However, although the Jia Family was one of the three major families in the martial arts world, the treasures in their inventory were pitifully few. Usually, they could only rely on high-quality spiritual jades to exchange for some common materials. Elixirs for skin remodeling and dantian repairing were even more scarce.
Therefore, Jia Yubian could only try to contact some other sects and families, hoping to exchange some elixirs with spiritual jades.
However, after contacting some of the people who were close to him and usually called him brothers, Jia Yubian was very surprised by the answers he received.
Those people seemed to have unified their statements and were all playing Tai Chi with Jia Yubian. They were either perfunctory, laughing and changing the topic, or saying that they had something to do and hung up in a hurry. There were even a few people who didn't pick up his phone at all, completely treating him like air.
Staring at the phone in his hand, Jia Yubian was a little annoyed, but he quickly figured out the reason.
As Jia Musen officially took the position in the family meeting and became the Young Master, many people's goals had already changed, and they began to curry favor with him!
Now that they had this Young Master to rely on, who would care about him, an Elder? Moreover, he was a has-been Elder! Even Jia Huoyan, who had become a Probationary Elder, was a guy who had given the Young Master a hard time. How could he have a bright future?
Elixirs to repair dantian were so precious, even if Jia Yubian had enough spiritual jades to exchange for them, those people would not easily agree! With this bargaining chip in hand, they would definitely give priority to Jia Musen! Who would care about him, a has-been Elder?
After thinking through the cause and effect, Jia Yubian was sad and angry. On the one hand, he was angry at the cold-hearted people, and on the other hand, he felt sad for his son's failure.
When he was extremely depressed, Jia Yubian raised his hand high, wanting to smash the phone. After a long time, he finally put it down and looked at the phone in a daze.
Looking at the last number in the address book, Jia Yubian hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and finally pressed the dial button. Then he put the phone to his ear, waiting for the other party to pick up …
After an unknown period of time, Jia Huoyan finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his father, Jia Yubian, sitting on the bedside. His face was full of wrinkles. His heart twitched, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Father, am I finished? Will I never be able to cultivate again? Will I only be able to be bullied by others like trash? "
He tried his best to remain calm, but when he spoke, his voice was very hoarse. As he spoke, he even seemed to be gnashing his teeth.
"You … you're awake?!" Jia Yubian was thinking about something when he regained his wits. When he heard Jia Huoyan's words and saw Jia Huoyan's miserable appearance, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He softened his voice and said, "Huoyan, don't worry! I will definitely think of a way to restore your Dantian to its original state! As long as I'm still alive, no one will dare to bully you! "
"But that fellow, Xiao Chen …" Jia Huoyan recalled the scene outside the kitchen and involuntarily clenched his fists. He said agitatedly, "Father, I really can't accept this. Why did Xiao Chen dare to use violence against me in public? That's in our Jia Clan's territory! Ouch … "
The more Jia Huoyan spoke, the more agitated he became. He accidentally tore a few wounds on his body. It was so painful that he grimaced in pain and almost fainted again.
"Don't talk for now. You're seriously injured now. It's not suitable for you to fight. It's more important for you to recuperate and restore your body!" Jia Yubian was shocked. He quickly gave Jia Huoyan a painkiller and applied ointment on a few places on his body that were bleeding again.
However, Jia Huoyan was unwilling to let it go. He continued to shout angrily, "I can understand that you didn't dare to resist at that time. But why didn't even Grandfather ask about it? Could it be that he's also afraid of Xiao Chen? I don't understand. The Jia Clan is one of the three big clans in the martial arts world! Could it be that even if we gathered all the financial and material resources of the Jia Clan, we still can't kill a mere Rogue Cultivator in the secular world? "
Jia Yubian was silent for a while. He gently patted Jia Huoyan's shoulder and said, "Leave the problem of Xiao Chen to me! I will definitely help you take revenge this time. But now is not the time! You are a direct descendant of our Jia Clan. Since your grandfather doesn't care about it, then I will do it myself! "
"Ah?! Why did you … "Jia Huoyan stared blankly. He asked hesitantly. This was the first time he had heard his father curse. Moreover, the target was his grandfather. This subverted image made him unable to accept it for a moment.
Jia Yubian didn't answer. The expression on his face gradually changed from one of regret and sorrow to one of malevolence and evil. Under the changing light outside the window, it seemed somewhat terrifying.
Jia Huoyan didn't pay attention to this detail. Instead, he carefully pondered over Jia Yubian's previous words. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He impatiently asked, "Father, did you think of another good idea? But this time, we can't act like before. We have to be a bit more cautious! After all, Xiao Chen is indeed not easy to deal with. Even Grandfather can only fight him to a draw. It's too dangerous to act rashly! "
"Who said that I want to deal with Xiao Chen? He's not the only one who can pose a threat to us! "Jia Yubian coldly smiled and asked.
"Oh? Could it be that we want to deal with Jia Musen? That's also fine! I've long since found him an eyesore. It doesn't matter who gets rid of him or Xiao Chen. In any case, it's fine as long as we can hand over the position of Family Head in the end! "Jia Huoyan thought he understood Jia Yubian's intentions and said with a look of sudden realization.
Jia Yubian didn't speak again. He seemed to be thinking about something. Although the last phone call just now didn't succeed in exchanging for the elixir, the other party provided him with more valuable information!
Therefore, before Jia Huoyan woke up, Jia Yubian had been thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"Father? What's wrong with you? " Jia Huoyan saw that Jia Yubian was in a daze again. He tentatively shouted. He suddenly felt that he couldn't understand Jia Yubian's thoughts. Since he woke up, his father seemed to have changed into a different person. There was an indescribable feeling!
"Hehe, they will die sooner or later. But we have to first …" Jia Yubian came back to his senses. A trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. Then, he explained his plan in detail …
In Jia Musen's courtyard, Tang Tang was sitting in Xiao Chen's room in a daze. No matter what others said or did, she didn't respond.
Xiao Chen had checked her body several times with his Primordial Qi, but he didn't find anything unusual.
First, she didn't show any signs of poisoning. Second, she didn't have any instrument to control her mind. But now, she was definitely being controlled by someone!
