The Perils Unleashed by the Elixir

"Oh, Little Mo, why are you still so naive like when you were a child? Big brother was just teasing you, why did this little girl's teasing make you so anxious? Don't worry, little sister-in-law, big brother has accepted it. Calling her Xiaobei is not excessive, right?"

"Okay, of course. Big brother, Xiaobei is your younger sister-in-law, you can call her whatever you want."

"You silly boy, look at you, so spineless. Big brother hopes to recover as soon as possible and return to the capital early to handle your marriage. Don't forget, as the prince of Yunmeng, it's customary for the wedding to be held in the capital, and you have to stay in the palace for over a month, and live in the capital at least one year."

"Yes, I know that, please take good care of XiangBei when the time comes, thank you, big brother. Thank you, Your Highness, for personally arranging everything for Mo. Thank you."

"That's a matter for later. What's important now is that Mo's birthday is on August 14th, which is only two or three days away. I need to make some arrangements on the mountain first."

"Is Ah Mo's birthday going to be celebrated on the mountain? I heard from Uncle Zhong that everyone celebrated it at Fuhai Pavilion last year," Xiaobei felt a little surprised at this, thinking about the preparations the old men had made in private.

"This year, with big brother here, we'll follow his lead. It's much safer in the mountains after all. There's been too much going on lately, so we won't make a big fuss. Just a small gathering with a few close friends will do."

"Turning twenty is a big day, and we still need some festivity. Since it's going to be in the mountains, I'll have to give you a big surprise," Xiaobei knew that with Prince Rong's current situation, she could only compromise with Chen Mo.

Thinking of the gift she had prepared, she turned to let shadow guard Hide One Yin Yi pass on the message to Cheng Dian, then turned back to continue the previous topic, "By the way, Brother Rong, we came back this time to try increasing the dosage of the medicinal herbs to see if it could help you. Should we go find Doctor Li and discuss it with him first?" Xiaobei was actually quite speechless about these two brothers discussing marriage matters in front of her, so she just diverted the conversation with Cheng's birthday topic, "Tong Xi, could you please put the silver mirror in my room first, and then come to the Western Medicine Courtyard to help?"

"Alright, XiangBei, Old Master Li and Madam have been talking about you every day. If you don't come back soon, they might have to come down the mountain themselves to see you."

"I'm planning to relocate our entire household to the foot of the mountain. Later, you can directly invite my parents to go to Grandpa's place together."

When they arrived at the western courtyard, old doctor Li Yizheng and Old Master Tong were picking herbs in the courtyard. They greeted XiangBei warmly. Cheng Mo and Rongzhi went in to bathe and came out to find that Mr. and Mrs. Tong and Tong Xi had also arrived.

This time, XiangBei handed over a large jar of air vortex elixir dewdrops from the Jade Snowflake Cave that had been prepared in advance to Cheng Mo. So, after everyone sat down in the room, Cheng Mo took it out and handed it to doctor Li Yizheng. XiangBei knew that this substance would not harm the body, so she encouraged the old doctor to try it.

Since he wanted to increase the dosage recklessly, Old Doctor Li had no great certainty. Moreover, Prince Rong's noble status, combined with the potentially significant implications of the matter he had not yet remembered, made him hesitant. Thus, he made up his mind and drank down the full cup of elixir.

Little did he know that with just one sip, his inner energy surged. Others only saw silver hair threads flying on top of his head, his face flushed, and sweat pouring down like rain, all of them greatly astonished.

Cheng Mo quickly got up and flew over to the couch, holding onto Old doctor Li as they flew over. The two sat cross-legged on the couch. At this moment, Old Li, due to the sudden intake of too much spiritual energy, experienced a sudden surge of internal energy, forcefully expanding his meridians and seeking an outlet in every direction, appearing to be in danger of bursting and dying.

Cheng Mo raised his hands to support Old Li's back, injecting a stream of pure and refined internal energy and vitality into his body, guiding the violently increasing internal energy along his meridians, gradually calming it down, and finally returning it to his dantian's air sea, where it settled.

After a while, Old Li opened his eyes, laughed heartily, and got up to bow to Cheng Mo in gratitude, "Thank you, Prince Cheng, for your help. I didn't expect this medicine to be so powerful. If it weren't for your assistance, the sudden increase in internal energy would have caused me to burst and die. I was reckless this time. But with this fortuitous encounter, I am confident that I can live for another ten years."

"With such dominating spiritual power, this can truly be considered a miraculous elixir. Fortunately, the old physician's martial arts and inner strength far surpass those of ordinary people, otherwise it would have been a close call just now," Cheng Mo thought, feeling a shiver down his spine as he recalled the perilous situation moments ago.
