Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Inside the box were some Elixirs, but they seemed to have been stored for too long and had expired.

The moment he took them out, the Elixirs crumbled on their own.

"I wonder how old these Elixirs are."

Seeing this, Qing Lian couldn't help but remark, "Elixirs usually have a long shelf life. For them to just crumble like this is incredible."

"Good thing this Talisman is still usable."

Xu Lei looked around. "Looks like we still got something out of this. Hmm... what's this? This looks like a bottle of Spiritual Liquid!"

The small bottle contained the Spiritual Liquid, which was brimming with energy.

However, it wasn't the same kind of Primordial Liquid that Xu Lei had obtained before.

At first glance, he didn't know what it was.

For now, he didn't dare to absorb it recklessly.

But he had a feeling it was something good.

"These Jade Scrolls... let me see what kind of techniques they contain!"

At that moment, Qing Lian picked up the Jade Scrolls, but her face quickly turned beet red. "How can it be so indecent—"

Xu Lei took them and saw that they were related to male-female Dual Cultivation.

He instantly understood. It was possible that the Ancient Immortal had focused on this area of Cultivation.

Of course, it wasn't a good idea to stand around inspecting their haul.

So Xu Lei quickly put everything away.

After all, many of King Yu's men, who had been brought over earlier to do the digging, were still in the manor.

Night soon fell.

Xu Lei and Qing Lian returned to the Yu Prince's Mansion.

They were now living directly in the Prince's Mansion.

However, they each had their own separate courtyard.

The Prince's Mansion grounds were vast.

They were almost the size of a university campus back on Earth.

So it wasn't an issue at all.

"Senior, my wound... it's hurting a little again."

That day, Xu Lei was in his study, researching the items he had obtained.

His main focus was the bottle of Spiritual Liquid.

Since he couldn't figure out what it was,

Xu Lei had applied a single tiny drop to a rat.

He noticed that the rat's Life Force seemed to have become more vigorous.

Xu Lei simply kept it in a cage,

observing the rat to see if there were any side effects.

He didn't expect Qing Lian to show up again, her face flushed red.

She was acting shy and awkward.

"Come in."

Xu Lei said bluntly, his face devoid of expression, "I've told you before, I'm just a ten-year-old boy right now."

"There's no need to be so bashful in front of me!"

"If you want treatment, come in right now. Come here and sit on my lap."

Qing Lian's face was beet red, but she didn't dare to object and walked in silently.

She sat on Xu Lei's lap.

Xu Lei was sitting on a chair.

His small, ten-year-old body held Qing Lian's soft, girlish frame.

"I'll start healing you now. Are you ready?" Xu Lei then looked at Qing Lian and asked.

"Y-Yes, I'm ready," Qing Lian said. "Senior, I... I just took a bath."

"Very good," Xu Lei nodded. "And I just washed my hands."

After finishing his experiment and locking the rat in its cage, he had indeed gone to wash his hands.

So, without any further ado, Xu Lei's hand went straight to Qing Lian's smooth skin.

He began channeling the Phoenix True Flame Power to heal her, continuing to refine the residual red energy substance inside her body.

Qing Lian, her face red, sat there obediently.

She silently endured Xu Lei's constant stroking of her wound.

From various angles and with varying degrees of force, he continuously used the Phoenix True Flame Power to disperse the strange energy at the site of her wound.

Xu Lei didn't pay any mind to how Qing Lian was doing.

As he treated Qing Lian, it was as if he were polishing walnuts—a task performed without much emotion.

After all, Xu Lei was just in the body of a ten-year-old boy.

He didn't have many other thoughts on the matter.

His eyes remained fixed on the rat in the iron cage before him.

After a while,

Xu Lei suddenly felt something wet on his hand. He turned his head and saw that Qing Lian was crying.

'Her tear ducts are really something else.'

However, Xu Lei neither stopped the treatment nor wasted any words on her.

He simply reached out and wiped the tears from her face.

Then he went back to treating her as if he were polishing walnuts.

After all, talking more right now would be useless.

There was no other Dharma Gate that could cure the poison.

And Xu Lei's Phoenix True Flame required physical contact to work.

「Three days later.」

After observing the rat for three days,

Xu Lei found that there was nothing wrong with it; in fact, it was full of life and vigor.

So, Xu Lei had King Yu's men bring him a criminal.

Then he administered a small drop to the man.

After all, experimenting on a rat wasn't necessarily accurate. Perhaps the rat's mind had gone mad, but it wasn't outwardly visible.

That's why Xu Lei needed to test it on a human.

But after the test, he found the criminal was also full of life and vigor.

And his spirits were high.

Only then did he confirm that the Spiritual Liquid was safe.

Just as Xu Lei was observing the male criminal in front of him,

Qing Lian walked over again.

Without a word, Xu Lei pulled her over.

He had her lie down in front of him and once again reached for her skin.

He once again channeled the Phoenix True Flame Power to detoxify her.

Of course, today, Qing Lian did not shed any tears.

She just bit her lip, silently enduring the sensation of being detoxified by Xu Lei.

「More than ten days later.」

The male criminal was still fine.

Xu Lei finally confirmed that the Spiritual Liquid was completely safe.

He then had the man taken away.

The fellow was actually due to be beheaded a few days ago.

Xu Lei had let him live a few extra days.

"Don't feel so wronged."

Afterward, Xu Lei said to Qing Lian, "I'm healing you and curing your poison, yet you're here every day, acting all wronged and crying your eyes out."

"You make it seem like I'm molesting you, like I'm some great pervert."

"I'm helping you, okay?"

"But, I won't hold it against you."

"That Spiritual Liquid we got from the Underground Palace earlier... I think it might actually be useful!"
