Ye Tian: "Bing Feng Li Qingmei and Long Si have both approached me before. They told me the truth about the Long family. In the current Long family, the Old Master of the Long family doesn't call the shots, nor do the eldest and second masters. The real power lies with the godfather of the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes, the Long family's strategist."
Ren Ping was shocked: "Our intelligence department doesn't know about this!"
Ye Tian: "It's normal that you don't know. This kind of matter is hidden beneath the surface. Only those involved know, and they won't tell outsiders."
"Leader, are you going to start with Black Dragon and Bing Feng?"
Ye Tian: "After that, Li Qingmei met with me several more times, but I ignored her. Now, it's time to meet them."
Ren Ping: "I'll arrange the meeting place."
Ye Tian: "No need. It will be at Jiuhua Mountain Villa. Since I intend to subdue them, the meeting place doesn't matter."
Ren Ping smiled: "That's true!"
Afterward, Ye Tian, along with Chen Shuqi and the other three, returned to Jiuhua Mountain Villa. These four individuals all possessed Human Immortal cultivation, but after years of torment in Dongying, their bodies had more or less lingering internal injuries. Ye Tian planned to treat them and simultaneously enhance their cultivation.
These four would become his trusted confidants, and he naturally intended to nurture them well.
Yu Fengnian had been waiting at Jiuhua Mountain Villa since early morning. Upon seeing Ye Tian, he said with a wry smile, "Mr. Ye, it's truly difficult to get an audience with you."
Ye Tian observed him and replied, "I haven't seen you during this period precisely because I was waiting for this day."
Yu Fengnian was taken aback: "Waiting for this day?"
Ye Tian: "Today is Jingzhe (Start of Spring), and after your cultivation over this period, your accumulation is almost complete. It's the perfect time to break through to Human Immortal."
Yu Fengnian was stunned: "I can attempt the breakthrough now?"
Ye Tian nodded: "Come with me to the training room."
After bringing Yu Fengnian to the room, Ye Tian assisted him in his breakthrough to Human Immortal using a special technique.
When Yu Fengnian first sought him out, his cultivation was only at the Human Immortal stage, and Ye Tian's assistance was limited. However, things were different now. Ye Tian had already advanced to Earth Immortal, enabling him to help Yu Fengnian perfect his spirit and strengthen his physique, thus facilitating a smooth breakthrough to Human Immortal.
Of course, this was not a simple matter. Even as an Earth Immortal, it required considerable mental effort and the use of several spiritual herbs to help Yu Fengnian achieve a successful breakthrough. For this purpose, he had enlisted the help of the Ginseng Baby and borrowed a few drops of spiritual blood. Some of the spiritual herbs he had accumulated were also used.
Spiritual herbs combined with the power of an Earth Immortal – this was a rare opportunity not easily afforded to just anyone. Undoubtedly, Yu Fengnian was fortunate. Had he met Ye Tian any later, he likely would not have received such preferential treatment.
Yu Fengnian was confined to the room by Ye Tian for a day and a night. The next morning, Ye Tian emerged first, while Yu Fengnian remained inside.
Shui Yuexian was guarding outside the room. She asked, "Little Brother Tian, did Yu Fengnian break through?"
Ye Tian smiled: "He broke through and is currently in the process of perfecting his cultivation. He should emerge in about three days."
Shui Yuexian: "He's truly lucky. He originally lacked the aptitude to become a Human Immortal, yet you forcefully elevated him."
Ye Tian: "Destiny is also a form of talent."
After coming out and having a cup of tea, Li Qingmei called. Her car, along with Black Dragon's, was about to enter Jiuhua Mountain Villa, and she requested passage.
Ye Tian: "They've come quite quickly."
Ten minutes later, Li Qingmei and Black Dragon entered the living room. Both appeared expectant. The restrictions on them were becoming increasingly severe, making their suffering unbearable. If Ye Tian didn't intervene soon, they would have no choice but to submit to the strategist.
Ye Tian smiled: "Both of you, I can help you resolve these restrictions. However, doing so would undoubtedly offend the Long family's strategist. This person currently possesses the means to control the Long family, and opposing him makes me uneasy."
Li Qingmei: "Please rest assured, Sir! As long as you cure my Fourth Brother and me, we are willing to serve you!"
Ye Tian asked them: "Do you two know my identity now?"
Li Qingmei smiled: "We've heard a little. Sir is now the leader of the Heavenly Alliance."
Ye Tian nodded: "Then you must also know that the Long family was once a member of the Heavenly Alliance. They later withdrew and gradually developed into their current scale."
Black Dragon: "We are aware of this. Sir, are you looking for us because you intend to make a move against the Long family?"
