Hearing Ji Chen's question, Su Wanyue remained silent, and a cold light seemed to flash in her eyes.

After a long while, she said, "During the years when I was not in the Holy Dynasty, Su Nancheng targeted my mother everywhere. During the Yehuang Ruins, he even secretly poisoned my mother, causing her to fall asleep in bed and she has not been able to wake up until now."

Hearing this, Ji Chen couldn't help but frown, "Does the Holy Emperor have no statement on this matter?"

No matter what, Su Wanyue's mother is the Holy Emperor. Although her status is far less noble than that of the Holy Empress, if the Holy Emperor really ignores this, it can only be said that Ji Chen has completely underestimated the emperor's thoughts.

"You do not understand."

Su Wanyue looked bitter, "My mother was born a palace maid, of low status, and it was because the Holy Emperor lost his moral integrity after drinking that I was born."

She called him the Holy Emperor instead of father. From this, Ji Chen could tell that the relationship between Su Wanyue and the Holy Emperor was much worse than he had imagined.

This is an unpopular princess. Compared with Su Nancheng, who is the Holy Son, Su Wanyue is nothing.

Even when she left the Holy Dynasty and stayed in the Yuhua Sect for several years, the Holy Emperor was not worried at all and never even mentioned it once.

If it weren't for the favor of the Saint Emperor, Su Wanyue would be even more helpless in the Holy Dynasty.

Her mother had an accident and was unconscious in bed, which was the main reason why Su Wanyue left without saying goodbye after visiting the Yehuang Ruins.

"What kind of poison is this? Is there an antidote?" Ji Chen asked.

Su Wanyue shook her head. "I've asked the King of Pills to take a look, but he couldn't find a solution. He said that my mother's vitality has almost been lost. It's difficult for her to wake up again, and she won't be able to recover for more than a year at most..."

When she said this, her eyes were already full of sadness.

Born into an imperial family, you will have no worries about food and clothing and a life without worries, but is it really as imagined?

Those invisible struggles, and the fights for power are actually hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Ji Chen said nothing, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I go and help?"

"You also know medicine?" Su Wanyue was stunned, stopped crying and looked over.

Ji Chen just smiled and said, "I don't know anything about medicine, but I know a little bit about alchemy. After reading this, I might be able to come up with some elixir to heal your mother."

"You can also make elixirs?"

Su Wanyue was a little surprised to hear this.

Although she knew that Ji Chen had a close relationship with the Pill King, she had never thought that the other party was also an alchemist.

A super genius with a divine body famous in the East Wilderness and nine spiritual veins, who not only has extraordinary talent in martial arts, but also has some understanding of alchemy. Such a thing is really unexpected.

What Su Wanyue didn't know was that Ji Chen's words were still full of modesty.

With his current mental strength, he can easily refine a fourth-grade pill, or even a fifth-grade pill. Ji Chen is confident that the success rate of refining it will not be very low.

Without saying much, Su Wanyue quickly adjusted her mood, wiped away her tears, returned to the palace, changed into casual clothes, and left the princess palace with Ji Chen.

Compared to the bustling Holy City, the Holy Palace at night was obviously much quieter. There were only a few attendants patrolling, and many palace maids had already retired to rest.

Not long after, under the guidance of Su Wanyue, Ji Chen arrived at a palace courtyard.

Compared to her princess palace, this place seemed much more deserted, as if it were a cold palace with few people around.

Concubine Ning, mother of Su Wanyue.

She was born a palace maid and has never held a very high status in this holy palace.

The reason why she was named Concubine Ning was largely because Su Wanyue was deeply loved by the old Holy Emperor, so the Holy Emperor had to give her such a title.

The lights in the hall were dim, and the two palace maids in charge of taking care of Concubine Ning were standing by the bed and had already dozed off.

The two palace maids were awakened by the footsteps, but when they saw that the person coming was Su Wanyue, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

"How is mother today? Has anything happened?" Su Wanyue asked.

"Empress Ning is the same as before, and her breathing is smooth." The two palace maids responded truthfully.

Su Wanyue nodded, "You guys can leave first."

"Yes."

They responded and left, retreating outside the hall.

Ji Chen looked towards the bed and saw a figure lying there. It was a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked somewhat similar to Su Wanyue.

She lay unconscious on the bed, her face looking a little pale.

Ji Chen was speechless. He just bowed slightly to Concubine Ning on the bed, then walked over, stretched out two fingers, and placed them on the other's pulse.

"Buzz!"

A surge of spiritual power belonging to an alchemist flowed along Ji Chen's fingers, invaded Concubine Ning's body, and flowed through her blood.

"What's the situation? Is there any medicine that can cure it?"

After a moment, Ji Chen withdrew his fingers. Although Su Wanyue knew that the chances were slim, after all, even the Dan King was helpless, she still couldn't help but ask, holding on to a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"It's much more serious than I thought. Concubine Ning's vitality is almost exhausted. I'm afraid ordinary elixirs will not be of any help." Ji Chen frowned.

Hearing this, Su Wanyue's face turned pale, but she still forced a smile, as if she had already prepared herself mentally.

"But..." Ji Chen touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

"But what?" Su Wanyue was stunned. Could there be a turning point?

"I do have a special item here that has extremely strong vitality. If it can be condensed into a pill, I wonder if it can be of help to Concubine Ning." Ji Chen said.

What he was talking about was naturally the magical milk of the earth.

This thing was not very rare in ancient times.

But in this post-era, they are almost extinct. Even if one searches all the major holy places and ancient families, it is difficult to find many. They are extremely precious.

But for Ji Chen, the Earth's Spirit Milk is inexhaustible.

The question is, how can this thing be condensed into a pill?

"Buzz!"

Without thinking too much, he flipped his hand, took out a piece of paper and pen from the mysterious ring, and wrote down a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs in front of Su Wanyue.

"Send someone to buy these herbs for me tomorrow. They are not very high-end herbs and should be easy to buy in the Holy City." Ji Chen handed the paper to Su Wanyue.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to buy it tonight." Su Wanyue nodded, unable to wait until tomorrow.

Moreover, the Holy City is the center of the Xuanyu, known as the city that never sleeps. Even late at night, it is still bustling and many shops are not closed.

"After you buy the herbs, please send them to me. Also, I need an alchemy furnace." Ji Chen said.

Su Wanyue nodded, "There are several guest alchemists in the Holy Palace. They have alchemy furnaces. I will find them for you later."

While they were talking, they had already left Concubine Ning's palace, not daring to disturb her peace too much.

After returning to Su Wanyue's princess palace, she immediately sent people to the holy city to purchase medicinal materials and borrowed the alchemy furnace.

"I can't guarantee that this pill will work, so don't hold on to too much hope."

Ji Chen entered the room with medicinal herbs and the alchemy furnace. Before closing the door, he spoke to Su Wanyue.
