Chen Nan suddenly felt all his strength drained, his body trembled and wobbled, and he hurriedly braced himself with his hands on the stone bed to steady himself.

"How do you feel?"

Liu Zhong quickly approached and channeled his Inner Strength into Chen Nan.

With the aid of Liu Zhong's Inner Strength, Chen Nan regained a lot of his strength, but due to insufficient vitality, his complexion was still quite poor. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Liu Zhong said, "How about I take you to rest first?"

"It's no bother, I already feel much better." Just as Chen Nan finished speaking, he blacked out and fainted.

However, at the moment he fainted, his mind was suddenly clear. A white curtain of light appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, and a human figure coalesced.

This figure was covered with veins, some thick and some thin, resembling a diagram of human meridians. Then, Chen Nan saw a stream of energy flowing through these veins, appearing just like Inner Strength coursing through the body's meridians.

What's happening now?

Chen Nan was puzzled. Wasn't he unconscious? How could he be so clear-headed now, and why was there such a scene in his Sea of Consciousness?

Could it be that after his blood entered the body of the Liu family ancestor, some connection was formed, and the scene he saw in his Sea of Consciousness was the Cultivation Technique Qi Cultivation Diagram of the Liu family ancestor?

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Nan soon felt his consciousness gradually blur, and then he completely fell into a coma.

...

When Chen Nan woke up again, he found himself back in his room, lying on the bed.

Beside him, Liu Tiantian was keeping watch, never leaving his side.

"Cousin, you finally woke up! I was worried sick," Liu Tiantian exclaimed excitedly when she saw Chen Nan open his eyes.

Chen Nan propped himself up on the bed and asked, "How long have I slept?"

He was somewhat puzzled. Previously, Liu Tiantian was only at Third Level of Taoist, but now she was already at the Seventh Level. Given her habit of breaking through one level each day, could he have been unconscious for four days?

Sure enough, Liu Tiantian confirmed his suspicions: "You've been asleep for four days, and I've been feeding you all sorts of tonics every day, but you just wouldn't wake up."

"I really slept for four days!"

Chen Nan jumped off the bed, feeling a bit emotionally stirred, and said, "That means five days have passed since the first day I came, and Yiyi has only two days left."

Liu Tiantian grabbed his hand and quickly said, "Don't worry, cousin, we'll definitely make it in time. Sister Yiyi will be fine."

"No, I must quickly find your father and get the Water of Life and return." Chen Nan glanced at the door, took Liu Tiantian by the hand, and said, "Tiantian, come with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Tiantian obediently nodded and went out with Chen Nan.

Outside Liu Zhong's study, Chen Nan knocked on the door several times, but there was no response. Liu Tiantian simply pushed the door open, only to find Liu Zhong was not there.

Liu Tiantian scratched her head and said, "That troublesome dad, where has he run off to at a critical moment? He's nothing like a reliable dad."

Chen Nan knew she was referring to her biological father, Liu Zhong, and the reliable dad must be her adoptive father, Liu Xin.

One Liu Zhong, one Liu Xin.

These names made Chen Nan wonder about their relationship.

Since ancient times, loyalty and faithfulness have always been inseparable, and these two names sounded like they were from the same clan.

But Chen Nan did not have the luxury to think about these matters now; to him, nothing was more important than the Water of Life. Until he obtained the water, he had no mental space to ponder other issues.

"Where might your dad have gone?" Chen Nan asked.

Liu Tiantian scratched her head again and said, "I have no idea. I've only been home for a few days."

"Tiantian, Young Master Chen, are you looking for the Family Head?" Came the voice of Liu Ziyuan, her figure appearing outside the door.

Liu Tiantian cheerfully ran over and said, "Aunt Ziyan."

This girl initially refused to call Liu Ziyuan "aunt" because Liu Ziyuan looked very young, but now that she had figured out the seniority, she had corrected herself.

"Miss Ziyan, do you know where Uncle Liu is?" Chen Nan walked over to ask.

Liu Ziyuan smiled calmly and playfully said, "He's my cousin, you call him uncle, yet call me young lady?"

Chen Nan shook his head, smiled somewhat absentmindedly, and said, "A young lady as beautiful as a fairy, if I were to call you aunt, it would be an insult to such a beauty, so I dare not offend."

"What you say is reasonable, I'm indeed only a few years older than you. But if you marry Tiantian one day, you'll have to change the way you address me," Liu Ziyuan laughed lightly.

Chen Nan was taken aback.

Could it be that the Liu family was a cradle of prodigies?

He had thought Liu Ziyuan was much older than him, but she merely preserved her youthful look through high-level cultivation.

Unexpectedly, she wasn't much older than him!

At such a young age, possessing such formidable Cultivation; Liu Ziyuan truly had exceptional talent.

While shocked, Chen Nan's mind remained clear, and he nodded, saying, "Of course."

Liu Ziyuan could tell Chen Nan had no intention of elaborating further, so she turned and said, "Follow me to meet the three elder council members. The Family Head has already left this morning, but since he has promised you, he must have entrusted the matters to the elders before he left."

Chen Nan said, "I would appreciate Miss Ziyan leading the way."

"There's no need to be formal; you revived the Sacred Body of our ancestor and have done a great favor to our Liu family; these are things I should do."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan couldn't help but think of the Liu family ancestor and asked, "By the way, has the old master's Sacred Body reawakened, and has the Divine Soul been reassembled?"

Liu Ziyuan shook her head and said, "It's not so easy. Reviving the Sacred Body was only the first step. To truly resurrect the ancestor, it will take a lot more effort, but these are matters for the elders, and I'm not entitled to know so much as a younger generation."

Chen Nan understood this was a family matter, and even if Liu Ziyuan knew, she might not tell him.

So, he did not ask further.

After all, whether the Liu family ancestor resurrected or not was none of his concern; he only cared about whether his martial sister could be saved!

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the elder's hall.

The three elders seemed to have anticipated his arrival and were already there waiting. The white-haired elder, Liu Long, said, "We've heard about your matter from Zhong'er. However, this Water of Life is extremely precious; how much do you need?"

Chen Nan scratched his head and said, "Approximately, a bucket should be enough, right?"

"What! A bucket!"

The three elders were so furious at Chen Nan that they almost jumped up.

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Chen Nan himself didn't know how much he needed; the old man only told him to fetch the spring water but didn't specify the quantity, thinking a bucket should suffice!

The three elders were almost speechless with anger. Liu Qingtian said irritably, "You really do have the audacity! This Water of Life is rare in the world, with only a single drop produced each year. Although the spring has been forming for tens of thousands of years here, all the gathered water combined is far from filling a bucket!"
