Lan Hua looked closely and saw a platform in the distance with a glass dome on it, through which she could clearly see what was inside.

Inside was something that looked like fleshy tissue.

Lan Hua's heart skipped a beat. "Could that piece of flesh be a part of the body brought by the people from the Pill God Palace?"

Du Renjie asked curiously, "Brother Lan, do you know about that?"

"When I left the City of Immortality, I encountered the Immortal Clan here, and the old man told me about the origin of this body!"

"In short, this thing is evil and must not be kept!"

Du Renjie nodded. "That's right. They intended to use the liquid flowing from this body to heal Yao'er, which is why I refused!"

"I suspect this thing is what's causing these people to become bloodthirsty and insane!"

Lan Hua snorted, "No doubt about it, this is the thing that's causing the harm!"

"Then I'll destroy him!"

As Du Renjie pointed his sword, a beam of icy sword light shot out, shattering the glass shield.

Just as the sword light struck the body, the small piece of flesh suddenly reacted, emitting a cloud of mist-like substance.

Lan Hua exclaimed, "Oh no! This thing is indeed from the same source as the strange mist in the forbidden area of ​​the Pill God Palace. It turns out that the mist originated from this body's tissue."

"Brother Du, we can't stay here any longer, let's leave quickly!"

After saying that, Lan Hua stretched out both hands at the same time, and two fire dragons spewed out from her palms. They were the Red Lotus Fire, which wanted to burn away the mist and the body in front of her.

Without thinking, he grabbed Du Renjie and rushed toward the exit.

After Lan Hua left, the flames quickly went out, but the mist remained.

The bloodthirsty thugs immediately surrounded it, sniffing and frantically inhaling the eerie mist.

After exiting the back hall, Lan Hua and her companion immediately flew towards the opposite side of the Immortal City.

"Huh, I didn't expect this kid to be so capable; he actually managed to come back safely!"

The old man who had been waiting outside shouted and guided the two of them to fly towards the opposite mountain peak.

The group eventually landed in a cave nearly a thousand kilometers away. The cave was very dilapidated and looked quite old.

Upon seeing the old man, Lan Hua hurriedly asked, "Senior, was the person who brought the shattered body called the Pill Emperor?"

"Emperor Dantian?"

The old man shook his head. "From beginning to end, none of my Changsheng clan knew that person's name, only that his cultivation was extremely high!"

Although Lan Hua was somewhat disappointed, she was now certain that the person who claimed to be from the Pill God Palace was the patriarch of the Pill God Palace, the Pill Heaven Emperor.

Du Renjie was unaware of the details, but he had heard of the name of the Heavenly Emperor Dan.

After Lan Hua explained it to him, Du Renjie finally understood the horror of that piece of body tissue.

"I suppose Emperor Dantian sent the strange mist and the body tissue to different places for research, hoping to find a way to counter it. But unexpectedly, both sides have encountered problems!" Lan Hua sighed.

Du Renjie shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"Although the Immortal Clan was wiped out as a result, it seems that they succeeded halfway. At least the substances flowing from their bodies, combined with the art of immortality, can keep the poisoned people awake during the day!"

Baxia snorted, "Isn't a half-successful method still a failure?"

The old man sighed, "What kind of thing is so terrifying that even the First Emperor of All Ages, the Pill Heaven Emperor, couldn't overcome it?"

Lan Hua shook her head. "I don't know. I'd really like to know what your secret to immortality is?"

The old man said, "That thing is called the Elixir of Immortality. It is unique to this place and originates from underground."

"With long-term consumption, even without deliberate cultivation, one can live for thousands of years!"

"What if it's cultivation?" Baxia asked curiously.

"Living for two or three thousand years is also possible. For example, I've already lived for two thousand nine hundred years!"

"That really is an old monster!" Lan Hua sighed inwardly.

The old man sighed, "What a pity! The source of this longevity elixir is in the City of Immortality, but it's occupied by the Immortal Clan!"

Upon hearing about the Longevity Elixir, Du Renjie was overjoyed. "Senior, can this Longevity Elixir save my beloved?"

The old man looked bewildered at Du Renjie until the latter explained it to him.

"I don't know about that. The Elixir of Immortality is just a kind of water. Who knows if it can save people!"

Du Renjie made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I'm going to give it a try!"

Lan Hua nodded, "I'll go with you!"

Just as the two were about to turn back to the City of Immortality, the old man suddenly said, "Young man, there's no need to go back."

"That spring nearly dried up ten thousand years ago, and now it seems there's probably not a single drop left!"

Lan Hua was taken aback and turned around to ask, "Senior, is this the reason why Emperor Xiao and his people decided to take the Bloodlust and Madness Substance?"

The old man sighed and nodded slowly.

"Sure enough, no wonder Emperor Xiao and his ilk still took it even knowing the consequences—it was all for the sake of immortality!"

Du Renjie immediately became worried, "Senior, you've lived so long, do you still have anything left?"

Lan Hua raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that Brother Du was indeed quite direct.

Even if they have some, they probably don't have much left. Isn't this just digging into their past?

The old man scoffed, "There are some, but not many!"

Du Renjie was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "Please grant me your favor!"

The old man laughed and said, "I can give it to you. Anyway, I've lived for so long and have long since discovered that immortality is the most lonely and bitter thing, and not everyone can endure it!"

"However, I have a request!"

Lan Hua immediately understood the old man's meaning, "You want to leave this place?"

"Indeed, being trapped here is like being in a cage. I long for freedom!"

Du Renjie glanced at Lan Hua, who slowly nodded.

"Then I'll grant you your freedom, and in return, I'll bestow upon you the Elixir of Immortality

The old man produced a small bottle, which was extremely small, only about the size of the tip of a thumb.

"This is way too small!" Baxia snorted.

"Take it or leave it. This is the only longevity elixir I have left. Let's make this clear: whether it works or not, you have to take me out of here!" the old man said, holding the small bottle.

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word!"

"That's good!"

Du Renjie took the longevity elixir and then put the ice coffin down.

The moment the ice coffin was opened, a stunningly beautiful woman in white appeared before them.

Her features were exquisite, and even the most beautiful woman could not compare. However, her face was almost bloodless.

If she had even a little bit of color in her skin, words like "flowery face" and "moonlit beauty" wouldn't do her justice.

"No wonder he managed to charm the ice-cold Du Renjie, he must have some skill!" Baxia muttered to himself.

Du Renjie carefully lifted the back of Ye Yao's head and poured the only remaining drop of the Longevity Elixir into her mouth.

After Ye Yao consumed the spiritual liquid, her body began to glow faintly, as if she had returned to life.

Du Renjie was excited, his eyes filled with hope and anticipation, hoping that Ye Yao would wake up.

But after a long time, Ye Yao still did not wake up.

Du Renjie's face twitched a few times, then he silently lay down on the ice coffin, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yaoyao, wake up!"

"You can't just leave like this! If you leave, I won't live on alone!"

The scene was extremely desolate.

Baxia couldn't stand it any longer. "Brother Hua, don't you still have a Rejuvenation Pill?"
