Chapter 388

Old Man and Zu Qianqiu knelt decisively.

But Sister Immortal's body was too weak.

(It is truly awkward for a cute little sister to be called by such a name as Old Immortal, so she will be referred to as Sister Immortal from now on.)

Just as she was about to kneel, she felt a wave of dizziness.

Almost collapsing to the ground.

Just as the two ancestors were worried.

A white shadow flashed by.

Gu Hanyuan had already caught Sister Immortal.

With a solemn expression, he placed his fingers on her wrist.

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised.

Hadn't Sister Immortal eaten the Eight Life-Extending Pills?

Several of her organs had already begun to fail.

In this era.

It was a miracle that she could survive until now with such an illness.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan possessed spiritual energy.

The effect of spiritual energy in nourishing the human body was more than ten times stronger than internal energy.

Perhaps it had no great way to deal with viral diseases.

But if it was just organ failure, it could be treated.

It was just inevitably a bit wasteful.

After Gu Hanyuan infused some spiritual energy into Old Immortal.

Her condition was significantly better.

Not only was her complexion much rosier.

But she had also regained consciousness.

She looked at Gu Hanyuan, who was treating her right before her eyes.

Her heart fluttered.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan's appearance at such close range was truly not very friendly to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Sister Immortal had been sickly since she was young.

Her heart had never beaten this fast before.

Seeing that her condition had improved a bit.

Gu Hanyuan withdrew his hand and smiled warmly:

"Are you feeling better, Miss?"

Sister Immortal thanked him with a hint of shyness:

"Much better. Thank you, handsome big brother."

The young girl's crisp and pure voice of thanks actually made Gu Hanyuan feel a bit more pleasant.

He smiled and gently stroked the hair on top of Sister Immortal's head.

Seeing this, Wu Xingyun still couldn't help but curl her lips.

Despising Gu Hanyuan for flirting with an ignorant young girl.

With her medical skills, she could also see that Sister Immortal's life was nearing its end.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan pull her back from the gates of hell just by holding her wrist for a moment.

Actually made Wu Xingyun feel even more surprised.

Seeing that Sister Immortal's condition had improved significantly.

Old Man kowtowed in excitement to thank him.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan reached out to support them.

Old Man and Zu Qianqiu were both lifted up by his internal energy.

"Speak. What exactly happened?"

Gu Hanyuan was still somewhat curious as to why Sister Immortal hadn't eaten the Eight Life-Extending Pills.

Old Man said with tears streaming down his face:

"Immortal has had a strange illness since she was young; it's already a stroke of luck that she has lived until now. I obtained a prescription from Ping Yizhi and spent twelve years refining the 'Eight Life-Extending Pills' to extend Immortal's life. As a result, some time ago, Sect Leader Dongfang learned of the 'Eight Life-Extending Pills' from somewhere and snatched them from me."

Gu Hanyuan hadn't expected this matter to involve Dongfang Bubai as well.

"Dongfang Bubai? What did he snatch your 'Eight Life-Extending Pills' for?"

Old Man shook his head and said:

"I don't know. Elder Tong, who came to snatch the medicine, did not specify."

Clearly, he was also very puzzled.

Zu Qianqiu, who was on the side, speculated:

"Perhaps Sect Leader Dongfang wanted to treat someone's illness? We went to Ping Yizhi's place and discovered that he had also been taken away."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered for a moment.

Could it be Yang Lianting?

Back at Green Bamboo Alley, Gu Hanyuan had once severely injured Yang Lianting.

But that was an external injury.

The "Eight Life-Extending Pills" were primarily for internal injuries.

They should be useless for Yang Lianting.

"My cultivation method can barely extend Sister Immortal's life. But the consumption is immense, and it may not necessarily be able to cure her."

Gu Hanyuan did not intend to consume so much spiritual energy to treat Sister Immortal.

Old Man and Zu Qianqiu looked at each other.

Neither had expected that Gu Hanyuan's cultivation method could actually extend Sister Immortal's life.

But they didn't dare to hope that Gu Hanyuan would consume his own cultivation to save Sister Immortal.

Old Man hurriedly explained:

"How would we dare to trouble Young Master Gu to consume your cultivation? We only want to beg Young Master Gu to help plead with the Holy Maiden to retrieve the 'Eight Life-Extending Pills' from Sect Leader Dongfang after you save her."

Gu Hanyuan pondered.

He did not believe that Dongfang Bubai snatched the "Eight Life-Extending Pills" just for collection.

It had likely already been used by now.

It was just unknown who he was treating.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan's thoughtful appearance.

Old Man thought he wanted to refuse.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Old Man knows that Young Master Gu most despises those who kill wantonly. In order to seek medicine for Immortal, I killed Ping Yizhi's mother-in-law's family. As long as Young Master Gu is willing to save Immortal. Old Man will compensate Young Master Gu with this life of mine."

After saying this, he drew a short blade and prepared to stab himself.

"Father! Don't!"

Sister Immortal exclaimed upon seeing this.

It was just that if Old Man wanted to die, he would need Gu Hanyuan's consent.

Gu Hanyuan's fingers moved like lightning.

The "One Yang Finger" instantly froze Old Man in place.

He said with annoyance:

"Why are you in such a hurry to seek death? You killed Ping Yizhi's mother-in-law's family; that was both to save your daughter and a rule set by Ping Yizhi himself, so it cannot be called wantonly killing the innocent. Any karma should be settled by Ping Yizhi with you, and it has nothing to do with me."

"As for saving Sister Immortal, I can only say I will do my best."

After his acupoints were unsealed by Gu Hanyuan.

Old Man knelt again to thank him.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your magnanimity."

"Thank you, big brother." ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
