I think my luck is turning around.

For reasons unknown, Song Tianqing actually took out a lollipop and handed it to An Ge. An Ge was a little surprised when she saw it, but only for a short time. She took it, tore off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth. It was green apple flavored, a very pleasant surprise in this environment.

These are Song Tianqing's test samples. Now that the taste is certain, let's make a few more. After all, Song Tianqing used to be a big fan of lollipops, but now that he doesn't have the means, he can only make the flavors he likes himself.

Seeing that the people Shi San and the others had arrived, Yang Tang anxiously walked up to Shi San and asked, "Is everything ready? Can we set off now?"

Yang Tang's urgency was understandable. Shi San glanced at Song Tianqing and then nodded. Mainly, Ji Xia had already agreed; now it was just a matter of quickly getting things to a certain point so that things could develop logically afterward.

After boarding the carriage, they arrived at the Yang residence in just half an hour. Shi San and his party were led into the inner courtyard. Upon entering the old lady's room, they could smell a strong medicinal aroma, indicating that the old lady had suffered a lot of grievances these past few days.

Yang Tang hurried to the bedside, knelt beside his mother, and called out very carefully, "Mother, Mother, I have brought back an immortal who can cure your illness!"

His tone was full of pleading; he wanted his mother to wake up and get better. How could she have fallen ill in just a few years?

At this moment, among the people standing behind Shi San, Lin Jingqing and Song Tianqing both frowned. Was this matter really that simple? Absolutely not.

The smell of medicine in the air was enough to tell something was wrong. Lin Jingqing's reaction was instinctive, but Song Tianqing, as a pill cultivator, could directly smell the various ingredients. He just tilted his head and looked at the old woman's face. If this old woman were in the hands of an ordinary person, she would be doomed. She could only rely on this pill to prolong her life.

However, whether the pill would be effective in her body was uncertain; not just any pill could be taken indiscriminately, lest her body couldn't withstand it and she died instantly. Then Song Tianqing took out a box and handed it to Ji Xia, "This is for transition. If she takes this directly, she might die instantly! Taking this can help, making the medicine more effective."

This is Song Tianqing's way of rescuing those small animals. At the farm at the foot of the mountain, Song Tianqing often rescues small animals, but the pills are very potent, and many small animals' bodies cannot withstand them. So Song Tianqing developed a transitional medicine to ensure that these potent pills can take effect in their bodies.

Ji Xia understood, and simply took a step forward, saying directly, "Eat this. The cultivator said that your mother is weak, and she probably won't be able to withstand taking the pill directly. This medicine will allow the pill to achieve the desired effect."

As she spoke, Ji Xia opened the box, took out a pill, and handed it to Yang Tang. Yang Tang felt as if he had found a treasure. He carefully took it and put it into his mother's mouth. The medicine dissolved quickly in her mouth, and the bitter taste was lessened.

Then Ji Xia took another pill and placed it in Yang Tang's hand. After taking the pill, Yang Tang's mother coughed violently a few times, coughing up a clump of black blood, and then gasped for breath.

Yang Tang looked at her mother with worry in her eyes. At this moment, Shi San heard a voice and repeated it, "The medicine has been taken. It's just that there will be no taste in your mouth for a while, but there's nothing else to worry about."

After speaking, Shi San knew whose voice it was—Song Tianqing's. As a member of the Near Heaven Sect, she was much stronger than Lin Jingqing, having undergone many years of cultivation, unlike Lin Jingqing who had only cultivated for a few years.

Yang Tang was already sobbing uncontrollably, kowtowing several times in a row, which startled Shi San, who quickly pulled away. Ji Xia also swiftly scooped Yang Tang up; such an action was truly frightening.

“My family’s cultivators do not accept such formalities; they only need to be grateful.”
