This was merely a simple adjustment of internal energy. The old emperor's vitality was indeed dwindling; even with the nourishment of Qingyang internal energy, his condition had only improved slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the old emperor's lifespan would end within two years.

What Ye Xiruo considered an easy task, the old emperor saw as nothing short of a miracle. He knew his physical condition better than anyone; the imperial physicians had tried many different prescriptions without success, and the Grand Preceptor simply shook his head, pointed to the heavens, and said that fate had decreed it, and he was powerless to change it.

However, if Ye Xiruo had simply released some green light, his physical condition had improved dramatically overnight. This feeling of temporarily escaping death and being filled with vitality was something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Even the Imperial Advisor couldn't do something like this! Could this immortal master be an alchemist or a physician?

"Thank you, Immortal Master. May I ask what you wish me to do?"

"Your secrets in the Swiss royal palace, or your secret stash of money."

Sure enough, the old emperor's expression changed, and Ye Xiruo found his constipated and troubled look somewhat amusing.

"I've already told you the effects of the Longevity Pill. As for how to take it, only I can do it. Are you sure you want to hesitate?" Brother Xiu Qi had finished his business, and she needed to hurry up and finish so she could go back with him.

"I can share the secrets of the palace, but the immortal master must keep them secret."

"Aren't you afraid that once I know your country's biggest secret, I'll take direct action against your country?"

"I believe in the immortal master."

"Alright, since you've agreed, then you shouldn't interfere with what I do next. Are you prepared for the risks of defying the heavens to extend your lifespan?"

The old emperor nodded. He too was now driven to a dead end. In court, the second son and the Wu family were locked in a life-or-death struggle, creating chaos and disorder. He couldn't die yet.

Ye Xiruo took out a bottle of spiritual water diluted tenfold and infused with Nourishing Essence Pills from her spatial ring: "Here, drink this—"

Without hesitation, the old emperor drank a bottle of Lingshui. At the same time, Ye Xiruo placed her hand on his back to help him slowly dissolve the spiritual energy.

The Supreme Elder nodded in approval upon seeing Ye Xiruo's actions. Her timing, the skill in her movements, and her control over spiritual energy were all quite impressive.

Half an hour later, the old emperor underwent a complete transformation. The Azure Yang True Qi was a top-tier healing true qi, and with the help of the spatial spiritual water and the Nourishing Yuan Pill, the wrinkles on his skin lessened, his silver hair turned gray, and the deathly aura around him had almost completely dissipated. The old emperor repeatedly looked at his newly strengthened arms, his face filled with disbelief. Was this the work of immortals? It was indeed incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, he couldn't control such power; otherwise, who wouldn't want to live forever?

"This is just to help you regulate your body so that you can withstand the effects of the Longevity Pill. This is the first time this method has been effective, and so is the Longevity Pill. Ultimately, fate cannot be defied."

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master."

"Send someone to bring in the precious medicinal herbs, and prepare to take the longevity pill."

"Yes, Immortal Master."

After the old emperor left, the Supreme Elder's voice rang in Ye Xiruo's ears: "Young Palace Master, why are you helping him so much?"

“After all, Rui is the country where I was born, and its emperor can be considered a wise ruler. Helping him is also helping the people of Rui.”

"Young Master is merciful."

"Chen Siling has to die, so let's consider it compensation for the old emperor! Besides, I don't know if what I'm thinking is feasible or not." To put it bluntly, she also has the suspicion of using the old emperor as a guinea pig, which is exactly what human experimental guinea pig does.

"Success or failure is fate." The Supreme Elder's aura quickly disappeared.

The old emperor returned once again. His guards carried in several large red boxes, opened them one by one, and then turned and left.

Ye Xiruo selected seven or eight usable herbs from this pair, including the Second Prince's thousand-year-old blood ginseng, a five-hundred-year-old lingzhi mushroom, a three-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, and an eight-hundred-year-old he shou wu, among other herbs.

"Alright, now you can swallow the longevity pill."

After swallowing the longevity pill, the old emperor felt as if he were being torn apart by countless swords, suffering unbearable pain. He roared silently, and blood even seeped from the corners of his mouth and eyes.

Ye Xiruo realized the situation was dire; the old emperor's physical condition was far too poor to withstand such a large amount of energy.

"what to do."

"Concentrate the excess energy and seal it within his body, sealing it layer by layer." The Supreme Elder's words rang in Ye Xiruo's ears.

Ye Xiruo Village Su took action, sealing the rampant energy within the old emperor's body. The Qingyang True Qi once again circulated within the old emperor's body, helping him repair his injuries.

She was too impatient. If the old emperor had been carefully recuperated for a month and taken the longevity pill, it would have been a natural progression, and the situation today would never have occurred.

Fortunately, with the Supreme Elder by her side, she was able to control the energy within the old emperor's body in time.

The old emperor's body was too weak, so Ye Xiruo had to release a large amount of Qingyang True Qi to maintain his life force.

An hour later, the old emperor's condition finally stabilized. Ye Xiruo took a few pills and began to meditate to recover. She had underestimated the situation, and now she was in such a sorry state.

Two hours later, the old emperor slowly opened his eyes. The instant he swallowed the elixir, he truly felt he was about to die. Who had sent this immortal master to try and kill him in such a way? The old emperor sighed inwardly, "So wise all my life, yet so foolish this time. Without investigating the immortal master's background, I risked everything by swallowing the elixir."

However, the immortal master did not abandon him. The vital energy that kept coming from behind him nourished his wounds and helped him digest the energy in his body. The old emperor felt very guilty. He should not have doubted the immortal master.

The moment the old emperor awoke, Ye Xiruo also opened her eyes: "How are you feeling now?"

"Very good, better than ever before. Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life." The old emperor knelt down and bowed deeply to Ye Xiruo. Ye Xiruo turned to the side. Come to think of it, she was the old emperor's son-killer.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. Just keep your promise. I will come back every five years for the next thirty years to check on your health."
