"Immortality," the young man said.

"Immortality," Ling Xiao replied with a smile.

Immortality is not the goal; eternal life is what people seek. Desire arouses greed, and the more one gains, the less easily one will give it up.

Who would have thought that the unfinished Corpse Beetle Pill was actually the real elixir of immortality?

But medicine needs a catalyst, just like yin and yang. No matter how good something is, if you can't tolerate it, it won't work! To achieve immortality, one must first endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear. He thought the Wang family would be happy to pay for it, even if it came at a terrible price.

The young man looked down, seemingly lost in thought.

Ling Xiao glanced down, then took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the young man, saying, "I added something special to the blood. This is the antidote. Where's the Healing Flower? I'm going."

The young man looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Don't worry! There's no harm in it." After saying that, he went down the small hill first.

—Around the spring

Ling Xiao walked to Xie Yuhua's side, fed him the antidote, and called to him:

"Little Flower Brother".

"Little Flower Brother?"

Unsurprisingly, Jieyuhua opened her eyes.

He looked at Ling Xiao, paused for a moment, and then hugged him, saying, "Kid, I want to eat wontons."

"If Brother Xiaohua wants to eat, then Lingxiao will make it for you when we get back, okay?" Lingxiao coaxed him, and then began to take off Xieyuhua's clothes, draping his own clothes over Xieyuhua's body and wiping Xieyuhua's face with wet tissues.

With a "hiss" sound, Ling Xiao lowered his head in disbelief.

A sharp dagger, from the Emei Sect, was stuck straight in Ling Xiao's stomach. It was the one that Jieyuhua had found while Ling Xiao was changing clothes.

"Xiaohua! What are you doing?"

"Lingzi! How are you?" After the group regained consciousness, they saw this scene, and Wuxie rushed over to help Lingxiao up.

Ling Xiao was supported by Wu Xie, who then pulled the Emei dagger from his body. Wu Xie saw that blood was seeping from Ling Xiao's back, clearly indicating that it had pierced through him...

Jieyuhua frowned. If Lingxiao hadn't touched his arm, the blow would have hit his heart squarely.

As more and more people gathered, there were now even more people to deal with... It was unlikely that they would find such a good opportunity again.

Just as Jieyuhua was about to make another move, the young man grasped his hand and said, "It's not an illusion." Then he let go of his hand.

Jieyuhua was clearly not convinced. He observed the location of the spring, but there was no water there. Instead, it was just like the dream he had been in before, filled with corpses.

The fish that was pulled from the ground had also turned into a shattered skull, its skull now blackened with Ling Xiao's blood, and would turn to dust if stepped on.

This place is like a dream world, yet different...

Jieyuhua strode over to Ling Xiao's side. At this moment, Ling Xiao's lips were pale, his fingers were covering his bleeding wound, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. The tape on his neck was gone, replaced by dried blood clots twisted on his neck.

Most importantly, his eyes were not clear; they contained too much that Xieyuhua couldn't understand.

Jieyu closed her eyes. Where exactly did things go wrong? Why were Ling Xiao's words and actions the same as in the illusion? Her worst fears had come true. What, then, was real?
