Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

In short, when Ye Chen came out, he looked solemn and preoccupied.

The higher the position, the more things to worry about, and the greater the responsibility on one's shoulders.

This is an ironclad rule: in the workplace, only ordinary positions allow for happy slacking off.

Therefore, Ye Chen, as the person in charge of Tian Shu, actually bears a considerable responsibility.

Ye Chen only had about ten days left, so he didn't waste any time and went to the spiritual vein that very night to prepare for his breakthrough.

The spiritual vein was located in the suburbs, and Ye Chen discovered it immediately using his Qi Observation Technique.

The area within a one-kilometer radius of the spiritual vein has been designated as a restricted zone, with various signs prohibiting approach.

Although there weren't guards every five steps, the security was still quite tight!

Ye Chen quickly scanned the area and found no fewer than five alarms within a mere 100-meter radius.

Of course, although it is said that getting close is prohibited, there are still quite a few people who linger nearby to cultivate and absorb spiritual energy!

After all, the spiritual energy in the surrounding area is quite tempting, essentially forming a natural spirit-gathering array.

The concentration may not be comparable to that of the depths of a spiritual vein, but it's still better than having no spiritual energy to absorb at all!

Resources must be earned through one's own efforts.

As long as they are not driven away, they can cultivate in peace.

Even if we get kicked out, we won't suffer any loss, right?

It's precisely because Lucheng is far from here that Ye Chen would probably send someone here to soak up some spiritual energy.

Everyone is striving for progress, which is perfectly understandable.

Ye Chen didn't mean to look down on them.

Ye Chen's arrival, however, alerted the people nearby.

One of the middle-aged men sized Ye Chen up and down before coldly saying, "New here, huh? There are rules for cultivation here. Everyone must maintain a distance of at least 20 meters. This area is full, so go somewhere further away!"

Perhaps Ye Chen's looking around was mistaken for someone trying to fleece people of spiritual energy.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, without saying any more nonsense to them, and headed straight for the Spirit Vein Reception Area.

The people around Ye Chen were stunned when they saw him enter the reception area.

"Holy crap, that guy's actually from Beidou! I thought he was just a rogue cultivator. I'm so envious of him being a member of Beidou at such a young age!"

"Tch, what's so great about Beidou? Look at you, so smug. Being a rogue cultivator is so much more carefree!"

"Ha, I bet you're just being sarcastic because you can't get into Beidou!"

"Nonsense, it's just that I don't want to go!"

"I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense. If you can get into BeiDou, what reason do you have not to?"

"I was waiting for the major sects to recruit people. You don't understand. Sects are the final destination for us independent cultivators. The profound heritage of major sects is beyond your imagination!"

"Alright, shut up. Hey? Didn't that guy look kind of familiar?"

"Familiar? Hmm—now that you mention it, I do feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

"Beidou, a young man, his face looks familiar..."

The group exchanged glances and suddenly saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Ye, Ye Chen, that person just now was Ye Chen—"

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

"Holy crap—I actually saw Ye Chen!"

"Oh my god, Ye Chen, I, I, I just told him to go cultivate in a farther place, oh no, oh no, will he get angry and embarrassed...?"

......

The group was shocked; they feared they would have no chance to cultivate diligently tonight!

Although Ye Chen had walked far away, he still heard their conversation and couldn't help but smile.

He's famous now, and he runs into people who know him almost everywhere he goes, which is actually a kind of trouble.

This also means that the simple life of ordinary people has nothing to do with him anymore.

Ye Chen walked to the reception desk, and the young lady there was a little stunned to see him.

"Hello, I'm Ye Chen. I made an appointment; I'm here to cultivate at the spiritual vein!"

Ye Chen spoke politely, took out his ID, and handed it over!

Upon seeing the documents Ye Chen handed over, the receptionist's mouth formed an "O" shape; it really was Ye Chen.

The young woman quickly realized what was happening and immediately pulled out a T-shirt and a marker: "Ye, Ye Chen, I've finally met you in person! You're my idol, could you sign this for me?"

"Give it to me!" Ye Chen smiled, took the pen from the other person, and signed his name on the T-shirt!

Ye Chen never expected to run into a little fangirl at the reception desk of the spiritual vein.

This was also the first time he had signed autographs for fans. So this is what signing autographs feels like!

"Thank you, thank you!"

Ye Chen's approachable demeanor almost made the receptionist forget the proper procedures.

In the end, she calmed herself down and completed the formalities for Ye Chen.

"Ye, Ye Chen, this is your access card. Since you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you have a private cultivation room. Just find the corresponding room according to the number on the card and enter..."

She then explained some precautions to Ye Chen, perhaps wanting to spend more time alone with him. In any case, she explained them very carefully!

Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry. After all, it was his first time visiting the spiritual vein, and it would be good to get to know it better!

The spiritual vein cultivation rooms extend from the outside in, totaling 13.

It is estimated that they were worried that having more would damage the spiritual veins, so they only designed 13 cave chambers.

Of course, if too many people are crammed together to cultivate, the cultivation effect will be affected.

Training rooms 1 through 3 are not open to the public on ordinary days; they are reserved for Foundation Establishment cultivators or heads of various departments.

These are three rooms that are located relatively deep within the spiritual vein and have a relatively rich spiritual energy, so this can be considered a small privilege!

Of course, the other members of Beidou also have 10 training rooms to use in rotation. Beidou only has about a hundred people in total, so it is enough.

This is also the reason for limiting the number of times members can practice.

Otherwise, everyone would want to cultivate in the spiritual veins, and some would even want to live in them directly. Is that even possible?

There are too many monks and not enough porridge; we must overcome this challenge.

Ye Chen received the No. 1 cultivation room number plate, which belongs to a cave chamber at the deepest part of the spiritual vein.

After the receptionist finished explaining the precautions, Ye Chen went straight to Cave 1 along the route.

He also passed by some other caves, but he couldn't see what was inside or who was cultivating there.

These caves, made of unknown materials, are able to prevent outsiders from prying their minds into view.

It seems the privacy features are quite good!

Ye Chen used the number plate to open the door to Cave 1. The cave was not large, just a small cave with a length, width and height of about three meters.

There was only a life detector and a fresh air system inside, nothing else.

Compared to the simple cave chamber, the concentration of spiritual energy here is the real highlight.

The concentration of this spiritual energy is almost equivalent to that of a spirit stone.

The main problem is that he feels bad about absorbing spirit stones for cultivation, since he only has a few hundred spirit stones left.

No one knows if the adoptive father will give him more spirit stones; every one he absorbs is one less.

But the spiritual energy here is unlimited, so you can absorb as much as you want without feeling bad!

He no longer needs to hesitate; he can now absorb everything he wants!

It's hard to imagine that just a door can separate two places by such a large difference in spiritual energy.

When he first arrived, there was plenty of spiritual energy outside, but it was still far less than that inside the sect.

This design is awesome!

Ye Chen had no time for sentimentality; it would be a waste not to cultivate in such a good environment.

This time, the condensation of the Golden Core is a sure thing!
