The Zhu family.

Zhu Hai said to his father, "Dad, I'm sorry for not completing the mission this time!"

Zhu Hanyi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I anticipated this outcome. You don't need to blame yourself. Tell me about the situation at that time."

"Yes!" Zhu Hai nodded and recounted the situation back then.

After listening, Zhu Hanyi frowned and said, "Are you saying that this Yang Chen acted without regard for Liu Xianhong's status? Was he acting recklessly?"

Zhu Hai nodded.

Zhu Hanyi frowned and asked, "What do you think is the reason?"

Zhu Hai shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, but I think it's probably not the Ye family. The Ye family can't give him such confidence. No matter what, he is still just an outsider to the Ye family."

Zhu Hanyi nodded.

After a while, Zhu Hanyi said to Zhu Hai, "We have to handle this matter cautiously. I heard stories from your grandfather about the terrifying nature of the Shangqing Sect, although I don't know if they are true, it's better for us to be cautious! We're not like the Ye family, Liu family, or the Li family; they still have their elders alive, and your grandfather passed away early. You know the situation in the Flame Country, the status of the elders is very important. We're not like them, we need to be cautious in everything."

Zhu Hai nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. I've already told Yang Chen that if he needs anything, I'll do my best to help him."

"You've done very well!" Zhu Hanyi nodded, seeming very satisfied.

...

Today, a strange phenomenon is trending in the Southern Federation business circle.

Upon meeting, people around would say hello, and the next thing they all uniformly asked was, "Do you have century-old ginseng?"

For a moment, it left many people puzzled. Has the aristocratic circle started trending medicinal herb wellness?

This led many keen-sensed businesspeople to see a business opportunity, quickly starting to buy up a large amount of herbal materials. Those who acted quickly even hung medicinal herb wellness signs on the same day.

The same was true in the Flame Country.

Many people were searching for century-old ginseng and some other herbs.

This made some old herbal doctors very happy, feeling hopeful for the revival of ancient medicine.

Afternoon.

Yang Chen logged onto the dark web and saw the message from Luke Leonard.

"The herbs have been found and will be delivered tomorrow!"

In addition, there were photos of the herbs, information on their ages, and details on the meeting place.

After seeing this, Yang Chen went to Master Ye and said, "Master Ye, don't worry anymore, the herbs have been found. We will proceed with the surgery at noon tomorrow promptly!"

"So soon!" Master Ye was stunned, somewhat doubtful, "Have all the herbs been gathered?"

Yang Chen nodded, "Yes!"

"This..." Master Ye was astonished, never expecting Yang Chen to have such extraordinary capabilities.

Master Ye sighed, "So fast, I've only managed to gather half here."

"That's perfect; the extras can be used to make other medicines, the more, the better."

"Understood!" Master Ye nodded.

Ye Liangcai, on the side, frowned and said, "Xiaochen, it's not that I don't trust you... it's just that my family elder also told me about his health condition. This situation is so mystical; I feel... should we conduct a pre-surgery consultation? Invite some veteran experts to study the treatment plan together?"

Yang Chen casually said, "Sure, if you feel it's necessary, we can have a consultation tonight."

"Alright!" Ye Liangcai nodded, "Apologies Xiaochen, I'm just concerned for my father's health. After all, he's the backbone of the Ye family; I can't let anything happen to him."

"I understand!" Yang Chen nodded.

Yang Chen understood the need to be cautious about the elder's health.

However, Yang Chen did not believe those experts would be able to figure out much.

...

Meanwhile.

Southern border.

Outside the border.

A group of people was hiding in a gully, observing the situation across.

They dared not enter recklessly, after all, the Flame Country was a forbidden zone; entering would mean facing unknown situations, and any danger might occur.

One person quietly said to the leader, "One, that's the Flame Country over there. Are we really going in?"

One shook his head and replied, "No! I've already sent someone to investigate. It's very dangerous to go in recklessly without clear information. It's safer to wait here. According to my intelligence, they entered the Flame Country through this route. Now we wait for them to come out! Using the Flame Country's saying, it is like luring the snake out of its hole!"

"Right, right! The boss is wise!" Two praised.

One, flattered by his subordinates, naturally felt pleased and instructed, "Let's eat something good tonight. Go out and catch something to eat!"

"Yes!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Great!"

"Grilled barbecue tonight!"

...

These people could never change their love for indulgence.

Just like the Northern Federation soldiers, wherever they went, they had to drink beer, eat barbecue, and listen to music.

So during the counterattack in the Monkey Country war, the Northern Federation soldiers were driven out by us.

...

Before they knew it, it was already evening.

At dusk, Master Ye went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Then all sorts of test results were brought back, with a few senior experts waiting in the hall while discussing.

"This condition is very rare!" Dr. Liu said.

Professor Chen also nodded, "Truly unheard of, it seems like a kind of parasite!"

"It's definitely a parasite, but have you noticed that these parasites have occupied many critical parts of Master Ye's body, even within bones and joints? If we kill these parasites, it could also be fatal to him!" Professor Sun said.

Dr. Liu sighed, "We understand what you're saying, so what should we do now? Killing these parasites will undoubtedly harm Master Ye."

Professor Chen shook his head and said, "No, Master Ye has already formed a symbiotic relationship with the parasites; neither can do without the other."

At this moment, Master Ye and Ye Liangcai walked in.

The three professors stood up immediately, looking respectful towards Master Ye and Ye Liangcai.

Master Ye nodded to the three professors and then sat down.

Ye Liangcai asked them, "Excuse me, have you thought of any effective treatment methods?"

The three exchanged glances, all hesitant.

After all, this wasn't a time to showcase medical skills because the patient in question wasn't a common person, and any immature plan couldn't be used. If anything unfortunate happened to this elder, they'd be in grave trouble.

After hesitating for a while, they slowly said, "We think a conservative treatment plan should be adopted, monitoring in the hospital, researching the pathology and principles of this parasite to fundamentally solve it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangcai felt helpless.

Master Ye seemed to have expected this and asked Ye Liangcai, "Where is Yang Chen?"
