Seeing Qin An's distraught appearance, Zhang Keke felt a pang of pity and couldn't help but say, "Uncle-Master, you should hurry up and send Grandmaster Uncle back to the sect. Perhaps the Supreme Elders and the others have a solution."

After hearing Zhang Keke's words, Qin An's eyes regained a glimmer of understanding. "Yes, perhaps Master's senior brother has a way. Master's injuries must be treated; there's no time to lose." Thinking of this, Qin An felt a surge of motivation, muttering to himself, "There must be a way! There must be a way!"

As Qin An read on, his tone became increasingly firm.

Finally, carrying Shu Lan in his arms, he headed towards the Star River Sect at top speed.

Venerable Lieyang also saw Shulan's injury and was equally anxious. He rushed back to the sect as fast as he could.

After returning to the sect, Qin An quickly settled Shu Lan in the room where his master brother, Tinglan Peak, was.

Then he ran all the way to the Second Elder's residence.

Because Qin An was distracted, he stumbled and fell the whole way.

When Qin An found the Second Elder, the Second Elder was still tending to his herbs in his herb garden.

Upon seeing the Second Elder, Qin An grabbed his arm without a word and ran towards his master's courtyard.

"Hey! Why did you drag me there?! I still need to take care of the herbs! Otherwise, if the herbs die, will you compensate me?!" The Second Elder was a little angry, his tone filled with anger.

Qin An ignored him and continued to pull the Second Elder's arm, dragging him into his master's room.

"What exactly do you want me to do..." When the Second Elder saw Shu Lan lying on the bed, covered in wounds and looking weak, his voice suddenly stopped. "Heavens! Who hurt my uncle like this?!" The Second Elder's voice suddenly rose several decibels, making Qin An's ears ring.

Now, Qin An didn't need to say anything. The Second Elder stepped forward, gently took Shu Lan's arm, placed his fingers lightly on Shu Lan's wrist, and then infused a wisp of spiritual energy to check on Shu Lan's condition.

The more the Second Elder examined the document, the deeper his brow furrowed. Finally, he gently shook his head and sighed. "Alas!"

"Second Elder, how is my master?!" Qin An stood to the side, very anxious, afraid of hearing bad news. After seeing the Second Elder's actions, he became even more uneasy.

"His physical injuries are severe, but that's a minor matter; he can recover with careful recuperation. However, your master's soul is severely damaged and on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for that strange flame nourishing his soul, his condition would probably be even worse now." The Second Elder's expression was very serious, and he stated his diagnosis with a heavy heart.

Upon hearing the Second Elder's words that he was no different from the medical cultivator elder, Qin An involuntarily took two steps back and then fell to the ground with a thud. The Second Elder's words completely dispelled the last glimmer of hope in Qin An's heart.

Qin An couldn't help but look up at the Second Elder with hopeful eyes: "Then, is there any hope for Master?"

Seeing Qin An's expectant look, the Second Elder felt a pang of pity. He hardened his heart and abruptly closed his eyes: "I have no way to heal your master. This injury to the soul is not so easy to resolve."

Hearing the Second Elder's words, Qin An was greatly discouraged. His eyes dimmed, and he murmured, "Is there really no way?"

"However, there is something that can alleviate your master's symptoms, and may even improve his condition." The Second Elder suddenly remembered something and spoke cautiously.

"What is it?" A glint of light flashed in Qin An's eyes as he desperately grasped at this last straw.

"Millennial Cold Jade," the Second Elder said, referring to the object. "Millennial Cold Jade has the effect of nourishing the soul. If you can find a large piece of Millennial Cold Jade and carve it into a Cold Jade Bed, and then have your master stay on it, it should be able to nourish the soul." However, whether your master can wake up is unknown.

The Second Elder didn't say the last sentence aloud, because he couldn't bear to discourage Qin An any further and wanted to give him a glimmer of hope.

"The Thousand-Year Cold Jade, is it? I'll go find it right away!" Having obtained the information he wanted, Qin An mustered his spirits and quickly left the Star River Sect for the extreme cold to search for the Thousand-Year Cold Jade. This was the only way to save his master and brother; he had to find it himself.

After Qin An left, the Second Elder began to treat Shu Lan's physical injuries.

A moment later, Venerable Lieyang also arrived at Shulan's room.

Upon returning to the Star River Sect, Venerable Lieyang first went to the sect's rear hall to examine Shu Lan's natal soul lamp.

Shu Lan's natal soul lamp had only a faint spark left, but fortunately, it hadn't completely gone out, indicating that Shu Lan hadn't perished. However, the state of her natal soul lamp also suggested that Shu Lan's current condition was very poor.

Therefore, after examining Shu Lan's natal soul lamp, Venerable Lieyang immediately went to Shu Lan's room.

Seeing the busy Second Elder, Venerable Lieyang asked, "How is Junior Brother now?"

"Not very optimistic." The Second Elder shook his head, then repeated what he had told Qin An to Venerable Lieyang, and also told Venerable Lieyang about Qin An's trip to find the Millennium Cold Jade.

Venerable Lieyang frowned. "Then, please, Second Elder, do everything in your power to save my junior brother. Now, we can only wait for news from that brat Qin An."

"I will do everything in my power to save my uncle!" the Second Elder said resolutely.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I won't bother you any longer." Venerable Lieyang felt powerless, not even knowing how to help his junior brother, which weighed heavily on his mind.

After Venerable Lieyang left, the Second Elder first treated most of Shu Lan's injuries, then fed him a healing pill, and finally gave him a pill to stabilize his soul, which he reluctantly gave to Shu Lan.

This elixir for stabilizing the soul is a rare and precious item; even I only have one, so I can only feed it to my uncle for now.

The Second Elder sighed and then left Shu Lan's room.

Just when Shu Lan was the only one left in the room, the painting of immortals that Shu Lan had been hanging on the wall suddenly began to glow faintly. Then, Shu Lan's soul flashed between her brows and then instantly entered the painting of immortals.

After absorbing Shu Lan's divine soul, the celestial vision painting returned to calm.
