"Now we should consider how to get Prince Rui to swallow the Jiexiang Pill..."

Lan Zhi held the Jiexiang Pill in her hand and "admired" it for a while. After all, this was her first time refining a poison pill, and she felt a sense of accomplishment. She couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at it.

It is impossible for Lan Zhi to offer the elixir to Prince Rui in her own name. As the saying goes, if you show kindness without any reason, there must be something fishy going on. Prince Rui is not a fool. There are only three elixirs in total. Wouldn't it be good for the three members of the Lan family to take one each?

Why should we offer the elixir to him?

Moreover, it would be very painful when the Jiexiang Dan took effect, and it would be impossible to kill Prince Rui instantly. If Prince Rui lost his mind while struggling before death and wanted to drag the people around him to be buried with him, there would be no place to cry.

"Let me think... maybe I can make use of the White Mountain Secret Realm?"

Lan Zhi muttered to herself, "Someone obtained three Chengyuan Pills from the secret realm. These pills can help those in the Chengyuan realm break through a small realm. However, those below the Chengyuan realm cannot absorb such a powerful medicinal property, so they can only slightly improve their strength. The remaining medicinal power will be lost, and it would be a waste to eat it. Only those in the Chengyuan realm are worthy of taking these three pills..."

As for why it was called "Chengyuan Pill," that was, of course, Lan Zhi's fabrication. She couldn't just call it Jiexiang Pill, right? Although Lan Zhi hadn't seen any relevant records in the Great Rui Kingdom, she felt it was best to err on the side of caution and give the poison pill a different name.

"Then, who is more suitable to get these three pills..."

"Prince Rui hasn't returned yet. If the news of the Chengyuan Pill is released in advance, it will definitely attract a lot of people..."

——Many people stay in the early stage of the Infant Yuan Realm throughout their lives, and it is difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation. At this time, three pills that can increase their cultivation suddenly appear. Although it is a waste to eat them before the Cheng Yuan Realm, what's the big deal about the waste?

Any improvement in cultivation level is valuable. Maybe you can use the elixir to break through the bottleneck, and then your cultivation will be smooth sailing from then on. It's still very cost-effective!

Lan Zhi put the three pills into the medicine bottle, then used invisibility to walk out of the Lan Mansion's gate, and then went to a hidden corner and used a disguise mask to transform herself into an ordinary-looking round-faced boy.

"From now on, this face will be my new vest, and its name is..."

For someone who is bad at naming, thinking of a name is really a painful thing.

Lan Zhi took out a bronze mirror, looked at her own face, and muttered, "Ordinary?"

"Or Madoka?"

"Or maybe..."

Lan Zhi suddenly thought of what Shangguan Jianxing had said before about the taboo of prying. As the saying goes, the secrets of heaven are mysterious and unfathomable...

"Just call me Tian Miao!"

Young Master Tianmiao, this is a good name.

After thinking of a name, Lan Zhi walked out of the alley leisurely, ready to take a stroll in the secret realm of Baishan.

She didn't plan to explore the secret realm, but she could listen to gossip and understand the situation outside.

…

Baishan, the secret place of medical saints.

Many young people have formed teams to explore the secret realm, and the first person to go in for the adventure was a fifteen-year-old boy in the early stage of the Infant Yuan Realm.

It only took the young man half an hour to emerge from the secret realm. With an expression of unspeakable joy on his face, he excitedly said, "There is a great treasure in the secret realm!"

"I just got a pill, and I was able to cultivate from the early stage of the Infant Yuan Realm to the Great Perfection of the Infant Yuan Realm! I'm only one step away from the Young Yuan Realm!"

This step may be a long way off, but he is only fifteen years old and has plenty of time.

Besides, he had only been in the Medical Saint Secret Realm for half an hour!

Breakthrough so many realms in half an hour?

The young man continued, "But don't even think about robbing me. I only got one of those pills, which I ate and digested before I came out. There are still many good things inside. What a pity! I know my limitations. I'm already very satisfied with being able to break through the realm, so I don't want to take anything else."

As soon as these words were spoken, the forces that were still watching outside became restless and sent out disciples to investigate one after another. After a while, all the disciples came out with happy expressions on their faces, saying that there was indeed a treasure in the secret realm. After entering the secret realm, everyone would receive a pill, and after taking the pill, they would be able to increase their cultivation.

This pill can only be given to one person once.

After taking the pill, you can see a passage in the secret realm. If you pass through the passage, you will come to a hall with many pill bottles placed in the hall. However, these pills cannot be taken at will. You must pass the test of the secret realm to get the pill reward.

There is a stone tablet in the hall. According to the records on the stone tablet, the test of the Medical Saint Secret Realm is divided into nine levels. If you pass all nine levels of test, you can obtain the Medical Saint's inheritance.

Furthermore, the Medical Saint is compassionate and hopes that all those who receive the elixir rewards will not kill each other. If you pass the test of level three or above, you can obtain the elixir formula and many other benefits...

"Is it really such a good thing?"

Spiritual masters are all smart. Things like pie falling from the sky are most likely a conspiracy. Maybe after passing the nine levels of tests, they don’t get the inheritance of the Medical Saint, but are instead possessed by the Medical Saint?

But, in other words, there are so many elixirs and spiritual herbs in the secret realm. Isn't it enough to just pass one or two tests, get some benefits, and then come out?

As for the pill given at the beginning of the secret realm, it might be a trap, so it is better not to eat it casually. It is not too late to eat it after the secret realm has been explored thoroughly and it is confirmed that there is no danger at all.

Everyone had a plan in mind, so they stopped hesitating and walked into the secret realm.

Only a small number of forces are still wandering outside the secret realm—

Some forces wanted to wait for the people inside to come out and then take advantage of the situation to rob them, while others were unwilling to take risks and planned to wait and see for a while.

There is another force, which is the royal family of the Da Rui Kingdom.

The current emperor has more than a dozen sons but only one daughter, who is the fifth and was named "Princess Yongle". This princess was born to a palace maid. The palace maid gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The fifth princess is the elder sister and the sixth prince is the younger brother. The palace maid passed away after giving birth to the children. Fortunately, one of the two children she gave birth to was a girl. The emperor was very pleased and gave the twins to the virtuous concubine to raise. The emperor treated this daughter well, but not the sixth prince very well, because the sixth prince was born with a defect. He was dumb, thin and small, and was really not likable. If it were not for the virtuous concubine and the fifth princess to protect him over the years, the sixth prince would have died long ago.

Princess Yongle has been looking for a way to make her twin brother speak. This time, she heard that there was a "Medical Saint Secret Realm" in Baishan. The word "Medical Saint" sounds very powerful, and maybe it can cure her brother's muteness, so she came to the outside of Baishan.

Princess Yongle wanted to enter the secret realm herself, but the guards refused to let her risk her life. "Your Highness, just wait outside. We will go in and explore. No matter what elixirs we obtain, we will never keep them for ourselves. We will give them to Your Highness even if we die."
