"Okay." Faced with Li Huowang's words, the Grand Master of the Great Liang Kingdom turned around and lightly stroked his white beard while nodding in approval.

Li Huowang was a little nervous at the moment, unsure whether the other party believed him or not. The other party's strength was not to be underestimated, and if they really decided to take action, he might not be able to escape.

While he was contemplating other arguments in his mind, the other party spoke again. "Since His Majesty favors you so much, it's a great opportunity for you to get close to the royal family. Seize it."

"Yes!" However, in Li Huowang's heart, he didn't think it was a great opportunity. With others competing for it, it was uncertain how long the reckless Princess Lin could stay on the throne.

"Go, do well. The Great Liang Dynasty needs people like you," said the Grand Master of the Great Liang Kingdom, patting Li Huowang on the shoulder.

When Li Huowang keenly felt something entering his tongue root along with his shoulder, he immediately understood that after the threat, the other party still didn't trust him and had placed a restriction on him.

But Li Huowang didn't care about it. He didn't plan to tell anyone in the first place. Speaking of such things would definitely invite trouble.

"Understood, I take my leave." After Li Huowang bowed again, he turned and walked out of the imperial temple.

When Li Huowang followed Lian Zhibei out of the towering crimson imperial city with the Yangshou Pill, he turned back and looked at the oppressive imperial palace, feeling relieved.

He still didn't like it here. The whole city seemed alive, constantly devouring people.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, at least the ending went smoothly.

But now that he knew that several princes were fighting for the throne, it seemed that there would be hidden turmoil in the capital. He should finish his business and leave this place as soon as possible.

As for helping Princess Lin stabilize her power, it was not within Li Huowang's consideration at all. Although the young man seemed suitable to be friends with and had goodwill towards him, they had only met once. Such a relationship was not worth risking his life for. Moreover, that kid didn't seem like emperor material.

"Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise," Li Huowang turned his head and said to Lian Zhibei, who was excitedly looking at the jade pendant in his hand.

The Yangshou Pill could only be condensed by a dedicated person. The jade pendant was the proof of obtaining the Yangshou Pill.

"Don't worry, of course," Lian Zhibei said as he was about to leave, but Li Huowang directly stopped him this time. It was his turn to be worried. "Where are you going?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to bring my mother here to extend her life! Didn't we agree on this?" Li Huowang reached out and snatched the jade pendant from him. "Come find me after you bring your mother here. You better hurry. If she doesn't come within a month, I'll just use this Yangshou Pill on my wife."

"Really? We've already arrived in the capital, and you still don't trust me? How about I pledge my token from the Monarch Bureau to you?" Lian Zhibei pleaded desperately.

But Li Huowang couldn't be bothered to waste time with her. He waved the jade pendant in his hand at her and turned to walk towards the Monarch Bureau.

If you want to catch a rabbit, you have to let the hounds go. It was impossible to deceive him empty-handed.

Arriving at the inner treasury, Li Huowang didn't waste time talking to the eunuch with two copper coins on his head. He directly poured out the four hundred Yangshou Pills from the gourd. "Give me the relic I asked for before! Hurry!"

This relic was placed inside the seven-layered pagoda. As the eunuchs opened the nested pagodas layer by layer, when the last layer was opened, a red agate box emitting a faint light appeared in front of Li Huowang.

This red agate box was very transparent, allowing Li Huowang to directly see the relic inside, emitting a Buddha's light. It was a piece of human bone, a translucent little finger.

"The relic is actually human bones? And to obtain the method of the Heart Eye, you actually have to eat human bones?" Li Huowang looked at Qianyan, the eunuch beside him, with suspicion. This method seemed very unorthodox.

"Please rest assured, this is the last one. The previous six have all been used, and the people who used them are doing well. However, I still have to remind you, you must have a good heart. You must have a good heart!" the eunuch said earnestly.

"Alright, how many times do you have to repeat that? This is it." Li Huowang was starting to feel a little troubled now. How would he persuade Bai Lingmiao after he returned? How could he make her swallow these human bones?

It seemed that the shadow of Qingfeng Temple still lingered in her mind. She was very resistant to things like human flesh and bones, and she even refused to eat ordinary pills if she could avoid it.

But when Li Huowang returned home with the agate pagoda containing the relic and two roast geese, and saw Bai Lingmiao groping in the pitch-black room, he realized that he had been overly worried. Bai Lingmiao couldn't see anything now.

"Li Senior Brother, you're back?" The somewhat haggard Bai Lingmiao turned her head towards the direction of Li Huowang's voice.

"How did you know it was me?" Li Huowang placed the roast geese wrapped in lotus leaves on the table.

"I can tell. I recognize the sound of your footsteps. Li Senior Brother, ever since my eyesight started to deteriorate, my hearing has become more acute," Bai Lingmiao said, reaching out to feel her way around in the dark room.

Li Huowang walked over to her, gently helping her to a nearby meditation chair. "Miao Miao, don't worry, there's a way to cure your eyes."

As he spoke, Li Huowang pulled out a water gourd and an agate tower the size of a fist from his bosom. "Open your mouth."

"Brother Li, what kind of miraculous elixir is this? It can actually cure blindness." Bai Lingmiao's face was filled with equal parts curiosity and anticipation as she opened her mouth.

Li Huowang didn't answer, instead directly placing the relic on her tongue with his fingers. "Don't chew, just swallow it with the rootless water."

When the rainwater from the gourd was poured into Bai Lingmiao's mouth, she seemed to choke and began to cough violently. Seeing this, Li Huowang patted her back repeatedly. Neither of them noticed the golden swastika that flashed across Bai Lingmiao's chest.

When Bai Lingmiao finally managed to catch her breath, she spoke with a worried expression, "Brother Li, what was that? Why..."

Just then, Bai Lingmiao suddenly froze. She realized that she could see again.

To be precise, it wasn't really seeing, but rather sensing the energy from the objects around her.

The table, the chair, Li Sui, and even the two dwarf trees outside the courtyard were all clearly perceptible.

This feeling was truly unique, as if everything around her was clearly imprinted in her heart.

"Brother Li?"

Bai Lingmiao looked at the strange object in front of her with some confusion. This thing was completely different from the others.

It seemed like a person, but it would appear and disappear intermittently, accompanied by intense vibrations.

Not only that, there were some overlapping images around him that would sometimes condense and sometimes separate.
