Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1704 - 1741: The Unpredictable Journey of Life
At this moment, Long Ren heard Ding Fan’s words, and felt very happy in his heart. You know, he’s been hoping for Shan Shan’s awakening for a very, very long time. In fact, in Long Ren’s dreams, he wishes for the day Shan Shan would wake up. This is also Long Ren’s greatest wish, but he knows that this wish is not so easily realized, and Long Ren has even prepared for the possibility that it may never happen in his lifetime.
After all, Long Ren is aware of Shan Shan’s condition, and even after being seen by so many doctors, none could find a way. The hope of Shan Shan waking up is a distant yet urgent wish for Long Ren. Now, upon hearing Brother Ding Fan say there’s a way to wake Shan Shan, how could his heart not be filled with excitement and joy?
However, when Long Ren heard Brother say there was no fundamental problem found in Shan Shan’s illness, a trace of sadness inevitably passed through his heart, especially upon hearing that Shan Shan might fall into a coma again in a few years. This made Long Ren feel even more upset.
Long Ren’s eyes became a little moist for a moment, yet the smile at the corner of his mouth remained on his face. He knew that if not for Brother, Shan Shan probably wouldn’t even be able to wake up this time. Although in a few years Shan Shan might fall into a coma again, being able to see Shan Shan awaken made Long Ren already very content...
At this moment, the Great Elder heard Ding Fan’s words and had a face full of disbelief. He really couldn’t anticipate that the Lake Master’s elder brother actually had a way to awaken Shan Shan. It was simply too incredible! You must know Shan Shan’s condition, and previously many Grade Nine Alchemists were consulted without any success.
Unexpectedly, this Ding Fan actually managed to do it. It is truly too incredible!
The Great Elder knew that this Ding Fan still needed about a week, before Shan Shan could awaken. Although even the Great Elder was unsure whether Shan Shan really could wake up by then, since the other party dared to make such a promise, it was clearly with some confidence, which was already an unexpectedly good result for now.
At this moment, the Great Elder’s heart was also very excited. He had interacted with Ding Fan for a period of time, and had a certain understanding of him. Ding Fan absolutely would not speak of things he couldn’t achieve, and the Great Elder knew that looking at Lake Master’s elder brother Ding Fan, you couldn’t use common eyes.
Because this Ding Fan was truly willing to create miracles, upon thinking of this, the Great Elder felt happy for Long Ren, as Shan Shan would finally awaken, and all the Lake Master’s efforts over the years wouldn’t be in vain.
Unable to hold back, the Great Elder directly asked Ding Fan with eagerness:
"Mr. Ding, is there anything I can help with? I will do my utmost!"
"Don’t worry, you’re not needed at the moment, but I need to understand more about the situation with the sister-in-law." Ding Fan’s smile unknowingly ceased, replaced with some solemnity, as he considered not only waking the sister-in-law completely, but also ensuring she is fully cured.
The elder heard Ding Fan’s words, and quickly replied:
"Mr. Ding, whatever you need to know, I will tell you everything."
"No, I need her to tell me."
Ding Fan gently shook his head and then calmly looked at the woman in the Ice Coffin and spoke.
The Great Elder was momentarily stunned upon hearing Ding Fan’s words but quickly understood Ding Fan’s intention. He needed to check her body, and thus the Great Elder quietly retreated behind Long Ren, no longer disrupting Ding Fan. At this moment, Long Ren too repressed the excitement in his heart, carefully staying beside the Great Elder, fearing to disturb Ding Fan’s treatment of Shan Shan.
Ding Fan carefully explored the dantian of the woman in the Ice Coffin using his Divine Sense. However, regardless of how meticulously Ding Fan checked, he couldn’t find anything unusual about the woman’s dantian. Her dantian was perfectly intact, no different from that of a typical cultivator.
This left Ding Fan feeling intrigued. Since there was no difference compared to other cultivators’ dantian, why did the woman’s True Qi increase at such a rapid pace? Ding Fan knew that if he couldn’t identify the key issue, even if he absorbed the excessive True Qi from within the woman’s body to awaken her, he still wouldn’t have fundamentally solved her illness.
This was not the outcome Ding Fan wanted to see.
Quickly, Ding Fan considered another approach. If the dantian had no issues, he could examine other areas of her body for problems. But Ding Fan soon realized that she was a woman, and inspecting other parts of her body might be somewhat intrusive. Unavoidably, Ding Fan retracted his Divine Sense and Divine Vigor, turning to Long Ren to inquire:
"Brother, during my examination, I found no abnormalities with the sister-in-law’s dantian. Now I need to investigate other areas of her body, which may be somewhat intrusive, Brother..."
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Long Ren was momentarily stunned. Then, with a helpless smile, he responded to Ding Fan:
"Brother, it’s no issue at all; you’re saving Shan Shan; how could I mind? Brother, feel free to inspect. Please save San San!"
"Alright, don’t worry."
Ding Fan agreed directly. Now that he had obtained Long Ren’s assurance, he had nothing left to worry about. He began to use his Divine Sense to examine other parts of the girl’s body inside the Ice Coffin. During the examination, nothing new was discovered except for an unusual finding at her chest.
This discovery gave Ding Fan a glimpse of hope, and he finally understood why the True Qi in the girl inside the Ice Coffin had increased so remarkably.
On the girl’s chest in the Ice Coffin, Ding Fan noticed several purple plum blossom-like marks. He knew these marks were special, not ordinary occurrences. Cultivators who possessed these plum blossom marks had a very rare Cold Plum Physique.
The most distinctive feature of a cultivator with this physique is that their True Qi grows extremely quickly, several times that of a normal cultivator. Moreover, the more plum blossom marks, the faster the True Qi growth, even doubling. With one blossom, the growth rate is equivalent to a normal person’s; two blossoms make it twice as fast, and three blossoms, three times. Once the plum blossom marks exceed three, the growth rate becomes terrifying.
Currently, the girl inside the Ice Coffin already had three plum blossom marks on her chest. Evidently, her True Qi growth rate was three times that of an ordinary cultivator, which was astounding. It’s clear that an ordinary cultivator couldn’t withstand such an amount of True Qi, leading to her persistent coma.
Ding Fan did not expect the girl to have the Cold Plum Physique. He had some understanding of it, knowing that cultivators with this physique are considered natural prodigies in the Cultivation World, one in tens of thousands.
After all, even if a cultivator with Cold Plum Physique just sits there doing nothing, their True Qi continually grows, several times faster than that of ordinary cultivators. It’s basically every cultivator’s dream. However, those born with this physique typically aren’t aware of their talent as children. Only after reaching a certain stage do the plum blossom marks start appearing, just like the girl in the Ice Coffin now.
However, according to Ding Fan’s knowledge, cultivators with the Cold Plum Physique usually don’t end up comatose due to excessive True Qi like this girl. Ding Fan noted her youthful appearance, looking just over twenty, yet she already had nearly three plum blossom marks.
Ding Fan could conclude that his kin’s Cold Plum Physique was extraordinarily strong, even beyond the typical Cold Plum Physique, potentially being a one-in-a-billion occurrence. For most cultivators, it’s truly the best case.
Because this Super Cold Plum Physique allowed her True Qi growth to outpace even the rarest of typical Cold Plum Physiques, but it wasn’t all good news. Ding Fan knew that was just theory. In reality, the situation with the girl in the Ice Coffin made it clear it’s not something to envy.
The girl in this Ice Coffin, Ding Fan knew, had been unconscious for nearly a decade. Obviously, as a young child, she couldn’t handle the exceedingly rapid growth of True Qi. This was certainly not good news.
Ding Fan couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, musing that this must be the principle of ’things reverse when they reach the extreme.’ Initially, this girl’s Super Cold Plum Physique would’ve been the envy of every cultivator’s heart, even Ding Fan himself was very envious. Something that he might spend a year of hard cultivation to achieve, she could possibly accomplish in half a year or less.
The disparity in cultivation is imaginable, yet she didn’t become the pinnacle of geniuses but instead remained comatose here...
Yet, in Ding Fan’s eyes, looking at Long Ren’s worried and grim expression beside him and the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Ice Coffin surrounding the girl, he couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile amidst his sighs. It truly was destiny’s play. This girl should’ve perished from a True Qi explosion years ago, but she happened to have Long Ren, who loved her deeply, and worked tirelessly to save her.
Most importantly, she met him, Ding Fan, at this time. Ding Fan knew that perhaps no one else in the Cultivation World could save her besides him. It was her destiny, prompting Ding Fan to reflect on how life is always full of such dramatic changes...
"Brother, how is it?"
Long Ren looked at Ding Fan’s somewhat complicated expression and couldn’t help but ask cautiously and worriedly, dreading that he might hear another death sentence for Shan Shan from his brother’s mouth. Yet, he was anxious and had to ask.
The Great Elder beside them was also in a heavy mood. He knew almost everything about the Lake Master Long Ren’s attempts to heal the girl in the Ice Coffin, and he understood the depth of the Lake Master’s love for her. Although he heard Ding Fan say there might be a way to awaken her, he was certain that completely healing her was absolutely impossible!
The Great Elder saw Long Ren asking Ding Fan in such a worried and urgent manner, but he didn’t know what to say. He took a deep breath, preparing for the worst. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Ding Fan patted Long Ren on the shoulder and said calmly:
"Relax, it’s good news."
"Really, brother? Are you saying you can heal Shan Shan?"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Long Ren seemed to leap up in joy. His previously worried brows suddenly relaxed in an exaggerated manner, and he looked at Ding Fan with wide eyes filled with surprise and excitement, asking eagerly.
