"Take it. If you don't improve your strength, we won't be able to leave this place." Xiao Peng forcefully stuffed the Purple Crystal Pill into Yun Yun's hand.
The Purple Crystal Pill was already of little use to him. Its effects had begun to diminish after the fourth one.
Yun Yun held the warm Purple Crystal Pill in her palm, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"But..." Yun Yun still wanted to refuse, but Xiao Peng interrupted her.
"Either take it now, or I'll throw it out and lure the giant python away." Xiao Peng's tone was calm, but his gaze carried an unquestionable resolve. "We're tied to the same rope now. The stronger you become, the better our chances of getting out."
Yun Yun bit her lip and looked at his frank profile. At last, she stopped hesitating. A thread of Dou Qi gathered at her fingertips, carefully slicing through the pill's outer glow before she placed the Purple Crystal Pill in her mouth.

Yun Yun nodded, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and devoted herself fully to refining the medicinal power.

Xiao Peng looked at Yun Yun and asked, "How is it?"
"Not bad." Yun Yun rose to her feet
