Can Take It Multiple Times? How Is That Possible?

Nalan Yanran struggled to her feet and stood in front of Yun Yun.

Her body was still trembling, and blood streaked the corner of her mouth, but her gaze was firm.

"Xiao Yan, if you want to kill my teacher, you'll have to kill me first."

Xiao Yan looked at her without expression.

"Get out of the way."

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth. "No."

"You want to die?"

"Then I'll die," Nalan Yanran said. "I'm not afraid."

Xiao Yan glanced at her but said nothing.

He crouched down in front of Yun Yun.

"I'm not going to kill you."

Yun Yun froze.

Nalan Yanran froze too.

"What did you say?" Yun Yun asked in disbelief.

"I said I'm not going to kill you," Xiao Yan replied.

Yun Yun looked at him, unsure what to say.

She had thought she was certain to die today, yet Xiao Yan had actually said he wouldn't kill her.

"Then what do you want?" Yun Yun asked.

"What do I want?" Xiao Yan said. "I can do you a favor."

"Help me?" Yun Yun was even more confused.

"I can help you increase your strength," Xiao Yan said. "I'll refine an Imperial Extreme Pill to raise your strength by one star."

Yun Yun was completely stunned.

Nalan Yanran was stunned too.

Help Teacher increase her strength? Could Xiao Yan really be so kind?

"Y-you mean that?" Yun Yun asked in disbelief.

"Of course," Xiao Yan replied.

Nalan Yanran came to her senses and looked at Xiao Yan with suspicion.

"Xiao Yan, what are you really up to?" Nalan Yanran demanded.

Xiao Yan didn't look at her.

"You must have some ulterior motive for helping Teacher increase her strength," Nalan Yanran said. "Are you planning to take advantage of her and make a move on her?"

"Be quiet," Xiao Yan said coolly.

Nalan Yanran paled. "You—"

"Say one more word and I'll kill you."

Nalan Yanran immediately shut her mouth. Though she hated Xiao Yan, she knew he meant what he said.

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan, her heart full of questions.

She couldn't understand why Xiao Yan wanted to help her.

She was the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. Xiao Yan had killed three of its elders, so the two of them should have been locked in a fight to the death.

Yet Xiao Yan wasn't just sparing her—he was offering to help her increase her strength.

It made no sense.

"Xiao Yan, why are you helping me?" Yun Yun asked.

"There's no reason.

"Believe it or not."

Yun Yun fell silent for a moment, then said, "But I've already taken an Imperial Extreme Pill."

Xiao Yan looked at her. "I know."

"You know that and still said you'd refine an Imperial Extreme Pill for me?" Yun Yun said. "An Imperial Extreme Pill can only be taken once. You can only take one in your entire life."

"Taking a second pill has no effect at all."

"Refining one for me would be pointless."

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help letting the corners of her mouth curl upward.

"Xiao Yan, did you hear that?" Nalan Yanran said. "Teacher has already taken an Imperial Extreme Pill."

"You don't even know that, yet you claim you can help Teacher increase her strength?"

"You're pretending to know what you're talking about and spouting nonsense."

Xiao Yan glanced at her, and Nalan Yanran immediately fell silent.

"If I say it can be done, then it can," Xiao Yan said.

Yun Yun frowned. "What do you mean?"

"The Imperial Extreme Pills I refine aren't the same as ordinary ones," Xiao Yan said.

"Not the same?" Yun Yun asked. "How are they different?"

"An ordinary Imperial Extreme Pill can only be taken once by a Dou Huang expert," Xiao Yan said. "But the Imperial Extreme Pills I refine can be taken multiple times."

Shock flashed in Yun Yun's eyes.

"What did you say?"

"I said the Imperial Extreme Pills I refine have no limit on how many times they can be taken," Xiao Yan said. "The second or third dose won't lose its effect."

"And the medicinal effect won't diminish."

Yun Yun was completely stunned.

She had never heard of such a thing in all her years in the Jia Ma Empire.

The pill formula for the Imperial Extreme Pill had been passed down from long ago and had never changed in centuries.

That one Dou Huang expert could only take one Imperial Extreme Pill was common knowledge.

But Xiao Yan claimed his Imperial Extreme Pills could be taken multiple times?

How was that possible?
