Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 337 I Really Want to Live Another 9 Years ()

"That's it, that's it..."

After Bai Sheng suddenly realized what was going on, he was more pleasing to the King of Appearances, so he stopped favoring one over the other and pretended to take out another Life-giving Creation Pill from his sleeve, but actually took it out from his portable plane, and wrapped it with his True Essence:
"Take it and eat it in front of me."

Prince Xiang was neither like Li Xian, lying in bed unable to move, nor like Princess Taiping, who came up to massage her waist and back. It was quite convenient for Bai Sheng to stuff the pill into their mouths. At this time, he was at least ten steps away from Bai Sheng, so he could only wrap the pill with his true energy.

Let him come up and get the pill himself and eat it immediately.

"This pill will quickly turn into a mortal object if it leaves me."

Seeing that Li Dan was a little hesitant, Bai Sheng explained it specially. In fact, there was nothing wrong with her explanation. Once the pill left her hands, it would indeed quickly become ineffective.

When Li Dan thought about the relevant information he had heard from his brother Li Xian, he finally stopped hesitating and bowed again to express his gratitude. Then he quickly stepped forward, took the pill from Bai Sheng and threw it directly into his mouth.

Then the Shengsheng Zaohua Pill, which contained intact vitality, melted in his mouth and took effect quickly in his body. After a short while, all his illnesses were gone and he looked ten years younger.

Of course, he himself couldn’t see it for the time being, he just felt that his body had become much more comfortable and stronger.

So far, except for Bai Sheng, among the three people who have eaten the Shengsheng Zaohua Pill, the one who actually gained the least benefit is Li Xian, who was the first to eat it, because half of his vitality had already dissipated when the pill entered his mouth, so his body only barely recovered.

There is no rejuvenation.

Later, when feeding the elixir to Princess Taiping, Bai Sheng had already figured out a way to use his own true energy to wrap the elixir and maintain its vitality, so there was basically no loss of vitality in the elixir when it entered her mouth. Only a little loss of vitality occurred during digestion, but it did not have much impact.

The total loss is less than 10%.

And thus they successfully regained their youth. Alas, this is not actually accurate. To be precise, they did not regain their youth at all, but restored their original appearance.

People who take good care of themselves, are carefree, live an easy life, and have no burdens or pressures, will look much younger than their peers. If their bodies are not suffering from diseases, damage, or hidden injuries, they will look even younger and live longer.

These are the problems that Shengsheng Zaohua Dan can repair.

So rejuvenation, in reality, is just about restoring them to the most perfect state for their current age.

As for the original body's three surviving children, although of noble birth, they are not really carefree, leading an easy and comfortable life without burden or pressure. It would be more appropriate to describe them as worrying and anxious.

So they don't actually look young.

Princess Taiping also relies entirely on makeup to support her appearance.

Therefore, Li Dan, who had taken the elixir that slowed down the dissipation of his vital energy, regained his youth to a better degree than Princess Taiping. The loss of his vital energy from the Shengsheng Zaohua Pill was less than one thousandth.

"You've taken the pills, so come back if you're okay!"

Bai Sheng, who finally figured out the last unknown variable, now just wants to make a plan quickly, thinking about which direction to take as a breakthrough, focusing on publicity, breaking the lifespan limit of this world, and living forever from now on.

Therefore, no one was willing to greet Prince Xiang.

I just want to get rid of him quickly.

In fact, Prince Xiang was also very excited at this time. He wanted to see if there were any changes in himself and let the imperial physician check his pulse. So he was quite cooperative and quickly bowed and took his leave. It can be said that both mother and son were quite satisfied.

……

Half an hour later, Prince Li Dan returned to the Prince's Mansion smoothly. As soon as he entered the mansion, even before he looked in the mirror, he knew that his appearance must have changed greatly, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone in the mansion to gasp in amazement after seeing him.

So he quickly ignored the attitudes and expressions of the crowd and immediately ran straight to the place where the bronze mirror was placed to look in the mirror.

Although the current bronze mirrors are certainly not as clear as glass mirrors, he is a prince after all, and the bronze mirrors he uses are naturally different from those cheap bronze mirrors in the folks, and they are polished very smoothly. Except that the overall mirror surface is a little yellowish, the clarity is still quite good, so he can see at a glance that his face has become much younger.

Then, he looked at the mirror obsessively, constantly and carefully examining his forehead, eyebrows, and eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that had been smoothed out, and his skin that had become more delicate.

It took him a long time to regain his composure.

He returned to the meeting room and called over his staff and sons who had been waiting for him with great curiosity. Needless to say, after they came in and paid their respects, they all looked at Li Dan curiously. Among them, Li Longji was the boldest and went straight forward to touch his father's face.

I noticed that there was no trace of makeup on his face!
The whole person was a little shocked.

"Everyone, please sit down. You read it right. Today, I went to the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty and briefly told him about my grievances. Then His Majesty generously gave me a magic pill. Then, I became what I am now. Taiping is almost the same as me.

The last time I visited Taiping, she was always wearing makeup. Although she looked younger, I didn't feel comfortable staring at her all the time, so I wasn't sure.

This time, I experienced it myself.

It’s finally confirmed!
Prince, oh, that's not right. The reason why the King of England didn't regain youth like the King and Taiping was probably because the rumors in the palace were true. That is, the King of England was already seriously ill and dying, and he was able to survive only because of the magic pill from Your Majesty. Maybe the magic pill's efficacy was used to treat the King of England, so he couldn't regain youth. "

Li Dan actually didn't know much about the Shengsheng Creation Pill, and he didn't even know its name. He had always referred to it as the Divine Pill, but not knowing much about it did not affect his own imagination of the effect of the Divine Pill.

And whether it was him or anyone else present.

Everyone thought what he said made sense.

"The magic pill is actually real, and it can not only cure all diseases, but also prolong life and restore youth!"

"How unfair is the heaven. Why didn't any magic pill appear when Emperor Taizong Wen was alive? When the previous emperor was seriously ill and dying, no magic pill appeared either. But why did the current emperor..."

"I see. Now I understand everything."

"No wonder not only did the King of England resign from the throne, but even Princess Taiping was unwilling to be the Crown Princess. We had considered so many possibilities before, but we didn't expect that the root of the problem was actually the magic pill that we always thought was fake!"

“If Your Majesty can really live forever, or even if he can’t, even if he can only live another 20 or 30 years, there is really no need to appoint a crown prince in the short term.

Unless they can force the emperor to abdicate or a coup d'état is successful.

Otherwise, the prince and princess will just be targets!"

"How could this be? Aren't those lead and mercury elixir techniques all fake? If the Empress Dowager can really live another 20 to 30 years, or even longer. How many people in this world will be left who are loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty!" Unlike the other aides who were suddenly enlightened, Li Longji was a little overwhelmed at this time. He knew very well that the core reason why all officials and aristocratic families were still loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty was that the Wu Zhou Dynasty was established relatively recently, and many ministers were either old ministers during the reign of Emperor Gaozong or Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations during the reign of Emperor Gaozong.

It is inevitable that I have some feelings for Li Tang.

At the same time, he was unwilling to be ruled by a female emperor.

But as time goes by, as this generation gradually grows old and as the court is completely occupied by Jinshi from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the influence of Li Tang will become smaller and smaller.

By then, their future will be completely bleak.

After that, there was a silence, because everyone had to admit that what Li Longji said was right. The longer the current emperor lived, the more difficult it would be for the Li Tang Dynasty to recover. If the current emperor could live to be over 100 years old, or even over 120 years old, there would be no need to deliberately promote it, and the people would naturally make him a myth.

"If there are very few of these magic pills, or if they are really bestowed by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, and there are no more in the future, then it would be better. But if there are a lot of these magic pills, even the current emperor has mastered the secret technique of refining the magic pills.

Then the restoration of Li Tang may be a long way off..."

"The most terrifying situation is that His Majesty not only possesses a lot of these magic pills, but also possesses the secret technique to refine them, or perhaps only His Majesty can refine these magic pills."

"Wait, I thought of the Queen Mother of the West and her Peach Banquet. Even though this magic pill may not be able to make people immortal, its effects of curing all diseases, prolonging life, and even reversing aging are enough to make it as attractive as the peaches in the legend.

You don't even need to have much.

As long as His Majesty can share three or five of them every year, or give them to meritorious officials, it won’t be long before there are not many officials loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty left.”

It has to be said that the more they thought about it, the more desperate they became.

Any one of the three points of curing all diseases, prolonging life and reversing aging is enough to impress any emperor, let alone the officials.

"Queen Mother of the West, the elixir of immortality!

This king seems to be able to imagine the scene in the future when the monarchs of other neighboring countries bring countless gold, silver and jewelry to ask for the magic pill. Well, from now on, this king plans to cultivate his body and mind and stop fighting for anything. "

The comments of his staff and his own son did not give Li Dan the slightest confidence, but only made him more desperate. He was so desperate that he decided to just lie down and do nothing.

Just be a useless prince with no ambition.

At least while his mother was alive, there shouldn't be any danger. Even if his mother died someday in the future, he would be almost dead, or even earlier. No matter what the successor was, he shouldn't be unable to enjoy his old age, or dig up his grave and whip his corpse. As for his children and grandchildren, they would have their own blessings.

Let them be...

When you think about it this way, lying down seems like a good idea.

Not only Li Dan had this idea, but the staff around him, including his sons, were also very decadent and desperate at this time. In their eyes, the former emperor was already a pile of dry bones in the grave, and he would not live for many years at all.

Naturally, you have the courage to make some plans and plots.

But in their eyes, the emperor now is both mysterious and terrifying. No one knows how many cards he has, how many secrets he has, or how long he can live. Some people even spontaneously replace him with the Queen Mother of the West.

And how can humans compete with God?

Then the result was that the Prince of Xiang directly sent all his staff away, or arranged an official position for them. In the past, he wanted to fight for the position of crown prince, or even the position of emperor. At that time, the staff who followed him would naturally be the closest officials, and they would also be able to rise to prominence and be promoted.

But now he neither wants to fight for the throne nor thinks he has any hope of ascending the throne. It is even a question whether he can live longer than his mother. Those staff have been with him for so many years, and he can't let them be nameless and statusless and only be officials in the prince's mansion for the rest of their lives.

Rather than letting time pass and letting them feel resentful.

It would be better to arrange a future for them now.

This way, there is a beginning and an end, and no one owes anything.

The next day, Li Dan appeared in front of the ministers with a look that made him look nearly 20 years younger. Naturally, this caused a lot of surprise. Although Princess Taiping had become a dozen years younger a few days ago, she had always been wearing makeup, and which minister would have the nerve to stare at the princess? So except for those close to her who knew that Princess Taiping looked a dozen years younger, most people just felt that she looked younger, but they were not completely sure.

It was not until Li Dan showed up this time that everyone was sure.

After the court meeting was over, the miraculous elixir that had already been widely rumored naturally became more and more famous, and some people even called it an elixir of immortality.

If the ministers were originally skeptical.

Now basically everyone believes it.

At least those who were qualified to attend court believed it.

……

"Interesting, the idea of ​​the Queen Mother of the West seems to be quite good. Moreover, the Queen Mother of the West is closely related to legends such as longevity, immortality and rejuvenation. At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West is also the empress.

After all, King Mu of Zhou went to pay homage to the Queen Mother of the West.

The most important thing is that the Queen Mother of the West has a very widespread folk belief, especially in the Western Han Dynasty. Even Wang Mang had to rely on the belief in the Queen Mother of the West to stabilize the situation.

It was publicized that the Empress Dowager was the incarnation of the Queen Mother of the West.

Later, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, the court realized the horror of the belief in the Queen Mother of the West, so they fabricated a figure called Dong Wanggong to divide the Queen Mother of the West's power.

The story of the Peach Banquet is also very interesting.

By the way, if you want to break the lifespan limit, you have to make most people accept the concept of longevity and immortality, or even believe that it exists. Only then will it be possible to break the lifespan limit of this world."

During his free time thinking about his plan, Bai Sheng took a look at the surveillance footage of his two sons and one daughter, as well as some court officials. Then he heard the ideas of Prince Xiang and his aides' sons, and couldn't help but be inspired by them, thinking that maybe he could become the Queen Mother of the West.

It is a very good choice.

In this world, who is bound to immortality as deeply as the Queen Mother of the West? From the initial elixir of immortality to the immortality pill, and then to the later purple-veined peaches, her history is definitely long and profound. The Jade Emperor and the God of Longevity cannot be compared to her. King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han were both her dogs.
