Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Poison Takes Effect

Just as the divine poison within Qin Chuan exploded and he fell unconscious, Song Qingshan had already mobilized all his connections, starting the search for century-old medicinal herbs.

"Dad, why are you suddenly searching for century-old medicinal herbs?"

Xia Wanrong filled Song Qingshan’s cup with tea, asking with puzzlement.

Song Qingshan did not answer the question but instead took out a white porcelain bottle with a smile, saying, "Wanrong, guess what this is?"

Receiving the porcelain bottle, Xia Wanrong opened the stopper to take a light whiff, quickly resealing it while expressing her surprise, "Such a rich medicinal fragrance!"

She continued, "Such a dense medicinal fragrance can only come from one possibility..."

Having said this, she suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Song Qingshan, asking, "Could it be that this is an elixir?"

"Haha!"

With a hearty laugh, Song Qingshan nodded and said, "Correct, this is indeed an elixir, and not just any elixir but three Marrow-Cleansing Pills!"

On Xia Wanrong’s delicate face, shock was evident: "What? Marrow-Cleansing Pills? Are they the same kind you accidentally acquired twenty years ago?"

Song Qingshan nodded, "The medicinal fragrance emanating from these three pills far surpasses that of the one I got twenty years ago, which means, the efficacy of these three pills greatly exceeds the one I acquired."

Xia Wanrong was beyond shocked. A single ordinary Marrow-Cleansing Pill had sent Song Qingshan’s martial path soaring into the skies.

Now that the Song Family possessed three even more potent Marrow-Cleansing Pills, to what heights would Song Qingshan’s strength surge?

With this thought, Xia Wanrong quickly urged, "Dad, I’ve heard that the longer elixirs are stored, the more their efficacy diminishes, so please take it quickly! Once you have taken it, your strength will surely become even greater!"

Smiling, Song Qingshan said, "Ordinary people who take the Marrow-Cleansing Pill can purge the toxins and impurities from their body, making them impervious to myriad diseases; whereas martial artists can improve their constitution, which would allow them a smooth journey on the martial path henceforth."

As he spoke, he took out a Marrow-Cleansing Pill and handed it to Xia Wanrong, saying, "Wanrong, take this Marrow-Cleansing Pill quickly!"

"Dad!"

Xia Wanrong was immediately startled and hastily declined, "I am just an ordinary person, giving it to me would be a complete waste. Please put it away before the efficacy fades."

Song Qingshan said seriously, "Wanrong, you have dedicated yourself to the Song Family for so many years. A Marrow-Cleansing Pill is the least you deserve!"

"Dad..."

Xia Wanrong was moved and wanted to refuse again, but Song Qingshan cut her off, "Wanrong, are you not going to listen to me?"

"Dad, it’s not that, I..."

Xia Wanrong suddenly became anxious and started to explain.

But before she could finish talking, Song Qingshan said, "If that’s not the case, then take it now!"

"The Song Family is about to rise, and we are in need of people. Only if you have a better constitution can you serve the Song Family better."

"If you don’t take this Marrow-Cleansing Pill, I will just throw it away."

As he pretended to dispose of it, Xia Wanrong became frantic, hastily saying, "Dad, I’ll take it right now."

Song Qingshan handed the elixir to Xia Wanrong and only after watching her take it did he reveal a hint of a smile.

"Wanrong, after taking the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, your body will undergo some changes, so you should go back to your room first."

Song Qingshan knew that after taking the pill, the body would expel toxins and impurities, so he had Xia Wanrong leave just after she had taken the pill.

"Xiao Yan already experienced the effects of Marrow-Cleansing and Body-Refining when Divine Doctor Qin treated her. With two Marrow-Cleansing Pills remaining, one is for Xiao Jie, but who should receive the other?"

Song Qingshan fell into contemplation.

As the father of Song Yan passed away at a young age, he only had Song Ao as a son. But Song Ao was undisciplined and not suitable for heavy responsibility.

To let Song Ao take the Marrow-Cleansing Pill would truly be squandering a treasure.

Ultimately, he still hadn’t decided who would receive the last Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

"Grandfather, we’re back!"

Just then, Song Yan returned with Qin Nian.

Qin Nian had changed into a whole new outfit from head to toe, all of which were bought while Song Yan took her shopping.

"Grandfather Song!"

Qin Nian called out respectfully and then asked, "Grandfather Song, has my brother gone back?"

Song Yan also glanced at Song Qingshan. She had just bought a new set of clothes herself and wanted Qin Chuan to take a look.

Song Qingshan looked at the time and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Qin is still at the Song Family. He’s busy with some matters."

As for what Qin Chuan was doing, he really wasn’t clear on the details, but he was somewhat puzzled. It had been three hours since Qin Chuan had entered the secret room, so why hadn’t he come out yet?

Although he was curious, he dared not ask.

Time ticked by, second by second, and soon another three hours passed.

Xia Wanrong looked at the time and said with a worried face, "Dad, how come Divine Doctor Qin hasn’t come out yet? Nothing bad has happened to him, has it?"

Song Qingshan shook his head, "Divine Doctor Qin is powerful and his medical skills are otherworldly. How could anything happen to him at the Song Family? Don’t worry, he must have lost track of time while cultivating."

Xia Wanrong nodded slightly, not saying anything further.

Soon, another two hours went by. It was already dark, and there was still no sign of Qin Chuan coming out of the secret room.

Xia Wanrong said with growing concern, "Dad, why don’t you go check on the secret room?"

Song Qingshan looked outside and his face grew more worried as well. He finally said, "Let’s wait a little longer!"

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to go; he was worried about disturbing Qin Chuan. If Qin Chuan was at a critical point in his cultivation and he was suddenly interrupted, the consequences could be unimaginable.

"Dad, didn’t Tang Zhonghan say he would come over to find Divine Doctor Qin this afternoon? It’s already evening; how come he hasn’t arrived?"

Xia Wanrong suddenly asked.

Song Qingshan’s brows furrowed tightly as he said in a deep voice, "Although I don’t have much of a relationship with Tang Zhonghan and it’s the first time we are dealing with each other, the word outside is that he’s a man of integrity and loyalty. He shouldn’t go back on his word. Perhaps, he was delayed by something."

Even so, he had his doubts.

With Tang Zhonghan’s strength, not many could trouble him, yet his absence was indeed strange.

However, what concerned him more at this moment was Qin Chuan.

"Grandfather, has Qin Chuan not come out yet?"

By this time, Song Yan had come to ask as well. By now, she had been back and forth five or six times.

Song Qingshan just shook his head without speaking.

Xia Wanrong suggested tentatively, "Dad, why don’t we send Xiao Yan to check on the secret room?"

Only then did Song Qingshan speak, "Fine, Xiao Yan, go take a look. But remember, if Divine Doctor Qin is busy or in the middle of cultivating, don’t disturb him under any circumstances."

Song Yan nodded quickly, "Grandfather, don’t worry, I won’t disturb him."

Soon, Song Yan arrived at the secret room.

"Why is the secret room so hot?"

As soon as the door to the secret room was opened, Song Yan felt a wave of heat hit her.

"Qin Chuan!"

She had barely taken a step forward when she saw Qin Chuan lying on the ground, and her face changed drastically.
