Chapter 620 - 616: Offering the Elixir
```html
Seeing the three leave, Consort Hui let out a sigh of relief.
The two girls, Chu Zhen and Chu Qiao, looked at Chu Liezhao with excitement, giggling foolishly.
Chu Liezhao laughed, "What are you so happy about?"
"Big brother, didn’t you hear what they said? You’re going to have good fortune."
"Their words are just words, nothing more."
"Big brother, it’s the Observatory; their predictions have always been accurate."
"Alright, alright." Chu Liezhao waved lazily, "If they said I’ve been body seized, now that would be interesting."
"Zhao’er, if you’ve truly been body seized, they would certainly say so." Consort Hui said indifferently, "Three years ago, the son of an important minister was body seized by a Heavenly Demon, the Observatory intervened, and both ended up dead."
Chu Liezhao snorted, "These evil demons, don’t they have brains? Don’t they know the Observatory is watching them?"
"The Heavenly Demons are the best at body seizing, no matter how many times they fail, they won’t give up," Consort Hui said, "Always holding onto a fluke mindset."
Qin Ruolan said softly, "For a Heavenly Demon less than First Grade, dead is dead, unable to seize another’s body and live again; it seems a Great Sky Demon has fallen on their side."
Body seizing isn’t easy to execute; for a Heavenly Demon less than First Grade, their soul isn’t strong enough to enter another’s soul, let alone swallow another’s soul. A powerful dragon does not suppress a local snake.
Only the Heavenly Demon Clan and the Yongling Divine Sect can execute the Body Seizing Technique.
The Yongling Divine Sect has rarely used this technique in recent years, only when a First Grade Great Sky Demon of the Heavenly Demon Clan is about to fall, unwilling to die completely, will they use this technique.
These Great Sky Demons, proud and arrogant, disdain to body seize ordinary people, feeling it’s an insult to their noble souls, and insist on body seizing the Imperial Family.
In tens of thousands of years, there have been two successful cases.
"I’d be glad to see all these demon clan members dead!" Consort Hui snorted.
Footsteps sounded outside.
The gray-haired, youthful-looking old eunuch went out, soon returning to report, "Madam, it’s the envoy sent by the Twelfth Princess of the Phoenix Dynasty."
"Hmm—?"
"They’ve come under orders to deliver Spiritual Medicine." The old eunuch lowered his head and eyes.
Consort Hui asked curiously, "What Spiritual Medicine did they deliver?"
"They didn’t say."
"Let the envoy in, only two may enter."
"Yes."
Consort Hui looked at Chu Liezhao, "This Twelfth Princess is quite considerate, knowing to send Spiritual Medicine."
Chu Liezhao snorted, "Her information is quite timely."
Consort Hui was slightly taken aback, frowning slightly.
This Twelfth Princess naturally heard the news from the Phoenix Dynasty.
It’s clear enough that there are plenty of eyes and ears from the Phoenix Dynasty in the Imperial City.
The old eunuch led two middle-aged women inside.
The two women wore green robes, swords at their waists, valiant and elegant, their appearances quite similar.
Evidently, they were twins.
One was slightly taller, the other slightly shorter.
After entering, they clasped their fists in salute and said solemnly, "Lu Caiwei, Lu Caixia, greetings to the Prince Consort, greetings to Consort Hui."
Chu Liezhao sat cross-legged lazily, his face pale and weak, his gaze swept over their waists, seeing their waist badges, he said lazily, "Are you from the Twelfth Princess Mansion?"
"We are deputy stewards of the internal guards of the Princess Mansion, ordered by Her Highness to visit the Prince Consort."
"To see if I’m dead?" Chu Liezhao had a hint of a cold smile on his lips, still lazily saying, "Aren’t you disappointed to see me alive?"
"Her Highness obtained the Great Reverse Returning Pill especially."
Lu Caixia, the slightly taller one, took out a jade bottle from her robes, offering it to Chu Liezhao with both hands.
She was expressionless, evidently quite annoyed.
Lu Caiwei hurriedly said, "As soon as Her Highness heard the news, she was eager with worry and hurriedly obtained this pill from the Phoenix Divine Sect. No matter how severe the injury, taking the Great Reverse Returning Pill can restore it."
"Great Reverse Returning Pill..." Chu Zhiyuan retrieved it from Chu Liezhao’s memory.
As the memory was retrieved, the two memories finally fully merged.
The emotions also completely fused.
At this moment, he was the true Chu Zhiyuan, entirely Chu Zhiyuan.
Previously, there was more of Chu Liezhao’s component; the Heavenly Transmigration Technique is miraculous, concealing oneself perfectly.
Consort Hui said, "The Twelfth Prince has a kind heart!... Zhao’er, hurry and take it!"
This Great Reverse Returning Pill is no less than the Great Bright Heart Protecting Pill as a Divine Pill.
Unexpectedly, the Twelfth Princess actually gifted this pill.
Clearly, she sincerely wants to save Zhao’er’s life.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "I can’t afford what the Twelfth Princess bestows."
Chu Liezhao had great aversion and dislike for this Twelfth Princess.
Feeling a deep disgrace and angered by the Court’s incompetence and the Phoenix Dynasty’s humiliation, he naturally bore a grudge against the Twelfth Princess.
If he directly accepted it without regard for Chu Liezhao’s feelings, it would be too unusual.
It would also be extremely uncomfortable.
After all, he fused with Chu Liezhao’s emotions as well.
"Zhao’er, you’re being stubborn again!" Consort Hui’s face turned cold.
Qin Ruolan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, once you take this pill, all your injuries will quickly recover."
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Recovering slowly isn’t too late."
"Isn’t Your Highness intent on diligent cultivation?" Qin Ruolan gently said, "Using this pill won’t leave old injuries, not using it, it would take half a year to a year to completely heal these injuries."
She shook her head slightly, "By that time, you’d probably be in the Prince Consort Mansion already."
Chu Zhiyuan’s expression shifted slightly.
"Yes, yes, big brother, quickly take it."
Chu Zhen and Chu Qiao hurriedly nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, glanced sideways at Lu Caiwei and Lu Caixia, and said coldly, "Alright."
Lu Caixia hurriedly stepped forward with the jade bottle.
The old eunuch took it, handed it to Consort Hui, who, with a glance, had it passed on to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan coldly glanced at the old eunuch, grabbed the jade bottle with one hand, and opened it directly.
He was filled with disgust for this old eunuch, thinking him untrustworthy and deceitful.
He wanted nothing more than to kick him to death.
The golden Elixir Pill, the size of a Dragon Eye, was wrapped in a layer of wax. Once crushed, a strange fragrance swiftly entered the lungs of everyone around.
Cold, clear, bitter.
It lingered for a long time.
Chu Zhiyuan directly tossed it into his mouth, chewed twice, shook his head with disdain, "What a strange taste!"
The two young women eagerly asked how he felt, if the elixir’s effect had started.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "It’s not that fast... huh, it’s coming!"
He felt the crushed elixir melt into his saliva, becoming a current of cold air.
The cold air spread with lightning speed, like an electric shock, instantly throughout his body.
He couldn’t help but shiver, and then his internal organs started to itch.
The itching grew stronger, making him wish he could reach into his organs and scratch.
His handsome face twisted and turned red.
He gritted his teeth, "Isn’t this poison? Does the Twelfth Princess want to poison me to death?"
Lu Caiwei hurriedly said, "Prince Consort, the Great Reverse Returning Pill is extremely potent, a fierce medicine, naturally able to pull someone back from death."
"This isn’t pulling someone back; it’s dragging someone down!"
Chu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, speaking coldly as his body trembled, covered in sweat in mere moments.
Consort Hui looked at the two women, noticing their calm expressions, only fixed on Chu Zhiyuan.
She let out a sigh of relief and fixed her gaze back on Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan felt like decades passed while enduring the intense itching as if pulled from water.
After what seemed like a long time, the itch suddenly vanished.
He let out a long breath.
Under his Insight, the internal changes were clearly displayed, witnessing the wonders of the Great Reverse Returning Pill.
The injuries to his internal organs and meridians recovered as normal in less than an hour, defying logic.
