Two hours passed, and there was no change in Jiang Qiling's body. In other words, the recipe was completely ineffective on her. On the other hand, it was of course effective on him.
Jiang Qiling also cried with joy, rushed forward and hugged Mu Hanyan tightly.
If Mu Hanyan had not come to the illusion of life and death, she didn't know how many times she would have to endure that hellish pain. Sooner or later, she would have a mental breakdown and fall into madness forever, or even commit suicide because she couldn't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, Mu Hanyan came and freed her from the endless sea of suffering in just a few days.
There were countless words of gratitude in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't say a single word.
Mu Hanyan hugged Jiang Qiling tightly, her heart filled with relief. Witnessing Taotie's miserable end, she once again understood the horrific pain Jiang Qiling endured. Now that she had finally successfully tested the formula for the elixir, she no longer had to endure that pain, and Mu Hanyan was happy for her.
Next to him, Taotie, who had not yet completely calmed down from his extreme ecstasy, had already begun preparing herbs and refining the pill according to the recipe of Mu Hanyan's last experiment.
Of course, the same protective magic pot was still used, but this time it had a lid.
Mu Hanyan originally wanted to help, but after seeing the hand gestures he made, she quickly gave up the idea.
Although his mind is not very sharp, one has to admit that Taotie's nearly one million years of hard work have not been in vain. Whether it is the grasp of timing or the use of alchemy hand gestures, Taotie is perfect, and even Mu Hanyan can't find any fault with it.
And that stew pot used for making elixirs - I have to admit, although it is a bit strange to use such a big pot to cook one person's meal, it is even stranger to use it as a protective magic weapon, and it is even stranger to use it to make elixirs, but only such a big pot can make such a wonderful elixir.
As Taotie continued to execute his hand seals, a thunderous rumble erupted from the alchemy furnace. With Mu Hanyan's divine sense, it was easy to detect the nectar condensed into a cup, slowly forming into a pill. At this point, the medicinal power surged, ten or even a hundred times stronger than before. If it weren't for Taotie's protective magical cauldron, any other alchemy furnace would have exploded to pieces long ago.
One day, two days, and three whole days passed. Suddenly, the thunder-like muffled sound in the alchemy furnace stopped, as if time had stopped. Then, a buzzing sound like the sound of immortals was heard.
"The pill is ready!" Taotie suddenly opened the lid of the pot, and a pill flew up and stopped in front of him.
Without even taking a second look at it, Taotie grabbed the pill and threw it into his mouth impatiently.
"What a waste of resources!" Mu Hanyan complained in her heart. She had originally wanted to see what this elixir that had consumed Taotie for nearly a hundred years looked like, but who knew that this guy swallowed it up like a starving ghost. He wasn't even afraid of poisoning himself!
In fact, it cannot be blamed on Taotie for wasting resources. Nearly a million years is just an empty number to outsiders, but to him, it is endless waiting and endless loneliness. When the time finally comes to escape, how can he suppress his excitement and urgency?
"Roar!" Just as Mu Hanyan was secretly complaining, a beast roar sounded.
Taotie's already tall body expanded and changed as if it was inflated. In a moment, a huge ferocious beast appeared before their eyes.
It has a sheep's body, tiger's claws, sharp horns and fangs, a mouth that can swallow the sky, and a fierce and domineering aura that reveals a murderous aura. Isn't it one of the four legendary ferocious beasts: Taotie!
"Hahahaha, I'm back. I, the Great Taotie, am back again. I'm one of the four great divine beasts who is famous throughout the ancient world and is known as the greatest genius in the world. The Great Taotie is back again..." Taotie, who turned back into his original form, shook his head and shouted wildly.
"Your name doesn't seem to be among the four divine beasts. They are the four evil beasts. And stop roaring. This is an illusion of life and death. No matter how loud you roar, no one can hear it except us." Mu Hanyan reminded.
"Uh..." Taotie, who was so excited that his blood was boiling, was immediately weakened by Mu Hanyan pouring a bucket of cold water on his head.
"The four divine beasts are nothing. If I hadn't been lucky, with my talent, understanding, opportunity and strength, I, the Great Lord Taotie, would have surpassed them sooner or later and become the strongest beast lord second only to the Great Lord Aolai." Taotie curled his lips and muttered unconvincedly.
Although he believed that he was gifted and was definitely not inferior to the four divine beasts, there was nothing he could do. The hierarchy of bloodlines was a chasm that was difficult for all beasts to cross. Even though he felt very unwilling, he could do nothing about it.
Unless he can transcend the limitations of the laws of the Holy Continent, possess the ability to shatter the void, and his physique and soul undergo earth-shaking changes at the same time, he will never be able to surpass the four divine beasts.
Hearing him mention the Aolai beast, Mu Hanyan's heart stirred. Even with Taotie's arrogance, he only dared to claim that one day he would surpass the four great beasts, but he didn't dare show the slightest disrespect to Aolai. Aolai had left the Sacred Continent millions of years ago, but after all these years, his prestige remained undiminished. It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful Aolai must have been back then.
In her memory, the divine beast Aolai was actually her mount in her previous life, and it was also a divine pet and her companion who accompanied her through life and death. It was very likely that its death was also related to herself. Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but worry about it.
The more powerful the divine beast, the more difficult it is to restore its strength after resurrection. No one knows where it has gone now, to what level its strength has recovered, and whether its intelligence has returned to normal.
But now is obviously not the time to worry about Ao Lai. The most urgent task is the Phoenix Nirvana Fire.
"Can we leave now?" Mu Hanyan said to Taotie.
"It's just a trivial matter. I'll take you away right now." Taotie puffed out his chest and said majestically.
Then, Taotie shook his head, and the two horns on his head suddenly flashed a cold light, like two indestructible blades.
"Ah...Ahhh..." Taotie let out a strange howl, lowered his head, and rushed forward.
In the originally illusory and invisible space, a translucent barrier like crystal suddenly appeared. Obviously, it was the spatial barrier of the illusion of life and death.
Just like the Illusion of Life and Death is just an independent space contained within the Holy Continent, but it could be anywhere, the spatial barrier of the Illusion of Life and Death could also be anywhere. Only the Taotie who set up the barrier with his own hands could easily find it. If it were Mu Hanyan, she might find nothing even after searching for a hundred years or a thousand years.
Taotie's muscles were tense, and it was obvious that he was using all his strength to crash into the space barrier.
