Chapter 559 - 539: Immortal Pill and Human Emperor Pill

Hearing Yao Yuelong’s words, Sun Zhe panicked, disregarding his injuries, and ran deeply into the cave wearing just shorts.

Looking at his worried figure, Yao Yuelong felt a twinge in her heart and slowly followed him.

At the deepest part of the cave, there was a small stone chamber, complete with windows and a stove, clearly man-made.

A Cold Jade Bed emitting cold air was placed on the left side of the stone chamber.

Sun Zhe had seen this Cold Jade Bed before in Dragon Taming Village, it was precisely where Yao Yuelong would meditate, and she likely carried it with her stored in a Storage Treasure when traveling.

A beautiful and graceful jade body lay quietly on the jade bed, her long hair spread out like a waterfall, covered with a floral-embroidered thin blanket, the high, rounded contours beneath clearly visible, her exquisite face devoid of color, weakened to a pitiful state.

"Shuang’er..."

Sun Zhe’s eyes grew moist, his body stiffened slightly, and he slowly walked towards the Cold Jade Bed.

Yao Yuelong, who was following him, cautioned, "It’s best not to touch her; on my Cold Jade Bed, she can at least keep her life."

Sun Zhe looked at Leng Yueshuang’s peaceful sleeping face with a pained expression, trembling as he asked, "What exactly happened?"

Yao Yuelong said, "When I encountered her, she was being hunted by a group, severely injured, and had lost her left arm."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe quickly looked at Leng Yueshuang’s left arm, finding it intact, and asked, "Did you reattach it for her?"

Yao Yuelong shook her head, saying, "In her direly wounded state and near death, she decided to gamble and took the Pill Guide of the Human Emperor Pill. After that, her lost limb regenerated, and her wounds healed, but she couldn’t wake up."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe recalled encountering Chen Feng at the headquarters of the Beimian Family before.

Chen Feng possessed an Undying Body, was it also because of this Human Emperor Pill?

Thinking of this, Sun Zhe asked, "What’s the story with this Human Emperor Pill?"

Yao Yuelong said, "This is the reason I changed my route to come to Northern Myanmar on my way to Yang City — to stop the Chen Family from refining the Human Emperor Pill."

She continued, "This pill is a forbidden item. While it can create an Undying Body, the method of its refinement is brutal, requiring three hundred adult men, five hundred adult women, plus the internal organs of three hundred boys and girls to refine the Pill Guide."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe gritted his teeth, "That’s just downright inhumane!"

Yao Yuelong looked at Leng Yueshuang on the Cold Jade Bed, saying, "Miss Leng did this to stop the Beimian Family. She disregarded her own safety, intercepted the Pill Guide being escorted by a Chen Family disciple, and saved many boys and girls captured by the Chen Family."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe looked at Leng Yueshuang, feeling tremendous respect and pride for her.

Yao Yuelong looked deeply at Sun Zhe, slowly saying, "Speaking of which, the Human Emperor Pill is actually the same longevity elixir that Emperor Qin sought in the past, also known as the Immortal Pill."

"Furthermore... this Immortal Pill was initially created by your grandfather."

Sun Zhe’s eyes widened in shock, "Created by my grandfather?!"

Yao Yuelong turned to look elsewhere, "Your grandfather’s original surname was Xu. Later, to avoid others, he changed his surname to Sun, hiding in the deep mountains, never meddling with the world, only surfacing during times of upheaval to guide the trends."

"What did you say? His surname... his surname was Xu?"

Suddenly, something clicked for Sun Zhe, and his body trembled as his feelings grew extremely complex.

His grandfather’s name was "Sun Fu," so if his surname was Xu, wouldn’t that mean "Xu Fu"?

And Xu Fu was the famous alchemist in history who sought the elixir for Emperor Qin, wasn’t he?

This colossal piece of information was difficult for Sun Zhe to process at once.

A silence fell over the space.

Yao Yuelong continued, "But the Immortal Pill your grandfather created was different from the Human Emperor Pill; its method of refinement wasn’t as cruel."

"Currently in the Martial Artist Realm, the so-called ’Human Emperor Pill’ is merely a modification based on the remnants of your grandfather’s Pill Formula."

"It can be said that the Immortal Pill and the Human Emperor Pill are two entirely different things."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt somewhat relieved, reining in his thoughts, he asked, "So how do we save Shuang’er?"

Yao Yuelong replied, "First, take care of yourself. As long as she remains in this state, her life isn’t in danger. I will find a way to save her afterward."

Sun Zhe said nothing more, taking one last deep glance at Leng Yueshuang before turning to leave the stone chamber.

A long while later.

Yao Yuelong helped bandage Sun Zhe, looked at his severed hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Sun Zhe shook his head, smiling, "It hurt a lot at first, but with the nurturing of the Pure Yang True Qi, it doesn’t hurt much now. Look, it’s already healing and scarring."

"Sigh..."

Yao Yuelong sighed softly, a stab of pain in her heart.

Missing a hand and an eye is something no one could easily accept, so she knew how much Sun Zhe suffered, yet he tried to put on a brave face.

Sun Zhe teased, "What, do you find me less appealing now?"

Yao Yuelong gently shook her head, answering more earnestly than he expected, "No."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Yao Yuelong became uneasy under his gentle gaze, her face turning red as she asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Sun Zhe laughed, "Nothing, I just feel like compared to when we first met, you have a bit more of life’s aura now."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Just then, Fang Feijing, lying at the cave entrance, suddenly coughed violently.

She had been unconscious, but the pain woke her up.

Yao Yuelong stood up, looking at Fang Feijing, who was writhing on the ground in pain, and said calmly, "She was injured by Dragon Qi, she doesn’t have long."

Sun Zhe sneered, "Letting her die painfully is fine with me. This woman cut off my hand and blinded my eye. I’d feel better if she died a torturous death."

Yao Yuelong said, "There’s a large amount of Yin Essence hidden in her. You might want to harvest it.""

Sun Zhe shrugged, "While it’s still warm, huh? But I’ll pass."

Yao Yuelong, expressionless, "Her Yin Essence is unusual. It might save your Shuang’er."

Hearing this, Sun Zhe was silent for a moment before resolutely deciding to approach Fang Feijing.

Fang Feijing had evidently heard the conversation between Sun Zhe and Yao Yuelong, and seeing Sun Zhe walking towards her, she grew extremely tense.

"No... stay away from me!"

Sun Zhe bent down, gripping her throat and lifting her up, saying, "I won’t force you, just propose a deal."

"Wha... what deal?"

Sun Zhe’s face remained impassive, bluntly saying, "I’ll infuse you with Pure Yang True Qi to heal your injury and extract the remaining Dragon Qi from you. In return, you give me your Yin Essence."

"You vile scoundrel, don’t even dream!"

Fang Feijing’s eyes were red with extreme hatred.

Since her husband’s death years ago, she had sealed her Yin Essence, intending to use it to breakthrough her constraints, so how could she easily hand it over to a detestable young upstart?

Sun Zhe released her throat, saying, "Then you can just go ahead and die slowly. Even without your Yin Essence, there are other options I can harvest."

With that, he turned to look at Yao Yuelong with a meaningful smile.

Yao Yuelong naturally understood his intent and couldn’t help but blush.
