Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

Gu Ye's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at him with a playful gaze: "Alright, then I'll wait and see. Don't complain about being tired or your legs going weak later."

"Start grinding!" Gu Ye stopped joking and announced in a serious tone.

Yan Dinghan strode to the millstone, gripped the mill handle tightly with both hands, his expression solemn, ready to exert force.

Gu Ye picked up the soaked soybeans and put them into the millstone hole little by little, while slowly adding water. His movements were skillful and calm.

"Go!" Gu Ye gave the order, and Yan Dinghan immediately gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength. His muscles tensed up, his face turned red, and he used all his strength to barely shake the millstone.

The graphite slowly began to rotate. Gu Ye was quite satisfied with its speed. The secret to grinding soybeans for soy milk is:

Use less soybeans, add water frequently, and grind slowly to make a finer paste.

Yan Dinghan's speed was just right, resulting in white and thick raw soy milk.

Luo Yueyao walked forward curiously, looking at the slowly turning stone mill, and asked Gu Ye in confusion:

"Why is he pushing so slowly? With his strength, he shouldn't be struggling like this."

Gu Ye slowly and methodically put the soybeans in and explained:

As Gu Ye slowly and methodically put soybeans and added water into the millstone, he patiently explained:

"This stone mill is no ordinary tool; it is a rare and precious material."

When grinding soybeans, the card master pushing the millstone has their spiritual energy temporarily sealed, relying solely on their physical strength to propel it. The millstone, in turn, nourishes and tempers the card master's body, enhancing their physical attributes.

No wonder Gu Ye said everyone would get a share; it turns out this stone mill is a treasure that can temper the physical body! For a battle card master, physical strength is of paramount importance, and this stone mill is more practical than any cultivation resource.

Compared to the legendary and ethereal [Spirit Sealing Cauldron], the stone mill in front of them, which could actually enhance one's strength, was clearly more attractive.

Luo Yuerao and the others looked at Shi Mo with curiosity, but without any greed.

Gu Ye explained this to them because he wasn't afraid they would become greedy; his strength was there, and he had the confidence to back it up.

Half an hour later, Yan Dinghan could no longer hold on. His legs went weak, he was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily. Only after his desperate pleas did Gu Ye put him down and let Chang Qi take his place.

For the next two hours, the group took turns performing.

Yan Dinghan, Chang Qi, Chang Guan, and even Luo Yuerao couldn't help but step forward to try. Everyone gave it their all, exhausted, but they could all clearly feel their physical strength increasing little by little.

It wasn't until sunset that the group finally managed to grind all the soybeans in the bowl into a thick soy milk.

When they stopped to rest, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their physical fitness had improved by at least a quarter.

It's easy to imagine that this is only the effect of the stone mill in its basic state. If it were restored to its full power, its power would be even more astonishing.

Afterwards, Gu Ye led a few people to complete a series of steps, including shaking the soy milk, boiling the soy milk, adding tofu, and pressing tofu, and each step was done in an orderly manner.

Four whole hours, from grinding the pulp to shaping, finally produced fresh blocks of white, tender, and fragrant tofu.

Gu Ye packed all the formed tofu into a storage card.

He led the group toward the vegetable market.

Upon arriving at the market, it was still bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares. Luo Yuerao, familiar with the area, led the way, saying, "I know where Grandma's stall is; it's at the very back of the market."

But just as they approached the stall, a fierce shout reached their ears:

"You old geezer, hand over the money you made selling tofu! Or I'll beat you to death today!"

Gu Ye and the others' faces darkened, and they quickly stepped forward. In front of the old woman's tofu stall, a grotesque creature covered in pustules and emitting a foul stench was punching and kicking the old woman.

The old woman was too old to resist and could only curl up on the ground, holding her head in her hands and groaning in pain. Her clothes were torn to shreds and her face was covered with obvious wounds.

The surrounding villagers and card masters all watched coldly, no one daring to step forward to stop them, but their eyes all carried a clear hint of surprise.

The village has clear rules prohibiting fighting, but this strange creature not only injured people in public but also went unpunished, which is extremely abnormal.

"stop!"

Seeing this, Luo Yuerao trembled with anger. She rushed forward and used all her strength to push away the monster. She quickly squatted down, carefully helped the old woman up, and gently patted the dust off her body. Her tone was full of heartache and anger.

She glared angrily at the monster and demanded:

"Who are you? What gives you the right to hit an old lady?"

The monster was pushed off balance by Luo Yuerao. After regaining its footing, a ferocious smile appeared on its face. The pustules all over its body writhed slightly with anger, emitting an even stronger stench.

It stared intently at Luo Yuerao, its tone sinister: "Where did this little brat come from, daring to meddle in my business? If this old geezer doesn't hand over all his money today, you're all dead."

Before the words were finished, the monster suddenly threw a punch, its fist enveloped in dark, eerie energy, carrying a chilling aura, and aimed straight at Luo Yuerao's chest.

It didn't take this seemingly weak little girl seriously at all, and wanted to finish her off with one punch.

Luo Yuerao's expression hardened. Without thinking, she immediately dodged to the side and raised her hand to gather spiritual energy. A long whip appeared and collided with the monster's fist.

With a muffled bang, spiritual energy and eerie energy collided violently. Luo Yueyao was shaken and took three steps back, her arm going numb. The eerie creature was also shaken and took a step back, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes. It was clear that it had not expected Luo Yueyao's strength to be so great.

"He's got some skill, but it's not enough!"

The monster sneered, its figure flashed, and it pounced on Luo Yueyao again. Its hands grew three inches longer, its nails gleaming with a cold, black light, aiming straight for Luo Yueyao's neck, each move deadly.

Gu Ye's eyes turned cold, and he was about to step forward to help when Yan Dinghan rushed out first, shouting:

"You dare bully my sister Luo? You're asking for death!" He channeled his spiritual energy, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into the monster's back with tremendous force.

Sensing the attack from behind, the monster whirled around and swung out a palm to block. With a "crack," Yan Dinghan's fist collided with the monster's palm.

He felt a sharp pain in his arm and couldn't help but groan, but he still didn't back down and gritted his teeth to exert force again.

Chang Qi and Chang Guan immediately stepped forward, took out their weapons, and worked together seamlessly, attacking the monster from the left and right. Although they were not very strong, they were able to barely restrain the monster's movements.

In an instant, psionic energy and eerie aura clashed and intertwined beside the market stalls, with sounds of fighting, shouting, and breaking objects all mixed together.

"What's going on? Why are they allowed to fight each other without being punished according to village rules?"

The villagers looked puzzled, but no one dared to try and find out why, so they just watched as the group made their move.
