Chapter 53: Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram

Ye Chen finished speaking, immediately sat cross-legged, and the surrounding spiritual energy frantically surged toward his body, but the spiritual energy in this world is too thin; although all the spiritual energy in Dachang City is rushing over, the amount is actually not much.

But now the spiritual energy is already several times what it was before.

"A great change……is not far off."

Ye Chen finished speaking, then began to earnestly absorb the Yin-Yang power from the Yin-Yang Jade Bracelet.

While Ye Chen was absorbing the Yin-Yang power from the Yin-Yang Jade Bracelet, Zhang Hai came back once during that period, bringing the medicinal herbs and stone materials Ye Chen needed.

The medicinal herbs and stone materials were not much; Zhang Hai brought them back alone, merely packing them into several boxes—because of the herbs' special nature, they had to be boxed, whereas the stone materials required no such fuss.

These stone materials are not special at all, and he also said while talking with Ye Chen that they could be packed however.

"Brother Ye, have you never come out even once?"

Zhang Hai asked Ji An.

Ji An shook his head, indicating he had never come out even once.

Seeing Ji An shake his head, Zhang Hai immediately frowned slightly.

"It's been an hour already, and you still haven't come out once, Brother Ye—whatever you're working on is a bit complicated."

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Ji An immediately said, "Don't you have surveillance on the second floor? Let's check."

When Ji An said that, Zhang Hai lightly shook his head and replied, "It's useless—weren't we alone on the second floor for a while before?"

"That day happened to be the day Brother Ye cured my daughter; when I brought her home from the hospital, I opened the surveillance to see what was going on—guess what happened."

"What!?"

Ji An immediately asked.

Zhang Hai did not immediately reply to Ji An, but instead lifted his head to look at the second floor, then slowly said, "That day, the surveillance completely failed; before that, such a situation had never occurred."

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Ji An's eyes were full of shock, but soon he thought of a possibility and asked again, "Perhaps there is a chance that the surveillance just happened to break that day?"

"But after Brother Ye left, the surveillance worked again—how do you explain that?"

"Perhaps it's the surveillance……"

Zhang Hai seemed to know what Ji An wanted to say, and before Ji An could finish, he added, "Then when Brother Ye was alone on the second floor, the surveillance failed again—this time you surely can't find any excuse."

After Zhang Hai finished speaking, Ji An fell silent again; there aren't that many coincidences in the world—once or twice might be, but three or four times, that's not it.

Seeing Ji An silent, Zhang Hai said nothing more, but lifted his head and looked toward the second floor.

At that moment, on the second floor, Ye Chen's eyes were tightly closed; a black and white fish representing yin and yang swam slowly around him, and his aura grew ever stronger.

The next instant, his eyes snapped open, and a sharp light burst from his pupils, overwhelmingly powerful.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

【Congratulations, your Taiji Double Fish Diagram has been strengthened and advanced to the Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram; with the power of your secret realm, you can even fight someone one major realm above you!】

Ye Chen heard the system's words, his heart surging with excitement; he is now at the sixteenth layer of Qi Refining, which is the secret realm's power, and combined with the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram's power, he can battle a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator—a span that is certainly not small.

But soon he withdrew his focus; the chaotic age is approaching, and his current meager strength is nowhere near enough—his only recourse is to become strong enough before the chaotic age arrives to protect everyone around him.

【When facing such a great achievement, you have no arrogance; this state of mind is truly rare. To encourage the host, this system hereby comes forth to cheer you on—may you continue to strive.】

After hearing the system's words, Ye Chen felt a bit dazed, "No, system, aren't you going to give me some reward?"

【No, I'm just here to make my presence known.】

"Damn system, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Ye Chen really couldn't figure out whose system is this neurotic.

After Ye Chen stopped talking to the system, he looked at the Yin-Yang Jade Bracelet in his hand, which now had no Yin-Yang power left.

"The jade of this bracelet is also top-notch; it could still be made into a magical treasure, though I might have to go back on my word."

"Since I've absorbed all the Yin-Yang power inside, this piece of jade is no longer that tough; at most two uses, and it will shatter completely."

Ye Chen said, then began to craft formations in the jade bracelet.

"I'll make a protective formation, an offensive formation, and a sensing formation; the offensive formation will counterattack depending on the situation—if someone tries to kill them, it activates; if they get hit by a car, the protective formation activates."

"The sensing formation will be responsible for letting me sense whether they are in danger."

Ye Chen said to himself, then began to engrave formations in the jade bracelet.

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help praising the system, "I have to say, the basic formation forging the system gave is truly timely."

Ye Chen engraved formations from daytime until night; with Zhi Ren Ye Chen present, he wasn't worried about any unforeseen situations at home—of course, except for the witch Gan Yi.

However, he estimated Gan Yi wouldn't come today, but as soon as he finished saying that, his eyes widened in shock—"Holy shit, how did this witch come again!?"

Ye Chen truly couldn't understand how this witch came again—"Does this guy really treat my house as her own home!?"

Now seeing Gan Yi, Ye Chen even felt a little afraid—"As a proper cultivator, I'm having my Dao heart shattered by an ordinary person; this Gan Yi has some ability."

【It's not because you're an old virgin who can't even catch a fairy—what good are you?】

"Holy shit, system, if you don't speak you'll die!"

However, after Ye Chen finished speaking, the system did not reply; seeing the system silent, he said nothing more, took out the already-engraved jade bracelet, and went downstairs.

When Zhang Hai and Ji An saw Ye Chen come downstairs, they hurried over to him.

"Brother Ye, are you done?"

Ji An asked first; after Zhang Hai's daytime talk, Ji An now sincerely submits to Ye Chen—if Ye Chen tells him to go east, he will never go west; that is his attitude!

After hearing Ji An's words, Ye Chen turned and said to him, "Hmm, done—each of you gets one."

Ye Chen said, handing over the jade bracelet; Zhang Hai and Ji An looked at the bracelet in his hand, identical to before, and without hesitation took the jade bracelet from Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye, what use does this jade bracelet have now?"

Zhang Hai asked curiously.

"It can protect your lives twice; I've extracted what was inside this jade bracelet, so the number of uses has decreased by one."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Hai and Ji An carefully examined the jade bracelet in their hands, but they could see nothing special about it; although they believed Ye Chen's words wholeheartedly, they still retained a hint of doubt.
