Wang Mu frowned slightly, unable to understand.
"The golden Spirit Pill within my body..."
"The Fla Spirit Pill," the woman pursed her lips. "It’s a Treasure Pill the elder ancestor created by fusing countless Spirit Pills with the Divine Heart Fla, warming and nurturing it within her own body. To save you, she temporarily placed it inside your body."
"To use your own body as a Dan... you’re truly audacious, aren’t you?"
Wang Mu glanced at her and said, "Where is that elder ancestor of yours?"
"Ah, you’ve started to miss her already?" Lan Shimu covered her mouth and chuckled. "It seems that in your heart, the elder ancestor is even more important than your own life, huh?"
"..." Wang Mu.
"I just want to ask for so clarity," said Wang Mu.
"No need. I am the elder ancestor’s proudest and closest disciple," Lan Shimu said. "You can ask anything you want to know. The elder ancestor won’t see you for now; she has matters to attend to and needs to go into seclusion."
Wang Mu took another look at her and could only ask, "What exactly is happening inside my body?"
"What’s happening?" Lan Shimu smiled faintly. "You won’t die, at least. You have a great fate. The elder ancestor values you highly. This Fla Spirit Pill is her life’s essence. If placed in the outside world, a wisp of its dicinal power would be enough to regenerate the physical body of a Divinity Transformation elder."
"Now that the whole thing is placed inside your body... What, aren’t you moved?"
"..." Wang Mu.
"As for your Cultivation..." Lan Shimu waved her hand. "Don’t worry. Just recuperate for a while, and with the help of the Fla Spirit Pill, you will recover. Besides, you possess the Heaven and Earth Divine Fla. You’ve refined this Divine Fla into a Golden Core, completing the third Golden Core in your body. However..."
"However what?"
"However, since this Golden Core was cultivated along with the Fla Spirit Golden Core, its power is too formidable. You can’t control it yourself and can’t use it for the ti being. If you want to use it, you’ll need the elder ancestor’s help."
Wang Mu thought, If only it were that simple.
"Is she really alright?" asked Wang Mu.
"If she weren’t, could you still be standing here?" Lan Shimu said.
Wang Mu frowned slightly, a sense of unease washing over him. This was especially true concerning the Fla Spirit Pill inside his body. Yet, he felt as if he himself had no major problems. His mory was also intact; his body just felt a bit weak.
"When can she co out?" Wang Mu looked at Lan Shimu.
"Oh?" Lan Shimu stood up. "You want to see the elder ancestor?"
"What else?"
"But the elder ancestor doesn’t want to see you for now," said Lan Shimu. "Are you in such a hurry to leave Dan King Sect? Do you want to go see another old fla, or do you plan to visit other old flas first?"
"..." Wang Mu.
"The elder ancestor said..." Lan Shimu suddenly spoke, "From now on, you are her Spirit Pill, and you cannot leave."
"When you are like , the elder ancestor will co to see you."
"How old are you?" Wang Mu asked.
"Over a thousand years old. I am the very first disciple the elder ancestor took in," Lan Shimu said.
"So, I have to be over a thousand years old before she can co out?" Wang Mu smiled.
Lan Shimu took out a Spirit Pill and held it in her hand:
"This is a Ti Erosion Pill. Consuming one can reduce your Life Span by five hundred years. If you eat two, you would be about my age. If you’re anxious to see the elder ancestor, go ahead and eat them."
"However, years can’t be reclaid, and Life Span cannot be reversed. Once consud, it’s irreversible."
"If you wish to change back, it will be practically impossible."
"Two pills an a thousand years will pass. Your aptitude and talent will all turn to nothingness during that ti."
"Everything will cease to exist."
Wang Mu walked over, grabbed the elixir, and swallowed it directly.
Seeing this, Lan Shimu’s expression turned complex.
As the elixir slid down his throat, it transford into a peculiar fla. This fla burned throughout Wang Mu’s body, causing him to itch and heat up all over. The Heart Fla Spirit Pearl rapidly unleashed an imnse amount of dicinal power, accelerating his physical recovery.
Streams of divine light gradually started to erge from him.
"Does it taste good?" asked Lan Shimu.
Wang Mu was silent for a few seconds before looking at her and saying, "The Spirit Pills of the Little Divine Doctor are as magical as ever. Impressive."
"What Little Divine Doctor?" Lan Shimu turned around and shook her head. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
Wang Mu said, "Nothing. It’s just that I once told a Little Divine Doctor that if there ca a day when we both grew old, we would be buried together."
"..."
"Brother Dongfang, I didn’t expect you to still rember," Lan Shimu said, her back to Wang Mu. Her voice beca clear and crisp, yet it was also tinged with the despondency of old age, a stark contradiction.
Wang Mu watched her, thinking, This must be Mo Xilan’s true form.
She was different from the Mu Lanxin he knew before, and also unlike the Mo Xilan he had first t. Her true form... like Miss You’s, was not in a normal state.
Normally, let alone Ascension Experts, even those at the Foundation Establishnt level can maintain their appearance at a fixed baseline. Even a Cultivator who was truly centuries old could maintain a constant apparent age, such as middle-aged, elderly, or youthful. Even if their Life Span was nearing its end, they should be able to maintain a consistent appearance.
Unless they entered a new Realm very late in life. Soone like Granny Gu, for instance, might have only stepped into Divinity Transformation or Crossing Tribulation at a very advanced age. Consequently, her appearance would be fixed at that age, making her look very old. But in reality, it would be quite easy for Granny Gu to regain a youthful appearance; the change would be simple.
Given Mo Xilan’s personality, she would never willingly appear as an old woman. Her current appearance could only an she had been forced to beco like this.
"Seeing like this, do you want to leave imdiately?" Mo Xilan said. "Compared to your exceptionally beautiful Miss You, or the seductive and charming Mu Hongyuan, I am far inferior."
