Rebirth of Jinxuan

Before she could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly looked towards the entrance to the basement.

"Someone's coming..."

Before Lu Jinxuan could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the underground parking garage.

Qingfeng rushed in first, his face filled with barely concealed excitement. "Muxu, guess what? I just checked some ancient texts and discovered that this pill is actually..." He paused, lowered his voice, and whispered mysteriously in Muxu's ear, "...a breakthrough pill used by Spirit Kings when they try to break through to Spirit Emperor!"

Muwei gasped, her hands trembling as she took the jade bottle containing the four-star pills, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, and carefully put it into her bosom.

Lu Jinxuan swallowed two recovery pills, her complexion improved slightly, but she still looked a little tired.

Seeing this, Qingfeng couldn't help but move closer to Muwei and ask in a low voice, "Brother Mu, what she just ate was... a Spirit Recovery Pill?" Muwei glanced at him and coughed mysteriously, "More than just a Spirit Recovery Pill, it was a top-grade four-star Spirit Recovery Pill. One pill is equivalent to ten batches that you and I have worked hard to refine!" Qingfeng gasped. Top-grade four-star!

He had been studying diligently for decades, but still hadn't been able to refine a four-star elixir. Yet this woman had swallowed it so casually, as if it were just an ordinary sugar pill.

"Who...who exactly is she?" Qingfeng murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on Lu Jinxuan.

Mu Wei smiled mysteriously: "Who knows? But I bet the last one she's refining is... a five-star one!"

"Five...five-star?!" Qingfeng's voice trembled slightly. Five-star pills were legendary!

At this moment, Lu Jinxuan sat cross-legged, her hands forming a mudra, and the flames inside the alchemy furnace burned fiercely, filling the air with a rich medicinal fragrance.

Lu Yuhang stood quietly by his side, his eyes filled with admiration and worry.

"Sigh, I should have known better than to agree to refine five-star pills." Qingfeng sighed regretfully. "The process of refining five-star pills is extremely complicated and takes too long. What if His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly arrives? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"Wait a little longer, it'll be done soon." Lu Jinxuan's voice trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The flames inside the alchemy furnace grew ever stronger, as if they were about to devour the entire underground vault.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from above the basement…

Inside the basement, the heavy footsteps grew closer, pounding against everyone's hearts like drumbeats.

Muwei's expression changed, and he cursed under his breath, "What I feared most has come to pass! This is terrible, I haven't even hidden the gift I picked out for Yuhang yet!" Seeing this, Qingfeng quickly pushed him, "Go, go, hold them off!" Muwei hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the underground parking garage, and Mo Chenfan, feeling uneasy, followed him.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Mu Xu and Mo Chenfan bowed respectfully as Crown Prince Hua Chen, dressed in brocade robes, entered with a smile.

"Well, have you chosen a gift yet?" He asked gently, but his gaze swept around the basement before finally settling on Lu Jinxuan, who was refining pills.

Muwei quickly laughed it off: "Your Highness, there are too many things, and we haven't chosen yet. You see..." As he spoke, he frantically gave Mo Chenfan meaningful glances.

Mo Chenfan understood immediately and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while? We'll report back to you once we've made our selection."

Crown Prince Hua Chen smiled and said, "Very well, then you may continue." He waved his hand, and the guards behind him withdrew.

The basement entrance closed again, and Muwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, she found Aixi looking at them with a resentful expression: "Why did you leave me here alone? What if His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"How could His Highness the Crown Prince..." Mu Wei was about to retort when she suddenly noticed that Crown Prince Hua Chen's expression was a little strange.

His smile was stiff, and his eyes were vacant, as if they had lost focus.

"Your Highness?" Mo Chenfan called out tentatively, but there was no response.

“I used some illusion magic on him,” Ai Xi said casually, with a hint of smugness in her tone.

"What?!" Muwei and Mo Chenfan exclaimed in unison.

"He just tried to eat me, so I had no choice but to..." Ai Xi shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"Illusion? What kind of illusion did you use to control His Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Wei looked incredulous. In his opinion, Crown Prince Hua Chen's cultivation was unfathomable, and ordinary illusions could not possibly work on him.

“You wouldn’t know this,” Ai Xi said smugly, raising her chin. “I am a member of the Illusion Demon Clan…” She went on and on explaining her illusion techniques, completely unaware of Mo Chenfan’s increasingly serious expression.

“Ai Xi,” Mo Chenfan suddenly interrupted her, “Are you sure the illusion you used was just a regular illusion?” Ai Xi waved her hand impatiently, “Oh dear, old man Mu, what do you know? The illusions of the Illusion Demon Clan are…” She suddenly stopped, her face turning pale, “Oh no…”

Before Ai Xi could finish speaking, her face changed drastically, turning ashen white.

"Oh no! I...I drank too much, and I couldn't control my spiritual power. That illusion...it was much more powerful than I imagined!" She bit her lip, her voice trembling. "After it's broken...he might..."

"What will happen?!" Muwei's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart.

"You might... become stupid." Ai Xi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet it exploded in Mu Wei's ears like a thunderclap.

"Stupid...stupid?!" Mu Xu's vision went black, and he almost lost his balance.

If the crown prince becomes mentally unstable, their relationship with the royal family will be completely ruined!

This is no joke!

Just then, another burst of noisy footsteps came from above the basement, mixed with shouts from the guards.

"What happened? Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Mu Wei's face grew even uglier, and he grabbed Ai Xi's arm: "Quick! Think of something!"

Ai Xi seemed frozen in shock, standing there dumbfounded, muttering to herself, "It's all over...it's all over..."

"Old man Mu, what should we do?" Mo Chenfan's tone was also a little flustered. He had never encountered such a tricky situation before.

Muwei gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm: "Don't panic! Hide the Crown Prince first!"

"Hide? Where can I hide?" Mo Chenfan looked around. The basement was completely empty, with nowhere to hide.

Muwei's gaze fell on the corner where Lu Jinxuan was, where there was a heavy stone door that seemed to lead to another secret room.

"Just...just hide him there!" He pointed to the stone gate, his voice urgent. "Quick! Quickly, get the Crown Prince..."

Before he could finish speaking, the stone door slowly opened, and Lu Jinxuan appeared behind it, holding a pill that emitted a five-colored light in her hand, with a faint smile on her face: "It's ready."

Ai Xi looked aggrieved, rubbed her arm, and rolled her eyes at Mu Wei: "What do you mean I did anything to him? It was him who wanted to do something to me! This prince is blinded by lust. He started touching me as soon as he came in, and even said he wanted to taste the flavor of the demon race. If I hadn't used illusion magic, I don't know what he would have done to me by now!"

Mu Wei's eyes widened in disbelief: "Your Highness... Your Highness is so absurd?!" He turned to look at Mo Chenfan, wanting to get confirmation from him, but saw that Mo Chenfan also had a solemn expression, obviously Ai Xi's words were not unfounded.

"The illusion magic of the Illusion Demon Clan... is it really that powerful?" Mu Xu still found it hard to accept the fact that the dignified Crown Prince could be controlled by an illusion magic of a demon woman.

"Old man Mu, what do you know? The illusion magic of the Illusion Demon Clan is..." Ai Xi was about to boast when her expression suddenly changed, and her voice lowered, "Oh no..."

"What's wrong?" Muwei and Mo Chenfan asked in unison.

Ai Xi bit her lip, her face as pale as paper: "I...I drank too much, and I didn't control my spiritual power well. That illusion...was much more powerful than I imagined!"

"Much more powerful? What do you mean?" Muwei's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart.

"After he's untied... he might..." Ai Xi's voice was barely audible, yet it exploded in Mu Wei's ears like a thunderclap.

"What will happen?!"

"Maybe... stupid."

Just then, another burst of noisy footsteps came from above the basement, mixed with shouts from guards: "What's going on? Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What should we do?" Mo Chenfan's tone was also tinged with panic.

Mu Wei gritted his teeth, his gaze falling on the pill in Lu Jinxuan's hand. A bold idea suddenly popped into his head: "Perhaps... there's still a chance..." He snatched the pill from Lu Jinxuan's hand, his voice urgent, "Ai Xi, come here!"

Ai Xi stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Do as I say..." Muwei whispered his plan into Aixi's ear.

Ai Xi's eyes gradually brightened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face: "This...this can work?"

Mu Wei didn't answer, but nodded firmly, then turned to Lu Jinxuan and said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, we need your help..."

Lu Jinxuan looked at the pill radiating multicolored light in Mu Wei's hand, then glanced at Mo Chenfan and Ai Xi, who both looked tense. She had a vague feeling that an even bigger storm was about to break...
