Chapter 1674: To treat or not to treat?

Soon, an elder from the Alchemist Alliance rushed over.

As a ninth-grade alchemist, this elder shook his head with a solemn expression after checking Bai Honghua's injuries and looked at Bai Ke.

"Valley Master Bai..."

"Elder, please speak."

"Your daughter's injuries are too severe, and the soul already has signs of collapse. This old man..."

This elder was also helpless regarding Bai Honghua's injuries.

Soul injuries were extremely difficult to treat, and very few alchemists would study this direction.

So compared to other injuries, soul injuries were the most troublesome.

Hearing this, Bai Ke was stunned, but then said in a deep voice.

"Then I wonder if the Alchemist Alliance Leader..."

Since a ninth-grade alchemist couldn't do it, then a Saint-grade one.

It was a pity that upon hearing Bai Ke's words, this elder shook his head.

"The Alliance Leaders have already gone into seclusion to refine elixirs. Unless it's the three major sacred grounds, otherwise..."

He didn't say it directly, but the meaning in his words was already very clear.

Now, with the development of the war, the consumption of elixirs could be said to be extremely huge, especially high-grade elixirs.

There wasn't much stock to begin with, and now it was simply in short supply.

So the three Alliance Leaders had long been wholeheartedly devoted to refining elixirs, and it was impossible to disturb the three of them for some small matters.

Unless the three major sacred grounds came forward.

Although Bai Honghua was Bai Ke's only daughter, to put it bluntly, the Heavenly Blade Valley didn't have the qualifications to make the three Alliance Leaders put down their work to treat Bai Honghua specifically.

Hearing the elder's words, Bai Ke's expression became extremely complex, and he said unwillingly.

"Elder, I am willing to pay any price. Any price at all."

"Valley Master Bai, that's not what I mean. Given the current battle situation, I hope Valley Master Bai can understand."

What could Bai Ke give? Even if he sold the entire Heavenly Blade Valley, to the three Alliance Leaders of the Alchemist Alliance, it would just be that.

When it came to wealth, Bai Ke couldn't catch up to the Alchemist Alliance even if he whipped his horse.

For a time, Bai Ke felt dead inside. An iron-blooded man who hadn't flinched even in a bloody battle with the Undying Race now had red eyes looking at Bai Honghua, who was unconscious on the bed.

"Elder, is there no other way?"

He still wasn't willing to give up; even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he had to save his daughter.

Facing Bai Ke's request, this Alchemist Alliance elder pondered for a moment, then said faintly.

"There is one more way, but I don't know if Valley Master Bai..."

"I ask the Elder to speak clearly; Bai Ke will be eternally grateful."

Hearing that there was another way, Bai Ke didn't wait for the elder to finish and interrupted directly.

Although it was very impolite, the elder also knew that Bai Ke loved his daughter dearly and didn't mind, saying directly.

"Sun Ming."

"Sun Ming? The one who refined the Soul-Returning Pill?"

Hearing this name, Bai Ke asked suspiciously. As far as he knew, that kid wasn't even a ninth-grade alchemist yet. If the elder couldn't do it, could he?

Seeing Bai Ke's suspicion, the elder explained.

"If it were other injuries, Sun Ming might not be able to do it, but for soul injuries, Sun Ming is above this old man. Perhaps he might have a way."

"It's just... Valley Master Bai should know about Sun Ming's affairs. I don't know if this side effect is acceptable."

The efficacy of the Soul-Returning Pill was good, but the side effects were also very obvious. Inviting Sun Ming to come required mental preparation.

After hearing the elder's words, Bai Ke gritted his teeth and immediately ordered people to invite Sun Ming.

Even if there were side effects, as long as he could save his daughter's life, Bai Ke would accept it.

This time it went very smoothly; not long after, Sun Ming arrived at the Heavenly Blade Valley encampment.

Bai Ke greeted him personally, his attitude extremely respectful; after all, his daughter's life was now in the hands of the young man before him.

"Valley Master Bai, no need for this. Let me check the situation first."

"Fellow Daoist Sun, please."

Personally bringing Sun Ming into the room, seeing the Alchemist Alliance elder who had arrived earlier, Sun Ming greeted him actively, and only then began to check Bai Honghua's condition.

After checking, Sun Ming turned to look at Bai Ke, his expression calm.

"Valley Master Bai."

"Fellow Daoist Sun, please speak."

"You must already know about your daughter's injuries. The soul is severely damaged; no wonder the Soul-Returning Pill had no effect. But it's not without a way, it's just..."

"There is a way? I ask Fellow Daoist Sun to take action. Bai Ke will agree to any request."

Hearing that Sun Ming had a way, Bai Ke couldn't listen to anything else and said immediately.

He was truly anxious. Seeing this, Sun Ming raised his hand.

"Valley Master Bai, don't be anxious. Listen to me finish. I can indeed treat your daughter's injuries, but there are some side effects."

Hearing this, Bai Ke didn't have much of a reaction, but others on the side twitched their eyelids. Damn it, are you poisonous? Why are there always so many side effects when treating an illness?

But Bai Ke obviously couldn't care about that much right now and asked quickly.

"I wonder what the side effects are?"

As long as it wasn't too serious, Bai Ke could accept it. Seeing this, Sun Ming said.

"It's somewhat similar to the Soul-Returning Pill: hair loss."

"That's completely fine, Fellow Daoist Sun, please go ahead..."

"I mean it's somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. The side effect of the Soul-Returning Pill is that it can grow back after falling out, but if you treat your daughter according to my method, it will never grow back again after falling out. It belongs to an irreversible situation."
