96: Crisis

Long Yuan was unaware of Luo Yunfeng's rich mental activity at this moment, but he had long foreseen what the Luo Family father and son were thinking and seeking. After all, the Heavenly Dao Eye had always been watching them. Therefore, his performance in the ward just now had actually given Luo Yunfeng a subtle warning, including the two techniques of remote diagnosis and extracting bone through the body. If Luo Yunfeng didn't understand these two techniques, then he would bring humiliation upon himself…

With his current Cultivation Realm and strength, coupled with the Nian Needle, his combat power in Fengyang County was almost invincible. He had this confidence because, strictly speaking, he was now not just a Xuan Practitioner but also a powerful High Grade Soul Warrior from the Immortal Realm, backed by the Divine Sense power of the Nascent Soul Stage. He possessed Divine Sense techniques from the Heavenly Eye Cultivation Technique that were comparable to Immortal Arts. Even if he encountered a Xuan Practitioner of a higher Realm, it wouldn't be impossible to eliminate the opponent. After all, the strongest among Xuan Practitioners was merely a Heavenly God, and the Heavenly God Realm was equivalent to the Golden Core Stage in the Immortal Realm. However, Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage generally had no power to resist in front of Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage; at most, they were slightly stronger ants…

Of course, due to the limitations of his Physique, Long Yuan's Divine Sense techniques could not be fully utilized, currently only about thirty percent. But even thirty percent was an insurmountable mountain in front of these Xuan Practitioners.

In addition, during this period, he also discovered another benefit of his Divine-Grade talent: his Cultivation Technique would operate on its own with his breathing and activities. Although the speed was not as fast as when he was concentrating on Cultivating, it had the advantage of being continuous and sustained. Therefore, his Cultivation was constantly increasing. After breaking through to the Warrior Stage - Early Phase some time ago, he was now almost entering the Middle Stage!

This situation might not only be due to his Divine-Grade talent but also include the Divine-Grade Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills Long Yuan Cultivated. Their relationship can be seen in this way: talent is like the hardware of a computer, while Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are the software in the computer. Only when the two are perfectly combined can this computer operate efficiently, allowing Long Yuan to truly experience the beauty of Cultivating!

After extracting all the stem cells from the bone powder, Long Yuan then extracted active elements from Ye He's Qi Sea cells and injected them into these stem cells. This determined the future growth direction for these stem cells, which was to grow towards the Qi Sea.

This is the miraculous aspect of stem cells: as long as you give them a direction, they can grow in that predetermined direction and transform into the final required organ or tissue.

Just as he was about to prepare the medicinal solution, he heard Luo Pingchuan say that the Ye Family had brought over their treasured Advanced mysterious medicines. So, the two went out to check and found that the Ye Family truly lived up to its reputation as the number one Family in Fengyang County, with an incredibly rich foundation. The age and quality of these mysterious medicines were much better than those currently available at Luo Family Hospital. So, Long Yuan selected the parts he wanted and prepared them into individual nutrient solutions…

Watching Long Yuan busy himself, Ye Yuhuang and Ye Dehui waited anxiously outside. They didn't dare to ask too many questions about the specific situation, but seeing the circumstances, it seemed there was indeed a turning point. So, their mood was both anxious and expectant…

They were busy until the next morning, finally preparing a half-month's dosage, and only then did the two finally emerge from the laboratory…

“Long Yuan!”

“Brother Luo!”

“How are things?!” Ye Yuhuang and Ye Dehui immediately stepped forward and asked.

Luo Yunfeng turned to look at Long Yuan, who smiled and said, “It's fine. We'll do the surgery in half a month! As for you all during this time, well, it's best if Uncle Ye personally takes care of him, but you must follow the laboratory's regulations for disinfection measures before entering and exiting, to avoid causing new infections and harm to Ye He.”

Ye Yuhuang immediately said excitedly, “Good… I will definitely follow the regulations to take care of him! I just don't know how high the success rate of this surgery will be?”

Long Yuan pondered, “If there are no accidents, there should be no problem. As for the effect, I will evaluate it again before the surgery. Of course, this is related to the medicines you provide, your care, and Ye He's own condition. I can't give you a guarantee right now!”

“This… no problem, I will do my best to keep him in good condition!” Ye Yuhuang said loudly.

“Alright, see you later!”

“Wait! This is the remuneration our Ye Family is paying you in advance!” Ye Yuhuang said, handing five hundred superior xuan stones, which he had prepared, to each of them.

“Ah, this… let's wait until the surgery is successful before paying. Actually, it's fine even without remuneration. Ye He is my classmate, and curing him is also my wish! I don't want to see an S-rank super Genius crippled so easily, so as long as there's a possibility, I will do my utmost!” Long Yuan declined.

“This is just a small token of our Ye Family's sincerity, please accept it! If the surgery is successful, our Ye Family will have a generous reward!!!” Ye Yuhuang said fiercely.

“Alright, then thank you, Uncle Ye! See you later!” Long Yuan “reluctantly” accepted it and left Luo Family Hospital with Yun Yi…

Seeing Long Yuan leave, the Ye Family members immediately surrounded Luo Yunfeng again to inquire about the exact news. Luo Yunfeng's face was flushed with excitement, and he began to speak voluminously…

Qin Fu Yi seized this opportunity and stopped Long Yuan and Yun Yi at the hospital entrance, saying, “Long Yuan, can Ye He's injury really be cured?”

It was the middle of the night, and it was deserted here. Seeing Qin Fu Yi's gloomy expression, Long Yuan calmly nodded and said, “Uncle Qin, to be honest, it really can be!”

“It's actually true! Then to what extent can his talent be restored?” Qin Fu Yi pressed.

“If all goes well, it can basically be restored to its original level.”

“How is that possible…” Qin Fu Yi was completely stunned. This situation greatly exceeded his expectations and was something he couldn't have imagined before.

What should he do? If Ye He's talent recovered, the pressure on the Qin Family would be too great!

Long Yuan shrugged and calmly said, “He is just a Martial Apprentice. Even if his Qi Sea is shattered, the difficulty of recovery is indeed not too great. But if it were a High Grade Xuan Practitioner, a shattered Qi Sea could be devastating, and recovery would be extremely difficult…”

Qin Fu Yi nodded slightly as he listened, but then he suddenly grabbed Long Yuan's right hand and said, “Long Yuan, I beg you for one thing. If you can agree, how about I give you a supreme-grade mysterious stone as remuneration?”

“Oh? What do you want me to do, Uncle Qin?”

“This… you are young, and you might not yet know the cruelty of competition between our Families, but Teacher Yun Yi should be very clear. I mean… well, if you can restore Ye He's Cultivation during the surgery, but prevent his talent from returning to its original S-rank level, perhaps to around B-rank? If you can do that, then Ye He's threat to our Qin Family won't be as great, and our Qin Family and the Ye Family in Fengyang County can coexist peacefully in the future, without any bloodshed… I believe this is also the result you want to see, right? Teacher Yun Yi, I believe you would also support me in doing this, right?” Qin Fu Yi said in a deep voice.

“Is that so…” Long Yuan turned to look at Yun Yi beside him…

Yun Yi was startled, his eyes flickering. He glanced at Qin Fu Yi's hand tightly grasping Long Yuan's and pondered, “I remain neutral on this matter. It's a pity to destroy such a Genius that the Ye Family finally produced, but it's also normal for the Qin Family to have this concern. Sometimes the struggles between Families are life-and-death. Perhaps saving Ye He now means the entire Qin Family will fall in the future. So, I can't offer an opinion on this matter; it's up to Long Yuan to decide!”

After hearing this, Long Yuan cursed inwardly, *You old fox, what you say sounds grand and righteous, but in reality, you're washing your hands of it, just wanting me to take the blame!*

*Moreover, you kept saying you would protect my safety, but don't you see Qin Fu Yi grabbing my right hand right now?*

*If I don't agree to Qin Fu Yi's request, he'll probably destroy this right hand of mine, won't he?*

*This Xuanwu World is really full of dangers at every step. Even doing good deeds requires one's own strength…*
