Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen responded to the imperial physician at the Imperial Physician
Hospital, asserting that while she didn’t possess an Immortal Pill at the moment, she remained confident in her ability to acquire one with a stroke of
luck.
Her quest led her deep into the heart of Mount Daling, where she quickly located two Immortal Pill plants. Regrettably, she had already depleted both of them for her needs.
Upon receiving Qin Zhenzhen’s message, the imperial physicians collectively displayed concern. In the remote mountainous region within Meijiang Prefecture City’s jurisdiction, the landscape teemed with valuable medicinal herbs but also harbored significant peril. Not only were there ferocious beasts and the world’s deadliest snakes, but the area was also tainted with a subtle yet pernicious miasma that could poison unsuspecting victims. The odds of survival for anyone venturing in were slim, yet Qin Zhenzhen seemed to mention it nonchalantly.

As expected, the Empress Dowager pressed them to procure an Immortal Pill.
Their current recourse was to earnestly explain the formidable challenges inherent in obtaining such a rare and elusive elixir.
However, upon hearing the imperial physician’s explanations, the Empress Dowager’s demeanor underwent an abrupt transformation.
“Bring Miss Qin here!”
A brief interval later, Qin Zhenzhen was summoned once more for further interrogation.
She reiterated her previous statement, “I have indeed exhausted all the Immortal Pills in my possession. I used them to craft several types of potent remedies, each of which boasts remarkable efficacy. Hence, our supply of painkillers is quite limited.”
“I acquired these Immortal Pills deep within Mt. Daling, and they tend to appear simultaneously. If you happen to be fortunate, unearthing them won’t prove too challenging.”
“Yet, luck remains an indispensable factor in this endeavor.”
“I must emphasize that I’ve ventured there on three separate occasions since then, yet I haven’t encountered them again.”
“I’ve come to realize the Immortal Pill possesses a remarkably versatile range of applications, proving miraculous in almost any medicinal concoction.”
“As of now, I still possess three painkillers. One has already been taken by the Empress Dowager, leaving two remaining.”
As Qin Zhenzhen spoke, she produced one of the pills.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager’s countenance darkened noticeably.
Initially, Qin Zhenzhen had offered a glimmer of hope, only to then bluntly reveal that there were only two of these extraordinary painkillers left.
Nevertheless, she carried on, seemingly unfazed by the Empress Dowager’s expression, and presented another pill formula.

“I invite the imperial physician to inspect it.”
Imperial Physician Yang accepted the formula with a noticeable tremor in his hand.
The formula retained its complexity, comprising 24 medicinal ingredients, and, just like the painkiller recipe, necessitated the inclusion of two sets of male and female components, in addition to the elusive Immortal Pill. Empress Dowager inquired, “What is your assessment of this recipe?”
Imperial Physician Yang replied hesitantly, “This pill formula is remarkably intricate, and, well… it hinges on obtaining the Immortal Pill, which is a rather challenging endeavor.”
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager couldn’t suppress her frustration and slammed her hand on the table, exclaiming, “Regardless of its difficulty, we must procure it! Otherwise, what purpose do you serve?”
Imperial Physician Yang shot a resentful glance at Qin Zhenzhen and continued, “Empress Dowager, please compose yourself. I will certainly dispatch someone to search for it.”
“But, in my opinion, Miss Qin has already embarked on this quest once. With her as our guide, we could potentially locate it much more swiftly.”
He couldn’t help but contemplate dragging Qin Zhenzhen into the situation, knowing that if they failed to secure the Immortal Pill, she would not escape the consequences.
However, to his surprise, Qin Zhenzhen sneered, remarking, “Imperial Physician Yang, are you suggesting that you personally intend to venture into Mount Daling in pursuit of the Immortal Pill?”
