The Holy Yao Empress really hadn't felt this relaxed in her body for many years.
Every moment, every second, her body felt as if it carried a burden of a thousand pounds.
Sometimes, when the Yin poison erupted, she truly felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Now, this burden had actually disappeared.
The lightness and ease of her body even made her wonder if this was real.
She had forgotten what it felt like to have a perfectly healthy body.
Especially when mobilizing her spiritual power, she felt even more pain.
"How does Your Majesty feel?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"It's better?"
The Holy Yao Empress looked at Xu Fengqiu in disbelief.
Xu Fengqiu shook his head, "No, it's not better. It's just that the burden of the Yin poison has disappeared these past few years, but the Yin poison is still there."
The Holy Yao Empress mobilized her own spiritual power, her beautiful hair and long dress dancing wildly.
"After mobilizing my spiritual power, the coldness in my body has also disappeared by seventy or eighty percent."
Xu Fengqiu nodded, "Yes, but it's still the same problem. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. This elixir can't even help Your Majesty prolong your life. Once the Yin poison erupts, it will only be more violent than before."
"What if I take this elixir long-term?"
Xu Fengqiu shook his head, "It will still only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Then what is the method that Young Master Xu mentioned?"
Xu Fengqiu said, "Take one of these elixirs every seven days. Afterwards, I will refine another type of elixir, also one every seven days, but…"
"Speak."
Xu Fengqiu said, "Your Majesty, don't forget, the key to resolving this poison is still the Pure Yang Body."
The Holy Yao Empress nodded slightly, her eyes looking at Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu continued, "If this poison hadn't penetrated so deeply, it wouldn't be so difficult. But now, within one hour after taking the second elixir, you must merge with the Pure Yang Body to activate the medicinal properties and stimulate the power of the Pure Yang Body at the same time."
Holy Yao Empress: "…"
"If it's once every seven days, and you can't stop midway, it will probably be cured after seven times. Once you stop, you have to start all over again."
Holy Yao Empress: "…"
Of course, she understood what Xu Fengqiu meant.
As a dignified Empress, she was no longer a young girl.
There was no need to be shy.
Being direct was good.
Moreover, she thought it made sense.
The Pure Yang Body was a special constitution in itself.
The merging of the two of them, combined with Xu Fengqiu's specially made elixir, would allow her to better absorb the power of Pure Yang and fight against the Yin poison.
It was reasonable.
Even if she wasn't so deeply poisoned now.
She would have thought it was reasonable years ago.
The key was that Xu Fengqiu's elixir made her body feel exceptionally relaxed.
She had no choice.
It wasn't that she was afraid of death.
It was just that if she could survive, she would have endless opportunities to take revenge.
Taking a step back, assuming she lost the war between the Holy Yao Empire and the Northern Underworld Empire.
Even if she lost everything.
She was still an Eighth-Order Immortal Emperor!
At least, she had a chance to become a Supreme Immortal Emperor.
When she became a Supreme Immortal Emperor, she could even try to go to the Xuan Yin Palace alone.
Xu Fengqiu pondered, "This is indeed a difficult decision, so it depends on Your Majesty's own decision."
After speaking, Xu Fengqiu prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
The Holy Yao Empress called out to Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu stopped.
The Holy Yao Empress frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter… cannot be known to Qingzhu."
"Very well," Xu Fengqiu nodded.
"When can we begin?" the Holy Yao Empress asked.
Xu Fengqiu: "Anytime."
…
The two walked out of the medicine garden.
Lin Qingzhu bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, Young Master Xu."
The Holy Yao Empress now felt inexplicably awkward when she looked at her disciple.
It just felt very strange.
What should she do now?
It's okay, it's okay, as long as Qingzhu doesn't know.
"Yes, you guys chat," the Holy Yao Empress then walked away.
Xu Fengqiu glanced at her noble and flawless back.
Tsk.
So good.
The Empress was about to be unlocked.
But it wasn't his intention, right?
Xu Fengqiu really could only help her treat it this way.
Of course, there were treatment methods that didn't involve that.
But only this way could the cure rate be as high as 90%.
If not, it would only be 85%.
Don't underestimate this chance.
That might be the difference between heaven and earth.
Yes, that's how it is.
Xu Fengqiu was just being more responsible.
He hoped to be more confident in curing the Holy Yao Empress.
It was definitely not because he was coveting the Empress's body or anything.
Absolutely not!
Lin Qingzhu glanced at the Holy Yao Empress's back.
"Your Majesty seems to have something on her mind. What did Young Master Xu and Your Majesty talk about?" Lin Qingzhu asked.
"Ah… it's nothing. She just asked me to help her with something, about treating the Ancient Heavenly Yin Poison."
Lin Qingzhu was stunned, then asked expectantly, "Can Young Master Xu cure the Ancient Heavenly Yin Poison?"
Xu Fengqiu nodded, "I can try."
Lin Qingzhu's small mouth opened slightly.
"That's great, that's great."
Xu Fengqiu said, "I will come here once every seven days to help Your Majesty detoxify."
"Okay, Qingzhu will cooperate with Young Master Xu."
"Uh, how will you cooperate?"
Lin Qingzhu blinked her beautiful eyes, "If Young Master Xu and Your Majesty need Qingzhu's help, Qingzhu will do her best."
"That's not necessary. If there's a chance in the future, let's do it together."
"Ah?"
What did 'let's do it together' mean?
Lin Qingzhu was stunned for a moment.
But she didn't ask any further.
"Yes."
"I need to refine an elixir. Qingzhu, you can be busy first. I will detoxify Your Majesty today."
"Okay, very well."
…
On the other side.
The Holy Yao Empress arrived at her palace on Emperor Island.
Only she, Lin Qingzhu, and two maids could come here.
"You may leave. You don't need to come over today," the Holy Yao Empress said faintly, with her hands behind her back.
"Yes."
The two maids, who were not weak, respectfully withdrew.
The Holy Yao Empress walked to a huge hot spring in the back.
She took off her veil, revealing a face that would amaze the world and make all things pale in comparison.
Then, she walked barefoot towards the hot spring, her white and slender jade feet exposed.
As she walked, the long dress on her body slowly fell off, revealing her beautiful and flawless fragrant shoulders.
Then, her fair and flawless long legs gently stepped into the hot spring.
The Holy Yao Empress leaned there and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
She was still quite nervous.
She never thought that one day, she would also experience this kind of thing between a man and a woman.
And it was with a junior.
The Holy Yao Empress looked at her beautiful face through the water.
Xi Shengyao was her name.
After taking down the former empire, she also renamed the empire to the Holy Yao Empire, after her own name.
It didn't mean anything else, it was just a casual change. She was too lazy to think.
It wouldn't necessarily attract other people's attention.
This name had once resounded throughout the entire Nine Provinces.
She was the top genius of her generation.
Similar to the current Holy Son of the Immortal Palace, Luo Liuli.
In her generation, there were few who could be compared to her.
Liu Yunyan was one, and the two of them were considered rivals and close friends for many years.
Now, almost the entire Nine Provinces thought that she, Xi Shengyao, was already dead.
Only Lin Qingzhu and Liu Yunyan knew her true identity.
Even her imperial uncle, who had almost no blood relationship with her, didn't know that she was Xi Shengyao.
"Hoo —"
Xi Shengyao leaned in the hot spring and let out a breath.
This hot spring was built with special heaven and earth spiritual objects, and it was a spiritual spring in itself.
She was poisoned by Yin poison, and the fact that she could persist until now was due to this spiritual spring.
Boom —
In the distance, a Pill Lightning fell.
Xi Shengyao looked over.
She knew that Xu Fengqiu's elixir had been refined.
