Chapter 419: Chapter 417: The Solution (4th Update)

”Things have gotten complicated. Based on the development of the Nine Yin Xuan Vein, the initial onset of the disease should occur at twenty, and then gradually intensify. Tingting is already twenty-two, and if we can’t find the Xuanyin Decision, she absolutely won’t live past twenty-five.”

Lu Tianxing’s complexion turned unsightly. Although those with the Nine Yin Xuan Vein are born with a rare talent for cultivation, able to achieve in a few years what ordinary people can’t in decades,

there is a saying that what is gained must be lost. The Nine Yin Xuan Vein can indeed allow one to reach realms unattainable to ordinary people in the shortest time, but it also comes with fatal danger. It begins to erupt in the bearer at the age of twenty, and while each eruption is not life-threatening, the suffering is unbearable for an ordinary person, getting worse each time until after five years, at the age of twenty-five, it fully erupts, freezing the bearer into an ice block.

The only solution is to cultivate a cold-attributed cultivation technique to guide and refine this cold energy into one’s own strength, and so far, the only technique that can truly solve this is the Xuanyin Decision.

”Lu Tianxing, why aren’t you saying anything? What’s wrong with Tingting? If it’s really serious, let’s transfer her to a hospital abroad immediately for treatment.”

Bai Zhiqing, seeing Lu Tianxing’s ever-changing expressions, felt her heart lurch. Having spent time with Yue Tingting, she had come to see her as her own little sister. Although Lu Tianxing hadn’t said a word so far, his silence was exactly what made it even more heart-wrenching.

”Lu Tianxing, is it a matter of money? How much would it cost to treat Tingting’s illness?” Bai Zhiqing asked anxiously.

”Wife, it’s not a matter of money; it’s Tingting’s own body constitution that’s the problem.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head. If it was an illness, that would be easier to handle. The Netherworld Mercenary Corps lacked nothing but money. The key issue was that Yue Tingting’s illness was caused by her own bloodline constitution, and even a blood transfusion would be futile. Her body would regenerate the Nine Yin Xuan Vein on its own.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s brows slightly furrowed as she continued to inquire, ”A body constitution issue? What exactly does that mean? Can’t even the top doctors cure it?”

”Tingting’s condition is caused by a bloodline constitution in her body known as the Nine Yin Xuan Vein.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing; there was no point in hiding the matter.

”A bloodline issue?”

Bai Zhiqing’s face was full of confusion. What was this Nine Yin Xuan Vein that she had never heard of before—she knew about leukemia, though.

”Have you seen the TV series ’Storm Riders’? Do you know Nie Feng?”

”Yes, I do. What about it? Is it related to Tingting’s illness?”

”The Nine Yin Xuan Vein in Tingting’s body is quite similar to the Frenzy Blood in Nie Feng’s body. They both have a similar ingenuity, but the only difference is Nie Feng can expel the Frenzy Blood through a blood transfusion, but Tingting can’t. To cure Tingting, we would have to find a martial arts cultivation technique for her to refine the Nine Yin Xuan Vein in her body; otherwise, she won’t live past twenty-five.”

”What did you say? Won’t live past twenty-five? Lu Tianxing, you’re not joking, are you?”

Bai Zhiqing’s face drastically changed as she said urgently, ”What do we do then? Are we just going to watch as Tingting fades away? Wait, Lu Tianxing, didn’t you say you’re a martial artist? Then why not teach her your cultivation technique?”

”Mine won’t work; the cultivation technique I practice isn’t suitable for Tingting.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and gave a bitter smile. If his technique were suitable for Yue Tingting to cultivate, he would have taught her already, but it wasn’t suitable. Just now, when he tried using True Qi to examine Yue Tingting’s body, he encountered a strong rejection. If he hadn’t withdrawn quickly, Yue Tingting might have even been injured because of it.

”Isn’t there any other way?”

”Yes, we found a cultivation technique that can refine the Nine Yin Xuan Veins, but such techniques are exceedingly rare. Even if they exist, they are treasures of various families and not shown to outsiders easily. We simply cannot find any.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head. The Xuanyin Decision, the legacy cultivation technique of the Xuanyin Valley, was considered the most compatible with the Nine Yin Xuan Veins. Regrettably, the Xuanyin Decision had long vanished without a trace and couldn’t be found. Other techniques could at most suppress the Nine Yin Xuan Veins, but the more they were suppressed, the more lethal they became. Once they could no longer be suppressed, the final outcome was death without a place to be buried.

”Besides this, is there no other way?” Bai Zhiqing asked again, unwilling to give up.

”There is. That is to find the Xuanyin Decision or another cultivation technique that can replace it by the time Tingting turns twenty-five. Then we can resolve this crisis. If we can’t find one...”

Lu Tianxing stopped there, not continuing his words, but the implication was clear: if they couldn’t find it, Yue Tingting’s twenty-fifth birthday would be her death date.

Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and said, ”Let’s go in and see Tingting first!”

Lu Tianxing nodded, pushed open the door to the sickroom, and walked inside.

At that moment, Yue Tingting was lying on the hospital bed with a sweet smile, constantly comforting her parents. However, anyone with clear sight could tell that all of this was nothing but a forced cheerfulness to hide her sadness from others.

This was a foolish girl, preferring to suffer herself rather than see the people around her in pain.

”Sister Zhiqing, you came too.”

Seeing Bai Zhiqing walk in, Yue Tingting hurriedly tried to sit up, with a faint smile also appearing on her face.

”Don’t move around, don’t move around, just lie down.”

Seeing Yue Tingting’s movements, Bai Zhiqing was startled and quickly went forward to press her back down onto the bed, not allowing her to move.

”Sister Zhiqing, I’m sorry for making you worry,” Yue Tingting said to Bai Zhiqing.

”It’s okay, you’re Tianxing’s sister, and also my sister. It’s only right for me to come and see you,” Bai Zhiqing responded while looking at Yue Tingting. ”Tingting, you don’t need to worry too much. Just focus on recovering. Leave everything else to Lu Tianxing and me. Besides, your Brother Lu has already said that we will definitely be able to cure your illness.”

”What did you say, Mr. Bai, are you serious? Is there still hope for Tingting’s illness?”

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, the parents of Yue Tingting looked at her with excited eyes. They were almost completely despairing, having taken Tingting to the hospital where the doctors were utterly helpless with her condition, even issuing several critical condition notices until Yue Tingting recovered on her own.

This wasn’t the first time this had happened; there had been several such incidents before, although none as severe as today’s. They had even taken Yue Tingting to various hospitals for examinations, but the doctors could not diagnose any problems, thinking it was just a cold and never paying much attention, never expecting such a violent outbreak this time around, nearly costing Yue Tingting her life.

Moreover, in very blunt terms, the doctors told them that with current medical knowledge, it was almost impossible to determine the exact nature of Yue Tingting’s illness, let alone find a cure. However, this illness was highly likely to recur, and if it did, it might endanger Yue Tingting’s life. If that weren’t the case, they wouldn’t have had such an intense reaction to Bai Zhiqing’s words.
