Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Ruoxi, Alchemical Spirit Bloodline

This time, the middle-aged beauty from the Medicine God Temple didn’t speak.

Facing an entity as colossal as the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, they of the Medicine God Temple would not easily provoke them, and since there was no conflict of interest any longer, she naturally would not interfere.

Li Zong’s expression changed again and again, but in the end, he glanced in Su Luo’s direction and ultimately did not speak out to stop him.

On one hand, he was willing but powerless!

Now, Wan Yuanhai was as he claimed, anyone who continued to obstruct him would likely face his wrath without any reservations, resorting to assassination if necessary. After all, he could not afford to be continuously thwarted, which would damage his reputation and undermine the authority of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce.

So if he were to stop him, today, he truly might die here, and even Su Luo wouldn’t be able to save him.

On the other hand, from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that if Shen Qingzhi were to leave, it would be a good thing for his young mistress!

Therefore, if Wan Yuanhai were to take Su Luo away, he would fight to the death, fulfilling the trust placed in him by the young mistress, but if it were Shen Qingzhi, Li Zong naturally lacked the determination to go to such lengths.

Shen Qingzhi also saw the situation for what it was.

She knew that Wan Yuanhai, like a lion on the verge of a rampage, could no longer be provoked. Otherwise, no one could predict the consequences.

After casting a glance in Su Luo’s direction, her eyes were filled with resolve, "Fine, I will go with you."

Now that the people from the Medicine God Temple had arrived and there was a high chance Su Luo could be saved, she couldn’t stand by and let him be harmed. By going with the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, she could ensure Su Luo’s safety.

If Su Luo could risk his life for her, she likewise could give up her own for his sake.

"Qing Zhi, you can’t go with them," Lin Ruoxi said anxiously. Shen Qingzhi following Zhou Shihao and Wan Yuanhai—could that ever end well?

It was akin to a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.

However, it was clear she couldn’t stop Shen Qingzhi.

"I won’t resist. I’ll go with you voluntarily and will cooperate with everything in the future, but may I say goodbye to them?" Shen Qingzhi looked toward Wan Yuanhai.

Wan Yuanhai glanced at Shen Qingzhi and said in a deep voice, "One minute," for the sake of future convenience and to avoid trouble.

Seeing this, Shen Qingzhi immediately walked towards Su Luo.

At that moment, Su Luo was still in Xia Yi’s arms.

Shen Qingzhi didn’t care for formalities. She approached Su Luo, squatted down, and disregarding everyone’s gaze, she leaned in and kissed Su Luo on the lips.

"Su Luo, I’m sorry, I have broken my promise!"

"You must wake up and live on well!" she whispered softly.

Afterward, Shen Qingzhi stood up and looked at Xia Yi, "Thank you."

She then turned, walked over to Lin Ruoxi, and gently hugged her, whispering in her ear, "Ruoxi, Su Luo is in your hands now. Don’t be fooled by his sometimes flippant manner. He’s reliable, someone to entrust your whole life to."

"Qing Zhi, you..." Lin Ruoxi wanted to hold Shen Qingzhi back, but Shen Qingzhi let go of her, shook her head, and turned to walk towards Wan Yuanhai.

It was evident that she had resigned herself to a fatalistic outcome.

"I will also go. No matter what, I must follow Shen Jie!" Rose pushed through the crowd, her gaze just as determined. Wherever Shen Qingzhi went, she would follow, vowing to stand by her to the death.

"Rose," Shen Qingzhi called out her name and shook her head gently.

However, Rose’s resolve did not waver as she looked at Wan Yuanhai and asked, "Can I go too? I can take care of Shen Jie, so you won’t have to worry about her."

"Fine," Wan Yuanhai surprisingly agreed.

"You’re too foolish!" Shen Qingzhi couldn’t help but reprimand her.

"Shen Jie, wherever you are, I’ll be there," Rose insisted, unheeding.

Because she knew clearly that if she did not go, Shen Jie would most likely take her own life. She did not want to see such an outcome and being with her would at least provide some comfort.

If it really came to that point, she was willing to die alongside Shen Jie, having each other for company on the road ahead.

"Alright."

Shen Qingzhi grabbed Rose’s hand.

Lin Ruoxi’s eyes brimmed with tears. She wanted to stop them, wanted to keep Shen Qingzhi by her side, but she was powerless to do so. She looked at Li Zong, but Li Zong remained silent.

In desperation, she turned to the Medicine God Temple, but the beautiful woman from the Medicine God Temple also shook her head.

In the end, Shen Qingzhi and Rose left with Wan Yuanhai and Zhou Shihao. Those with the power to stop them were unwilling, and those who wanted to intervene lacked the power under the deterrence of the Great Grandmaster.

"Sorry."

Li Zong looked at Lin Ruoxi with a hint of apology in his eyes, then he couldn’t help but cough up another mouthful of fresh blood. It was clear that after clashing with Wan Yuanhai, he had been seriously injured.

Outside Lin Mansion.

Zhou Shihao said with some dissatisfaction, "Elder Wan, if we let Su Luo go this time, we might not get another chance in the future. His growth is too rapid; he poses a great threat to us. And then there are the secrets he carries with him."

"I know," said Wan Yuanhai gravely.

Before Zhou Shihao could finish his sentence, he saw Wan Yuanhai cough up a mouthful of fresh blood that stained his chest.

Zhou Shihao’s words stuck in his throat.

He finally understood why Elder Wan had compromised. Although it seemed like Wan Yuanhai had the upper hand in the battle and had severely injured Li Zong, he himself had also been injured. With people from the Medicine God Temple present, he didn’t dare to take more risks.

This left Zhou Shihao feeling unwilling, but he could only inwardly clench his teeth and decide to seek revenge later.

Of course.

It was already a miracle that Su Luo had survived after being struck by the Blood Fiend Needle. Zhou Shihao felt that even the people from the Medicine God Temple might not be able to save Su Luo.

Inside Lin Mansion.

Wei Hongbo, seeing the atmosphere so somber, hurriedly introduced the middle-aged beauty from the Medicine God Temple to everyone: "This is Elder Yan from the Medicine God Temple, unrivaled in medical skills and a master of the alchemical arts."

"Please, Divine Doctor Yan, save Su Luo." Lin Ruoxi had to set aside her worries for Shen Qingzhi and focus on the matter at hand, beseeching the Divine Doctor to save Su Luo.

"Don’t worry." Yan Wushuang nodded with a smile. From the moment she saw Lin Ruoxi, she knew the girl was naturally attuned to the alchemical arts, which delighted her. That was also why she had specifically stated that Wan Yuanhai could not take Lin Ruoxi away.

Immediately after, Yan Wushuang knelt in front of Su Luo, stretched out two fingers, and placed them on Su Luo’s pulse.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression turned grave.

She and her disciples had rushed here overnight for Su Luo, but Su Luo did not exude an affinity for alchemy. Of course, the most important reason was that Su Luo’s life force was nearly extinguished.

With two Blood Fiend Needles still inside his body, the current situation made saving Su Luo as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

But it wasn’t impossible.

However, that would require the fastest mobilization of Millennium Divine Medicine from within the Medicine God Temple, and only then might Su Luo be saved.

But to use Millennium Divine Medicine—was that even possible?

Even within the entire Medicine God Temple, there were only three strands of Millennium Divine Medicine left, all treasures of the temple; there was no way they could be used on Su Luo.

Even if Su Luo were an alchemical genius, it wouldn’t be possible.

Moreover, even though Wei Hongbo had praised Su Luo to high heavens, upon her arrival, she did not feel that way. She had not taken interest in Su Luo but in Lin Ruoxi instead.

This made her even less willing to save Su Luo.

Yan Wushuang rose to her feet.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi also approached, asking anxiously, "Divine Doctor Yan, how is Su Luo doing?"

Yan Wushuang did not directly answer Lin Ruoxi’s question but instead smiled and said, "Let me see your hand, can I?" She wanted to confirm whether Lin Ruoxi was as attuned to the alchemical arts as she had thought.

"Yes." Lin Ruoxi, still hoping that she would save Su Luo, naturally would not refuse.

Afterward, she lifted her hand.

Yan Wushuang grasped her wrist, felt it carefully for a moment, and then her eyes widened with sheer joy as she looked at Lin Ruoxi: "You... you actually possess the Alchemical Spirit Bloodline?"
