A few twisting corridors back, shielded behind a massive collapsed partition of obsidian slate, Ling Luochen carefully supported Qian Yunxi's trembling frame.
Ling Luochen put Qian Yunxi down and let her rest leaning on a wall and immediately took out several vial containing various rejuvenating pills.
The jade flasks clattered against Ling Luochen's palms as she popped the wax seals with frantic haste.
She selected a pale green Vitality Nourishing Dew, a high-grade Bone-Mending Pellet refined by the Shen Ying alchemical workshop—which is front for her drug business— and a translucent pill that was steeped in thousand-year spiritual nectar.
She fed them gently past Qian Yunxi's parted, cracked lips, pressing two fingers against her throat to channel a thread of warm spiritual qi, guiding the potent medicinal currents down into her parched dantian.
The effect was nearly instantaneous.
HUUUUUUM.
A gentle, emerald-gold luminescence bloomed from Qian Yunxi's core.
