Ye Chen made a fortune by selling misery

However, Ye Chen didn't show it, instead saying with a troubled expression: "Lord Oen, in my heart, I am very willing, but with Dan Shi leaving, my means of self-preservation will be reduced by quite a lot."

"You brat, seriously! You just want benefits, why are you still acting here! Take it!" Aoun said, both annoyed and amused.

Then, Aoun threw a pile of items in front of Ye Chen.

Most of these items were consumables.

[Flame Crystal: Possesses the power to incinerate everything, dealing 500,000 damage to enemies]

[Absolute Protection: Consumable, forms a protective wall, blocking 888,888 damage]

...

These are all good things!

Aoun said proudly: "How about it, that's enough, right? Thirty consumables, each with super high damage and super high defense; they are more useful than your Dan Shi, right? And there's a four-star defensive set. Satisfied now!"

Of course I'm satisfied. How could I not be satisfied with this!

Ye Chen immediately said: "Thank you, Lord Oen!"

He noticed that crystal stone had no information. Could it just be an ordinary ornament? But that shouldn't be right.

"Lord Oen, what is that?" Ye Chen asked, pointing at the crystal stone.

"What? You've got your eye on it?"

Ye Chen quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I'm just curious."

If he were too greedy, it would certainly displease Aoun. People who are greedy are destined to be unlikable.

Although the other party had a good temper, it didn't mean he had no temper at all!

"This is an Energy Crystal Stone. It can provide a steady stream of Qi and blood, and increases base attributes by ten percent. Although its functions are quite comprehensive, it doesn't increase much in any single aspect."

Ye Chen let out an 'oh'. It was indeed a bit of a chicken rib.

"I might as well give you a treasure!" Aoun threw out a glittering item.

[Heaven Stone, universal Materials for refining Heaven Rank items]

Although it was just a short dozen words, it was enough to show the value of this item.

Just these four words, 'universal Materials', could explain its uniqueness.

"Thank you, Lord Oen! By the way, where should I find you in a month?"

Aoun said: 'Still here. Although the Secret Realm will disappear, the mountain will not. Just come here then!'

"Yes!"

Ye Chen looked at Dan Shi: "Dan Shi, you stay here and learn forging from Great Master Aoun for now!"

Dan Shi was also quite willing; he nodded and gave a grunt of affirmation.

"Then I'll be going now!"

Aoun nodded.

Ye Chen turned around, taking the three little ones with him, ready to leave.

"By the way, be careful. Many great experts have already descended. Even I am vulnerable before them, especially in those unknown areas. While there are many treasures, the danger is also great. Not all experts have as good a temper as I do! Also, treat Gun Gun better!"

Aoun's voice came from behind Ye Chen.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Oen!"

"Mm, go on!"

Ye Chen walked out of the Immortal Cave and headed down the mountain.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain.

Hong Ye and the other four were waiting.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen won't be in trouble, right?" White Leaf asked worriedly.

Hong Ye shook his head: "He won't be in trouble. You think that Aoun has a good temper? Actually, he only treated us with a smile because of Gun Gun and Ye Chen's Face; otherwise, our fate would have been the same as those people from the Heavenly Wolves!"

Hong Ye was an extremely clever person and could naturally see the clues in the situation.

"Ah, what do you mean?"

"Of course. Otherwise, think about it: why would someone as strong as Lord Oen give us so many things? In his eyes, we are nothing but ants. All that talk about 'fate' is just talk. He gave us the contents of an entire Immortal Cave; do we really have that much Face?"

The four of them, including White Leaf, fell silent instantly.

"In the future, we should treat Junior Brother Ye Chen better and be more respectful. The achievements of Ye Chen's strength in the future will definitely be something we cannot reach. He will surely become an existence we look up to!"

White Leaf and the others nodded, their eyes flickering as they pondered something.

By this time, Ye Chen had already descended the mountain and saw Hong Ye and the others walking over.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the sky was bright.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, you're back!"

"Are you alright?"

Ye Chen laughed: "I'm fine, everything is good. Lord Oen is actually a pretty good person."

"Mm, that's good. We've had a huge harvest this time."

"There are still four days left. In these four days, we can still collect a lot of things," White Leaf said with a smile.

Hong Ye took a look at his phone and was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Hong Ye said blankly: "Three days have already passed. It's now the fourth day!"

The group was also stunned and took out their phones to check.

Sure enough, when they entered, it was October 14th, and now it was already October 18th!

"Damn, time passed way too fast. Could it be that there's a problem with the time flow in that place?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "There is no problem with the time in that place. The one with the problem is likely Aoun. It's very possible that he controlled the flow of time."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you notice one thing?"

"What?"

Ye Chen said: "That is, the information from when the world changed said that all resources are renewable, but they need time to grow."

"That's right! But what does that have to do with this?"

"Of course. Lord Oen didn't care about those things in the Immortal Cave, but some of those items are Materials needed for forging. He himself is a person extremely obsessed with forging; how could he be indifferent to those items? Since that's the case, there is only one possibility: he can control the time flow inside his Immortal Cave. He can slow it down or speed it up! Therefore, he can freely control the growth of those items!" Ye Chen explained.

"You mean he possesses the power to control time?"

"Yes, but he can only control the time in the space he is in. That Immortal Cave is equivalent to another space!"

"How is that possible! That's too absurd!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Of course, this is just a guess of mine. It's also possible that we didn't pay attention to the passage of time, causing us to have an illusion."

"Mm, that is quite possible!"

Hong Ye patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and said: "Alright, let's hurry up and acquire resources. Three days have already passed. Perhaps others have already obtained more resources!"

That was true; they certainly weren't the only team with good luck.

Maybe someone really encountered a treasure vault and obtained even better things!

The group moved quickly, searching for resources everywhere.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, just after the group killed an LV40 monster, they encountered an LV52 monster.

The LV52 monster launched an attack on the six of them the moment it saw them.

Under Hong Ye's instruction, the six of them scattered and fled.

The six of them scattered and escaped just like that.

Ye Chen arrived at a lake and sent a message in the group chat, asking for the locations of the others.
