Chapter 240 Rewinding Three Days
Wei Lingtao gave Wei Yunqing a deep look, then spoke:

"I and the elders have examined the body of Ancestor Nanfeng. There are no external injuries on his body, and there are no signs of forced entry into his secluded cultivation place. We have already sent people to the city to invite a physician to examine him and confirm the true cause of his death."

Wei Yunqing hadn't expected the family head to have made arrangements, but this suited her perfectly. She pointed to the male cultivator beside her and said:
"This is Senior Brother Li Qingtong from Danfeng of Haoran Sect. He happens to cultivate the Dao of Medicine, so he should be able to help the family head."

In addition, I also borrowed the sect's Retrospective Mirror. After casting the spell, I can see what happened in the three days before the ancestor's death. I can trace back to who the ancestor came into contact with before his death. If someone really did something in secret, I can definitely find that person.

However, my niece's cultivation level is limited, so the patriarch needs to personally activate the Rewind Mirror.

After speaking, he glanced at the spot where Yunxi was sitting out of the corner of his eye.

Yunxi's expression remained unchanged. She felt that Yunqing had become smarter this time and had obviously come prepared. Moreover, she was so clear about the family's affairs that someone must have tipped her off, and there could only be one other person besides Du Ruolan and Wei Lingyue.

Wei Lingtao merely frowned and said:
"Since you have doubts about the ancestor's demise, then investigate as you suggested, so as to give the clansmen an explanation."

As they were talking, a member of the Wei family invited another medical practitioner from Haoran City over.

The newcomer was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, whose cultivation was even higher than that of Li Qingtong, whom Yun Qing had invited. The two exchanged glances and immediately recognized each other as fellow medical cultivators.

Wei Lingtao first politely bowed to the visitor and said:

"Master Chen, the reason we invited you here is to ask you to investigate the cause of our ancestor's demise. When my niece from the clan heard the news, she was unaware that the family had already made arrangements and also invited her fellow disciples. Please do not mind."

Master Chen wore a simple gray-blue robe, with only a medicine pouch hanging at his waist. The hairpin he used to hold his hair was a piece of dark brown wood. He looked very unassuming, and most importantly, he was very humble. He smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"It's alright. As fellow practitioners of medicine, we can verify each other's findings."

Li Qingtong also politely cupped his hands to Master Chen. He really didn't know that the Wei family had already invited someone else. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have come with Junior Sister Yunqing.

However, judging from what Junior Sister Yunqing said just now, she clearly suspected that someone had secretly harmed the Ancestor, and this person must be a member of the Wei family. Therefore, she did not trust the medical cultivator hired by the Wei family, which is why she invited him down the mountain alone.

Moreover, to ensure everything went smoothly, Junior Sister Yun Qing even went to the Mission Hall to spend spirit stones to rent a Time Reversal Mirror, showing how much she valued this matter.

After sorting things out in her mind, Li Qingtong followed behind Chen Zhenren and went with the Wei family patriarch and the elders to the ancestor's secluded cultivation place.

Wei Nanfeng is the patriarch of the Wei family, so his place of seclusion is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy and is also the deepest part of the Wei family's territory. At this time, there is an isolation array blocking the way, which means it was sealed off after the incident.

Wei Lingtao stepped forward, made a hand seal to deactivate the formation, and then invited Master Chen inside. Li Qingtong followed closely behind, then Yun Xi, Yun Qing, and Wei Lingyue, and finally the elders of the Wei family.

The courtyard of Ancestor Nanfeng was planted with many spiritual plants, all of which were well cared for, and the spiritual energy was much richer than that of the front courtyard. After entering his cultivation room, everyone saw Wei Nanfeng sitting cross-legged.

Although Wei Nanfeng had stopped breathing, his body was nourished by spiritual energy, so he looked as if he were asleep.

As the head of the family, Wei Lingtao spoke to the two medical cultivators with a slightly choked voice:

"Thank you both for your help."

Without hesitation, Master Chen stepped forward first, casting a spell that enveloped Wei Nanfeng's corpse in a pale green halo. After a moment, the halo disappeared, and he checked Wei Nanfeng's pulse before stepping aside to let Li Qingtong examine him. Li Qingtong understood why Master Chen hadn't given a definitive conclusion. He stepped forward, using his spiritual energy to create a thread, and inserted a blue spiritual energy thread into Wei Nanfeng's brow. After circulating it around his body, he withdrew it, then cast a probing spell towards Wei Nanfeng's dantian.

A moment later, he returned to his original position, cupped his hands in greeting to Master Chen, and said:
"Master Chen, after my examination just now, I have confirmed that the other party perished after his lifespan was exhausted."

Master Chen nodded and said:

"What you found is the same as mine. This patriarch of the Wei family has indeed reached the end of his lifespan. The reason he can maintain his current appearance is because the anti-aging medicine in his body is working."

Upon hearing the results of their investigation, Wei Lingtao finally felt relieved. However, Wei Yunqing was clearly not able to accept the results, but she had no power to question the diagnosis of the two medical practitioners, especially since one of them was someone she had invited.

So she pursed her lips and said with reddened eyes:

"Patriarch, may we use the Time Reversal Mirror to see what our ancestor went through before his passing, and whether he passed away peacefully?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Wei Lingtao's eyes, but he still nodded solemnly. This matter had to be clarified, otherwise some people would pin the blame for the ancestor's demise on him, since it was too much of a coincidence that the ancestor had died just as he had advanced to the Golden Core stage.

Among those present were elders of the Wei family, disciples of the Haoran Sect, and even Master Chen, who had no connection to either side. Only by definitively determining the nature of the ancestor's demise once and for all could he resolve the matter once and for all.

Then Wei Lingtao solemnly accepted the Retrospective Mirror handed over by Wei Yunqing and threw it into the air. The light emitted by the Retrospective Mirror enveloped Wei Nanfeng's courtyard.

Wei Lingtao continued to pour spiritual energy into the retrospective mirror, and images began to flash in the mirror, but they were played in reverse order.

The first thing that happened was that the Sixth Elder came to see the Ancestor. Then, sensing something was wrong, he immediately sent out a communication talisman to invite the Patriarch and the elders of the clan. After everyone confirmed that Wei Nanfeng had died, they all left the courtyard. The Patriarch personally sealed the courtyard off, and no one else entered.

The Sixth Elder spoke up to confirm:

"The situation at that time was indeed as shown in the time travel mirror."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mirror of Retrospection flashed through several images, all of which showed Ancestor Nanfeng cultivating. During this time, he also sent out two communication talismans, the recipients of which were known only to the Ancestor himself, and they had no way of finding out.

With the blessing of spiritual power, the Rewind Mirror rewound to the penultimate day. On this day, Ancestor Nanfeng did not cultivate, but instead brewed tea and received a guest in the evening.

The newcomer wore a dark robe, obscuring his face, but was very tall. He seemed to be an old acquaintance of Ancestor Nanfeng. The two drank a cup of spiritual tea, after which Ancestor Nanfeng personally saw him off.

Wei Lingyue frowned and said:

"We have never seen this person before; he must be a friend of our ancestor."

Wei Lingtao took a deep breath and continued to pour spiritual power into the Rewind Mirror. The Rewind Mirror quickly skipped over the scene of Ancestor Nanfeng alone and continued to rewind one day.

First, the Grand Elder came to report the good news to Ancestor Nanfeng. Then, Wei Lingtao came to see Ancestor Nanfeng. Ancestor Nanfeng was very happy and gave him a few words of encouragement. He also bestowed upon him a magic weapon. After that, Yunxi appeared in the scene.

The moment Wei Yunqing saw Yunxi, her eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the scene in the time-travel mirror, trying to find a breakthrough.
