Four Eyes remained silent, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Ling Li. The ache of his wife's absence weighed heavily on him, an unspoken longing that had grown insatiable over the past ten days.

Meanwhile, the twins, brimming with joy and curiosity, indulged in their meal, their hearts full but unsure of how to share their own stories with their beloved mother.

The Living Room: Revelation

After the last morsels of dinner were consumed, Ling Li beckoned everyone into the intimate embrace of the living room.

The air was thick with anticipation, illuminated by the gentle glow of floating lanterns that danced softly in rhythm with protective wards humming a soothing melody. Ling Li stood at the center, her space ring emanating a faint luminescence that mirrored the magic surrounding her.

With a graceful wave of her hand, an astonishing array of jade boxes and crystal vials materialized around her, each one pulsating with a vibrant essence of refined qi — true masterpieces of alchemical artistry.

Gasps of awe reverberated through the room like music.

"These," Ling Li began, her voice a serene yet powerful whisper that filled the space, "are the fruits of ten arduous days of seclusion. Each pill, each elixir, is crafted with meticulous precision, sacrificial intent, and profound dedication."

Her hand glided forward to reveal the first gem — the Nirvana Elixir, a radiant orb of shimmering light that floated effortlessly above her palm, almost as if it were breathing.

"This is the Nirvana Elixir. Should Shi Min falter during his tribulation, this single vial can call him back from the brink of despair. But its power is finite — it can only grant such a second chance once."

She moved fluidly to the following collection.

"These are the body conditioning pills," she explained, her voice imbued with urgency. "They work to realign your meridians, fortify your bones, and enhance the flow of your qi. Their effects are intense, even painful, but they are undeniably effective."

Then came the boosting pills. "For speed, reflexes, and unimaginable strength. The essence of Phoenix Heart Blood ignites them, ensuring their energy resonates deeply with your very soul."

Ling Li's gaze shifted, highlighting the enhancing pills. "These can elevate clarity, sharpen perception, and deepen spiritual understanding. Crafted with void flame and sealed with charms of mental focus, they invite transcendence."

A small collection of healing potions and pills shimmered in the dim light. "For grievous wounds, internal injuries, and even soul fractures. Each vial pulses with a vitality that feels almost alive. Such as this Revival Pill that has a remarkable dual advantage:

Firstly, it serves as a source of nourishment for the body. Just a single pill is enough to mend a myriad of injuries, whether they be visible wounds on the surface or hidden ailments within. With the intake of two pills, the body experiences a profound rejuvenation, restoring vitality and strength to its fullest potential.

Secondly, this extraordinary pill acts as a powerful detoxifier, adept at combating the effects of poisons. A single pill offers a protective shield for the heart, fortifying it against harmful toxins. However, with the consumption of two pills, the body undergoes a complete cleansing, purging itself of any lingering poisons and returning to a state of pure health."

Ling Li paused for a moment, allowing the weight of her words to settle into the hearts of her audience.

"These are not mere medicines. They are heaven-defying creations. That is precisely why the world, with all its darkness, covets them."

Turning her gaze to everyone, she continued, "You all witnessed it yourself — the assassins, the sects converging with insatiable greed."

Everyone nodded, understanding the gravity of their situation.

Ling Li pressed on, her voice steady and unwavering. "Alchemy transcends just cultivation. It embodies raw talent, unparalleled precision, and unyielding sacrifice. Each refinement extracts a toll on the soul, while every failure invites perilous backlash. Even the most powerful immortals tread with caution."

She locked eyes with each person present, an unspoken connection bridging their fears and hopes.

"Many desire to steal rather than to refine. Everyone recognizes the truth: what I have crafted here holds the potential to alter the fates of entire nations or even the rest of the world."

A heavy silence enveloped them, thick with the enormity of her revelations.

Finally, El Padre broke the stillness with quiet admiration. "And you achieved this all alone."

Ling Li's lips curled into a warm smile. "Not alone. You all safeguarded my endeavors. And now, we stand together as protectors of one another."

The Distribution: A Warrior's Banter

The living room was bathed in a warm, inviting glow from the softly flickering lanterns that adorned the walls, casting gentle shadows that danced like specters in the corners of the room. The air was thick with an almost palpable aura — the lingering qi of Ling Li's solitary meditation, still humming with energy, as if the room itself were alive with whispers of ancient wisdom.

Before her, on a low table crafted from rich mahogany, rows of exquisitely designed jade boxes and delicate crystal vials sparkled with a spectral vibrance — each a meticulous creation of alchemy, each imbued with a purpose as unique as the soul it was destined to assist.

Ling Li, a vision of serene strength, stood at the head of the room, her silver hair flowing like molten moonlight down her back, shimmering with an ethereal glow that contrasted beautifully with her rich, earth-toned robes. Her presence was both radiant and grounded, a living testament to the wisdom she embodied.

With an elegant sweep of her hand, she quieted the murmurs of anticipation that had built up in the room. "Recognize each one of them," she intoned, her voice a calm yet commanding presence that resonated in the hearts of those gathered as she handed out their portions. "And don't get them mixed up. Every pill is crafted for your specific constitution. Misuse could be dangerous."

The group leaned closer, their eyes wide and filled with awe, each person a silent testament to the reverence they felt in her presence, as they each received their share.
