The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"A mere fifth-grade Immortal Elixir, no big deal."

Tang Rao was almost scratching his head.

He could make fourth-grade Immortal Elixirs, but he had never tried fifth-grade ones. He wasn't sure if he could succeed.

Tang Rao's head was about to explode.

"Little Fire Ginseng, go check it out."

Tang Rao released the Little Fire Ginseng.

Upon receiving Tang Rao's order, the Little Fire Ginseng immediately drilled into Xiao Yun's body.

After going around, the Little Fire Ginseng's face became grim.

After finishing the examination, the Little Fire Ginseng came out and shook its head to Tang Rao.

It seemed the situation was not favorable.

"How is it?"

The Little Fire Ginseng hopped onto Tang Rao's shoulder and whispered, "The situation is dire!"

"Is there any way to save her, can a fifth-grade Rejuvenation Pill do it?"

Tang Rao wasn't confident about the injuries on Xiao Yun.

"It's possible, but with your current skill, crafting a fifth-grade Rejuvenation Pill might be a bit challenging."

The Little Fire Ginseng wasn't underestimating Tang Rao; it was just stating the facts.

"Don't look down on me, I can even fight beyond my level. Why should I be afraid of crafting beyond my level?"

As long as one is determined, success in alchemy is possible.

Tang Rao didn't keep arguing with the Little Fire Ginseng; he directly entered his portable palace and took out the Medicine Tripod.

"Where did I put the ancient recipe for Immortal Elixirs last time?"

In the Gengyu Mausoleum, there were too many Ancient Elixir Recipes, each one worth a fortune, and among them were fifth-grade elixirs.

He just couldn't remember where the recipe was at the moment.

After rummaging through everything, Tang Rao finally found the recipes for a fifth-grade Rejuvenation Pill and a Healing Skin Pill.

Great, all the ingredients listed on the recipes were obtainable: Mei Wood Grass, Bendieter Vine.

Everything required was there.

"Little Fire Ginseng, I have three sets of materials, I can only afford to fail twice. Are you confident?"

Tang Rao looked at the Little Fire Ginseng as if it were a delicious dish.

"What do you mean do I feel confident? Your alchemy has nothing to do with me. I just... Wait, you're not planning to use me for alchemy, are you?"

The Little Fire Ginseng felt like it had a fake owner.

"Of course, with the Dan Fire, the success rate is too low. Only by using you can it be successful, right?"

The Little Fire Ginseng wanted to escape, but Tang Rao, swift and sharp-eyed, quickly grabbed it.

"Be serious, I'm not joking."

Tang Rao moved his hands, channeling Immortal Energy, and compressed the Little Fire Ginseng into a ball of fire.

The fire struggled a couple of times in his hand, and then it stopped struggling as it couldn't move anymore.

He placed only one set of materials inside, then stimulated the Immortal Fire from the Little Fire Ginseng to start heating up.

At every stage, Tang Rao had to pause a little to adjust the size of the Dan Fire, then increase it again.

Time ticked by slowly, and Tang Rao was already exhausted.

"Boom!"

Just when Tang Rao thought his Immortal Elixir was complete, something exploded inside the Pill Furnace.

There, it failed.

Tang Rao's arms drooped, his sweaty body brimming with fatigue.

"It actually failed!"

Without the pressure of Immortal Energy, the Little Fire Ginseng returned to human form.

"I told you you couldn't do it, but you didn't listen. With your skill, you still want to craft a fifth-grade Immortal Elixir?"

The Little Fire Ginseng had long said that Tang Rao wouldn't succeed, but he didn't believe it.

"I was going to tell you a good plan, yet you insisted on turning me into a ball of fire. What could I do? Anyway, Xiao Yun can hold on for at most 24 hours, after that, even a great immortal can't save her."

This was already the best outcome.

Perhaps Xiao Yun would die the next second.

The people from the Land of Immortals were devoid of emotion; to them, a person's death was the same as an immortal beast's death. Tang Rao, unlike those native to the Land of Immortals, was flesh and blood with feelings. He couldn't just watch Xiao Yun die.

"Tell me the plan quickly, otherwise I'll make you remain as the Immortal Fire for your whole life, believe it or not?"

Tang Rao wasn't joking with the Little Fire Ginseng at such a moment.

The Little Fire Ginseng hurriedly crouched down, holding its head with its hands, not daring to say another word.

"The Kao Shan Sect has a boy who ate Immortal Ginseng. His blood can bring the dead back to life, even more effective than any fifth-grade elixir. Have you forgotten?"

The Little Fire Ginseng's words snapped him out of his reverie.

How could he have forgotten about Lu Jun's miraculous effect?

"Alright, I understand now."

Tang Rao immediately leaped out of the portable palace and bit Lu Jun's hand hard.

Blood started to gush from Lu Jun's finger continuously.

As soon as the first drop of blood appeared, Tang Rao quickly put Lu Jun's hand into Xiao Yun's mouth.

The blood was too precious; wasting a drop would be a terrible waste.

"Sect Master, why did you bite me? It hurts so much, I'm going to die from this pain."

Lu Jun pouted, already starting to think if he would just die like this.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is an emergency. You need to help me save Xiao Yun."

Tang Rao didn't even ask for Lu Jun's consent.

"I can save Xiao Yun? Okay then, as long as my blood can save her, I'm willing to let her drink as much as she needs."

When Lu Jun thought about Xiao Yun being the one who drank his blood, he instantly became happy.

The power of the Immortal Ginseng was immense.

Originally ripped apart, Xiao Yun, who was soon to be left as a pile of bones, started regenerating her flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The newly grown flesh was even smoother and whiter than before.

"Wow, Xiao Yun is starting to recover!"

All the disciples of Kao Shan Sect watched in awe, thinking this miraculous scene was anything but magic.

"Of course, whose blood do you think it is?"

Lu Jun was guileless; seeing he could save people made him happier than anyone.

He wasn't afraid that outsiders would covet his blood after witnessing this scene.

"What happened to me?"

An hour later, Xiao Yun's wounds were completely healed.

Her face was just as perfect as before, like a hard-boiled egg, her flawless skin making those in their thirties extremely envious.

"Xiao Yun, you scared your sister to death!"

Liu Mingyue was the first to reach Xiao Yun's side, gently propping up her upper body.

"Sister, wasn't I in a bloody cave? How did I return to the Kao Shan Sect?"

Seeing the familiar faces in the Kao Shan Sect, Xiao Yun couldn't be happier.

"It was Fuyao who saved you. He rescued you from the hands of the Corpse Emperor. It was Lu Jun, a disciple of Kao Shan Sect, whom you know, who healed your wounds. Come on, try standing up."

The external wounds were healed, but it was unknown if there were any lingering internal issues.

With the help of those around her, Xiao Yun slowly stood up.

Fortunately, she could still stand and move around a bit.

Liu Mingyue didn't mention Tang Rao's help, wanting Xiao Yun to give up on him, to understand that Tang Rao had no ulterior motives towards her.

"Since she's alright now, let's disperse."

Tang Rao waved his hand, and all the disciples of Kao Shan Sect stepped aside.

They didn't want to get involved in these complicated relationships.

"Tang Rao, you saved me too, didn't you?"

Xiao Yun called out to Tang Rao just in time.

He didn't move a single step.

"No, I only came to see if you were dead or alive."

Tang Rao's words were merciless.
