The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 436 Xu Fu, Alchemy (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month~)

The next day, Ying Zheng summoned Zou Shi, a Yin-Yang master, and asked him to bring Yunzhongjun Xu Fu to the court.

Zou Shi was extremely surprised that Ying Zheng summoned Xu Fu. Xu Fu was just the newly promoted Lord of Yunzhong, who had risen to the position through alchemy, and was not well-known. Apart from his alchemy skill, he had no other martial arts skills or literary talent. So why did they summon him?

It seems to be for his alchemy skills, so what kind of elixir is he going to make?

Xu Fu was even more puzzled. He was a nobody and could barely be considered a top figure within the Yin-Yang family. Apart from that, Xu Fu knew his own importance.

It was quite strange that the powerful King of Qin specifically asked to see me.

But no matter what, there was no possibility of him refusing.

And maybe it’s an opportunity!

When Xu Fu entered the Xianyang Palace, he was extremely nervous and scared. This was his first time entering the Xianyang Palace and he could only look at it from afar before.

Now that he had just arrived at the Xianyang Palace, the majestic and solemn atmosphere frightened him so much that he even breathed more slowly unconsciously.

When he saw Ying Zheng, he immediately followed Zou Shi and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

"Flat body."

After giving the two men a seat, Xu Fu still kept his head down and dared not look directly at them.

Ying Zheng took a look at Xu Fu, who was still a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Although he had an average appearance and a cunning look in his eyes, he was not ugly and had quite a spirited demeanor.

Nowadays, he dresses neatly and simply, and behaves respectfully and carefully.

Ying Zheng slowly asked, "Zou Qing, the person next to you is Xu Fu, the Lord of the Clouds of the Yin-Yang family?"

Zou Shi replied, "That's right, my king."

Ying Zheng smiled and praised: "I didn't expect that there is such a talented young man, he must be very talented."

Zou Shi replied: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am just a humble disciple and I do not deserve such praise from Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Zou Qing, there is no need to be too modest. I have long heard that the Yin-Yang School is also very good at alchemy. Xu Qing is so young, so naturally he must be quite accomplished in alchemy as the Lord of the Yin-Yang School."

Zou Shi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Dao of Alchemy is extensive and profound. I, as an inner disciple, only have a superficial knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy and dare not talk about its depth."

When Zou Shi said this, Xu Fu, who was lowering his head, frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Xu Fu has been fascinated by the art of alchemy since he was young, and he has made some achievements in alchemy, otherwise he would not have been able to become the elder of the Jin Department of the Yin-Yang School with his two skills.

The art of alchemy is also what he is most proud of. To deny his alchemy skills is to deny him as a person.

Although Zou Shi loved him and spoke modestly, Xu Fu was still somewhat unhappy.

Ying Zheng saw all of this clearly.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Zou Qing is too modest. I believe in the ability of the Yin-Yang School, and I also believe in Zou Qing and Xu Qing."

"I summoned you two here today because I have something I want to entrust to Mr. Xu to do."

"I often feel sad about the insignificance of human beings in the universe, the uncertainty of life and death, and the people close to me are bound to encounter unexpected events."

"Heaven created all things to nourish people, and the art of making elixirs is the way to refine all things, nourish people, and save people."

"I would like to ask the Yin-Yang family to refine a pill that can strengthen the body, prolong life and preserve youth. Is there any difficulty?"

"Xu Qing, are you confident?"

While Zou Shi was still thinking, Xu Fu had already jumped out. He was overjoyed at this moment, as all he had learned in his life could finally be put to use!
The art of making elixirs is not something that ordinary people can afford. It requires a lot of financial and material resources, which even the Yin-Yang family could not afford before. They had to use the resources sparingly every time they refined a elixir.

This led to Xu Fu not being taken seriously in the Yin-Yang School. It was not because he was not good at refining elixirs, nor was it that people did not recognize the benefits of elixirs.

I simply can't afford it.

In this regard, although Xu Fu became Yun Zhongjun of the Yin-Yang School, he was always pessimistic about his future.

The art of making elixirs can only be sold to royal families, because other families simply cannot afford it.

If there is no chance to sell it to the king, then this life will definitely have a bleak future.

Now that the King of Qin values ​​me, this is a great opportunity sent from heaven!

What is the future? Let’s take a chance.

Besides, if we had the help of Daqin, everything would be different. To Daqin, no matter how much loss we suffered, it would only be a minor matter.

With the help of Daqin, I don't have to worry about my alchemy skills not making rapid progress.

Whether for his own future or to be able to devote himself wholeheartedly to his love for the art of alchemy, he must seize this opportunity now.

Xu Fuqiang tried to suppress the joy in his heart, but not too much, it was still clearly visible on his face.

He stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although my talent is low, I have made some achievements in the art of making elixirs. If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to give it a try."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "As the saying goes, anyone who is confident will be capable of something. Xu Qingneng is already a master of the Yin-Yang School at this age. I recognize your ability."

"In that case, you can be a doctor for the time being. I will issue an order to the Shaofu to cooperate with you. If you need anything or are short of anything, you can always go to the Shaofu."

"I have only one request, that you refine an elixir that can strengthen the body, prolong life and maintain youth as soon as possible, so that ordinary people can use it and there must be no side effects."

Zou Shi was shocked. It seemed that the king attached great importance to this matter.

Xu Fu was so overjoyed that he could hardly control himself. He bowed down and shouted, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your trust! I will do my best and will never let you down!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Xu Qing, please get up quickly. There is no need to rush this matter. Safeguarding is the most important thing."

"In addition, I will also send the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to assist Mr. Xu."

"Xu Qing, you must do your best. I believe in you."

Xu Fu bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have been obsessed with the art of elixirs since I was young. I know that elixirs are used by people and need to be used with extreme caution. I have never been careless when it comes to elixirs!"

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, and I will also ask Master Nian Duan to help. Medicine and pharmacy have been inseparable since ancient times, and refining elixirs cannot be separated from doctors."

Xu Fu concentrated his mind and replied, "Your Majesty is right. Master Nian Duan is the best doctor in the world. With Master Nian Duan's help, this matter will surely be accomplished."

"It is my great honor to have Master Nian Duan teach me the art of making elixirs!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Xu Qing."

He turned to look at Zou Shi and said with a smile: "Zou Qing, please give up your beloved disciple."

Zou Shi smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, your words are very important. It is all for the sake of Great Qin. We are loyal to Your Majesty, so why would we give up our love? The Yin-Yang family is fortunate to have Your Majesty's trust and respect, and it is a blessing for us disciples."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It is my good fortune to have the help of the two nobles. In this case, the two nobles should go back and prepare first."

After Zou Shi and Xu Fu retreated, Xu Fu was still extremely excited.
