Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen looked at the thick dark clouds, wondering when they would dissipate.

He's already taken five or six hits!

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Chen swallowed one of the disease-curing pills and one of the spirit-gathering pills to keep himself in a good charred state.

"Boom boom boom~!"

"Oh ho ho ho ho~!"

Then three more bolts of lightning struck in succession, and Ye Chen screamed in agony as he was struck.

Of course, sometimes making a sound can be addictive; it's an instinctive sound, not necessarily a sign of physical exhaustion...

Below, the old security guard clicked his tongue in amazement: "Tsk tsk tsk, to be so energetic after nine strikes of heavenly lightning, that's freakish. His body is incredibly sturdy. Could this kid be a master of body tempering?"

"Judging from these signs, it should be the legendary Forty-Nine Thunder Tribulation. Heh, so there really is such a thing as a thunder tribulation in the Golden Core realm. Does that mean my Golden Core realm is a bit of a stretch?"

"Beidou has produced a true genius!"

The old security guard looked at the figure struck by lightning in mid-air with a sigh.

The old security guard finally picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hello, it's me. Have someone seal off a 10-kilometer radius around the spiritual vein."

"Yes, right now, immediately!"

"In addition, check everyone's phone photo album and social media accounts; delete any inappropriate content immediately!"

"Tell that person that a new guardian has been born, and he knows what to do!"

After giving his instructions, the old man hurriedly hung up the phone.

He then glanced at the buildings in the distance and flew straight toward a rogue cultivator who was taking pictures with his phone.

The student was so excited taking pictures that his phone was snatched away the next second!

The rogue cultivator was stunned for a moment, realizing that a security guard had appeared beside him without him noticing!

The phone was in the old security guard's hand.

The old security guard skillfully and quickly deleted the video that he had just painstakingly filmed.

They were practically formatting his phone...

Formatting can also be physical formatting, commonly known as "squeezing down"!

"Hey old man, what the hell are you doing? Give me back my phone!"

The rogue cultivator was enraged!

"Didn't you see 'No photography here'? If you beep again, your phone will be confiscated!"

The old security guard spoke coldly, in a businesslike manner.

"What do you mean by 'no photos allowed'? You old man, just stand your post and mind your own business!" The rogue cultivator tried to grab the phone from the old security guard's hand.

The old security guard glanced at him sideways: "Don't move, or I'll pull out my stun gun and see if you're scared! I said no filming, and that's final. Otherwise, don't come here to 'cultivate' again!"

After the old security guard finished speaking, he looked around the room.

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

Some people who were originally thinking of taking out their phones changed their minds, as the saying goes, it's better to avoid trouble.

The matter at hand is clearly of great importance; if we take photos indiscriminately, we could really be held accountable.

The old security guard's words, "Don't come here to cultivate anymore," made everyone back down.

Their cultivation around the spiritual veins is already borderline, it just depends on whether the management office takes it seriously!

If they really insist on not letting you cultivate in this area, there's really nothing they can do!

If they offend this old security guard and he takes it seriously, he might come and block them every day. Then they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.

As the saying goes, everyone should support each other in their work!

This is the security guard's job; helping others is helping yourself!

You should still give the security guards face; they also need your help.

Therefore, at the moment, these independent cultivators cooperated well with the old man who was guarding them, and no one had any intention of causing trouble.

Just kidding, causing trouble around a spiritual vein is probably asking for trouble.

Upon hearing this, the rogue cultivator who was filming reluctantly refrained from making any further moves!

"Don't talk nonsense about what happened tonight, understand? If there's any gossip outside, I'll be on duty here from now on, specifically to stop you!"

The old security guard made a vicious threat.

"Hehehe, sir, no, we're very tight-lipped, we promise we won't say anything!"

Immediately, some independent cultivators expressed their support!

"Yes, yes, sir, we promise we won't lie! We have absolutely no idea what happened today!"

The old security guard glanced at them sideways: "You swear on your Dao foundation that you will not reveal this to anyone, otherwise you will never be able to establish your foundation in this lifetime!"

Everyone was stunned. Daoji swore, "Damn, this old security guard knows so much! Could he be a cultivator too...?"

Judging from his calm demeanor, it seems like it's confirmed!

What shocked everyone even more was that they couldn't see through the old man's true nature.

The only possibility is that the old man's cultivation level is much higher than theirs!

In that instant, everyone realized the situation before them.

Well, thankfully they didn't do anything reckless, or they would have really messed up.

The rogue cultivator who was filming was sweating profusely; he had even considered hitting someone for a fleeting moment...

If they beat up the old security guard, he'd probably be finished!

That was close!

Indeed, one should be humble and modest!

Finally, everyone took the oath as the old security guard had instructed, and only then did the old security guard leave satisfied.

The old security guard came to the Lingmai reception hall again.

The hall was bustling with activity as everyone gathered around the window, intently watching Ye Chen undergo his tribulation in mid-air.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" The receptionist immediately became wary upon seeing the elderly security guard.

She didn't see how the security guard got close, nor did she receive any prior notice.

Moreover, the alarm failed to issue a warning.

You should know that an alarm will sound if a stranger gets close to a spiritual vein within a certain range.

Now that the person has appeared in their reception hall, she didn't even know.

If this is a bad guy, then we're really doomed!

The receptionist was sweating bullets!

His voice also drew the attention of others.

The other members of Beidou didn't think anything of it. They didn't come here often anyway, so there was no need to be surprised by the sudden appearance of a security guard.

However, the staff at the Spirit Vein Management Office immediately went on alert.

This isn't a place anyone can just come to!

There is a basic layer of security on the outside, as well as facial recognition equipment.

Unauthorized personnel attempting to approach will be immediately stopped by security, and an alarm will sound.

Even if an authorized person approaches, the receptionist in the lobby will know in advance; it's impossible for her not to know.

As a result, they did not receive any notification from the perimeter security or hear any alarms while they were there.

The old security guard bypassed their outer security perimeter and entered the reception hall without making a sound.

The manager stepped forward, looking at the old security guard with some wariness, and asked, "Which unit are you from, and what are you doing here?"

The old security guard glanced at the person in charge of the management office: "Are you the person in charge here?"

The management office manager nodded unconsciously, then realized something and pressed further: "You haven't answered my question yet. This isn't a place you can just come and go as you please. Explain your purpose now, or I'll call security!"

But what he said sounded strange. Wasn't this guy just a security guard?
