After parting ways with Zhou Hongchang and the others, the three of them drove the van back to Bird City.

Upon returning to the city center, it was just past six o'clock. Qi Yun took out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Qing, informing her that he had arrived safely and would head back after handling some matters.

He then instructed Zhong Rui to take Liu Meng home, while he drove the BMW 5 Series, carrying those treasures directly to find Wei Xueming at Xinda.

In the office, Wei Xueming was originally preparing to attend a lecture. But upon hearing that the person on the phone had something important to discuss, he canceled the lecture to wait there specifically.

"What urgent matter do you have for me? Can you tell me now?" Wei Xueming poured a cup of tea for Qi Yun, pushed his heavy glasses up, and asked.

Qi Yun didn't waste any words and directly placed the bag on the table, then carefully took out the ancient manuscript wrapped in clothing.

Wei Xueming's eyes were instantly drawn to the ancient manuscript on the table. He put down his teacup, leaned forward, and stared at the cover of the manuscript, asking, "What is this?"

Qi Yun didn't answer his question but instead smiled and said, "Let's be petty before being noble."

"Before I tell you, I need you to promise that you won't tell anyone about this book's existence without my permission."

Wei Xueming was slightly stunned, knowing that the other party was afraid of a repeat of last time. This indirectly proved the book's extraordinariness, arousing his curiosity further.

He nodded solemnly, "Alright, I won't disclose a word about this book to anyone before you allow me."

"Can you tell me what this is now?"

Receiving the satisfactory response, Qi Yun replied deliberately and clearly, "The Qingnang Book!"

Upon hearing the words Qingnang Book, Wei Xueming's body jolted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

His eyes widened roundly, filled with shock behind the glasses, and his lips trembled slightly, "You... what did you say? The Qingnang Book?"

"The Qingnang Book that legend says was burned by Hua Tuo, with only one remaining volume, recording countless miraculous medical techniques?"

Qi Yun nodded slowly, "There's an eighty to ninety percent chance it is."

"That's why I came to you. I dare not easily flip through it in its current condition and need a professional like you to verify it."

Wei Xueming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his gaze remained locked onto the ancient manuscript, as if magnetized.

"You're doing the right thing. This kind of ancient manuscript, existing for thousands of years, is very fragile. Even a slight carelessness could damage the precious contents recorded inside."

"Qi Yun, if this truly is the Qingnang Book, it could be considered a miracle in the history of medicine and might even rewrite many medical understandings."

He spoke while pacing around the desk, revealing his inner excitement.

"How did you obtain this book, and is there any other evidence?"

Qi Yun nodded, taking out another piece of clothing from the bag, wrapped around the Passage Document.

"This Qingnang Book actually ended up in the hands of the king of the Toxara Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. He planned to offer it as a tribute to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the caravan sent out encountered a sandstorm on a section of the Ancient Silk Road and was buried for over a thousand years."

"This Passage Document should provide evidence, but as for the exact details, forgive me for not being able to disclose them."

Listening to this, Wei Xueming's expression became even more vivid, and he said excitedly, "The Toxara Kingdom? No wonder it's been lost for so long..."

His eyes fixated on the Qingnang Book and the Passage Document on the table, filled with uncontrollable shock.

"Qi Yun, if it's really as you say, this is simply an earth-shattering discovery!"

Seeing his state, Qi Yun was genuinely a bit worried that the old man might faint, so he quickly reassured, "Mr. Wei, please calm down."

Wei Xueming waved his hand, "Can I keep these two items here? I'll start on the restoration right away and inform you as soon as I have results."

Since Qi Yun brought the items to him, he naturally trusted the other party and agreed, "Alright, I'll leave it to you, I..."

"I know what you're worried about." Wei Xueming interrupted before Qi Yun could finish, "Don't worry, I won't ask others for help this time. I'll handle it personally and keep it strictly confidential for you."

"Alright then, if there's nothing else, hurry up and leave so you don't waste my time."

Qi Yun pursed his lips but wasn't offended, picked up his bag, and left.

Back in the car, he called Zhang Dayong, inviting him to dinner later to express his gratitude in person.

Zhang Dayong readily agreed, and they arranged to meet at Lao Feng's hotpot restaurant.

Checking his watch, Qi Yun saw that there was still some time before the end of Zhang's shift, so he called Lao Feng to reserve a spot and then drove to the pharmaceutical factory.

Earlier that morning, he had contacted Hong Weize, who informed him that Cao Yufei hadn't shown any signs of fleeing recently, which put Qi Yun's mind at ease, especially since it involved six to seven million.

This also proved that he judged the person correctly, as Cao Yufei was indeed trustworthy.

In the pharmaceutical factory office, as soon as Cao Yufei saw Qi Yun, he came forward with delight on his face, "Old Qi, you finally decided to show up. I've been unable to reach you these past few days."

"Didn't I tell you before leaving? I went where there's no signal." Qi Yun replied with a smile, sitting down on the sofa with him, "Did you sell that batch of Tufuling?"

"Sold it a few days ago." Cao Yufei nodded, his expression excited, "The whole batch sold for 7.4 million! The money is in the account, and you can transfer it anytime."
