"Young Master Ye, from now on, we, the various Ancient Martial Clans, are your most loyal followers!"

"The hope of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm rests upon you!"

"Additionally, the Di Family will certainly not be content to lose the throne of the Ancient Martial Realm's king. They are very likely to resist to the end, becoming mortal enemies with you and us!"

"In this situation, Young Master Ye, you must be extremely cautious because if the Di Family wants to protect their throne, the quickest way is to eliminate you, the new king. After all, if the new king is gone, the old king won't fall! If you encounter any dangerous situations, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. The Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm will be your steadfast support!"

At the foot of Wudang Mountain, Wudang Town.

Before leaving, the formidable figures of the Ancient Martial Realm paid their respects to Ye Huan with utmost sincerity, cupping their fists and solemnly saying these words!

After speaking, they all flicked their sleeves and left with their younger family members!

Before leaving, these juniors cast respectful and envious glances at Ye Huan.

In their hearts, Ye Huan was an insurmountable mountain, the goal they strive for in the future!

Even if it took a lifetime of effort to achieve a fraction of Ye Huan's current accomplishments, it would be worth it!

At this moment, Ye Huan's forehead was filled with black lines. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

To be honest, he had no interest in becoming the new king of the Ancient Martial Realm, but he was helpless as the entire Ancient Martial Realm pushed him forward to resist the Di Family.

After this incident, the Di Family would inevitably regard him as the primary threat to their kingly status and would launch a series of actions against him as a result.

In that case, it would be better to just become the so-called new king!

In this way, he would have more cards to play against the imminent threat from the Di Family!

Indeed, in the face of any killer move the preeminent family of the Ancient Martial Realm, the Di Family, might unleash, Ye Huan was unafraid and had already begun considering countermeasures.

Moreover, he not only was unafraid but was also looking forward to the Di Family making a move!

He was worried about having no angle of entry to investigate the Di Family's covert and mysterious experiments.

If the Di Family indeed threw all their efforts at him, they might expose some flaws, which was exactly what he wanted to see!

He needed the Di Family to expose their flaws, giving him a breakthrough!

Ye Huan was thinking this way.

"Young Master Ye, something terrible has happened, come quickly and take a look!" Xiao Qingming, filled with urgency, ran over to Ye Huan, panting heavily and stated anxiously, "Young Master Ye, something's happened, that woman you 'resurrected' has done something very strange!"

Ye Huan raised an eyebrow and immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"After taking her to the hotel, she saw the ginseng and other herbal medicines in my bag and began gnawing directly on them, eating them raw, impossible to stop her, even Bear Grylls would call her a pro, you should come and see!"

...

"Strange... there's nothing wrong here." In the luxury suite at the top of Wudang Grand Hotel.

Sitting at the edge of the large bed, Ye Huan took the woman's pulse, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression very puzzled.

After hearing about the woman's strange behavior from Xiao Qingming earlier, he rushed over without delay, taking her pulse to check her physical condition.

Who would have thought, as seen, aside from being very weak, there was nothing unusual about her body!

It was truly bewildering, no sign of sickness, yet her Ancient Martial strength plummeted from the Extreme Divine King to the Divine General level, now acting like a starving ghost, crazily gnawing on herbs?

As Ye Huan thought, he became more puzzled. He looked at the woman gnawing on the ginseng and said truthfully, "Your body is very normal, not sick."

The woman gnawed off the dried skin of the ginseng, spat it into the trash bin, and continued gnawing on the essential part inside, saying calmly, "I am aware."

"How strange, what's causing this out of nowhere?" Ye Huan muttered in confusion, raising his eyebrows, then continued focusing intently on taking her pulse, tightly gripping her icy jade-like slender soft wrist.

The next second, upon discovering that after the woman swallowed a bite of ginseng, a trace of weak vitality surged in her extremely weak meridians, Ye Huan's expression changed, "You're eating this stuff, could it be to nourish your body?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but my body's instincts are leading me to gnaw on these hard-to-eat herbs. After eating some, my body indeed feels a bit better, and my strength can recover a little, but the improvement and restoration are quite limited."

"Do you think it's possible that after sleeping in the coffin for too long, your body's meridians, which have not been nurtured for thousands of years, have become extremely fragile, so when you forcibly exhibited your power as the Extreme Divine King, the frail meridians couldn't withstand the pressure and completely collapsed, leading to extreme weakness and causing your Ancient Martial power to regress by two major levels?"

Ye Huan said this gravely, then paused and continued nodding, "I think it's probably this way, after all, the herbs you're eating now, like dried tangerine peel, ginseng, and Huanglian, all have the effect of nurturing meridians, invigorating meridians. Your body, unable to bear the burden, guides you to eat them, and after consumption, gives you positive feedback, making you feel slight improvement, indirectly telling you that consuming herbal medicines can repair your body and restore your strength."

"Hmm... makes sense, I give you a thumbs up."

The woman nodded several times in agreement, giving Ye Huan a thumbs up in praise. After that, she shifted her tone, "You seem to be quite a formidable Ancient Martial medicine practitioner. Do you have a way to adjust my body and restore my peak strength?"

"What you're eating now are herbs aged over a hundred years, very precious. According to logic, the medicinal power should be quite good, but you should also sense that to you, they are as a drop of water in a vast desert, completely insufficient to fill your meridians."

"It's partly because eating them raw doesn't allow for the full medicinal power to be utilized, but the main reason is probably because your meridians are overly depleted, too empty, reaching the extreme of emptiness."

"To recover your strength as the Extreme Divine King, you'll need to consume high-aged, potent herbs formulated into medicinal decoctions long-term, whose main effect is nurturing meridians."

"Here's the plan."

Ye Huan pondered for a moment and said, "After all, you exhausted your meridians helping me, I'll try to help you restore your strength, but I may need a lot of time to gather a vast amount of herbs. Meanwhile, conditioning your body is a big project that will take considerable time."

He sighed inwardly, thinking if only the Treasure Lotus from Tianshan had the function of nurturing meridians, a few petals might completely restore her strength.

Regrettably, the Treasure Lotus of Tianshan does not have this effect.

Hearing him, the woman paused, then her eyes showed a layer of satisfaction, "Time isn't an issue, I can wait. But as for you, Little Leaf, your style of paying back favors is really to my liking. After some thought, I think I could make an exception and accept you as my Divine Child. What do you say? Become my junior and when I recover my strength, I'll take you to flaunt and fly high!"

"Not interested!" Ye Huan's face turned dark as a pot bottom, rejecting the woman's proposal decisively. He then seriously asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "You keep referring to yourself as 'I', may I ask, who exactly are you?"
