Shen Qianxun, I Can Save Her!

"Mother-in-law, I want to take a look at Qianxun. Perhaps I can save her!"

Ning Chuan spoke calmly.

He did not get angry. Given Ning Chuan's past behavior, even dogs would have shunned him, so it was perfectly normal for people to dislike him. If Shen Wan had liked him, that would have been a miracle.

"You? Hahaha... what a joke! So many physicians and alchemists could do nothing, yet a spineless loser like you dares claim you can save Qianxun?"

Before anyone else could speak, Li Yunfei burst out laughing, his eyes full of mockery.

"Ning Chuan, get out! Stop making a spectacle of yourself!"

Shen Wan's expression turned cold as well.

Every meridian in Ning Chuan's body had been severed. He was now a cripple without any cultivation, yet he dared boast that he could save Shen Qianxun?

Not a single person believed him!

"Mother-in-law, Qianxun is my wife. Rest assured, I won't harm her! Besides, if you really give her the Spirit-Nurturing Pill, you'll be the ones harming her!"

Ning Chuan smiled faintly.

He had merged with the Demon Emperor Asura's memories, gaining his lifetime of cultivation experience and mastery of Pill Dao. Although Ning Chuan currently had no cultivation, his mastery of Pill Dao far surpassed that of any alchemist on the True Martial Continent.

Upon hearing that Shen Qianxun had suffered fire poison attacking her heart and excessive depletion of her mental power while refining a Meridian-Continuing Pill, Ning Chuan had immediately found dozens of ways to cure her.

"What?!"

Ning Chuan's words made both Shen Wan's and Shen Qingqing's expressions change.

"Ning Chuan, you can eat whatever you please, but you can't say whatever you please! What does a useless cripple like you know about Pill Dao? The Spirit-Nurturing Pill is a supreme treasure of my Li Family. It nourishes mental power and is the only pill that can save Qianxun. How dare you spout such nonsense?"

Li Yunfei's gaze turned exceedingly dangerous as well.

"It's true that the Spirit-Nurturing Pill can nourish mental power. But let me ask you, what will you do about the fire poison in Qianxun's body?"

Ning Chuan smiled faintly.

"The fire poison? Nothing could be simpler! Once Qianxun takes the Spirit-Nurturing Pill and her mental power recovers, she can easily expel the fire poison with her abilities as a Second-Rank Alchemist!"

Li Yunfei sneered.

"Idiot!"

Ning Chuan sneered.

"You..."

Li Yunfei flew into a rage.

"What do you mean, 'you'? If I'm not mistaken, Qianxun's fire poison attacked her heart because she forcibly activated earthfire, allowing its baleful energy to enter her body, form fire poison, and invade her heart meridians! Her mental power was also depleted because she was resisting the fire poison!

"But do you know that her mental power and the fire poison are bound together? If she rashly takes the Spirit-Nurturing Pill, her mental power will surge, and the fire poison's potency will surge along with it. Once it invades her heart meridians, even a Great Luo Immortal would struggle to save her!

"Your Spirit-Nurturing Pill isn't a remedy that will save Qianxun at all. It's poison that will hasten her death!"

Ning Chuan sneered.

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

Li Yunfei was furious. At that moment, he hated Ning Chuan to the bone and was about to attack him.

"Stop!"

Shen Wan stopped Li Yunfei.

She gave Ning Chuan a long look, as though seeing him for the first time. She possessed a rudimentary understanding of Pill Dao herself, and she actually found some sense in what he had said.

"Can you really save Qianxun?"

Shen Wan suddenly asked.

Even she did not know why she had chosen to believe Ning Chuan at that moment, as though some unseen force had moved her.

"Mother-in-law, I know you don't like me, but there is one thing you should believe: I won't harm Qianxun!"

Ning Chuan smiled faintly before speaking earnestly.

"All right! Ning Chuan, I'll let you try. But let me make the ugly truth clear first: if anything happens to Qianxun, don't blame me for showing you no mercy!"

Shen Wan gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Elder Shen, are you really going to trust this spineless loser? I think he's plotting something. Aren't you afraid something will happen to Qianxun?"

Li Yunfei's expression changed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Li. This is a private matter of the Shen family. There's no need for you to interfere!"

Shen Wan spoke coolly.

"Fine! Very fine. Ning Chuan, I'd like to see how you clean up this mess when you fail to cure Qianxun!"

Li Yunfei's expression was exceedingly ugly.

"What fucking business is it of yours?"

Ning Chuan sneered.

"Bastard..."

Li Yunfei flew into a rage, his handsome face twisting viciously. He wished he could slap Ning Chuan to death.

"Come with me!"

Ignoring Li Yunfei, Shen Wan led Ning Chuan toward Shen Qianxun's room.

For some reason, the sight of Ning Chuan's brimming confidence eased the panic in Shen Wan's heart a little.

"Mother actually believes him? But how could a spineless loser like Ning Chuan possibly understand Pill Dao?"

Shen Qingqing's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Hmph! I'd like to see how a spineless loser putting on an act like you plans to save Qianxun. If you can't save her, let's see how you clean up the mess!

Li Yunfei sneered inwardly and followed them.

Inside a quiet chamber.

An extraordinarily beautiful woman lay on the bed.

Her face was as pale as paper, and she looked terribly frail. Her skin was as white as jade, yet her entire body was now flushed red, as though scorched by flames. A savage aura lurked within her.

It was Shen Qianxun!

Looking at Shen Qianxun before him, Ning Chuan's gaze softened slightly. No matter what, she was his wife, and she had often protected him within the Shen family.

He had to save her!

"Mother-in-law, have someone prepare a set of silver needles for me, then ask everyone who isn't needed to leave. Just let Qingqing stay to help me!"

Ning Chuan spoke.

"Are you sure?"

Shen Wan's eyes were full of doubt.

"Elder Shen, this spineless loser Ning Chuan is just putting on an act. Don't let him fool you. He might be plotting something against Qianxun!"

Li Yunfei sneered, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"Trust me!"

Ning Chuan paid Li Yunfei no attention at all and spoke calmly.

"All right!"

Shen Wan nodded. Without hesitation, she left a set of silver needles, then took everyone out of the quiet chamber, leaving only Shen Qingqing behind.

"Ning Chuan, what do we do now?"

Although Shen Qingqing's heart was full of doubt, she could only choose to trust Ning Chuan now.

"Well... take off all your sister's clothes!"

Ning Chuan spoke.

"What?! Ning Chuan, you... bastard!"

Shen Qingqing flew into a rage.

"Ahem... don't get worked up! I'm asking you to take off all Qianxun's clothes because I need to use the Acupuncture Technique to expel the fire poison from her body first!"

Ning Chuan spoke with righteous conviction.

"I suspect you just want to take advantage of my sister!"

Shen Qingqing spoke through gritted teeth.

"I'm your sister's husband! Does looking at my own wife count as taking advantage of her? If you don't want to do it, I will!"

Ning Chuan spoke with a rather innocent air.

"I'll do it! You... turn around. No peeking!"

Shen Qingqing stamped her foot, her face flushed with embarrassment, and snapped at Ning Chuan.

In the end, she chose to trust Ning Chuan. She hurried to the bedside and began undoing Shen Qianxun's clothes.
