Ye Chen transmitted his voice.

Ah Long was startled: "It's already this fast, can it go even faster?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, increased the amount of spiritual energy he poured in, and the Xuan Tian Boat left a trail in the air as it sped toward its destination.

"Speed ​​limit ahead is 110 km/h, current speed is 2000 km/h, you are speeding, please slow down!"

Fortunately, the Xuan Tian Boat has an airflow shield, otherwise the airflow alone would have blown your hair off.

The two flew for more than 40 minutes before finally reaching their destination.

"Brother Ye, it's over there! That's where I bought this stone yesterday!"

Ah Long pointed to a roadside stall not far away, somewhat excited.

As long as the stall is still there, at least the trip wasn't a complete waste.

The problem with these mobile stalls is that the owners might just be doing it on a whim, or they might just be up and about and move on to a different location.

It still depends a lot on luck.

At this moment, a young couple was standing in front of the stall, and they seemed to be picking out things as well.

Ye Chen scanned the stall with his divine sense and found nothing of value.

Most of them are modern handicrafts or antique-style handicrafts, obviously fake.

It seems impossible to find another array stone.

Ye Chen and A Long walked over and watched quietly from the side.

If you want to ask someone a question, at least wait until they've finished the business they're currently doing.

A young woman took a fancy to a jade pendant at the stall!

At this point, the girl was haggling with the stall owner, and she had already negotiated the price down to 998, but the stall owner refused to budge.

"Beautiful lady, this is antique jade. This price is the lowest I've ever seen. You won't find this price anywhere else!"

The boy, unable to bear it any longer, pouted and said, "Boss, let's not beat around the bush. 98 or not? If not, we're leaving!"
