Zi Xian Guo, a type of extremely rare immortal medicine, has stringent requirements for its growing environment, needing specific spiritual energies. Ye Tian never expected to encounter an immortal medicine in his lifetime!
He observed closely; the Zi Xian Guo was only two to three days away from ripening.
Zi Xian Guo could not only be used for alchemy but also had miraculous effects when consumed directly. Furthermore, this fruit bloomed once every hundred years, bore fruit after fifty years, and ripened another fifty years later. This meant one had to wait two hundred years to taste Zi Xian Guo!

"It seems this is the secret behind the Lang family's willingness to stay in Lao County," he grinned, climbing back up and returning to the surface.
At this moment, Yin Xie had returned, accompanied by a girl two years younger than her. Her beauty was similar, but her eyes were colder than her sister's.
Yin Xie: "Sir, this is my sister, Xue Qi."
Ye Tian nodded: "Does the Lang family know about what happened here?"
Yin Xie: "They don't know yet."
Ye Tian: "Dispose of the bodies. We'll be staying here for a few more days."
Yin Xie: "Sir, the Lang family has many experts. If we continue to stay, we'll inevitably clash with them."
Ye Tian: "It's fine. I'll set up a formation outside the building. If anyone comes, tell them I'm in seclusion and not seeing visitors."
With that, he went outside, activated his spiritual power, and walked around the house a few times. His spiritual energy seeped into the ground, forming a simple spiritual formation. This formation could last for three to five days, which was enough.
Yin Xie then guarded the outside, while her sister Xue Qi remained inside.
Ye Tian called Lin Ziyi, informing her that he would be back in a few days.
For the next two days, Ye Tian cultivated in the well, observing the ripening of the Zi Xian Guo. Yin Xie guarded the outside. During this time, people did come to inquire, but upon sensing the spiritual formation, they retreated. In the Lang family, only Lang Qianqiu could set up spiritual formations, and no one dared to defy his orders and force their way in.
Within these two days, Ye Tian, with the help of the purplish-red spiritual energy, opened his third spiritual aperture. This gave him three types of spiritual power within his body.
On the third day, the purple fruit began to glow faintly. Ye Tian touched it gently, and it fell into his palm.
He carefully placed the clusters of fruit into a jade box, then pulled out the immortal medicine. He had no patience to wait another two hundred years; it was more practical to use it for alchemy.
Finally, he brought the box of spirit stones out of the well and, that night, left the Lang family fort with the Yin Xie sisters.
Not long after Ye Tian and his party left, the Lang family discovered the tragic scene inside the building. Lang Qianqiu and his son were dead, along with the Lang family's second-highest expert.
However, the Lang family dared not investigate, because the person who could kill Lang Qianqiu could also kill them! From then on, the Lang family became even more low-key, remaining indoors for half a year.
In the early hours of the morning, Ye Tian brought the Yin Xie sisters to Villa Number One at Yunlong Mountain Villa. It had been renovated but was not yet occupied, so he let Yin Xie and Xue Qi stay there temporarily.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xue Qi suddenly trembling all over, then curling into a ball, her expression incredibly pained.
Yin Xie was startled: "Sir, my sister's medicinal effect has worn off. She needs to take medicine now, or she will go mad and die!"
Ye Tian knew that the young master of the Lang family had been using drugs to control Xue Qi. He immediately took out his immortal needles to treat her. After a few needles, Xue Qi calmed down, but her expression remained pained.
Ye Tian pondered for a while, then began to use his spiritual power to force the toxins out of her body. By dawn, Xue Qi had fallen into a deep sleep, her delicate face etched with exhaustion.
Yin Xie asked softly, "Sir, is Xue Qi alright?"
Ye Tian was also tired: "She'll be fine. Let her rest well. For the next two days, you take good care of her."
Yin Xie was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"
Ye Tian waved his hand: "Alright, I have something to attend to. I'll visit you again when I have time."
He took the spirit stones and drove back home.
Lin Ziyi had just woken up. Seeing Ye Tian's tired face, she quickly asked, "Tian Ge, where did you go?"
Ye Tian collapsed onto the sofa: "I'm exhausted. I'll sleep for a while."
Lin Ziyi came over to rub his shoulders: "Why don't I take a day off and stay home with you?"
Ye Tian: "No need. You go to work. I'll pick you up at noon."
Lin Ziyi nodded: "Okay."
Ye Tian hadn't rested much these past few days and slept until noon.
Suddenly, he sat up. The doorbell rang incessantly. Opening the door, he saw Jiang Wenxing standing there with a smile.
"Brother, I've missed you so much!" Jiang Wenxing lunged forward, only to have Ye Tian press his head down, preventing him from getting close.
Jiang Wenxing was no match for Ye Tian's strength and could only wave his hands in vain, calling out, "Brother, can't you give your cousin a hug?"
Ye Tian sneered: "What trouble have you gotten into? Tell me first!"
