Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen glanced at the message and marveled at how efficient young people were.

It was done so quickly; if it were him, it would probably take until tomorrow.

Ye Chen replied with a "good" emoji.

Xiao An then transferred the remaining money to Ye Chen, adding a note: "I bargained with the print shop owner down to 10 cents per page, this is what's left!"

Ye Chen was also slightly surprised. Damn, Xiao An is so good at bargaining.

What about his previous printing?

After some haggling, the shopkeeper tearfully agreed to make 4 cents per page from him?

Sure, sure, from now on, leave the scanning and printing to Xiao An. As the saying goes, leave professional things to professionals!

This guy is meticulous in his work; he even transferred the extra money back.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't accept the money Xiao An sent. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of those books?"

A short while later, Xiao An sent a message: "Brother Ye, you entrusted me with such an important task. I know it's because you trust me. I didn't want to peek, but my eyes couldn't help but wander to some of the contents. To be honest, I'm really shocked. My worldview has been completely shattered!"

"But don't worry, Brother Ye, I won't leak it, and I haven't kept any copies. I've even deleted the records from the print shop."

Ye Chen smiled when he saw the message from Xiao An. This kind of reaction was normal!

He's alright. He's principled and methodical in his work.

"Wait for me at the TCM clinic!" Ye Chen sent a message and then put away his phone.

He glanced at Big Yellow, who was still breaking through, with his divine sense. Big Yellow's aura was steadily rising, and it would take some more time for Big Yellow to break through.

So Ye Chen went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic first.

One minute later, Ye Chen arrived at the TCM clinic, which was still brightly lit. Li Wenlong, Zhang Qian, and Xiao An were still there.

However, there were no patients in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

The group of people who were making tea immediately stood up when they saw Ye Chen coming over.

"Master!" "Grandmaster!" "Brother Ye!"

The group greeted Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and waved to the group, "Sit down, what are you doing?"

Xiao An ran into the inner room and brought out the original six ancient books and their copies.

"Brother Ye, here's everything you wanted. The scanned file is quite large, so I'll send it to your email!"

Ye Chen took it, glanced at it, and nodded: "Well done, thank you for your hard work!"

Xiao An scratched his head: "Hehe, it's not hard work at all. It's an honor to work for Brother Ye!"

Ye Chen suddenly changed the subject, looking at Xiao An and asking, "Do you want to cultivate?"

Xiao An was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous. After a long pause, he pointed to his own bag and asked, "Brother Ye, you...you mean I can?"

Ye Chen nodded.

Xiao An looked at Li Wenlong and Zhang Qian, who were both smiling at him.

Xiao An didn't know what to do with her hands, and excitedly said, "Brother Ye, it would be a lie to say I don't want to. I, of course I want to! Who doesn't yearn for cultivation? Maybe I'll even dream about it tonight!"

Ye Chen calmly said, "There's no turning back in cultivation. Think it through. This path is arduous, and there's always the risk of death!"

Xiao An was trembling all over, she was so excited!

He nodded without hesitation: "I'm willing. I'll do anything Brother Ye asks me to do. I'm not afraid of hardship or danger. I've already secretly vowed to follow Brother Ye for the rest of my life!"

Ye Chen tossed two small boxes to Li Wenlong: "Old Li, the men are in your hands now. Take one for each of them. Da Huang has broken through; I need to go back and keep an eye on him!"

Li Wenlong smiled and bowed: "Yes, Master!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he took his things and turned to leave.

They came and went in a hurry.

Xiao An was completely baffled...

Li Wenlong smiled and looked at Xiao An: "Xiao An, would you be willing to become my apprentice?"

Xiao An was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

"what?"

Zhang Qian kicked him in annoyance: "You're usually so clever, how come you always crash at crucial moments?"

Xiao An blinked, glanced at Zhang Qian, then looked at Li Wenlong. Suddenly, something seemed to click in her mind, and she excitedly asked, "Director Li, I... I can become your apprentice?"

Li Wenlong smiled but remained silent.

Zhang Qian snapped impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and become my disciple! Do you expect your master to beg you?"

Xiao An's mind has returned to normal, and he realizes that a tremendous opportunity has fallen into his lap.

Brother Ye is about to pass on his cultivation method, completely treating him as one of his own!

Director Li is Brother Ye's disciple, and Brother Ye instructed Director Li to take on disciples... That's right, that's how it is!

He immediately knelt down on the ground and performed the traditional apprenticeship ceremony of three kowtows and nine prostrations to Li Wenlong.

"Disciple Anquan greets Master!"

Xiao An shouted excitedly!

Li Wenlong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this was bestowed by your grandmaster. Take it when you get back, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow!"

"Yes, thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you, Master!" Xiao An kowtowed several more times, his forehead bruised and bleeding. He was incredibly obedient.

Zhang Qian coughed lightly: "Junior brother, call me 'senior sister' so I can hear it!"

Xiao An also bowed directly, saying, "An Quan greets Senior Sister Zhang!"

Zhang Qian, with an air of maturity, put her hands behind her back and said, "Hmm, not bad. From now on, I'll protect you in our sect!"

Xiao An grinned and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. As long as my senior sister doesn't bully me, I guess no one will."

The argument that he's being protected doesn't seem to make any mistake!

Li Wenlong rolled his eyes: "Alright, you need to step up your game too. Now that we have a junior brother, you, as his senior sister, have to set an example!"

Zhang Qian stuck out her tongue: "Okay, Master!"

"Here, this is for you. Take it when you get home!"

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Qian took the box from Li Wenlong's hand, opened it, and peeked inside.

"Hmm? Master, what are these pills? They even smell faintly fragrant!"

Zhang Qian asked in confusion.

Li Wenlong smiled mysteriously: "You'll know once you take it when you get back; it's incredibly nourishing!"

"Oh, okay!" Zhang Qian put the box away.

"That's enough for today, everyone go home now."

......

Ye Chen also returned to his room, where Da Huang had not yet completed its Foundation Establishment.

He then traded all six ancient books.

In this way, he gained two more martial arts techniques: the Mysterious Heaven Sword Technique and the Mysterious Heaven Nine Steps.

There is also a book called "One Hundred Explanations of Elixirs", plus one Condensed Gold Pill, three True Essence Pills, and three Solidifying Essence Pills.

In that instant, he felt incredibly wealthy!

With the Golden Elixir in hand, he felt that his path ahead would be much smoother.

It seems that after going to the spiritual vein, I might be able to break through to the Golden Core stage for fun.

Ye Chen took out a True Essence Pill, looked at it, and swallowed it without hesitation.

This thing can enhance the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, and you can only take one. I can't waste it, so I'll take one first.

He is currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or more precisely, between the seventh and eighth levels of Foundation Establishment.

This is the best time to take it; if you wait until he leaves the spiritual vein, it will be too late.
