Jiang Chen puzzledly asked, "Me? Taboo? Medicine Saint, could you please clarify?"

"What's the rush? Can't an old man catch his breath?" Medicine Saint gave Jiang Chen a glance.

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, closed his mouth, and quietly waited.

Through their interaction over this period, Jiang Chen had come to understand Medicine Saint's temperament. He was like an old child, and just like Fu Ling'er, both were truly unique.

"Fine, the old man will benevolently enlighten you then."

Seeing that Jiang Chen was no longer pressing the issue, Medicine Saint suddenly felt a bit dispirited, waved his hand, and continued, "There is only one type of Martial Artist who doesn't attract Xiang Yun when breaking through to become an Innate Grandmaster, and only they can attract six or even seven-colored Xiang Yun during their breakthrough to become a Venerable. That is the Ancient Martial Artist who cultivates Ancient Martial Arts, and the Cultivation Technique you practice must be Ancient Martial Arts."

"Ancient Martial Arts? Aren't all the Martial Arts we practice considered 'ancient'?" Jiang Chen still didn't quite understand.

Medicine Saint glared at Jiang Chen; "Can you let me finish? Are you talking or am I talking?"

"Alright, alright, you speak, you speak," Jiang Chen said with a face full of appeasement.

"You really are something, always interrupting when you don't know anything," Medicine Saint complained.

Jiang Chen laughed helplessly and once again waited in silence, knowing that Medicine Saint couldn't hold back.

"Ahem! To talk about the difference between Ancient Martial Arts and just 'ancient' Martial Arts, we have to trace back to the antiquities..." Medicine Saint took up a stance, ready to give a lengthy discourse.

But at this moment, Fu Ling'er suddenly interrupted, "Brother Jiang Chen, let me tell you. In ancient times, there was an emperor who did something later generations called the burning of books and burying of scholars.

In fact, what the emperor did back then was also to weaken the power of Martial Artists. He didn't just kill scholars but also rounded up and destroyed the Martial Arts manuals from various Sects.

Therefore, most of the Martial Arts that have been passed down to this day are incomplete; 'Ancient Martial Arts' refers to the Martial Arts that existed before that emperor's time, while the term 'ancient' refers to the remnants that have been passed down since the burning."

Medicine Saint, unhappy at being interrupted, turned and glared at Fu Ling'er, "You little brat, interrupting again?"

Fu Ling'er pouted and said impatiently, "Grandpa, every time you tell this story, you go on and on. My ears have already grown calluses from your nagging; I don't want Brother Jiang Chen's ears to suffer the same fate."

"You... you... you... How can you side with an outsider and not your grandpa?" Medicine Saint huffed, glaring at Fu Ling'er.

Fu Ling'er stuck out her tongue playfully and then turned her head to smile sweetly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head with amusement and paid no more attention to the lively grandfather-granddaughter duo. He glanced at Qiu Boyuan, who was about to finish his breakthrough, and sunk into contemplation.

There are still so many wonderful things in this world that I don't know about.

Venerable, Saint, interesting. It seems I need to work even harder!

In Dingjing, at Dingyun Lake Villa.

Wuu wuu...

The mighty roaring of a Knight fifteenth generation resounded at the gate. Following behind the Knight fifteenth generation was a van.

Screech!

Clack clack!

The two vehicles drove into the yard and stopped. The car doors opened, and Jiang Chen, Medicine Saint, and Fu Ling'er got out.

After Qiu Boyuan had finished his breakthrough, Jiang Chen asked Yan Hu to drive a van to the valley and also allowed Yan Hu to achieve a breakthrough to the level of Innate Grandmaster. They then transported back all the Medicine Saint's treasured collections. After entering the urban area, Qiu Boyuan got out of the car and went back to the Martial Alliance Branch on his own.

"Young Master!" Upon seeing Jiang Chen, An Long, who was at the door, stepped forward and gave a salute.

Jiang Chen nodded and then turned to Yan Hu who had just gotten out of the van, "Hu Zi, you know how important the things in the van are. You must keep them safe and sound."

"Yes!" Yan Hu nodded solemnly, letting out a sigh of relief in his heart—finally back!

When he had arrived at the valley and saw the Medicine Saint's collection of Spiritual Medicines, he was truly taken aback. Driving the van on the road, his palms were constantly sweating, fearing that a single jolt would damage any of the precious herbs inside the vehicle. Even a seasoned Innate Grandmaster like him was nervous enough to sweat, which showed the immense value of these medicinal herbs.

After giving his instructions, Jiang Chen entered the villa with the Medicine Saint and Fu Ling'er.

"Jiang Chen, you're back!" A joyful shout rang out as he entered the house.

In the villa, Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn were in the living room, organizing some documents.

"What are you guys doing?" Jiang Chen walked over, puzzled.

"You sure know how to throw your weight around as a hands-off boss," Yè Yùwǎn gave Jiang Chen a disdainful glance and complained, "Now that Yi Chen has expanded so much, Gong Lin, President Zhou, President Lin, President Wang, and I have all been run off our feet, and you, the boss, disappear for half a month without a trace!"

Jiang Chen gave a sheepish smile. On this matter, he had indeed been remiss, but the thought of staying in an office all day looking over documents was less appealing to him than fighting another Innate Grandmaster.

"And these two are..." Gong Lin glanced at the two newcomers brought by Jiang Chen and asked softly.

Jiang Chen gestured with his hand and introduced, "This is Medicine Saint, a senior, and this is his granddaughter, Fu Ling'er."

"Senior, Ling'er, these two are..." Jiang Chen then turned and introduced Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn to the Medicine Saint and his granddaughter.

"Sister Gong Lin, Sister Yùwǎn, hello," Fu Ling'er greeted them sweetly.

The Medicine Saint also nodded at them.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Chen turned to Gong Lin, "Lin Lin, please make arrangements. Medicine Saint and Ling'er will be living here from now on."

"Oh, sure!" Gong Lin nodded and stood up to make arrangements.

The Dingyun Lake Villa consisted of three villas arranged in a '品' shape. Usually, Yan Hu and his colleagues stayed in the villa closest to the entrance, Jiang Chen's group lived in the villa to the east at the back, and the villa to the west at the back had always been vacant. Now that Medicine Saint and Fu Ling'er had arrived, it was perfect for them.

After arranging the living quarters, Jiang Chen left the villa, took a large wooden box out of the car, and went to the storeroom. Yan Hu, An Hu, and An Long were busy unloading medicinal materials into the storeroom, with Yan Hu constantly muttering, "Be careful, gently, be careful..."

"An Long." Jiang Chen approached the storeroom and called out softly.

"Young Master!" An Long and the others approached Jiang Chen.

Seeing Yan Hu, who was sweating profusely, Jiang Chen said with amusement, "Hu Zi, for a grand Innate Grandmaster like yourself to be sweating so much from nervousness seems a bit much, doesn't it?"

"Young Master, if any of these medicinal materials you brought back were damaged, even selling me wouldn't be enough to cover the loss!" Yan Hu replied with a wry smile.

Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing further. Yan Hu's words were an exaggeration, but the medicinal materials really were invaluable, so being extra cautious was warranted.

Putting that aside, Jiang Chen handed the wooden box to An Long and instructed solemnly, "This is the Elixir for Xuan Long and the others. Once you finish up here, set out immediately to find them.

Remember, I want to remind Xuan Long once again that only Gong Lin and I know you guys exist. You must not let anyone else find out, nor should you contact anyone else. You will be a very important secret chess piece for me in the future, understand?"
