bái shù yuè dàng zhēn yǒu xiē zhuāng shén nòng guǐ de tiān fù ， chéng gōng “ yù yán ” le jiē xià lái jǐ nián jiāng huì fā shēng de tiān zāi zhī hòu ， tā zài wáng fǔ de dì wèi měi rì jù zēng 。
白漱月当真有些装神弄鬼的天赋，成功“预言”了接下来几年将会发生的天灾之后，她在王府的地位每日剧增。
Baishushi looked at Li Fan's body, a flash of regret appearing in her eyes.
zài jiā shàng bái shù yuè jī hū bù wèn shì shì ， zhōng rì yǔ shū hǎi wèi bàn ， měi měi zhǐ zài guān jiàn shí hòu tí diǎn jǐ jù 。
再加上白漱月几乎不问世事，终日与书海为伴，每每只在关键时候提点几句。
"Zhenren!"
rú cǐ xíng jìng ， shǐ de láng yá wáng duì tā gèng jiā xìn rèn 。
如此行径，使得琅琊王对她更加信任。
"The progress is too slow. I'm just an ordinary person. It seems I need to think of ways to speed things up."
gèng guān jiàn de shì ， rú cǐ shén mì de rén wù ， jìng rán yǒu yí zhì mìng de ruǎn lèi 。
更关键的是，如此神秘的人物，竟然有一致命的软肋。
Plan for Sainthood V!
nà tǐ ruò duō bìng ， zhōng rì wò yú chuáng tà de zhí ér 。
那体弱多病，终日卧于床榻的侄儿。
This time, Baishushi took multiple approaches, combining the strengths of several methods and developing a way that could successfully extend Li Fan's life.
bái shù yuè duì lǐ fán de zhòng shì chéng dù ， láng yá wáng kàn zài yǎn lǐ 。 yǐ wáng fǔ de shí lì ， bié shuō yí gè lǐ fán ， jiù suàn yì bǎi gè 、 yī qiān gè lǐ fán ， zhōng shēng gòng yǎng yě shì bù zài huà xià ！
白漱月对李凡的重视程度，琅琊王看在眼里。以王府的实力，别说一个李凡，就算一百个、一千个李凡，终生供养也是不在话下！
Using the power of Prince Yan, she gathered many young and strong people, extracting their blood and infusing it into Li Fan's body when he was having an episode.
yú shì zhuān mén dǎ zào le yī zuò yuán lín ， ān zhì lǐ fán 。
于是专门打造了一座园林，安置李凡。
Baishushi carefully selected these robust bloods to ensure they did not clash with Li Fan'sfate constitution (destiny). With this nourishment, Li Fan's complexion improved somewhat.
yī rì ， láng yá wáng wèi bái shù yuè qián chéng zhī shì 。
一日，琅琊王为白漱月前程之事。
This was a historic breakthrough! Baishushi was overjoyed.
bái shù yuè yǐn yú qīng shā zhī hòu ， yú yān yún liáo rào zhī zhōng ， huǎn huǎn huí dá dào ：“ wáng yé mìng zhòng biàn yǒu zhì zūn zhī xiāng 。 zhǐ xū jìng dài tiān shí ， děng qián lóng chū yuān jí kě 。 qí tā ， shén me dōu bù yòng zuò 。”
白漱月隐于轻纱之后，于烟云缭绕之中，缓缓回答道：“王爷命中便有至尊之相。只需静待天时，等潜龙出渊即可。其他，什么都不用做。”
However, maintaining Li Fan's life required a large amount of young and strong people's blood. Although Prince Yan's power could easily handle such a small number, using human blood to treat someone was shocking. Moreover, the news somehow leaked out, making everyone aware.
“ duō zuò ， duō cuò 。”
“多做，多错。”
The common people were outraged, ministers were indignant, and the emperor was furious.
láng yá wáng chén sī liáng jiǔ ， gǒng shǒu ér tuì 。
琅琊王沉思良久，拱手而退。
Forced to take responsibility, Prince Yan had to hand Baishushi over for punishment.
sān nián hòu ， yī dào shèng zhǐ chuán chū jīng chéng 。 huáng shàng jìng yú jià bēng zhī qián ， jiāng shèng wèi chuán yú píng rì lǐ bù xiǎn shān bù lù shuǐ de láng yá wáng ！
三年后，一道圣旨传出京城。皇上竟于驾崩之前，将圣位传于平日里不显山不露水的琅琊王！
Fortunately, Baishushi was alert and had set up spies in the palace long ago. She managed to escape with Li Fan before being caught.
zhū fāng shì lì ， àn liú yǒng dòng 。
诸方势力，暗流涌动。
Although they became known as "monsters" throughout Great Xuan, they could still survive by hiding deep in the mountains.
ér dé le bái shù yuè tí xǐng de láng yá wáng ， duì cǐ zǎo yǐ jīng yǒu suǒ zhǔn bèi 。
而得了白漱月提醒的琅琊王，对此早已经有所准备。
With her accumulated medical knowledge from several lifetimes, the two of them were not about to starve to death.
zhòng rén hái zài jiāng nán láng yá jùn sōu xún tā zōng jì de shí hòu ， tā běn rén yǐ jīng dài zhe sān bǎi jīng ruì ， xiàn yú gōng tíng zhī zhōng 。
众人还在江南琅琊郡搜寻他踪迹的时候，他本人已经带着三百精锐，现于宫廷之中。
However, living in the wilderness was harsh. Without the blood transfusions, Li Fan's originally healthy body gradually deteriorated.
yǐ léi tíng zhī shì ， zài suǒ yǒu shì lì dōu hái méi fǎn yìng guò lái zhī qián ， biàn chéng gōng jì chéng le wáng wèi ！ gǎi yuán xuān jǐng 。
以雷霆之势，在所有势力都还没反应过来之前，便成功继承了王位！改元宣景。
"Next time, I must learn from this experience and establish my own power base," Baishushi thought as she watched her nephew fall asleep after giving him a medicine.
shì rén jiē dào xuān jǐng dì shí xíng guǒ jué ， fāng cái néng bīng bù xuè rèn ， huà jiě le nèi luàn wēi jī 。
世人皆道宣景帝实行果决，方才能兵不血刃，化解了内乱危机。
She no longer expected much from him and gave up on treating his illness. Instead, she took him to travel around the mountains, leading a completely different life.
wéi yǒu liáo liáo shù rén fāng cái zhī xiǎo ， wáng fǔ zhōng 、 xiàn zài zé shì huáng gōng zhōng nà wèi shén mì mò cè de fù rén ， cái shì tuī dòng zhè yī qiè de zuì dà gōng chén ！
唯有寥寥数人方才知晓，王府中、现在则是皇宫中那位神秘莫测的妇人，才是推动这一切的最大功臣！
Unexpectedly, they discovered a cave one day.
“ suī jì dì wèi ， rán tiān xià wèi dìng 。 huò luàn àn cáng ， bù kě bù fáng 。”
“虽继帝位，然天下未定。祸乱暗藏，不可不防。”
"Uncle, I feel better here."
bái shù yuè jiāng yī zhāng zhǐ tiáo dì gěi le xuān jǐng dì 。
白漱月将一张纸条递给了宣景帝。
Li Fan's words surprised Baishushi greatly.
xuān jǐng dì gēn jù zhǐ tiáo shàng míng dān ， pài rén àn zhōng chá tàn ， guǒ rán fā xiàn le zéi rén yù zuò luàn fàn shàng de jì xiàng 。 yú shì qiǎng zài tā men fā nàn zhī qián ， huī wǔ qǐ le tú dāo 。 jiāng yī qiè è shā zài yáo lán zhī zhōng 。
宣景帝根据纸条上名单，派人暗中查探，果然发现了贼人欲作乱犯上的迹象。于是抢在他们发难之前，挥舞起了屠刀。将一切扼杀在摇篮之中。
This was something that had never happened in any of her previous lifetimes. She carefully examined the cave.
xuān jǐng dì de xuè xīng shǒu duàn ， chè dǐ zhèn shè le cháo táng 。
宣景帝的血腥手段，彻底震慑了朝堂。
It seemed like someone used to live there, but not much remained.
ér nà shén mì mò cè 、 jù shuō yǒu guǐ shén zhī néng de bái shù yuè de cún zài ， yě zhōng yú bèi qún chén suǒ zhī xiǎo 。
而那神秘莫测、据说有鬼神之能的白漱月的存在，也终于被群臣所知晓。
There was just a piece of stone emitting strange energy and an jade tablet.
jiāng suǒ yǒu xiǎo xīn sī yǐn cáng ， cháo tíng zàn shí biàn dé píng wěn qǐ lái 。
将所有小心思隐藏，朝廷暂时变得平稳起来。
Baishushi, who prided herself on her knowledge, was bewildered by these items.
ér bái shù yuè nà biān ， zé shì zhōng yú kě yǐ quán xīn quán yì ， yán jiū jiě jué lǐ fán de guài bìng le 。
而白漱月那边，则是终于可以全心全意，研究解决李凡的怪病了。
Although she did not know what they were, they must have helped Li Fan's condition.
gēn shàng yī shì yī yàng ， lǐ fán de guài bìng zhǔn shí fā zuò le 。
跟上一世一样，李凡的怪病准时发作了。
Inspired, Baishushi decided to live in this cave and try to decipher the secrets of the jade tablet and stone.
jí biàn zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi ， yuè dú yī shū wú shù 。 bái shù yuè yě méi yǒu zhǎo dào néng gòu yī zhì zhí ér de fāng fǎ 。
即便早有准备，阅读医书无数。白漱月也没有找到能够医治侄儿的方法。
Unfortunately, even after Li Fan's death, she made no progress.
nǎ pà huǎn jiě yě zuò bú dào ， zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe lǐ fán yī tiān tiān xiāo shòu xià qù 。
哪怕缓解也做不到，只能眼睁睁看着李凡一天天消瘦下去。
She cremated his remains and carried these items with her as she traveled across the land, seeking someone who might know about them. But there was nothing to be found.
xuān jǐng dì tīng wén cǐ shì hòu ， zhào jí tài yī ， lián hé wèi lǐ fán zhěn zhì 。
宣景帝听闻此事后，召集太医，联合为李凡诊治。
As Baishushi neared the end of this lifetime, a rumor spread like wildfire.
rán què quán dōu shù shǒu wú cè 。
然却全都束手无策。
A divine being had come from the east, bringing down heavenly punishment, turning Xuanjing into ruins and causing countless deaths.
gēn shàng yī shì yī yàng ， bái shù yuè qīn yǎn mù dǔ le lǐ fán de sǐ wáng 。
跟上一世一样，白漱月亲眼目睹了李凡的死亡。
Baishushi was shocked by this news; it was something that never happened in any of her previous lifetimes!
zhǐ shì zhè yī cì ， bái shù yuè yǐ jīng màn màn xí guàn le 。
只是这一次，白漱月已经慢慢习惯了。
"Why is this happening?"
bù zài yī yè bái tóu ， zhǐ shì mò mò wèi lǐ fán shōu liǎn shī gǔ 。
不再一夜白头，只是默默为李凡收敛尸骨。
She first felt confused, then realized:
shī qù le zhí ér hòu ， bái shù yuè duì shì shì zài wú rèn hé qiān guà 。 zhǐ shì yī xīn tóu rù zài duì yī shù de yán jiū zhī zhōng 。
失去了侄儿后，白漱月对世事再无任何牵挂。只是一心投入在对医术的研究之中。
"Perhaps my lifespan this time is much longer than before for some reason."
jí biàn hòu lái ， xuān jǐng dì lǚ cì yǐ guǐ shén zhī shì wén xùn ， bái shù yuè yě zhǐ shì tuī tuō bù zhī 。
即便后来，宣景帝屡次以鬼神之事闻讯，白漱月也只是推脱不知。
"This year is..."
nǎ pà zhú jiàn zhèn nù de xuān jǐng dì ， yǐ bái shù yuè zì shēn xìng mìng wēi xié 。 tā yě shì dàn rán jù jué 。
哪怕逐渐震怒的宣景帝，以白漱月自身性命威胁。她也是淡然拒绝。
"Fifty years later?"
xuān jǐng dì wú nài zhì jí ， bù guò zuì zhōng yě méi yǒu hài le bái shù yuè xìng mìng 。
宣景帝无奈至极，不过最终也没有害了白漱月性命。
"I have unknowingly lived so long?"
hái shì mìng rén chè dǐ jiāng bái shù yuè suǒ zài gōng diàn fēng bì ， bù xǔ rèn hé wài rén jìn rù 。
还是命人彻底将白漱月所在宫殿封闭，不许任何外人进入。
Baishushi was stunned. She took out the strange items she carried with her.
zhǐ yào yǒu yī shū ， bái shù yuè dǎo shì yě wú suǒ wèi 。
只要有医书，白漱月倒是也无所谓。
The jade tablet showed no change.
gōng mén yī bì ， biàn shì sān shí zài 。
宫门一闭，便是三十载。
But the stone...
sān shí nián hòu ， bái shù yuè jí jiāng zǒu dào le shēng mìng de jìn tóu 。
三十年后，白漱月即将走到了生命的尽头。
It seemed smaller than when she first found it.
zhè yī rì ， chén fēng xǔ jiǔ de mù mén zài dù dǎ kāi 。 tóng yàng mǎn tóu bái fà de xuān jǐng dì huǎn huǎn lái dào le bái shù yuè miàn qián 。
这一日，尘封许久的木门再度打开。同样满头白发的宣景帝缓缓来到了白漱月面前。
Baishushi had a hunch.
hē tuì suǒ yǒu xià rén hòu ， xuān jǐng dì kàn zhe chuí chuí lǎo yǐ de bái shù yuè ， yuán běn yù qiú de xù mìng zhī fǎ 、 què shì zěn me yě wèn bù chū kǒu le 。
喝退所有下人后，宣景帝看着垂垂老矣的白漱月，原本欲求的续命之法、却是怎么也问不出口了。
She set off for Xuanjing, trying to gather more information about the divine beings while attempting to "absorb" the energy from the stone.
“ rǔ tōng xiǎo guǐ shén zhī shì ， què yě luò de tóng yàng xià chǎng 。” xuān jǐng dì kǔ xiào dào 。
“汝通晓鬼神之事，却也落得同样下场。”宣景帝苦笑道。
Unfortunately, before she could return to the capital, her lifespan was almost over.
bái shù yuè mò rán bù dá 。
白漱月默然不答。
"Zhenren!"
“ kě xún dé zhì bìng zhī fǎ ？” liáng jiǔ zhī hòu ， xuān jǐng dì kàn zhe zhōu wéi duī chéng shān ， què yòu bù shī zhěng qí de wú shù yī shū ， kāi kǒu wèn dào 。
“可寻得治病之法？”良久之后，宣景帝看着周围堆成山，却又不失整齐的无数医书，开口问道。
"The progress is still too slow!"
“ fán sú zhī fǎ ， huò xǔ nán zhì qí jí 。” bái shù yuè zhōng yú kāi kǒu ， shēng yīn yǒu xiē shā yǎ 。
“凡俗之法，或许难治其疾。”白漱月终于开口，声音有些沙哑。
"But I can't rush it. The path of sainthood spans countless lifetimes; there must be no flaws."
xuān jǐng dì mǎn huái qī wàng de dīng zhe bái shù yuè ， qī dài tā hòu miàn de huà 。
宣景帝满怀期望的盯着白漱月，期待她后面的话。
"Otherwise, I will fail at the last moment!"
“ rán xiān jiā mì shù ， yòu qǐ shì fán rén kě zhī ？” bái shù yuè yǒu xiē tuí rán de shuō dào 。
“然仙家秘术，又岂是凡人可知？”白漱月有些颓然的说道。
Li Fan's voice echoed in the darkness.
xuān jǐng dì dāi le dāi 。 kǔ xiào jǐ shēng ， huī le huī shǒu ， zhuǎn shēn lí qù 。
宣景帝呆了呆。苦笑几声，挥了挥手，转身离去。
Seventh lifetime!
zhè yī cì ， gōng mén zài méi yǒu fēng sǐ 。
这一次，宫门再没有封死。
Due to her terrifying experience from the previous life, Baishushi was wary of divine objects this time. But for Li Fan's sake, she decided to continue researching them.
rán ér bái shù yuè què yě méi yǒu yào zǒu chū de yì si le 。
然而白漱月却也没有要走出的意思了。
She temporarily abandoned contact with the stone and instead used the method from the previous life to activate the jade tablet.
gǎn shòu dào zì jǐ jí jiāng zǒu dào shēng mìng de zhōng diǎn ， bái shù yuè xīn zhōng píng jìng zhì jí 。 jìng jìng tǎng zài chuáng shàng ， shī qù le yì shí 。
感受到自己即将走到生命的终点，白漱月心中平静至极。静静躺在床上，失去了意识。
At that moment, Baishushi braced herself for another sudden aging but was surprised when a text appeared in her mind.
“ hái zhēn ！”
“还真！”
"I tried this before. But back then, the jade tablet did not react."
zào shèng jì huà dì sì shì 。
造圣计划第四世。
"My feelings were right."
zhè yī cì ， bái shù yuè bù zài jū nì yú xún cháng yī shù 。
这一次，白漱月不再拘泥于寻常医术。
Although she didn't know what each change meant, it seemed like good news from now on.
ér shì jiāng mù biāo fàng zài le gè zhǒng piān fāng 、 guǐ mì wū shù zhī shàng 。
而是将目标放在了各种偏方、诡秘巫术之上。
Baishushi carefully read the contents of the jade tablet and gradually became shocked.
jì rán xún cháng fāng fǎ zhì bù hǎo lǐ fán ， bái shù yuè dǎ suàn jiàn zǒu piān fēng 。
既然寻常方法治不好李凡，白漱月打算剑走偏锋。
"Xiao Wuxing Gongfa (Minor Five Elements Technique)?"
“ fán ér ， guāi 。 tīng shěn shěn de huà ， jiāng zhè wǎn yào gěi hē le 。” bái shù yuè duān zhe yī wǎn hēi hū hū 、 fàn zhe è chòu de “ yào ”， dì zài le lǐ fán miàn qián 。
“凡儿，乖。听婶婶的话，将这碗药给喝了。”白漱月端着一碗黑乎乎、泛着恶臭的“药”，递在了李凡面前。
"What is this...?"
lǐ fán niē zhe bí zi hē xià 。
李凡捏着鼻子喝下。
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Baishushi continued reading after she was fully composed.
bàn rì hòu ， miàn sè wū qīng 、 qī qiào liú xiě ér sǐ 。
半日后，面色乌青、七窍流血而死。
To her relief, although some parts were unclear, the overall meaning was not difficult to understand.
bái shù yuè dāi dāi dì kàn zhe lǐ fán de shī tǐ ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī ào nǎo 。
白漱月呆呆地看着李凡的尸体，眼中闪过一丝懊恼。
"The five elements' energy from heaven and earth can be absorbed into the body to strengthen the organs..."
“ hái zhēn ！”
“还真！”
"Medical texts do mention the elemental attributes of organs. But five element energies?"
“ jìn dù tài màn le ， zhōng jiū zhǐ shì yī jiè fán rén 。 kàn lái ， wǒ dé xiǎng bàn fǎ ， jiā kuài diǎn jìn dù 。”
“进度太慢了，终究只是一介凡人。看来，我得想办法，加快点进度。”
Baishushi frowned slightly.
zào shèng jì huà dì wǔ shì ！
造圣计划第五世！
"Lingqi, lingqi..."
zhè yī cì ， bái shù yuè duō guǎn qí xià 。 jí duō jiā suǒ zhǎng ， zì yán chū le yī zhǒng néng chéng gōng wèi lǐ fán xù mìng de fāng fǎ 。
这一次，白漱月多管齐下。集多家所长，自研出了一种能成功为李凡续命的方法。
She thought about the stone again.
lì yòng láng yá wáng de quán shì ， sōu jí le zhū duō qīng nián tǐ zhuàng zhī rén 。
利用琅琊王的权势，搜集了诸多青年体壮之人。
"According to this technique, one cannot practice without energy."
chōu qǔ tā men jīng xuè ， guàn gài jìn rù bìng fā de lǐ fán tǐ nèi 。
抽取他们精血，灌溉进入病发的李凡体内。
"But based on my past experiences, it seems that energy is a poison for me..."
zhè xiē jīng zhuàng de jīng xuè ， jiē shì bái shù yuè jīng xīn tiāo xuǎn ， bú huì yǔ lǐ fán mìng gé xiāng chōng 。 dé le zī yǎng ， lǐ fán de qì sè guǒ rán biàn dé hǎo le xiē 。
这些精壮的精血，皆是白漱月精心挑选，不会与李凡命格相冲。得了滋养，李凡的气色果然变得好了些。
Baishushi was at a loss but pinned her hopes on the two divine beings who would arrive in fifty years.
zhè shì lì shǐ xìng de tū pò ！ bái shù yuè dùn shí xǐ chū wàng wài 。
这是历史性的突破！白漱月顿时喜出望外。
Time passed quickly.
rán ér ， xiǎng yào wèi lǐ fán xù mìng ， xū yào dà liàng de qīng zhuàng jīng xuè wéi chí 。 suī shuō yǐ láng yá wáng de quán shì ， xiē xǔ jīng zhuàng gēn běn bù zài huà xià 。
然而，想要为李凡续命，需要大量的青壮精血维持。虽说以琅琊王的权势，些许精壮根本不在话下。
Two streaks of light descended from the sky like meteors. Thunder roared across the land.
dàn shēng chōu rén jīng xuè yòng yǐ zhì liáo ， shí nǎi jīng shì hài sú zhī shì 。 gèng bù zhī wèi hé ， cǐ shì jìng hái zǒu lù le fēng shēng ， nào dé rén jǐn jiē zhī 。
但生抽人精血用以治疗，实乃惊世骇俗之事。更不知为何，此事竟还走露了风声，闹得人尽皆知。
"Daoxuanzi! Don't be so tyrannical!"
bǎi xìng huá rán ， qún chén yì fèn tián yīng ， huáng shàng zhèn nù 。
百姓哗然，群臣义愤填膺，皇上震怒。
...
wú nài zhī xià ， láng yá wáng zhǐ néng jiāng bái shù yuè jiāo chū lái dǐng zuì 。
无奈之下，琅琊王只能将白漱月交出来顶罪。
From a safe distance outside Xuanjing, Baishushi watched the two figures in the sky, feeling unexpectedly excited.
hǎo zài bái shù yuè jī jǐng ， píng rì lǐ zǎo jiù zài wáng fǔ shàng xià bù xià le yǎn xiàn 。 tí qián dé dào le xiāo xī tā ， dài zhe lǐ fán cōng máng táo zǒu 。
好在白漱月机警，平日里早就在王府上下布下了眼线。提前得到了消息她，带着李凡匆忙逃走。
This was her first time truly seeing divine beings.
suī méi yǒu bèi zhuā zhù ， què yǐ jīng chéng wéi le dà xuán rén jǐn jiē zhī de “ yāo niè ”。 zhǐ néng duǒ zài shēn shān lǎo lín zhī zhōng cáng shēn 。
虽没有被抓住，却已经成为了大玄人尽皆知的“妖孽”。只能躲在深山老林之中藏身。
But she did not rush to meet them. Instead, she waited patiently.
yǐ bái shù yuè de jǐ shì lún huí 、 jiā qǐ lái bǎi nián de yī xué sù yǎng ， liǎng rén dào yě bù zhì yú huó bù xià qù 。
以白漱月的几世轮回、加起来百年的医学素养，两人倒也不至于活不下去。
Baishushi knew that these two divine beings would engage in fierce combat soon, and that was when her chance would come.
zhǐ shì shān yě zhī zhōng ， huán jìng è liè 。 jiā zhī méi yǒu le jīng xuè xù mìng ， lǐ fán yuán běn hái suàn jiàn kāng de shēn tǐ ， què shì màn màn è huà le 。
只是山野之中，环境恶劣。加之没有了精血续命，李凡原本还算健康的身体，却是慢慢恶化了。
"I hope this is useful."
“ kàn lái ， xià yī cì yào xī qǔ jiào xùn 。 yào jiàn lì zì jǐ de shì lì ， bù néng quán jiāng xī wàng jì tuō zài bié rén shēn shàng 。” wèi le lǐ fán yī jì yào ， bái shù yuè kàn zhe zhú jiàn rù shuì de zhí ér ， àn zì xiǎng dào 。
“看来，下一次要吸取教训。要建立自己的势力，不能全将希望寄托在别人身上。”喂了李凡一剂药，白漱月看着逐渐入睡的侄儿，暗自想道。
Baishushi secretly glanced at the surroundings of Xuanjing.
bái shù yuè yě bù zhǐ wàng tā hái néng zhī chēng duō jiǔ ， suǒ xìng yě fàng qì le jiù zhì de niàn tou 。
白漱月也不指望他还能支撑多久，索性也放弃了救治的念头。
She did not just wait; she had been preparing for fifty years.
Baishushi looked at Li Fan's body, a flash of regret appearing in her eyes.
"Zhenren!"
"The progress is too slow. I'm just an ordinary person. It seems I need to think of ways to speed things up."
Plan for Sainthood V!
This time, Baishushi took multiple approaches, combining the strengths of several methods and developing a way that could successfully extend Li Fan's life.
Using the power of Prince Yan, she gathered many young and strong people, extracting their blood and infusing it into Li Fan's body when he was having an episode.
Baishushi carefully selected these robust bloods to ensure they did not clash with Li Fan'sfate constitution (destiny). With this nourishment, Li Fan's complexion improved somewhat.
This was a historic breakthrough! Baishushi was overjoyed.
However, maintaining Li Fan's life required a large amount of young and strong people's blood. Although Prince Yan's power could easily handle such a small number, using human blood to treat someone was shocking. Moreover, the news somehow leaked out, making everyone aware.
The common people were outraged, ministers were indignant, and the emperor was furious.
Forced to take responsibility, Prince Yan had to hand Baishushi over for punishment.
Fortunately, Baishushi was alert and had set up spies in the palace long ago. She managed to escape with Li Fan before being caught.
Although they became known as "monsters" throughout Great Xuan, they could still survive by hiding deep in the mountains.
With her accumulated medical knowledge from several lifetimes, the two of them were not about to starve to death.
However, living in the wilderness was harsh. Without the blood transfusions, Li Fan's originally healthy body gradually deteriorated.
"Next time, I must learn from this experience and establish my own power base," Baishushi thought as she watched her nephew fall asleep after giving him a medicine.
She no longer expected much from him and gave up on treating his illness. Instead, she took him to travel around the mountains, leading a completely different life.
Unexpectedly, they discovered a cave one day.
"Uncle, I feel better here."
Li Fan's words surprised Baishushi greatly.
This was something that had never happened in any of her previous lifetimes. She carefully examined the cave.
It seemed like someone used to live there, but not much remained.
There was just a piece of stone emitting strange energy and an jade tablet.
Baishushi, who prided herself on her knowledge, was bewildered by these items.
Although she did not know what they were, they must have helped Li Fan's condition.
Inspired, Baishushi decided to live in this cave and try to decipher the secrets of the jade tablet and stone.
Unfortunately, even after Li Fan's death, she made no progress.
She cremated his remains and carried these items with her as she traveled across the land, seeking someone who might know about them. But there was nothing to be found.
As Baishushi neared the end of this lifetime, a rumor spread like wildfire.
A divine being had come from the east, bringing down heavenly punishment, turning Xuanjing into ruins and causing countless deaths.
Baishushi was shocked by this news; it was something that never happened in any of her previous lifetimes!
"Why is this happening?"
She first felt confused, then realized:
"Perhaps my lifespan this time is much longer than before for some reason."
"This year is..."
"Fifty years later?"
"I have unknowingly lived so long?"
Baishushi was stunned. She took out the strange items she carried with her.
The jade tablet showed no change.
But the stone...
It seemed smaller than when she first found it.
Baishushi had a hunch.
She set off for Xuanjing, trying to gather more information about the divine beings while attempting to "absorb" the energy from the stone.
Unfortunately, before she could return to the capital, her lifespan was almost over.
"Zhenren!"
"The progress is still too slow!"
"But I can't rush it. The path of sainthood spans countless lifetimes; there must be no flaws."
"Otherwise, I will fail at the last moment!"
Li Fan's voice echoed in the darkness.
Seventh lifetime!
Due to her terrifying experience from the previous life, Baishushi was wary of divine objects this time. But for Li Fan's sake, she decided to continue researching them.
She temporarily abandoned contact with the stone and instead used the method from the previous life to activate the jade tablet.
At that moment, Baishushi braced herself for another sudden aging but was surprised when a text appeared in her mind.
"I tried this before. But back then, the jade tablet did not react."
"My feelings were right."
Although she didn't know what each change meant, it seemed like good news from now on.
Baishushi carefully read the contents of the jade tablet and gradually became shocked.
"Xiao Wuxing Gongfa (Minor Five Elements Technique)?"
"What is this...?"
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Baishushi continued reading after she was fully composed.
To her relief, although some parts were unclear, the overall meaning was not difficult to understand.
"The five elements' energy from heaven and earth can be absorbed into the body to strengthen the organs..."
"Medical texts do mention the elemental attributes of organs. But five element energies?"
Baishushi frowned slightly.
"Lingqi, lingqi..."
She thought about the stone again.
"According to this technique, one cannot practice without energy."
"But based on my past experiences, it seems that energy is a poison for me..."
Baishushi was at a loss but pinned her hopes on the two divine beings who would arrive in fifty years.
Time passed quickly.
Two streaks of light descended from the sky like meteors. Thunder roared across the land.
"Daoxuanzi! Don't be so tyrannical!"
...
From a safe distance outside Xuanjing, Baishushi watched the two figures in the sky, feeling unexpectedly excited.
This was her first time truly seeing divine beings.
But she did not rush to meet them. Instead, she waited patiently.
Baishushi knew that these two divine beings would engage in fierce combat soon, and that was when her chance would come.
"I hope this is useful."
Baishushi secretly glanced at the surroundings of Xuanjing.
She did not just wait; she had been preparing for fifty years.
