Chapter 444: Chapter 444: The Method to Save Xu Yourong_1

"If you wish to live, it’s not impossible, but I need to ensure your loyalty with a safeguard."

Having said this coldly, Ning Fan raised his hand and released four streams of Spiritual Power, each shooting into the foreheads of the four Great Elders.

"If any of you harbour the slightest ill intent towards me and Miss Xu, or Aunt Yuan and Miss Hua, I can claim your lives at any moment!"

After Ning Fan finished speaking, with a thought, he remotely controlled the Spiritual Power within the four elders’ brains from afar.

The four Great Elders immediately clutched their heads, in unbearable agony.

"We wouldn’t dare! We wouldn’t dare!"

"Mr. Ning, we were wrong, we will never betray you again!"

Only then did Ning Fan wave his hand, allowing the four to stand up.

This disturbance was instigated by Wan Hualiu.

He had just killed Hua Wanliu, and including the previously dead Elder Shi, out of the nine Great Elders of Myriad Flowers Valley, he had killed five.

He didn’t want to kill the remaining four.

After all, Myriad Flowers Valley was somewhat connected to his mother, and Yuan Hongmian and Hua Nishang had helped him before.

Next, Ning Fan instructed the four Great Elders to handle the aftermath, while he himself stayed by Xu Yourong’s side.

At this time, Xu Yourong’s body had started to become somewhat mechanical and stiff, but the pained expression on her face indicated that her consciousness was still struggling desperately.

Ning Fan watched her with a heart full of pain; he infused Spiritual Power to help Xu Yourong, but the effects of the Flower Servant Elixir were too strange, and even Spiritual Power was unable to have any effect.

The poison of the Passionflower struck again, like repeated hammer blows battering his heart.

"Aunt Yuan, Miss Xu is a very important woman to me. She has been force-fed the Flower Servant Elixir, and she’s about to become a complete Flower Servant. Please, save her!"

Ning Fan endured the pain of the Passionflower’s poison, his eyes red, as he spoke in a deep voice.

Yuan Hongmian by now had also understood Xu Yourong’s condition and said in a somber tone, "Indeed, there is no antidote for the Flower Servant Elixir. Everyone in the past who took it fell victim to becoming a Flower Servant..."

"But the Flower Servant Elixir itself is not an evil concoction. It was developed by a lovelorn Elder of Myriad Flowers Valley a century ago whose wife was seriously injured by powerful enemies, beyond help by medicine or legendary doctors, on the verge of death."

"In his agony and madness, he created the Flower Servant Elixir, intending that even if his wife died, she could still accompany him like a living person..."

"Afterward, Myriad Flowers Valley strictly restricted the use of the Flower Servant Elixir, allowing it only for terminally ill patients on the verge of death who took it voluntarily..."

"However, three years ago, after Hua Wanliu murdered my husband and me, he started to use the elixir recklessly, even resorting to coercion and deceit, forcing people to take the Flower Servant Elixir and become Flower Servants..."

Through Yuan Hongmian’s account, Ning Fan now understood that there was nothing wrong with the Flower Servant Elixir itself; the wrong lay in the person who used it, Hua Wanliu.

"But does that mean I can only watch helplessly as Miss Xu’s consciousness is erased by the Elixir, turning her into a mindless Flower Servant?" Ning Fan said in despair.

If that were the case, what would be the difference between Xu Yourong and someone who had died?

A body without consciousness is no longer Xu Yourong!

"At this point, there is no way to reverse the effects of the elixir, but to delay its effects, there is still a method," Yuan Hongmian spoke again.

"What method? Please tell me, Aunt Yuan," Ning Fan urged anxiously.

"The Wannian Xuanbing at the bottom of Cold Ice Pool!"

Yuan Hongmian uttered a few words.

"Wannian Xuanbing?" Ning Fan was startled.

"Yes, the Wannian Xuanbing could slow down the effects of the Flower Servant Elixir... Actually, it should slow down any medicinal effects, as well as injuries or illnesses," Yuan Hongmian elaborated slowly.

After living in the valley at the bottom of Cold Ice Pool for three years, she, having nothing to occupy her time, had dived into the depths and experimented numerous times. By coming into close contact with Wannian Xuanbing, it could freeze the effects of medicines, injuries, and diseases.

"I see."

Ning Fan nodded in understanding. The effects of Wannian Xuanbing were similar to the cryogenic hibernation from those science fiction movies.

Except, Wannian Xuanbing didn’t induce hibernation, but instead froze the effects of elixirs and healed injuries and diseases, which was even more miraculous than the hibernation technology in those science fiction films.

"But isn’t it dangerous to come into close contact with Wannian Xuanbing?" Ning Fan frowned again.

He had experienced the chill of the Wannian Xuanbing; Hua Nishang almost died from its cold air by accident.

How could Xu Yourong safely come into contact with it?

However, with time pressing and no other options in mind, Ning Fan had no choice but to carry Xu Yourong, following Yuan Hongmian and Hua Nishang once more, to the valley at the bottom of Cold Ice Pool.

After settling Xu Yourong in a wooden hut, Yuan Hongmian led Ning Fan to dive into the depths of Cold Ice Pool towards the Wannian Xuanbing.

With their strengths, holding their breath underwater for a while was not an issue.

The depth of the pool reached several hundred meters, and at this depth, darkness blanketed everything, where even one’s hand couldn’t be seen before the face.

But at the very bottom in a corner, one could make out a glowing stone.

That was the Wannian Xuanbing.
