Chapter 439: Chapter 180: "Even if a Mayfly Enters the Sea, I Will Still Burn My Blood to Scorch the Heavens.

"Speak freely."

Chen Fan said softly, his expression calm, "We have no better options right now. Any method is worth a try."

After all, in a way, Tian Yi had ended up in this state while helping the Mortal Realm defend the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line. It was only right for him to help.

’Although the information was leaked because of Tian Yi...’

’But...’

’It wasn’t his intention.’

"Alright."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "The first step is to reconstruct his blood vessels. But the human vascular system is incredibly complex; no one can do that right now."

"Unless..."

"Unless we plant a Ghost Blood Flower inside his body, let its roots spread throughout him to replace his blood vessels, and then plant him in Level 10 Farmland to make the Ghost Blood Flower grow quickly."

"After that, we feed him Human Blood Pills to promote blood generation."

"After several months of recuperation, there’s a theoretical chance he could survive."

"Wait!"

Standing to the side, Shao Qiu frowned and said in a low voice, "I thought Medicine King Valley was a righteous sect, not some kind of Demon Sect or evil faction, right?"

"Domain Lord."

"This Ghost Blood Flower is an extremely rare method used to torture and control people. When a Ghost Blood Flower is planted in a person’s body, its roots grow continuously within their blood vessels, causing excruciating pain. Once it’s fully grown, it will bear a single fruit."

"If that fruit is crushed..."

"The person will bleed from all seven orifices and die on the spot."

"And as for the Human Blood Pill, that’s an elixir refined from the blood of slaughtered living beings by Demon Cultivators to rapidly increase their cultivation."

"These are all heretical, evil methods. You’re using them to cure someone?"

"What do you mean, ’heretical, evil methods’? If it can save a life, it’s a good method." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley had been somewhat lacking in confidence, but hearing someone question his area of expertise, he couldn’t help but retort.

"Yes, the Ghost Blood Flower is a method of torture, with its roots growing continuously inside the blood vessels. But he doesn’t even have blood vessels right now, so how could it torture him? The roots that grow can conveniently substitute for his vascular system."

"Can you find another way to repair his blood vessels?"

"And the Human Blood Pill—while it is a tool for Demon Cultivators to raise their cultivation, it’s also a miraculous elixir for rapidly restoring blood and qi. It has a bad side, but it also has a good one."

"But from what I know, refining a Human Blood Pill requires the blood of a great number of mortals. How many people do you plan to slaughter to refine one?"

Shao Qiu knew he shouldn’t be speaking up at this moment; the Domain Lord definitely wanted to save Tian Yi.

It was just that, although his own hands were stained with blood...

He truly couldn’t stand the act of slaughtering mortals, especially to refine an elixir. It was just like how he had proven his own strength by launching a night raid on the Slaughter Immortal Holy Land, not by massacring a city of mortals.

"We won’t slaughter anyone."

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley shook his head. "Everyone in our Medicine King Valley will voluntarily donate a little blood. That will be enough to refine a batch of Human Blood Pills."

"If you want to eat an egg, there’s no need to slaughter the entire chicken farm."

"..."

Shao Qiu suddenly froze on the spot, his mouth hanging slightly open, unable to process this for a long moment. ’How had he never thought that a Human Blood Pill could be refined this way?’

’This...’

’This... actually seems to work?’

"We’ll do it your way."

Chen Fan said in a low voice, "Take him back to Xiyang City in the Jiangbei Mortal Realm. You will personally oversee his treatment. As long as you can save him, there will be a reward."

"Yes!"

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley nodded emphatically in agreement.

...

A Flying Ship departed that very night, carrying the members of Medicine King Valley and the gravely injured, near-death Tian Yi back to the Mortal Realm.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall of the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line, listening as the person in charge of the defense line explained the sequence of events.

"That’s how it happened."

The person in charge of the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line spoke hoarsely, his expression complicated. "Shortly after nightfall, we received news that the Yellow Springs Coastal Defense Line had fallen. The number of Ghost Tide creatures at the coastal defense line surged tonight; it was nothing like their usual strength."

"Immediately after, that wave of the Ghost Tide made landfall in the coastal area of Yellow Springs Entrance and advanced on the Yellow Springs Entrance Defense Line."

Normally, Chen Fan had no authority to inquire about these matters, and the man shouldn’t have said anything. But for some reason, when Chen Fan asked, he subconsciously told him everything he knew.

It was as if he were reporting to a superior.

Perhaps it was because if not for the support of the Mortal Realm’s cruise missiles tonight, he would no longer have had the chance to be standing here reporting at all.

"..."

Chen Fan gazed in the direction where the Night Watcher had self-destructed. Traces of dark green soil still remained on the ground. He hadn’t witnessed it himself, but from the man’s explanation, he could roughly picture the scene.

For some reason, he felt that this was too cruel to the Night Watchers.

’Although their power is undeniably impressive... a Night Watcher is a person first and foremost. To completely objectify a person, to forge them into a strategic weapon—in my eyes, that’s somewhat cruel.’

He didn’t think the Eternal Night Hall had done anything wrong.

The situation on the front lines was dire, and the Eternal Night Continent could fall at any moment. Under such circumstances, no one would consider humanitarianism. He just felt that these Night Watchers were pitiable.

’A Night Watcher’s destiny shouldn’t be "activation."’

’No one would want their sole purpose in life, from the moment they are born, to be self-destruction.’

He believed that when the mothers of these Night Watchers gave birth, they didn’t hope for their children’s destiny to be self-destruction.

He had a good idea of where this Ghost Tide had come from.

’It must be like the attack on the supply convoy in the Qiuming Basin. They broke through the regional blockade at all costs to send a Ghost Tide to make landfall in the Yellow Springs Entrance Mountain Range Area.’
