Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Agitation of the Blood Bead

"Xiao Yan, can you hear me?"

When Qin Chuan saw the tears welling up in the corners of Song Yan’s eyes, his emotions completely collapsed. He held Song Yan tightly and choked out, "There must be a way! There must be a way!"

He frantically racked his brain, desperately thinking of ways that might save Song Yan’s life.

The contents of The Ancient Medical Treasure had long been etched in his mind, but to no avail, he could not find a method to cure Song Yan.

Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "If I can’t find a way to save you, then I’ll create one that can!"

Now was not the time for sorrow or sentimentality.

"The Life Forbidden Technique burns the Three Souls and Seven Spirits as a sacrifice to transfer one’s life to another, which means that to save Xiao Yan, the first thing to do is to restore her lost souls and spirits."

"In The Ancient Medical Treasure, there is a treatment called the Soul Nourishing Needle, and with the help of the Soul Reviving Pill, it can restore the Three Souls and Seven Spirits."

"I will perform the Soul Nourishing Needle technique. Now all we need to figure out is the Soul Reviving Pill, and we’ll have a chance to save Xiao Yan."

"I have the alchemical formula for the Soul Reviving Pill, and most of the required herbs can be found, but the Nine-Turned Soul Jade and the Immortal Soul Spring, I’ve only seen illustrations in The Ancient Medical Treasure and have never seen the actual substances."

At that thought, Qin Chuan felt like he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Without the Nine-Turned Soul Jade and the Immortal Soul Spring, the Soul Reviving Pill couldn’t be concocted.

Without the Soul Reviving Pill, how could he save Song Yan?

"Big Brother Qin!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far behind him.

Qin Chuan looked back to see Tang Yue’er, whom he had just persuaded to leave, had returned.

"Big Brother Qin, don’t be angry. I was a bit worried about you and Song Yan, so I came back."

Tang Yue’er looked at Qin Chuan with worry on her face and then hurriedly added, "Don’t rush to send me away yet—I might be able to help Song Yan."

Qin Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Do you have a way?"

Tang Yue’er shook her head, saying timidly, "Isn’t my Celestial Yin Energy helpful to you? I want to try it and see if it might help Song Yan as well."

Upon hearing Tang Yue’er’s words, Qin Chuan’s expression immediately dimmed. Celestial Yin Energy was helpful to him because it could help suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison in his body, but for others, Celestial Yin Energy was practically useless.

Seeing Qin Chuan’s spirits falter, Tang Yue’er carefully suggested, "Should I give it a try?"

Looking into Tang Yue’er’s eyes, filled with hope and innocence, Qin Chuan eventually nodded.

Although he had thought of a way to save Song Yan, given her current condition, she would not survive long enough for him to find the heavenly and earthly treasures needed to concoct the Soul Reviving Pill.

Even though he felt that Celestial Yin Energy would be of no use to Song Yan, he was still willing to give it a try.

Seeing Qin Chuan agree, Tang Yue’er stepped forward, gently took Song Yan’s hand, and began to channel her Celestial Yin Energy into Song Yan’s body.

Soon, Tang Yue’er’s complexion visibly paled at a remarkable rate, with a fine layer of sweat blossoming on her forehead.

However, there was no reaction from Song Yan; clearly, the Celestial Yin Energy was not helping.

"Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry!"

After depleting her Celestial Yin Energy completely, Tang Yue’er could only give up, her face full of apology.

She truly wanted to help Qin Chuan, but she was unable to offer any assistance. Instead, she had only given Qin Chuan hope before leading him to disappointment.

Qin Chuan saw Tang Yue’er’s guilt. He reached out, rubbed her head, and forced a smile as he said, "Don’t blame yourself!"

If there was blame, it was only on himself.

Witnessing Qin Chuan’s strained smile made Tang Yue’er’s guilt deepen. For some reason, seeing Qin Chuan in pain made her feel even worse than him.

"Big Brother Qin, do you have a way to save Song Yan, but due to some irresistible factors, you’re unable to administer aid?"

Tang Yue’er suddenly asked.

Qin Chuan nodded, not hiding anything, but instead shared the matter of the Soul Reviving Pill.

Tang Yue’er’s eyes lit up, and she asked with some excitement, "If we can keep Song Yan’s life from slipping away now, and wait until you find the heavenly and earthly treasures necessary to concoct the Soul Reviving Pill, then you’ll have a way to cure Song Yan?"

Seeing Qin Chuan nod, Tang Yue’er hurriedly said, "Use the Blood Bead!"

Qin Chuan thought of something and was overjoyed, "The Blood Bead?"

Tang Yue’er nodded and quickly explained, "The Blood Bead is known as the source of all poisons, extremely toxic, but it can preserve a corpse for a thousand years without decay. Hence, many of the Imperial Family have used it for burials."

"My grandfather found the Blood Bead precisely to prevent my life from slipping away. I guess, if the Blood Bead is placed inside Song Yan, it certainly could keep her alive, right?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Chuan burst into joy, lifted Tang Yue’er, and spun her around, excitedly saying, "You’re right—the Blood Bead indeed can keep Xiao Yan’s life from slipping away."

As long as Song Yan’s life could be maintained, once he found the heavenly and earthly treasures needed to concoct the Soul Reviving Pill, he would be able to cure Song Yan.

The key was, the Blood Bead was inside his body.

"But..."

Looking at the overjoyed Qin Chuan, Tang Yue’er was also very pleased, but thinking about the Blood Bead currently inside Qin Chuan’s body, she began to worry for him.

Eventually, Tang Yue’er voiced her concern, "You’ve only just managed to suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison inside you. If you take the Blood Bead out now, what if the Kunlun Divine Poison erupts again?"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, there’s not much remaining Kunlun Divine Poison in my body. Even without the Blood Bead’s help to suppress it, with my current strength, I can keep the remaining Kunlun Divine Poison suppressed."

His physical body had reached the strength of the Sovereign Realm. What waves could the remaining Kunlun Divine Poison possibly stir up?

Tang Yue’er knew she couldn’t stop Qin Chuan from extracting the Blood Bead and could only say, "Then you wait just a little longer, wait for me to recover the Celestial Yin Energy, then you can take out the Blood Bead."

She had already poured all the Celestial Yin Energy in her body into Song Yan and would only be able to help when Qin Chuan needed Celestial Yin Energy to suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison, after she had fully recovered.

However, Qin Chuan couldn’t wait any longer. He shook his head, glanced at the dying Song Yan, and said gravely, "Xiao Yan ended up like this trying to save me. If we delay any further, I fear Xiao Yan won’t hold on."

Having said that, he immediately operated the Great Mysterious True Scripture, and a powerful aura, like a big hand, gripped the Blood Bead in his Dantian.

The moment this aura engulfed the Blood Bead, it became instantly violent, crashing wildly within Qin Chuan’s Dantian.

"Pu!"

Qin Chuan spurted out blood and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Big Brother Qin!"

Tang Yue’er was immediately shocked and hastily stepped forward to support Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, his face ferociously saying, "A mere Blood Bead wants to rebel against me? Suppress it!"
