Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the foot of the small mountain that Master Zhou had mentioned. Looking around, he realized that this small mountain was nothing compared to the vast mountains that stretched for thousands of miles.
The mountain is quite large, and the trees on it are lush and verdant.
This mountain is so large, no wonder we have to wait for the Foundation Establishment cultivator's tomb to open automatically before we can enter.
Even if Liu Xiaoyuan, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, were to go into the mountains to search for it, he still wouldn't be able to find it. Firstly, he didn't know how deep the tomb was buried at the bottom of the mountain, and secondly, he didn't know the location of the tomb, so he simply couldn't find it.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of another question: why did the tomb door open by itself? A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator shouldn't have such supernatural power, right?
Could there be other reasons behind this?
At this point, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but suspect that there was some kind of conspiracy involved. But for Murong Yuyan's sake, even if there was a conspiracy, he had to go.
After staying at the foot of the mountain for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan went back, but not to Murong Yuyan's house. Instead, he went to Xiao Qingfeng's place, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass from Xiao Qingfeng.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't put all his bets on this Foundation Establishment cultivator's tomb. Master Zhou had never been inside either. What if there wasn't any Pure Yang Grass inside?
Therefore, a two-pronged approach is necessary to increase the chances of success.
Upon arriving at Jishan Hall, Xiao Qingfeng was delighted to see Liu Xiaoyuan and invited him into his room.
Liu Xiaoyuan stated his purpose directly, and Xiao Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Young friend, I have never even heard of Pure Yang Grass, so I have no idea where to find it."
Sigh! Having failed to obtain any useful clues from Xiao Qingfeng, Liu Xiaoyuan appeared somewhat dejected.
Although this result was expected, I was still a little disappointed when I heard it.
"Dr. Xiao, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to bother you now." Liu Xiaoyuan stood up, deciding to visit one of the four major families in the capital. Although he didn't have high hopes for these four families, he thought, what if a miracle happened?
Liu Xiaoyuan went to the Wang family first and told them about the Pure Yang Grass, asking them to keep an eye on it. The Wang family naturally nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan went to the Tang family, the Li family, and finally the Ye family.
Upon arriving at the Ye family's residence, everyone there treated Liu Xiaoyuan as if he were a plague god, avoiding him in fear.
As the head of the Ye family, Ye Chengxin had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to greet Liu Xiaoyuan. Even his uncle Ye Jiang had been defeated by Liu Xiaoyuan, so Ye Chengxin dared not have any other ideas.
"Mr. Liu, what brings you to the Ye family today?" Ye Chengxin asked with a fawning smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "What do I need to do to come to your Ye family?" After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and glanced at Ye Chengxin.
Ye Chengxin was immediately frightened and shrank back, hurriedly saying that he dared not say such a thing even if he had ten times the courage. At most, he would only think about it in his heart.
Ye Chengxin welcomed Liu Xiaoyuan into the main room of the Ye family like a grandson, and let Liu Xiaoyuan sit in the seat of honor, while Ye Chengxin sat below him with a smile on his face, waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan to speak.
Liu Xiaoyuan recounted the story of the Pure Yang Grass, saying, "Your Ye family has been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass. As soon as you find any information about it, please inform me immediately."
Ye Chengxin nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give the order and have the entire Ye family inquire about the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass."
"Alright, that's all for today. I'll be leaving now." Liu Xiaoyuan stood up and walked out of the Ye family's main room.
"Mr. Liu, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you have lunch before you leave?" Ye Chengxin said with a smile, trying to persuade him to stay. In reality, he didn't want Liu Xiaoyuan to stay for lunch at all.
Ye Chengxin is under immense pressure from Liu Xiaoyuan, as if a mountain is pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Lunch is unnecessary," Liu Xiaoyuan said, waving his hand. Murong Yuyan had called him earlier, asking when he would be back for lunch.
When Ye Chengxin learned that Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't be having lunch at his house, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly thankful.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Zifan, the genius of the Ye family?" Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly saw Ye Zifan sitting in a wheelchair and asked with a smile, feeling very curious.
Ye Zifan was fine before. Although he had been disciplined, he wasn't crippled. But now, it seems that Ye Zifan's legs have been crippled.
Ye Zifan looked much more haggard. The spirited Ye Zifan of before was gone, replaced by an extremely haggard Ye Zifan.
Ye Zifan glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan without saying a word, looking utterly dejected.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to say something sarcastic to Ye Zifan, but seeing Ye Zifan's current state, Liu Xiaoyuan lost the will to do so.
"Ye Chengxin, how did your Ye family's genius turn out like this?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan was very curious about who had crippled Ye Zifan's legs.
Ye Chengxin said, "We don't know either. It must have been done by Zifan's enemies..."
According to Ye Chengxin, Ye Zifan had just recovered and wanted to go for a walk by himself. However, when the Ye family saw that Ye Zifan had not returned by midnight, they were afraid that something had happened to him, so they went out to look for him.
As a result, Ye Zifan was found on a secluded roadside. Ye Zifan had fainted from the pain. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor said that Ye Zifan's legs were beyond saving.
Subsequently, the Ye family went to Jishantang to beg Xiao Qingfeng, because Ye Zifan was a genius of the Ye family, and they must find a way to cure Ye Zifan.
However, Xiao Qingfeng was powerless to help. When the Ye family learned that Ye Zifan was now crippled, the entire Ye family was plunged into grief.
After Ye Zifan was crippled, his mood naturally plummeted. He attempted suicide several times, but fortunately, he was discovered in time and saved.
Ye Zifan became a cripple, which naturally made him a laughing stock among the Ye family disciples. When Ye Zifan was a genius, they flattered him a lot. At that time, Ye Zifan was full of vigor and naturally did not take these people seriously.
Now that Ye Zifan has become a cripple, they naturally want to mock him properly, since Ye Zifan never even gave them a second glance back then.
After learning about Ye Zifan's ordeal, Liu Xiaoyuan could only say that he deserved it. Who told you to be so arrogant? This is the price of arrogance.
