193: Nangong Ruoshui's request

Although Nangong Yu felt confused, he smiled and said, "Second Imperial Sister, just tell me what's on your mind. If I can help, I will do my best!"

Nangong Ruoshui hesitated for a moment and then said, "Xiaoyu, this matter must stay between us. Can you promise not to let a third person know?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu was slightly surprised, and his curiosity was piqued.

Although he could look directly using the Dao Yan Evil Eye, he chose not to. After all, it was Nangong Ruoshui's secret, and he should show some respect to his Second Imperial Sister!

His expression grew slightly serious, and he said, "Second Imperial Sister, don't worry. Whether I can help or not, what happens today will go in one ear and out the other. I absolutely won't let a third person besides us know."

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoshui let out a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoyu, the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm will open in half a month. Could I ask you to accompany me on a trip and help me find something?"

"The Xuan Yuan Secret Realm?"

Nangong Yu was slightly puzzled. "Second Imperial Sister, if it's just a Secret Realm opening and looking for an item, that shouldn't count as a private matter, right?"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoshui's face flushed slightly, and she said helplessly, "The Xuan Yuan Secret Realm is a bit special. The entry requirements not only have cultivation restrictions but also age restrictions!"

"I've checked many ancient texts, and they all indicate that the item I need is only available in the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm. I have no other choice but to ask you!"

"Oh? What are the restrictions?"

Nangong Yu was slightly surprised and asked, "Also, what is it that Second Imperial Sister is looking for?"

Nangong Ruoshui shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The Xuan Yuan Secret Realm opens once every thirty-three years. Those over twenty-five years old, or those whose cultivation is below the Calamity Destruction Realm, cannot enter. Those who can enter are all peerless Prodigies. It is said that no one from the Mortal Realm has entered for thousands of years."

"Coincidentally, the only people I know who meet the requirements right now are Jingqi, you, and me!"

"We can't rely on Jingqi. My cultivation has only barely reached the Late Stage of the Calamity Destruction Realm. I'm afraid survival will be difficult in the Secret Realm. I had no choice but to come to you for assistance and protection!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu nodded slightly. "Then, what is Second Imperial Sister looking for? Also, how much do you know about the Secret Realm's situation? Is it very dangerous?"

Nangong Ruoshui bit her red lip slightly and whispered, "The item I'm looking for is called dragon blood grass. Based on the scattered records in the ancient texts, the Secret Realm seems quite dangerous. It is said that there are Yao Race members above the Spirit Venerable Realm inside the Secret Realm."

"dragon blood grass?"

Nangong Yu was slightly surprised. "Second Imperial Sister, why do you need this item? As far as I know, this dragon blood grass seems to be at least King Grade. This kind of Spirit Medicine doesn't exist in the Mortal Realm at all."

Nangong Ruoshui spread her hands and said helplessly, "Exactly. That's why I looked through many ancient texts, and I only saw that the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm has it!"

Nangong Yu nodded slightly, but felt even more confused. Why did his Second Imperial Sister need dragon blood grass?

Moreover, she kept saying it was a private matter, but so far, nothing she said seemed taboo, right?

Nangong Yu was puzzled, but decided not to overthink it and asked directly, "Second Imperial Sister, why do you want this dragon blood grass?"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoshui looked helpless and struggled, seemingly finding it hard to speak.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "This is the most important reason I came to you. After obtaining the dragon blood grass, I need to ask you to help me find someone for Alchemy. The Medicinal Pill to be refined is the Ninth Grade yin dragon pill!"

"Yin... yin dragon pill?!"

At this moment, Nangong Yu was truly shocked. "Second Imperial Sister, why do you need this Medicinal Pill?"

He happened to know about this Medicinal Pill, simply because of its immense notoriety, which led to its inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Xuanling Continent Cultivator Common Knowledge.

This pill is known as the ultimate aphrodisiac pill!

Moreover, Ninth Grade is the lowest grade. Above it are King Grade, Royal Grade, Imperial Grade, Saint Grade, and even Dao Grade!

It can be said that within the same grade, once the yin dragon pill appears, no other Aphrodisiac Pill can compete with it!

And the most crucial point is that this Medicinal Pill practically has no antidote. It is said that even an Imperial Grade Antidote Pill cannot cure the poison of a Ninth Grade yin dragon pill!

That's outrageous!

The only way to detoxify is through... Yin and Yang Fusion!

Of course, if there is a Saint Grade Antidote Pill, that's another matter.

But there are also Saint Grade and Dao Grade yin dragon pills!

The Saint Grade can be cured with a Dao Grade Antidote Pill, but the Dao Grade truly has no antidote!

Thinking of the outrageous nature of this Medicinal Pill, Nangong Yu couldn't help but blink, looking strangely at Nangong Ruoshui, as if he had a thousand questions but didn't know where to start.

Nangong Ruoshui lowered her head, her beautiful face flushed red like an apple, looking as if blood might drip from it.

Her voice was barely audible, "If I said I wanted to use it myself, would you believe me?"

Although the words were barely audible, Nangong Yu still heard them, causing his mouth to twitch.

He looked at Nangong Ruoshui strangely, his expression complex. The Second Imperial Sister in his memory wasn't like this; how did she change so much after six years?

Nangong Ruoshui noticed his gaze, and as if guessing his thoughts, she raised her hand and unleashed a Flicking Finger Divine Ability. "Don't get the wrong idea!"

Nangong Yu covered his forehead and sighed, "Second Imperial Sister, you plan to take this Medicinal Pill, how can I not get the wrong idea?"

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoshui sighed, her expression helpless. "What choice do I have? If I don't take this Medicinal Pill, I'm afraid I will collapse!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu looked surprised and confusedly asked Nangong Ruoshui, "Wouldn't taking it cause you to collapse?"

"You don't understand, my situation is different from that of ordinary people now!"

Nangong Ruoshui shook her head, her expression extremely complex. Her beautiful face seemed to hold a thousand words, yet she struggled to reveal any of them.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu blinked and said, "Second Imperial Sister, tell me what happened!"

Nangong Ruoshui nodded slightly and smiled bitterly, "If I hadn't needed your help today, I might have kept this buried in my heart forever!"

"The story begins a year ago..."

As Nangong Ruoshui narrated, Nangong Yu felt an absolute stampede of thoughts in his heart, utterly speechless.

It turned out that a year ago, an unknown Secret Realm appeared near Cloud Dream Peak, south of Clear Serenity, and Nangong Ruoshui traveled there with the Qingyou Imperial Family.

Inside the Secret Realm, Nangong Ruoshui accidentally entered a strange space and, by Opportunity, merged with a mass of Pink Aura.

From then on, her body began to change.

To be precise, if Nangong Yu wasn't mistaken, a Physique within her was undergoing Fusion and Awakening, and during this process, her body exhibited abnormalities.

Simply put, her lust disappeared. She became ascetic and desireless, entering a state of absolute Sage Time!

Originally, this wouldn't have been a problem, but the terrible thing was that on the fifteenth day of every month, this condition would rebound, causing her lust to surge and giving her intense cravings... The first time, she thought she had been poisoned, so she frantically jumped into cold water and took an Antidote Pill.

But it was utterly useless!

In desperation, she frantically consumed Antidote Pills, but accidentally took an Aphrodisiac Pill obtained from an unknown source.

At the time, she was terrified, but soon discovered that taking the Aphrodisiac Pill could actually suppress the lust and return her to normal!

In the following instances, she secretly tried to find and consume Aphrodisiac Pills, which always worked wonders and suppressed that terrifying feeling.

However, the progression of events gradually began to send shivers down her spine.
