Chapter 163: Tianshan Great Replenishment Pill

Stop touching it and take it.

Qin Xuan took out the heart-shaped keychain and handed it over.

Liu Qianqian grabbed it immediately and fell in love with it at first glance: "This thing is quite pretty. Little Qin Xuan, is this mine now?"

Take it if you want it.

Qin Xuan smiled. Naturally, he would not take such a small trinket to heart.

Hmm. Little Qin Xuan, seeing that you've been so well-behaved...

As Liu Qianqian spoke, she began rummaging through her clothes for something.

What are you trying to do?

Qin Xuan asked, puzzled.

I'm giving this to you. It's very useful. After searching for a long time, Liu Qianqian finally pulled out a small porcelain bottle. The bottle was not large, adorned with light blue patterns, and looked quite delicate.

What's inside?

This is the Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill. Didn't you say that Shen Yina was injured by the True Mystery Sword Qi? Swallow this, and she'll be cured immediately.

Liu Qianqian opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle, and instantly a rich medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.

Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill?

Qin Xuan became even more puzzled. It seemed he had never heard of this thing before?

What, do you doubt this young lady's possessions?

Liu Qianqian gave him a sidelong glance, laboriously coaxed a thumb-sized pill out of the small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Qin Xuan: Here, this is for you.

Just one?

Qin Xuan was startled.

How many do you want? Liu Qianqian got angry. This is one of only two great replenishing pills I brewed with all the knowledge I learned before descending the mountain, gathering the essence of the Tianshan Sword Sect's medical arts. I even stole many centuries-old spiritual herbs that my master planted, and in the end, only two succeeded. Giving you one is already an act of supreme mercy!

It sounds very precious and extremely impressive.

Qin Xuan took the pill. It was the size of a thumb, pitch black all over, and completely round, looking somewhat unreliable.

This is originally a very precious and impressive item!

Liu Qianqian carefully put away the small porcelain bottle and explained: This thing nourishes all the internal organs of the whole body, and it's extremely beneficial for the recovery of meridians and most internal injuries. If you eat it now, Little Qin Xuan, your injuries will fully recover by tomorrow.

So miraculous? Then why didn't you take it out earlier?

Qin Xuan curled his lip.

Hmph, how could such a precious great replenishing pill be wasted casually? Liu Qianqian stomped her foot. But that was because this young lady didn't know Lin Qingyang wanted to kill you; otherwise, I would have given it to you to eat long ago. Sigh, it's a good thing you're alright, or if you had really died, this young lady would have regretted it to death...

Alright, then I believe you.

Qin Xuan put away the Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill.

Believe what?

Believe that this so-called great replenishing pill is a miraculous medicine. Qin Xuan said, then suddenly looked somewhat perplexed: But you giving me one now—what wicked scheme are you plotting? Both Shen Yina and I are injured. Are we supposed to split one in half?

Split it in half, your head!

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian got angry again, couldn't help but pinch Qin Xuan, and glared at him: This Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill only works if you swallow it whole. If you only eat half, it's completely as if you never ate it at all.

Then is this for me or for Shen Yina?

Of course it's for you, lest you run into some danger again and kick the bucket just like that... Liu Qianqian muttered, then curled her lip again. But since I've given it to you, whether you eat it yourself or give it to that Shen Yina, do as you please.

Lin Qingyang's attempt to kill Qin Xuan had frightened Liu Qianqian. Originally, she thought Qin Xuan wouldn't face any real danger in Jinling, and saving the Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill for later use would be better. But now she didn't dare keep anything back, thinking only of getting Qin Xuan healed first.

However, she didn't expect Qin Xuan to simply pack the Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill away: Then I'll take it to the hospital tomorrow for Shen Yina to eat.

Hmph, suit yourself.

Liu Qianqian said indifferently, though she felt a trace of comfort in her heart. Qin Xuan really was a good person; he wasn't even afraid of dying himself, yet he was willing to give the opportunity to a female student.

As for who Shen Yina was, Liu Qianqian only knew one piece of information: she was a female student, a female student accidentally injured by the True Mystery Sword Qi...

In truth, Qin Xuan wasn't fearless of death at all; rather, he was full of confidence.

He believed that the news of Dragon Lady's appearance would definitely summon Master Liu Wuyang instantly. With his master by his side, he would never be in danger. As long as he recuperated quietly for four or five days, his injuries would completely recover anyway, making the consumption of this Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill somewhat wasteful.

Shen Yina was different, however.

The superficial wound on her shoulder pierced by the flying knife was easy to resolve, but the True Mystery Sword Qi rampaging inside her body caused damage to her internal organs and meridians that modern medicine could not fundamentally cure.

Although that girl Liu Qianqian had eccentric manners and behavior, this Tianshan Great Replenishing Pill should still be very effective.

Let's hope so...

Qin Xuan added deep in his heart.

...

Zhou Bosheng was furious.

There was only one reason for his anger: a campus shooting had actually occurred at the esteemed Jinling University, though that wasn't even the primary issue. The main point was that his son had unexpectedly become the sole student shot in the incident.

Zhou Xiaoyu was his son, currently recuperating at the First People's Hospital of Jinling City. Although the hospital stated the operation was very successful and the leg hit by the bullet would soon heal completely, Zhou Bosheng still rushed back to Jinling from Beijing at top speed, leaving matters in Beijing unfinished.

Even so, by the time he arrived in Jinling, it was already the following morning.

It was Saturday, and Jinling was bathed in bright sunshine with moderate temperatures, signaling the imminent arrival of autumn. Zhou Bosheng hurried non-stop to the First People's Hospital of Jinling City, never expecting to run into an acquaintance right at the entrance.

President Shen, what a coincidence. I never expected you to be at the hospital too?

Anxiety filled Zhou Bosheng's heart, but he still offered a very courteous greeting. The man was Shen Donglai, the president of the Jinling branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, quite a well-known figure in Jinling.

Oh? So it's Secretary Zhou.

Shen Donglai was just about to enter the hospital when he was startled upon seeing Zhou Bosheng. He was well aware that Zhou Bosheng was about to be promoted to Secretary of the Jinling Municipal Party Committee, a promotion of no small magnitude.

Given his status, he was still not worth mentioning to Zhou Bosheng. After all, a mere branch president meant there were at least dozens, if not hundreds, of such figures across all of Jinling.

Of course, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China had a rather formidable backing, which was also a point of pride for Shen Donglai.

May I ask what brings Secretary Zhou to the hospital in his busy schedule?

Shen Donglai asked cautiously.

My son was shot; I'm here to check on him.

Though worry filled Zhou Bosheng's brows, he still managed a forced smile. I won't disturb President Shen any further. We can chat more when we have time in the future.

What? Your son was shot?

Shen Donglai was taken aback. Due to the strict censorship of news surrounding the campus shooting, even he hadn't heard about it.

Secretary Zhou, let me accompany you to check on your son first. Being shot is a major event...

Shen Donglai seized the opportunity to try and close the distance with Zhou Bosheng.

Very well. By the way, what brings you to the hospital?

Zhou Bosheng asked as they walked into the hospital.

My daughter suffered a minor injury too, seemingly hurt by some kind of flying knife... I'm just here to take a look; it's definitely nothing serious. But your son's gunshot wound definitely needs cautious treatment...

The two men quickly entered the hospital.

Just at that moment, Qin Xuan finally arrived at the entrance of the First People's Hospital of Jinling City in a hailed taxi.
