Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Handing Over the Blood Bead

At this moment, Qin Chuan made no movement whatsoever.

The moment Song Yan touched Qin Chuan’s body, she instinctively pulled her hand away, as an astonishing heat radiated from Qin Chuan.

"Qin Chuan, what’s happened to you? Don’t scare me like this!"

Regardless of the scalding heat from Qin Chuan’s body, Song Yan hugged him and called out loudly.

Yet, besides his elevated body temperature, Qin Chuan showed no signs of life, not even breathing or a heartbeat—it was as if they had stopped.

Seeing that Song Yan hadn’t come out for quite a while, Song Qingshan hurriedly rushed to the secret chamber, only to find Song Yan shouting loudly while administrating CPR to Qin Chuan.

Watching the barely breathing Qin Chuan, Song Qingshan’s complexion changed drastically, "Xiao Yan, what has happened to Divine Doctor Qin?"

Almost on the verge of tears, Song Yan said loudly, "He’s not breathing, and his heart isn’t beating, Grandfather, quickly call for Grandfather Luo!"

Only then did Song Qingshan regain his composure and immediately dialed Luo Changsheng’s number.

With her face streaked with tears, Song Yan thought about the very real possibility that she might never hear Qin Chuan’s voice again, and she felt as if her heart was shattering.

Crying out, she yelled, "Qin Chuan, I beg you, stop sleeping, get up, please get up!"

Twenty minutes later, Luo Changsheng and Sun Xiuyun arrived together at the Song Family residence.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan in the secret chamber, the two elders exchanged a glance, both with expressions of panic.

"Grandfather Luo, please treat Qin Chuan quickly!"

Seeing that Luo Changsheng did not move, Song Yan urged him.

Luo Changsheng said with a mournful face, "He has been poisoned, and with a rare, strange poison at that!"

"Poisoned?"

Song Qingshan looked stunned, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went to check the three century-old spiritual plants he had given to Qin Chuan.

Upon seeing the empty wooden box, his eyes widened in shock, and he hastily said, "Old Luo, this has happened to Divine Doctor Qin only after he consumed the three hundred-year-old medicinal herbs."

Luo Changsheng quickly asked, "What exactly did he consume?"

Song Qingshan responded, "Ginseng, Ganoderma, and Snow Lotus, and they were all more than a century old."

Luo Changsheng’s eyebrows were tightly knitted as he said with a deep voice, "All three of these herbs are greatly nourishing, and even taken together, they should not cause poisoning."

"Previously at my home, he had a similar situation to now, except that at that time he still had a faint heartbeat and breath. But now, his breathing and heartbeat are almost imperceptible."

"Back then, after I failed in treatment, Xiu Yun cured Qin Chuan with an ancestral Detoxification Pill. I assumed that the pill had completely eliminated the strange poison in his body, but it seems that it has not."

Hearing Luo Changsheng’s words, Song Yan immediately turned to Sun Xiuyun and said urgently, "Granny Sun, do you have any more Detoxification Pills? I’m willing to pay any price! Please save Qin Chuan."

Sun Xiuyun, with her eyes brimming with tears, said, "Foolish child, if I had it, I would definitely save Xiao Chuan. That Detoxification Pill is my family’s heirloom and there was only one, which had already been given to Qin Chuan."

Song Yan instantly felt a sense of despair. Was there really no way to save Qin Chuan?

Just then, Xia Wanrong suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps, there is still a method that might save Divine Doctor Qin!"

At that statement, everyone’s eyes turned to her in unison.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Song Yan asked anxiously, "Mother, what method do you have?"

Xia Wanrong said calmly, "When Divine Doctor Qin learned that Tang Zhonghan had the Blood Bead, he was very agitated. At that time, Xiao Yan also asked him if the Blood Bead was useful to him; he just didn’t answer."

"I’ve seen an introduction about the Blood Bead in ancient texts before. It is also known as the origin of all poisons, with extremely strong toxicity. It can preserve a corpse for a thousand years without decay, which is why many royals used it for burial."

"Uncle Luo just said that Divine Doctor Qin was afflicted with a peculiar poison, and he was very excited after learning about the Blood Bead. So, I guess that Divine Doctor Qin needs the Blood Bead to suppress the strange poison in his body."

One had to admit that Xia Wanrong was very smart; her guesses were almost all correct.

If Qin Chuan could hear what Xia Wanrong was saying, he would definitely give her a big thumbs up.

After hearing Xia Wanrong’s words, everyone’s face showed a look of anticipation.

"Mom, didn’t you say that the Blood Bead has strong toxicity? And since Qin Chuan is already afflicted by a strange poison, how can the Blood Bead suppress the poison in his body?"

Song Yan asked, full of confusion.

Xia Wanrong looked at Luo Changsheng and said, "Uncle Luo, if two equally toxic poisons were to meet, could there be a phenomenon of using poison to combat poison?"

Luo Changsheng’s eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "Wanrong’s guess is not wrong. There is indeed such a thing as using poison to attack poison. Since Qin Chuan wants to obtain the Blood Bead, he must use this method to suppress the strange poison in his body."

After hearing his words, everyone was excited, finally knowing how to save Qin Chuan.

All of a sudden, Xia Wanrong added, "However, Tang Zhonghan promised to meet Divine Doctor Qin this afternoon, but it’s already evening and he hasn’t come. If it’s not because something happened to him, then he has broken his promise."

Song Qingshan’s gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilly voice, "Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find Tang Zhonghan!"

After speaking, he turned and left the secret room. Before leaving, he said to Luo Changsheng, "Old Luo, you must find a way to preserve Divine Doctor Qin’s life, at least until I find Tang Zhonghan."

Luo Changsheng assured him, "I will give it my all!"

After Song Qingshan left the secret room, he issued an order to search for Tang Zhonghan. In no time, everyone in Jiangcheng City was looking for Tang Zhonghan.

Because Song Qingshan directly offered a reward of one hundred million, which was a huge sum.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Jiangcheng City.

The Tang Zhonghan that Song Qingshan was offering a reward of one hundred million for, carrying his granddaughter, was on the run.

And behind them, a group of people were closely following.

At the forefront was a crane-haired elder dressed in Tang attire, radiating a strong aura, his steps incredibly light.

Strangely, in the pouring rain, his clothes remained dry. On closer inspection, one would notice a transparent shell, about five to six centimeters thick, around his body that repelled the rainwater.

Clearly, this was a display of aura, a sign of an Energizing Skill Grandmaster!

Following the Master of Crane-haired were five or six knife-wielding martial artists, ferociously chasing after Tang Zhonghan.

Just then, Tang Zhonghan was blocked by a fast-flowing river, which he could have easily crossed if not for carrying his granddaughter.

The crane-haired elder and his group caught up, and said to Tang Zhonghan, "Tang Zhonghan, you can’t escape. Hand over the Blood Bead, and we might spare your life!"

Killing intent flickered in Tang Zhonghan’s eyes as he scanned the group fiercely and said through clenched teeth, "Without the Blood Bead, my granddaughter’s life will be cut off. You want the Blood Bead, that means you want my granddaughter’s life."

The crane-haired elder said coldly, "Tang Zhonghan, you can hardly save yourself, let alone your granddaughter. Hand over the Blood Bead, and there may still be a slim chance of survival for you and your granddaughter. If you don’t hand it over, I will send you on your way right now."

As his words fell, a powerful martial aura burst forth from his body.
