I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

After examining the old lady in the ward, Qin Ge already had a good idea of ​​what was going on. "President Hu, I have a way to prolong your mother's life, but at most a year or two."

"If you agree to let me do this, please all leave now and don't let anyone come in and disturb my treatment."

"Brother Qin, is everything you said true?" Hu Qingshan's voice trembled with excitement. He would be more than satisfied with just ten days or half a month, let alone a year or two.

Next month will be his mother's 100th birthday. Hu Qingshan will feel no regrets if he can see his mother pass away at the age of 100.

"Xiao Qin, do you really have a way?"

"Can I...?"

Sun Shizheng's gaze was burning with fervor. If Qin Ge really had a way to prolong life, he would certainly want to stay and witness it, but he was interrupted by Qin Ge as soon as he opened his mouth.

"President Hu, time is running out. Your mother's life force is rapidly fading. If she breathes her last, there will be nothing I can do."

Qin Ge deliberately interrupted Sun Shizheng; he didn't want anyone to see his treatment process.

It can't be explained by spiritual energy.

When he received Hu Qingshan's black jade pendant, he sensed the pure spiritual energy surging within it. It was a rare object containing primordial spiritual energy!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qin!"

Hu Qingshan gestured, "Dr. Sun, let's go out first and not disturb Brother Qin's treatment."

After Sun Shizheng and Hu Qingshan reluctantly left the ward, Qin Ge immediately channeled spiritual energy into the old lady on the bed to keep her alive, and then began to study the pendant.

Qin Ge held the jade pendant in his palm and slowly circulated his spiritual energy.

As soon as the spiritual energy circulated through the meridians, the black jade pendant in the palm of the hand trembled violently, and the spiral patterns on its surface suddenly lit up.

A rich spiritual energy emanated from the pendant, flowing into his body like a rushing stream from his fingertips!

This spiritual energy was rich and gentle, without any stagnation, and instantly merged with the spiritual energy within Qin Ge's body.

Qin Ge felt a tingling, throbbing pain in his meridians, followed by an unprecedented sense of comfort. His spiritual energy became more condensed and substantial, and his cultivation level directly jumped to the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage!

His body trembled, and he was overjoyed. The next step would be the late stage of Qi Refining. At this rate, Foundation Establishment would be just around the corner!

Qin Ge suppressed the excitement in his heart, circulated his spiritual energy again, and guided a portion of his refined spiritual energy back into the pendant.

The pendant became a vessel for spiritual energy, which the old lady carried with her to nourish her body and mind and provide a continuous source of vitality, so that he would not have to prolong her life every three to five days.

Before long, the pendant regained its warm and understated appearance, and the spiritual energy within it flowed smoothly.

Qin Ge hung the pendant around the old lady's neck, then gathered a wisp of gentle spiritual energy at his fingertips and lightly touched the old lady's brow.

The spiritual energy, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, slowly flowed into the old woman's body, awakening her dormant vitality.

......

"Dr. Sun, in your opinion, is it really possible for Brother Qin to extend the life of someone whose lifespan is nearing its end?"

Outside the ward, Hu Qingshan waited anxiously, wanting to hear the opinion of Sun Shizheng, a professional, so that he could calm his mind.

He had already given up hope when he heard Sun Shizheng's diagnosis, but he didn't expect Qin Ge to pull this stunt, and his heart really couldn't take it.

"I'm ashamed to say I can't judge," Sun Shizheng said with an awkward smile. "Xiao Qin's medical skills are beyond my comprehension. Sometimes I even doubt whether he's from this world."

"Grandpa..." Sun Miaomiao bit her lip, feeling very nervous.

If Qin Ge really manages to save the old lady, it would solidify the fact that Qin Ge's medical skills far surpass those of her grandfather, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, which would damage her grandfather's reputation.

The last time I saved Xia Siyuan might have been a coincidence, but it can't be a coincidence both times, right?

The outside world doesn't care whether the old lady is truly beyond saving; all they see is that Sun Shizheng is helpless, while Qin Ge has saved her.

Hong Zhendong remained silent, his heart pounding like a drum, silently praying that nothing would go wrong.

At that moment, the ward door opened.

Upon seeing Qin Ge appear, everyone was so tense that they forgot to breathe.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? Is there something on my face?"

"The old lady is awake. I don't know what to say to her. Please come in!"

Qin Ge waved, then turned and went back to the ward.

Everyone remained motionless. Just moments ago, they had only forgotten to breathe, but now it seemed as if their minds had stopped working.

What did Qin Ge just say? The old lady woke up?

He's really awake?!

"Mom—!" Hu Qingshan saw that his mother was awake and sitting half-upright against the headboard. He burst into tears and rushed to the bedside.

"Qingshan, how old are you? Why are you still crying? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?" The old lady reached out her hand tremblingly and stroked her son's white hair, her eyes full of love.

"As long as Mom is here, I will always be your child!" Hu Qingshan didn't care about other people's opinions at all.

He didn't really need to care; apart from Qin Ge, Hong Zhendong, Sun Miaomiao, and the others in the ward were still in a daze.

"Brother Qin, this is..." Hu Qingshan was stunned for a moment when he saw the pendant hanging around his mother's neck.

"Slap—" Hu Qingshan slapped himself cleanly across the face. "Brother Qin, I'm not human; I was just being petty and judging a gentleman by my own standards!"

"I was ashamed to have thought you wanted this pendant because it was valuable."

"You're really alright now? Grandma, how are you feeling?" Sun Shizheng couldn't care less about anything else and stepped forward to take the old lady's pulse.

"She's really alright!" Sun Shizheng stood up after taking Qin Ge's pulse, excitedly grasping her hand. "Little Qin, how did you do that?"

"Professor Sun, I'm so sorry, I can't tell you about this," Qin Ge said apologetically. "Please keep what happened today a secret from everyone here; I don't want to get into trouble."

"President Hu, you can continue your casual conversation later. I have something to tell you."

Hu Qingshan's filial piety impressed him.

Hu Qingshan is a straightforward person. He could have kept his thoughts to himself, but if he hadn't, who would have known?

Upon arriving outside the ward and making sure no one was around, Qin Ge spoke up, saying, "President Hu, please make sure your mother carries that black jade pendant with her at all times and never lets it out of her sight."

"I can tell you very clearly that she is currently relying on that pendant to stay alive. You should know the consequences once it's removed from her body."

"I know the Aoyama Chamber of Commerce is powerful, but I still suggest that the fewer people who know the secret about that pendant, the better."

"If others knew the purpose of that pendant, it's hard to guarantee that no one would covet it."

"As long as the jade is there, the old lady is alive. I estimate that the pendant can extend her life by at least two years. If it is lost, I will be helpless even if you come to me."
