Chapter 871 Blood Injection and Marrow Washing
"Brother Liu's pulse has returned, he has survived the most critical crisis!"

Seeing Pan Yuyin's eyes filled with tears of excitement, Xunzhen breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He slowly stood up and silently watched Liu Xunyi, whose breath had recovered and whose bleeding had slowed down. An indescribable complexity flashed across his eyes.

Until this moment, Abaolu, Xiao Yang and others were still immersed in the shock of the scene just now, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

"Miss Xunzhen, it's all thanks to you that Brother Liu was able to survive the first life-and-death test!"

"The first life-and-death test?" Xunzhen was stunned and asked suspiciously, "You mean... he is still in danger?"

Hearing this, Pan Yuyin's body trembled slightly, but she did not answer.

After she had bandaged Liu Xunyi's wound and changed her bedding, she stood up tremblingly. When she turned to look at Xunzhen, there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Miss Pan, what are you doing..."

"Although Brother Liu made it through one level, the sword pierced his chest and caused him to lose too much blood. His life is still in danger. In particular, his heart and lungs were injured, which put his ability to heal himself at risk. Therefore, whether Brother Liu can hold on to the end... depends on God's will."

Having said this, Pan Yuyin reached into her bosom, pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to the uneasy Xunzhen.

"This is……"

Facing Xunzhen, who looked bewildered, Pan Yuyin pointed to the corner of her mouth and said awkwardly, "Miss Xunzhen, there is blood from Brother Liu on your lips."

Just these words made Xunzhen's cheeks flush instantly. He hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped his lips carelessly, saying perfunctorily: "Miss Pan, please don't misunderstand. I was just eager to save people..."

"No, no, no! I should be the one who said 'don't misunderstand'." Pan Yuyin said in panic, "If it weren't for Miss Xunzhen's quick thinking, I'm afraid Brother Liu would have suffocated to death..."

"Forget it!" Xunzhen seemed unwilling to dwell on this topic, so he changed the subject and said hesitantly, "Since Liu Xunyi has lost too much blood and cannot recover on his own, I wonder if Miss Pan has any way to save him? After all, this matter concerns Liu Xunyi's life and death, and we can't just rely on God's will."

"Brother Liu's old injury hasn't healed yet, and he has a new one, which is one injury upon another. This time he injured his heart and lungs, which is the most serious injury. I am not good at martial arts, so I really..." Pan Yuyin said guiltily, "If Master was here, she would definitely help Brother Liu recover."

"Where is Granny Taohua now?"

"She is in Changbai Mountain for..." At this point, Pan Yuyin was stunned and looked surprised, "Why do you ask this, Miss Xunzhen? Do you want to..."

"Why not?" Xunzhen said nonchalantly, "There is no place for Liu Xunyi in the Central Plains anyway, so why not send him to Changbai Mountain to heal his wounds? He can also escape the pursuit of the court and the martial arts world."

"This method is good, but..." Pan Yuyin was delighted at first, but then she became worried. "But Changbai Mountain is thousands of miles away. With Brother Liu's current injuries, resting is not enough to save his life. If he travels a long distance... I'm afraid he will be in danger."

Hearing this, Xunzhen subconsciously cast his eyes towards Liu Xunyi, whose face was as pale as wax and whose lips were bloodless. There was no need to ask about his injuries. Just by looking at his half-dead and barely breathing appearance, Xunzhen knew that Pan Yuyin's worries were not exaggerated.

"His injuries... can they be healed by medicinal herbs?"

"Ordinary medicinal herbs are not very effective for Brother Liu's injuries. If there were rare treasures like the Tianshan Snow Lotus, it might be able to help him recuperate." Pan Yuyin said timidly, "But right now..."

"The treasures of nature are in short supply, and most of them are hidden away by people. You can only come across them but not seek them." Xunzhen shook his head and sighed, "It seems that this method will not work."

"Besides this, Master once taught me another way to prolong my life..." Pan Yuyin hesitated, as if she was hesitant to speak, "It's just that I'm not 100% sure about this method..."

"We have already given Liu Xunyi a last-ditch effort, so how can we be 100% sure?" Xunzhen interrupted, "Miss Pan, just tell us what you think. As for whether it will work... we can discuss it slowly."

"This method is called 'blood injection and marrow washing'. You need to find a person with a strong body and a bloodline compatible with Brother Liu, and inject his blood into Brother Liu's body through the wound to help activate his meridians and nourish his internal organs, achieving the effect of 'condensing vital energy, clearing the meridians and washing the marrow'." Pan Yuyin recalled Granny Taohua's teachings while explaining the method of "blood injection and marrow washing". "Brother Liu's wound has not healed for a long time, so that almost one-third of the blood in his body has been lost, causing him to suffer a great loss of vital energy, and it is difficult for his essence and internal organs to recover on their own. If we can use someone with a bloodline compatible with him to 'inject blood and wash the marrow' for him, although he cannot be cured, at least his life can be prolonged."

Pan Yuyin's explanation was so novel and intriguing to Abaolu and his companions.

"What does blood compatibility mean?" Xunzhen did not directly state his opinion, but asked thoughtfully, "Are you looking for his blood relatives?"

"Blood relatives are naturally the best, but there is still a chance for non-relatives." Pan Yuyin replied, "Master once told me that the bloodlines of the world are not ever-changing, but only a few, and they are similar to each other. As long as the blood of two people mixes with each other, there is a great chance that their bloodlines will match."

"Great chance?" Xunzhen heard something strange in Pan Yuyin's words and pondered, "You mean... even if the blood is mixed, it may not be compatible?"

"That's right." Pan Yuyin nodded bitterly, "That's why I said this method is not 100% certain."

"What will happen if 'Blood Injection and Marrow Washing' is incompatible with Liu Xunyi's bloodline?"

Pan Yuyin's expression changed slightly, and she said reluctantly, "Once the blood is incompatible, the injured person...will definitely die."

"hiss!"

When these words were spoken, Xunzhen, Abaolu and others were all shocked and took a deep breath.

"This method doesn't sound like a cure, but rather a sorcery. Will your master deceive you?"

"No!" Facing Xiao Yang's doubts, Pan Yuyin refuted with a solemn oath, "Human life is at stake, Master would never joke about such a thing." "This..."

Looking at Pan Yuyin's righteous words, Xunzhen secretly calculated in his heart: "Right now, Liu Xunyi is being sought by the court and the underworld, and he himself is seriously injured, so it is inconvenient for him to move. If he doesn't go to Changbai Mountain to heal his wounds, he will become a disabled person if he survives. Luo Tianjin's failure has delayed the young king of Qin too much time. If Liu Xunyi follows in his footsteps again..."

Thinking of this, Xunzhen suddenly became serious and said, "Since we have to try our best, let's give it a try!"

"Miss Xunzhen means..."

"You all try to merge your blood with Liu Xunyi one by one to see if there is anyone who is compatible." Xunzhen ignored the reactions of Abaolu and the others and said in an unquestionable tone, "If there is anyone whose blood is compatible with Liu Xunyi, he will 'infuse blood and cleanse marrow' for him."

"But……"

"Miss Pan, what should they do?"

Without giving Abaolu a chance to speak, Xunzhen cast a firm gaze towards the astonished Pan Yuyin.

"Um...you cut your finger with a knife and then drip the blood into the water..."

While talking, Pan Yuyin found a few tea bowls, poured water into each, then wrung out a few drops of blood from Liu Xunyi's clothes, and then asked Abaolu and the others to drop their blood into different tea bowls.

What's interesting is that after all the trouble, none of Abaolu and his companions were of the same bloodline as Liu Xunyi, which disappointed Pan Yuyin and Xunzhen who were full of expectations.

"Xiao Yang, let them all come in and try!"

At Xunzhen's command, twenty or thirty masters from the Western Regions took turns to try by dripping blood.

I don’t know if it’s fate, but among so many people, not one has the same bloodline as Liu Xunyi.

In the end, even the frail Pan Yuyin cut her fingers in an attempt to find hope, but the result was still counterproductive.

"We have tried our best, but unfortunately it is hard to defy fate." Seeing Xunzhen depressed and unhappy, Abaolu hurried forward to comfort him, "Next, it depends on Liu Xunyi's own luck!"

"No!" Xunzhen waved his hand and said, "No one can make a conclusion until the last moment."

"This..." Abaolu was stunned, "But just now all of us have..."

"There's still one person who hasn't tried it yet."

"There's another person?" Abaolu shook his big head and looked around, asking, "Who else..."

"I!"

"you?"

"That's right!" Xunzhen ignored Abaolu's surprise, picked up the dagger on the table, and said calmly, "Now I'm the only one who hasn't tried it, maybe..."

“No maybe!” Abaolu’s face suddenly changed. He quickly snatched the dagger and said in a deep voice, “We can do it, but you can’t!”

"Why can't I?"

"How can you damage your body for Liu Xunyi? It's not worth it..."

"Don't worry. Even if the blood is compatible, the method of 'blood injection and marrow washing' will not cause much damage to the body of the rescuer." Pan Yuyin interrupted angrily, "You may feel a little tired afterwards, but drink two more bowls of black chicken and ginseng soup, and you will be back to normal in three to five days..."

"That won't work either!" Abaolu was firm and refused to give in.

"I believe Miss Pan would not lie to me. Besides, the most urgent thing is to save Liu Xunyi's life. Other things are not important."

After saying that, the stubborn Xunzhen suddenly reached out and took off the hairpin on Pan Yuyin's head. Before Abaolu could stop her, she had quickly pierced her finger, and a drop of bright red blood quietly seeped out along her white fingertips and fell into the water with a "plop".

Seeing this scene, everyone present held their breath and stared at the two red balls in the tea bowl with wide eyes. Even Abaolu, who was strongly opposed, subconsciously closed his mouth and stared at the tea bowl without blinking, his brows full of tension and anxiety.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and amidst thousands of thoughts, a magical scene quietly unfolds in the tea bowl.

The drops of Liu Xunyi's blood and Xunzhen's blood floated strangely in the water as if they were in telepathy. The two came into contact with each other, and after a unique spiritual interweaving and entanglement, the two drops of blood blended with each other unconsciously, until you were in me and I was in you, and then they merged into one, inseparable.
