Chapter 455: Chapter 455 The Order is Incorrect

Qin Chuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his gaze fixed intently on the Great Elder.

The Great Elder was very excited as well, wasn’t he?

The medicinal materials required for refining the Soul Reviving Pill were very common and Qin Chuan could easily gather them, but the Immortal Soul Spring and Nine-Turned Soul Jade were treasures that one could encounter but not seek.

If he could obtain them from the Great Elder, it would undoubtedly be an enormous stroke of luck.

"Someone!"

The Great Elder called out, and a middle-aged martial artist hurried over.

The middle-aged martial artist said, "Great Elder, what are your orders?"

At the same time, he stole a glance at Qin Chuan, as it was his first time seeing the Great Elder bring an outsider here.

The Great Elder asked, "Immediately search for the Immortal Soul Spring and Nine-Turned Soul Jade, these two heavenly treasures. If we have them here, bring them to me at once; if not, then activate our external forces to search the entire world without regard to the cost!"

The middle-aged martial artist was stunned, wondering what sort of heavenly treasures would compel the Great Elder to issue such an order.

The middle-aged martial artist quickly responded, "Yes!"

After he left, the Great Elder looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, shall I take you on a brief tour?"

Qin Chuan nodded, curious about this underground base.

"This place is specially used to store heavenly treasures and various precious medicinal materials. Besides this, we also have several other bases, just not here. Otherwise, I would definitely take you to see the other bases."

The Great Elder spoke as he walked.

Clearly, some things involved greater secrets and were not convenient to tell Qin Chuan.

"No, no, something must have gone wrong; otherwise, why would it fail again?"

Just then, a doubtful voice suddenly came from a room nearby.

The Great Elder led Qin Chuan inside and saw several elders in white lab coats gathered around an experiment table, with several kinds of medicinal materials also placed on it.

On the table, there was also a small white mouse with an external wound, its belly smeared with a bit of dark brown ointment.

The small white mouse was still breathing weakly, seeming as though the ointment had no effect on its external wound. On the contrary, the wound on the white mouse appeared to have worsened.

"It’s dead!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and everyone realized that the white mouse, which had been alive before the ointment was applied, had died so quickly after the application.

"We made the ointment strictly according to the ancient prescription, how could it have failed?"

"Do you think the ancient prescription could be flawed?"

"How is that possible? This ancient prescription was discovered in Hua Tuo’s ancient tomb; it definitely couldn’t be wrong. Moreover, we have analyzed it: an ointment made according to the ancient prescription should certainly be effective in healing wounds."

"Then what exactly went wrong in the process, leading to our failure again?"

...

For a moment, the elderly white-haired doctors began speaking one after the other.

Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting to find traditional Chinese medicine being researched here.

The Great Elder suddenly said, "Thank you all for your hard work!"

"Great Elder!"

Seeing the Great Elder, the doctors were very surprised.

"Great Elder, we’re sorry, we failed again!"

The leading elder stepped forward, his eyes red as he looked at the Great Elder, his face full of guilt.

"We have consumed so many precious medicinal materials and yet failed to produce a Blood Coagulation Ointment that can quickly stop bleeding; we have let down the trust of the Battle Domain."

"Great Elder, we’re sorry, we are the sinners of Shen Zhou!"

"Great Elder, we really have no face to continue our research."

...

For a time, everyone began to speak, and each face was filled with deep remorse.

The Great Elder smiled bitterly, shook his head, swept his gaze over everyone, and then looked at the leading old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and said, "Elder Yuan, you’re exaggerating, isn’t research always like this? Just because it hasn’t succeeded now doesn’t mean it won’t succeed in the future."

"You don’t need to worry so much. Just feel free to carry on with your research on the Blood Coagulation Ointment, I guarantee there will be enough medicinal materials supplied!"

Elder Yuan replied with a dim expression, "Great Elder, it isn’t that we want to give up, but this experiment was the last viable solution, and this failure has only two possible reasons: either the prescription for the Blood Coagulation Ointment is wrong, or our skills are insufficient."

"It can’t be the prescription that’s wrong, so it must be that our skills aren’t enough. To continue researching would be futile."

The Great Elder suddenly fell silent. He had not expected this experiment to be the last one.

The research on the Blood Coagulation Ointment was very important for the Battle Domain. A failure could be a huge blow to the entire Battle Domain.

Just then, a young voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears, "When you concoct the ointment, if you add the medicinal materials in this order, you might succeed."

The Great Elder’s eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Qin Chuan standing in front of the experiment table with surprise on his face.

At that moment, more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials had already been laid out in order on the experiment table.

Elder Yuan suddenly became furious and yelled, "How audacious! Who allowed you to look at the prescription?"

The others also stared at Qin Chuan with angry faces.

Qin Chuan was taken aback and then put the prescription down on the table, immediately saying, "Sorry!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, carrying Song Yan with him.

He didn’t offer any explanations. He had only spoken up because he felt that so many old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners had spent so long on this research, which wasn’t easy, and he admired their selfless dedication, which was why he had pointed out the issue.

Having done what he felt he should do, whether or not they wanted to listen was not for him to decide.

"You stop right there!"

Seeing Qin Chuan about to leave after looking at the prescription, Elder Yuan became even more furious, "Everything here is confidential, especially the ancient prescription for the Blood Coagulation Ointment—it’s the most secret of secrets. You looked at the ancient prescription without permission."

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, looking displeased as he said, "It’s just an outdated hemostatic prescription; I’ve seen it, so what can you do to me?"

"You, you..."

Elder Yuan pointed at Qin Chuan’s nose, trembling with rage.

The prescription they had obtained with such difficulty was being called outdated by Qin Chuan, which was an insult to them.

If they couldn’t understand an outdated prescription, what were they if not failures?

Just as the situation was about to escalate, the Great Elder quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Qin Chuan and said to Elder Yuan and the others, "Gentlemen, please calm your anger. Mr. Qin meant no harm. He is a distinguished guest of the Battle Domain. Please, for my sake, don’t hold this against him."

An old man said with full sarcasm, "Great Elder, it seems you’ve also become senile, to consider such a young man a distinguished guest of the Battle Domain?"

The Great Elder looked helpless. Although he was the Great Elder, these people were heroes who had willingly chosen to stay here for the Battle Domain, and he really had no way to deal with these heroes.

The Great Elder said with a grimace, "If you say I am senile then so be it. Elder Yuan, please do me a favor and let everyone disperse."

"Humph!"

Elder Yuan said coldly, "For the sake of the Great Elder, I won’t take issue with you."

Only then did the crowd make way, while the Great Elder hastily pulled Qin Chuan away, fearing another confrontation.

"Mr. Qin, I am very sorry about these fellows..."

Qin Chuan shook his head before he could finish explaining, with an indifferent look on his face, he said, "It’s nothing, I can understand."

After speaking, he asked, "There should be some news about the Immortal Soul Spring and the Nine-Turned Soul Jade now, right?"
