Chapter 994: Zirong’s Deep Affection
"Indeed poisoned, indeed poisoned." Zirong gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling slightly.Huayue and Jiang Yuzhe stood by his side, one on the left and one on the right, looking at Zirong with a worried expression.
"Doctor Sun, now that it’s confirmed that Miss Yu is indeed poisoned, do you have a way to detoxify her?" Han Yan looked at Doctor Sun with anticipation.
Zirong and Huayue also turned their heads, their eyes filled with the same hope.
"Well... I’m afraid I am powerless." Doctor Sun hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke frankly.
Having witnessed the methods of Ye Lanfeng and Han Yan, he dared not consider himself a renowned physician of the Capital.
"Doctor Sun, please think of a way. If you can save her, I will reward you greatly," Han Yan pleaded sincerely. She had not been in the Capital long, had no understanding of the medical field, and even if she sought help from Ji Gaoxian or Shen Moce, it would be like asking for carpentry from a blacksmith. She could only rely on Doctor Sun.
"Doctor Sun, please save my lady," Zirong pleaded desperately. Although Yu Qingwan had not yet married him, he was deeply in love with her and had long regarded her as his wife. As he spoke, he was about to kneel and plead.
"What are you doing, get up, get up." Seeing Zirong’s deep affection for Yu Qingwan, Doctor Sun was moved and quickly helped him up, saying, "It’s not that I refuse to help, but because my skills are inadequate, I am indeed powerless."
"Then, do you know anyone who can cure this poison and might help us?" Han Yan continued.
If it were another doctor, even if they were powerless, they would probably not admit it directly but rather evade. Doctor Sun candidly acknowledged his lack of skill, which impressed Han Yan, making her see him in a new light. She understood Doctor Sun’s good nature and believed he would honestly inform them if asked directly.
"Young Master Mu, since you all hold me in such high regard, I will speak frankly. As far as I know, the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder has no antidote, and more importantly, this poison might not even be the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder but a more potent toxin. Among the famous physicians I know, none can cure it," Doctor Sun said after a moment’s hesitation.
"What, you say it’s incurable?" Zirong’s body swayed as if all his strength had been drained, his face turning ashen.
Han Yan’s brows furrowed deeply; if Yu Qingwan couldn’t be saved, Zirong might be utterly devastated, and without saving her, where would they find Uncle Yun and Mu Sha’s whereabouts? Time was so pressing, even if she rushed back to the Capital to see her grandfather, Uncle Yun and the others were likely in grave danger.
Han Yan didn’t doubt Doctor Sun’s words, having quickly discerned that his temperament was completely different from that of Ji Gaoxian and others.
He had some pride as a physician, but he was never blindly arrogant, spoke with discretion, and would never make hasty conclusions.
Huayue and the others supported Zirong; their expressions were equally somber, uncertain how to comfort him.
"You, young sir, must not be overly worried. From my observation, the innate power within Miss Yu is extremely mysterious. It seems gentle like water, yet it holds infinite potential. Maybe it can neutralize the toxins and turn danger into safety," Doctor Sun said, unable to bear the sight.
Though his words were comforting, everyone knew it was merely consolation.
Han Yan, even less, took his comfort to heart. According to her analysis, the poison was intended to extract Yu Qingwan’s inner strength, leaving her no chance to neutralize it.
Staring at the beautiful yet haggard face of coma-stricken Yu Qingwan, Han Yan shuddered at the thought of her condition worsening due to the poison.
No, it’s unacceptable to watch her perish. We must find a way to save her.
More importantly, only she knows the Guiyu Clan’s hiding place. If she isn’t revived soon, seeing her grandfather again would also be futile.
Han Yan pondered bitterly; she had met many Hidden Cultivation experts in her past life and heard numerous tales. If she carefully recalled, perhaps she could find a way to save her.
"I have it!" Rapid thoughts led Han Yan to a sudden insight.
"I might have a viable method," Qu Shanling’s voice resonated at the door just as Han Yan opened her mouth.
"Master Qu, you’ve arrived. Earlier, I was preoccupied with Mu Nan and Miss Yu’s situation and had no time to visit you, apologies," Han Yan looked up, apologetically addressing him.
Her Cold Sky Sword’s swift ascension to a Divine Artifact owed much to Qu Shanling’s effort. She was remiss in not thanking him immediately due to concerns over Yu Qingwan.
"Young sir, you’re too formal. Let’s discuss the important matter first. As for the poison affecting Miss Yu, I’ve heard of a method that might save her," unbothered, Qu Shanling waved his hand seriously.
"Master Qu, what’s the method? Hurry and tell us," Zirong regained his vigor at once, eagerly grasping Qu Shanling’s arm.
"Have you heard of the Bone Marrow Transplantation Technique?" Qu Shanling asked.
"Bone Marrow Transplantation!" Hearing his question, Huayue and the others were unresponsive, evidently unfamiliar, but Doctor Sun’s expression stiffened.
"What is the Bone Marrow Transplantation Technique?" Zirong, noting Doctor Sun’s strange demeanor, frowned and asked.
"Young Master Mu, earlier, it seemed you had a thought. Why don’t you share it first?" Doctor Sun redirected, not answering directly, and asked Han Yan instead.
"What I thought of is also this method," Han Yan replied, with a wry smile.
Zirong and the others noticed Doctor Sun’s unusual expression but didn’t know what he was apprehensive about. Han Yan was fully aware of the risks of the Bone Marrow Transplantation Technique; it might save Yu Qingwan, but the risk was exceedingly high.
"Bone Marrow Transplantation is actually simple: sever all of Miss Yu’s meridians, but not completely, like a lotus root with thread-like connections. This includes the energy sea. In this way, the toxins in her body become isolated and can be drawn out one by one. After eliminating all residual toxins, elixirs are used to reshape the meridians and energy sea." Seeing Zirong’s unwavering gaze, Han Yan explained calmly.
Although Han Yan spoke lightly, Huayue and others gasped in horror after hearing her.
If one truly severed all meridians and energy sea, even a Sword Master Realm expert would face life-threatening peril. Even if they survived by a stroke of luck, they’d be gravely injured with ruined cultivation. Yu Qingwan, having no cultivation, would surely perish.
