Chapter 772: Chapter 772: It Is Connected to You
"This piece of Sun Essence Gold was passed down from my ancestors. It’s said that a thousand years ago a Dao‑attaining master found it in the Far West Land, and that master exhausted his entire lifetime of strength to refine it into what it is now."
As Jiang Heping introduced it, a pained expression appeared on his face.
If not for his daughter’s life, he would absolutely never hand over this ancestral treasure.
He stepped forward, gently stroking the glass of the display case, his tone tinged with emotion: "Over these years, the Jiang Family has faced crises several times, and I couldn’t bear to sell it. Later I accidentally discovered that the Sun Essence Gold could suppress Yu’s condition, so I became even less willing to sell it. Now, don’t say the Sun Essence Gold—if you wanted my life, I’d be willing to give it too."
"Mr. Yang, I trust your character. You must do everything you can to save her. Whatever requests you have, just say them. As long as I can do it, I will agree."
Feeling the sincere emotions of a father flowing out, Yang Cheng was somewhat moved. He couldn’t help but think of his own father, and his tone softened a great deal: "Patriarch Jiang, rest assured. I will definitely spare no effort to cure Miss Jiang."
"I believe you."
Jiang Heping smiled slightly, opened the display case, and took out that piece of Sun Essence Gold.
The moment it entered his hand, Yang Cheng felt a surging heat welling up from his palm, as if he were holding a miniature sun.
No wonder the Sun Essence Gold could be used to suppress Jiang Yu’s condition—the energy contained within it truly could subdue the surging power in her body.
He clenched the Sun Essence Gold in his hand. Its weight far exceeded his expectations—a fist‑sized piece weighed dozens of jin; an ordinary person definitely wouldn’t be able to lift it.
Even more miraculous, when he circulated his Cultivation Technique and his True Qi just touched the Sun Essence Gold, the light on that metal surface suddenly became even more dazzling, as if responding to him.
"It’s glowing!"
Cheng Qiyue spoke in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
The glow of the Sun Essence Gold was now several degrees stronger than before, and it faintly carried a sense of resonance with his True Qi, as if it possessed life.
"Looks like it’s fated with you."
Jiang Heping laughed and said, "My ancestors left word that the Sun Essence Gold has spiritual intelligence and will choose its own master. Quite a few people have come here for its fame and seen it, but in other people’s hands, it never reacted at all, just a piece of ordinary golden stone. This is the first time I’ve felt the Sun Essence Gold emit such a dazzling light."
He was extremely pleased in his heart. Though he didn’t know much about Yang Cheng, anyone chosen by the Sun Essence Gold must certainly have great ability.
Yang Cheng withdrew his True Qi and carefully placed the Sun Essence Gold into the prepared Jade Box, then said, "Many thanks for your understanding, Patriarch Jiang."
"I just tested Miss Jiang. If there had been no reaction today, I would have had to send the Sun Essence Gold back to Zhonghai first."
"Isn’t this Sun Essence Gold for your own use?"
Jiang Heping asked with some confusion.
"To tell the truth, I want the Sun Essence Gold to forge a weapon. I just happen to be lacking this material. Sending it back to Zhonghai is to hand it over to a Weapon Master."
Yang Cheng explained.
Jiang Heping nodded: "So that’s how it is. Then please come back as soon as you can. Yu’s condition is extremely dangerous, and I’m worried something unexpected will happen while you’re away."
"Alright."
Yang Cheng agreed. Naturally he was also worried about Jiang Yu’s illness, but with such an important item as the Sun Essence Gold, he couldn’t feel at ease letting Cheng Qiyue take it back alone. If they ran into bandits on the road, all their efforts would be in vain.
The two of them talked as they walked away. Just as they reached the main courtyard, they suddenly heard a shrill scream from the upper floor.
"What’s going on? Why are you screaming!"
Jiang Heping immediately rushed out, asking in displeasure.
"Family Head, it seems the sound came from Miss Jiang’s side."
The butler reminded him. Jiang Heping’s expression changed abruptly; taking the stairs two, three steps at a time, he charged upstairs. Sure enough, he saw a maid standing at the door, her whole body trembling in fear.
"Who allowed you to shout and scream here? If you wake Yu, I won’t spare you!"
Jiang Heping bellowed in anger, scaring the woman so badly she fell on her butt to the floor, her voice trembling: "M‑Miss, she..."
At the side, Yang Cheng immediately sensed something was wrong. With a stride he rushed into the room, and his pupils tightened violently.
Jiang Heping, Cheng Qiyue, and the others followed close behind. The moment they entered, they all involuntarily sucked in a cold breath. They simply could not believe the scene before their eyes.
On the bed, Jiang Yu’s skin had become almost transparent, the blood vessels inside her body clearly visible. Her face was as pale as paper; she looked like a fake figure cast entirely from glass.
"Yu!"
Jiang Heping cried out in collapse, staggering as he rushed toward the bed, but was yanked back by Yang Cheng.
"Don’t come near. Miss Jiang’s situation is extremely dangerous. I have to rescue her immediately. All of you go out. No one is to disturb me."
With that, Yang Cheng took a stride forward, pulled out a Silver Needle, and precisely pierced it into one of Jiang Yu’s acupoints, channeling his True Qi into her body along the Silver Needle.
"Urgh..."
A muffled groan of pain came from Jiang Yu’s mouth, and then her body began to tremble. Her frail frame looked as if it were about to shatter.
Seeing this, Jiang Heping’s eyes almost split apart with grief. He struggled, still wanting to rush up, but was held back by Cheng Qiyue.
"Patriarch Jiang, calm down. You must trust Yang Cheng’s medical skills. Since he could bring Miss Jiang back from the brink of death, this time he will certainly keep her safe as well."
She had just finished speaking when she forcibly dragged Jiang Heping out and closed the door with a swipe of her hand.
Jiang Heping panted heavily, his eyes full of worry as he stared at the door, grinding his teeth: "Didn’t he say it was just a test? Why would Yu become like that? What exactly did he do to her?"
"It really was just a test. It’s just that we didn’t expect Miss Jiang’s reaction to be so intense. Since Yang Cheng dared to test, it means he’s confident he can cure her. If he doesn’t do this, Miss Jiang will only ever keep her life hanging by a thread and will never truly recover."
Cheng Qiyue tried to persuade him.
Only then did Jiang Heping’s expression ease somewhat. His tone softened: "Miss Cheng, I’m sorry. My tone just now wasn’t very good. I’m just worried about Yu."
Right now their only hope was Yang Cheng. He didn’t dare offend these two; otherwise, if they simply left with the Sun Essence Gold, he wouldn’t be able to stop them.
"It’s fine. I understand how you feel."
Cheng Qiyue didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she deeply envied that Jiang Yu had such a good father. In fact, her own father had been very good too; it was just a pity he died when she was still very young.
Inside the room at this moment, Yang Cheng immediately protected Jiang Yu’s cardiac meridian, then began using his True Qi to examine her body. That force inside was indeed exceptionally violent.
He endured the oppressive pressure of that force and continued probing inward, clearly seeing the dark‑red glow radiating within Jiang Yu’s bloodline.
The blood content in her body had plummeted, shrouded in a layer of mist that was spreading toward her limbs and bones. That power had completely taken control of her body; even the blood in her heart was close to being emptied out, and the operation of her entire body had fallen into a state of stagnation.
