97: Chapter 97 Extending Life

Yuan Chen led the group into the reception hall.

Zixia and Clan Chief Ming Jing were also well-acquainted.

Although she had some doubts, Clan Chief Ming Jing did not ask questions indiscriminately.

She merely cast a puzzled glance toward Zixia.

However, Zixia kept her gaze fixed straight ahead, not even sparing the other a single glance.

In the end, Clan Chief Ming Jing could only turn her head away helplessly.

"Let's discuss the matter at hand first!"

She had already introduced her identity to Yuan Chen earlier.

After sitting down, she didn't beat around the bush and directly explained the purpose of their visit.

"This illness..." Yuan Chen pondered.

Seeing Yuan Chen's reaction, Ming Yong and Clan Chief Ming Jing held their breath simultaneously.

If Yuan Chen had no solution, then they would have made the long journey for nothing again.

Even their daughter's body could barely withstand such a long journey.

Besides the two of them, Ming Xin also curiously sized up Yuan Chen.

"Is this the expert who is going to treat me?"

But looking at the situation, he didn't seem special at all!

Not to mention anything else, his cultivation level was simply too low.

While Ming Xin was looking at Yuan Chen, Yuan Chen also shifted his gaze to the young girl.

Although called a young girl, she was actually several hundred years old.

Her appearance was also exceptionally striking.

But her complexion was far too pale.

She looked completely listless.

Every now and then, she would frown.

She was likely suppressing the pain in her body.

Yuan Chen looked at her with pity.

He didn't know how she had endured for several hundred years.

Unable to walk, unable to cultivate.

It was truly too much suffering.

If not for her family's wealth and the frequent use of precious Medicinal Pills to sustain her, she might have been gone long ago.

"Well?"

Seeing Yuan Chen remain silent for a long time, Clan Chief Ming Jing asked nervously.

Ming Yong, who was standing to the side, also looked tense.

Even though the two of them held high positions of power.

They were still helpless in the face of their daughter's condition.

Yuan Chen shifted his gaze to Clan Chief Ming Jing.

He looked deeply at the two of them for a few moments.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak.

It was just that he really didn't know how to explain this situation.

He didn't even know yet if the System's functions would be effective for Ming Xin.

His other wives had never been in such a situation.

Moreover, besides this.

What was more important was...

He secretly glanced at Ming Xin's frail frame.

She looked so frail that a gust of wind could knock her over, gasping for breath after taking just two steps.

Could she really handle it?

Not to mention the "three days without closing the blade."

He still had new fixed-target pills.

But even so, she might not be able to withstand it...

Furthermore, even if he set that aside for now.

If she really became pregnant later.

She could barely walk now; wouldn't she be stuck in bed once she was carrying a big belly?

Not to mention the issue of giving birth.

Even healthy people faced the risk of death during childbirth, let alone this girl.

"Hmph!"

Just then, Ming Xin, who was sitting quietly to the side, let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood slowly trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Ming Yong and Clan Chief Ming Jing merely furrowed their brows slightly and skillfully took out a bottle of Medicinal Pill.

They poured out a few and fed them into her mouth.

It wasn't that they weren't worried or didn't take it seriously.

They had simply become numb to it.

Almost every once in a while, Ming Xin would have an episode like this.

Yuan Chen sighed and slowly shook his head.

"To tell you the truth, I don't have absolute certainty!"

Looking at the two nervous people, Yuan Chen said softly.

"This..." Hearing this, the movements of Ming Yong and Clan Chief Ming Jing stiffened.

Another disappointment?

Yuan Chen continued immediately.

"It's not that I don't want to save her, but the risk is too high. If you have any other options, you should seek someone else!"

Yuan Chen said in a low voice.

The group fell into a state of melancholy.

Who else could they find!

In Ming Xin's condition, there was no possibility of her surviving in the first place.

If it weren't for the Que Clan's immense wealth keeping her alive by a thread, she wouldn't have even been born.

"Is there really no way at all?"

Clan Chief Ming Jing muttered to herself.

Ming Xin's expression did not change at all.

She had long anticipated this situation.

She knew her own body best.

Yuan Chen hesitated, looking at the pale young girl.

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he finally said.

"If you don't mind the time it might take, you can leave her with me for a while. I'm not sure if I can cure the illness, but I can improve her Physique."

Just when Yuan Chen was about to give up, he suddenly remembered his wardrobe.

It was for Body Tempering.

He didn't know if it would work for Ming Xin.

If it was useful, he could put her in to nourish her for a while.

Perhaps she would then have the energy to conceive a child.

Once the child was born.

Perhaps the System could resolve the root of her illness, and she wouldn't have to suffer like this.

If one time wasn't enough, she could just conceive a few more times.

Moreover, if this method was ineffective, Yuan Chen had other ways.

Based on his current Alchemy experience and the efficiency of having children.

It shouldn't take many years for his Alchemy skills to reach the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

With a bit more time, he might even surpass the scope of this world and refine an Immortal Pill.

Of course, the Materials might be hard to find at that time.

But that would have to be left to Ming Yong and Clan Chief Ming Jing.

Presumably, the Que Clan should have some in stock!

"You have a way to save Xin'er?"

Clan Chief Ming Jing, who had already been in despair, immediately looked up at Yuan Chen.

Even the suffering Ming Xin looked at the man in front of her in surprise.

Was she really salvageable?

Yuan Chen nodded, then slowly shook his head.

"We'll know soon enough."

"Follow me first!"

After saying this, he stood up and walked toward his room.

The three of them were a bit confused, but they obediently followed.

On the way from the reception hall to the bedroom, they happened to run into Elder Hei Yan, who was descending from the sky.

"Yo, kid, did you bring back two more beauties?"

"And sisters at that? Hahaha!"

Looking at the similar-looking mother and daughter, Elder Hei Yan said with a laugh.

He was a figure several generations older than Zixia, and Clan Chief Ming Jing belonged to the same era as Clan Leader Ao Yi.

Over the years, Elder Hei Yan had been wandering outside and hadn't recognized that Clan Chief Ming Jing was the Clan Chief of the Mingwang Sparrow Clan.

He didn't know Clan Chief Ming Jing, but she knew him.

She couldn't help but have three black lines appear on her forehead.

What kind of nonsense was this.

If she didn't know that she couldn't beat him, she would have slapped him across the face right then and there.

"Elder Hei Yan, it would be better not to joke around!"

Clan Chief Ming Jing was still focused on her daughter's condition and, having no patience for him, said in a deep voice.

Ming Yong also looked at him with an unkind expression.

If this weren't Yuan Chen's territory.

Even knowing he couldn't win, he would have been unable to resist starting a fight.

Zixia hurriedly scolded.

"Elder Hei Yan, don't talk nonsense."

"She is the Clan Chief of the Mingwang Sparrow Clan!"

Elder Hei Yan was stunned!

"The woman that Clan Leader Ao Yi failed to pursue?"

"I heard he was heartbroken for several hundred years!"

The rest of them immediately had black lines on their foreheads.

Ming Xin was even more curious as she looked at her parents.

There was such a thing?

The most outrageous one was Yuan Chen.

He immediately stopped leading the way.

He looked at Elder Hei Yan excitedly.

"What's the situation?"

"Tell me! Tell me quickly!"
