The core of the matter was Jiang Long.
However, Jiang Long felt that since he had apologized to his cousin in front of many friends, the matter was settled.
As a result, Yuwen Tu refused to let it go, and Jiang Long resented him in his heart.
From then on, the two began to engage in various open and secret struggles.
However, each struggle usually ended with Jiang Long's defeat.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Long was so cautious this time after discovering the spiritual artifact, fearing that Yuwen Tu would find out.
Who knew that Yuwen Tu would still find out?
And even came to mock him in person.
Otherwise, Jiang Long would absolutely not dare to challenge Yuwen Tu like this on a normal day.
"Heh heh, today is not the first time, nor the last time. I'll slowly play you to death!"
Yuwen Tu's expression was cold, causing Jiang Long to instinctively tremble.
But soon, Jiang Long realized that he shouldn't show weakness in front of Yuwen Tu. He put on a fierce expression, "If you have the guts, come at me. I'm waiting for you!"
However, Fu Biao, who was familiar with Jiang Long, could tell from Jiang Long's tone that he was feigning calmness.
Yuwen Tu gave Jiang Long a dismissive look and leisurely walked out of the presidential suite.
After Yuwen Tu left, Jiang Long went mad, kicking and smashing things in the room.
By the time he had vented completely, the room was in a state of disarray.
At this time, Yuwen Tu, who had already returned to the car, was listening to his subordinate's report.
"I'm sorry, Young Master. We caught the person, but we didn't find the item."
It turned out that Yuwen Tu had known about the matter since Jiang Long arranged for someone to attend the auction.
In fact, if he were willing to act, Jiang Long's people would have had no chance at all.
After all, even Jiang Long was no match for Yuwen Tu, let alone the decoys he arranged.
But Yuwen Tu genuinely wanted to toy with Jiang Long, so he didn't make a move and instead let his people successfully bid for the item.
According to Yuwen Tu's plan, he had already arranged for people to keep an eye on the decoys arranged by Jiang Long.
No matter who bid for the item, they would be caught when they left the auction.
Then Yuwen Tu would take the item and go to Jiang Long to mock him thoroughly.
Who knew that one of Yuwen Tu's subordinates had been careless and was discovered by the decoy who had bid for the item.
The decoy was quite clever. The first thing he did was pretend not to know anything.
Then, he blended into the crowd and shook off Yuwen Tu's subordinate.
Although Jiang Long's decoy was eventually caught by Yuwen Tu's subordinate, the decoy's hands were empty when he was caught.
After intense interrogation, the decoy confessed that he had taken the opportunity to throw the item under a car.
He planned to wait until he had completely escaped the pursuers, or to find an opportunity to call his accomplice to retrieve it.
After confessing, Yuwen Tu's subordinate escorted the decoy to find the item.
However, when they arrived at the spot where the item was allegedly thrown, it was empty.
"Are you sure that guy was telling the truth?"
Yuwen Tu, who had been silent all along, spoke up when he heard this.
The subordinate nodded, "Young Master, I have that much discernment. Besides, that guy isn't tough. He gave in after a few attempts, so he shouldn't be lying to us."
"Alright, as long as the item didn't fall into that dog's hands, Jiang Long's."
After speaking, Yuwen Tu waved his hand at his subordinate.
Soon, the car started and left the hotel's underground parking lot.
...
"Brother Du, all the materials you mentioned before are ready."
Upon returning from the Emperor's Auction House, Qi Tianyun immediately had the pre-prepared items brought out.
Everything, including the Yin Ning Grass that had just been bought, was laid out together.
For safety's sake, Du Fei personally went to inspect them.
"En, the items are fine. In two hours, I will start treating the old man."
After Du Fei finished speaking, he walked into the previously prepared alchemy room.
As for the father and son, Qi Yuntian, they did not follow.
After all, the alchemy process was a personal secret, and the Qi father and son had no interest in it. They just wanted Du Fei to cure Qi Songlin.
Qi Yuntian was left waiting outside for Du Fei to come out, while Qi Lianshan turned and went to his father Qi Songlin's side.
Two hours passed, fast and slow.
After Qi Yuntian paced back and forth at the door countless times, Du Fei finally came out.
Seeing Du Fei nod at him, Qi Yuntian immediately showed a smile and led the way towards his grandfather's room.
As Qi Yuntian led Du Fei into the room, Qi Songlin became a little agitated.
He had already handed over the position of family head and was mentally preparing for his death.
But suddenly, his illness had a turn for the better.
Now Du Fei was about to treat him, so even Qi Songlin, who had weathered countless storms and was the patriarch of a clan, could not remain entirely calm.
"Du Fei, can my father and I stay here?"
Qi Yuntian asked.
Du Fei turned to look at him, "As long as you can guarantee not to make any noise that affects me, then you can stay here."
"Du Fei, please rest assured, Tian'er and I can definitely guarantee this."
Before Qi Yuntian could speak, Qi Lianshan, who also wanted to stay in the room, quickly replied.
Du Fei nodded and then got busy with his own work.
"Alright, Old Master Qi, please take off your top and trousers and sit cross-legged here."
Du Fei pointed to the spot in front of him and said to Qi Songlin.
Qi Songlin let out a long sigh and then, as Du Fei instructed, sat cross-legged in front of him.
"Old Qi, please circulate your True Qi for one full cycle according to your own cultivation route."
Du Fei placed his hand on Qi Songlin's back.
As Du Fei spoke, Qi Songlin immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique within his body as instructed.
Hiss.
Halfway through circulating his technique, Qi Songlin couldn't help but let out a sound.
In recent years, as Qi Songlin's illness worsened, he would experience some blockages every time he cultivated.
This was no exception this time.
"Continue."
As Du Fei spoke, he quickly inserted a golden needle into the acupoint where Qi Songlin's True Qi was blocked with his other hand.
Huh.
The moment the golden needle pierced the acupoint, Qi Songlin immediately felt that the blocked True Qi in his body had become a little smoother.
Du Fei's voice entered his ears at the right time, and Qi Songlin continued to circulate his cultivation technique.
After that, Du Fei repeatedly performed the same action. Whenever Qi Songlin's cultivation was blocked, Du Fei would insert a golden needle there.
Soon, Qi Songlin's cultivation technique was about to complete a full cycle.
At this moment, Qi Songlin suddenly felt a surge of heat erupting from his dantian.
This heat became more and more intense, even giving Qi Songlin the illusion that he was about to be burned to death.
"Open your mouth."
Just as Qi Songlin was feeling unbearable heat in his body and his cultivation technique was about to falter, Du Fei's voice rang out again.
Qi Songlin subconsciously opened his mouth, and a pill was placed in it.
Before Qi Songlin could swallow, the pill dissolved in his mouth.
