Chapter 35: Unknown Crisis

After Ye Chen finished doing these, he looked toward the female student lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

【You have slain a person of immense evil, making a great contribution to the world; if you had not killed him, who knows how many would suffer at his hands. We cultivators should act thus—defying heaven, defying earth, only for our true hearts.】

【This pill's effect can help the host break through after entering the Qi Refining secret realm, and also increase the host's chances of entering the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core secret realms later.】

【This pill's effect can help the host break through after entering the Qi Refining secret realm, and also increase the host's chances of entering the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core secret realms later.】

After the system finished speaking, a pill suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's hand; he glanced at it and tossed it into the system space.

Afterwards, he walked toward that female student; due to the excessive dosage of the bewitching drug, she remained unconscious until now.

Seeing this, Ye Chen waved his hand, instantly removing the bewitching drug from the female student's body; however, he did not wake her, but let her continue sleeping, and then implanted a memory in her mind.

To let her know she had almost been assaulted by an evil person, in her memory that evil person was struck down by a heavenly thunderbolt, thus sparing her from that fate; then, using her last consciousness, she dialed Yaoyao Ling's phone.

」That's about it. 」

Ye Chen looked at Hu Lingyue and said, he knew Hu Lingyue's name because he had just learned it in her consciousness space.

He did not explore Hu Lingyue's consciousness space; rather, when he entered, her name was already imprinted in her consciousness space, as if she feared forgetting her name.

「He's also someone with a story. 」

Ye Chen thought to himself, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

Although his figure vanished from the spot, he did not leave; instead, he hid in the darkness, protecting Hu Lingyue.

Until the sound "wulu wulu" rang out, Ye Chen then slowly departed.

On his way home, Ye Chen continued to ponder what to do next.

「Now that I've gotten rid of that scumbag, next I need to make money, set up the formation to receive Bai Lingling—this won't be easy. 」

Ye Chen thought to himself, he said it's not easy because he has no money.

「Why not get some from An Yu? 」

As soon as Ye Chen thought of this, he shook his head vigorously, 「No, no, how can I ask a child for money? 」

But then again......

「No, no, can't say that again. 」

Ye Chen had decided, he could not go ask An Yu for money, not even a bit.

「Why not go scrape the old man's private stash? 」

After Ye Chen finished saying that in his mind, he softly sighed, 「Forget it, his few hundred dollars of private money can't even buy the roots of medicinal herbs. 」

The medicinal herbs Ye Chen buys must be at least ten years old, for they then possess a bit of spirituality; moreover, some herbs require a hundred years, so Ye Chen said even 「the roots of medicinal herbs cannot be bought. 」.

「We need to think of a way to make money. 」.

Ye Chen thought to himself, and while he was thinking, he had already arrived downstairs of his home.

He looked up at his building's floors, leapt up, and as soon as he reached his room, he saw his paper figure looking at him with a resentful face.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.

He walked over and refined the food in the paper figure's belly; after finishing, he recalled the paper figure and thought about his money-making plan.

With his ability, making money is not difficult; the difficulty lies in making money without letting his parents know.

Ye Chen thought for a while, feeling increasingly annoyed, so he stopped thinking and began cultivating.

Although he had felt annoyed before, while cultivating he could quickly calm his mind; however, if his Dao heart is unstable during cultivation, it's easy to run into trouble, and a slight misstep could lead to demonic deviation.

Although he feels no strong distinction between demon and immortal, he is like ink— a huge blow to this world.

With his current ability, destroying a city is no problem, after all his strength is at the thirteenth layer of Qi Refining.

At dawn, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, 「Breakthrough. 」.

His heart felt a little excited; according to his current cultivation progress, he will soon reach the fifteenth layer of Qi Refining, and when he reaches the peak of the fifteenth layer, he will immediately take the 「Secret Realm Foundation Pill」, break through the secret realm, reach the sixteenth layer of Qi Refining, laying a solid foundation for his future cultivation.

After calming his emotions, he got up, washed up; his movements were swift and neat, even Ye Nan couldn't match him.

Just as Ye Chen was eating breakfast, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his ear; he had thought it was another assassin from the Northern Sect, but he never expected this to be a greater crisis than the Northern Sect's.

【The true chaotic era is about to arrive; your world will face tremendous change, various opportunities and treasures will emerge, only then will it be the true great world, and the powerful ones from the starry sky will also come, for your starry sky coordinates have long been exposed by yourselves.】

【They are currently on their way; estimated time is——three months, while the true chaotic era's opening time is still about——half a month away, the temporal deviation depends on the planet's own changes.】

After the system finished speaking, a sense of crisis welled up in Ye Chen's heart.

「Chaotic era, starry sky powerhouses—this means this realm is not lacking cultivators; it's just that this world has too few cultivators. 」.

Ye Chen thought to himself, he really didn't want to go to kindergarten now; he looked up at Ye Nan, who was bowing his head eating, but he ultimately couldn't say those words.

「Forget it, let the paper figure Ye Chen handle it later; I'll make a cloak that can alter my aura and height, then go to Antique Street, using my Heavenly Eye to tell genuine from fake at a glance—Antique Street never lacks wealthy people. 」.

Ye Chen thought to himself, casually ate two bites, then returned to his room on the pretext of fetching something; when Ye Chen reappeared, it was the paper figure Ye Chen, while Ye Chen himself picked up a piece of clothing and began refining a cloak that could alter aura and height.

After about an hour, Ye Chen finally finished refining the cloak; during this time, Lin Ruoxi and the returning Ye Nan never entered his room, which Ye Chen liked, because Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi respect his privacy and would not easily intrude.

After finishing the cloak, Ye Chen put it on; the instant he wore it, his aura and height changed instantly, making him look like an adult.

「Alright, this will make things much easier. 」.

Afterwards, he went to the e-sports room; at this moment Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi were resting, but to be safe, he still concealed his aura, sealing off perception from Lin Ruoxi.

He opened the computer to cram antique knowledge; with his ability to memorize a hundred lines at a glance, he just needed to scroll down, and he would naturally remember that knowledge.

Another hour passed, and he basically understood antique knowledge. Afterwards, he cleared the computer's browsing records, swaggered out of the room; before leaving, he pocketed a bit of Ye Nan's private money—helplessly, he had no money for a taxi or to buy antiques.

As the saying goes, borrow and repay, borrowing again is not hard, but it's estimated that Ye Chen will not return that bit of Ye Nan's private money.
