Chapter 338: Do Not Give Up
There were only two people left to help him up the mountain.After seeing over a dozen patients, more than half were from the north. Most came for medical consultations but only paid with receipts, and...For over forty years, Tan Hao has never given up on Tan Jie, bringing the reanimated Tan Jie along his arduous journey on the Immortal Path.
Not only does one need to diligently accumulate resources for their own cultivation, but they also need to find herbs that sustain Tan Jie's life force and treat his injuries.
No wonder Tan Hao is so embarrassed!
A cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refinement Stage is not considered the lowest tier in the cultivation world. Basic cultivation resources are readily available, and at the very least, an ordinary cave dwelling can still be rented.
But Tan Hao had spent most of his savings on Tan Jie.
No wonder Tan Hao has never been able to build his foundation!

Under such difficult circumstances, it's already very difficult for him to cultivate to the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period.
Unless Tan Hao has a stroke of luck, it's simply impossible for him to accumulate the resources needed for foundation building.
Qin Sang thought about what had happened at the auction and in the secret market, this kind of situation may have happened to Tan Hao countless times.
>Spare no effort to procure every kind of medicine that could be possibly useful for Tan Jie.
Tan Hao took out the Jing Shen Dan he had obtained in the secret market, opened the jade coffin, gently helped Tan Jie up, and used his spiritual power to dissolve the medicinal properties of the Jing Shen Dan and fed it into Tan Jie's mouth.
Even with a powerful elixir that Tan Hao had desperately fought to obtain, Tan Jie's primordial spirit only grew slightly stronger.
Before, it was at the point of oil running out, that faint light about to extinguish in an instant. Now, it is simply a matter of adding a single drop of oil to the lamp, enabling it to burn for a little while longer.
That's all there is to it, you can't change the essence.
The treatment did little to help Tan Jie's injuries, and he remained unconscious with no signs of recovery. This shows just how severe his wounds are.
Qin Sang couldn't help but wonder, was it worth it
Given Tan Hao's current cultivation level, he might not find a cure for Tan Jie's spiritual ailment in his entire life. Even if he miraculously came across one, he wouldn't be able to afford it or grab it.
And his own path of cultivation was also delayed.
The final outcome is not hard to imagine. When Tan Hao's life comes to an end, Tan Jie will die with him as well.
Tan Hao let Tan Jie live for decades, but as a living dead person, he was unconscious, unable to move, and spent his life in confusion, knowing nothing.
Seems meaningless!
>
But looking at Tan Hao's expression, he obviously felt it was all worthwhile.
Perhaps out of guilt towards his younger brother, perhaps out of fraternal affection...
No regrets!
Qin Sang suddenly remembered a person — Qing Ting Senior Sister.
She resembles Tan Hao so much!
Qing Ting's sister is for her Dao partner, Jiang's senior brother. Tan Hao is for his younger brother, Tan Jie.
>
One is love.
The other is brotherhood.
Both of them were like that, giving it their all and never giving up!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Elder Qingting did everything she could to cure Senior Brother Jiang, sparing no expense and exhausting her savings to refine the Fire Crow Order and enter the ruins of the Heavenly Corpse Sect in search of the Heavenly Corpse Talisman.
But because all his magic artifacts were sold for materials, he died at the hands of a malevolent corpse.
>
At the last moment, Master Jiang miraculously woke up. He tightly grasped Senior Sister Qing Ting's hand, and the single tear that rolled down his cheek was the greatest comfort to her.
All her efforts, Senior Brother Jiang knows, were not in vain.
The scene Qin Sang saw in the Corpse Cave was still fresh in his memory, causing him to think a lot. He never expected to see something similar today.
>
In the cultivation world, as long as you haven't died and there's a glimmer of hope, anything is possible!
>
Tan Hao, should also be adhering to this belief, so carrying the burden forward, persisting until now, right
If he chooses to give up on Tan Jie, he will regret it later if there is a real chance to cure Tan Jie.
A wistful expression appeared on Qin Sang's face, his eyes flickering slightly as if lost in thought.
“These spirit liquids have been infused with a medicinal herb called Zi Jin Paste, thanks to Shi Jing's expertise...”
Tan Hao carefully placed Tan Jie back into the coffin, letting him lie once more in the spirit liquid within.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang's gaze turned to the spiritual liquid in the coffin.
In the transparent spirit liquid, a faint purple hue could be seen. These spirit liquids contained a vitality that sustained Tan Jie's physical body from decay. This must be the power of the Zijing Ointment that Tan Hao had mentioned.
>
However, the purple in the Spirit Liquid has become very faint. This means the medicinal power of the Zi Jin Paste probably won't last long; it's almost depleted!
Qin Sang could imagine that if Tan Hao hadn't had an accident this time and had successfully retrieved the Jing Shen Pill, he probably wouldn't have even had time to rest before rushing out again to find medicinal herbs for nourishing Tan Jie's body.
Have these years been like this for Tan Hao all along
“The first time I met Senior Sister Shi, she heard about Tan Jie's situation and without hesitation gave me all her savings. That allowed me to afford the Purple Gold Ointment and catch my breath. I struggled for several years in cultivation and broke through to the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Otherwise, Tan Jie might not have lasted this long. Senior Sister Shi has saved our lives, but we've been unable to repay her…”
When mentioning Shi Jing, Tan Hao's voice was filled with gratitude. He looked at Qin Sang almost pleadingly. The tough man suddenly bowed down and was about to perform a grand bow.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Brother Qin, please, you must save my sister! I am a useless person now, and I don't know what else I can do for you to repay your kindness. This favor will be forever etched in my heart. If I cannot repay it in this life, I will gladly serve you as your ox or horse in the next!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang reacted quickly, throwing out a bolt of spiritual energy to stop Tan Hao from bowing. He said earnestly, "You and I, along with the other two, are fellow disciples. You don't need to say anything; I will do everything in my power to rescue you and Shijie Shi." He waved his hand dismissively. "As for repayment... consider it just a joke, don't mention it again!"
After stopping Tan Hao, Qin Sang walked to the jade coffin and probed Tan Jie's body with his divine sense.
Tan Jie's physical injuries have all recovered, but the most troublesome thing is his soul, just like Master Jiang, it is slowly dissipating.
After carefully examining it, he asked Tan Hao, "Have you had a master skilled in dan medicine take a look at it"
"Got it."
Tan Hao nodded. "Before Tan Jie's injury worsened, we didn't need much medicine, so the pressure wasn't that great. I heard that the Lingdan Pavilion in Yin Shan Pass belonged to the Taiyi Dan Pavilion, and it had alchemists from the Taiyi Danzong inside, but their fees were expensive. I accumulated nearly ten years worth of spirit stones and took Tan Jie to Lingdan Pavilion to consult a master alchemist."
Qin Sang hurriedly asked, "What did he say"
Tan Hao's eyes darkened, and he helplessly said: "That person only glanced at him and concluded that Tan Jie was beyond saving, even with divine intervention. He told me that even if we used the most precious elixir from the Taiyi Dan sect, it wouldn't save Tan Jie. At best, it would let him live a few more years in a daze. He advised me to give up as soon as possible and not waste my efforts."
"But you still persevered."
Qin Sang said with great emotion.
In the Xiaohan Domain, the conclusion drawn by the alchemists of Taiyi Dan Pavilion is almost impossible to overturn, unless a miracle occurs.
"How can I give up on him"
Tan Hao clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with tears as he murmured, "If I had just persevered back then, the one who would have cultivated the Yanluo Banner would be me! My brother...he died for me! How can I give up on him!"
No matter what, I can't give up on him!t looking a bit pale and their steps a little unsteady. But after entering the Stone Valley, they all immediately found a place to meditate for a while before calming down from the discomfort caused b...
