Ren Jie didn't delay. He picked up the paper and pen and started writing.
One sheet...
Two sheets...
Three sheets...
Ren Jie wrote very quickly. He originally didn't know how to use a writing brush, but as he wrote, he naturally grasped the rhythm, and his characters became more natural. His speed also increased, and sheets of paper filled with various materials were continuously handed to Ren Tianzong beside him.
Ren Tianzong looked at the sheets of paper Ren Jie had written, each filled with various materials. At first, there was nothing, but the more he looked, the more surprised his expression became.
Because when he first looked at Ren Jie's writing, it was clear he didn't know how, but gradually it became more rounded, and the characters became more beautiful and natural. Then, as his speed increased, the characters became more unrestrained.
Observing the person through their writing, Ren Tianzong found that after Ren Jie had written over ten sheets of paper and hundreds of characters, the writing had become very fluid, arrogant, and wild, as if seeing a person's inner self.
How was this possible? Could it be that his writing was perfected in such a short time? The later writing was stronger than that of a scholar who had practiced for over twenty years. The most unimaginable thing was that it had already formed its own style.
Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was a little better; he was just shocked and surprised, because his attention was more focused on the prescriptions and materials written on the paper.
Over the years, he had also researched many aspects, and gradually discovered that Ren Jie's control over each item was not much different from the masters he had invited. Although these poisons, formations, and restrictions were not particularly high-level, they were all incredibly ingenious, and the configurations of those people were the best.
How old was Ren Jie? How could he also achieve this, and in one go, involve over a dozen fields?
Moreover, in addition to the areas he understood, there were also some subtle adjustments that made them even more exquisite. Connecting this to what Ren Jie had just said, Sixth Master Ren Tianzong also seemed to feel that the things Ren Jie was writing seemed to be connected and were no longer completely independent.
Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was immersed in this, while Wan Hong, watching Ren Jie's writing from the side, was already staring blankly, as if in a dream.
The more he looked, the more confused he became. He couldn't believe that someone could write a character and their skill would improve as much as someone who had practiced diligently for a year, and after writing dozens of characters, it would stabilize and gradually form a style. This was simply nonsense.
Even if someone was talking nonsense or bragging, no one would brag like this; it was too ridiculous.
But the facts were right before his eyes. Wan Hong held back for a long time, and finally came up with a reasonable explanation in his mind. That's right. This Ren Jie had been secretly practicing, just hiding it usually, and at this moment, he finally stopped hiding. That's right, only this explanation was reasonable.
Ren Jie didn't have time to care what they were thinking. Damn it, nineteen interconnected steps, involving different things from over a dozen fields, producing countless changes.
He wrote for a full three hours in one go before stopping.
"These... are all needed?" Ren Tianzong held the thick stack of paper in his hand, thicker than several books stacked together. All these medicinal materials and materials combined could fill his wooden house.
"No, one more thing is missing," Ren Jie, holding the pen and staring blankly at the blank paper, said slowly.
"What else is missing?" Ren Tianzong now somewhat believed that Ren Jie really had a way. Although it was somewhat unimaginable how he did it, he truly saw hope, so he eagerly wanted to know what Ren Jie said was missing.
Putting everything else aside, the things he held in his hand, just the combination of these materials and medicinal materials involving so many fields, would be difficult to guess.
"Hmm..." Ren Jie hesitated slightly and slowly wrote four characters on the paper: "Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow."
"Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow, is it very precious or difficult to find?" The Sixth Master had already seen the problem from Ren Jie's expression. His research in some fields was due to Yun Feng'er's symptoms, and the Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow that Ren Jie wrote about was something needed for the two symptoms of Yun Feng'er that hadn't erupted yet, and it was the most core item, so Ren Tianzong really didn't know.
"It's not that it's completely unobtainable, but this item is very rare. It can be said that the whereabouts of every drop will cause a great sensation. And this is what is needed for the last type of Gu poison. Because when the Gu poison hasn't erupted and it's unclear what kind of Gu poison it is, there are many ways to control it, but unless it's some super powerful item or natural treasure, the most suitable at present is Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow."
Ren Jie said worriedly, "But judging from the method of the person who poisoned Sixth Aunt, this person is very insidious and vicious. They want Sixth Uncle to watch Sixth Aunt but be helpless, and also constantly sacrifice his own life, eventually dying with Sixth Aunt after years of pain, torment, and suffering. And such a person cannot not leave something behind just in case. I feel that this Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow should be something he left behind. He might have a way to know the situation of the Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow. Other materials are fine, but once you set your mind on this Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow, it's very likely to alarm the person who harmed Sixth Aunt back then."
Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's face also changed. He wished he could immediately drag that person out and hack them into a thousand pieces, but no matter how much he hated that person, it was not as important as saving Yun Feng'er.
However, hearing Ren Jie say this at this moment, he felt a chill. What kind of person would go to such lengths to torment their couple to this extent?
"This Heavenly Profound Cold Marrow is condensed from a billion-year ice mountain. Like Earth Milk, it possesses a unique cold property that naturally restrains Gu Poison and can also balance the chain reactions of other poisons, making it indispensable. You must be careful in obtaining this, ensuring no one discovers you've acquired it secretly. Besides that..."
Ren Jie looked at Ren Tianzong very seriously and said, "Don't rush with the other medicinal materials either. With so many materials, even collecting them through the Ren Family's channels would cause quite a stir. So, you must be able to suppress it and remain steady. Sixth Uncle, think about it, so many years have passed, are we still in a hurry for these few months?"
In fact, after Ren Jie wrote these things down, he was also surprised. The depth of the poisoner's scheming was terrifying.
To be able to maintain the other person's survival for so many years with his own life, it's clear how much Sixth Uncle loves Sixth Aunt. Normally, once the method is known, even if collecting secretly, one would try to obtain everything needed in the shortest possible time.
But doing so would also be discovered by the other party. From this, it can be seen that the other party has been paying attention all these years. The more one thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
"Don't worry, although your Sixth Uncle couldn't figure out a way, he has spent many years pondering the person who harmed your Sixth Aunt. He has some understanding of their insidious, vicious, and terrifying scheming. This matter will not alarm any Ren Family members, nor will it go through any Ren Family channels, and it won't even be purchased within the Bright Jade Dynasty. Everything will be broken down into hundreds of groups and then sought through different channels, so no one will discover any connection to these medicinal materials. Let alone the Profound Heavenly Cold Marrow, even slightly more precious medicinal materials will be handled this way." Sixth Master Ren Tianzong finally saw a glimmer of hope and naturally wouldn't take any risks. He nodded and said in a deep voice.
Hearing Sixth Uncle say this, Ren Jie felt relieved.
"That's good. Sixth Uncle doesn't need to bother finding anyone else for the medicine preparation. I will do it myself then. Although the final product is High Grade Potion, its complexity far exceeds that of ordinary Supreme Grade Potion. Even finding a Spirit Alchemist might not work, unless you find someone whose research in potions has reached a certain level. This is also a point that is easily exposed, so I'll just do it myself." Ren Jie was now considering the issue of the final preparation of the antidote.
Wan Hong, listening from the side, felt very speechless, because Ren Jie's words were tantamount to indirectly boasting about his own abilities. He was truly not being modest.
"You can also prepare medicine?" Sixth Master Ren Tianzong looked at Ren Jie in disbelief. How many secrets did this kid still have that he didn't know? At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he had never understood this kid at all before.
Wan Hong was also stunned when he heard Sixth Master's surprised question. Just now, he only thought that Ren Jie was indirectly boasting about himself, but he hadn't realized this issue.
"Didn't Sixth Uncle call me here to ask if Fang Qi's poisoning had anything to do with me..." Ren Jie said without hiding anything, "That poison was something Fatty and I came up with together."
Although Sixth Master Ren Tianzong had considered this possibility, like others, he had unconsciously ruled out Ren Jie because the poison was too potent, leaving the large Fang Family helpless.
This was the same mistake others made. Subjectively, they thought Ren Jie was the most likely suspect, but the more so, the less likely he was, because if he truly had this ability, why would he act when his suspicion was so high? No one would do that.
Now hearing Ren Jie admit it himself, and thinking back to the scenes just now, Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was stunned for a long time before reacting.
"Then the things that have happened recently, were they intentional by the Family... Head...? Isn't the Family Head afraid that this will cause greater trouble?" Wan Hong also became more and more surprised the more he thought about it. While Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was stunned, he cautiously asked from the side. Or rather, he couldn't help but ask.
"Originally, with the family fortune my Old Dad built, even if I spent decades eating, drinking, and having fun as a Family Head who did nothing, letting them do whatever they wanted and compete wouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't matter if I left it for others to solve later. But the situation is clearly more terrifying than imagined. They all want me dead, so why should I be polite to them? Trouble? I am the dignified Family Head of the Ren Family, what trouble am I afraid of? And even if I say I want to learn from my father, who would believe it?"
"Furthermore..." Ren Jie smiled and looked at Ren Tianzong, saying, "Don't I still have Sixth Uncle backing me? As soon as I publicly entered the Library Pavilion, Sixth Uncle secretly took control of it. As soon as I showed my power, Sixth Uncle cleared out the people around my courtyard. I'm not fighting them alone, what am I afraid of?"
Ren Jie had long noticed the subtle changes around him. Someone was secretly helping him with some things. At first, because of the appearance of the Smiling Old Man, Ren Jie had also thought of him. He even wondered if it was someone from Sixth Uncle's side, but then he realized these were two different matters.
Sixth Uncle didn't even know about the existence of the Smiling Old Man, while the other things were Sixth Uncle helping him.
He had originally thought Ren Jie would hide it, or act in some way, or that they would need to discuss how to proceed, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen before he even asked, and then Ren Jie himself laid everything out.
Wan Hong stood there stunned, thinking that this was too simple, too simple, so simple that it was a bit unbearable.
"Haha..." Sixth Master Ren Tianzong suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears came out. Finally, he stepped forward and suddenly hugged Ren Jie: "Good, good, Eldest Brother has a successor. I knew how could Eldest Brother's son be like that? A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. How could Ren Tianxing's son be incapable? Good, good..."
