De An feared that the Emperor might be tempted by the elixir again. Only after the Imperial Physician had verified it did De An feel assured enough to allow the Emperor to consume it.
The Emperor was hesitating initially, but De An provided him a way out, which he immediately took.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "Very well!"
The Emperor still felt unsettled inside; he could no longer fully trust the elixir from Tianji Taoist.
"Emperor, this humble Taoist is currently developing a more effective Lifespan Extension Pill, and some progress has already been made. However, two main herbs are still missing. I've dispatched people to find them, but as I grow anxious, I'm planning to go personally."
Tianji Taoist placed a green jade bottle on the table, "This is a month's supply of Qi Blood Pill. You only need to take it for a month, and your vitality will be even greater than before."
