The rain swirled and sprinkled on the emerald green bamboo leaves, like a young girl caressing the strings of a zither, relaxed and happy.

Ye Zichen bid his farewells to Bai Xi Ya and the others, then rode his Ferghana Horse, which was given to him by the Bai family and was worth tens of thousands of silver taels, as he hurried towards the core of the authority in the Kingdom of Zi Jin.

After travelling for more than half a day, he arrived outside the Emperor's City at dusk.

"Spiritual medicine to replenish one's lifeblood is too rare. In the past year, even the Imperial City Auction House didn't sell any medicinal medicine to replenish one's lifeblood."

The shopkeeper wearing a white robe and gold-rimmed glasses said coldly.

"Manager, I really need spirit medicine to replenish my lifeblood. As long as you can provide me a way to buy it, I'll surely reward you handsomely." Ye Zichen took out a note that was worth a thousand taels of silver and quietly handed it over to the shop owner.

"En, alright. Seeing that you're still sensible, I'll reveal a piece of news to you." The shopkeeper stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves without leaving a trace and said, "A few days ago, the Ji family offered a bounty for famous doctors from all over the country to treat Patriarch Ji's illness. Amongst those bounties, there was a precious thousand year old Blood Ginseng King."

"Thousand Year Blood Ginseng King!"

Ye Chenfeng had once checked through ancient books and knew that blood ginseng was definitely a sacred medicine that could replenish one's Qi and blood. Furthermore, the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King was one of the best holy medicines available, so if he could obtain that thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King, his strength would greatly increase.

"However, master Ji's injuries are very serious. Even the several imperial doctors in the Imperial City were helpless against it. So, whether or not you can get the Ji family's bounty will depend on your ability." The manager said.

"Thank you for telling me."

After receiving the important news, Ye Chenfeng did not stay for long, he got up and left the Myriad Treasures Store.

"Ji Clan!"

Although Ye Zichen did not want to step into the Ji family, nor did he want to have anything to do with Ji Qingxue, he was determined to get the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King. If he could get the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King, his strength would at least double.

Once he entered the Sky Fire Martial House, he would be able to obtain even more cultivation resources.

On the morning of the next day, Ye Chenfeng walked under the morning sunlight to the Ji Mansion located in the northwest of the Imperial City.

"The Ji Clan is truly worthy of being one of the three great clans of the Kingdom of Zi Jin. Their bounty actually attracted so many doctors."

When Ye Zichen arrived at the old house in the Ji family that had experienced many vicissitudes of life, he discovered that there were many doctors gathered at the entrance, and they were currently undergoing the Ji family's strict examination.

Only by passing the examination would they be qualified to step into the Ji Clan's old house and help heal the Ji Clan's clan head, Ji Yan.

Due to the Ji Clan's strict examination, nearly 90% of the physicians were unable to pass the examination. Thus, the Ji Clan blocked their path, thus arousing their displeasure.

However, when they thought of the Ji Clan's extraordinary status in the Kingdom of Zi Jin, they could only grumble and leave.

"Sir, you also saw the bounty, so you came to treat the Ji Clan's Clan Head, right?"

When it was Ye Chenfeng's turn, an old man with white hair and a warm smile looked at Ye Chenfeng, who had a youthful aura, and asked.

"En!" Ye Zichen nodded. His face, which was wearing a human skin mask, was expressionless.

"I'm sorry, but the doctors recruited by our Ji Clan must have more than thirty years of experience. Judging from your age, you should not even be thirty years old."

"The experience of practicing medicine doesn't mean everything. Everything depends on strength. If you miss me, you might miss your final chance to save Patriarch Ji." Ye Chenfeng said calmly, his domineering words caused the white-haired old man to frown slightly.

"My apologies, but we are unable to take the life of the Patriarch. Please return." After thinking for a while, the white-haired old man still refused Ye Zichen and did not allow him to enter.

"If I remember correctly, not long ago, your young miss Ji made a trip to White Emperor City. She wanted to invite back the divine doctor that treated the Old Master's illness."

Seeing that the white-haired elder had refused, Ye Chenfeng did not get angry, and instead said plainly.

For the sake of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King, Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to risk revealing his other identity. However, he had already persuaded the Bai Clan to help him keep his identity a secret, so as to not be afraid of the Bai Clan betraying him.

"Could it be that you are that genius doctor?" The white-haired elder raised his eyebrows, and the way he looked at Ye Chenfeng had a huge change.

The white-haired old man had once heard from Ji Qing Xue that the genius doctor that healed Mount Bai was extremely young. Coupled with the fact that very few people knew about this, he had basically guessed Ye Zichen's identity.

"I was the one who cured the Old Master's illness." Ye Chenfeng said indifferently.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit slow just now, I hope you don't mind, Godly Doctor. May I know Godly Doctor's surname?"

"My surname is Chen."

"Please go inside Divine Doctor Chen."

The white-haired elder bowed slightly and said apologetically as he personally led Ye Chenfeng into the ancient Ji Clan's residence.

As he walked on the winding gravel path, Ye Zichen's sharp senses detected that there were quite a few experts hidden in the shadows of the old house, and among these experts, there were even some formidable magical beasts masters.

"Why is the security in the Ji Clan so tight? Could something big have happened?" Through the Ji Clan's vigilance, Ye Chen felt a trace of an unusual aura.

"Ji Qing Xue."

Ye Chenfeng followed the white-haired old man through a sea of emerald green bamboo and arrived at a luxurious hall. When Ye Chenfeng looked at the hall that was filled with cloud patterns, he saw Ji Qingxue, who was wearing a long emerald colored dress with an elegant demeanor.

At this moment, she was standing beside her father, Ji Yunyou. Her brows were furrowed as she thought about something.

Ye Zichen moved his gaze away from Ji Qingxue and walked into the noisy hall expressionlessly.

When the highly respected doctors in the hall saw the young Ye Chenfeng, they all revealed a look of surprise, causing the noise in the hall to stop.
