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?”
