182: It's not the disciple's fault, it's the master's wife's fault for being too charming.

"Stolen from the Imperial Palace?"

Ye An couldn't help but give a thumbs up!

"Is my Master that awesome? He even dared to steal the Imperial family's Cultivation Technique?"

Manor Elder laughed when he heard this!

"What's that? My Master back then was an existence on par with Emperor Xiao!"

"It's just that everyone pursued different things!"

"Emperor Xiao was dedicated to creating the Great Yan Dynasty, a suitable place for humans to live!"

"But my Master preferred a life of leisure, picking flowers amidst the mountains and rivers!"

"So, they just had a friendship, but their Dao was different!"

Ye An couldn't help but give a thumbs up!

"He even knew Emperor Xiao, impressive!"

Manor Elder smiled and lowered his voice!

"Let me tell you, my Master also had an affair with Emperor Xiao's elder sister!"

"Emperor Xiao doesn't even know!"

"It's just that whether Emperor Xiao's elder sister is still alive now is unknown!"

"Even if she is, she's probably an old woman by now!"

Ye An awkwardly grimaced when he heard this.

However, he could imagine that with his Master's methods, it wouldn't be difficult to win over Emperor Xiao's elder sister!

Most importantly, he had now also inherited his Master's Legacy!

Doesn't that mean he also has a chance to win over a woman from the Imperial family?

If he managed to get a princess or something, then he would be a Husband who lives with wifes family of the Imperial family!

Thinking this, Ye An stopped wasting words. Since he had obtained good things, he naturally had to learn them quickly!

Lest delays cause trouble!

Thinking this, Ye An quickly flipped through the two Cultivation Techniques. Sure enough, almost simultaneously, the System's voice rang out in Ye An's mind!

"Ding! Detecting that the host is Cultivating Demon Suppression Fist and Blessed Land!"

"By investing 1500 merit points this time, you can learn them directly!"

"Demon Suppression Fist: 500 points! Blessed Land: 1000 points!"

"Do you wish to invest?"

Listening to the System's voice, Ye An agreed without a second thought!

"Invest!"

Are you kidding? Although Demon Suppression Fist is an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique, just Manor Elder's description made it clear it was very powerful!

And this Blessed Land is even an Imperial family Cultivation Technique, so 1000 points is really not excessive!

And as Ye An's words fell, the System's voice indeed followed!

"Ding! 1500 merit points deducted this time. Demon Suppression Fist and Blessed Land will be learned in three minutes!"

"Friendly reminder: Blessed Land is a one-time investment. The Small World opened up subsequently will expand automatically according to the host's strength!"

"One-time investment? Wow, that's even more worth it!"

Hearing the System's reminder, Ye An couldn't help but smile!

Subsequently, as the Blessed Land Small World expands, he won't need to invest merit points, only improve his strength!

This is simply a huge profit!

And this was just the Cultivation Technique area; there was still one last treasure area to go!

Thinking of this, Ye An no longer delayed and immediately ran towards the treasure area.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the treasure area, he saw!

Within the treasure area, there were densely packed Spiritual Roots!

Looking around, an entire row was all Middle-Grade Spiritual Roots!

Ye An didn't take any but quickly looked around.

Finally, he discovered that there were over a thousand Middle-Grade Spiritual Roots here!

There were even over three hundred High Grade Spiritual Roots.

And most importantly, in the innermost part of the treasure area, there was even an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Seeing this Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, Ye An couldn't sit still!

Good heavens, he was currently only missing an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root.

With this Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, his Spiritual Root might even be able to be upgraded to Earth-Grade!

Thinking of this, Ye An quickly put away the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

As for the Medium Grade and High Grade ones, he didn't need them for now!

His few wives had all also been upgraded to High Grade Spiritual Roots, so they didn't need them either!

It would be better to save them for his son or new wife later!

As for his subordinates, Ye An was reluctant.

These Spiritual Roots are very precious; unless it's for his closest people, he wouldn't give them away!

After all, subordinates can be recruited again, but once these Spiritual Roots are used up, they are truly gone!

Ye An put away the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root and didn't rush to refine it, but instead looked around again.

Seeing that there were indeed no other items, he then walked towards the second floor!

Sure enough, when he reached the stairwell, he saw that the door leading to the second floor was locked.

A faint light covered it!

Clearly, if his strength wasn't up to par, he wouldn't be able to go up!

"Alright, stop thinking about the second floor!"

"When your strength is sufficient later, this Seal will naturally be lifted!"

"Now, I'll take you to see other places!"

Ye An nodded, then followed Manor Elder out of the Three-Layered Tower!

...On the other side of the plaza, there was a low, single-story building.

Manor Elder introduced!

"That is the Pill Refining Room. Inside are many Medicinal Pills that the Master refined and left behind during his lifetime!"

"You can go through them yourself later!"

"But I warn you, you know my Master loved picking flowers!"

"So, there are quite a few of *those* kinds of Medicinal Pills inside; don't sniff them casually when you have nothing to do!"

"Be careful of exploding to death!"

Ye An nodded awkwardly when he heard this, then pointed at the medicinal field and asked!

"Can I freely pick the herbs in that medicinal field?"

Manor Elder smiled and said!

"Of course, but I warn you!"

"There are only so many herbs. Once you use them up, they're gone!"

"So, if you want to use them long-term, it's best to remember to replenish new herbs!"

"Or leave some seeds of each kind!"

Ye An nodded.

Then Manor Elder led Ye An to a huge building, like a storeroom, in front of its door.

As the door opened, Ye An could even see a large patch of bloodstains on the ground!

Inside, there was a layer of white Formation covering it!

As the two entered the Formation, Ye An saw that it was densely packed with Yao Beast corpses!

Manor Elder introduced!

"These are the Yao Beast corpses that the Master hunted; their Spiritual Roots have all been taken away!"

"As for these corpses, if you cook some, they are all delicious!"

Saying this, Manor Elder pointed to a Flood Dragon corpse hanging on the outermost part and said!

"See that? This is the last Yao Beast the Master hunted, a Ninth-Grade Flood Dragon!"

"Alas, after the Master hunted it and just took its Spiritual Root, he didn't even have time to deal with the corpse!"

"He then encountered Feng Wuhen!"

"He never dealt with it until his death!"

"It was I who dealt with it after burying the Master's remains!"

"It was precisely because no one dealt with it that the Flood Dragon's essence blood was lost in large quantities!"

"The beast blood stone you saw outside is actually formed by the Flood Dragon's essence blood seeping out!"

"The Formation of this mineral vein is actually also related to this Flood Dragon's essence blood!"

Ye An suddenly understood, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh!

"As Master and disciple, if possible, please take me to offer incense and kowtow to his elderly self!"

Manor Elder looked at Ye An and nodded with satisfaction when he heard this!

...Behind the mansion, in front of a solitary grave, Ye An lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the ground, then kowtowed three times to Immortal Feixing!

"Manor Elder, now can you finally tell me how Master offended Feng Wuhen?"

Manor Elder sighed when he heard this and said!

"Follow me!"

Then Manor Elder led Ye An to a cliff behind the mansion.

There was a huge cave on the cliff, and Manor Elder led Ye An inside!

As he entered the cave, Ye An was shocked to see!

Inside this cave, there was a huge blood-red stone!

The stone was entirely blood-red, yet it was transparent in color!

Ye An was shocked to see that inside this blood-red stone, there was actually a woman lying down!

The woman's eyes were tightly closed, as if she were asleep!

Her delicate features and perfect figure immediately made Ye An stiff!

"Who is this woman? It couldn't be Master's..."

"Oh no, oh no, I actually harbored ill intentions towards Master's wife!"

"Master above, I really didn't mean to!"

"I, Ye An, would never ride Master and destroy..."

"Wait, Master is already dead!"

"Someone has to take care of Master's wife!"

"Master, rest assured!"

"I will take care of Master's wife for you!"

"Rest in peace in the netherworld!"

"It's not that your disciple is not human, it's just that Master's wife is too charming!"
