Lin Bai caught the Heaven-Mending Pill, gave it a glance, then hurried over to Gu Yueqing's side.
Gu Yueqing's body went limp, and she collapsed straight down.
Lin Bai was quick to react. He caught Gu Yueqing and asked, "How are you?"
Gu Yueqing laughed excitedly. "A King-Grade Pill. I actually refined it."
"The Heaven-Mending Pill you wanted—I refined it!"
"Lin Bai, I'm not stupid, right?"

Lin Bai was somewhat moved, but he spoke with a cold expression.

"I gave her a pill to preserve her life, so there's no problem there. But if she wants to fully recover to her original condition, she'll probably need another half a month!"
Old Master He said indifferently, "Don't worry. Her life isn't in danger."
Lin Bai nodded. "Thank you, Old Master He. Please
