73: Chapter 73 A Thousandfold Return: The Qilin Elixir of Immortality!

Su Yuxi was stunned.

She looked at the precious lotus blooming with nine-colored radiance, then at Lin Yi's calm gaze.

"This is an emperor-grade peak divine medicine, you..."

"Stop! This item is of great use to your Innate Dao Fetus."

Lin Yi interrupted her.

"It can not only repair the residual Dao wounds in your body but even allow your Saint Body to directly step into the realm of Minor Achievement!"

"Refine it first; I will act as your Protector."

Faced with Lin Yi's forceful gift, Su Yuxi remained silent for a long while.

Her mind was in a mess!

From the chaos origin to the supreme bone.

From the ancient divine source to the current emperor heart lotus.

This young man's heart was entirely filled with her.

Every time, he kept the best things for her.

All of this indicated that she was the most important person in his heart.

Yes, it must be so!

At this thought, Su Yuxi reached out her jade-like hand and took the precious lotus.

The moment her fingertips touched the petals, a wave of gentle energy surged along her arm and into her body.

"Thank you, Lin Yi."

Her voice was very soft, so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

Lin Yi smiled and said no more.

Chu Wanqing watched this scene from the side, her small mouth pouting.

But it only pouted for a moment before breaking into a grin again.

"Sister Yu Xi, refine it quickly! Once you're stronger, we'll beat up that stinky turtle together!"

Shen Qingyue also nodded.

"I will help you protect the surrounding Spiritual Qi so it doesn't leak out."

Su Yuxi looked at the people around her, an indescribable warmth welled up in her heart.

She no longer hesitated, sat down cross-legged, held the Ancient Imperial Heart Lotus in her palm, and began refining it.

Nine-colored radiance enveloped her entire being.

The medicinal power turned into a trickling stream, pouring into her Meridians, bones, and divine sea.

Nourished by the medicinal power, the Innate Dao Fetus began to undergo a frantic transformation.

The hidden injuries remaining in the depths of the Dao Embryo were repaired one by one.

Behind her, a phantom of an unparalleled Empress slowly emerged.

The phantom's outline went from blurry to clear, eventually merging with Su Yuxi's figure.

The Aura of the Innate Dao Fetus surged at an incredible speed.

Lin Yi stood to the side, arms crossed, calmly watching everything.

Xu Chen squatted nearby, a piece of grass in his mouth, forgetting even to munch on his spiritual fruit.

"Tsk tsk, with Senior Sister Yu Xi's Aura, she's probably going to Breakthrough directly to the Venerable Realm, right?"

His voice wasn't loud when he said this.

But all the Prodigies in the valley who hadn't left yet heard him.

An emperor-grade peak divine medicine.

He had picked it casually.

Then turned around and gave it to a woman.

He gave it away!

Just like that!

And it was an emperor-grade peak!

The corners of several Prodigies' mouths twitched a few times.

Their mental state completely collapsed.

Meanwhile, in a shadow in the distance.

Three figures were hiding behind a huge rock, staring intently in this direction.

Wang Teng, Xuan Ye, and Chu Ningshuang.

None of the three had a single uninjured spot on their bodies.

Most of Wang Teng's Daoist robe was in tatters, and there was a clear palm print on his face.

Xuan Ye was even worse off, with several broken ribs, walking hunched over.

Chu Ningshuang was slightly better, but while passing through the killing formation in the mist, a layer of skin had been sliced off her left arm.

The three had followed all the way here, nearly losing their lives in that misty area.

If it hadn't been for the life-saving Talisman Wang Teng carried from his father, and Chu Ningshuang's research into Imperial Rank Restrictions.

The grass on their graves would likely be a meter high by now.

At this moment, they had witnessed the entire process.

The scene of Lin Yi obtaining the emperor-grade peak divine medicine and giving it to Su Yuxi.

The expressions of the three were spectacular to the extreme.

The corner of Wang Teng's eye twitched wildly.

"An emperor-grade peak divine medicine... he just gave it away like that?"

Xuan Ye leaned against the rock, panting heavily, and muttered.

"A love-brain, he'll never amount to anything!"

Chu Ningshuang said coldly, "Hmph, just a pretty boy who only knows how to please women, nothing to fear!"

Although they said that.

But all three of them had very ugly expressions.

Because they all knew in their hearts.

Lin Yi wasn't a love-brain.

He was just so strong that he could give things away as he pleased.

This was much scarier than being a love-brain.

Just then, the phenomenon on Su Yuxi's side grew larger and larger.

The Empress phantom completely solidified, and the Imperial Dao pressure spread out.

Her Dao wounds were completely repaired, and her Innate Dao Fetus officially stepped into Minor Achievement.

The entire valley was trembling.

Su Yuxi slowly opened her eyes.

In those beautiful eyes, there was a hint of depth and majesty that hadn't been there before.

She stood up, feeling the earth-shaking changes within her body.

Her cultivation had directly broken through to the Venerable Realm.

Her Dao Embryo had reached Minor Achievement.

Her Dao wounds were all gone.

"How is it?" Lin Yi asked.

Su Yuxi looked at him, her lips moving slightly.

"Very good, thanks to you."

Her voice was calm.

But the flash of soft light deep in her eyes did not escape Lin Yi's notice.

At that moment, a long-awaited notification sound rang in Lin Yi's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gifting the emperor-grade peak divine medicine "Ancient Imperial Heart Lotus"; the bound female lead's favorability has increased significantly!]

[Critical hit triggered—Ten Thousand-Fold Return!]

[Reward obtained—Kirin Immortal Medicine (Low Grade Immortal Medicine)!]

Ten thousand-fold!

Kirin Immortal Medicine!

Lin Yi's pupils constricted slightly, and his mind was shaken.

Giving away an emperor-grade peak and receiving a Low Grade Immortal Medicine in return.

The chasm between the Imperial Rank and the Immortal Rank—even a typical thousand-fold return might not be able to bridge it.

But the ten thousand-fold critical hit had directly pierced through this natural chasm.

This was an Immortal Medicine.

Looking at the entire Desolate Region, Immortal Medicines were things that only existed in legends.

Let alone young Prodigies, even those old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years had mostly only heard of them.

Few people had actually seen one; they could be counted on one hand.

And now, an Immortal Medicine was lying quietly in his Storage Ring.

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled slightly.

A huge profit!

"Oh, right."

Xu Chen suddenly leaned in from the side and lowered his voice.

"Senior Brother Lin, did you notice? There are three rats hiding behind that large rock to the rear side!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's lips curled slightly.

"I saw them."

"Let them keep lying there."

He glanced at the three figures hidden in the shadows, a hint of playfulness in his gaze.

"Anyway, the good show is still to come."

"But before that, I need to refine the item I just got."

"You guys keep an eye out for me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen immediately perked up and pressed for details:

"Senior Brother Lin, what treasure did you get again? Was it from the Stele Forest?"

Su Yuxi had just finished refining the emperor heart lotus and was in high spirits.

"Don't ask blind questions. I'll do it!"

Chu Wanqing patted her chest and said in a delicate voice:

"Hmph! With me here, no one will even think of getting close to Brother Lin Yi!"

Shen Qingyue didn't speak, but silently set up a Spiritual Qi barrier around them.

Xu Chen chuckled, sat down on the ground, and looked around with his arms crossed.

"Come on, whoever dares to come over, this young master will be the first to blast them to death!"

Lin Yi stopped talking and sat down cross-legged.

Then, he took out an immortal fruit half the size of a fist, radiating a pale golden light, from his Storage Ring.
