The sunlight shone through the clouds, covering the entire earth and illuminating the sky and the earth.
A scream came from the room, "Who are you?"
Xuan Qing heard his wife scream, opened his eyes and looked at her unhappily, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"You...you are Xuan Qing? How come you become so young?" Qiuyue looked at Xuan Qing carefully, making sure that the person in front of her was indeed her husband.
Hearing this, Xuan Qing reached out and touched his face. He quickly got out of bed and went to the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror, only to see an old and handsome face. A look of ecstasy appeared on his face. "I've become younger. That medicine can actually make me younger." The prescription only said that it could prolong life, not that it could make me younger. This was a huge surprise!
Last night, he drank the last day's medicine and went straight to bed. He didn't expect to have such a big surprise early in the morning. No wonder he felt particularly hot last night, as if his body was burning, and he thought he was sick.
"Lord! What happened to you?" The guard's anxious voice came from outside.
"It's okay," Xuan Qing said, suppressing his excitement. He had grown younger, which meant his lifespan had truly increased by sixty years. So, for the time being, he didn't have to consider abdicating.
"Did you become younger because of that medicine?" Qiuyue asked expectantly. She knew her husband had been taking a certain medicine these days.
Xuan Qing nodded and said, "I'm going to take a shower." He now felt uncomfortable and sticky all over, and there was also a strange smell.
Qiuyue got out of bed and walked to the mirror. Looking at her face in the mirror which was weathered by time, she reached out to touch the fine lines at the corners of her eyes and said, "Can I become younger too?" The most precious thing for a woman is her appearance. Being able to maintain her appearance forever is the dream of countless women.
Xuan Le received Xuan Qing's summons and immediately went to Xuan Qing's study. The moment he saw Xuan Qing, he was completely stunned. "Father...Father?" The man before him had the same facial features as his father, only younger. Could it be because of the medicine?
Xuan Qing smiled and nodded, "It's because of the effect of the medicine." To further confirm, he had already asked his wife to take the medicine. He felt younger, and his whole body was full of vitality, as if his whole body had endless energy. It felt so good to be young!
Hearing this, Xuan Le's face was filled with disbelief. Although he had already suspected it, after hearing his father's words, he still couldn't believe it was true. That medicine could make people younger, and youth naturally extended their lifespan. Wouldn't that be an elixir? Who was that woman? She could just casually write a prescription, and it was so amazing.
"This matter is of grave importance and must not be leaked," Xuan Qing said solemnly. He had already ordered the arrest of Pharmacist Li's family and the shopkeeper. He was determined to find the woman who had given the shopkeeper the prescription. To be able to give such a prescription, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Father, you've suddenly become younger, and there will definitely be people secretly speculating about it. I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret," Xuan Le said. It would be difficult to keep this matter secret.
Xuan Qing nodded. "I will make the final decision on this matter. The most urgent thing is to find that woman as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xuan Le replied. He also wanted to find that woman as soon as possible. He wanted to ask her who she was and why she had suddenly appeared at the Royal Manor. And that prescription was absolutely priceless. She had casually traded it for a worthless map. The annotations on the prescription showed that she knew the efficacy of the medicine. The fact that she knew the efficacy and even offered it in exchange showed her extraordinary talent.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan had no idea about what was happening outside, nor were they interested in knowing. They had been practicing hard, wanting to recover their spiritual consciousness as soon as possible. Only by recovering their spiritual consciousness could they regain their strength and leave here and return to the fairyland.
Zhan Yihan opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Su Jinyue who was practicing. After these days of practice, his spiritual sense was already usable.
He waved his hand and offered up a pile of fairy stones, then casually set up a spirit gathering array. The fairy spirit immediately dissipated throughout the space.
Su Jinyue felt the fairy spirit and absorbed it quickly. After a while, her imprisoned consciousness recovered. She came out of the cultivation state in surprise, opened her eyes and looked at Zhan Yihan, "Yihan, let's go into the Golden Leaf Realm to practice." There was no need to guess. It must be Yihan who recovered his consciousness and sacrificed these fairy stones.
"Yeah." Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded.
Su Jinyue's mind moved, and the next moment, she and Zhan Yihan appeared in the Golden Leaf Realm.
Rich spiritual energy surged in from all directions, and the two took a deep breath of comfort. This feeling was just great!
"Let's practice." Zhan Yihan set up a time formation and sat down with Su Jinyue inside it. With the immortal spirit energy, it would only take a short time for them to recover their strength.
Xuan Le was filled with annoyance when he heard the guard's report. These days, the people he sent out have practically turned the entire Liyuan Kingdom upside down, but there's still no news of Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. Could it be that they've already left Liyuan Kingdom?
There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, followed by a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in!" Xuan Le said in a deep voice.
Xuan Tong walked into the study and stood in front of Xuan Le. "Brother!" She had been hoping for her brother to find Zhan Yihan and the others as soon as possible. She wanted to meet Zhan Yihan's wife and see what kind of person she was. She had seen the painting her brother had drawn, but there was still a huge difference between the painting and the real person. She knew that there was no possibility for her and Zhan Yihan to be together, but she just wanted to see him one last time and say goodbye to him in person.
"There's no news from them. I wonder if they've left Liyuan Country," Xuan Le said. The thought of never seeing that woman again filled his heart with irritation.
Xuan Tong sighed in disappointment, "Brother, do you think they might be gods?"
"Why do you have such an idea?" Xuan Le looked at Xuan Tong in confusion.
"If she wasn't a deity, why would she give away such a heaven-defying prescription?" Xuan Tong asked. Not only did her father become younger, but her mother too, which was enough to prove that the medicine in the prescription was indeed effective.
Xuan Le smiled, "Perhaps it's a secret recipe passed down from her family." That medicine's efficacy is so incredible, who would believe it truly works without first testing it? Perhaps the woman simply didn't believe the recipe had such efficacy, which is why she gave it away. Otherwise, only a fool would give such a recipe away. As for immortals, those were only legends. Where in the world could immortals exist?
