I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 985 - 984: Punishment

Upon hearing, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright then, I'll be leaving first!"

Ye Chen had nothing to say; he wasn't interested in wasting his breath since these things weren't something he could decide to pursue on a whim.

Immediately, Ye Chen headed towards the gates of Tianhai Academy.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a voice that was old suddenly rang out, followed by the sight of an elder wearing a green robe walking over slowly.

"This is my disciple-grandchild; you're not allowed to stop him!" the green-robed elder said coldly.

"What! Your disciple-grandchild?" Upon hearing this, the faces of the two guarding cultivators changed instantly.

This elder was a member of the Tianhai Academy's elder council, though advanced in age, his cultivation was by no means weaker than the young generation of cultivators!

Tianhai Academy is a place dedicated to training disciples. Some elders there have undergone millennia of tempering, and their cultivation level has long reached the Golden Core Stage.

And within that, there is a peak known as Tianhai Peak, an excellent place for cultivation. However, the resources on Tianhai Peak are immensely rich, so many disciples enter from there.

But this elder was an exception; he was once a loose cultivator, and due to his astonishing talent in cultivation, he became a member of Tianhai Academy, selected as an elder!

On Tianhai Peak, resources are abundant, with countless spiritual medicines and treasures. The elder practiced there for nearly a century, achieving rapid progress in cultivation.

However, just a few days ago, while cultivating at a crucial moment in a cave on Tianhai Peak, he suddenly felt an ominous wind pass by, followed by a terrifying aura surging towards him.

At that time, he sensed that something was amiss, but before he could react, he was suppressed by the horrifying pressure, almost losing consciousness.

"Elder, are you alright?" The two cultivators quickly walked over, supporting the elder and asking.

The elder waved his hand and then took a deep breath, saying, "I'm fine, just feeling weak!"

Saying that, the elder's gaze fell on Ye Chen.

"Who are you?" the elder asked.

"Junior Ye Chen, here to seek some unique cultivation methods and cultivation secret manuals!" Ye Chen quickly said respectfully.

Ye Chen didn't recognize the elder, but judging by his demeanor, it seemed he was not someone simple, so Ye Chen didn't want to offend such a strong person. Yet, Ye Chen was secretly wondering if there would be any special conditions at Tianhai Academy.

"So you are Ye Chen!" the elder nodded, "I don't know what cultivation methods and cultivation secret manuals you are looking for, can you tell me?"

"I wish to know what kind of cultivation methods and cultivation secret manuals I need, can you provide them for me?"

Upon hearing this, the elder shook his head, "These things are not casually given out!"

Ye Chen slightly furrowed his brow, it seemed like acquiring those divine-level techniques and cultivation secret manuals would be somewhat challenging!

"Then, can you take me on a tour?"

"Okay, but you must leave your name, then I can arrange for you to enter Tianhai Academy!" the elder said indifferently.

"Alright!"

Ye Chen did not refuse and promptly reported his name.

Once the elder heard Ye Chen's name, he nodded and then directed the two cultivators, "Take him inside!"

"Yes, Elder!"

The two cultivators nodded and then gestured to Ye Chen, indicating for him to follow inside.

Ye Chen followed one of the cultivators through the gates of Tianhai City. The gate of Tianhai City was sturdier than those of ordinary small towns' city walls, yet it couldn't block Ye Chen's footsteps.

Inside Tianhai City, the construction was very prosperous. On both sides of the streets, shops were lined up, and the shopkeepers' cultivation levels were generally above the Golden Core Realm, which made Ye Chen secretly gasp.

Indeed, it's a place for cultivators, any random shop owned by cultivators above the Golden Core Realm.

Ye Chen noticed that some cultivators wearing daoist robes, wielding magic artifacts, were standing behind other cultivators, pointing and discussing things among themselves.

At this moment, Ye Chen noticed that not far away, there was a group of men in red clothing, each showing arrogant expressions, shouting and boasting over there, appearing very conceited.

"Ye Chen, here, we can purchase things. Whether it's cultivation materials or magic artifacts and potions, they're all worth a fortune, you'd better take a close look!"

One of the red-clothed men shouted at Ye Chen.

Upon hearing, Ye Chen nodded, knowing that those cultivation materials and magic artifacts were usually controlled by cultivators, while potions were self-refined by cultivators.

However, the refining of potions also has a very high success rate. Generally speaking, those who refine potions are loose cultivators with high cultivation and strong prowess, their alchemy skills are exceedingly remarkable. Should a cultivator fancy these potions, they would be sold, and at an exceptionally high price!

Thus, looking at the potions in their hands, Ye Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Nonetheless, Ye Chen also knew such things were obtainable at a steep price but rare in availability.

"What do you want to buy?" the elder asked.

"Junior wishes to practice alchemy!"

"Alchemy? You know alchemy?" the elder seemed surprised.

Ye Chen chuckled bitterly, as he didn't understand alchemy at all, but to avoid revealing his true identity, he could only pretend, nodding and said, "Yes, precisely, I once read an alchemy record in ancient texts, alchemy is quite prevalent in the cultivation world, but it's hard to learn!"

Upon hearing this, the elder's eyes lit up, looking at Ye Chen and said, "Not bad, it seems you have some skills in alchemy. How about I entrust the art of alchemy to you, would you be willing?"

Although the elder was an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm, his cultivation experience and knowledge were evidently inferior to Ye Chen's. Naturally, he wouldn't believe Ye Chen's words easily.

Upon hearing, Ye Chen was taken aback momentarily, then said, "Thank you, Elder!"

"Haha, you're called Ye Chen? That's a fine name!"

Saying that, the elder handed a Jade Pendant to Ye Chen.

This Jade Pendant was entirely pristine white, sparkling clear, clearly a good thing!

"This is the VIP token of our Tianhai Academy. With it, you will have smooth passage, and you can even exempt all cultivation resources!"

Upon hearing that, Ye Chen was secretly delighted and promptly accepted the Jade Pendant.

This VIP token seems to be extremely valuable, presumably owned by some core students of Tianhai Academy, very precious, and periodically exchanged for many cultivation resources.

Moreover, Tianhai Academy members reward those potential disciples generously!

Ye Chen received the token and saluted the elder with fists clasped, "Thanks to the Elder, then I shall take my leave!"

"Mm, go ahead!" the elder nodded.

Ye Chen turned and left the shop.

At this moment, Ye Chen's face bore a hint of a cold smile; his identity had been exposed, and thereafter, presumably, trouble would soon find him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Moreover, those so-called big figures would also appear here.

These people are no easy marks, and many have long coveted him!
