Liuli wiped away her tears, reached out and took the jade bottle. Curious, she opened it and saw two white pills inside. As she brought the bottle close, a rich, sweet fragrance wafted into her nose, making her mouth water and causing her to swallow hard.
Faced with such delicious food, she temporarily forgot about Shi Chan, only thinking about how fragrant the elixir of immortality smelled and wondered what it tasted like.
Li Molin looked at her with amusement and instructed, "This elixir of immortality can greatly increase your cultivation level. It's best not to take it now. Wait until you have some free time to take it so you can better digest the spiritual energy."
"Oh, okay." Liuli nodded obediently, but secretly swallowed.
Li Molin turned to Lingxi and said, "Lingxi, this place is dangerous. You should take Liuli and leave."
"Yes." Lingxi nodded, took Liuli's hand, and said, "Let's go, sister."
Liuli glanced absentmindedly at the jade bottle in her hand, gave a perfunctory reply, and let Lingxi pull her down, leaving the battlefield. Lingxi led Liuli to the top of Pure Land Mountain, stopping in an open space next to the small wooden house.
At that time, all the disciples of Bodhi Temple had flown into the air to resist the demons, so the entire Pure Land Mountain was very quiet, not to mention that the top of the mountain was usually deserted and unusually quiet.
After landing, Lingxi curiously walked towards the cabin. She stood quietly outside for a moment, then gently pushed the two slightly ajar doors, which creaked open. She peeked inside, looked around, and then curiously went inside.
Liuli paid no attention to Lingxi; her eyes were fixed on the jade bottle in her hand, looking as if she desperately wanted to swallow both pills at once. She stared at it for a while, then remembered Li Molin's words, gritted her teeth, and was about to put the jade bottle into her storage ring. However, she stopped after reciting only two words of the incantation. She swallowed hard, her eyes darting around in a struggle for a moment, before finally muttering recklessly, "Whatever, I'll just eat one… just one, it'll be fine, right…"
After saying that, she opened the stopper of the jade bottle, poured out a pill, and hurriedly put it into her mouth.
The pill melts in your mouth, with a sweet and refreshing taste, accompanied by a rich and pleasant aroma. A huge amount of spiritual energy is swallowed along with the pill and instantly spreads throughout your body.
"Mmm..." Liuli nodded repeatedly with a satisfied look, muttering, "Delicious, delicious..."
After saying that, her eyes fixed on the remaining pill in the jade bottle. She stared at it for a while, then couldn't help but lick her lips and swallow.
"I've already eaten one..." she muttered, "So what if I eat another one..."
And so, she quickly convinced herself to pour out the last pill from the jade bottle, put it in her mouth, and swallow it.
The sweet and delicious taste lasted only a moment; a short while later, Liuli regretted it.
The method for refining the elixir of immortality was pieced together piece by piece by the demons after secretly capturing many disciples of the Central Plains Daoist sect. Although the immortality elixir made by the demons was a copy, the spiritual herbs used to make the pills were no different from those of the Daoists, and the refining methods were also modeled after the Daoists. The only difference was that their alchemy incantations were not as refined, and their techniques were not as sophisticated.
Although this imitation of the elixir of immortality is far inferior to the miraculous effects of the Taoist elixir of immortality, it still provides more than a hundred times the spiritual energy replenished by directly consuming the immortal fruit.
Given Liuli's current cultivation level, which is equivalent to that of a mid-to-late stage Golden Core cultivator in the mortal realm, it would take her a long time to digest and fully absorb the massive amount of spiritual energy from a single imitation immortality elixir. However, it would not be good for her to consume two in a row like this.
The elixirs refined by cultivators have many miraculous effects, but like medicines for healing in the human world, they need to be taken in a specific amount. If you take too little, the medicine will not be effective enough, but if you take too much, you may harm yourself.
At this moment, Liuli swallowed two imitation immortality pills in succession, and the spiritual power in her body immediately surged wildly. The surging spiritual power almost shattered all the meridians in her body, causing her to feel excruciating pain all over her body, as if she were being cut by knives.
A moment later, every pore on Liuli's body emitted a white light, which highlighted the ghastly change on her face. She was horrified and exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh no, oh no..."
More and more spiritual energy was released by the two immortal pills. Even though Liuli was a divine beast, she couldn't absorb the massive amount of spiritual energy in time. The unabsorbed spiritual energy surged wildly in her body, and it looked like it was about to shatter all the meridians in her body, causing her to die a miserable death from body explosion.
In the increasingly dazzling white light, Liuli slowly knelt on the ground, hugging herself tightly with both hands, her knuckles white as she gripped her shoulders. She was in pain, her brows furrowed, her face contorted, and she couldn't help but let out cries of pain.
"Sister?" A cry of pain came into the wooden house. Lingxi, who was curiously looking around inside, was shocked. She rushed out of the wooden house and saw Liuli curled up in a ball in the white light, her face full of pain.
Lingxi rushed to Liuli and knelt down, anxiously asking, "Sister, what's wrong?"
“Ling…Lingxi…” Liuli looked up at Lingxi, her face full of pain and sweat beading on her forehead. She managed to squeeze out a sentence, “I ate…two immortality pills…what should I do, Lingxi?”
Lingxi's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "Two? Are you crazy, sister? I only ate one immortality elixir that day and it took me more than ten days to digest it and absorb the spiritual energy. You actually ate two at once!"
"I..." Liuli cried out in anguish, "I was wrong, Lingxi... please save me... save me... it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
After a moment's thought, Lingxi gritted her teeth, reached out and took Liuli's hands, channeling her spiritual power into Liuli's body to soothe the massive amount of spiritual energy surging through her meridians.
With the help of others, Liuli's pain was slightly relieved. She closed her eyes and focused all her consciousness into her body, working with Lingxi to soothe the spiritual energy within her body little by little and slowly absorb it.
Liuli and Lingxi sat cross-legged facing each other, hand in hand, their figures enveloped in a ball of white light. As time passed, their expressions gradually calmed, and they both focused their minds on Liuli's body. Therefore, they had no extra energy to pay attention to the battle in the sky, and were unaware of the current situation of the battle between the Buddha and the Demon.
Time passed slowly, and it was already a quarter past noon. It was a beautiful day, with a warm sun high in the sky, illuminating the fierce battle below.
At that time, the disciples of Bodhi Temple suffered heavy losses. If the reinforcements from Jinyuan Temple and Pudu Nunnery did not arrive soon, Bodhi Temple might really be unable to hold on.
Shi Ning frowned deeply during the fierce battle, his face full of worry.
