It is getting noon.

Almost all the kings, princes and ministers who came to the banquet were here and sat in the hall, chatting and laughing lively.

Li Yu, Chu Tianxiu and others sat at a table.

The old Hun Hou Chu Yong also hurried back and sat down next to Chu Tianxiu. He changed into a new Marquis' Crown Clothes, and his smile on his face could not close his mouth.

"The Emperor is here!"

Cai and the eunuchs' sharp voices rang in the palace.

Emperor Xiang Yanran handled the government affairs last night and returned to the bedroom to rest until the morning. Now he finally came to the palace banquet.

Empress Dowager Chen sat in the main seat of the banquet.

Xiang Yanran took his seat next to the Empress Dowager.

The noisy and lively Golden Palace finally calmed down quickly. The princes, princes, princes, nobles, and ladies stood up to worship and welcome the emperor to arrive.

"Today's first day of the first lunar month, I invite you to the palace banquet. Don't be too polite. Get up, not morning court, just be more casual."

Xiang Yanran smiled.

The emperor has arrived, and the banquet on the first day of the first lunar month has officially begun.

The palace maids were like flowing water, serving wine and food for the kings and princes. The open space in the center of the hall was also singing and dancing, to cheer for the emperor and the ministers.

Empress Dowager Chen asked with a smile, "What are the old immortal Li busy with in recent years?"

"In May, I went to Shanxi to pray for rain, and took the stage to cast spells, and a heavy rain fell to relieve the drought. In September, I went to the East China Sea to find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that prolongs life. I thought about bringing it back to the Queen Mother, but unfortunately I searched for it for several months and had no harvest.

Just returned to Xuanwu Temple in Jinling City this year ago, I happened to meet the visit of the miracle Doctor Chunyu and invited him to the palace for a banquet."

Li Natural said, still feeling a little regretful.

Queen Mother Chen couldn't help but feel deeply relieved, "Old Fairy Li traveled thousands of miles to Shanxi to pray for rain and relieve the sufferings of the people. It's really hard for you to go to the East China Sea to find Ganoderma lucidum grass. Such immortal things that are hard to come by, and the Ai family will not have this blessing."

"I haven't seen the emperor and Empress Dowager Shen for many years. I'm thinking about it. At the end of the year, I happened to go back to Jinling City and invited Li Xianchang to the palace to see it. Today, I saw that the emperor and the empress dowager were safe and healthy, and I felt at ease."

Chunyu Chun smiled and said.

"Haha, there is a great disciple of the miracle doctor Chunyu in the palace, and I and the Queen Mother are at ease. The wine and food have been put on, and the family members have started to drink, eat and chat, and it is more lively!"

Xiang Yanran said.

The kings, princes and ministers in the hall raised their glasses to wish the emperor and the queen mother good health, and then the guests drank and ate vegetables, talked to each other, and were lively.

"Pray for rain, so will I!"

Dong Xianliang disagreed and said.

He and his mentor Kong Hanyou sat at a table, not far from Chu Tianxiu's table.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but be surprised and turned around and asked, "This is Taoism. Brother Dong, you are a Confucian scholar, how could you?"

The young people next to them were surprised.

"If the sky closes the yang energy, it will rain. If the sky closes the yin energy, the rain will stop. The sky has yin and yang, and people also have yin and yang. Just let the man not go out, it can increase the yin energy of heaven and earth. If the woman does not go out, it can increase the yang energy of heaven and earth. Rainfall, stop rain, and follow my control. This is not the method of immortals, it is just a simple yin and yang of heaven and earth, cycle changes."

Dong Xianliang said calmly and confidently: "When I become a county magistrate and govern the party, I will implement this method, and I will definitely make the weather in a county good and there will be no more drought or flood."

He has been studying the theory of yin and yang rain prayer for decades. He only regrets that he is not a local parent official and cannot verify the effect.

Once he takes office, he will try the magical effect of the Yin-Yang Rain Prayer Technique.

"If the yang energy is closed, it will rain; if the yin energy is closed, it will sunny. This statement makes sense!"

"Brother Dong is worthy of being a talented man in Jinling. He can tell the mystery of it in one sentence."

Everyone was a little shocked and amazed when they heard this.

"I dare not, I will study the techniques of Yin and Yang in the following. The so-called magical arts are just small techniques."

Dong Xianliang smiled and bowed.

"Brother Dong, Gao Cai! I admire you, I admire you!"

Chu Tianxiu was stunned for a while and bowed speechlessly.

never mind.

We should not be too demanding whether the ancients two thousand years ago were able to use the yin and yang closure to explain the principle of sun and rain. We are already a serious person who has used the brains.

The others didn't use this mind at all.

...

They are not very lively here.

The most lively thing in the hall is the old immortal Li Nan. As a Taoist priest who is famous all over the world, his mouth is so bleating.

From going to Shanxi to pray for rain, to going out to the East China Sea to find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

What I saw and heard along the way in Shanxi, how miserable the people were in the severe drought, and how ecstatic they were after the rain.

The hardships and dangers of going to the East China Sea, and when you go out to sea, you will encounter a sea monster like a hill. The story tells you, which makes you feel thrilling and moved when you hear it.

When the kings, princes and ministers asked about the details, he could tell them in detail, which surprised everyone.

Emperor Xiang Yanran listened silently.

Those strange adventures of sea beasts in the East China Sea do not believe or care much about them.

However, what Mr. Li saw and heard along the way in Shanxi and encountered the drought among the people, he was still moved.

The old god is not an official of the court, so there is no need to hide anything from it. Check and compare the situations mentioned by the old god with the disaster reported by Shanxi officials to know whether the officials have concealed the disaster.

It is obvious that the county magistrates in Shanxi still concealed the seriousness of the disaster.

Fortunately, when Old Shenxian Li left Shanxi, it finally rained heavily, alleviating the drought.

Chu Tianxiu suddenly stood up and asked with a smile: "Old Fairy Li, you have great magical powers, can you refine immortal pills? Is it the kind of immortal pill that can live forever after eating?"

"Unolded Immortal Pill?"

Li Natural's face was stunned when he heard this.

Since Qin Shihuang, many Taoist priests who failed to refine immortal pills have been killed, so the Taoist priests dare not easily refine immortal pills.

He also boasted to his disciples in private that he had the secret magic of immortal elixirs passed down from ancient times. But this was just a matter of saying to his disciples and ordinary people in Xuanwu Temple.

I dare not say it easily in the palace.

Of course, it is wealth.

But I can't refine it, I will be beheaded by the emperor.

In the Golden Palace, the three princes and princes in the court heard Chu Tianxiu's question and looked at the old god Li Nan with eager eyes.

Of course, there were also some dissatisfied gazes like Kong Hanyou, Dong Xianliang and others who looked at Li Natural.

Li Natural's thoughts changed.

It would be absolutely inappropriate if he denied in public that he could refine the elixir.

An old immortal who cannot refine immortal pills will inevitably disappoint everyone. What qualifications are there to be called an "old immortal"?

He is not much more wise than other Taoist priests.

"this..."

The old Taoist priest Li Nan pondered and considered his words, "There is a secret recipe for immortal elixir passed down from ancient times, and it is not impossible to refine immortal elixirs.

However, it is too difficult. You need to search all the famous Sichuan and mountains, collect dozens or hundreds of flavors and thousands of years of strange medicines, use spiritual dew from heaven as liquid, and then use the divine fire of heaven and earth to create a divine furnace for ten years to refine the alchemy.

This elixir is very expensive and cannot be practiced without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for ten or twenty years.

This Taoist used to spend a lot of money more than a hundred years ago and spent more than ten years searching for famous mountains and rivers. It was only then that I was lucky enough to cultivate a pair. After taking it, I have been caring for it. It is extremely difficult to practice again!"

This statement is unsightly.

Li Natural admitted that he could refine alchemy skills and made everyone admire him, but he could easily avoid the huge risk of refining alchemy.

When all the kings, princes and ministers heard this, they were both envious and regretful.

This elixir does exist, but it is too rare. At least they don’t have this blessing.

After living for 170 years, Old God Li was only one of them in front of him. If the immortal pills were so easy to be refined, wouldn’t it be everywhere that Old God Li was everywhere?!

Chu Tianxiu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

This old Taoist priest really dares to brag! He is not afraid of being blown away by the cowhide.

However, as long as he admits that he can refine elixirs, it will be fine.

It's him.

It takes no time to find a place to find a broken iron shoe.

He thought for a long time and had to take the blame. Old Fairy Li must take it.

"Old Fairy Li is indeed the number one immortal in the world. I am willing to fund 100,000 taels of silver to help you refine the elixir and offer it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
