Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Miss Zhu, have you heard of a place called Ghost Prison?” Ye Chen asked out of blue.”

Screech!

Zhu Ya suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car grinded to a halt.

Her eyes stared at Ye Chen curiously, as her chest heaved nervously.

“Mr. Ye, why did you suddenly ask this question?”

Zhu Ya’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Ye Chen was delighted. She knew something about it!

“Miss Zhu, Ghost Prison is very important to me. If you know anything, please tell me!”

Ye Chen immediately grabbed Zhu Ya’s wrist.

Zhu Ya could feel the excitement in Ye Chen’s tone. After thinking about it for a moment, she said, “There are countless ancient martial arts experts imprisoned in the Ghost Prison.”

Ye Chen’s expression became extremely serious and the veins on his arms were bulging.

Why did those people lock up his parents there?

His parents were not martial artists. They were just ordinary people!

Embers of fury ignited within his heart, and his aura started to surge.

“Miss Zhu, do you know where this place is?”

Zhu Ya naturally guessed that only one thing could get Ye Chen so worked up and asked, “Mr. Ye, is this matter related to the Cloud Lake Manor incident back then?”

There was no need for Ye Chen to hide anything, so he nodded.

“Mr. Ye, the word ‘ghost’ in its name is because no one knows where it is. I even suspect that this place changes location somehow, but according to some information I received, it should be underground,” Zhu Ya said.

“Underground? This doesn’t narrow the scope. 1 want to know the exact location. If Miss Zhu knows anything that can help me, please tell me,” Ye Chen calmed down and said seriously.

Zhu Ya pondered for a few seconds and replied, “I only know a little about this place, but I know someone who has been there before. If you can convince him to talk, there might be a chance you can get more information.”

“Who is it?”

Zhu Ya took out an invitation card from her bag, on which was written the word “medicine” in traditional script.

“Xiang Chengdong of the Medicine Alliance!”

Ye Chen took the invitation letter and glanced at it. He noticed that his name was written on it, which meant that this invitation was meant for him.

Zhu Ya explained, “Mr. Ye, I came to see you today to deliver this invitation. The day after tomorrow, Xiang Chengdong will be holding a banquet in Medicine King Valley to allow everyone to witness the birth of a pill. They not only invited me, but also invited Mr. Ye.”

“Medicine Alliance?”

“That’s right!”

“Mr. Ye, you should know that medicinal pills are extremely scarce in Huaxia, and there are very few alchemists. The Medicine Alliance is focused on medicinal herbs and medicinal pills. They have been studying ancient alchemy methods in the hope of refining medicinal pills. In recent days, a top-notch alchemist in the Medicine Alliance has developed a set of medicinal pill refining methods that can refine third-grade medicinal pills.”

“Once the pill is completed, the services of the Medicine Alliance would definitely be wanted by countless factions.”

“Xiang Chengdong’s status would also rise, so this is the best opportunity for Xiang Chengdong to show off his capabilities in front of countless experts.”

Ye Chen’s expression was a little strange.

Back when he was auctioning pills in River City, he realized that pills were rare in Huaxia. Otherwise, those people would not have fought over them like crazy.

Now, it seemed that there were not many people in Huaxia who could refine pills. A mere third-grade medicinal pill was something that countless major factions desired?

He could even refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill now. In that case, would his skills not dazzle everyone?

Also, what was the relationship between the Medicine Alliance and that place?

As if reading his mind, Zhu Ya continued, “Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but Xiang Chengdong is not only a member of the Medicine Alliance, but he’s also a divine doctor. Three people were on the verge of death in that place, and it was Xiang Chengdong who saved them. If he doesn’t know where that place is, then no one does.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen decided to accept the invitation and said, “Alright, 1’11 go there with you on that day.”

No matter what, Xiang Chengdong was his only clue to that place.

Since the other party liked medicinal pills, he would refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill in advance and give it to him. He believed that the pili would be enough to get the other party to spill the beans.

A smile bloomed on Zhu Ya’s face. She had been worrying about how to convince Ye Chen to go, but it seemed that the situation had resolved itself quite easily.

If Mr. Ye went with her, the Zhu family would not lose their dignity like the previous few times.

Most importantly, Ye Chen’s martial arts were overbearingly powerful. It would be to the Zhu family’s benefit if they managed to become one of his trusted allies..
