"But my Immortality Elixir wasn't that powerful. Back when Wu Gang was being punished, I secretly gave him some. I refined it from Moon Laurel blossoms and peach pits, but unfortunately, it didn't work very well!" Moon Rabbit said glumly.
Lord Lao was a true master of pill refining. He shook his head speechlessly. "All things in heaven and earth nurture and counteract one another. Many cannot be used together. There are only three things in this world that can instantly turn someone into an immortal: Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit, the Queen Mother's Nine-Thousand-Year Peach, and my Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Lord Lao groaned inwardly. *Damn it, what do
