Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Divine Essence Elixir Complete

"Yang Cheng, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me. Right now, saving Xiao Xiao is the most important thing."

Cheng Qiyue forced a smile through her pale lips and struggled to stand up.

"Yang Cheng, I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me. Right now, saving Xiao Xiao is the most important thing."

Cheng Qiyue forced a smile through her pale lips and struggled to stand up.

Seeing her body wobble unsteadily, Cheng Ruonan quickly caught her. "I’ll take you back to rest. I can keep watch here on my own," she said helplessly.

"Ms. Ruonan, please bring a pot of hot water here every hour. Just leave it at the door. The rest is up to me alone. Don’t worry, I will succeed," Yang Cheng said, determination in his voice, as he flashed a bright smile at the two.

"We believe in you."

The sisters nodded, supporting each other as they left the room.

At this time, Yang Xiao was already feeling drowsy on the bed. Her health was frail to begin with, and after exerting herself twice, she was even more exhausted.

Yang Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, gathering all his True Qi towards the Divine Essence Elixir, adding more lines to its patterns, the pill’s color growing even more vibrant.

"No wonder it can cure terminal illnesses, this medicine pill is incredibly hard to concoct," he muttered through clenched teeth, cringing at the thought of someone asking him to create the Divine Essence Elixir, knowing he wouldn’t do it even for a hefty sum.

But perhaps it’s because his strength is still too weak; if he reached the Golden Core Realm or a level above, it wouldn’t be this challenging.

The sky slowly darkened, silence consuming the room. Yang Cheng stayed in that position, his body growing stiff.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a golden light flashing before him.

"Finally... it’s done!"

He felt the Divine Essence Elixir floating within his Dantian, the green pill adorned with golden patterns, resembling an Ancient Spiritual Artifact.

"Xiao Xiao, don’t sleep, you’ll be able to take the medicine soon," he whispered softly, gently patting Yang Xiao’s cheek.

"Brother Chen, I’m so tired. I’ll surely get better after taking the medicine, right?"

Yang Xiao’s voice was weak. The True Qi Yang Cheng had transferred was nearly depleted, and she felt her vitality waning, lacking even the strength to raise her arm.

"Of course, if the Divine Essence Elixir I worked so hard to make can’t cure you, then I’d be living in vain," Yang Cheng reassured her with a smile.

"Give me ten minutes, I’ll extract the Divine Essence Elixir from my body, and you can take it immediately."

He promptly activated his Cultivation Technique, using two fingers to touch his abdomen, with True Qi enveloping the green pill.

The Divine Essence Elixir spun quickly, seeming unwilling to leave his Dantian, but it couldn’t resist the overpowering True Qi.

"Urgh..."

Yang Cheng let out a pained groan as sweat as large as beans trickled down, his entire body trembling.

He dared not make a loud noise, fearing it would frighten Yang Xiao, biting his teeth hard as the taste of blood rose in his mouth.

He felt as if he might be torn apart at any moment, but he didn’t let go, extracting the Divine Essence Elixir from his body in just five minutes.

The Elixir floated and spun in the air, emitting golden and green light, illuminating the dim room.

Noticing the light, Yang Xiao slowly opened her eyes, exclaiming in surprise, "Is this the medicine pill you made? It’s amazing!"

"Xiao Xiao, quickly take this pill," Yang Cheng urged, not daring to waste a second, grasping the Divine Essence Elixir and popping it into Yang Xiao’s mouth.

She was caught off-guard as the pill went into her stomach, still glowing.

Seeing the pill enter Yang Xiao’s body, Yang Cheng stood up and went over to check the water temperature in the bath.

It took him so long to refine the pill that even with its insulating function, the water was just lukewarm.

He poured the hot water from the thermos into the bathtub, ensuring the temperature was right, then sprinkled the pre-ground medicinal powder into the water.

Steam filled the air, carrying a faint medicinal scent, invigorating and refreshing.

Yang Cheng turned around and carried Yang Xiao over, saying softly, "The potency of the Divine Essence Elixir is strong; you need to soak in the medicinal bath throughout to assimilate it faster."

"This process might be uncomfortable, but don’t be afraid; I’ll be right here with you."

After saying that, Yang Cheng removed the silver needle from her chest, gently placing her into the water.

The hot water enveloped her entire body, dispelling the chill and making Yang Xiao squint comfortably.

Yang Cheng sat in the bath too, holding Yang Xiao around the waist, ensuring she didn’t slip.

Initially, the bath was comfortable, lulling Yang Xiao to sleep, but soon a sharp pain struck her lungs.

"Ah!"

She cried out, her eyes narrowing with pain, her fragile body curling up.

"It’s okay, it’s the Elixir’s effect acting on the affected area in your lungs," Yang Cheng soothed, channeling True Qi into her chest to expedite the process and ease her pain.

"It doesn’t hurt. I just got startled," Yang Xiao said feigning calmness, her lips pressed tightly, suppressing any sound.

After an hour, the bath water was cool. Yang Cheng refilled it with hot water again.

This cycle continued, maintaining the water’s temperature until the first light of dawn.

As daylight seeped in, Yang Cheng realized they’d lasted the entire night, an agonizingly long night with him periodically transferring True Qi and replacing hot water, always vigilant of Yang Xiao’s state.

Fortunately, Yang Xiao was resilient. Even though absorbing the Divine Essence Elixir was excruciating, she endured.

Yang Cheng lifted Yang Xiao from the bath, noticing a blue pattern appear on her chest before quickly vanishing.

With no time to ponder it, he wrapped her in a towel, drying her off, and placed her in the warm bed.

"Brother Chen, I’m so cold. Hold me," Yang Xiao said softly, curling into his embrace despite his warmth.

This reaction was normal, her body still adjusting after absorbing the Elixir, causing some adverse effects.

Yang Cheng wrapped her in the blanket tightly, leaving only her bubbly eyes visible.

A moment later, Yang Xiao announced in surprise, "I’m not cold anymore, no need for so many blankets!"

She flung off the blankets, her vitality returning, evidently invigorated.

Seeing her energetic, Yang Cheng was pleased but remained cautious.

This little girl would get nosebleeds from consuming a Hundred-Year Ginseng, and she just took a pill made from Thousand-Year Ginseng; it wouldn’t be long before things calm down.
