Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Reporting to Sword Saint, yes, Ye Chen is indeed in Lucheng. It's said that Lucheng will be holding a large-scale talent recruitment drive tomorrow!"

The man in black spoke respectfully, only reporting what had happened.

"Tomorrow... I understand. You may leave now!" the aged voice said slowly.

"Yes!" The man in black backed away from the courtyard.

After a while, an old man slowly walked out of the house and looked at the eastern sky.

He held a phone in his hand, which was playing footage of Ye Chen fighting in Dongyue.

Ye Chen's final battles were indeed amazing.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

He naturally saw that Ye Chen was slashing and shooting wildly, but that didn't matter.

Any Golden Core cultivator could do that if they had the weapon in Ye Chen's hand.

The important thing is that Ye Chen must have a secret.

Not long ago, he received a message from Ye Chen. Ye Chen was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, but now he has reached the Golden Core stage. His growth rate is a bit abnormal!

If he obtains this secret, there is a very high probability that he can advance further.

Moreover, he greatly admired the incredibly powerful weapon Ye Chen possessed...

It's a bit of a waste to put the money on such a young and inexperienced guy.

"Ye Chen, you must have quite a few secrets. You've reached the Golden Core level in such a short time and possess such a treasure!"

"Heh, too bad, what's yours won't be yours anymore soon!"

"I won't give you any more time to grow. If you continue to grow, even my cultivation at the third level of the Golden Core stage might not be enough to defeat you!"

"That sword, that bow, I, Akiki Ichiro, will have them!"

"With that bow, I'm confident I can shoot those old geezers!"

After muttering to himself, the old man picked up his phone and made a call: "Hello, it's time to act. Let the blood stain that country red once more."

"Sword Saint, Lord Orochi is still absorbing the power of the nation's destiny. Should we wake it up now?" A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"For now, Lord Orochi doesn't need to get involved. Lord Shukaku, please go and reap the rewards first, and while you're at it, play with those old guys and create some panic!" Akiki Ichiro chuckled.

"Understood. Should we notify the allied nations to coordinate the operation?" the middle-aged woman asked again.

After pondering for a while, Akiki Ichiro nodded: "Notify them to bring out their Golden Core level divine beasts. Let's go all out this time and probe their defenses. Once the Dragon Kingdom's mountains and rivers crumble and its spiritual energy overflows, we, as a lower-class nation, will be the biggest beneficiaries!"

"Yes, then let's send the order here. Is it okay to take action at dawn three days from now? A unified operation takes time, and more time to prepare will yield better results!" the middle-aged woman added.

Akiki Ichiro nodded: "You can handle the arrangements. Don't bother informing me of anything else; I have some personal matters to attend to!"

......

Ye Chen's roommate group chat has been quite lively these past few days.

Or rather, it's been quite lively ever since the cultivation method was announced.

Xiaoqiang has already drawn Qi into his body, while Xiaoming, who came into contact with cultivation methods earlier than Xiaoqiang, has already reached the first level of Qi refinement.

After diligently cultivating his spiritual veins, Dongzi also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

As someone who had been through it all, Dongzi shared his cultivation experience with them in the group!

Xiao Ming said he had been accepted into the local supernatural academy, which made him extremely excited.

Xiaoqiang hasn't gone for the interview yet, but he's full of confidence.

Just say that Ye Chen is my roommate, and he's absolutely guaranteed to get into the Extraordinary Academy, without a doubt.

Interviews are very flexible!

No interviewer would make a mistake at this point.

Their eldest brother's roommate of four years, and they were directly turned away?

Okay, let's stop joking!

As long as the basic conditions are met, no one will set up obstacles.

The group chat was buzzing with excitement; it was the boys' yearning for the world of fantasy and martial arts, their hopes and expectations for the future.

This isn't just about being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur); it's about chuunibyou becoming reality!

......

The next day, Tian Shu and his group arrived at the Supernatural Science Research Institute in Lucheng at 6 o'clock.

The absurd thing is, there are already dozens of people waiting here...

Sure enough, the King of Scrolls is everywhere, even after cultivation.

They may firmly believe that the early bird catches the worm, or they may firmly believe that arriving early will leave a good impression on the interviewer; in short, they just need to roll up their sleeves.

The college is located in a relatively remote school in Xiamen.

Of course, remoteness is only relative; it's still much better than many other areas.

At the very least, it's easily accessible!

Students who register from other counties and cities don't need to worry about what kind of transportation they will take.

The college was, after all, an old, unused school, so the conditions were just so-so.

Fortunately, the weeds and other weeds have been cleared away, and it looks alright.

As cultivators, we shouldn't worry about so many details; as long as there's a place for people to sit, that's fine.

Those dozens of people waited in groups of three or five at the school gate to welcome the arrival of Tian Shu's group.

"Hello, teacher!"

Someone in the crowd, quick-witted as ever, shouted out first.

The others were silent for a moment, then joined in, shouting, "Hello, teacher!"

Whether it's good or bad, we have to say it.

The teacher might not remember who shouted, but they have sharp eyes to see who didn't move their mouth!

Tian Shu and his group were all taken aback when they saw how energetic and spirited everyone was.

So this is what it feels like to be a teacher?!

There were a total of 10 people from Tian Shu, or rather 9. Xiao Qi was not a formal member of Tian Shu, but just an unofficial staff member who came temporarily to help.

Lu Ye, Dong Zi, and Liang Zijun, three veterans, led six newcomers who had just arrived, plus Xiao Qi, making a total of 10 people.

Second Uncle and Ah Long took turns going to the spiritual vein to cultivate.

Apart from Lu Ye, who was a bit older, around thirty or forty years old, and Dong Zi, who was a bit dark-skinned, the rest of the Tian Shu group looked very young.

If they weren't wearing name tags, they would probably be mistaken for students coming for an interview.

Many people looked surprised.

The difference is just too big. Look at them, and then look at ourselves...

Some people can become teachers at a young age, while some of them have already graduated for several years and are still here as students.

Sigh, life...

Lu Ye gestured for everyone to leave: "Good morning, everyone. Line up now and let's go in!"

Dongzi stepped forward and opened the school's large iron gate, standing there like a black gatekeeper and loudly announcing, "Enter in an orderly manner. First, scan the QR code for real-name authentication, then fill in your personal information. Remember to fill it in truthfully. If any information is found to be incorrect, your admission will be immediately revoked!"

Dongzi's words were quite impactful, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

After all, Dongzi is dark-skinned and doesn't look like a nice person, so saying some fierce things is most appropriate.

So Dongzi will sing the role of the black-faced character.

The group felt a sense of urgency and secretly categorized Dongzi as one of the teachers who were difficult to talk to.

After all, I have an interview later, so I'd rather avoid running into that hater if I can.

If you encounter this, you're incredibly unlucky.
