Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 168 168: He, Zhu Yuanzhang, could also live to the forty-one year of Hongwu!

Dingjun Mountain, inside the dojo.

Zhu Yue sat cross-legged on the futon.

Opposite him, there was a cauldron burning with blazing fire!

It doesn't require too much work, Zhu Yue just needs to add some medicinal materials into the cauldron at the right time!

Seven days later.

The flame of the cauldron finally went out!

But Zhu Yue had no intention of stepping forward to open the furnace!

Zhu Yue felt bored, so she set up a coffee table, had a few drinks, and sat on the rocking chair leisurely!

Later, in order to pass the time, Zhu Yue got some more dyes and started painting. Speaking of which, he had never left a portrait for his mother!

I just have some free time now, so I just paint to pass the time!

After finishing this, Zhu Yue paced back and forth in the alchemy room again!

Refining alchemy is a long process, and Zhu Yue does not dare to leave even half a step, and has to stare at the alchemy furnace every day!

In this way, I sat in front of the cauldron for three full days. The red cauldron that was originally burning has now cooled down!

Only then did Zhu Yue step forward and slowly open the stove lid!

Although three days have passed, Zhu Yue can still feel a wave of heat hitting his face the moment he opens the stove lid!

Soon, six hot pills appeared on Zhu Li's hand!

"Not bad!"

“I didn’t expect six finished longevity pills to be released!”

"When the time comes, just give the old man a couple of them and go over there for business!"

"This way, we can save a lot of medicinal materials!"

Before, he estimated that there would be about four or five elixirs in one furnace, but unexpectedly he was able to refine six of them directly, which was considered a small improvement!

Anyway, now that I have the support of the old man, it is no longer difficult to collect the medicinal materials. I can just refine them in the future!

Especially after he becomes the emperor, it will definitely be no problem to find one or two thousand-year-old ginseng!

If you really have more, you can reward your most loyal subordinates in the future.

For people like Geng Qing, Zhao Jian, and Qin Wu, it depends on whether they will have this opportunity in the future!

After putting the six longevity pills in porcelain bottles, Zhu Yue left the dojo directly, but he did not go back to Hanzhong Mansion directly, but came to the Emperor Soul Tower again!

Ying Zheng and a group of Emperor Souls are currently surrounding the instrument, watching the two Emperor Souls Li Shimin and Liu Bang playing chess!

"Liu Bang, you stinky chess piece, you really can't do it!"

Li Shimin has conquered three cities in a row and is smiling proudly at this moment.

"You can only find some sense of presence here with me!"

Liu Bang looked a little ugly and snorted angrily.

The evolution of chess was not achieved by a handful of people. It has developed to this day and is actually not much different from the chess of later generations!

The most famous chess in later generations, the so-called Chuhe-Han realm, refers to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. That is to say, after the Han Dynasty, chess has basically been finalized, and there were only slight adjustments in the later period!

The red square represents Liu Bang, and the black square represents Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu!

Every time when he plays chess with Liu Bang, Li Shimin always likes to choose the black side, killing Liu Bang on the red side and abandoning his armor!

There is no way, Liu Bang doesn't know much about this stuff at all, and in terms of military strategy, he is really no match for Li Shimin!

The same goes for playing chess!

However, two people like Ying Zheng or Zhao Kuangyin were able to play back and forth with Li Shimin, so Li Shimin asked Liu Bang to play chess just to have fun!

"It seems that you are all in a good mood, and you actually have the leisure to play chess!"

Zhu Li looked at this group of emperor souls and said hello with a smile.

"No more, no more!"

When Liu Bang saw Zhu Yue appear, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior. He really didn't want to be abused by Li Shimin anymore!

"Brother Zhu, why are you free to visit us today?"

"Is it possible that the old emperor has left?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"The old man hasn't left yet, he's still in Hanzhong Mansion!"

"But there is one thing, please help me analyze it."

Zhu Yue simply told these emperor souls what Zhu Yuanzhang said about passing the throne to him!

After listening to Zhu Yue's story, these emperor souls also called him a good guy!

This old emperor is ready for a direct showdown!

Do you really want to pass the throne to the concubine Lao Jiu?

To say that it was simply because he wanted Zhu Yue to extend Zhu Biao's life would be too childish!

When they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang actually had a thing called National Fortune and Auspicious Fortune and could predict the future, a group of emperor souls were even more shocked!

"If you say that, it can explain why the old emperor wants to pass the throne to you!"

"To be honest, if you are a widower, knowing that you will rebel in the future and will definitely succeed, I would rather pass the throne to you directly!"

"What's more, with your ability, you are not far behind the other princes and grandsons? The Ming Dynasty is bound to be the most powerful in your hands!"

Ying Zheng nodded in deep agreement.

"I also feel that the old emperor is indeed sincere!"

"Now you don't have to think about how to rebel in the future. Being able to successfully take over the throne directly from the old emperor is indeed the best choice!"

Li Shimin also nodded in agreement.

"Then why did you come to us instead of accompanying the old emperor?"

"Even if we don't need to analyze these, you should be able to figure it out yourself!"

Liu Bang asked curiously.

"Isn't this to extend the life of my eldest brother, the Crown Prince?"

"It just so happened that the old man gave me a millennium ginseng, so I came to Dingjun Mountain for retreat and refined a batch of longevity pills!"

Zhu Li explained with a smile.

"Is it the finished longevity pill? Have you refined it again?"

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked quickly.

It is estimated that among these emperor souls, only he is the most obsessed with the so-called immortality elixir. This was the case when he was alive. Even if he has been dead for more than a thousand years, he no longer needs to worry about anything about immortality. , but the interest in this type of elixir seems to be engraved deep in his soul!

"Well, I refined six of them, so I'm pretty lucky!"

Zhu Li nodded and said with a smile.

Hearing this, a group of emperor souls showed envious expressions on their faces!

You must know that they were all emperors during their lifetimes. If they had been able to obtain a heaven-defying elixir like the Life Extension Pill when they were still alive, allowing them to live another ten years, maybe history would have been rewritten!

Especially Ying Zheng, if he is really allowed to live for ten more years, Great Qin may not be dead!

"I really envy you and your eldest brother for having a son and brother like you!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh with regret.

If he had such an awesome son like Zhu Yue back then, he wouldn't care about his direct descendants. Anyway, he didn't establish a queen. The throne would be given to whoever has the ability!

As for that boy Hu Hai... He even wanted Zhu Li to arrest this boy's soul before, and clean up the house with his own hands, so that he could eliminate the hatred in his heart! It's a pity that Zhu Yue told him that there was no way to verify the tomb of Hu Hai, and his soul should have disappeared in the world long ago!

After all, not all emperors’ tombs can be well preserved!

What's more, that kid Hu Hai doesn't even have an imperial mausoleum!

"I also want to meet the old emperor!"

Liu Bang spoke at this time.

Not to mention that among the many emperors, he and Zhu Yuanzhang had similar backgrounds in their rise. The Yuan Empire, which once swept across Eurasia, was beaten into tribes by a beggar. Everyone wants to know such an emperor!

"Just wait, there is always a chance!"

"And after the old man dies, I also plan to send his Emperor Soul to the Emperor Soul Tower. Then you will be able to live together and see each other every day!"

Zhu Yue heard this and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhu, why don't you come and play with me?"

Ying Zheng pointed at the chessboard and invited Zhu Li.

"Okay, it's still early, so I'll play with you!"

Zhu Li agreed with a smile, and then played a few more games of chess with Ying Zheng, five games in a row, killing Ying Zheng to the point of losing his armor, and he couldn't even win a single game!

The other Emperor Souls had to return to the Emperor Soul Tower to continue training due to excessive soul power consumption, but Ying Zheng relied on his strongest soul power and insisted on keeping Zhu Li to continue playing chess!

The main reason is that I couldn't beat Zhu Yue in one hand, which was really a shame!

He somewhat regretted it. If he had known better, he would not have let this kid play chess. Wasn't this asking for trouble for himself?

"It's not going down anymore. The sun is almost setting. I have to rush back to have dinner with the old man and the others!"

Zhu Yue did not give Ying Zheng a chance to make a comeback. In fact, even if he was given a chance, he would definitely not be able to grasp it. He just left a word and left the Emperor Soul Tower directly and went down the mountain!

Soon, Zhu Yue returned to the Han Palace, just in time for dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang, like Zhu Yue on weekdays, was already waiting in the pavilion early!

"It's been ten days, it's time for Lao Jiu to come back, right?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more excited.

The return of Lao Jiu means that the finished product of the longevity elixir has been refined, and Biao'er may be able to live another seven or eight years!

"Xiangrui, how many longevity pills do you think Lao Jiu can refine this time?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the national luck auspiciousness and asked with some curiosity.

Not only is Zhu Biao in need of longevity pills, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally also wants to live a few more years. After getting Zhu Biao's pill, he must at least get one for himself, right?

[This question requires 30 points of national luck! 】

The auspicious national luck is still the old rule.

Zhu Yuanzhang could only pay the national fortune value first.

[With the current ability of King Zhu Yue of Han, coupled with the medicinal materials given by the host and the thousand-year-old ginseng, it should not be a problem to refine six finished longevity pills! 】

Guoyun Xiangrui slowly explained.

"Six?"

"Then it depends on whether Lao Jiu is willing to give it to us!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became excited!

This wave is stable, Biao'er's life-extending pill has been obtained, and Zhu Yuanzhang, his biological father, is not stingy with the life-extending pill, right?

At this moment, Zhu Yue's figure also appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's sight as expected.

But now that everyone in the family was there, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not rush to ask about the longevity pill.

After drinking and eating, Zhu Yuanzhang sent everyone away, and only he and Lao Jiu and his son were left in the pavilion!

"Lao Jiu, how was the alchemy? Did you encounter any problems?"

"Has the longevity pill been successfully refined?"

Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm on the surface and asked slowly.

In fact, he originally thought that Lao Jiu's retreat might take about half a month, but he didn't expect that he would actually be back in ten days!

Being so punctual, Zhu Yuanzhang was really worried that he would encounter problems in alchemy!

"Don't worry, Dad, everything is going well!"

"But it's a pity that there is only one thousand-year-old ginseng, and my son can only refine two life-extending pills!"

Zhu Yue said, and slowly took out the two jade bottles that had been prepared in advance. Naturally, they contained two finished life-extending pills!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then became speechless!

Two farts?

It's obviously six, don't think we don't know anything!

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Lao Jiu to give him all the refined longevity pills. If he could give him two pills, he and Zhu Biao and his son would be enough!

This can be considered his bottom line!

Lao Jiu has taken into account his father's share, so there's no way he can just break up with her!

"Two pills are enough!"

"It's a pity that the effects of this life-extending pill cannot be superimposed. It can only make your eldest brother live seven or eight years longer. But we can still take advantage of it!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he took the jade bottle directly from Zhu Yue's hand.

But after taking the jade bottle in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned!

Because he could feel that these two jade bottles were actually a bit hot to the touch!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly poured out a longevity pill. It was indeed hot, and he almost couldn't hold it, so he put it directly back into the jade bottle!

"It's actually still hot, it's really amazing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be amazed!

At the same time, he was also very excited!

Because with this life extension pill, Zhu Biao's life span can be increased by seven to eight years!

Unfortunately, Zhu Biao had already taken the semi-finished life-extending pill before, and because it was ground and added to other pastries, the effect of the medicine could only last two years!

Moreover, after taking this product once, the effect will be reduced if you take the finished product of Life Extension Pill again!

In other words, after taking the finished product, the effect of the semi-finished product can only make Zhu Biao live an extra seven or eight years!

If he had not taken the half-finished Life-Extension Pill before, then this finished Life-Extension Pill would have given Zhu Biao ten more years to live!

More importantly, in addition to one for Zhu Biao, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, also has one!

This can directly add ten years to Zhu Yuanzhang's life!

Doesn't it mean that if he, Zhu Yuanzhang, had not moved his butt, he would have lived to the forty-one year of Hongwu?

If he could live to the forty-one year of Hongwu, how many sons would he be able to survive?

[The finished product Life Extension Pill has been detected. Should the host consider selling it? 】

At this moment, the auspicious voice of the national destiny rang out!

"You're so paralyzed, get out!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he directly used the quintessence of the Chinese nation on the national fortune and auspiciousness!

The national fortune is auspicious: "..."
