The two returned to Xue Ying’s original dwelling inside of the Infernal World, where they found Palace Head Chen and Mountain Lord He waiting for them.
"Xue Ying, are you alright?" Palace Head Chen could not help but ask of his health after seeing Xue Ying’s pale face covered in sweat.
"I’m fine. I should be able to resist for an entire day, and it’s still quite early." Xue Ying laughed. After Palace Head Chen handed Xue Ying the gourd containing the medicine, he also gave him a note of when he should be theoretically drinking the medicine. If he acted according to that timetable, he would be able to live for 200 more years.
For the first nine months, he was only allowed a single portion of the medicine each day.
