Chapter 20 Celestial Master Arrives and Offers Elixir
Every emperor in the past dynasties fantasized about immortality.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were competing for hegemony. Each prince recruited a large number of magicians in the palace to refine elixirs in order to seek immortality.
In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang even sent the warlock Xu Fu with 500 boys and 500 girls to Penglai to seek the elixir for immortality.
It's just that the magic of the elixir is too elusive, and it cannot withstand the invasion of time after all.
Although the lessons learned from the past are clearly visible, the emperors of later generations still have this obsession, which is to refine elixirs and seek immortality.
These warlocks were also the warlocks that Li Er sent people to search for after he won the throne. They all gathered in the palace, a separate palace. Their main task was to refine elixirs for themselves.
An old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand stood up, shouted to Wuliang Tianzun Fuchen, flicked it, and saluted Li Er.
"Heavenly Master, you are here. Someone will give you a seat."
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Heavenly Master is here today, but the elixir has been successfully refined?"
"Your Majesty, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, we have been refining it for ninety-nine and eighty-one days and have successfully opened the furnace.
Your Majesty is blessed by God and has refined a total of 10 pieces this time."
A Taoist boy stepped forward and handed over the elixir box. The eunuch on the side took the elixir box and placed the elixir on Li Er's desk.
Opening the elixir box, I saw ten elixirs lying quietly inside, which made people feel fairy-like just looking at them.
"Your Majesty's elixir this time, you have to wait half a month before you can take one pill."
"Oh? Didn't you take one pill every 10 days before? Why does it take half a month this time?"
"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and with the blessing of God, the elixir we have refined this time is more effective than the previous ones.
It contains more immortal energy. Now Your Majesty has not become an immortal and is still a mortal body.
If you eat too much at one time, your body will not be able to absorb this immortal energy.
On the contrary, it will cause irreversible effects on His Majesty’s body, Infinite Heavenly Lord!”
After this explanation, Li Er also understood that the elixir was not an extraordinary thing, and he needed his body to completely absorb the immortal energy!
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Your Majesty, I watched the sky last night, and there was immortal energy coming from the east gate of my country in the Tang Dynasty.
There must be something from the Immortal Family, and the old Taoist is willing to go to the southeast for Your Majesty to get that artifact from the Immortal Family!"
Li Er was overjoyed immediately after hearing this. Good things have happened one after another during this period. Now, on the southeast coast, immortal things have appeared, making Li Er even more excited.
"Tianshi, if that's the case, you can arrange the next thing by yourself."
"It's Your Majesty. In three days, the old Taoist will take some of my disciples to the southeast to obtain this magical thing for Your Majesty."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then the Taoist priest got up and left, going to the alchemy room to continue practicing.
The moment I returned to the alchemy room, I arrived at my residence and began to pack up my belongings and prepare to run away openly in three days.
It's a bullshit elixir, and only this group of dignitaries would believe it.
The elixir they refined themselves, what materials were used in it.
Only he knows that with so many things mixed together, this is not an elixir at all, but completely poison.
The reason why he shouldn't be allowed to eat too frequently is that he hopes he can live a few more years and they can make more money.
Now that I have worked for so many years, I have made enough money, and I have made so much money, it is time to retreat.
By then, the entire Tang Dynasty will be so big that you can feel free and at ease!
"Auxiliary engine."
"His Majesty."
Li Er asked someone to fetch a box, took out an elixir and put it in the box.
"This elixir is given to you by me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This is the elixir refined by the Heavenly Master. Your Majesty is taking it. Even though I have taken the elixir, I do not expect to be as immortal as your Majesty and to serve him forever.
But a long life of 100 years should be more than enough. Thinking of this, my old face lights up with joy.
"Auxiliary engine, the speed at which these heavenly masters are refining alchemy is still too slow.
I will send people to gather from all over the world, and then let them refine more elixirs.
At that time, in addition to me, you ministers of the humerus also hope that you can live forever like me!"
Changsun Wuji was so moved when he heard this...
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely be very embarrassed and will swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death!"
Changsun Wuji was extremely moved by His Majesty's words. Following Your Majesty, this life will be worth it!
"Auxiliary machine, do you think this elixir is more important than his brother Zhao Xian's telescope?"
"Your Majesty, this telescope can see several miles away. If a war breaks out, we can see the enemy from a distance. It is a weapon in war.
But this elixir can make people immortal, if the two are truly compared to each other.
It’s just a telescope, not even half as good as the elixir!”
Li Er smiled slightly, very satisfied!
He gave Changsun Wuji one pill of this elixir, and he still had 9 pills left. After eating 6 pills in three months, he still had 3 pills left.
It's just a pity that the master said that the Queen is a woman and is feminine, but these elixirs are masculine and not suitable for women to take.
Otherwise, these elixirs refined over the years would have been consumed by both of them long ago.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"I decided to use three elixirs in exchange for my wise brother's method of making a telescope.
Although I am a bit at a disadvantage, in the end Brother Zhao Xian has also helped me a lot, what do you think of the auxiliary machine?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Okay, you go ahead and wait for us to go there again in two days!"
"It's Your Majesty, I'm sorry to leave you!
"Chang Cun Wuji, who left the Tai Chi Hall, started to envy the little brother Zhao Mu.
The reason why I was so appreciated by His Majesty at such a young age and why His Majesty rewarded me with the elixir is because I am a relative of the Emperor and have always been by His Majesty's side to advise His Majesty.
As for that little brother Zhao Mu, they have only known each other for a month, and I still feel a little envious in my heart!
After Changsun Wuji left, Li Er began to get busy reviewing and approving the memorial.
As for what Qin Tianjian said about Ziweixing falling, he didn't take it personally.
Now that I am in my prime, I have many civil servants and military generals, and I am not afraid of any enemy causing trouble.
Whenever anyone dares to commit cholera in the Tang Dynasty, Li Er will send an army to suppress them with strong methods, letting them know the price of committing such a crime!
