The old man quickly restrained his killing intent and said calmly, "Hmm, I understand."
Fu Kang: "Sir, how should it be treated?"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "For others, this Nightmare Gu is very strange, and they are helpless no matter what they do. But for me, it's just a matter of lifting a finger."
He reached out and placed his hand near the old man's nose. A ray of spiritual light flew in, which was his Immortal Mechanism Gu. With the Immortal Mechanism Gu, he was the king of all Gu, and this mere Nightmare Gu was nothing to him.
As expected, as soon as the Immortal Mechanism Gu entered the old man's body, the Nightmare Gu could no longer remain still. It immediately jumped out of his ear, like a wisp of smoke.
Ye Tian was prepared. He took out a porcelain bottle, trapped it inside in one go, and then tightly sealed the stopper.
After putting away the bottle, the dark aura on the old man's face instantly dissipated. At the same time, he felt a bit weak and had a strong sense of hunger.
Ye Tian took out a Yuan Ling Pill and said, "Old sir, this is a pill I refined. Please take it."
The old man's eyes widened. He took the pill, looked at it, and smelled it. His face showed excitement. "This pill was refined by you, sir?"
Ye Tian smiled, "You know about pills too?"
The old man sighed softly, "I was seriously injured on the battlefield years ago. While being transported back to the country, I encountered a Daoist priest along the way. Seeing that I was severely injured and might not survive the journey back, he gave me a pill. I remember the aroma of that pill very clearly, it was similar to yours. After taking the pill, my injuries stabilized. Later, I also recovered well, and my body even became stronger than before I was injured."
After speaking, he looked at Ye Tian, "This pill has a similar effect, doesn't it?"
Ye Tian said lightly, "Old sir, by taking one of these pills annually, you can live to at least one hundred and ten years old."
The old man sighed with emotion, "Although Xiao Kang is unreliable, he was able to recognize a remarkable person like you!"
Ye Tian: "You are too kind, I only understand a little bit of medical skill."
Fu Kang's elder brother stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Thank you, sir, for saving my father!"
This person was named Fu Ning, the eldest son of the old man, and currently serving in the military.
Ye Tian: "No need to be so polite."
The old man: "Sir, please do not speak of my recovery to the outside world."
Ye Tian knew that the Fu family intended to retaliate, and they likely already knew who was behind the attack. He said calmly, "I will not tell anyone."
The old man: "I will not keep you here today. I will definitely visit to express my gratitude another day."
"You are too kind. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
Fu Kang escorted Ye Tian to the main gate and arranged for a driver to take him back. Before parting, he sat in the car and said, "Leader, I won't see you off. My father has probably guessed who harmed him, and with his temperament, he will definitely strike back."
Ye Tian: "Mm. The old man is out of danger. Please rest well these few days."
Fu Kang: "Thank you, Leader. Please take care!"
The driver took Ye Tian back to Jiuhua Mountain Villa, where Ren Ping was already waiting for him.
Seeing him return, Ren Ping quickly asked, "How did it go?"
Ye Tian: "Let's talk inside."
In the living room, he poured a cup of tea before saying, "I have cured the person."
Ren Ping gave him a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration, "Leader, with the Fu family as the backing for our Heavenly Alliance, the Alliance's strength has increased by at least half!"
Ye Tian: "We should not get involved in their affairs."
Ren Ping: "Naturally. After the Fu family resolves this matter, my position should be promoted."
Ye Tian: "Oh, the Fu family will promote you?"
Ren Ping: "We are on the same side. Leader saved the old man, and the old man will surely repay the kindness."
Ye Tian: "If you get promoted further, what position will you hold?"
Ren Ping smiled, "My current position is still a deputy. If I get promoted again, I will be on par with my current superior and be on brotherly terms with the provincial governors."
Ye Tian: "So, you'll be at the provincial leader level."
Ren Ping: "However, this promotion should happen in a year or two. Before that, my authority will be enhanced."
Ye Tian nodded, "That's good. The higher your rank, the greater the help to the Heavenly Alliance."
Ren Ping: "By the way, Leader, shall we go to the second floor of the warehouse now?"
Ye Tian: "You sit for a while. After dinner, we'll go when it's dark."
Ren Ping: "That's fine. My shoulders have been aching recently, can you help me with it?"
