Chapter 35 Gambling(1/2)
When this question was thrown out, the hall instantly became quiet.
Although there are sages who have followed the example, it is a national matter after all, and it would be too childish to use gambling.
However, as an envoy, they are now making moves. If they dare not take the move, it seems a bit embarrassing.
I saw that the emperor didn't seem to hesitate at all, so he sneered: "I'm afraid you won't succeed, so why are you betting?"
All the ministers below were slightly stunned.[
Lord Xue, one of the three princes in the dynasty, seemed to want to stop him, but Zhang Tianhu, who was behind him, gave him a slight tug on his clothes and then said nothing.
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of impressive magnanimity, but what he wants to gamble with is simple."
After saying that, Kun Yulong escaped from his arms and took out a brocade box. After opening it, in the palm of his hand, there was a brilliant light and a strange fragrance, which immediately covered all the atmosphere in the hall.
Liu Xia took a closer look and couldn't help but gasped. It was a very rare ninth-grade elixir. It would take a peak Onmyoji master to refine it.
As a new onmyoji master, Liu Xia naturally knew what kind of process this elixir required.
With the number of people in the Tianji Dynasty, refining such an elixir shouldn't be a big deal, but Liu Xia always felt that it wasn't that simple.
"Boy, do you know what this elixir is called?"
Ao Cangqiong suddenly asked.
"I don't know, but it looks like it's just an ordinary ninth-grade elixir, and the quality isn't the best either."
Liu Xia said suspiciously.
"Then you are wrong. This elixir does look ordinary, but there is another mystery behind it. The method of refining this elixir is called the reversal of yin and yang, the unity of heaven and earth. It was created by the great Onmyoji master of the generation, Lin Yi Ke. You
It looks like one elixir, but in fact, it is two elixirs. The outer shell is a function, and the inner core is
, is another effect. In one elixir, the effects of two elixirs are integrated, and they complement each other, bringing the effects of the two elixirs to the extreme. Theoretically, this craft can be refined at most
Making the nine layers is called the Golden Pill of Perfection. This is the highest achievement of the Onmyoji, and it has been surpassed by people throughout the ages."
Ao Cangqiong explained.
When Liu Xia heard this, he was stunned.
Refining several elixirs at the same time does not seem to be a problem, but refining several elixirs at the same time is quite difficult.
Then, it is even more difficult to fuse the two elixirs together at the same time.
Moreover, the quality of this elixir is already at the ninth level. If calculated this way, it would require at least a Tianwen level onmyoji master.
Looking at the Tianji Dynasty, there is only one Tianwen-level Onmyoji, and that is Lord Duan of Longdu.
However, in the later period, Mr. Duan has devoted all his energy to forging magic weapons. I am afraid that it would be very difficult for Mr. Duan to copy such a pill now.
When the emperor saw this elixir, he couldn't help but froze there.[
Although the emperor is not an onmyoji, he is still an emperor and has extensive knowledge. He can see the weirdness of this elixir at a glance.
"I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so many years. Guixiang's alchemy skills have reached such an extent. I would like to congratulate you. The Tianxuan Dynasty finally has a Tianwen-level onmyoji."
The emperor frowned and said.
"Your Majesty's eyes are indeed as bright as fire. This elixir was indeed refined recently by ghosts from our country. However, does your Majesty dare to accept the challenge?"
Kun Yulong smiled lightly.
Liu Xia realized at this moment that Kun Yulong was really a scheming person.
This seemingly ingenious little trick directly fooled the emperor.
This does not mean that the emperor is stupid.
Rather, he knows the current emperor like the back of his hand.
The hole has been dug, waiting for you to jump in.
However, the emperor seemed to see it early on and had to jump.
For no other reason, Liu Xia happened to listen twice during the morning session today.
Today, the pirates in the southern border of Tianji Dynasty are still making trouble and have not been completely quelled.
If a war breaks out with the Tianxuan Dynasty and we are attacked from both sides, the country's financial resources will really be overwhelmed.
Therefore, Liu Xia guessed that it was not that the emperor did not want to fight, but that the opportunity was not available.
If the problem can be solved without resorting to violence, that would undoubtedly be the best solution.
However, he did not expect that a Tianwen-level Onmyoji suddenly appeared from the other side, which surprised the emperor.
After all, the Tianwen-level Onmyoji is a terrifying existence more powerful than the Saint.
Just like Mr. Duan of Longdu, although he has retired and does not appear in public, he still has a strong appeal in the Tianji Dynasty.
I'm afraid, as long as he gives the order, countless masters in the world will sacrifice their lives for him.
Who has never turned to Onmyoji?
The emperor knew clearly at this moment that even if he invited Master Duan to come out, he might not be able to win.[
However, it would be too cowardly to just admit defeat like this.
Moreover, Mahui Slope is a battleground for military strategists, and we must not just give it to them.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Tianji Dynasty is full of talented people. Why? You dare not accept the challenge? If you don't dare, then according to the proposal we just made, there will be no need to argue with Ma Huipo anymore, right?"
Kun Yulong smiled coldly with a bit of pride.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was helpless.
If you want to find a master saint to come out to fight, even though the saints are like phoenixes, there are still a few who can support the scene.
However, Tianwen level Onmyoji is not something you can have just by saying you want it.
Even if there are, most of them are outsiders who don't care about this trivial matter of your Tianji Dynasty.
When Liu Xia saw this, he knew that it was time to show off.
Immediately, Liu Xia took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor was worried when he suddenly saw Liu Xia coming out of the queue and couldn't help but be curious.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Liu Xia had this ability, but maybe Liu Xia knew a talent in this field.
"Haha, Haoxuan, what do you have to say?"
"If Weichen is not mistaken, this elixir is made using the method of inverting yin and yang and unifying heaven and earth. Weichen knows some tricks like this. I beg your majesty, let Weichen go into battle to enhance the prestige of our country.
.”
Liu Xia said calmly, cupping his fists.
At this moment, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Liu Xia's age is only sixteen or seventeen.
Although he was dressed majestically today, his face still looked childish.
I'm afraid no one will believe that he is an Onmyoji of the Tianwen level.
"Who is this?"
Kun Yulong asked curiously at this moment.
"I am Prince Weiyuan of the Tianji Dynasty."
"It turns out to be His Highness the Prince. I'm being disrespectful. Just now you said you wanted to refine this elixir? Did I hear you correctly?"
"Haha, you heard it right. In our Tianji dynasty, this kind of elixir is really not worth mentioning. Just find an onmyoji and you can make dozens of them and eat them as jelly beans. I am not talented.
I’d like to show you something.”
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
"Okay, okay! If Prince Weiyuan can refine it, I will be convinced. The matter of Ma Huipo will be settled. However, let's talk about the ugly things up front. What if you can't refine it?"
Kun Yulong was sure that Liu Xia couldn't refine it at all, so he was afraid.
At this moment, the emperor looked at Liu Xia, his eyes full of suspicion.
But at this time, Liu Xia could only give it a try.
Otherwise, tonight, the Tianji Dynasty would not only be disgraced, but also lose its city and territory, which is really inappropriate.
"Haoxuan, this kind of elixir cannot be easily obtained. How sure are you?"
The emperor asked softly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this kind of elixir is eaten by all the ministers like jelly beans. I guess the Tianxuan Dynasty has also seen high-end products, and today it will open their eyes."
Liu Xia shouted very loudly.
Originally, the emperor had no confidence in him, but what he just said revealed that the method of refining the elixir was to reverse yin and yang and to unite heaven and earth, which showed that he at least knew.
Now that there was really no way out, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay, don't embarrass me."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I never do anything I'm not sure about."
