"The quantity is not right." Mu Hanyan said concisely and clearly.
"How do you know it's wrong?" Taotie looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
He spent hundreds of thousands of years working on this pill recipe, and in the end he could only rely on Jiang Qiling to help test it. How did Mu Hanyan know that something was wrong?
"Just believe me. Anyway, you might not be able to find the answer even if you try ten thousand times. It will only make Qi Ling suffer." Mu Hanyan was too lazy to explain too much to him and said bluntly.
She actually had some resentment towards Taotie. After all, she had only just arrived in the Realm of Life and Death and didn't know much about the recipe. It was one thing for him to fail to grasp the idea, but this guy had put in hundreds of thousands of years of hard work, nearly a million years, and still hadn't come up with a solution. He had caused Jiang Qiling so much suffering. He was simply a fool.
Taotie was initially furious, but Mu Hanyan's words choked him into silence. Failure after failure had left him increasingly frustrated. If Mu Hanyan had asked him how many attempts it would take to succeed, he would have been evasive.
"Well, she is your friend anyway, and you prepared these herbs yourself. You can't blame me if she suffers again." Although it was difficult to refute, Taotie was still somewhat indignant in his heart and said unhappily.
Mu Hanyan ignored him and continued to concentrate on sorting the herbs.
"Okay, let's start." It took Mu Hanyan half an hour to organize the herbs. She checked them and pondered them carefully several times. After making sure everything was correct, she said to Taotie.
After looking at the herbs that Mu Hanyan had remeasured, Taotie, although confused, still lit the fire and began to boil the medicinal soup.
The rich aroma of medicine filled the air again, and Jiang Qiling drank it all without hesitation.
"Ah!" Immediately, she let out a heart-wrenching scream, and her pretty face twisted and changed rapidly.
Such a result was not beyond Mu Hanyan's expectations. Although she had made many improvements to the pill formula, Mu Hanyan did not think that success could be achieved with one effort. So when Jiang Qiling screamed, she had already made another move, pressed on her shoulder, and explored with her mind.
In a frenzy, Jiang Qiling's fingers, which were sharper than animal claws, pierced her shoulder again. The wound, which had just healed, began to bleed like a fountain again.
Mu Hanyan's whole body trembled slightly, but she endured the piercing pain and continued to mobilize her spiritual power.
"Hmph, you dare to say that my pill recipe is wrong? Didn't you get the same result?" Seeing the scene in front of him, Taotie muttered disdainfully.
But immediately, his eyes widened. Jiang Qiling's screams suddenly stopped, and the pain and madness in her eyes were much lighter than before, and the speed at which her expression changed became slower and slower.
"What's going on?" Taotie opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
"You, how did you do that?" Jiang Qiling finally regained a little consciousness and looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise and disbelief.
He suddenly noticed that his fingers had pierced Mu Hanyan's shoulder and quickly pulled them back.
"Don't worry about it. You might go crazy again later and hurt me again. So let it be." Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and said to Jiang Qiling.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qiling's whole body trembled violently again. The clarity that finally appeared in her eyes was replaced by pain and madness. The finger that had just been retracted halfway once again pierced deeply into Mu Hanyan's shoulder.
Mu Hanyan trembled all over and gave a wry smile. It would have been better if Jiang Qiling's finger had remained on the wound. It would have been troublesome if it had just been painful. But retracting it halfway and then stabbing it back again was like sticking a knife into the wound, wasn't it?
Despite this, Mu Hanyan's heart was still full of joy.
This time, Jiang Qiling's expression changed much more slowly, and she even regained consciousness once. She also clearly felt that the medicinal power flowing through her body had become much milder. If this continued, it shouldn't take more than a few times for her to figure out the correct formula.
Enduring the pain, Mu Hanyan continued to concentrate his mind and investigate.
Taotie stared blankly for a long time, and finally noticed the restrained divine light in Mu Hanyan's slightly concentrated eyes, and guessed what she was doing. It turned out that she was using her divine sense to sense the changes in Jiang Qiling's meridians and bones, and then using her understanding of the medicinal properties of herbs to deduce the correct recipe for the pill.
"Stupid, why didn't I think of this method?" Taotie slapped his forehead and rushed forward in ecstasy.
Coming to Jiang Qiling, Taotie waved his hand and pressed it on her head.
Although his strength was greatly reduced after he transformed into a human form, when it came to spiritual power, he was confident that he was no weaker than Mu Hanyan.
Unfortunately, he was wrong. As soon as his divine sense penetrated Jiang Qiling's body, he felt a tremor in his heart, and boundless pain flooded into his mind like a tide. At this moment, he actually empathized with Jiang Qiling's pain.
It turned out that under the stimulation of the drug, Jiang Qiling not only gained great strength, like a wounded beast, but even her spiritual consciousness was greatly enhanced. If one used spiritual consciousness to explore her body, one would immediately be met with a crazy counterattack, and the pain would also penetrate deep into the mind along with the spiritual consciousness, and even directly penetrate into the soul, so that she could empathize with her pain.
"Ah!" With a scream, Taotie flew straight out.
Taotie fell heavily to the ground, his whole body trembling, tears streaming down his face. He looked at Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling from afar, not daring to take another step forward. Fortunately, he had withdrawn his attack quickly, otherwise, he would have likely gone berserk like Jiang Qiling the next moment.
It was not until this moment that he realized firsthand how much hellish torture Jiang Qiling had endured over the past year, and he felt sincere admiration for her determination and persistence at this moment.
While admiring her, he couldn't help but look at Mu Hanyan deeply. Even he couldn't bear the pain, but she was not hurt at all. How powerful was her spiritual power?
Mu Hanyan was also surprised to see Taotie's miserable end from the corner of her eye. In fact, when her divine sense penetrated Jiang Qiling's body, she also vaguely felt the pain that drove Jiang Qiling into a frenzy and turned her into a beast. As her divine sense flooded into her mind, but before it reached that point, the pain completely disappeared, having no effect on her at all.
It was precisely for this reason that Mu Hanyan didn't take it to heart at all, but she didn't expect that Jiang Qiling's spiritual power was so powerful at this time that even Taotie couldn't resist it. He was in so much pain that he was still trembling and crying.
Mu Hanyan had no doubt about the power of Taotie's divine consciousness, but why was it that the divine consciousness that even he could not resist had no effect on him at all?
