As the pill medicine entered Lan Cai's stomach, it immediately transformed into rich spiritual energy, drilling into her limbs and bones.

It was as if a warm energy was continuously spreading throughout her body from her lower abdomen.

Lan Cai's cheeks blushed slightly, looking at Li Xiaoyao with wonder, she asked, "Xiaoyao, what pill medicine is this? Why do I feel so comfortable?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Don't talk, just close your eyes."

"Hmm." Lan Cai obediently closed her eyes as Li Xiaoyao reached out with his right hand and placed it on her body.

With a mind free of distractions, Li Xiaoyao manipulated spiritual power into her body, cleansing each area that the pill medicine hadn't completely purified.

The process lasted for over half an hour, and Lan Cai gradually drifted to sleep.

Li Xiaoyao withdrew his hand and gently woke her up.

Lan Cai's eyes fluttered open in a daze and she asked, "Is it done?"

"Mhm, go take a shower in the bathroom; you're quite dirty," Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"How is that possible? I just took a shower," Lan Cai mumbled, confused. Looking down at herself, she saw her bath towel covered with black impurities—it was indeed filthy.

"Ah!"

With a soft exclamation, Lan Cai immediately leapt up from the couch.

Minutes later, Lan Cai emerged from the bathroom.

"What on earth is happening?" Lan Cai asked in a bewildered tone.

Li Xiaoyao patted the sofa beside him, and Lan Cai walked over and sat down.

"Do you believe in immortals in this world?" Li Xiaoyao sounded like a fortune teller.

"Immortals?" Lan Cai shook her head firmly: "I don't believe."

Li Xiaoyao didn't bother to explain and released his intent, lifting everything in the house.

In that instant, the small coffee table, cups, kettles, and the TV all floated up, resembling the scenes in mythological TV shows—looking very mysterious.

Lan Cai's tempting red lips parted in disbelief as she witnessed all this.

"Do you believe it now?"

Lan Cai nodded blankly in response, then immediately asked, "Are you an immortal?"

"I am a cultivator," Li Xiaoyao took her hand and said with a seductive voice, "Do you want to be like me?"

This time Lan Cai nodded without hesitation.

Anyone who witnessed such a scene would find it impossible to refuse.

Li Xiaoyao was like a big bad wolf, step by step leading Lan Cai down the wrong path.

"Cultivation is very difficult without guidance. But there are easier methods, such as dual cultivation," he said.

"Dual cultivation? What is that?" Lan Cai asked, somewhat perplexed.

"Dual cultivation is a method that combines inner and outer cultivation techniques; it's quite complex, so I won't elaborate now. Since this is your first encounter with cultivation, I can only introduce you to it quickly through dual cultivation, otherwise, even if you tried on your own, it's doubtful you would be able to enter this realm before your beauty fades away," Li Xiaoyao told her, not exactly deceiving her.

Most people in the world are not suited for cultivation, otherwise martial artists and cultivators wouldn't hold such exalted status.

The advantage of dual cultivation is that one cultivator can bring an ordinary person into this world at an extremely fast pace.

Once you get past this hurdle, it becomes much easier to cultivate.

"Oh, then good, I want to dual cultivate," Lan Cai agreed, still unaware of what dual cultivation specifically entailed.

Li Xiaoyao, already adept at such things, swiftly guided Lan Cai onto the right track, and her spiritual energy completed a Grand Circulation within her body.

Upon her first encounter with cultivation, Lan Cai felt amazed; under Li Xiaoyao's guidance, she circulated her spiritual power, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Is this what it means to be a cultivator?"

Something occurred to Li Xiaoyao and he asked, "Doesn't the Lan Family have any cultivators?"

Lan Cai shook her head: "If you hadn't told me, I would have had no idea what a cultivator is."

"Strange and wondrous indeed." The Lan Family had grown so large, yet there wasn't a single cultivator among them, which was quite unusual.

"However, I've heard from Grandpa that our family has several elders overseas who have helped the family overcome insurmountable difficulties when needed over the years."

"Why didn't you seek their help this time?"

"I'm not sure, Grandpa didn't say," Lan Cai said, her mood dimming slightly. "Grandpa is seriously ill now; I don't know if he can get through this ordeal."

A spark of interest ignited in Li Xiaoyao's mind, and he asked, "How does your grandfather usually treat you?"

"He's very good to me," said Lan Cai. "Ever since my dad mysteriously disappeared and my mom passed away from illness when I was fifteen years old, feeling depressed and despondent, Grandpa has taken care of me all these years."

"Bring me to see your grandfather tomorrow; I can save him," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Really?" Lan Cai's eyes widened both in shock and delight; Li Xiaoyao had given her too many surprises already.

"Not just a person on the brink of death, even if your grandfather were truly dead, I would have ways to bring him back to life." These words were bold, but indeed, Li Xiaoyao had the ability—it would just require some time.

Speaking of resurrection, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of Zhuo Yi.

He thought to himself that he needed to find a way to obtain the medicinal materials that could heal the soul as soon as possible.

Didn't old man Jiang say that there is a sect called Medicine God Valley at Zhongnan Mountain? Perhaps there he could find what he needed.

The night passed without words.

Early the next morning, after a simple meal, the two rented a car from the hotel and drove towards Jindu City Hospital.

Inside a high-level sterile ward at the city hospital, an old man with silver hair and a face covered in liver spots lay on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly shut.

Doctors and nurses dressed in isolation suits came in to check data and make records before leaving.

The Lan Family had arrived early in the morning; earlier that day, they received a call from the doctors saying the old man's condition was very poor, and he might not last through the day, urging them to come sooner.

The Lan Family had come with heavy hearts, and now outside the ward, the place was packed with people. At a rough count, there were about fifty or sixty people, all members of the Lan Family.
