The Yao family was undergoing a transformation, preparing for the mass production of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills. Once the transition was complete, Chen Jiuyang would release a few more pill recipes to the Yao family.
His master, Feng Hanhou, had also promised to prepare cultivation resources for Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang only needed to resolve the Yao family's formation issues to make rapid progress in his cultivation.
Recalling the previous day's attack by the Gong family, Chen Jiuyang informed Feng Hanhou about the matter.
Feng Hanhou pondered for a moment, "The Gong family, I haven't heard much about them. However, since they could dispatch a half-step Earth Realm expert to intercept you, they are likely not a minor force. I will go to the Six Gates immediately and inquire about the Gong family for you."
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang also harbored deep suspicions. Was the Yao family not as simple as it appeared on the surface? A half-step Earth Realm Grandmaster was already more than enough to annihilate the Yao family.
This Gong family also had Grandmaster experts. Why didn't the mastermind directly attack the Yao family, but instead chose to slowly consume it?
Just then, Yao Zixuan called, her voice filled with anxiety, "Jiuyang, my grandfather has been ambushed and is severely injured. Someone wants to seize power from me!"
Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed, "I'm coming to the Yao family immediately."
Chen Jiuyang drove to the Yao family mansion. The atmosphere in the Yao family was heavy and oppressive.
Yao Zixuan's face was pale. Seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, she threw herself into his arms, her body weak and limp, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Tell me exactly what happened."
Yao Zixuan explained, "This morning, after my grandfather ate breakfast, he suddenly collapsed. The family's medical team is currently trying to save him. Several elders who had previously promised my grandfather have suddenly turned against me, wanting to seize the position of family head and prevent the Yao family from fully transforming."
"Internal strife?" Chen Jiuyang asked, "Which faction's influence do those elders represent within your Yao family?"
Yao Zixuan replied, "My grandfather's eldest son, my paternal uncle. If my uncle takes power, they will definitely ensure that my father and I die."
"Internal strife this fierce?" Chen Jiuyang frowned, "There must be something fishy going on here."
He had only recently had Yao Qianhe fully transition to the medicinal herb industry, and today something like this happened. Furthermore, someone was impatiently jumping out to seize power. This was not ordinary internal family power struggles; there was definitely foul play.
Chen Jiuyang reassured her, "Zixuan, don't worry. As long as Old Master Yao still has a breath left, I can cure him. Your Yao family will not fall into chaos."
Yao Zixuan's tone became slightly grave, "Currently, my uncle has locked down the treatment room where grandfather is, using his status as the eldest son. We don't know the exact situation inside. If Jiuyang you want to go in, there might be conflict."
"But as long as I can cure my grandfather and stabilize the family situation, I cannot be soft-hearted. I am the Young Family Head!"
Yao Zixuan led Chen Jiuyang towards the East Courtyard of the Yao family. Outside the medical room, hundreds of people were densely packed.
These were all descendants of the Yao family, Yao Zixuan's clansmen.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, Yao Deyun's face lit up with joy. He said earnestly, "Jiuyang, I'm troubling you this time. Please, help save the Old Master."
"Deyun, who is this?" a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, over fifty years old, with an imposing aura, spoke up. His gaze was cold as he stared at Chen Jiuyang.
This was Yao Qianhe's eldest son, Yao Dezheng! Yao Zixuan's paternal uncle!
Yao Deyun introduced, "Big Brother, this is Chen Jiuyang, the fiancé that the Old Master personally chose for Zixuan. Jiuyang is also a divine doctor, which is why the Old Master favors him. I invited him here to treat the Old Master."
Yao Dezheng said coldly, "No need. I specifically hired the foremost physician in Fengcheng for fifty million to treat the Old Master. Is the person you brought even more skilled than them?"
"Big Brother, the people you invited have been inside for several hours with no news. The Old Master is still in a coma. I think we should let the person I invited give it a try."
"Get out! Are you in charge of the Yao family now, or am I, the eldest brother?" Yao Dezheng's face darkened. He opened his mouth and berated, "Throw him out!"
With that, two middle-aged men in martial robes walked towards Chen Jiuyang, intending to expel him. These two were Yellow Realm experts.
"You want to throw me out? You must have something to hide!" Chen Jiuyang's true qi surged, and the air exploded. The two Yellow Realm experts who were about to apprehend Chen Jiuyang were sent flying by the shockwave of true qi.
The screams of the two men echoed.
"Profound Realm Grandmaster?" Yao Dezheng's face changed drastically, "How can he be so young?"
Yao Deyun chuckled, "Big Brother, I forgot to introduce you. Chen Jiuyang is not only a divine doctor but also the youngest and most renowned Profound Realm Grandmaster in Fengcheng. He is also the personal disciple of Feng Hanhou."
Yao Dezheng's expression immediately turned ugly, his face shifting between green and white, "Is this why the Old Master designated your daughter as the Young Family Head?"
Chen Jiuyang stared at Yao Dezheng and said word by word, "Are you going to let me into the treatment room or not?"
His aura was powerful and domineering, his gaze sharp, making it impossible for anyone to meet his eyes directly. Yao Dezheng gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his head, clearing the path for Chen Jiuyang.
If Yao Dezheng dared to say no, Chen Jiuyang would have crippled him in the next second, and no one would dare to question it.
Chen Jiuyang entered the treatment room. Yao Qianhe lay unconscious on the bed, while a group of experts and professors stared at the analysis data in their hands with furrowed brows.
"Who are you? Get out! Don't interfere with our treatment," an expert yelled at Chen Jiuyang, "Can you take responsibility if the treatment is delayed?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "I am a professor at Fengcheng Medical University, and like you, I am a doctor. I was invited by the Yao family to save the patient."
After a brief explanation, he walked directly to Yao Qianhe's side and took his pulse. Yao Qianhe's heart rate and other vital signs were normal, but he remained unconscious.
He expanded his divine sense to examine Yao Qianhe and discovered the anomaly. He saw that there was an invisible worm in Yao Qianhe's head.
"This is a curse!" Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed. He took out a silver needle and used his Pure Yang true qi to kill the worm, then circulated his true qi throughout Yao Qianhe's body.
Yao Qianhe's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened them. He sat up and saw Chen Jiuyang and a group of expert professors. He immediately understood what had happened, "Thank you, everyone. I am fine now. Please withdraw."
Chen Jiuyang flicked his finger, opening the door, and announced loudly, "Old Master Yao has awakened."
Yao Zixuan and Yao Deyun were the first to enter the treatment room. Seeing that Old Master Yao had recovered, their faces were filled with joy.
Yao Dezheng also followed in, "Dad, it's good that you're alright. You really scared all of us in the family."
"Is that so?" Yao Zixuan sneered, "Grandfather, during the hours you were unconscious, Uncle and several elders tried to seize my power and prevent the family from transforming. According to the mobilization of family assets, it's likely that as soon as you're gone, they'll divide up the Yao family's wealth."
