Chapter 796: Hope

"Girl, there is one more thing I must explain to you. Even if we find Qianshan Snow Lotus, the chance of being able to save Bai Chen is less than one in ten thousand..."

! !

Tang Qin's delicate body trembled and she tilted her head slightly, looking at the handsome silhouette of the young man in black robe with frozen eyebrows. After being silent for a long time, she finally rushed out of the room.

Tang Qin stepped on the sky and flew eastward, and Xiaoyou stepped on the blue bird and flew westward.

Watching the two girls disappear into the vast sky, Xia Daotian half-opened his lips and couldn't recover for a long time.

According to his prediction, Bai Chen has two spiritual sources after all, so the limit he can last is three days!

During these three days, he just hoped that a miracle would happen.

…

night.

The north wind was blowing with smoke and snow, and the strong wind howled like a ghost outside the window. Occasionally, there were indescribable screams, which disturbed Xia Daotian's heart in the hut at this night.

When he came to the bed, he took off the towel from Bai Chen's forehead, dipped it in hot water again, and then put it back.

"Boss, my old man, I have lived with my parents in Beichuan since I was a child. Every winter there, it is so cold. The door is closed by heavy snow, the water tank in the house will freeze, and even my parents are in a snowstorm. Frozen into an ice sculpture.

Later, I followed the migrating people to Cangzhou, where I met an alchemist who had retired from the world. He saw that I was pitiful and adopted me.

You also know that although I, Lao Xia, have a good reputation, I really have no talent in refining medicine. Hehe, after several explosions of cauldrons, my adoptive father was so angry that he demolished the house.

Later, he piled all the books on refining medicine in a cave, forcing me to write and memorize them every day. At that time, the boring life made me forget the kindness of my adoptive father and only look forward to it. If he could die earlier, I could be free...

Boss, you must think I'm disgusting, right? I'm so ungrateful, but in fact, I'm just having fun. After all, I was only eight years old that year.

Later, my adoptive father really fulfilled my curse and died outside. The person who killed him was a wealthy family who spent a lot of money to hire assassins from the Moon God Sect, so my adoptive father could not escape this disaster.

In order to take revenge, I sneaked into that big house and killed everyone.

In the end, my great revenge was avenged, but I lost my second family. I pursued my path as an alchemist alone and spent dozens of years in the ridicule of the world.

Until finally, I met you in Yancheng..."

Staring at Bai Chenxiang's sleeping face with dull eyes, Xia Daotian burst into tears: "Boss, you promised to take me to the top of my life. You can't make a mistake. You are my only relative in this life, Xia Daotian -"

The old figure was trembling violently against the faint candlelight. Xia Daotian's cry and the woman's cry from a room outside the window were intertwined, spread into the cold wind, and slowly dispersed. .

At a certain moment, Bai Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

"ah--"

A sound like a ghost's soul suddenly resounded through the room, making Xia Daotian tremble.

He looked up and saw that Bai Chen had sat up, his eyes were blood red, and his originally delicate face was now covered with layers of blood veins, looking extremely terrifying.

"Oh my God, boss, don't scare me. You know that I, Xia, am timid!"

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Xia Daotian was immediately horrified, howled miserably, and hid in the corner of the room.

As if hearing his voice, Bai Chen turned his head stiffly, staring at Xia Daotian with his empty blood-red eyes, making him almost kneel on the ground holding his head and shaking.

"Old...Xia, ah——!"

Bai Chen's eyes suddenly turned from red to jet black. He stood up suddenly and roared to the sky. The terrifying black flames instantly formed a violent storm, sweeping the world in an instant!

The temperature of the Chaos Holy Flame climbed so strangely that even the rocks could not bear it and burst. All the surrounding houses and the people in the village were completely reduced to ashes in this black storm...

After all the chaotic holy flames in his body were erupted, Bai Chen's eyes were dull, and he lay on the ground again, closing his eyes, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

At this time, not far from him, a small golden formation gradually dissipated its brilliance. The trembling Xia Daotian inside looked at the endless scorched earth and finally couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry: "Ah! Boss, I knew you still care. Oh my god, you have lost your mind and can still protect me, but I can’t save you. I’m so ashamed of you—God, please save him!”

…

After crying until his throat became dry and hoarse, and his eyes ran out of tears, Xia Daotian picked up Bai Chen and walked along the flat scorched earth into the wind.

He found a cave, laid Bai Chen flat in the cave, then cut down a pine tree and lit a fire.

In the narrow cave, the firelight illuminated Bai Chen's profile, and Xia Daotian sat helplessly on the cave wall, his eyes empty and his expression dull.

Ever since Bai Chen burst out from the Holy Chaos Flame, the coldness in his body has become even more intense. He was originally expected to survive for three days, but now he may not be able to survive even one night.

Even if Tang Qin could bring back thousand-year-old snow lotus, with Xia Daotian's alchemy skills, it would be impossible to refine a life-saving fourth-grade elixir overnight. What's more, after calming down, Xia Daotian suddenly realized that his purple Mo Ding is now as big as a little finger. If Bai Chen can't break the Sky Splitting Formation, he won't be able to refine medicine at all.

"There is no hope."

"Boss, I'm sorry. After you die, I will bury you on the highest snow peak. A proud person like you must sleep higher than anyone else even if you die..."

"Boss..."

Just as Xia Daotian walked out of the cave with a long sigh, a faint light suddenly appeared in the moonlit night sky with snowflakes flying outside, rushing towards this side quickly.

This light, like a star of hope among thousands of stars, flashed with blue light, and fell in front of Xia Daotian in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the delicate and graceful face of the woman in the red dress in front of him, Xia Daotian's old eyes opened sharply as if they were rekindled: "Haha! There is salvation, there is salvation, there is salvation! God has eyes!"

This arrogant woman who is not stained with makeup but is more arrogant than Tianhuang is none other than the eldest lady of Fengshen Temple, Chu Junran!

Staring at the scorched earth around, Chu Junran raised her eyes, her pretty face frowned with a hint of coldness: "You are... the old man next to Bai Chen?"

"Yes, it's me! Bai Chen is in the cave now, come on, Miss Chu, come in!"

Xia Daotian wiped the tears with his sleeves and said impatiently.

However, Chu Junran took a step back, her face darkened: "Bai Chen is in there?! Humph... I have nothing to do with him anymore, just pretend I have never been here, I'm leaving!"
