Unwavering Faith in Daddy!

"Pill King, these two pills are quite extraordinary—could they be something not of this mortal world?" Tang Yu asked, his face full of anticipation.

Wen Yuansong nodded. "Indeed. These two pills are called the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill, a Saint Rank Immortal Pill."

"This pill seizes the very creation of heaven and earth. The Child Pill can repair the body and regrow flesh from bone."

"As for the Mother Pill, it can gather qi and summon the soul, possessing the wondrous power to bring the dead back to life!"

Tang Yu rubbed his hands together excitedly. "So, if these two pills are used together, they can save my son?"

"Hmm!" Wen Yuansong nodded with firm certainty.

Lin Xuan, standing off to the side, also slightly nodded.

According to the description in the Tai Yan Dan Scroll, the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill was indeed as Wen Yuansong had said.

If that was the case, then the Crown Prince would surely be out of danger.

"Then hurry and give it to him!" Tang Yu urged. "If it truly cures him, I, Gu, will build a golden statue of the Pill King and worship it day and night in the palace!"

Wen Yuansong smiled, walked back to the bedside, and placed the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill into Tang Chengjian's mouth in two separate doses.

Seeing this, Xuan Zhu and the four little girls joyfully clasped Tang Ying's hand. "Ying Er, your daddy won't die!"

"Mm-hmm!" Tang Ying was overjoyed.

Everyone then began to wait silently for a miracle to occur.

Before long, Tang Chengjian coughed once, then opened his eyes.

"Chengjian, you're better!" Tang Yu rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Tang Chengjian's hand.

Suddenly, with a hiss, he let go of Tang Chengjian's hand.

"Why is it so hot?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chengjian coughed violently.

Thick, bloody pus began to spurt from the black hole in his face.

Tang Yu quickly turned around and asked, "Pill King, is he about to recover?"

Wen Yuansong stepped forward, lifted Tang Chengjian's eyelid to look, and frowned. "That should not be!"

A sense of foreboding stirred in his heart.

Besides being a Pill Refining Grandmaster, he was also highly skilled in medicine.

By all logic, after taking the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill, Tang Chengjian should have recovered rapidly.

Instead, he was going against the grain—his body was terrifyingly hot, his pupils were beginning to dilate, and he looked like he was on the verge of death!

"What should not be?" Tang Yu's heart clenched.

Wen Yuansong turned around, his face filled with guilt. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid my Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill cannot save the Crown Prince!"

"Why? Didn't you say these two pills were Immortal Pills?" Tang Yu was frantic with desperation.

"Alas!"

Wen Yuansong let out a long sigh. "Originally, they could have saved the Crown Prince, but... these two pills are not finished products."

"My abilities are limited; I could only refine them to seventy or eighty percent!"

"I thought that an eighty-percent Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill would still be enough to save the Crown Prince, but it seems I was overly confident!"

In fact.

There was one more thing he hadn't mentioned earlier—both of these Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pills were only eighty-percent semi-finished products.

Not fully completed pills.

Still, in Wen Yuansong's view, they should have been sufficient to save the Crown Prince.

Though they couldn't restore him to his original state completely, at least they could let him live on.

He hadn't expected the outcome to fall short.

"What?!"

Tang Yu's body trembled at the news.

Every medicine has three parts poison.

If the pill wasn't a finished product, the toxicity might even outweigh the medicinal properties.

"Your Majesty, accept it with grief," Wen Yuansong murmured. "Immortal Pills are a matter of chance, not something you can seek at will. This was always a gamble—you and I have both done all we could..."

But Tang Yu's mind was roaring; he couldn't hear a single word.

Standing nearby, Tang Ying's tears streamed down her face.

Soon, she burst into loud sobs. "My daddy is going to die! My daddy is going to die!"

At her cries, Xuan Zhu and the four little girls immediately started crying along.

"Ying Er's daddy is going to die—she's so pitiful!"

"A child without a daddy is so sad. I don't want Ying Er's daddy to die!"

"Ying'er, your daddy won't die!"

"Boo-hoo, Old Heaven Grandpa, please save Ying'er's daddy!"

Seeing the four little girls wailing, Lin Xuan's heart ached.

He quickly stepped forward to comfort them: "Treasures, don't cry! Daddy's heart hurts seeing this!"

"Daddy has a way to save Ying'er's father, you have to trust Daddy!"

At his words, Xuan Zhu and the others really did stop their tears.

"Mm-hmm, Daddy, you have to save Ying'er's daddy quickly!"

The little girls had absolute faith in Lin Xuan.

Hearing him say that, their hearts no longer felt so sad.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu and Wen Yuansong both turned their gazes to fall on Lin Xuan.

Tang Yu snapped out of his grief and slapped his forehead: "That's right, the Imperial Husband is here, so my son still has hope!"

He had been so tense rushing all the way to the Crown Prince's sleeping palace that he hadn't remembered the man standing beside him was the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband.

With the Imperial Husband here, what miracle couldn't happen?

Wen Yuansong looked at Lin Xuan with deep respect: "Your Majesty, he is?"

Tang Yu: "He is the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband!"

Wen Yuansong quickly stepped forward to bow: "So it's the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband. I, Wen Yuansong of Medicine God Valley, pay my respects to the Imperial Husband!"

Lin Xuan slightly nodded.

Wen Yuansong said respectfully: "The Imperial Husband just now said there was a way—could it be to refine a finished Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill?"

"Pill refining is simple," Lin Xuan said calmly. "Just give me a cauldron and the ingredients, and it's done with a wave of the hand."

With the Tai Yan Dan Scroll, he had three or four methods to refine the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill alone.

All he lacked now were the tools and materials.

Since Wen Yuansong could refine a semi-finished product, those likely weren't a problem either.

Hearing this, Wen Yuansong and Tang Yu felt even more awed.

It seemed their guess was right—the North Profound Heaven Imperial Husband truly possessed earth-shaking ability.

"The cauldron and ingredients are all available!"

Wen Yuansong quickly said: "They're in my Medicine God Valley. If the Imperial Husband doesn't mind, we can move to the valley."

Excitement surged in his heart.

If he could watch the Imperial Husband refine pills, he might even pick up a few scraps of knowledge.

And even those scraps could perhaps advance his Pill Dao cultivation further.

"Good." Lin Xuan prepared to set out with his four daughters.

"Uncle, can I come too?" Tang Ying asked timidly.

"Of course you can," Lin Xuan said gently.

"That's great!" Xuan Zhu and the others quickly took Tang Ying's hands.

Wen Yuansong then inserted a few silver needles into Tang Chengjian and fed him some pills to protect his heart meridian, ensuring he wouldn't die within an hour.

He was absolutely certain an hour was enough.

Because the Imperial Husband had just said the Mysterious Fate Mother Child Pill could be done with a wave of the hand.

Since the Imperial Husband said so, there would surely be no mistakes.

"Imperial Husband, I'll lead the way ahead." After saying this, Wen Yuansong mounted a demonic beast with enormous wings.

Then Lin Xuan led the children onto the jade chariot, following behind Wen Yuansong's beast.

Before long, thirty thousand li had passed.

Lin Xuan saw a massive valley ahead, where a pillar of fire light shot into the sky.

Seeing this, Wen Yuansong's heart tightened: "Damn it, could something have happened to Medicine God Valley?!"
