Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen walked to the guard booth and knocked on the window.

The old man seemed to only then notice that there was a living person standing outside.

"Young man, what's wrong? Who are you looking for?"

Ye Chen didn't beat around the bush: "Hello sir, I'm here to pick up something from the warehouse!"

"What do you want to take? This is an abandoned warehouse, there's nothing here. What do you want?" the old man said casually.

Ye Chen thought to himself, "You old man, you're quite the actor."

You might actually fool someone.

Ye Chen immediately took out his identification and the commendation order.

The old man waved his hand: "Oh, you're Ye Chen. Go in, just use facial recognition!"

"Ah, I'll go in by myself, so don't worry about me taking too much?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Take whatever you like. I'm just a doorman anyway. Oh, and you only have half an hour. The timer starts when you unlock the door. If you haven't made a choice by then, your chance is forfeited!"

After finishing his sentence, the old man continued to look down at his phone, showing no interest in chatting with Ye Chen!

It seems that long-legged girls on mobile phones are more attractive.

Ye Chen opened his mouth and said, "Well, old age can be quite colorful."

Ye Chen didn't disturb the old man's enjoyment and went inside on his own.

Half an hour is a short time, but it's enough for him.

If there's anything really good, you might not even need it for half an hour.

The longer the time frame, the easier it is to get caught up in the details; that's probably the intention behind setting this time frame.

Warehouse No. 7 looks dilapidated from the outside, but the access control system inside is quite high-tech.

Ye Chen passed through three facial recognition gates before officially entering Warehouse No. 7.

Ye Chen's first impression was that it was clean and simple, not the scene of various treasures piled up as he had imagined.

In this respect, the leaders of poor families are more substantial, there are so many of them, the visual impact is so strong!

Unlike here, which feels like eating high-end cuisine and makes you almost reluctant to eat it.

The warehouse has two floors and is more like a library.

The shelves were neatly arranged, and each item on the shelf had a corresponding number.

Ye Chen finally understood why the old man trusted him so much.

Because each item on these shelves is separated by a individually custom-made glass case.

You can only look, not touch...

So this is how you choose something—by looking through a glass door.

In that case, it won't be so easy to choose something you like.

Choosing to sell depends on a person's insight and a bit of luck.

Even if he wanted to take more, it seems he couldn't; I guess his access was limited to just one item.

That means you can only open one glass case at a time; you can't open more than that!

Of course, Ye Chen didn't intend to take more; probably no one would be foolish enough to have ulterior motives here...

If you manage to get this advantage, you'll probably have to pay it all back, plus interest.

Fortunately, the glass cabinet could not prevent his mental energy from penetrating, so apart from not being able to handle it, it did not have a significant impact on him.

Ye Chen roughly scanned the area with his mind. The warehouse was quite large, even larger than a typical county library, but the number of items was not that many!

The shelves on the second floor were almost all empty...

The shelves here are categorized in a fairly systematic way, with books in one area and objects in another.

More than half of the shelves were filled with ancient books, proving that books are indeed the ladder of human progress.

After a quick scan, Ye Chen began to carefully examine the items on each shelf.

As for books, Ye Chen could only judge by their titles.

However, with such a wide variety of book titles, choosing the right one is not so easy.

What are these so-called "Six Harmonies Divine Calculation," "Purple Star Physiognomy," and "Supreme Unity of the Three"...?

Ye Chen's eyes were dazzled by the sight; these books all appeared to be quite old, undoubtedly ancient texts.

Ye Chen couldn't see the contents of the book, and even if he could, he wouldn't have half an hour to read it slowly.

Half an hour is enough to go through everything.

Ye Chen scanned the books one by one, and in about 10 minutes, he had scanned all the books on display.

However, I didn't feel particularly excited about it.

Although he wanted them all, since some of the books could be used to trade for things, he ultimately refrained from doing so.

Next, Ye Chen began to scan the artifact area with his divine sense.

Incense burner, talismans, Three Pure Ones bell, peach wood sword, Heavenly Canopy Ruler, Vajra pestle, alms bowl, kasaya, small round shield, long sword...

The items were so numerous and varied that they were dazzling to the eye.

It is indeed quite difficult to distinguish these things without hands-on experience.

Magical artifacts need to be infused with spiritual energy to be perceived directly; otherwise, their mysteries may go unnoticed.

So Ye Chen finished scanning the area in about 10 minutes, but again, there was nothing that particularly appealed to him.

The food here is only so-so.

Ye Chen had been hoping for something that would catch his eye, but after searching around, he couldn't find it.

It's a pity that there aren't any items of the level of the Formation-Breaking Bow.

The enormous Warehouse No. 7 couldn't find a single item of this caliber...

Actually, it's understandable if you look closely, since the items in the warehouse are added by people.

If there were truly some exceptional items, would they still be stored in the warehouse until now?

It's practically impossible.

If such a thing existed, it would probably have been picked over long ago, or it wouldn't have even made it into Warehouse No. 7.

For example, if Ye Chen discovers something valuable while on a mission, would he hand it over to the authorities for safekeeping?

Uh... I don't think so!

Therefore, the truly good things should reside within the individual.

Ye Chen quickly grasped the key point and felt relieved. Oh well, his expectations were a bit too high.

That's how people are; once their horizons broaden, it becomes difficult for anything else to catch their eye.

Although there wasn't anything particularly appealing to him, he still had to choose something, and there was no reason not to take something for free.

With only about 8 minutes left, we must make a choice.

After seeing so much, it's indeed a bit of a dilemma.

If there were no time limit, he estimated he could stay here for half a day to carefully select the best among the short ones.

At this moment, Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on an ancient jade tablet in front of him.

To be precise, it's on the small characters on the ancient jade plaque.

This jade pendant has an ordinary appearance and looks like a typical antique jade pendant.

The surface is densely covered with small characters, which could easily be mistaken for ordinary patterns and overlooked if one did not look closely.

Ye Chen had just skipped over it, and only noticed it now when he glanced at it again unintentionally.

Ye Chen couldn't quite understand some of the characters, but he did understand some of the keywords.

The character “齐” is the most eye-catching, somewhat like an ancestral precept, the ancestral precept of the Qi family.

The gist of it is that if any bloodline genius awakens among the descendants of the Qi family, this ancient jade tablet will be passed on to them.

Hmm~, if I haven't misread any words, that's roughly the meaning!
