Ruoruo remained silent for a while, then picked out a booklet from among the books left to her by the God of Aoki.

"The symptoms you described are somewhat similar to those after taking a kind of strange pill."

The so-called "mysterious pills" are pills that resemble forbidden techniques.

“That’s right.” Yue Rou gritted her teeth. “They’re using our fox clan to make human pills.”

The fox clan was given a specific medicine to allow their spiritual energy and immortal essence to be integrated into their blood and muscles, although the symptoms made it appear as if their spiritual energy and immortal essence were dissipating.

Once their spiritual energy and immortal essence are integrated into their bloodline, the White Tiger clan can then devour their flesh and blood, using the immortal essence and spiritual energy within to rapidly improve their cultivation.

This is Rendan (人丹).

"The laws of the Immortal Realm forbid the refining of human pills." Ruoruo looked at the record in the book and listened to Yue Rou's explanation. She angrily slammed the book against the tree trunk. "Father doesn't know about this, does he?"

"Your Majesty is naturally unaware. After all, the Fox Clan always thought that the outside world had not sent any physicians because the Immortal Realm did not care about our Fox Clan. It was not until the end that we learned that our clan leader and some elders had joined forces to block the news, and all the foxes who were carrying messages were killed."

Yue Rou sobbed uncontrollably, "My friends and family are all dead..."

After they were discovered, the White Tiger Clan immediately captured them.

The original plan was to lock them up, refine them into human pills, and eat them.

Later, it was only through the actions of an elder of the fox clan who still possessed a conscience, who feigned compliance with their wishes, that they risked their lives to send them away.

The White Tiger Clan and the Fox Clan were chasing them, but the elder risked his life to throw them into the nearest crevice.

Before they could capture Yuebai and Yuerou, they activated the array on the Immortal Binding Rope.

They had also ingested that strange pill.

If it weren't for Ruoruo, they would have also turned into human pills and died soon after because of that pill.

"Elder Bai tried to save us, but now he's fallen into their clutches and his life is in danger," Yue Rou said. "Ruo Ruo, please, please help us."

Ruoruo Cat stood on the treetop, her eyes filled with anger and distress: "I will tell my mother about this immediately, and then have Kunlun go back to tell my father that we will not let any bad person get away with it."

"But how can those of our clansmen who are about to be refined into human pills be saved?" Yue Rou asked, crying. "Golden pills are difficult to form, and you alone will have to expend a great deal of effort to save them."

Ruoruo patted the booklet with her paw: "I didn't know you had taken the Demon Pill before, and in my panic I used the Golden Pill to save you. Now that I know it's the Demon Pill, I just need to refine the corresponding antidote."

She produced a large quantity of pills, all of which were top-grade, making her virtually incomparable to those inferior, strange pills.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my entire clan." Yue Rou and Yue Bai both knelt down in gratitude.

Ruoruo quickly used her tail to help them both up: "This is my responsibility as your daughter."

Even though Yuebai and Yuerou weren't her friends, she still had to save them.

Ruoruo Cat took her friends directly to Yan Qingran and told her the whole story.

Yan Qingran slammed her hand on the table, shattering it into pieces: "I was wondering why the White Tiger Clan had been so well-behaved lately. I never imagined they would be plotting something like this in secret."

She took a breath and said, "Ruo Ruo, you can focus on refining the pills. Kunlun returned so quickly after retrieving the Heavenly Curtain last time, which means that the Heavenly Eye must have been refined a long time ago and was waiting for Kunlun."

In other words, your father has ways to keep track of your situation. If you know something, he will definitely know it too. You don't need to worry about the issue of sending messages.

Once you've refined enough pills, have Kunlun take them back with you to avoid wasting time going back and forth.

With Yan Qingran's words, the two foxes and the cat felt much more at ease.

If Ruoruo Cat went into seclusion, Yue Rou and Yue Bai would stand guard outside the room to protect her.

In fact, Ruoruo doesn't need their help to protect her, because she can now refine pills in her own blessed land, where outsiders can't break in.

However, the matter of the blessed land had to be kept secret, so Ruoruo accepted their kindness.

So when Mo Wuyu finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, he couldn't find a single cat hair in the entire room.

Could his kittens have been kidnapped by those two foxes?

Mo Wuyu immediately went out to find the cat. A maidservant bowed slightly to him and said, "The young master said that after you finish your cultivation, please go to the main hall. She will be waiting for you there."

Thinking about the inexplicably familiar relationship between Yan Qingran and Ruoruo, Mo Wuyu turned and headed towards the main hall.

What about Ruoruo?

Mo Wuyu asked the question directly.

Seeing the anxiety in Mo Wuyu's eyes, Yan Qingran chuckled and said, "No need to worry. Ruoruo and the two little foxes have discovered a secret realm of spirit beasts that humans cannot enter, so they went there. They will naturally come out in a few days."

Where does the Yunyao Immortal Palace's spirit beast secret realm come from?

Mo Wuyu clearly understood that the young palace master was lying to him.

In an instant, Mo Wuyu's eyes became even sharper, and spiritual energy surged around him.

He worried whether these people had done something to Ruoruo.

Yan Qingran slightly raised her eyes, and the powerful spiritual pressure made Mo Wuyu unable to move.

Mo Wuyu's heart grew colder and colder.

This person is not at the Foundation Establishment stage at all; she has been faking her cultivation level all along. What exactly does she want to do?

"As you probably already know, Ruoruo's background is extraordinary." Yan Qingran slowly opened her lips, looking at Mo Wuyu with a smile. "She came to this world for you. Now she has her own things to do, and I don't think you would do anything to make things difficult for her."
