Ren Ping was stunned, but he didn't press further. "Wait for my news," he said.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian picked up his tea and took a sip. He turned to Zhao Jun Tian and asked, "Do you know Xu Long Xiao?"
Zhao Jun Tian sneered, "Since you know him, why did you dare to make a move against me? If Long Xiao makes a move, you'll surely die!"
Ye Tian replied, "Is that so?"
An hour later, footsteps were heard at the door. More than one person appeared, gathering at the entrance. Then, a man in his mid-twenties, around 1.85 meters tall with a buzz cut, pushed the door open. He exuded an imposing aura.
He was handsome and dressed in a Zhongshan suit with black leather shoes. His steps were firm, and his back was perfectly straight.
He approached Zhao Jun Tian and smiled, "Uncle Zhao, are you alright?"
Zhao Jun Tian shook his head, "Young Master, I am fine."
Xu Long Xiao's gaze fell on Ye Tian. "You're the one who wanted to see me, right?"
Ye Tian said, "I wanted to talk to your Xu family, but your family is stubborn and unwilling to resolve this peacefully."
Xu Long Xiao chuckled, "You sought me out, hoping I'd kill you?"
Ye Tian sneered, "Kill you? You can barely save yourself, and you want to kill others?"
Xu Long Xiao faltered slightly. "What did you say?"
Ye Tian continued, "You've taken half a step towards becoming a Human Immortal. Unfortunately, you've taken that step in the wrong direction. Just a little further, and you'll fall into an abyss. Am I correct?"
Xu Long Xiao's expression darkened. Ye Tian's description was eerily accurate. He was indeed in a perilous situation, clearly sensing an abyss ahead. One more step, and he would be shattered beyond repair. Yet, not moving forward left him unwilling, as he craved greater strength!
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Long Xiao sighed softly. "How did you figure that out?"
Ye Tian replied, "I'm a doctor. It's not surprising that I can see it."
Xu Long Xiao bowed deeply to Ye Tian. "Xu Long Xiao greets Mr. Ye. I have actually heard of your great reputation. Several elders were treated by you."
Ye Tian said, "You're welcome. Please, have a seat."
Xu Long Xiao sat opposite him and asked, "Mr. Ye, you mentioned my condition just now. Can you help me?"
Ye Tian stated, "There are always risks involved in becoming a Human Immortal. But you are already on a path to destruction, unable to advance or retreat."
Xu Long Xiao sighed, "I was too confident, thinking I was on the right path. But in reality, I was wrong, terribly wrong!"
Ye Tian explained, "If you hadn't met me, you would have only two options. One is to push forward recklessly, in which case you'd have less than a one in ten thousand chance of survival. The other is to cripple your cultivation and start anew."
Xu Long Xiao gave a wry smile. "Sir, your eyes are truly sharp. In fact, I was already preparing to take the second path, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I started cultivating at fourteen, and it's been twelve years. I'm unwilling to let it all go to waste!"
Ye Tian offered, "I can help you prepare a third path."
Xu Long Xiao's eyes lit up. "Please, tell me, sir!"
Ye Tian said, "I haven't reached the Human Immortal stage myself. If I become a Human Immortal, I might be able to help you take that step successfully."
Xu Long Xiao inquired, "What realm are you at now, sir?"
Ye Tian replied, "Vajra Martial King."
Xu Long Xiao nodded. "It seems you are not far from becoming a Human Immortal. However, I am still sliding towards the abyss. Even if I stop cultivating, I will fall within six months."
This was a vivid description; he could no longer control himself.
Ye Tian assured him, "It's alright. I can use golden needles to temporarily stabilize your cultivation, keeping you in your current state for six months."
Xu Long Xiao's eyes brightened. "Really?"
Ye Tian affirmed, "We are both cultivators of the Divine Realm. Why would I lie to you?"
Xu Long Xiao nodded. "Then Long Xiao thanks you, sir!" He then prepared to perform a deep bow.
Ye Tian stopped him. "That's enough. You don't need to thank me. Your Xu family plotted to kill my brother. I must have an explanation from the Xu family for this matter."
