Because every time the Soul Capturing Stone was used, it required a massive amount of energy.
And to replenish this energy, it had to absorb the spiritual power from the human brain.
That was to say, after Ye Qianrou used the Soul Capturing Stone to inspect Lin Mengyao’s memories,
all the spiritual power in Lin Mengyao’s brain would be sucked away by the Soul Capturing Stone.
And once a person’s brain was deprived of spiritual power, that person’s brain would fall into a deep coma, also known as a vegetative state!
Once in such a state, unless the spiritual power was restored, one would never wake up again.
But restoring spiritual power was easier said than done.
The conditions were extremely harsh, almost impossible to meet.
Therefore, basically, after becoming a vegetative person, it was as good as being sentenced to death.
That was the reason Ye Qianrou had always been reluctant to use the Soul Capturing Stone.
Because once she used it, Lin Mengyao would become vegetative from then on.
Thus, Ye Qianrou’s true identity would also be exposed.
By that time, if she could obtain useful intelligence from Lin Mengyao, it would be good, but if not,
she definitely could not stay in Coastal any longer, and going back to her original place, her master would certainly not let her off.
Originally, her lurking in Coastal to monitor Chen Feng might still hold some value.
But after her identity was exposed, there would truly be no value left.
At that time, she would be facing a dead end.
Thus, using the Soul Capturing Stone was really a desperate measure for Ye Qianrou.
At this point, she could only tread this dark path to the end.
Ye Qianrou took a deep breath, placed the purple-glowing Soul Capturing Stone on Lin Mengyao’s forehead, and then, with a hard heart, put her index finger in her mouth and bit open a cut with her teeth.
Then she squeezed out a drop of the Blood Pearl from her index finger and dropped it on the Soul Capturing Stone.
As soon as the Blood Pearl touched the Soul Capturing Stone, it instantly merged into it.
Next, the Soul Capturing Stone’s purple light flourished.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qianrou closed her eyes.
Because from that moment on, the Soul Capturing Stone had begun to extract important memories from Lin Mengyao’s mind.
The Soul Capturing Stone would transmit these important memories directly into Ye Qianrou’s brain.
So, all Ye Qianrou needed to do was receive them.
Just like that, aside from the continuously flashing Soul Capturing Stone, everything in the villa quieted down.
Ye Qianrou closed her eyes and received and reviewed Lin Mengyao’s important memories in her mind.
As for the daily trivial matters, the Soul Capturing Stone would actively filter them out for Ye Qianrou.
This also saved Ye Qianrou a lot of time.
Otherwise, if she had to review all of Lin Mengyao’s memories, how much time would that take!
However, even just the important memories were enough for Ye Qianrou to watch for a long time.
So, time passed little by little until six o’clock the next morning.
By then, a full twelve hours had passed since the Soul Capturing Stone started operating.
Within these twelve hours, like watching a movie, Ye Qianrou had gone through the important memories of Lin Mengyao from the past few months.
She didn’t miss any details related to Chen Feng.
However, after watching all the memories, Ye Qianrou’s expression had turned extremely ugly.
Because she hadn’t found any segments related to the Tianqi Holy Pearl in these memories.
Which meant, Lin Mengyao truly knew nothing about the Tianqi Holy Pearl!
This realization instantly made Ye Qianrou feel extremely upset.
Because this was her last chance, yet she had found nothing.
So what awaited her would be doom!
Thinking of this, Ye Qianrou’s face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with despair.
Just then, the sound of a key turning came from the villa’s front door.
Upon hearing it, Ye Qianrou immediately snapped out of her despair, quickly reached out to grab the Soul Capturing Stone that was placed on Lin Mengyao’s forehead, and transformed into a Black Shadow, disappearing within the villa.
The moment Ye Qianrou disappeared, the villa’s door opened.
A stunning beauty in a white business suit entered the villa. It was Lin Wanqing.
Having worked overtime all night, Lin Wanqing’s pretty face was covered in fatigue.
As it was just six in the morning and barely light, the interior of the villa was a bit dark.
After kicking off her high heels, Lin Wanqing casually turned on the living room lights and planned to sit on the sofa for a bit, drink some water, and then shower and go to bed.
However, just as Lin Wanqing approached the sofa, she paused slightly.
Because Lin Mengyao was still lying there on the sofa.
"This child, why has she become so lazy? Can’t even bother to go to her room!"
Lin Wanqing thought Lin Mengyao had fallen asleep on the sofa, shook her head helplessly with a smile, then walked over, gently tapped Lin Mengyao’s arm, and said with a smile, "Hey, lazy bug, get up and go to your bedroom to sleep!"
However, Lin Mengyao showed no response at all.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she shook Lin Mengyao’s arm a couple more times.
But there was still no response from Lin Mengyao.
This immediately caused Lin Wanqing’s face to change slightly. Normally, even a deep sleeper would wake up with such shaking. Why was there no response at all now?
With that thought, Lin Wanqing quickly placed her fingers under Lin Mengyao’s nostrils to check her breath.
Thankfully, she was still breathing, albeit weakly.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, can you hear me talking?"
Lin Wanqing still couldn’t give up, and vigorously shook Lin Mengyao’s arm a couple more times.
But Lin Mengyao still didn’t wake up and her eyes remained tightly closed.
At that moment, Lin Wanqing completely panicked.
Because Lin Mengyao, her sister, was irreplaceable in her heart. Even when Lin’s Jewelry had issues, she had never been this panicked.
But whenever anything minor happened to Lin Mengyao, she would freak out.
The last time Lin Mengyao disappeared, it had nearly driven her crazy.
And now, Lin Mengyao was inexplicably unconscious.
This threw Lin Wanqing completely off balance.
"What do I do, what should I do!"
Lin Wanqing sat on the sofa, at a loss.
Just then, a name flashed through her mind.
In Lin Wanqing’s memory, Chen Feng knew medical skills, and every time there was an issue, it was Chen Feng who resolved it.
So Lin Wanqing felt like there was nothing that could stump Chen Feng.
At a time , seeking Chen Feng was the right choice!
With that thought, Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately pulled out her phone, dialing Chen Feng’s number.
Bixiang Garden, Chen Feng’s villa.
In the master bedroom.
After a whole afternoon and all night of pondering and repeated practice.
Chen Feng had basically mastered the first layer of the Black Dragon Technique, reaching a beginner level.
