Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 451 - 165: I Am Your Best Spiritual Pill. _2

"You..." Mu Lanxin pointed at Wang Mu and said angrily, "Brother Dongfang, I had hoped that by taking this opportunity, we could cultivate the Seven Emotions Divine Skill together. As long as you first reconnected with your feelings for me, I would be able to use the Divine Heart Flame to help you reconstruct your Seven Emotions Sword Heart, achieving the ultimate realm of the Seven Emotions Divine Skill. But now, you couldn’t hold onto your True Heart... being tempted by those two..." She pointed at Wang Mu, unable to finish her words. "Brother Dongfang, just go die! I hate you so much!"

Mu Lanxin’s hands ignited. The next second, fierce flames surged up around the Pill Furnace, coming from all directions, and almost instantly, Wang Mu was engulfed. However, in the instant he was engulfed, Wang Mu saw a graceful figure drifting effortlessly.

The Divine Heart Flame, the unparalleled flame under the heavens. Known to discern the true heart of all beings, it now enveloped Wang Mu but did not make full contact. In that instant, Wang Mu’s consciousness thundered, and the scenes around him disappeared rapidly, like the tide.

When Wang Mu opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar Medicine King Valley.

But... is this Medicine King Valley after the anomaly of the heavens and earth? Wang Mu was stunned. Is this a world constructed within the Divine Heart Flame?

Mo Xilan’s cultivation of the Divine Heart Flame over countless years was certainly not something that could be compared to the True Yang Star Flame within Wang Mu’s body.

Wang Mu fell silent, drifting through Medicine King Valley like a Wandering Soul. Before long, he saw a familiar figure. It was Mo Xilan. In a light blue long gown, she lay listlessly in the Dan Room, staring blankly at the Pill Furnace, saying nothing. This time, it must have been after I stormed the Gate of Apocalypse... Wang Mu watched. As time passed and seasons changed, the figure lay there motionless, lifeless like a heartless doll.

Until one day, an elderly man appeared. He said, "Xin Lan, I have some news about Dongfang Mu." The old man was the reigning Medicine King of Medicine King Valley, named Yao Chen, and also Mo Xilan’s Master.

The doll-like Mo Xilan, upon hearing this, suddenly brightened her eyes. She quickly stood up and asked anxiously, "Master, where is he? He said he would come to find me in Medicine King Valley..."

The old man pondered for a few seconds, then said, "With the current anomaly of the heavens and earth and the rebuilding of the rules, the outside world is in chaos. This is an opportunity for the future. As the contemporary hero and leader of the righteous, he holds a divine mission and cannot return yet. He still has important tasks. But you can’t be so dejected!"

The elder spoke earnestly, "He couldn’t bear to see you like this. With your exceptional talent in the Alchemy Dao, you are surely destined for great achievements! Imagine, if he returns and finds that you’ve been standing still, wouldn’t that disappoint him? Do you want to let him down?"

Mo Xilan was stunned, her voice much softer as she murmured, "No, I don’t want to..."

"That’s right," the elder said. "Don’t worry, he... he will come back; he will come to find you. However, you must also make an effort. With this turn of events, we old folks are no longer up to the task, but your road ahead is still long. Understand?"

"I understand." Mo Xilan nodded firmly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mu felt a wave of complex emotions. He had a millennium of lost time, and so did these people. Many characters in the game were actually quite distinctive. For example, this highly respected Medicine King of Medicine King Valley was an old legend with a tumultuous life. He established Medicine King Valley, never had any descendants, and devoted himself to studying the Qihuang Pill Dao. He treated Mo Xilan like his own daughter, passing on all his skills to her. And then... she was lured away by Dongfang Mu.

In the game, this senior didn’t say much. However, indirectly, through Mo Xilan, he helped transform Medicine King Valley into a sanctuary for the protagonist. In the latter stages, almost any life-saving mission depended on the support of Medicine King Valley. By the late stages of the game, however, the old man was already on his deathbed. After the anomaly of the heavens and earth, it likely wasn’t long before he passed away.

At this time, Mo Xilan was likely in a state of shock due to Dongfang Mu’s disappearance, unable to pick herself up. Thanks to the explanations—or perhaps the deceit—of the Old Medicine King, she gradually regained her spirits. What followed were scenes of Mo Xilan immersing herself in the Alchemy Dao. Whether it was due to her talent or some other boon, in just a few years, she had already far surpassed the Old Medicine King.

And by this time, the last wisp of life of the Old Medicine King was about to fade.

「On the sickbed.」

"Master... You’ve already taken Spirit Pills to lengthen your life... Why... Why is it still like this?" Mo Xilan was devastated, her face streaked with tears.

The Old Medicine King sighed lightly and said, "Indeed, why is it like this?

"Child, do you know that although our Medicine King Valley has saved so many people... we cannot even save ourselves? We have saved countless people, yet many of them were destined by the heavens to die, and we revived them instead.

"If you were the heavens, would you punish those of us who break the rules?"

Hearing this, Mo Xilan was taken aback.

The Old Medicine King continued, "Child. King Yan wants someone to die at the third watch, but we kept them alive till the fifth watch. The more skilled we are in our medical skills, the more we are challenging the heavens and earth.

"Therefore, for our lineage, surviving longer than our due time is harder than ascending to the heavens; just being alive is already not easy.

"The Elixirs that increase lifespan? Those are items against heaven’s will. If ordinary people take them, they might have some miraculous effects, but for us, they are truly the most useless items."

Lying on the sickbed, the Old Medicine King revealed the secret of their lineage to Mo Xilan, "Xin Lan, you possess great Qi Fortune, unlike us. The Divine Skill you cultivate grants you special abilities that allow you to adapt to this world..."
