The An family was aware that their “benefactor” was the same individual who also supported the Fei family.


    Yet, when Asher discovered that the influential figure orchestrating everything was actually his nephew, who had been missing for twenty years, he found it hard to believe.


    During this conversation, Charlie revealed the truth without reservation, stating, “Mr. Fei had intended to purchase a Huichun Pill at the auction that day, but unexpectedly, his son seized the opportunity to take control. I share a friendship with Miss Fei, which is why I offered assistance to her and her grandfather.”


    Asher nodded thoughtfully, letting out a sigh. “It’s truly surprising… My eldest nephew possesses such remarkable talents; he truly is a gem!”


    At this moment, Li Yalin, who had been silent until now, interjected, “Asher, let’s not forget that Mr. Charlie saved my life.”<fn6402> For more chapters visit f?ndnovel</fn6402><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Absolutely,” Asher replied,ing back to reality. “It’s incredible! I used to dismiss my brother-inw’s talk of these peculiar matters. I always thought of him as a good schr and a promising young talent in finance, just someone who spent his days studying. I believed that his interest in practices, inheritance, and destiny was just a distraction from his real work. Now, it appears he has uncovered the truth behind it all; no wonder he is so resolute…” Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “


    Uncle, are you saying my dad has been exploring the inheritance and destiny of cultivation?”


    “Yes!” Asher confirmed. “When your parents were in the United States, they began delving into these subjects. At that time, I was skeptical, although your dad’s qigong practice was quite impressive.”


    Charlie eagerly inquired, “Uncle, could you borate on what transpired? What prompted my dad to study these topics?”


    Asher paused to gather his thoughts before responding, “It’s a lengthy tale. During his time in the United States, I must admit, I held your father in high regard. I had just graduated from college, and I learned a great deal from him every day. He was incredibly knowledgeable, not only in financial management but also in antiques and ancient texts;”


    “He often kept an eye on the antique and auction markets in the U.S. If he encountered any artifacts that had been lost from China, he would strive to document them for museums in China. However, there was one instance when he purchased a collection of antiques from a shop in New York. He locked himself in his study for three days;”


    “During those three days, he neither ate nor drank, nor did he step out of the room. After three days, your mother sensed something was amiss and attempted to persuade him toe out, but she ended up watching over him day and night…”


    Upon finishing this ount, Asher couldn’t help but sigh, expressing, “You can hardly imagine how devoted they were. They returned to the living room and spent three full months studying that collection of books as if they were in seclusion, never leaving their room and having the servants deliver food and drinks at the door…”


    Charlie, astonished, eximed, “Uncle, do you remember the name of the book my parents were studying?”


    Asher pondered for a moment before replying, “If my memory serves me correctly, it was titled Nine Sutras, Four Words, but I can’t recall the second part.”


    Charlie’s eyes widened as he instinctively asked, “Uncle, could it be Jiuxuan?”


    Asher’s face lit up with realization, “Yes, yes! It’s called Jiuxuan! The Preface to the Nine Mysteries. It sounded strange to me at first; I thought it was a scripture. Your dad imed it was the key to unlocking another realm, and I always thought he was just daydreaming…” Charlie found himself muttering, “


    The Preface to the Nine Profound ssics… Which preface is that?” Asher casually replied, “It’s the Preface of the Preface, like the Preface to the Lanting Collection.”


    Charlie contemted this, thinking, “So, the book Dad acquired is the preface to the Nine Profound Heavenly ssics?”


    He understood that a preface typically serves as an introduction before the main text begins. For instance, Wang Bo’s renowned work, “Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng,” was written during a banquet honoring thepletion of the Pavilion, where various schrs contributed poems and articles, whichter formed a collection. Wang Bo’s piece essentially served as a preface to that future anthology.<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
