After five minutes, the bell rang.

Ye Chen knew that the medicinal herbs had arrived.

As soon as he had opened the door, he noticed that there were a few people standing outside the hallway.

They were not the typical porters one would expect. Instead, two of them were old people while one was a young lady.

The three of them were holding bunches of medicinal herbs in their hands; there were more of them splayed out on the ground in an orderly manner.

Ye Chen knew two of them; they were Zhu Rende and his granddaughter, Zhu Zixuan.

As for the other old man, he did not recognize him. However, he could sense that he was the same type of person as him.

“Old Zhu, don’t tell me that Virtuous Benevolence Hall couldn’t even send a worker to come over. Why did you guys come all the way here?” Ye Che asked amusingly.

Old Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Ye, we didn’t want to bother you at first, but we were worried that the workers would not be careful with the medicinal herbs and damage them accidentally. Therefore, I personally brought Zi Xuan and a close friend of mine to come over… If we’re troubling you, please forgive us.”

“Come on in.”

Ye Chen invited the three of them into his house.

The three of them carefully placed the medicinal herbs on a circular table in the living room.

Even though the three of them were part of the same world, they were slightly astonished after seeing the grandiose and opulent decor of the house.

The penthouses in Great Tomson had prices that not any Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry could afford. Its prices were scarier than some of the villas in River City.

Zhu Rende thought it was a bit odd when he saw Ye Chen take a taxi just to get to Virtuous Benevolence Hall that day. However, after seeing the place Ye Chen stayed at, everything made more sense to him.

It seemed like this young grandmaster was just a humble man.

Zhu Zixuan stepped into the house, and she was slightly surprised. In her head, Ye Chen wore clothes and had a vibe that was akin to a poor man. However, it seemed like Ye Chen was in a realm of wealthiness that stretched far beyond hers.

When she recalled the day she had rattled on and insulted him about how he was just a country b.u.mpkin, she could feel her face becoming flushed; she wished she could find a place to burrow into.

If a guy who lived in a penthouse in Great Tomson was a country b.u.mpkin, what was Zhu Zixuan?

The three of them hauled all of the medicinal herbs inside the house. Initially, Ye Chen wanted to offer them a drink. However, out of his expectations, the place had no water because he had just moved in. It was not like he could offer them the swimming pool water to drink, right?

“Uh… I don’t stay here often so I’m sorry to tell you that I don’t have any water… How about I go downstairs and buy some for you guys?”

Zhu Rende shook his head repeatedly. “Mr. Ye, we’re not thirsty… But we actually have something we’d like to ask…”

Naturally, Ye Chen knew that they had another purpose for coming over. He sat on his sofa and bluntly said, “Go on.”

Immediately after that, Qin Yuanming jumped up to him and kneeled before him as he said, “Your humble servant, Qin Yuanming thanks thee, Grandmaster Ye for your life-saving grace!”

‘Grace?

‘Life-saving grace?’

Ye Chen was dumbfounded. Within his time frame, he had only saved one person, and that was Shen Haihua. ‘Where did this old man come from?’

“You are…”

Qin Yuanming hastily explained, “Grandmaster Ye, to tell you the truth, I am Zixuan’s master. I impart to her my martial arts skills, and you have perfected my Seven Sun’s Heart method. Other than that, you have allowed me to successfully breakthrough my bottleneck in martial arts. Now, I’ll never have to worry during practice! From this day onward, you will be Qin Yuanming’s eternal benefactor!”

Ye Chen finally understood that he had saved Qin Yuanming’s life by amending the problem in Zhu Zixuan’s cultivation method.

His whole life.

He suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, “When you called me your grandmaster, what’s that supposed to mean? Are grandmasters good?”

When they heard what Ye Chen had said, they were all stupefied. Evidently, this included Qin Yuanming and both members of the Zhu family; the granddad as well as the granddaughter!

A martial arts grandmaster who did not know the meaning of being a grandmaster?

Was he a martial arts powerhouse that was able to manipulate True Qi outside of his body?

The types of realms were taught to everyone who stepped foot into the very first cla.s.s of martial arts!

If he did not understand the basics, how did this Ye Chen get into the realm he was in?

When Ye Chen saw everyone’s shocked faces, he hurriedly explained, “I just got down from the mountains not too long ago. Therefore, I’m not too clear about the categorizations of Huaxia’s martial arts teachings. Please do tell me about it.”

Qin Yuanming said with a serious tone, “Grandmaster Ye, the martial arts system in Huaxia starts this way. When you first step into martial arts, you’re taught that there are two types of strength; physical strength and inner strength. Inner strength is then separated into three categories which are minor success, big success, and peak success. After that, you level up to the halfway transmigration realm and then the end is the Grandmaster realm. The grandmaster realm is looked up to by many as martial arts powerhouses.”

Ye Chen squinted his eyes a little. It seemed like the realm system was much more different than what the old geezer had told him.

Of course, it was normal because the way he practiced his methods was unlike how Huaxia’s martial arts methods were practiced. Therefore, it was incomparable.

The old geezer had told him before that the true practicing realm types were the tempered body realm, the opened soul realm, the pneumatic realm, the astral projecting realm, the true soul realm, and the divine teleportation realm. From the six realms, they were separated into 9 levels!

After the divine teleportation realm, there was something scarier. However, Ye Chen was not worthy enough yet to know of it.

At the time at hand, Ye Chen had to be on the fifth level of the opened soul realm.

If he followed what Qin Yuanming had told him, that meant that the grandmasters in Huaxia’s martial arts were between the opened soul realm and pneumatic realm.

It seemed like grandmasters were stronger than he thought.

He wondered what realm the guy from Capital City was in!

‘Was he a grandmaster?

‘Or was he stronger than that?’

“Are there a lot of grandmasters in Huaxia ?” Ye Chen asked in a low voice.

Qin Yuanming thought for a few seconds before he answered, “Grandmaster Ye, among the ones we know of, Huaxia has fifty grandmasters, and ten of which are top-level grandmasters. However, I’m sure there are hidden ones. If I guess correctly, martial artists who are stronger than grandmasters should exist. It’s just that it’s harder to find out about them at the structure in my level.

“However, a little bird once told me that those grandmasters are mostly connected to specific Huaxia family lineages.

“As long as someone in their family was a grandmaster, their status was bound to rise! Even though our lives are now governed by science, technology, and the legal system, those who are in control of such things are usually close to martial arts powerhouses.”

Ye Chen tapped his thigh with his fingers lightly as he thought about the situation that had been presented to him. He then asked, “What about River City? What’s the situation concerning martial arts in River City?”

Qin Yuanming glanced at Zhu Rende as he said, “As for River City’s situation, I think Brother Rende is clearer about it compared to me.”

Zhu Rende was uns.h.i.+fting as he explained, “If you were to talk about the main forces of River City, the first thing you should know is the four major families. From strongest to weakest, it goes from the Chu family, the Zhao family, the Lu family and then the Chen family. The Zhu family has the strongest heritage and strength while the Chen family is the weakest… However, you mustn’t look down the Chen family. If the Chen family’s old grandpa takes over, it’ll be a different story.

“It’s a shame that one of the Chen family members offended someone, and both the father and son were brutally murdered in their own home. Currently, the Chen family has been kicked out of the four major families and has been replaced by the Wan family.”

Previously, Ye Chen had heard from Chen Zhengguo that the Chen family had a grandmaster who practiced on Martial Waste Mountain. He had even tried to threaten Ye Chen with him.

Seemingly, the old grandpa of the Chen family must have known about what had happened to the Chen family, but n.o.body knew when he was going to return.

Even though the job had been done cleanly, without a trace of evidence, they could connect the dots to him if they set their minds to it!

If Bai Libing doubted Ye Chen, other people would as well!

As for the Chu family, the Zhao family, the Lu family, and the Wan family, he knew some of them!

The person he was most familiar with was Chu Shuran!

It was the woman who was full of herself and had played him like a ragdoll!

If it was not for her insulting him in front of the entire school congregation five years ago, he would not have failed to recover from the negative experience!

Neither would he have left his parents in tears every day!

Then, his parents would have never attended the banquet in Cloud Lake Manor for the sake of his dignity!

Even though five years had pa.s.sed, he could vividly remember everyone’s faces at that time!

How all the family members had called him useless in front of his parents!

Moreover, he remembered how his parents had defended him, their eyes bloodshot with fervent!

In his parents’ eyes, their son would never be useless! No one had the right to insult him!

“Chu Shuran, this time I’ll return, and I’ll let you understand what it’s like to be the real champion!” Ye Chen crossed his heart.
