This person was Li Hongqing. Tang Zheng couldn't see the slightest trace of her past temperament. He only felt a strange aura lingering around her, causing his heart to palpitate. What color is this?
The others were also shocked, especially Qi Shaowen and Old Wei. No matter how they looked at it, this person seemed to have gone mad.
Qin Batian had a pained expression as he called out to Hongqing and rushed over.
Li Hongqing's face flashed with malevolence as she brandished the kitchen knife, viciously chopping towards Qin Batian. Qin Batian's eyes flashed with shock. He didn't know why his wife wanted to kill him.
However, Qin Batian grabbed onto his wife's wrist. Li Hongqing struggled with all her might, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
Everyone couldn't help but cry out in shock. This was truly unexpected, but Qin Batian was an expert after all. His reaction speed was extremely fast as he dodged the kitchen knife and hugged his wife tightly.
Li Hongqing continued to struggle as she let out a sharp roar. Her eyes turned red as though she wanted to devour someone.
"Hongqing, it's me. I'm Batian. What's wrong with you? Why did you become like this?" Qin Batian asked bitterly.
Li Hongqing turned a deaf ear to his words as she continued to struggle and scream.
"This … why does it seem like she's possessed?" Li Xiaotian asked hesitantly.
Possessed?
Everyone was shocked. That's right, Li Hongqing's appearance was very similar to that of the legendary Evil.
Qin Batian's heart turned cold. If it was a medical problem, it would still be fine. But this kind of mysterious problem wasn't so easy to solve.
He looked towards Tang Zheng as though he was asking for help, "Tang Zheng, do you have any ideas?"
Tang Zheng didn't reply as he directly walked over. His finger reached for the blood-red safety buckle. Li Hongqing was wearing pajamas, and the safety buckle was about to sink into the gap between her breasts.
However, Tang Zheng didn't nod his head. Qin Batian had a suspicious look on his face, but he didn't stop him.
When Tang Zheng's fingers came into contact with the blood jade, Li Hongqing's eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light. Her screams grew louder and louder as her strength abruptly increased. She actually managed to struggle free from Qin Batian's embrace as her fingers clawed towards Tang Zheng's face.
"Tang Zheng, be careful! Qi Shaowen shouted anxiously.
Tang Zheng didn't move at all. His finger touched the center of Li Hongqing's forehead at lightning speed, and the scream came to an abrupt end. She was motionless as if she had been paralyzed.
However, her face was still filled with a ferocious struggle, which was very frightening.
The others were dumbfounded. This was simply like magic. The others didn't understand what was going on at all.
Why was she so quiet with just a finger?
Qin Batian's brows furrowed as a look of joy appeared on his face. Since Tang Zheng could control her, that meant that there was hope for him to cure her.
Li Hongqing gradually closed her eyes, and her expression finally returned to normal. Tang Zheng reached out and removed the blood jade. It was extremely cold when he touched it.
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The finger he used just now wasn't as simple as it looked. When his fingertip touched Li Hongqing's skin, a crazy and cold spiritual energy instantly passed through his fingertip and into his body.
If an ordinary person was entangled by this spiritual energy, they would definitely die. However, Tang Zheng's vital energy quickly dissolved this spiritual energy and converted it into his own vital energy.
This spiritual energy was very similar to the spiritual energy that Tang Zheng had absorbed before, but it was more aggressive and cold.
This spiritual energy was sent into her body by the blood jade. It was now lingering in her body, controlling her body and mind.
"Mr. Qin, please carry your wife back to her room." Tang Zheng temporarily controlled the Yin energy in her body, causing her to fall into a coma again.
Qin Batian hurriedly supported Li Hongqing as he anxiously asked, "Tang Zheng, do you have a way to save her?"
Tang Zheng didn't make any guarantees as he lightly said, "I have a clue, I will do my best."
Hearing this, Qin Batian was overjoyed and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was already at his wit's end and was on the verge of despair. He didn't think that there would be a ray of hope.
"Tang Zheng, thank you. You saved my wife. I, Qin Batian, will definitely remember your kindness." Qin Batian emotionally said.
Qi Shaowen originally wanted to stop Tang Zheng, telling him not to be so reckless. After all, saving a life wasn't something that could be done just by feeling.
However, seeing how much Qin Batian trusted him, he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. He was also somewhat curious as to how Tang Zheng was going to save her.
"I wonder what kind of illness she is suffering from?" Old Wei asked with concern as this was a matter of his responsibility.
Tang Zheng opened his hand and the blood jade lay quietly in the middle of his palm, glowing with a rosy luster. He asked, "Old Wei, what is the origin of this blood jade?"
"This … could it really be related to the blood jade?" Old Wei's heart skipped a beat as Qi Shaowen also revealed a look of concern. Earlier, the two of them had solemnly vowed that there was nothing wrong with the blood jade. However, after seeing Li Hongqing's crazed state, their hearts began to pound like a drum. After all, they had never heard of an illness like hers.
Qin Batian and Li Xiaotian were also quite curious as they looked at Tang Zheng, waiting for his answer.
Tang Zheng nodded, "It is indeed related to the blood jade. That's why I want to know the origin of this blood jade."
Qi Shaowen and Old Wei's faces flushed red with guilt. They had been so confident just now, they didn't expect Qin Batian's judgment to be correct.
Of course, no one doubted the veracity of Tang Zheng's judgment. After all, he had calmed Li Hongqing down with a single finger. That alone was enough to stun them.
Old Wei pondered for a moment before explaining. This blood jade and the three-legged bronze cauldron were both antiques from the same place. They were both antiques from thousands of years ago. However, Old Wei couldn't find out how useful this blood jade actually was.
However, there was no doubt that the blood jade's color and luster were excellent. Hence, it was one of the Imperial Treasury's treasures. A few days ago, Qin Batian had specially made a trip to the Imperial Treasury to pick out his wife's birthday present. Coincidentally, this blood jade had caught his eye.
Because Li Hongqing was a jade lover, Qin Batian didn't know much about antiques and jades. He only thought that this blood jade was very beautiful and thus bought it for his wife without hesitation.
Li Hongqing also liked it very much. However, after wearing it for a few days, Li Hongqing fell into a semi-conscious state and eventually fell into a coma.
Li Hongqing's body was usually very healthy. Qin Batian thought for a long time before suspecting that this blood jade was related to her health. He took the blood jade from his wife's body and tied it up high.
He didn't expect his wife to wake up and find the blood jade and wear it on her chest.
"Then, was this blood jade used to be used for rituals?" Tang Zheng asked.
Old Wei and Qi Shaowen looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. "We don't know about that. What's wrong with this blood jade? Why is it fine when it's in our shop, but this happened when Mr. Qin bought it?"
Tang Zheng already understood the reason. This blood jade was definitely related to rituals. Otherwise, it wouldn't have that kind of spiritual energy. However, this blood jade was obviously different from antiques like the bronze cauldron.
This blood jade had indeed become like this after being soaked in fresh blood. Fresh blood represented slaughter. Hence, the spiritual energy contained in the jade was mixed with a lot of evil energy, causing the spiritual energy to become very aggressive.
When the Blood Jade was in the Imperial Treasure House, it was placed very high, so of course, it would not affect people much. However, Li Hongqing liked the Blood Jade very much, so she always carried it with her. This spiritual power seeped into her body, which caused such a big reaction.
Of course, he didn't explain this reason. After all, the things involved were too inconceivable. Thus, he said perfunctorily, "I can be sure that her illness is related to this blood jade, but I can't say for sure. However, as long as she doesn't come into contact with the blood jade after she's cured, there won't be a problem."
Qin Batian was a shrewd person. He instantly understood the perfunctory meaning in Tang Zheng's words. However, he didn't think too much about it. As long as Tang Zheng could cure his wife, everything else was insignificant.
Old Wei apologized, "Mr. Qin, I'm really sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like this. I've never encountered such a thing before."
Qin Batian saw that Tang Zheng had a close relationship with the other party. Although he was still a little angry, he didn't flare up. He said, "No one knew about this beforehand, so I won't blame anyone. I only ask that Hongqing's illness be cured."
Old Wei heaved a sigh of relief. If he didn't get Qin Batian's forgiveness, then his Imperial Treasury would really come to an end. He couldn't help but look deeply at Tang Zheng, unable to hide his gratitude.
Seeing his old friend's expression, Qi Shaowen felt proud. After all, Tang Zheng was his disciple. Although he wasn't the one who taught his disciple, he was still very proud and happy that his disciple was so capable.
"Tang Zheng, when will the treatment begin?" Qin Batian couldn't wait to ask.
The few of them went to Li Hongqing's bedroom. She was like a baby sleeping soundly. Her face was peaceful, and there was no trace of the ferocious and terrifying look from before.
"You all go out first. I want to treat her alone. No matter what you hear, you are not allowed to come in without my permission." Tang Zheng said in a low voice.
A single man and a single woman in the same room. It was unavoidable that one's imagination would run wild. Qi Shaowen felt that it was inappropriate and was about to persuade him when Qin Batian said, "No problem. We'll go out right away. If you need anything, just call me. No one will disturb your treatment."
Tang Zheng nodded inwardly.
"I'll stay and help." Suddenly, Li Xiaotian said. Everyone looked at her in unison, but Li Xiaotian was looking seriously at Tang Zheng.
Obviously, she wanted to know more about Tang Zheng. She didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. And during the treatment of Li Hongqing, it would definitely involve many secrets of the cultivators.
Seeing her resolute expression, there was no room for negotiation. Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment before nodding. In any case, she knew his identity. It wouldn't be a problem for her to witness the treatment. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she really made a scene.
The others naturally didn't have any objections. After a while, they all retreated. Qin Batian stood guard not far from the door, not allowing anyone to disturb them.
