A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

Three consecutive failures made Luo Fan's face even paler.

Kong Lingfei stood nervously at the door, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Calm down! We must calm down!"

Luo Fan closed his eyes, pondering a solution.

The medicinal power of the Rejuvenating Pill must be neutralized.

For this to be achieved, spiritual energy must enter her body and nourish her depleted life force.

But her meridians are so fragile that they can hardly withstand spiritual power. What should we do?

Dual cultivation?

That's a good idea!

Luo Fan glanced at Kong Lingfei out of the corner of his eye.

Given his junior sister's current half-dead state, if he were to cause any more trouble, he feared Kong Lingfei would self-destruct on the spot and fight him to the death.

Therefore, his hardened fist had no choice but to quietly soften.

Suddenly, Luo Fan seemed to have thought of something.

Yes! Yin-Yang Spring!

The yin and yang energies in that spring water can nourish the meridians and pave the way for the efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill!

"Little Green, Little Blue, fetch some from the Yin-Yang Spring, the gentlest and most vibrant part!"

Luo Fan's mind sank into his portable medicine field.

"Yes, Master!"

The two tiny sprites responded and moved.

Soon, they drew out a stream of spring water that exuded a faint warmth and coolness.

Under Luo Fan's control, it appeared above his palm and condensed into a crystal-clear water sphere.

The moment Kong Lingfei saw the spring, he went from tense to stunned.

That is a spiritual spring nurtured by heaven and earth; ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to locate.

Even if it is discovered, it cannot escape the nourishment of the earth's veins.

But the spiritual spring in this kid's hand contained no decrease in yin and yang energy.

How did he do that?!

Could it be...?

What the hell!

Could this kid have refined the five innate spiritual roots and possessed the power of the five innate elements?

Kong Lingfei looked at Luo Fan as if he were looking at a monster.

Luo Fan, however, paid no attention to these things.

He focused intently on guiding the spring water, bringing it into Midozhi's mouth.

The spring water enters the mouth and transforms into a gentle, warm current.

It slid down her parched throat, seeping into the veins throughout her body.

This time, Midozhi's body did not reject the product.

Her nearly dried-up meridians, like parched land receiving timely rain, greedily absorbed the nutrients.

Under the watchful gaze of the Eye of Truth, the cracks on the walls of the Midozhi meridians were slowly healing.

The dry areas were slowly moisturized and unblocked, and became supple and smooth.

Midozhi's slightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

A sliver of color finally returned to her pale face.

efficient!

Luo Fan was overjoyed and focused intently on controlling the flow of the Yin-Yang Spring water.

It allows it to evenly nourish the main meridians throughout the body.

Time passes little by little.

Luo Fan used the Yin-Yang Spring water to nourish and clear the main meridians of the Honey Dew Ganoderma.

Although it is still far from a full recovery, at least it is no longer in the same lifeless state as before.

Feeling that the time was right, Luo Fan once again focused his attention on the Rejuvenation Pill inside her body.

He did not attempt to forcefully catalyze it with spiritual power again.

Instead, it separated a wisp of gentle wood-attribute spiritual energy and wrapped it around the pill in the form of a thread.

Then, the pill was vibrated at an extremely slow frequency.

"Hmm~"

Midozhi let out a soft hum, the weak nasal sound somewhat alluring.

Upon hearing this, Kong Lingfei, who was holding onto the door frame, almost stumbled.

The sound was indeed very similar to his reaction when he and his Daoist partner were exploring the Great Dao.

Luo Fan's eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, knowing that he couldn't afford to be careless at this crucial moment.

At the same time, another stream of water-attribute spiritual energy, infused with the essence of the Yin-Yang Spring, enveloped the pill once more.

The medicine quickly took effect, flowing along the meridians of Midozhi to every part of her body.

Finally, it converges towards the dantian (lower abdomen) and the sea of ​​qi.

As the first wisp of the Rejuvenating Pill's medicinal power entered the meridians, it began to circulate.

Her body trembled slightly, and the life force that had almost disappeared returned to life.

Her eyelashes fluttered once, then again.

Under Luo Fan's tense yet expectant gaze.

Her eyelids, which had been tightly closed for more than ten days, slowly and laboriously opened a crack.

Those once bright and lively eyes now still carried the bewilderment and weakness of someone just waking up.

The pupil focuses the gaze.

Finally, the image settled on the face so close to the bedside.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but no sound came out.

The eyes that were looking at Luo Fan quickly filled with moisture.

"Don't rush, take it slow. You just woke up and are still very weak. Don't talk, just rest."

Luo Fan smiled and placed her hand on his face.

The voice was soft and gentle, seemingly carrying both endless weariness and the joy of regaining what was lost.

Midozhi nodded, and after gathering her strength for a very long time, she managed to squeeze out a few indistinct breaths.

"How...did you...hurt...this fool..."

Although his voice was broken and barely audible, Luo Fan understood.

She was asking him how he got hurt and calling him an idiot.

Luo Fan twitched the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. It'll heal with some rest."

Midozhi didn't speak, she just looked at him.

The bloodstains on his body, his pale face, and the bloodshot eyes all told her something.

What dangers did he face, and what price did he pay to save her?

"You think you're so clever? Where did your usual quick wit go?"

Luo Fan gently tapped her forehead.

She smiled.

After a short while, he seemed to have regained some strength and was no longer struggling to speak.

"I've always been very clever!"

She smiled and said, "You can save my life, but I can't save yours. This is all I can do."

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness, but Luo Fan understood what she was saying.

What this girl was trying to say was that as long as he was still there, nothing would happen to her.

There is hope.

On the contrary, if something happens to him, others may not be able to save him.

I was speechless.

Luo Fan shook his head and chuckled.

Her smile grew even brighter. "That's exactly how it is..."

She paused, then continued, "My master, that simpleton...did he scare you...is he...doing anything to make things difficult for you?"

Kong Lingfei was still basking in the joy of seeing the girl wake up.

Upon hearing this, his excited heart was instantly extinguished.

He stepped forward, raised an eyebrow, and said in an annoyed tone, "This idiot is here!"

"..."

Midozhi's smile froze, then she looked at the slightly dark old face and chuckled awkwardly, "You must have misheard me, believe it or not?"

"I believe it! Why wouldn't I believe it!"

Kong Lingfei grew increasingly annoyed. "You brat, you've only just woken up and you're already showing no respect to your master!"

Old Kong blew his beard and glared.

Midozhi didn't care at all; no one understood her master's temperament better than she did.

He could only feel at ease if she didn't know the rules.

"Brother Xiaofan... is the oldest."

Midozhi mouthed the words.

Although there was no sound, Luo Fan twitched his eye after understanding what was happening.

He seemed to have picked up on some other meaning, but it was unclear whether he was overthinking it.

"Junior sister, you should rest first. I'll come to see you another day."

Midozhi was already weak, and after her spirits relaxed, exhaustion overwhelmed her once again.

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and Luo Fan gradually blurred in her vision.

Before losing consciousness, she used her last bit of strength to hook one of Luo Fan's fingers with her other hand.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Luo Fan remained bent over, feeling the pressure on his fingertips, a smile appearing on his face.

He put her hand back under the covers, tucked the blanket in, and sat quietly by the bed for a while.

Seeing that her life was steadily recovering under the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he stood up.

Luo Fan felt a wave of dizziness, his body swayed, and he almost fell over.

He held onto the edge of the bed, mustered his strength, and followed Kong Lingfei to the courtyard gate.

Outside the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the horizon orange-red.

"Kid, are you alright?"

Kong Lingfei frowned as he looked at Luo Fan, who was in poor condition.

Luo Fan shook his head, "I'll have to trouble the elders to look after my junior sister."

He bowed and turned to leave.

Kong Lingfei watched as his shadow gradually lengthened in the setting sun and sighed inwardly.

I wonder from what dangerous place this kid obtained the Rejuvenation Grass.

The hardships involved are unimaginable.

He had no worries about entrusting his own disciple to him.

On his way back to Danfeng, Luo Fan occasionally encountered a few fellow disciples.

Their gazes toward Luo Fan were filled with surprise, worry, or admiration.

"My God, how did Senior Brother Luo get injured like this?"

"I heard he did it to save his junior sister!"

"It must have been a fierce battle. Senior Brother Luo is truly loyal and righteous!"

Zhao Mang, Wang Zhong, Li Huan, Zhang Tie, and several others were also in the crowd.

Just as the three were about to step forward, Li Huan stopped them.

He shook his head. "Don't bother my senior brother. He wouldn't want us to see him in such a sorry state."

Finally, the three of them stopped.

Only Li Huan understood that instead of offering useless words of concern, it would be better to let Senior Brother Luo heal his injuries as soon as possible.

Fifteen minutes later.

Luo Fan saw the familiar scenery of Danfeng, and he saw the gate of his own courtyard.

He pushed open the courtyard gate with great joy.

"Gagaga..."

Several ducks flew out, and one of them stepped on his head.

puff!

Luo Fan spat out the duck feathers from his mouth, his face full of confusion.

What's going on?!

No matter how desolate his Danfeng is, it doesn't deserve to be turned into a duck farm, does it?

This isn't the Monkey King's palace, is it?
