Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 41 Centrifugation
Li Yunlong's eyes shifted several times, and hatred flashed through his heart at that moment. This woman had brought danger to his side. He had been corrupted by the black mist, and all she wanted was the Heavenly Nether Pearl. She didn't even offer to help him up, nor did she say a word of concern.

Li Yunlong looked at the several corpses lying on the ground. They... they all seemed to have taken the blame for Gu Yufei. Two of them were even pushed out by Gu Yufei herself!
Gu Shihan walked around and tossed a small jade bottle to Li Yunlong, "Take this and transfer the medicine to the affected areas; there might still be hope!"

Hope rose in Li Yunlong's eyes, while Gu Yufei reached out to grab the jade bottle. A voice in her heart told her that the thing was a treasure.

Gu Shihan's eyes flashed with anger, and she unleashed a burst of energy at Gu Yufei's outstretched hand, causing the jade bottle to land safely in Li Yunlong's hand.

"Thank you!" Li Yunlong tilted his head back and swallowed the contents of the jade bottle, a warm sensation dispelling the chill in his body.

"Brother Yunlong, how can you eat food from strangers? Let me check for you." Gu Yufei stared longingly at the jade bottle in Li Yunlong's hand.

Li Yunlong looked up at Gu Yufei, "Yufei, do you still have a Vitality Pill? Can I use it? I feel like I'm not feeling well!"

Gu Yufei was stunned, and involuntarily took a few steps back, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Yunlong, I've used up the pills. I'll give them to you next time I find some!"

Li Yunlong's eyes turned cold. Just two days ago, he saw that Gu Yufei still had a Life-Giving Pill. These past two days, the group had been protecting her well, so she didn't need the Life-Giving Pill at all.

That's true. Even though Lei Luo was corrupted while saving her, she still didn't take out the Vitality Pill to save him.

Li Yunlong concealed the disappointment in his eyes. Only then did he realize how he had once fawned over her. Was it really because of his seduction techniques?
Leaving aside Li Yunlong's dilemma, Gu Shihan on the other side ignored Li Yunlong and Gu Yufei and helped the others clear away the surrounding black fog.

Lu Yue glanced at Gu Shihan, who was helping him, and then at Gu Yufei, who was sitting peacefully to the side. A hint of resentment seemed to flash through his mind.

They are not having an easy time right now; the chill in their bodies is tormenting them, making their movements a bit sluggish.

The people they protected were completely unharmed and remained as elegant as ever; she seemed indifferent to their fates.

As Lu Yue thought of this, a fleeting look of unease crossed his eyes.

The black mist dissipated amidst screams, and several Heavenly Nether Pearls fell to the ground.

Gu Yufei quickly ran towards the Heavenly Nether Pearl, picked up one, and put it into her storage bracelet.

"This Fairy Gu, you didn't lift a finger, hand over the Heavenly Nether Pearl!" Gu Shihan had no intention of indulging this so-called mistress, and said coldly.

With teary eyes, Gu Yufei looked at Lu Yue and the others and whispered, "Brother Yue, look how fierce she is to Yufei! You...you have to stand up for Yufei! Yufei just wanted to keep it for you, otherwise...otherwise she would have taken it all. You all helped, didn't you?"

Gu Shihan sighed and crushed a Qingling Pill. Xingbai helped by sending the powder into the noses of the group.

Lu Yue felt his restless heart calm down considerably, and the pity that Gu Yufei had stirred up in him faded a lot.

Lu Yue pulled Tang Changsheng aside and walked towards Li Yunlong, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn't know why he had two completely different ideas.

"Hanhan, that person over there is still alive, should we save him?" Xingbai's words stunned Gu Shihan. This person is still alive?!
Gu Shihan had no time to pay attention to them anymore. She quickly went to Song Ji's side, took his pulse, and confirmed that he was still alive.

However, he had been corroded by the black mist for quite some time. He was still alive because he wore a Buddhist rosary on his hand, which seemed to have slowed down the black mist's corrosive effects. Gu Shihan no longer hesitated and took out the jade bottle to feed Song Ji three drops of the Elixir of Life.

He placed his hands in a mudra on Song Ji's chest, and slowly channeled spiritual energy into it, which also contained a trace of merit.

Soon, a faint black mist began to emanate from Song Ji's body, and his complexion improved slightly.

"What are you doing? Brother Song is dead, and you still want to molest his body, you lewd woman!" Gu Yufei saw Gu Shihan's actions and rushed over to stop her.

"Shut up! Get away from me! Who do you think you are? Pushing people aside to shield them from disaster, not providing immediate medical attention but just spouting nonsense here, you're disgusting! Don't you know how he ended up like this?!" Gu Shihan said coldly.

Gu Shihhan's words brought joy to Li Yun and the others. Lu Yue asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that Brother Song can still be saved? That's wonderful!"

"What's so good about it? Brother Song is already like this. If he can't cultivate even after being saved, it's better for him to be dead!" Gu Yufei pouted.

"Gu Yufei, I, Li Yunlong, only met you today. I never expected you to be such a cold-hearted and ruthless person. Was all your kindness just an act?! From now on, I, Li Yunlong, sever all ties with you!"

"Brother Yunlong, how...how could you say that to Yufei? You are all my good brothers, Yufei can't live without you, sob..."

Gu Yufei started to sob, and Gu Liufeng and Gu Jianping quickly stepped in to protect her, gently comforting her.

Hearing Gu Yufei's cries, Li Yunlong felt a pang of pain in his heart. He turned to look at his left foot, which had barely regained sensation, and his heart hardened. He turned cold and remained silent.

Gu Shihan glanced at Li Yunlong, Lu Yue, and Tang Changsheng who had come closer, and signaled Xingbai to set up a transparent barrier to ensure that their words would not be heard by the three members of the Gu family.

Xingbai distributed the Qingling Pills to the three of them. Gu Shihan said, "You can't beat Gu Yufei. These pills will prevent you from being affected by her charms again for ten days and losing your lives."

"Her...her charm?! We...I was all charmed by her? And...were the others who were with her also charmed?" Lu Yue stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Hmm, do you have a triangular brownish-red mark on your body?" Gu Shihan asked.

Lu Yue and the others exchanged glances, nodded silently, their faces ashen.

"Fellow Daoist, is there a solution?!" Tang Changsheng asked anxiously.

Most cultivators are actually resolute; if they know something is harmful to them, they will remove the harmful factor immediately.

"Yes! But it can't be removed right now. That thing is a bewitching shadow she planted for you. With her around, the bewitching shadow can't be removed and will move to other locations, which would be troublesome."

"Fellow Daoist! Please save us!" Lu Yue took the Qingling Pill and swallowed it, his lingering feelings for Gu Yufei fading considerably.

Li Yun and Tang Changsheng did not hesitate and took the pills. Xingbai pried open Song Ji's mouth and fed him one as well.
