Chapter 408: Nine-turn Reviving Soul Pill

Gu Yuyiao's spirit was injured and suffered severe damage.

If she doesn't receive effective treatment, she may remain in this deep sleep forever.

Feng Qingyu and the others tried every method, yet she showed no sign of improvement.

We must find a way to wake Gu Yuyiao. Remembering the days Gu Yuyiao carefully tended to me, and recalling how she risked her own safety to heal me, Zhang Xingyu resolved to definitely wake her.

But he is a pauper; he has no pills that can treat a wounded spirit. Even the few he had obtained before have been completely used up.

His brows knit tightly. What to do? What to do? What to do?

At that moment, a flash of golden light flickered before his eyes.

A pristine white jade hand holding a flawless white jade bottle appeared before him.

Inside the jade bottle was a pill shimmering with golden light, its surface bearing eight mysterious divine patterns.

Zhang Xingyu looked up and saw Tang Yunxi's pretty face.

"This is the Nine-turn Reviving Soul Pill; take it and give it to Fairy Gu to ingest."

The Nine-turn Reviving Soul Pill, the legendary Nine-turn Immortal Pill, a sacred medicine that mends spirit injuries. Feng Qingyu stared at the glittering pill, stunned into speechlessness.

Zhang Xingyu was also shocked. Yet, after a moment, he steadied his mind. Who is Tang Yunxi? She is the Immortal King's daughter, so it's not surprising she possesses a supreme immortal pill.

Nevertheless, he felt great joy that Tang Yunxi was willing to offer such a precious pill to heal Gu Yuyiao.

He was not only very happy but also deeply grateful.

"Yunxi, thank you."

Zhang Xingyu took the pill and handed it to the stunned Feng Qingyu standing nearby.

"Senior Sister Feng, please give this pill to Yuyiao for her to ingest."

Feng Qingyu snapped back to herself, took the Nine-turn Reviving Soul Pill with both hands, and, excited, rushed to feed Gu Yuyiao the pill, completely forgetting to thank Tang Yunxi.

By the wooden bed, Feng Qingyu carefully extracted the Nine-turn Immortal Pill from the jade bottle, then gently parting Gu Yuyiao's crimson lips to feed the pill to her.

Everyone anxiously watched Gu Yuyiao, hoping she would wake immediately.

One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed......

During the agonizing wait, Gu Yuyiao's eyelids twitched.

"Yuyiao!"

"Junior Sister!"

Gu Yuyiao slowly opened her eyes.

"Junior Sister, you're awake, how wonderful!" Feng Qingyu wept with joy.

"Gu Yuyiao!" Zhang Xingyu also danced with happiness. Gu Yuyiao's awakening was truly a cause for celebration.

"Who are you?" Gu Yuyiao's gaze swept over the others, then she asked gently.

The group was stunned.

Feng Qingyu held Gu Yuyiao's hand and asked, "Junior Sister, I'm Senior Sister. Don't you recognize me?"

Gu Yuyiao shook her head.

Zhang Xingyu strode forward, "Gu Yuyiao, do you still recognize me? I am Zhang Xingyu."

A bewildered look appeared in Gu Yuyiao's eyes: "Zhang Xingyu? I think I've heard that name somewhere, but I can't recall where."

Everyone's hearts sank again.

Although Gu Yuyiao woke up, she had lost her memory.

She didn't remember who she was, nor the people and events of her past.

The Nine-turn Reviving Soul Pill restored her spirit, but not her memories.

She was amnesiac.

She seemed like an entirely new being. Yet, is this new her still Gu Yuyiao?

Zhang Xingyu, his face full of disappointment, walked out of the stone house. Beside him, Tang Yunxi clasped his hand tightly, comforting, "Don't lose heart; Fairy Gu will remember."

"Hmm." Zhang Xingyu forced out a faint smile.

He tried to laugh, but his smile looked uglier than crying.

The village chief of Jiang Village is named Jiang Tang, a robust man in his thirties.

Since childhood, he has heard countless legends from his ancestors.

Legend says that at the far end of an endless volcano lies a golden Divine Sea. At the sea's edge floats a golden Divine Mountain, upon which stand towering Divine Temples, home to immortal beings who never age.

Since youth, Jiang Tang has dreamed of leaving the continuous mountains blocking the village to see that golden Divine Sea. Yet, as he aged, the childhood dream drifted farther away. He attempted many times to leave the mountain, each time returning empty‑handed. The mountain's summit is guarded by the Mountain God; without the Mountain God's permission, no one can depart.

Recently, several otherworldly beings descended from the sky. According to the elders, such outsiders are reincarnated immortals who can soar through the heavens, burrow through the earth, and overturn mountains and seas. Thus Jiang Tang felt renewed hope, thinking perhaps these beings could lead him out of the mountain.

He generously lent his courtyard for the beings to stay and even sent various foods from five distant places across the mountains.

But after a few days, his hope turned to disappointment again. The beings climbed the mountain, each returning wounded. Even reincarnated immortals could not defeat the Mountain God; who then could lead him out of the mountain?

Jiang Tang set down the wild boar he was shouldering. The boar was two meters long and weighed over a thousand jin. To subdue it, he even broke his beloved steel fork.

"Dong dong dong." Jiang Tang knocked on his own courtyard gate.

Inside the courtyard, a rustle of footsteps could be heard.

Immediately after, the gate opened from inside, revealing a handsome face.

The young man wore a snow‑white Dao robe, with a faint melancholy in his brows.

Jiang Tang did not recognize the man, yet he could guess his identity.

He had already received reports that two more otherworldly beings—a man and a woman—had arrived in the village.

The man standing before him must be the newly arrived being.

"Greetings, Immortal. I am the village chief here. I have come to bring you food," Jiang Tang said with a smile, introducing himself.

"Thank you, Chief. Please come in," Zhang Xingyu stepped back, clearing the way.

He had long heard people say that this was the village chief's home.

The village chief was returning home; he couldn't block the doorway.

Jiang Tang lifted the wild boar, wanting to put it into the kitchen.

Just then, Feng Qingyu took Gu Yuyao's hand and walked out.

Although she didn't remember anyone here, Gu Yuyao still walked out of the stone house with Feng Qingyu.

Gu Yuyao looked toward Zhang Xingyu ahead.

This man gave her a feeling of familiarity, yet no matter how she tried to recall, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Her gaze swept over Zhang Xingyu, then landed on Jiang Tang beside her.

She didn't know this person, but she was very familiar with the wild boar he was carrying.

Chinese yam braised spare ribs.

A thought suddenly jumped into her mind.

Wild iron rod yam paired with wild boar ribs, plus a smashed piece of old mountain ginger, first boiled over high heat, then simmered over low heat for two hours; the resulting medicinal spare rib soup was delicious and fragrant.

"I will stew Chinese yam spare rib soup for you," she said to everyone.
