The Paragon of Pills smiled faintly, as if she were talking about something completely unrelated to her.
"Now, I only have five minutes left to live."
The moment these words were spoken, all the members of the Li Clan felt their bodies sway, as if they were about to faint.
The Paragon of Pills was the Li Family's pill saint, as well as their patriarch. She was their only pillar of support! The Li Family could lose everything. Even if all of their resources were plundered, even if all of their clansmen were reduced to single digits, as long as the Paragon of Pills was present, everything could be restarted.
As long as the Paragon of Pills was present, it didn't matter how much damage the Li Family suffered.
As long as the Paragon of Pills was present, they could still rise again.
On the other hand, no matter how strong the Li Family appeared to be, it was still supported by the Paragon of Pills alone. If anything happened to her, the Li Family's decline was inevitable.
"Patriarch …" Li Yuanhao's voice was choked with sobs.
He wanted to say more, but the Paragon of Pills stopped him.
"There's no need to say more. Don't waste my time.
Actually, with your intellect, you should have guessed everything from the moment I suddenly became strong.
You just didn't want to think about it, didn't want to admit it. "
The Paragon of Pills let out a long sigh.
"Members of the Li Family, hear me. I pass the position of Li Family patriarch to Yuanhao! All matters of the family, big or small, are to follow his orders from now on! Do you understand?! "
The core members of the Li Family all fell to their knees.
"As you command, Lord Pill Saint, we greet the new patriarch!"
In the past, Li Yuanhao would've dreamed of becoming the new patriarch of the Li Family.
But now, he didn't feel the slightest bit of it. All that remained in his heart was grief and confusion.
"Keep your spirits up. Take this command medallion with you.
Remember, this is your responsibility! "
Gu Xuan handed over the Li Family's command medallion.
Li Yuanhao took it, despondent, and clutched it tightly in his hands. Two streams of tears streamed down his face.
His eyes grew increasingly resolute, as if he'd already made a decision in his heart.
Soon, he wiped his tears and knelt before the Paragon of Pills.
"Lord Pill Saint, I will definitely lead the Li Family to rise once more. I won't tarnish the glory of our ancestors or your name!"
The Paragon of Pills laughed heartily and said 'good' three times in a row! An interspatial ring appeared on Li Yuanhao's finger without any warning.
"I will fall, but the Pill Saint's heart will protect the Li Family forever! Now, I have no use for it, so I'll return it to the Ancestor's tomb! "
The Paragon of Pills formed a hand seal with both hands. A translucent, glittering, seven-colored heart flew out of his chest. It was surrounded by Daoist Rhymes, and was still beating.
The heart was actually only the size of a fist, and it was gorgeous and gorgeous. It emanated an alluring sheen that even the Heaven Dao would take notice of.
Everyone who saw it could not help but want to kneel on the ground and worship it.
The members of the Li Clan were already dumbfounded.
No one had ever thought that they would be able to see the Pill Saint's Heart in their lifetime! Just by looking at it, you could brag about it for the rest of your life! "Go."
The Paragon of Pills waved her right hand, and a beam of light streaked across the sky.
The Pill Saint's Heart fell in the direction of the Eastern Wall Pill Saint's tomb and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Xuan did not say anything about it.
He knew very well that the Pill Saint's Heart that fell in the Eastern Wall Pill Saint's tomb was just an illusion. It was not the real Pill Saint's Heart.
The Paragon of Pills had already promised to give him the Pill Saint's Heart.
He and the Paragon of Pills had planned this a long time ago.
"I've already resealed the Pill Saint's Heart. Only the fated ones can find it.
If not, even the Heavenly Dao will not be able to find it.
All members of the Li Clan must cultivate diligently and strive to be the fated one. We must start the third era of the Li Clan with a pill saint! "
The Paragon of Pills spoke passionately.
Li Yuanhao said excitedly, "Don't worry, Lord Pill Saint. We will work hard to cultivate! We will try our best to find the Pill Saint's Heart as soon as possible and bring back the glory of the Eastern Wall Pill Saint! "
"Don't worry, Lord Pill Saint. We will …" The third elder, the fifth elder, and the other core members of the Li Family all said the same thing.
Li Yuanjie was also among them. He said the same thing with tears in his eyes.
Although he lived in the core area of the Li Family, he was not a core member.
Now that he was here with a group of core members, he felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
His future was bright! The Paragon of Pills nodded with a gratified expression.
Finally, his gaze fell on Gu Xuan.
"Junior Brother Gu Xuan, we have had a lot of misunderstandings in the past. However, you have forgiven us and helped the Li Family through this disaster. It is hard to repay your kindness.
I have a gift for you! It is also something left by the Eastern Wall Pill Saint. Although it is not as precious as the Pill Saint's Heart, it will be of great help to your alchemy! "
Gu Xuan was excited.
It was here! It was finally here! Of course, he knew what the Paragon of Pills was going to give him. It was the real Pill Saint's Heart. However, the Pill Saint's Heart would change its appearance and be called the Pure Heart of Dao.
The Paragon of Pills opened her right hand, and a fist-sized, pitch-black, stone-like heart appeared in her palm.
"This is called the Pure Heart of Dao. It is a 'stone heart' created by the Eastern Wall Pill Saint's Heart. I hope you can take good care of it! After I die, the Li Family will depend on you to take care of it. "
The Paragon of Pills handed over the stone heart.
Gu Xuan looked at the black heart and felt like his heart had been shocked.
That fake "Pill Saint's Heart" just now, how beautiful and alluring was it?
But the real Pill Saint's Heart in front of him was so ugly that it looked like a stone. What was the meaning of this?
Wasn't the difference a bit too big?
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with hesitation.
He wondered if the Paragon of Pills was trying to trick him.
The Paragon of Pills winked at Gu Xuan.
"Junior Brother, don't refuse. Hurry up and put it away!"
The Paragon of Pills said telepathically, "Hurry up and put it away. This is the Pill Saint's Heart, a real one.
It doesn't look very convincing on the surface, but it's the real deal. You'll know when you touch it! That fake one had been made to look so gorgeous. Naturally, it was to deceive others.
After all, who would've thought that the real Pill Saint's Heart would be so unremarkable?
If I used the real Pill Saint's Heart to create an illusion and put it in the Patriarch's tomb, who would believe me? "
Gu Xuan thought for a moment, then reached out and took the Pill Saint's Heart.
The Paragon of Pills had no reason to lie to him, nor did he have the guts to do so.
Sure enough, as soon as he touched the Pill Saint's Heart, a mysterious and cold aura came from it.
A ray of light flew out of the Pill Saint's Heart and entered Gu Xuan's forehead.
Gu Xuan's entire body lit up with a holy light, like a god.
Suddenly, Gu Xuan felt like everything around him was getting farther and farther away.
Suddenly, he appeared in a field.
Whoosh whoosh.
A gust of wind blew, causing the grass to sway.
A sense of loneliness enveloped Gu Xuan.
He suddenly felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Gu Xuan scanned his surroundings, trying to figure out what was going on.
Buzz.
At that instant, the space in the wilderness began to tremble and twist. Endless auras of the laws began to gather in the sky like clouds.
Meanwhile …
An ancient book flew out from Gu Xuan's body and floated above his head.
The book was none other than the Compendium of Herbs and Pills! Above the sky, the Daoist Runes of the Laws continued to gather and change their forms.
In the end, an old man with silver hair holding a herb hoe and carrying a basket on his back appeared in the sky.
The old man stared at Gu Xuan and wore a kind smile.
The field was covered in weeds. Countless flowers bloomed, causing a pleasant scent to fill the air.
Gu Xuan stared at the old man. His eyes widened.
"Pill Saint Dongbi!"
