Qin Yichen’s words left everyone in the room momentarily stunned.
Originally, including Chairman Wen, they all thought he was merely some fellow trying his luck. Yet unexpectedly, even after understanding the situation, he still chose to take the Branch Master’s pulse.
“Young man, if you can survive this ordeal, from now on, stay by my side.” Chairman Wen said after taking a deep breath, his tone grave and sincere.
These words startled everyone once more.
Was this Chairman Wen, who had never taken Disciples, actually about to accept one?!
However, after glancing at Qin Yichen several times, they all shook their heads.
He was just a Human Grade youth, how could he possibly survive?!
Qin Yichen sat down again, then extended his palm and placed it on Master Chang’s wrist without the slightest hesitation.
Chairman Wen turned away, seemingly unable to bear witnessing the impending tragedy.
After a long while, there was still no movement. Chairman Wen froze, then turned his head to look at Qin Yichen, only to discover with astonishment that Qin Yichen appeared… completely normal?
At the same time, the others in the room also noticed this situation.
One of the powerful experts from the Gathering Space Tower wanted to step forward and inquire, but was stopped by Chairman Wen, who signalled him not to disturb them, then said in a low voice, “Close the door. Don’t let anyone enter and interrupt him!”
“Understood!” The Gathering Space Tower expert nodded, then left without returning.
The Branch Master behind the curtain also seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere on this side. He extended his hand, lifted a sliver of the curtain, and looked towards the bed.
At this moment, Qin Yichen’s palm still rested on Master Chang’s wrist, his eyes closed, his face showing no fluctuation.
Yet precisely because his face showed no fluctuation, it stirred ripples in everyone’s hearts.
Including that Branch Master!
One must understand that even at this point, under their warnings, Chairman Wen had not made contact with Master Chang.
Moreover, they had just witnessed what happened after contact.
Furthermore, those people had merely taken his pulse briefly, whereas Qin Yichen had now been at it for nearly two minutes with nothing happening.
The moment Qin Yichen’s palm touched Master Chang’s wrist, he immediately sensed a peculiar energy rampaging through Master Chang’s body.
Though he was not familiar with the fluctuation of this energy, it was not entirely foreign either. Because when opening that middle section of Liu Yun’s Shooting Star Spirit Crystal, he encountered an energy identical to what was in Master Chang’s body.
And that energy, upon contact, had drilled into his Dantian and remained silent ever since.
A trace of confusion flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes.
Logically speaking, after his body absorbed that energy, his current condition should be no different from Master Chang’s. But why had that energy in his body completely disappeared without a trace?
After sensing for a long time, he finally determined that Master Chang was on death’s door because of that energy.
Therefore, if he could expel that special energy from Master Chang’s body, he should be able to save Chairman Wen.
A moment later, Qin Yichen sensed the energy within Master Chang’s body seeping into his own body through his palm. The situation was identical to when he had cut the crystal.
Qin Yichen focused intently on that energy’s trajectory, discovering it went straight to his Dantian, then was absorbed by the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl within!
After approximately five minutes, Qin Yichen released his pulse-taking palm, exhaled, and then opened his eyes.
“How is it? Can he be saved?”
The Gathering Space Tower expert immediately stepped forward, grabbed Qin Yichen’s shoulders, and asked with nervous anticipation.
“Argh!”
Being grabbed by him, Qin Yichen felt both his arms were about to split apart, immediately grimacing in pain.
“Are you trying to murder him!?” Chairman Wen stepped forward and rebuked him irritably.
“I… I…” The expert couldn’t respond, but still looked at Qin Yichen with anticipation and nervousness.
“Well… I can’t say for certain.” Qin Yichen’s answer was somewhat hesitant. In truth, he was quite confident in his heart.
However, he still had not figured out what exactly that energy was, or why the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl absorbed it!
One must know that the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl in his body was special, containing a True Dragon Martial Soul. Though of course, it was also possible the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl sensed that energy posed a threat to Qin Yichen, and therefore absorbed it.
But one thing he could now confirm was that special energy was a great tonic for the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl within his body!
“Does that mean there’s hope for saving him?!”
The Gathering Space Tower expert cried out excitedly. As he was about to pounce on Qin Yichen again, Chairman Wen timely stopped him.
If he came at him one more time, Qin Yichen would probably be torn apart by him!
One must know, judging by the aura emanating from that expert, he should be at the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm, while Qin Yichen was merely at Martial King Realm. How could he possibly withstand such a powerful force?
“I dare not guarantee it.” Qin Yichen did not speak with absolute certainty.
Whether unexpected complications might occur was still hard to say.
Of course, most importantly, he did not want this matter to appear so easily resolved.
If he resolved it too easily, it would be easy for people to suspect he possessed some special treasure. Even if the Gathering Space Tower people harboured no ill intentions, once this matter spread, it would certainly attract the attention of various Forces.
Then, the troubles would be endless.
Qin Yichen was someone who feared trouble.
Moreover, at this moment, the more difficulty he displayed, the more at ease the Gathering Space Tower people would feel.
“Prepare some medicinal herbs. I need to refine medicine!” Qin Yichen said to the Gathering Space Tower expert. [It is time to profit from this!]
The expert glanced at the figure behind the curtain. After seeing that figure nod, he found paper and a brush and handed them to Qin Yichen.
Qin Yichen naturally wouldn’t be polite. From his memory, he wrote down various top-grade medicinal herbs that existed in the Heart Trial Territory, the brush moving swiftly across the paper.
After filling one sheet, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Then, he handed it to the Gathering Space Tower expert, who said nothing and left to prepare the medicinal herbs.
As for Chairman Wen, who was standing to one side, he watched in complete bewilderment.
Because the medicinal herbs Qin Yichen had written were all top-Grade. There was not a single one which was ordinary.
Therefore, our Chairman Wen was very confused: could the medicinal herbs written there truly be refined into Pills?!
