Huo Qubing stood there in a daze.

"Is this... for me?"

"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded and said, "This peach can extend your life and repair your body's hidden dangers. Eat it and you will feel much better."

Huo Qubing stared at Lin Qiye for a long time with an extremely complicated expression.

"I am just a crippled body. Even if I have this peach to prolong my life, how long can I survive... I appreciate your kindness. This peach was exchanged by you, so you should eat it."

"I've already eaten one, it would be a waste if I eat this one."

Lin Qiye forced the peach back into Huo Qubing's hand and said, "You are the champion marquis in the world. No one in the world deserves this peach more than you. If you don't eat it, I will destroy it."

Despite Lin Qiye's repeated dissuasion, Huo Qubing finally sighed and put the peach into his mouth.

As the peaches entered the body, the pale and weak face visibly regained its color, and the vitality that was on the verge of withering quickly regenerated. Powerful mental power waves rolled out from the body, and the eyes were revived with spirit again!

"My Lord, please sit in meditation and regulate your breathing. I will protect you." Lin Qiye's voice rang in Huo Qubing's ears.

Surging power surged through Huo Qubing's body. He closed his eyes tightly, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on absorbing the essence of the peaches. His mental strength, which was already at the ceiling level for humans, began to grow again!

Feeling the changes in Huo Qubing, the others showed shock on their faces. They had not expected that the peach contained such terrifying power.

"What a powerful Taozi." Chloe's eyes widened, "Is this the mysterious power from the East?"

Absorbing the peaches is a long process. According to Lin Qiye's estimation, it would take Huo Qubing about half a day to completely absorb the peaches. Although this peach could not make him a god, it should be able to extend his lifespan.

In theory, one peach is enough to extend the life of an ordinary person for decades, but for the [Dominating Emperor], the effect should be greatly reduced... As to how long it can be extended, perhaps only Huo Qubing himself knows.

"Jialan, where is the Immortal Pill?"

At this moment, Queen Mother of the West turned to look at Galan and asked.

Galan: (⊙x⊙;)

"Forehead……"

Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of her forehead, and she suddenly became nervous. She knew that this day had finally come.

Seeing Galan's reaction, Queen Mother of the West narrowed her eyes slightly. She stretched out her hand in the air, and a white alchemy pot automatically flew out of Galan's sleeve and landed in her palm.

When Queen Mother Xi opened the pot of elixir and took a look, her face suddenly turned grim.

"Where's the Immortality Pill?"

Just when Jia Lan was at a loss, a voice came from behind her:

"My lady, I let her eat the immortality pill."

Queen Mother of the West frowned and looked over, only to see Lin Qiye, dressed in green, calmly walk up to Galan and speak respectfully.

"Eat it?" Queen Mother of the West's voice was a little low. "Lin Qiye, do you know that this immortality pill is a secret treasure made by Lingbao Tianzun for the common people of the world to overcome tribulations? Its materials are even more scarce than your Hongmeng Spirit Embryo. There are only two of them in the world, and it will never be possible to refine them again in the future...

The culprit who disturbed the Yao Chi and the monster that hunted down Galan were all here for it. If it had to be destroyed, it would be fine, at least it didn't fall into the hands of foreign enemies.

But once she takes this pill, it will always remain in her body. Not only will she not be able to combine with the immortality pill to save the people of the world, she will also become the target of those monsters... If she is kidnapped and the immortality pill is forcibly extracted, it will cause a horrific catastrophe. "

The low voice of Queen Mother of the West sounded in front of the third hall. As her eyes gradually narrowed, the terrifying divine power pressed on Galan's shoulders, causing her to kneel down in front of the steps.

Although the Queen Mother of the West seems gentle and peaceful, she is actually very resolute and decisive in her actions. Otherwise, she would not have massacred her own Yao Chi with blood with her own hands, and even spared the main gods who came to visit her... In her heart, she has her own set of ideas, and Galan's violation of her will and privately swallowing the immortal pill undoubtedly touched her bottom line.

Galan knew the Queen Mother of the West's temper very well. At this moment, his face was extremely pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to look up at the figure in front of the palace.

Queen Mother Xi took a deep breath, dragged her gilded purple robe across the steps, and slowly walked towards Galan:

"Before I sent them away, I warned them not to swallow the pills privately... Now that this situation has occurred, you'd better give me an explanation."

Just when Galan's head lowered almost to the ground, a figure stood between her and the Queen Mother of the West.

"My lady, do you believe in cause and effect?"

Queen Mother of the West stared at Lin Qiye in front of her for a long time before she spoke, "Cause and effect is one of the highest principles of heaven and earth. I naturally believe in it."

"Then if I say that Galan swallowing the elixir is inevitable due to cause and effect, would you believe it, Madam?"

"Cause and effect are inevitable?" Queen Mother Xi shook her head, "Lin Qiye, I know you have the power of cause and effect, but if everything in this world is inevitable, then what is the meaning of our existence?

There is no inevitable cause and effect in the world. The so-called inevitable result is nothing more than someone planting the "cause" in advance. "

The inevitable result...is it because someone planted the "cause" in advance?

When Lin Qiye heard this, it was as if a flash of inspiration passed through his mind. He seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes.

“My queen, you are right. All the seemingly inevitable results in the world are because someone has planted the ‘cause’… and I am that ‘cause’ person.

I was the one who made it happen that Jialan swallowed the immortal pill. This is exactly the cause I planted for my future generations."

Queen Mother Xi frowned and looked at him, "Lin Qiye, do you know how big a risk you will take by doing this?"

"I did all these things alone, so the risks are naturally borne by me alone." Lin Qiye clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me and let Jia Lan go."

The Queen Mother of the West had a gloomy face, and her eyes kept scanning Lin Qiye and Jialan, as if she was thinking about something.

Finally, she made up her mind and locked her eyes on Lin Qiye.

"Since you insist on planting this 'cause' for her, I will do as you wish. I just hope that you will not regret it one day..." Queen Mother of the West took one last look at Kālaan, turned around and walked back. The sleeves of her gilded purple robe fluttered slightly, and her voice came slowly,

"Zhu Hun Jia Lan, you disobeyed my order and secretly swallowed the immortal pill. You will be expelled from Yao Chi immediately. From now on, you will have nothing to do with me anymore."

Hearing these words, Galan's eyes suddenly froze. She looked at the back of Queen Mother of the West in astonishment, and she stood there like a sculpture.

When the figure gradually walked away, she suddenly came to her senses and slammed her forehead heavily on the ground:

"Jialan...kneel down to see the queen off."
