Chapter 996 The Holy Physique Research Institute
Did father's research into this gene serum really only aim to cure cancer?
The Zhou family claimed they didn't target the Chen family because of the serum at first. So what was it then?
As questions flooded Chen Yang's mind, Hu Feng said from outside the door, "The medicinal herbs have all arrived."
Chen Yang, still harboring doubts, bid farewell to Grandpa Wei and Dr. Song, and then left with Hu Feng.
The two people left in the room sighed as they watched this scene.
Old acquaintances meeting, yet both are now in their twilight years.
After preparing the medicinal bath needed by Dr. Song, Chen Yang handed over the remaining work to Chen Xing.
Initially, everyone was puzzled why Chen Yang placed so much importance on a black ape, and even gave it a name.
It wasn't until they heard Chen Xing address Chen Yang as "Senior Brother" that everyone realized.
This Chen Xing was actually Chen Yang's demonic beast.
Now, the Grandmasters at the peak of their cultivation who were by Chen Yang's side had gained considerable understanding of the Heavenly Doctor Hall behind him, and knew that Chen Yang was not only powerful in martial arts but also a highly skilled Daoist doctor.
The Heavenly Doctor Hall's success was entirely attributed to Chen Yang's formidable medical skills.
The sudden appearance of a demonic beast that, like Chen Yang, also studied medicine, immediately drew everyone's attention.
During Chen Yang's absence, they had been inquiring about Chen Xing's medical knowledge.
A demonic beast studying medicine was an unprecedented occurrence.
However, they had not managed to glean much information.
Upon learning that Chen Yang intended to entrust the subsequent medicinal baths to Chen Xing, everyone eagerly crowded around.
Chen Yang's medicinal baths had already gained renown through Hu Feng's introductions.
Fei Zilin and others had long wanted Chen Yang to administer medicinal baths for them, but Chen Yang was always too busy, sometimes even disappearing for over ten days.
If Chen Xing could also prepare the baths, they could then seek him out.
Looking at the massive black ape playing with the herbs in its hand, everyone felt a bit ashamed.
Although Chen Xing was a peak-level demonic beast, the idea that any random demonic beast could enter the path of medicine made them feel utterly useless.
Chen Yang was well aware of their thoughts but did not linger. The preparation of the medicinal herbs was already arranged; what he needed was for Chen Xing to experience the changes within the herbs himself.
These were things that only Chen Xing could learn gradually on his own.
After Chen Yang left, Chen Shu, who had been observing from the shadows, also noticed something unusual about Chen Yang.
Chen Yang went alone to the mountain villa's garden, and a ancient martial arts manual mysteriously appeared in his hand.
The罡风 (Gang Feng) that Chen Yang had used during his battle with the Zhou family originated from this ancient martial arts manual.
It was the inheritance from Senior Qin Yi.
Chen Yang had always believed that Senior Qin Yi's greatest skill was divination. To his surprise, after meticulously reviewing the items he brought back, he discovered several other treasures.
However, after reading only a couple of pages, Chen Yang found himself unable to concentrate.
Noticing Chen Shu's approaching figure, Chen Yang covered the book on the table. "You've come at the right time. I need to go out tomorrow morning. You should stay put for a while."
"If any of those peak Grandmasters who were observing us outside show up, you'll need to handle them. At least you can hold them off."
Chen Shu nodded slowly, without asking where Chen Yang was going. Instead, he said with concern, "Since we destroyed the Zhou family, I feel like you've been rather restless."
Chen Yang paused, then shook his head bitterly. "It's not restlessness, exactly. My mind is just a bit jumbled, and there are many things I can't quite figure out."
"I've made you worry."
Saying this, Chen Yang handed the ancient martial arts manual on the table to Chen Shu. "This is the inheritance from Senior Qin Yi. There are some parts I still haven't fully understood. Please take a look."
Although Chen Yang had learned some ancient martial arts script from Zhou Zeyao, Chen Shu was the one who had personally compiled and collected much of it. In terms of ancient martial arts academia, Chen Yang was indeed inferior to Chen Shu.
The next morning, Chen Yang saw Liu Ran, who had returned late the previous night. He didn't wake her but carefully got dressed to leave.
However, the moment he opened the door, Liu Ran's voice drifted out, "Do you know about Su Ya?"
Chen Yang paused, turning to look at Liu Ran with a puzzled expression. "Su Ya? What happened to her?"
Chen Yang hadn't heard any news of Su Ya being in trouble from anywhere else. Moreover, Su Ya had been the one to drive Liu Ran home last night.
Liu Ran hesitated. "You... forget it. If she wants to tell you, she will. Where are you going?"
"Overseas, to help Jiang Huainan with some matters."
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, a serious expression reappeared on Liu Ran's face. "Can't you go in a couple of days?"
Now, Chen Yang finally realized that Liu Ran genuinely had something important to say.
But under Chen Yang's persistent questioning, Liu Ran still refused to elaborate.
Chen Yang didn't press further and said, "I'm going out to save someone. The sooner I go, the better. I'll be back in three to five days at the latest."
Watching Chen Yang's retreating back, Liu Ran sat on the bed and sighed helplessly.
She really didn't know how to bring up Su Ya's situation.
...
A coastal city thousands of miles away was brightly lit, despite it being night.
This wasn't Chen Yang's first time in this city, but he had never heard of a place called the Holy Physique Research Institute before.
The information Jiang Huainan provided did not include the specific location of the Holy Physique Research Institute, only Song Wanrong's contact details.
However, Chen Yang tried to contact Song Wanrong for a long time without success. In the end, he had no choice but to have people from the Heavenly Doctor Hall investigate the location of the Holy Physique Research Institute.
The name "Holy Physique Research Institute" was indeed difficult to trace. If it weren't for the Heavenly Doctor Hall hacking into the data of several catering companies in the coastal city and meticulously piecing together the name, it would have been difficult to find the exact location so quickly.
Not only was the location of the Holy Physique Research Institute difficult to find, but even once found, it was also hard to approach!
Looking at a factory-like building not far away, Chen Yang's brows furrowed.
Chen Yang was still several hundred meters away from the factory, yet even from this distance, the number of patrolling personnel he could see was enormous.
Not to mention the unknown number of hidden sentries.
Why would a Holy Physique Research Institute require so many people? Chen Yang was puzzled as to what kind of research necessitated such elaborate measures!
Just as Chen Yang was preparing to act, a voice suddenly came through his earpiece.
