Chapter 253 Enlightenment

"Quick! Invite people here quickly!"

Hearing that there was such a master and such an elixir, the emperor immediately became energetic. He seemed to be four or five years younger even though he had not taken any medicine yet.

Very good!

With this magical medicine, I can show off my glory again!

Thinking of the past pleasures in the bed, the emperor felt his heart surge and his blood surge. He wished he could have a real fight now.

It's a pity that I have more ambition but not enough strength.

"My slave obeys your orders."

Eunuch Fusheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went down to bring the person.

Not long after, Eunuch Fusheng led what he called the "immortal chief" back to the main hall.

Looking at the "immortal chief" in front of him, the emperor's brows suddenly frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like twisted tree roots.

He originally thought that he would be an old Taoist priest with white hair and pale face, but he never expected that he would be a young Taoist priest with a noble appearance and an outstanding bearing.

This Taoist priest looks to be only in his twenties. He has a tall and straight figure, firm skin, lush black hair tied up leisurely, and bright eyes with a piercing light. At a glance, you can tell that he has an extraordinary temperament.

How much magical power can such a young Taoist priest possess?

For a while, the emperor had doubts about Eunuch Fusheng's words.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I am poor and simple, I have met Your Majesty."

The young Taoist priest shook off the dust and nodded slightly.

"Hmm." The emperor nodded slightly and said, "I wonder where my master comes from, how old he is, and what kind of miraculous elixir he can make?"

His tone was calm, without the excitement he felt when he first heard it, which showed that he didn't believe the young Taoist priest in front of him at all.

"The poor Taoist master is from the Taiqing lineage and has a life span of more than two hundred and three years."

"The elixir is called 'Returning Yang Pill'. If you take it frequently, it can nourish the yin and yang qi, maintain your appearance and health, and have the effect of rejuvenating your youth."

When he heard the young man say that he was more than two hundred years old, the emperor's eyes suddenly narrowed and he said coldly:

"The crime of deceiving the emperor should be punished by the nine tribes."

"Taoist Master, please don't lie."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord." The Taoist priest sang the Taoist chant and said confidently: "A poor Taoist never talks nonsense."

"When I came to Kyoto, I didn't seek fame or profit."

"Just to relieve your worries and support the country."

"Huh?" The emperor's expression suddenly changed and he asked:

"The Taoist priest said that he wanted to 'support the country', but I don't know where the words came from?"

As an emperor, he lives a long and healthy life, so how can the country be in danger of overthrowing? Where is the use of the word "support"?

When the young Taoist priest heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient."

"Why not try Pindao's 'Returning Yang Pill' first?"

"If it doesn't work, I will just talk nonsense like a poor man and have no regrets in life or death."

"If it is effective, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if the poor Taoist can help the Holy One to clear up his doubts?"

Dong Dong——Dong——

The emperor's fingertips gently tapped the dragon chair, and then glanced at the bowing eunuch Fusheng and the elegant young Taoist priest, and finally said:

"In that case, Xuan Ren, test the medicine!"

As an emperor, he naturally wanted to see the effect of the medicine with his own eyes before taking it.

The holy edict was issued, and soon a white-haired old man who was over seventy years old was brought into the temple.

"This man is in his seventies this year and has been abstinent for many years. Will your elixir be effective on him?"

The emperor pointed to the white-haired old man in the hall and asked the young Taoist priest.

An old man who is almost eighty years old has dirt buried to the root of his hair. If such a person wants to regain his glory, it is natural that ordinary pills cannot do it.

But the young Taoist priest was still confident and chuckled:

"Don't say seventy-four, even if it is ninety-four, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate small box from his sleeve robe, opened the lid, and found two golden pills inside.

The golden elixir is crystal clear and round, like jade. Under the sunlight, it scatters colorful lights from time to time, like a star falling from the sky.

"This 'Returning Yang Pill' was passed down from the ancient Pre-Qin Dynasty and took seven, seven and forty-nine days to be refined."

"There were four pills when the furnace was opened. I used two pills for the test a few days ago, and there are still two pills left."

The emperor listened to his introduction and nodded slightly.

Apart from anything else, at least the appearance of this elixir is truly extraordinary. Not only does it have a rich aroma, it also emits a dazzling divine light.

Soon, the eunuch in the palace took the pill box from the young Taoist priest, took out one pill and fed it to the old man who was testing the pill.

After the elixir entered his belly, the old man felt a hot breath rising from his belly and began to travel towards his limbs and bones.

Every time the yang energy reached anywhere, the old man felt his body become numb and comfortable, and the qi and blood in his body were stimulated, as if he had taken a hot bath.

In the eyes of outsiders, the effect of this elixir is even more miraculous.

The old man's dry and rough skin, which was as dry and rough as tree bark, was becoming smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye. The yellowish silver hair on his head was also starting to turn black from the roots. The whole person seemed to be rejuvenated.

Unfortunately, this change did not last long, and it ended after just a cup of tea.

Although the old man, who is over seventy years old, has not really returned to his boyhood, he looks at least ten years younger!

What an elixir!

What an elixir!

Everyone in the hall took a deep breath.

I didn’t expect that there is such a magical medicine in the world that can make an old man with gray hair and chicken skin look more than ten years younger!

"I am getting younger!"

"I'm getting younger!"

"Hahahaha! I'm really getting younger!"

The old man looked at the smooth skin on his hands and jumped up in surprise and joy, completely forgetting that he was in the palace at the moment.

"Bring him here! Bring him here quickly!"

The emperor gave an order and ordered the guards to bring the old man to him so that he could observe him up close.

Looking at the radiant and rejuvenated old man, the emperor was extremely surprised:

This, this really makes me look younger!

"No, Immortal!"

Looking at the young Taoist priest in the palace, the emperor's eyes were full of enthusiasm and reverence, and he said in a trembling voice:

"It turns out that I was ignorant and offended the Immortal. I ask the Immortal not to blame me."

"I only ask the Immortal to give you the magic medicine. I will build a palace and temple for the Immortal and spread the great reputation."

The young Taoist priest flicked the whisk in his hand and said with a calm smile:

"Your Majesty, there is no need for this."

"Pindao has already made it clear that he is not here to seek fame or fortune, but to relieve everyone's worries and support the country."

The emperor who originally didn't take it seriously, after seeing the magical effect of the "elixir", suddenly looked solemn and asked respectfully:

"Please also ask the Immortal Chief to tell me, where is the country in danger?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord." The Taoist priest made seals with his hands and replied: "The poor Taoist was in the cave sky, observing the atmosphere of the world, and saw the phenomenon of 'python bird swallowing dragon' in the southwest of Beijing."

"Thinking of all the people in the world, I came here to inform Your Majesty."

Southwest of Beijing is the Huguang area.

The emperor thought in his mind: What the immortal said, "The python swallows the dragon" must mean that the royal family wants to use weapons to bring chaos to the world.

Huguang has always been prosperous, and there are hundreds of descendants of the royal family raised there. How can one know someone with evil intentions?

"Please tell me, the Immortal, where this python was born?" the emperor asked.

"The secret of heaven must not be leaked." The young Taoist priest smiled but did not answer.

Later, he bowed his head again and said:

"It's over now, I'm leaving now."

As soon as the words fell, the Taoist priest's figure shattered like a mirror, and the whole person suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Immortal!" the emperor exclaimed and hurriedly chased him out of the palace.

The rest of the people in the palace also followed the emperor's footsteps.

When they walked outside the temple, they could no longer see the young Taoist priest. They could only hear the long cry of the cranes coming from the blue sky and white clouds.

The scorching sun was rising, and the eunuch Fusheng who was accompanying him advised:

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Chief has left. You'd better go back to the palace to avoid being exposed to the heat!"

However, the emperor turned a deaf ear to this and only murmured in a low voice:

"Yellow Crane. Yellow Crane"
