After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Looking at the gate of light before him, Ye Chen was utterly shocked.

This is not something an ordinary person could create; it's more like the work of legendary immortals.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this the Ye family's foundation?"

"Rumble..."

The stone door closed automatically after the grandfather and grandson entered.

Just as Ye Chen was about to ask his grandfather what was going on with that door, an even deeper look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Behind the stone gate was a passage, at the end of which was a huge natural cave. Even with Ye Chen's eyesight, he could hardly see the end of the passage from the edge.

To be more precise, it was entirely an underground world.

This vast underground world has mountains and rivers, and he could even sense that many birds and beasts live in it.

"Shocking, isn't it? I was even more clueless than you when I first came here."

Ye Tianfeng, holding the torch, chuckled, quite satisfied with Ye Chen's performance.

The grandfather and grandson walked down a long staircase, and Ye Chen could no longer hold back.

"Grandpa, I never imagined that there was an underground world hidden beneath the Ye family's residence. Why didn't you and the rest of the family tell me about it before?"

"Ugh!"

Ye Tianfeng sighed, "I was going to tell you five years ago, but you were suddenly poisoned and became mentally impaired. You wouldn't have understood even if I told you then."

Without waiting for Ye Chen to ask any further questions, he continued speaking on his own.

"This underground world was discovered by the Ye family ancestor a hundred years ago. At that time, there was a glowing skeleton on that mountain."

According to the ancestors' speculation, this should be the immortal's cave dwelling, and also the place where he passed away.

"At that time, the outside world was in a period of warlordism and chaos. Our ancestors settled here, multiplied and thrived, and continued to explore."

At that time, there were still many elixirs in this cave. Relying on these elixirs and the martial arts techniques found on the cliff, the Ye family produced many martial arts experts...

Ye Chen was more familiar with the rest of the story.

The ten masters of the Ye family suddenly appeared and quickly assembled a powerful force to join the fight against the invaders.

In the end, seven of the ten masters died in battle, but they also drove away the invaders, thus establishing the Ye family as the number one war god family.

As Ye Chen walked, he suddenly heard shouts coming from not far away.

"Grandpa, is someone here?"

"That's right. Our ancestors foresaw that the Ye family would one day become too powerful and arouse jealousy, so they had some of the clansmen move here to live."

At the same time, some elite assassins belonging exclusively to the Ye family will be selected from the Azure Dragon War Zone and secretly trained here.

"To ensure the continuation of the family line, the Ye family members on both sides rarely interact, and only the Ye family patriarch knows the full story."

As the two were talking, they arrived at an ancient mansion at the foot of a mountain.

More and more people gradually gathered around.

"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Young Master."

Everyone they met on the road greeted them respectfully.

As Ye Chen pushed open the gate of the mansion, his breath hitched.

Eight graceful women, each with exceptional beauty and dressed in ancient attire, bowed to him in unison.

"Greetings, young master."

"Grandpa, this...this is..."

Ye Tianfeng chuckled, "How about it? These are the eight elite assassins I specially selected for you. Do you like them?"

He then addressed the eight women.

"Come here, all of you, let me take a look at this strange grandson of yours."

Upon hearing this, eight stunningly beautiful women immediately smiled and ran towards Ye Chen, making him feel an urge to turn around and run away.

Who can withstand this?

"Wow, young master is so handsome."

"Look at his eyelashes, they're so long, and his nose..."

Ye Chen, who was being watched like a gorilla, looked at Ye Tianfeng with a helpless expression.

"Grandpa, what exactly can they do?"

Ye Tianfeng snorted coldly, "Don't look down on them. Don't be fooled by their appearance, they are all Foundation Establishment Grandmasters, and they are absolutely loyal to you."

As for what they can do... hehe, they'll execute your orders unconditionally; how you use them is up to you.

"It's really good."

Ye Chen nodded slightly. With these eight experts, he was more confident in dealing with Blood Shadow's attack tonight.

In case they manage to bring in a Golden Core stage expert, the eight maids can just make up for the Ye family's lack of high-end combat power.

Watching Ye Chen talk with the eight maids, Ye Tianfeng sighed inwardly.

"Good grandson, don't blame your grandfather. Actually, these eight maids were left to you by your mother. But she said before she left that she couldn't tell you the truth that she was still alive until you reached the Nascent Soul stage."

After getting a general understanding of the eight maids, Ye Chen memorized their names and some basic information, and then followed Ye Tianfeng to continue up the mountain.

As Ye Tianfeng explained things along the way, Ye Chen finally learned about the Ye family's century-old heritage.

Over the past century, the Ye family ancestors have cultivated hundreds of medicinal fields of varying sizes on the mountain, planting precious medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

Most of these medicinal herbs were collected by members of the Ye family, with the oldest being over a hundred years old.

Herbs from this year can fetch astronomical prices on the market.

However, the most precious medicinal herbs grew in this underground world before the Ye family ancestors discovered them.

According to Ye Tianfeng, the oldest ginseng is six or seven hundred years old and is about to transform into human form.

Ye Chen absorbed less than half of the energy from the two relics, so he still doesn't lack cultivation resources.

After passing through fields of medicinal herbs, they were finally nearing the summit.

Ye Chen had already noticed a bright light on the mountaintop, which stood out starkly in the dim underground world.

"These...are the remains of that immortal?"

When Ye Chen finally reached the top of the mountain and saw the golden skeleton sitting cross-legged, his shock reached its peak.

Just that skeleton gave him a powerful sense of oppression, making it somewhat difficult to approach.

I can't imagine what a terrifying being its owner must have been in life. He could probably split mountains and shatter rocks, and overturn rivers and seas without batting an eye.

"Both of these immortal relics contain immense energy. If I absorb the energy from these golden bones, what level will I reach?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but ponder this in his heart.

Of course, he was just thinking about it. What truly restricted his martial arts strength was the extremely yang fire within his body.

He had a premonition that the day he tamed that flame would be the day his martial arts realm would advance by leaps and bounds.

"Catch it, open it."

Just as he was thinking about these random things, Ye Tianfeng, who was next to him, suddenly threw a large rock at him.

Ye Chen flicked his energy and caught it steadily.

"No, there's something inside this rock."

A thought flickered in his mind, and with a quick rub of his hands, a bead radiating golden light fell out amidst a flurry of stone chips.

"Could this be the legendary Dragon Ball?"

Ye Tianfeng nodded. "Good grandson, have you ever heard the saying, 'He who obtains the dragon's energy will rule the world'? This bead is used to store the dragon's energy."

Upon hearing his explanation, Ye Chen held up the bead in his hand to examine it closely.

The bead was extremely bright, and although it was very light, it gave him a sense of grandeur and weight, making it seem very magical.

Even more amazingly, after observing for a while, Ye Chen suddenly discovered that there was something else inside the Dragon Ball.
