Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Master Lu Yin suppressed his excitement and began to absorb and refine this energy.

The more he refined it, the more he felt he owed Ye Chen a great debt of gratitude.

With such abundant vitality, he could easily live for many more years.

It can even improve physical functions, and perhaps even advance one's cultivation level!

His efforts in protecting them all these days were worthwhile; Ye Chen is truly admirable!

......

After leaving Deer Hidden Manor, Ye Chen flew directly onto the Xuan Tian Ship and sped towards Dongyue.

He can now control the Xuan Tian Boat faster than before.

At a speed of seven or eight thousand miles per hour!

Even the mobile navigation signal is too weak!

However, as long as Ye Chen can tell the direction, he hardly needs navigation!

On the Xuan Tian Boat, he used a power bank to temporarily power on his dead phone and check the phone's information from the past few days.

There was nothing he could do; his breakthrough had taken too long, and his phone had long since run out of battery!

Nowadays, mobile phones need to be charged almost every day, or every two or three days. Even on standby, they can't last for more than a week.

Many applications consume a significant amount of power in the background.

This also caused Ye Chen's alarm clock to not go off.

Lu Ye sent him a few messages saying that those who applied to transfer to Tian Shu had already started working.

The message was sent a few days ago, so Ye Chen didn't reply.

There wasn't much other useful information!

The most recent message he received was from an unknown number last night, asking him to call the office back after seeing it!

He then checked the missed calls; there were indeed several.

The most recent one was last night, a call from the big boss's office!

Ye Chen didn't answer the call three times in a row!

Sigh, how come I lose track of time as soon as I break through this barrier?

Ye Chen was somewhat annoyed!

He knows nothing about this right now, so he definitely can't make a phone call, and he's too embarrassed to do so either!

I can only pretend I didn't see the phone message for now!

Why make a phone call? Are you going to turn around and ask the big boss about the situation?

For now, he can only go to Dongyue to trace the situation and see what exactly happened there!

If it's not a big problem, then it doesn't matter. We can settle some scores slowly!

If the problem is serious, he will take immediate action to address it and prevent the situation from worsening.

At Ye Chen's current flying speed, he can reach Dongyue in just a few minutes.

It's not a big deal if it takes a little more time!

Ye Chen put down his phone, took out the Mountain and River Cauldron, and began to check the situation in Dongyue!

However, Ye Chen glanced at it briefly and didn't find anything unusual.

Hmm~?

Ye Chen manipulated the image on the Mountain and River Cauldron again, scanning the scene inside. The scene inside the cauldron was still peaceful.

Could it be that he was overthinking things? Did Elder Chen really just summon people from all the major sects to Dongyue for the Xuanmen Conference, and it really was just a meeting?

They left right after the meeting?

No, something's not right!

The more peaceful the scene, the more uneasy Ye Chen felt!

He began to carefully investigate each main area and eventually discovered something unusual at a mountaintop!

Ye Chen zoomed in on the image and discovered that there seemed to be traces of an array on the mountaintop!

It seems to be some kind of shielding formation!

Ye Chen then checked other areas, but found no formations there.

However, upon closer inspection, it is quite unusual.

That is, he didn't see a single tourist!

Mount Dongyue attracts tourists all year round!

We haven't seen a single tourist today? That's very unusual!

It seems something has indeed happened!

Ye Chen shifted his perspective to the foot of the mountain.

There are indeed people here, quite a few, at least a thousand!

It turns out that all the tourists were gathered at the foot of the mountain!

These people were talking amongst themselves, occasionally pointing towards the mountaintop and chatting about something!

There were also many law enforcement officers at the scene, who had set up cordon lines to maintain order.

It's human nature to watch a spectacle, so none of the tourists thought about leaving!

Even if they couldn't reach the top of the mountain, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm for watching the spectacle.

Many people even took out their phones and were live-streaming from a distance...

Ye Chen roughly understood the situation and quickly put away the Mountain and River Cauldron!

One minute later.

Ye Chen successfully arrived at Mount Dongyue!

It only took a few minutes from start to finish.

This level of efficiency is probably only something Ye Chen could achieve.

Ye Chen did not land directly on the mountaintop, but quietly approached the crowd.

The tourists were buzzing with discussion!

"Hey, do you guys know what happened? Why can't we go up the mountain?"

"There must be some extraordinary treasure appearing. I was here last night, you didn't know..."

"Holy crap, are you serious? You're even planning the birth of some extraordinary treasure? Trust science, okay?"

"Tch, believe it or not, if you don't, don't ask me. Go somewhere cool and stay there!"

"..."

Ye Chen listened to these disjointed conversations along the way, finding them rather uninteresting.

He pushed his way forward!

"Damn it, don't you dare push!"

"Why are you pushing and shoving? We can't get up the mountain!"

Some of the people who were pushed past Ye Chen uttered sounds of dissatisfaction.

Ye Chen ignored the crowd and pushed his way to the front to find a staff member, showing his identification.

The staff member was about to ask Ye Chen to leave, but paused for a moment after seeing Ye Chen's identification.

"Hello, comrade, what happened? Tell me!" Ye Chen asked first.

Although the staff member couldn't understand the specific content, he still recognized the characters for "country" and "security"!

Faced with Ye Chen's question, the staff member did not dare to be negligent.

"Yes, there was an earthquake yesterday at noon. The mountains shook, accompanied by strange noises; the tremors were quite strong!"

"For the safety of tourists, we have persuaded them to come down the mountain and temporarily closed the scenic area!"

"The strange noises lasted from noon yesterday until early this morning, and there were also unusual phenomena in the sky last night!"

At this point, the staff member began to gesture exaggeratedly.

"Can you imagine a mountaintop glowing in the middle of the night? It's amazing, the sky is blood red, it's eerie."

The staff member clicked his tongue at this point.

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

Just listening to what the staff said didn't seem to help him make a judgment.

"Has anyone else taken over this?"

Ye Chen asked.

The staff member shook his head: "Not yet, only law enforcement officers have arrived."

As Ye Chen spoke, a commotion arose again from the crowd behind him.

Speak of the devil and he appears!

The person in charge of this matter has arrived.

Ye Chen glanced at the people coming over and was stunned. There were 5 people this time, and Ye Chen actually knew 2 of them.

One of them was Chen Dao, whom I had met during the last spiritual vein cultivation.

One of them is Zhou Changsheng, Weiwei's cousin.

The other three should all be people from Tianquan!

It's true what they say, you never know where you might meet someone in life!

Ye Chen then remembered that this area seemed to be the territory of Tianquan.

It's quite normal for the person in charge of Tianquan to personally bring people over.

Chen Dao led his men over, and when he got closer, he realized that Ye Chen was also there.

Chen Dao paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and came to Ye Chen's side, cupping his hands and smiling.

"Team Leader Ye is here too!"

Ye Chen nodded at him: "Yeah, I just happened to be passing by!"

"Brother-in-law!" Zhou Changsheng exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Ye Chen.
