Taoist Yuxuan glanced at Xiao Chi, then returned his gaze to Song Yao. "I have some pills here. Although they can't cure his illness, they can help alleviate many of his symptoms. There are only twenty pills in total. Take them when you need to do some high-intensity work."

Song Yao was surprised and asked, "Master, you can also make pills?"

Taoist Priest Yuxuan nodded and said, "I can make pills, but there are some pills that I can't make."

Song Yao asked, "Can you really make an elixir of immortality?"

Taoist Master Yuxuan said, "I can refine the elixir of immortality, but even if I do, I won't give it to anyone. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are things everyone must experience in life. If I were to allow him to live forever, it would go against heaven's will, and he would have to pay a heavy price!"

Song Yao nodded. "I see. Then, will the girl's blood be used in refining the elixir?"

"You're talking about Imperial Master Jiang, right?" Taoist Yuxuan said, "No elixir requires human blood. Anything refined with human blood is evil. Making such a thing will not only bring heavenly wrath, but will also damage one's own luck."

"Then he said he could make an elixir of immortality. Was he deliberately deceiving me?" Song Yao asked.

Taoist Master Yuxuan said: "This elixir is not something that anyone can refine. This village is purely deceiving and wants to achieve their own goals through such behavior."

"I understand!" Song Yao said, "He must have wanted to be in a high position, so he deceived his father into thinking he could make an elixir of immortality. Perhaps, he also did it for his wife, because his wife bathed in the blood of those girls to keep herself forever young."

"Yes!" Taoist Master Yuxuan said, "Many humans will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, but they don't realize that by the time they resort to these means, they can no longer be called human!"

Song Yao nodded and said, "Master, thank you for telling me this, but it's getting late. You should go and rest first. We will set off tomorrow."

"Okay!" Taoist Master Yuxuan stood up. "If you need anything, you can tell me, or tell Hongming. He is my disciple. As long as you need it, he will do his best to satisfy you."

"Okay!" Song Yao sent Taoist Yuxuan to the door. After he left, she turned around and sat down next to Xiao Chi.

Sighing, Song Yao looked at Xiao Chi, lowered her eyes and said, "I really didn't expect that my coming here was God's will. Next, let's stop the Beilan Kingdom. Once you unify the world, we can return to the modern era."

"Okay." Xiao Chi nodded, "Then let's rest first."

"Ah."

Song Yao stood up and walked to the bed with Xiao Chi and sat down.

This was a room for guests to sleep in. After Song Yao and Xiao Chi lay down, they felt more relaxed than ever before, perhaps because they were in the Taoist temple.

They chatted for a while and felt sleepy unknowingly.

"I'm looking forward to going to the place where you once lived." Xiao Chi lay flat on his back. He was looking forward to going to the world where Song Yao once lived.

After a while, Song Yao didn't say a word.

He turned his head and saw that Song Yao had fallen asleep.

Xiao Chi smiled helplessly, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then covered her with the quilt and went to sleep.

……

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Song Yao rubbed her eyes and reached out to touch the side, but Xiao Chi was gone.

She sat up, looked around, and saw Xiao Chi sitting at the table reading a book.

"Xiao Chi."

Song Yao shouted.

Xiao Chi turned around and saw that Song Yao had woken up, so he stood up and walked to her, "Little lazy pig, it's already noon, get up quickly."

Song Yao exclaimed, a little surprised, "I slept for so long? Why didn't you wake me up?"

This is a Taoist temple, not a palace. If you sleep so late in someone else's place, they will inevitably have some complaints in their hearts.

"I saw you were sound asleep, and you didn't sleep well on the way here, so I didn't wake you up." Xiao Chi said, "Change your clothes first, and I'll get you some water to wash your face."

"..."

Before Song Yao could refuse, Xiao Chi had already left.

An emperor turned into a servant in front of her.

Shouldn't she be content?

Smiling helplessly, Song Yao got out of bed and put on her clothes. Not long after, Xiao Chi brought the water.

He wrung out the water from the handkerchief, took it to Song Yao, and looked at her gently, "Do you need me to wash your face?"

"Forget it, I'm not disabled." Song Yao took the washcloth, walked to the washbasin and started washing.

After washing up, Song Yao simply put on her makeup and went out with Xiao Chi.

When they arrived at the front yard of the Taoist temple, Taoist Master Yuxuan was instructing Hongming on something. Seeing Song Yao and Xiao Chi coming, Taoist Master Yuxuan looked at them and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Song Yao said, "Now."

Taoist Priest Yuxuan walked up to Song Yao and handed her a bottle of elixirs that he had prepared long ago. "Don't eat them unless you have to. The quantity is limited, and I'm worried that they won't last until you leave."

"I understand." Song Yao took the white medicine bottle he handed over, but she didn't open it to look.

Taoist Yuxuan glanced at Xiao Chi, then looked at Song Yao, "I won't see you off. If there is anything, just send someone to inform me."

"Okay, Taoist priest, we'll leave first. Goodbye!" Song Yao nodded slightly, called Xiao Chi and left.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, Xie Cheng was standing there admiring the scenery. Seeing them coming, he asked, "Are we leaving now?"

Song Yao laughed, "What else? Do we have to spend the night here?"

"That's not the case." Xie Cheng scratched the back of his head and followed them down the mountain.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, half an hour had passed.

The carriage was still tied up in the same place.

Song Yao and Xiao Chi got on the carriage, and Xie Cheng drove away directly.

They hadn't eaten yet, so when they arrived at the town, Xie Cheng stopped the carriage and bought some food.

After getting on the carriage, Xie Cheng handed the food to Xiao Chi, and then continued to drive the carriage away.

In the carriage, after Song Yao finished her meal, she thought of the bottle of medicine given by Taoist Master Yuxuan. She opened it, took out a pill and smelled it.

It has a strong medicinal smell, and a light fragrance in the aftertaste.

"It turns out there are people who can actually make elixirs. I thought this only existed in the world of immortal heroes in novels. I have to say, that Taoist Master Yuxuan is really amazing."

"This medicine... do you really believe him?"

Song Yao raised her eyes to look at him, "He knows our identities. If he lies to you, what benefit can he get?"

After Song Yao put the medicine back into the bottle, she looked at Xiao Chi again, "Besides, he's a cultivator. If he did something to harm others, do you think the Taoist ancestor would let him go? I'm afraid he'll be punished by heaven in the future. So I don't think he would lie to us, but if you really don't believe it, you can give the medicine to the dog and try it."

Xiao Chi held his forehead, looked at her helplessly, put down his hand and said: "Since you trust him so much, I can trust you too, so don't try it on the dog. There are only twenty pills, so don't waste them."

"Haha!" Song Yao laughed twice. "There's no need for them to lie to us, so feel free to take this medicine."

"Ah."

Xiao Chi nodded. Not wanting to sit alone, he went over to sit with Song Yao. He took her hand and intertwined their fingers.
