Shun Long's heart started beating erratically when he saw Liu Mei's condition.

From her weakened breathing, he understood, that Liu Mei was most likely not going to survive.

After all, Shun Long had already experienced a soul tearing pain from the Golden Book in the past when his soul had been forcibly expanded, but what Liu Mei was suffering right now, was a direct attack to her soul.

Additionally, unlike Shun Long, she wasn't an alchemist, and her soul wasn't much stronger than normal cultivators.

Shun Long gritted his teeth, before he gently propped up Liu Mei's back, and placed her in a sitting position.

Parting her lips open with his hand, he let her swallow a top-grade rank 4 'Sun-healing pill'.

Although the 'Sun-healing pill' would have no effect on her soul, the energy inside it would at least nourish her body.

Little Black and the silver-winged panther watched their anxious master, who placed Liu Mei's body in a lying down position once again, before his eyes looked around him.

Shun Long's attention was instantly focused on the corpse of the 'Spellsinger bird' that was lying on the ground with its neck broken, before he had Little Black bring it in front of him.

Neither the dragon nor the black panther made any noise, as they allowed Shun Long to ponder over what he wanted to do.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, before Shun Long finally decided to dissect the peak rank 5 'Spellsinger bird'.

Soon, with Little Black's help, the peak rank 5 bird was cut into many pieces.

Shun Long then stayed silent for a moment, as he tried to think of the sequence in which he should add everything.

He planned to refine a new pill for Liu Mei, by using the medicinal herbs in the 'Stone of Time', as well as the most important parts from the 'Spellsinger bird'.

''First, I should add the 'Spellsinger bird's' heart and refine it along with its beast core as the main medicinal ingredients. After all, the heart and beast core are the 2 things in its body that are the most beneficial to a cultivator's soul. They should be able to nourish your soul and ease your pain. Mei'er... you can't die!''

Shun Long then took out his medicinal cauldron, as well as more than 20 medicinal herbs from the 'Stone of Time'.

His hands conjured a qi flame, as he started to warm the alchemy cauldron, but every moment felt like an eternity.

With every second passing, Shun Long could see that Liu Mei's situation was worsening even further.

At this rate, he wouldn't be able to make it in time.

''Right! Time!

Although I can't use the 'Monarch's Domain' on Mei'er and slow down the deterioration of her condition, I can still use the second 'Monarch's Domain' on myself!''

As this thought flashed through Shun Long's mind, a bright blue light covered his body, as well as his medicinal cauldron, while the flow of time around him became many times faster than the outside world.

The cauldron was quickly warmed up as Shun Long started adding inside the medicinal herbs.

He first placed the 'Spellsinger bird's' heart inside, along with a dozen rank 3 and rank 4 herbs, refining their essences at the same time.

The purple blood from the bird's heart was quickly fused with the essence of the medicinal herbs, creating a deep purple liquid.

After he had added in all of the medicinal herbs, Shun Long placed the peak rank 5 beast core inside the cauldron, while at the same time, he increased the temperature of his qi flames by more than double.

However, as the magic core of a peak rank 5 magic beast, it took a lot of effort and time for Shun Long to grind it down to its purest form.

The beast core of the 'Spellsinger bird' had finally turned into a ball of pink liquid, before it slowly started to merge with the purple liquid inside the cauldron.

Shun Long heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the 2 liquids had successfully fused into one.

More than 60 percent of his spiritual strength had been exhausted, as he refined the 'Spellsinger bird's' beast core into the pink liquid.

And yet, the most important part had just come, as Shun Long used his spiritual strength and started guiding the newly formed light-purple liquid to rotate inside the cauldron.

Beads of sweat had formed on Shun Long's forehead, but his attention was completely focused on forming the pill.

He knew that if he failed the pill refinement this time, there would be no second chances.

A quarter of an hour had passed inside the second 'Monarch's Domain', when the lid of the cauldron started buzzing.

Joy filled Shun Long's eyes when he saw the pink-colored pill inside the cauldron.

It was a pink pill that was filled with purple lines.

Regrettably, since Shun Long hadn't broken through to the rank 3 in the Spirit realm, his spiritual strength wasn't enough to properly refine rank 5 medicinal ingredients like the 'Spellsinger bird's' beast core, making the pill in front of him a middle-grade rank 5 pill instead of high-grade or top-grade one.

Shun Long didn't feel the slightest disappointment from this though, as he hurriedly stood up and turned his head towards Liu Mei.

The scene in front of his eyes however, sent shivers down his body.

Liu Mei's breathing had become so weak that it could be extinguished at any time, like a weak candle flame in front of a powerful wind.

Shun Long's hand started trembling, but he still parted Liu Mei's lips open before he placed the pink-colored pill inside her mouth. Using his spiritual strength, he then guided the pill as it dissolved into a pink liquid that was easily swallowed.

Shun Long then looked at Liu Mei with a hopeful look in his eyes, but his expression as well as the 2 magic beasts' suddenly changed.

An aura of death was coming from Liu Mei's body, while her already weak breathing had almost completely stopped!
