Meng Jing was extremely nervous, her small hands unsure of where to go.
"Is he really going to do it here? What if someone bursts in and sees?"
"Ahhh, so embarrassing..."
Suddenly, Meng Jing remembered the pills in the cauldron hadn't been taken out.
She pushed Su Yang away and scooped up three milky white pills.
They were still warm to the touch, and a rich medicinal fragrance filled her nostrils.
Meng Jing shivered all over, a look of extreme enjoyment on her face.
"Is this the Longevity Pill? Just smelling it, I can't feel tired anymore."
Su Yang was speechless, he had failed again, but he didn't give up.
As long as Meng Jing didn't resist, it meant she also desired it in her heart.
"Jingjing, have you had someone test this pill?"
Meng Jing stuck out her tongue. "I tested it myself, but the pills I made back then weren't as good as these."
"Then how were the effects of the Longevity Pill? Also, aren't you too bold? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned by a refining error?"
Su Yang gently tapped Meng Jing's nose with his finger. This girl was truly skilled and daring.
"I was too excited then and didn't think much before testing the pill."
Meng Jing lifted her sleeve, revealing her fair and rosy skin.
"Here, look, my skin is better than before, my cheeks are rosy and radiant, haven't I gotten younger?"
Su Yang felt her skin and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, it's as smooth and tender as freshly made tofu, even more elastic."
"Hmph! You're taking advantage of me again, you're never serious!"
Meng Jing pouted charmingly but let him hold her.
"Do you want to try the effect of the Longevity Pill?"
"Fine, if anything happens, you have to take full responsibility!"
Before she could reply, Su Yang swallowed the Longevity Pill.
The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm medicinal liquid that flowed through his meridians and finally gathered at his dantian.
All martial artists have a dantian. The area three inches below the navel felt warm and comfortable.
After a few minutes.
Su Yang looked at the calluses on his hands, and the scars from sword cuts all fell off, replaced by tender white skin.
He looked at the glass mirror in the distance, his face also visibly younger.
The effect of the Longevity Pill was eternal youth, increased lifespan, and the shedding of mortal impurities.
At this moment, a foul odor permeated the air.
Su Yang looked down and saw small specks of dirt seeping out from his hands.
It seeped out from the bones, expelled through the pores to the outside.
"Ugh, I forgot to tell you, you need to take a bath immediately after taking the pill, otherwise it will be very smelly!"
Meng Jing covered her nose. When she took the pill, a lot of impurities had also been expelled from her body.
"Damn it, where am I supposed to bathe?"
"Seventh floor, you go yourself!"
Meng Jing pushed him downstairs. In just a moment, the entire top floor was filled with the smell.
Helpless, Su Yang hurried down to the seventh floor, found the bathroom, and washed away the dirt.
...
Meng Jing carefully packed the other two Longevity Pills into a small box.
She propped her chin on her hand and fell into thought. The pills this time were even better than before.
But she always felt that the medicinal efficacy was far from the standard described in the books.
"Should I find an old person to test it? Can it reverse aging?"
Meng Jing tapped the table with her jade-like hand. She wanted to continue refining pills, but she was short of several rare medicinal ingredients.
She didn't know where to buy them, as these ingredients were priceless and unavailable.
"Oh dear, I wonder how long that Su Yang will take to bathe, he's so slow and hasn't come up yet."
At this moment, Su Yang, after bathing, remembered that this was not his home.
No one had prepared clothes for him, and his dirty clothes were all wet.
"Forget it, I'll have Heizi buy me a set."
Su Yang, wrapped in a towel, hurried back to the top floor.
"Ah... you pervert, what do you want?"
Su Yang, who suddenly rushed up naked, startled Meng Jing into a panic.
"My clothes are dirty and wet, I'm going to have someone buy me a set of clothes."
Su Yang took out his phone and quickly instructed Jiang Hei to buy a set of clothes.
After doing all this, he sat by the stove to warm himself.
As the New Year approached, the weather had become very cold.
"Are you cold? Have some hot tea, don't catch a cold."
Meng Jing handed him hot tea and added a lot of fuel to the stove.
The heat quickly filled the room, and Su Yang felt much warmer.
"No, why do I feel so hot all over? Is your Longevity Pill a semi-finished product?"
Meng Jing was stunned. "I don't know, but I didn't have any adverse reactions after taking it!"
At this moment, Su Yang slowly stood up, his bath towel around his waist held high.
This scene made Meng Jing's mouth gape open, her eyes wide, unable to believe what she was seeing was humanly possible.
If this were on her, could she handle it?
Meng Jing swallowed and turned her head away, pretending not to see anything.
Su Yang said in a low voice, "No, it's getting hotter and hotter, you have to take full responsibility."
"How... how do I take responsibility?"
"Come here."
"No, this will kill people!"
"I'll be right outside, otherwise I'll burn to death!"
"Okay, then remember not to mess around."
Meng Jing gritted her teeth, feeling strange, her heart pounding non-stop.
Su Yang let out a low growl, and just as he was about to go further, someone rushed in from outside.
Jiang Hei was carrying a brand new Versace suit and happened to witness the astonishing scene.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yang, I didn't expect you guys..."
Meng Jing quickly hid in Su Yang's arms and explained, "It's nothing between him and me."
Jiang Hei looked at the tissues on the table, all stained red.
"It's okay, I can pretend I didn't see the tissues on the table."
Jiang Hei quickly put down the suit and fled downstairs as if escaping for his life.
Meng Jing twisted Su Yang's arm forcefully. "It's all your fault for insisting I take responsibility. Now it's too late to explain, even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
"Then let's just go all the way, we'll continue!"
Su Yang lifted Meng Jing's leg and continued with the previous steps.
"Don't do this, I'm really scared!"
"Don't be afraid! Linglong could accept it, you're her good sister, you shouldn't be worse than her."
Meng Jing was surprised. Duan Linglong had actually developed to that point with Su Yang?
After a while.
The two of them smelled a faint fragrance and felt the wonder of life.
It was as refreshing and exhilarating as being reborn, without any worries or troubles, completely immersed in it.
Meng Jing took a deep breath, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.
Su Yang looked down and heard a series of crackling sounds from the furnace.
As time passed, fine sweat dripped from his back and forehead.
With a soft pop, Meng Jing's brow furrowed, and she gasped.
At the same time.
A familiar mechanical voice sounded in Su Yang's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully cherishing Meng Jing, gaining ten years of lifespan!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully cherishing Meng Jing, rewarded with one (True Longevity Pill)!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, Meng Jing's satisfaction with you has reached 100%, rewarded with a random medicinal ingredient gift box!]
Taking advantage of the post-coital clarity, Su Yang asked, "System, what's this True Longevity Pill?"
[Host, the Longevity Pill you just took was a semi-finished product, it can only increase your lifespan by about fifty years!]
[After taking the True Longevity Pill, the user will be immortal unless they commit suicide or are killed, and there will be no side effects!]
"So, that means the pill I just swallowed has side effects?"
This scared Su Yang. It was indeed difficult to refine the Longevity Pill.
[Host, the side effect of the Longevity Pill you swallowed is immense strength, unparalleled vigor, comparable to a fierce beast. This state will last for about five hours.]
"Damn it, then won't Meng Jing go crazy?"
[Host, I cannot answer this question!]
"Wait, what about that medicinal ingredient gift box?"
[Random draw, you will receive some medicinal ingredients, they could be common or rare!]
With that, the system disappeared.
Su Yang scratched his head and stopped thinking about it.
At this moment, Meng Jing was almost at her limit, sweat beading on her forehead.
"Su Yang, are you done yet?"
"Almost, almost... hold on a little longer..."
