The Emperor Consort's Daughters Had Absolute Faith in Their Father!

"Pill King, these two pills are extraordinary. Could they be from beyond this mortal world?" Tang Yu asked expectantly.

Wen Yuansong nodded. "That's right. These two pills are called the Profound Life Twin Pills. They are immortal pills of the Sacred Rank."

"These pills seize the fortune of Heaven and Earth. The child pill can repair the body and bring flesh back to bare bones."

"The mother pill can gather qi and restore the soul, and has the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life!"

Tang Yu rubbed his hands excitedly. "So, if we use both pills together, they can save my son?"

"Mm!" Wen Yuansong nodded with certainty.

Lin Xuan, standing nearby, also gave a slight nod.

According to the descriptions in the Great Evolution Pill Scroll, the Profound Life Twin Pills were indeed as Wen Yuansong had said.

If so, the Crown Prince should surely be out of danger.

"Then give them to him right away!" Tang Yu said urgently. "If you really can cure him, I'll have a golden statue made in your honor, Pill King, and worship it day and night in the imperial palace!"

Wen Yuansong smiled and returned to the bedside. He placed the Profound Life Twin Pills into Tang Chengjian's mouth one at a time.

Seeing this, Xuanzhu and the others happily clasped Tang Ying's hand. "Ying'er, your father won't die!"

"Mm-mm!" Tang Ying was overjoyed.

Everyone then waited silently for a miracle to happen.

Before long, Tang Chengjian coughed and opened his eyes.

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

Suddenly, he hissed and let go of Tang Chengjian's hand.

"Why is it so hot?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chengjian coughed violently.

Thick, filthy blood began pouring from the black holes in his face.

Tang Yu hurriedly turned to ask, "Pill King, is he getting better?"

Wen Yuansong stepped forward and lifted Tang Chengjian's eyelids to take a look. His brow furrowed. "This shouldn't be happening!"

A sense of foreboding stirred in his heart.

Besides being a master alchemist, he was also highly skilled in medicine.

By all rights, after taking the Profound Life Twin Pills, Tang Chengjian should have quickly returned to normal.

Instead, things had gone the opposite way. His body was frighteningly hot, and his pupils were beginning to cloud over. He looked close to death!

"What shouldn't be happening?" Tang Yu's heart clenched.

Wen Yuansong turned around, his face full of guilt. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid my Profound Life Twin Pills can't save the Crown Prince!"

"Why? Didn't you say these two pills were immortal pills?" Tang Yu was on the verge of losing his mind.

"Alas!"

Wen Yuansong let out a long sigh. "They should have been able to save the Crown Prince, but... these two pills aren't complete."

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

"I thought that pills at eighty percent potency would still be enough to save the Crown Prince. It seems I was too blindly confident!"

In truth,

there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned. Both Profound Life Twin Pills were only eighty-percent-finished pills.

They were not complete.

Still, Wen Yuansong had thought they would be enough to save the Crown Prince.

Though they wouldn't restore him completely to his former self, at the very least, they should have allowed him to live on in good health.

Unexpectedly, things had still gone wrong.

"What?!"

Tang Yu's body trembled as he heard this.

Even the best medicine had some poison in it.

If the pills weren't fully refined, their toxicity might outweigh their medicinal effects.

"Your Majesty, please accept your grief," Wen Yuansong murmured. "Immortal pills are impossible to come by. This was always a gamble. You and I both did all we could..."

But Tang Yu's head was ringing. He couldn't hear a word.

Tang Ying, standing nearby, was already streaming with tears.

Soon, she began to wail. "My father is going to die! My father is going to die!"

At her cries, the four little girls, Xuanzhu and the others, immediately began crying too.

"Ying'er's father is going to die. She's so pitiful!"

"Children without fathers are so pitiful. I don't want Ying'er's father to die!"

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

"Waaah! Grandpa Heaven, please save Ying'er's father!"

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

He hurried over to comfort them. "My darlings, don't cry! It'll break Daddy's heart to see you cry!"

"Daddy has a way to save Ying'er's father. You have to trust Daddy!"

At his words, Xuanzhu and the others really did stop crying.

"Mm-mm, Daddy, hurry and save Ying'er's father!"

The little girls trusted Lin Xuan completely.

Hearing him say that, they immediately felt less upset.

Tang Yu and Wen Yuansong both turned their eyes to Lin Xuan.

Coming back to his senses from his grief, Tang Yu suddenly smacked his forehead. "That's right! The Emperor Consort is here. My son still has hope!"

He had been so anxious on the way to the Crown Prince's chambers that he hadn't even remembered that the man standing right beside him was the Emperor Consort of the Northern Profound Heaven.

With the Emperor Consort here, what miracle couldn't happen?

Wen Yuansong looked at Lin Xuan with deep respect. "Your Majesty, may I ask who he is?"

Tang Yu said, "He is the Emperor Consort of the Northern Profound Heaven!"

Wen Yuansong hurried forward and saluted. "So you are the Emperor Consort of the Northern Profound Heaven. I am Wen Yuansong of Medicine God Valley. My respects, Emperor Consort!"

Lin Xuan gave a slight nod.

Wen Yuansong said respectfully, "The Emperor Consort just said he had a way. Could it be that he can refine complete Profound Life Twin Pills?"

"Alchemy is simple," Lin Xuan said indifferently. "Just give me a pill cauldron and the ingredients, and I can make them with a wave of my hand."

With the Great Evolution Pill Scroll, he already knew three or four ways to refine the Profound Life Twin Pills alone.

All he lacked now were the tools and ingredients.

Since Wen Yuansong could refine incomplete pills, surely those wouldn't be a problem either.

Wen Yuansong and Tang Yu were even more awed by his words.

It seemed their guess had been right: the Emperor Consort of the Northern Profound Heaven truly had astonishing abilities.

"We have a pill cauldron and the ingredients!"

Wen Yuansong hurriedly said, "They're all in Medicine God Valley. If it's no trouble, Emperor Consort, please come with me."

He was thrilled.

If he could watch the Emperor Consort refine pills, he might learn a thing or two.

And even a little knowledge might help him advance further in the art of alchemy.

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

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

"Of course," Lin Xuan replied gently.

"That's wonderful!" Xuanzhu and the others quickly joined hands with Tang Ying.

Wen Yuansong then inserted a few silver needles into Tang Chengjian and fed him several pills to protect his heart. This would ensure he wouldn't die for another hour.

He was absolutely certain an hour would be enough.

After all, the Emperor Consort had just said that refining the Profound Life Twin Pills was as easy as waving his hand.

Since the Emperor Consort had said so, there was no way anything could go wrong.

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

Lin Xuan then led the children onto the Jade Carriage and followed behind Wen Yuansong's beast.

Before long, they had traveled thirty thousand li.

Lin Xuan saw a towering blaze of fire rising from a huge valley ahead.

At the sight, Wen Yuansong's heart tightened. "Oh no! Could something have happened to Medicine God Valley?!"
