A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Prince An continued to say to Duke Ling, "Didn't you just ask me who said the child was stolen?"

Then let me tell you, it was the current emperor who sent me here with my troops.

You and Lü Qingchen, you can expect to be brought to justice!

Duke Ling felt dizzy and slumped down in the chair next to Lü Qingchen.

Less than a day has passed since last night, how did things turn out like this?

An Chang found it strange to hear the voices of Duke Ling and Lü Qingchen.

How long have I been gone? What illness have these two contracted?

He whispered to Zhou Ruo, "Ruo Ruo, what did you do to them?"

Zhou Ruo told An Chang about the tricks he had done to Lü Qingchen's formation.

After hearing this, An Chang couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, "So men can make this kind of sound without castration."

After a moment's pause, the Duke of Ling thought of his younger sister, Consort Ling.

A glimmer of hope flashed through my mind.

He struggled to say, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but Master Lü and I are here to refine the Elixir of Immortality for the Emperor."

Since the Imperial Advisor was punished, the Emperor's elixir of immortality has been cut off. Everything I've done, by any means necessary, is for the Emperor's sake!

Duke Ling felt that his reasoning would surely convince Prince An.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruo then asked, "Is your elixir of immortality still drinkable?"

Duke Ling was taken aback again. "Why can't I drink it? My urinary tract infection was cured by this longevity water."

Zhou Ruo chuckled, "Uncle, do you want the Emperor to speak in a voice like yours from now on?"

"My voice... what's wrong with my voice? I'm just feeling a bit unwell, my throat's inflamed!"

Zhao Jinzhong found Duke Ling's statement amusing. "Duke Ling, it's quite a coincidence that you and Daoist Lü both have sore throats."

It wasn't until Zhao Jinzhong uttered those words that Lü Qingchen and the Duke of Ling realized what was happening.

The sudden change in their voices was most likely caused by the "elixir of immortality".

Just as Duke Ling was hesitating about whether there was a problem with the Longevity Water, An Chang added fuel to the fire:

"Duke Ling, your voice has become like this after you drank the Elixir of Immortality, and you still say that this Elixir of Immortality was made for the Emperor."

Are you perhaps plotting to harm the Emperor?

An Chang's words made the Duke of Ling tremble all over, and he knelt down with a thud: "Injustice! This old minister is innocent!"

This old minister has absolutely no intention of framing His Majesty!

An Chang glanced at him: "Who knows? Didn't you try to harm Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong to save your son?"

Duke Ling was speechless for a moment, and Lü Qingchen was even more confused, wondering how her longevity water could have gone wrong.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Prince An summoned his soldiers: "Men, seize the Duke of Ling and the Taoist priest and escort them back to the capital!"

Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang brought the remaining children from the alchemy room to Yunxu Temple to receive treatment alongside the other children.

When the group returned to Yunxu Temple, they had already finished drinking the Pure Yang Water.

Zhou Ruo then went to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion for a look.

"Huh? Why has the Pure Yang Pill dropped to eighty spirit stones per pill?"

Zhou Ruo didn't understand what had happened. In just three or four days, the price of the Pure Yang Pill had dropped from one thousand spirit stones to eighty spirit stones.

She found it strange and told Zhao Jinzhong about the price reduction of the Pure Yang Pill.

She wanted her brother to explain the reason.

After hearing this, Zhao Jinzhong said, "It's possible that the shop selling Chunyang Pills is having a promotion."

Since they're offering such a low price, Ruoruo, why don't you buy more? If you don't have enough money, your brother has some here.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruo suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is!"

That Xianbao Pavilion is pretty good; they even have promotions! And the prices are so much lower during the promotions!

So Zhou Ruo exchanged all one hundred Pure Yang Pills from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in one go.

Her idea was that she could give the Emperor the food that the children in Yunxu Temple couldn't finish.

The elixir of immortality that the emperor used to take was not as effective as the Pure Yang Elixir!

After Zhou Ruo took all the Pure Yang Pills, the alchemy sect in the cultivation world received eight hundred spirit stones.

The Alchemy Sect was thrown into turmoil.

The head of the table exclaimed, "Just as I thought! The previous pricing was definitely too high!"

The head accountant was displeased and complained to the head of the household:

"Chief, in the past, we've always charged each sect at least one hundred spirit stones!"

Moreover, this time the entire sect mobilized to collect immortal herbs and worked through the night to produce these one hundred Pure Yang Pills.

I originally planned to rely on these one hundred Pure Yang Pills to live a peaceful life for three years, but...

The chief was optimistic: "Small profits but quick turnover! Previously, the other party was willing to accept a thousand spirit stones for a single Pure Yang Pill."

This is enough to show that the other party has a certain amount of financial resources.

Perhaps she's encountered some difficulties this time. Let's do her a favor first, and then raise the price later.

"Besides, we got back a hundred spirit stones for Pure Yang Pills this time, so it's not a loss!"

"In the past, we could only produce about twenty Pure Yang Pills a year, right?"

Hearing the head of the household say this, the accounting manager had no choice but to remain silent, thinking to himself, "Your Immortal Treasure Pavilion had better place more orders!"

Inside Yunxu Temple, after Zhou Ruo obtained enough Pure Yang Pills, she handed them over to Daoist Yunxu to give to the children in several doses.

Three days later, all thirty children in Yunxu Temple had recovered.

Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang sent people to safely return the children to their respective orphanages.

In each of the orphanages where children were lost, at least one person colluded with Yu Zhong to steal children.

An Chang and Zhao Jinzhong exposed all these utterly depraved individuals and handed them over to the Dali Temple for processing.

Even if these people are spared the death penalty, they will still be punished.

It all depends on the Empress Dowager's mood.

Duke Ling and Lü Qingchen were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail by Prince An.

Prince An brought back the Longevity Water that Lü Qingchen had not yet successfully refined and presented it to the Emperor.

On this day, the Emperor specially invited Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong to the palace to inquire about the matter of the Elixir of Immortality.

The Emperor has learned from the Dowager Consort that Lu Qingchen's Elixir of Immortality requires the yang energy of a young boy to be refined.

Zhou Ruo told the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this 'Longevity Water' is no longer the 'Longevity Water'! It's more like the 'Shortening Water' now."

The Emperor asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, Anning?"

"Your Majesty, please have someone bring a rooster, the fiercer the better!"

Zhou Ruo smiled and said to the Emperor, looking quite shrewd.

The emperor was taken aback. Why would he let a rooster into the imperial study?

Which rooster is so lucky?

Despite his doubts, the Emperor still ordered someone to quickly catch a rooster, put it in a cage, and bring it into the Imperial Study.

This rooster is very proud and proud, and it crows every now and then.

It pecked fiercely at the iron cage with its sharp beak, looking very proud.

Zhou Ruo pointed at the chicken in the cage and said, "Your Majesty, let it drink Master Lü's longevity water."

The emperor instructed his servants to do as he was told.

Less than fifteen minutes after the rooster drank half a bowl of the longevity water, something miraculous happened.

The rooster, which had been full of energy and crowing loudly just moments before, suddenly had its comb droop.

Its cries became hoarse, and it almost couldn't make a sound at all.

The chicken was listless, tucked its claws in, and squatted in the cage, looking dejected.
