"Next, all we need to do is overcome the crisis at the Temple of Medicine God, and we'll be able to complete the mission!"

After stretching her limbs, Ye Qingge stood up from the cold jade ice bed.

An hour had passed since the formation collapsed. After escaping the formation's range, they arrived at the Medicine God Temple's territory in half an hour.

The Third Prince had already taken his leave shortly after leaving the formation's range.

At the bedroom door, a maid entered the bedroom, bowed respectfully from behind the screen, and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial carriage has entered the area of ​​the Medicine God Temple and will arrive at the Medicine God Temple within ten minutes at most."

"I understand."

Ye Qingge's voice was cold and aloof.

Leaving the bedroom and arriving at the entrance of the imperial carriage, a temple built on the foundation of a canyon came into view not far ahead.

Unlike the luxurious Three Princes Temple, the Medicine God Temple, built on the foundation of the valley, appears more simple and unadorned, blending into the valley as one. Many parts of it are integrated with the caves in the valley, giving people a sense of following the natural way.

Upon seeing the imperial carriage arrive, several disciples from the palace flew out of the valley.

One of the women, dressed in white robes, flew forward and respectfully said, "Ji Ziwei, disciple of the Medicine God, greets Emperor Kaihuang. My master is already aware of Your Majesty's arrival. Please come with me, Your Majesty."

Ye Qingge nodded slightly, took the spatial jade bracelet from the tray of a maid behind her, which was prepared as a gift for the God of Medicine, and said, "I can go by myself this time. You all keep an eye on the imperial carriage."

The maid was slightly taken aback, but did not ask any further questions and respectfully agreed.

Ye Qingge strode away.

Several disciples behind the woman in white robes stepped forward and guided the imperial carriage to a suitable location to park. Ji Ziwei walked in front of Ye Qingge, leading the way and introducing the surrounding area as she went.

Before long, the two arrived at the largest temple in the valley, where the Medicine God was sitting in the center.

The Medicine God before them appeared extremely young, looking like a young man in his early twenties. His face was fair and clean-shaven, with white hair swaying in the wind. He wore a white robe similar to Ji Ziwei's, and next to him was an incense burner, from which a faint fragrance wafted, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly air.

Upon seeing the God of Medicine, Ye Qingge immediately heard the Empress's voice in her mind: "Something's not right with this God of Medicine!"

Ye Qingge asked with interest, "How do you know?"

The Empress's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "The Medicine God was born as a demigod and inherited the bloodline of the Earth Mother, possessing extremely strong vitality. His bloodline has an inherently strong healing effect. After practicing cultivation techniques, he further enhanced this to the limit. Although his cultivation level is not high, only at the third level of the Dao Realm, his vitality ranks among the top three of all acquired beings."

"Even more powerful than when I was at my peak!"

"But this Medicine God in front of me, although he exudes a strong life force, is different from the one I saw before. He seems to be weak inside and out... We need to be careful."

The Empress had a strong intuition and sensed that something was wrong with the God of Medicine, so she instinctively gave him a warning.

Ye Qingge smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty's perception is correct, but the Medicine God's condition is much more serious than Your Majesty predicted."

"The God of Medicine is dead!"

The Empress was greatly alarmed

Before she could ask any further questions, the "Medicine God" opened his eyes. Upon seeing Ye Qingge's arrival, he stood up and gave a slight bow, saying, "Pharmacist Zhuang Yushu greets Emperor Kaihuang. I have already learned about His Majesty's condition from his previous letter. Now that you are here, why not come into the hall and discuss the details?"

Ye Qingge smiled slightly: "The God of Medicine practices the way of medicine and stone, saving hundreds of millions of lives. His merits have moved the heavens. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to him. There is no need for such formalities."

"However, my body is already severely injured and on the verge of death. Reaching this point is my limit. Why don't you come out of the palace and have a detailed discussion with me, Medicine God?"

As she spoke, she coughed lightly twice, her face as pale as paper, as if she were truly terminally ill, and she never stepped into the main hall.

The "Medicine God's" expression stiffened slightly, then he glanced at Ji Ziwei and said solemnly, "Your Majesty's condition is serious and cannot be delayed any longer. There is incense in the palace to alleviate the condition. If Your Majesty has difficulty walking, you may ask your unworthy disciple to help you."

Ji Ziwei understood immediately and stepped forward to help Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge subtly shifted her body to the side, avoiding Ji Ziwei's support, her face even paler: "My injuries have flared up again, and I should not move. I have long heard that the Medicine God has a kind reputation, so I suppose he wouldn't make things difficult for a patient."

The "Medicine God's" expression softened slightly: "Although I am proficient in medicine, my abilities are limited. If Your Majesty does not enter the palace, I will be unable to diagnose the symptoms and prescribe the right medicine for Your Majesty... She has already discovered our plan!"

As the last sentence fell, the aura emanating from the once vibrant "Medicine God" suddenly shifted, transforming into endless chilling energy.

The Medicine God, who had originally appeared as a normal human, underwent a transformation. Large patches of deep, dark color appeared on his body, his pupils turned completely black, and his white hair turned deep black. Black mist spread from his body, reaching the walls on both sides of the temple, forming a demonic image with fangs and bull horns behind the Medicine God.

It opened its massive jaws and let out a hoarse, piercing roar: "Kill her!"

boom

Centered on the Medicine God, large swaths of black demonic energy floated out and covered the valley.

The entire main hall, and even the valley temple, underwent a complete reversal. The once vibrant valley, filled with the fragrance of herbs, suddenly became a cold and desolate place, and the fragrance of herbs quickly transformed into a damp and gloomy atmosphere.

Ji Ziwei behind her also changed drastically. The tall, elegant white-robed fairy suddenly transformed into a female corpse exuding a cold aura. Her face was dark, and she emanated a strong sense of malice as she locked onto Ye Qingge.

The next moment, Ji Ziwei made a sudden move, her hands covered in Yin energy as she attacked Ye Qingge. Her hands pierced through Ye Qingge's back and gripped her abdomen.

A crisp sound of something breaking rang out, and Ye Qingge's body vanished with the wind, leaving only the space bracelet that Ye Qingge had been holding. It had broken in the middle and shattered into two halves, from which a large number of prepared spiritual plants and treasures fell out and quickly piled up into a small mountain.

Ji Ziwei was stunned.

"She's up in the main hall! Kill her!"

The "Medicine God" spoke in a shrill voice, letting out a roar.

Ji Ziwei looked up and saw that Ye Qingge had appeared at the main temple where the God of Medicine was located. She pointed her beautiful sword at a dark black bead in the hall and thrust it down.

This bead is what traps the Medicine God, and it is also the core source of power within the Medicine God's Temple.

All of this happened too fast and too suddenly. Before Ji Ziwei could even move, Ye Qingge's sword had already pierced the black bead.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and fine cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the bead. In just a few breaths, it exploded and shattered into countless fragments that dissipated into the air.

The black demonic energy throughout the valley suddenly lost its source and began to slowly dissipate. The disciples, tainted by the black demonic energy, struggled and screamed frantically, but they could not stop the loss of the black energy. In the end, they turned into dried corpses and died on the ground.

Even the God of Medicine within the temple was not spared.

The black demonic energy on his body and inside the temple dissipated rapidly, as if he had encountered his own death. The "Medicine God" struggled frantically, but could not take a single step out of the temple.

After a few breaths, the black aura on his body dissipated completely, leaving only a dried corpse in the same spot.

"Is all of this finally... over?"

Ye Qingge glanced at the system panel, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

[Surviving the Crisis: 3/3]

After ninety-nine failures, he finally succeeded on the hundredth attempt, which was also the last chance given by the system.

Just as the system panel flashed, signaling that the crisis had passed...

Ye Qingge felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and her consciousness gradually left Empress Yang Zhao's body, returning to reality.

The Empress stood blankly atop the temple for a long while before she came to her senses. She touched her cheek, feeling the familiar touch, and murmured softly, "Qing, are you gone?"

no respond

The Empress felt a mix of emotions. She was unaware of Ye Qingge's ninety-nine repeated experiences, and the time she had spent with Ye Qingge was only less than a day.

In less than a day, she was saved several times. Honestly, even the Empress couldn't guarantee she would survive in such a situation.

She was torn between being angry that Ye Qingge was controlling her body and being reluctant to let Ye Qingge go.

Shaking her head to suppress her emotions, she looked at the scene in the valley.

The black demonic energy dissipated, leaving behind a scene of ruins. Many halls built in the valley collapsed, and disciples, and even the God of Medicine, were turned into mummies.

The Empress couldn't help but rub her temples: "You left so easily, but you've left me with a mess."

"However... I will remember the name Qing!"

Chapter 7 Supernatural Events

[Host has completed the emergency mission and has received the following rewards: System officially launched, Hongmeng Dao Canon (modified), 1000 points]

[System is booting up... Booting successful]

[System officially launched with the following features enabled: Automatic cultivation (automatically enters cultivation state when switching bodies), and a second swap location]

[Based on the host's experience when possessing the Empress, an exchange list has been automatically generated.]

6 a.m.

As soon as Ye Qingge's consciousness returned to reality, she saw a series of system messages flashing before her eyes.

The cultivation technique of the Empress, the Primordial Dao Scripture, also quickly flooded into Ye Qingge's mind, as if it were engraved into her soul, making it difficult to forget.

The Empress's world of cultivation techniques and realms differs from the Xianxia world she inhabits, so the Hongmeng Dao Canon is a modified version.

After absorbing the cultivation technique, Ye Qingge came back to her senses and focused her attention on the new functions of the system after it was officially launched.

The two new features are easy to understand. The first is automatic cultivation, which means that after entering the body swap, Ye Qingge's original body will automatically enter a cultivation state. Before that, when Ye Qingge possessed the Empress, her original body would only enter a sleeping state.

The second swap location... Ye Qingge clicked on the body swap page.

The first option is that the Empress's possession has entered a 24-hour cooldown period, and it will take until this time the next day to possess the Empress's body again. The second option is a blank page.

"Possessing the Empress once, no matter how long one spends in the Empress's world during possession, it only consumes eight hours in reality. I have to go to school soon, so it seems I can't research this swapped position for the time being. I can only wait until tonight to see what happens."

"And then there's the Empress's situation. She was teleported back immediately after completing the mission. We don't know how the timeline will change when we enter her body again—whether it's a fixed past time, synchronized with reality, or something else entirely. The system doesn't offer any explanation; we'll have to explore it ourselves. If it's synchronized with reality, and the Empress has perished for some reason… then it would be a huge loss!"

"It just so happens that today is Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend. After finding the second possession target tonight, let's go straight to check on the Empress's situation!"

Ye Qingge pondered for a moment, then looked at the exchange list.

Finding new exchange partners and mastering cultivation techniques would take too much time, and Ye Qingge couldn't afford to delay, so she had to study the exchange list first.

[1. Spirit Marrow Pill: 1000 points]

2. Phoenix Elixir: 1000 points

……

[15. Five Elements Divine Powers, First Level, Fire Element Divine Power Chapter: 600 points]

[16. Five Elements Divine Powers, First Level, Earth Element Divine Power Chapter: 600 points]

【17. Five Elemental Divine Powers…】

【…】

The items in the list are all things that Ye Qingge saw and heard during her hundred possessions of the Empress, and have been carefully selected so that they can be purchased with her current points.

Next to the list was an option to cancel the selection, but when Ye Qingge saw the complete version of the Five Elements Divine Power worth millions of points, she decisively checked the selection button and carefully checked the items she could exchange for.

After careful consideration, Ye Qingge finally chose the Fire Element Divine Power Chapter and two Spirit Absorption Pills worth two hundred points each.

"The Spirit Absorption Pill can help cultivators refine spiritual energy and purify their aptitude. The Fire Element Divine Power is the most powerful of the five elemental divine powers in the early stage. Although I am not yet able to use the divine power with my current cultivation level, these are still the most suitable for me compared to other things."
