Chapter 1773 No Solution

When I revisited Mount Tai, the time was different and everything had changed.

Gongsun Hong was quite ill, and Zhang Xuezhou and others had to work hard to get him down the mountain.

"I'm about to get sick. You take Mr. Gongsun to Zhichuan. We'll meet in Chang'an. Whoever doesn't go is a dog!"

Zhang Xuezhou made some simple arrangements, and Li Shaojun responded by barking twice.

This made Zhang Xuezhou almost want to slap Li Shaojun to death.

"Going to the court is not treasure hunting. As long as you can keep calm, it is not difficult to get some benefits," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"I wanted to make an alchemy furnace before, but I couldn't find one. You asked me to use the gourd, but now the gourd is gone." Li Shaojun asked, "What can I take to the court to make elixirs?"

"Two... two of you, if you need to use a good alchemy cauldron to make elixirs in the court, the court has a Nine Dragon Cauldron, which was inherited from the Qin Dynasty and is the top alchemy cauldron of the Qin Dynasty." Gongsun Hong introduced: "You two only need to use this cauldron to make elixirs, and you will definitely be able to make good elixirs!"

"Nine Dragon Cauldron?"

Zhang Xuezhou was suspicious.

Li Shaojun seemed to be thinking about something.

Bringing your own alchemy cauldron and other tools can enhance your authority, but it is also possible to use the court's top alchemy cauldron to make elixirs. It just requires changing some of the ways of doing things.

"Isn't this alchemy cauldron difficult to hold?" Zhang Xuezhou asked hesitantly.

"If the imperial court is looking for alchemy, you are not the ones in a hurry," Gongsun Hong reminded, "As long as you specify the cauldron and refine the elixir, someone will find a way to borrow the Nine Dragon Cauldron for you!"

"Makes sense!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

From proactively offering the alchemy furnace to leaving empty-handed, and directly asking the court to provide a top-level alchemy furnace, this was a huge shift in thinking.

Zhang Xuezhou and others' previous thinking mode was more inclined towards their own professionalism, making Li Shaojun look decent and stylish, so that people would believe it.

Gongsun Hong's suggestion was the opposite. He suggested that Li Shaojun and others directly borrow the important weapons of the imperial court.

If the equipment provided by the court did not meet the standards, there would at least be an excuse for the failure of alchemy, and it would also be convenient to have a way out.

He whispered a few words, which made Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun's eyes light up.

It has to be said that although Gongsun Hong's career was not smooth, he was quite clear about the rules of the court, and the other party's suggestions would help people avoid many detours.

"That is to say, the court did not meet my requirements, and the failure of alchemy cannot be blamed on me. If the court could provide the Nine Dragon Cauldron, I would not need to look for an alchemy cauldron myself," Li Shaojun confirmed.

"That's the truth," Gongsun Hong nodded.

"If I can get some benefits at the court, you will definitely get a share!"

Li Shaojun thought it over and felt that he had to learn from Gongsun Hong how to gain a foothold in the imperial court.

He had always been an idle barbarian and lacked experience in this area, while Zhang Xuezhou was also a newbie and had no idea about the ins and outs of the court.

He quickly made a guarantee and mentioned that if he got any advantage, he would share it with Gongsun Hong.

This made Gongsun Hong nod repeatedly.

The original secret spiritual spring disappeared, Gongsun Hong's family was extremely poor, and he was injured, so there were not many places to seek medical treatment.

As long as Li Shaojun and others can give him some of the benefits, Gongsun Hong will obviously be highly united with Li Shaojun and others on this matter.

In addition to offering suggestions, the other party will even provide assistance within their ability to ensure that Li Shaojun and others feel that the price they pay is worth it.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

After descending Mount Tai, Li Shaojun carried Gongsun Hong on his back to look for a carriage, and the two chatted a lot along the way.

Zhang Xuezhou found a direction and left gracefully.

The Taishan area is not far from Rongcheng. This is the distance Zhang Xuezhou can reach by using Tengyun Technique and Demon Wings. Now that it is time to return to reality, Zhang Xuezhou tries his best to find a safe place to rest.

As for when he woke up again, he would start his journey to find a horse and return to Chang'an City.

"Mr. Gongsun, why does Dongfang Shuo seem to have connections everywhere? How did he get involved with the Immortal Court?"

Zhang Xuezhou flew away, and although his whereabouts were relatively secretive, Li Shaojun still managed to spy on him.

He thought about Zhang Xuezhou and couldn't help but ask Gongsun Hong. He wanted to hear what Gongsun Hong had seen and heard along the way, and whether he had discovered something different from his.

"I heard that Jinxia Yuanjun has been stationed in the secret realm for many years and rarely goes out," Li Shaojun said, "and they are a long-lived species. Apart from the people of the same age, they have maintained friendships with all other people. It is very difficult to maintain friendships with them!"

“This makes me curious too!”

Gongsun Hong also nodded.

Except for some traitors, the Han court was almost completely in the dark about the Immortal Court, and had no way to communicate or keep in touch with it.

But even if they were traitors in the imperial court, Gongsun Hong was sure that even if these people received funding and promises from the Immortal Court, their status in the Immortal Court would be very low.

He didn't need to confirm it, he could tell something from the treatment at Jinding.

Short-lived humans have a limited lifespan, so it is almost impossible for them to receive focused training.

When the surplus value is squeezed out, these people will disappear in the fairyland, as if they had never existed.

It is considered good luck to be able to join the immortal sect like Jinding.

As for Zhang Xuezhou's situation, it was a bit strange. Not only Li Shaojun was curious, but Gongsun Hong was also curious and found it difficult to figure out what was going on.

"I have seen Dongfang Shuo before at the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. At that time, he brought his cousin from the Immortal Palace..."

"Rong Tianding?"

"That young man has just started practicing, so it's impossible for him to have any connection with the others. Besides, his family is a butcher, and his ancestors didn't produce any outstanding people!"

Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong discussed in low voices.

Not to mention that it is impossible for a minor cultivator like Rong Tianding to establish connections in the Immortal Court, it is also impossible for Zhang Xuezhou with his cultivation level to do so. Even Gongsun Hong has no chance of attracting the attention of the Immortal Court with his strength.

The more they discussed, the more they couldn't figure out how Zhang Xuezhou was connected to the Immortal Court.

Even if this kind of relationship becomes less and less common, Zhang Xuezhou still has this one-in-a-million relationship.

Just thinking that they were still struggling to row in the sea yesterday, and today they have returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong and others also felt that it was a bit unreal.

"I originally had some opinions about Dongfang Shuo," Li Shaojun complained, "I never gained any benefits from following him, but in the end I still have to thank him!"

"It's just that what we encountered was beyond our ability to deal with. It's a blessing in fate to end up like this," Gongsun Hong sighed.

"That's right. I'm telling you, I really don't have much luck in this life. It's very likely that there's something wrong with my destiny. If you're capable, please help me!"

"Don't you have a great ancestor to protect you?"

"What bad luck! My great ancestor was beaten to death by the immortal holding the Yin-Yang Mirror!"

"Are you really possessed by Taizu?"

"It's the ghost of my great ancestor. It occasionally passed on some Taoist skills to me, but now it's gone!"

"It's difficult to reconcile yin and yang. If your fate is so bad, it's likely that you were influenced by your great ancestor. It's better that he's gone now!"

Gongsun Hong persuaded Li Shaojun with a few words, which made Li Shaojun's expression change slightly.

The aristocratic families rely on their family background, while the poor can only rely on transformation.

Li Shaojun made his fortune by relying on this mutated situation and thus embarked on the path of cultivation.

Now that Gongsun Hong mentioned the cause during the discussion, Li Shaojun couldn't help but feel a little more worried, wondering whether his fate could get better.
