The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 607: Jade Cleansing Pill (Happy New Year's Eve!)
Xu Fu said carefully: "This is also something that my disciples have just developed, so I haven't had time to report it yet."

"Moreover, this medicine is very expensive to make. It requires a lot of spiritual herbs and spiritual objects, and it also requires taking a lot of supplements with it."

"But even so, this elixir does not actually help with longevity. Although the appearance remains unchanged, the body is still getting older, but it is not obvious on the outside. In reality, it is still aging, but it will only be revealed at the last moment."

Zou Shi nodded and said, "That's good. It will appease the king's heart. The king is already patient enough."

"There will be results after all. If you can maintain your youthful appearance, then living longer is not an easy task."

Xu Fu nodded in agreement: "Master, what you said is that if people have fine clothes and delicious food, do not waste too much blood and bones, take more tonic food, and practice hard to strengthen their bodies, they can live a long life. From this, it can be seen that it is definitely possible to make up for the deficit with external things."

"It's just that people will age and die. The innate life that people have since birth has been lost. If you want to make up for this innate life, it cannot be done with ordinary objects, not even ordinary spiritual objects. It must be spiritual objects created by the essence of heaven and earth, immortal objects."

Zou Shi nodded and said, "I will report what you said to the king, and I will also ask the king to pay attention to the spiritual creatures in the world, but you can't pin all your hopes on this. You must not slack off and must work harder."

"You should refine more of this rejuvenation pill as soon as possible and present it to the king immediately."

Zou Shi suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, have you tried this pill? Are there any adverse reactions?"

Xu Fu hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry. It has been tried on humans many times without any adverse reactions. Master Nian Duan has also tested it and there is no problem. This is the good news that should be reported in the next few days."

Zou Shi was relieved: "That's good. These pills are used by nobles. If there is any problem, you'd better think about how to spend your time in the dark prison."

Xu Fu was so frightened that he trembled again and said quickly: "Disciple understands how powerful it is, please rest assured, Master."

Zou Shi's tone also softened a lot, revealing his first smile of the day, and said, "It's good that you understand, and you also have to understand the king's feelings. After so many years, the king is not dissatisfied until today, which is extremely tolerant. You should be grateful and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"You should understand my difficulties. I am already so old, and I still have to face the majesty of the king. Alas, who can understand my feelings?"

Xu Fu was full of gratitude, and said quickly: "Master, you are too kind. I understand that I am not good at learning and my ability is limited, which makes you worried. I will definitely learn from my mistakes and live up to your trust. Please rest assured, Master."

Zou Shi smiled and nodded: "I have confidence in you, there is no need to say more. You are a capable person. When you succeed and accomplish something unprecedented, you will have walked your own path. At that time, you can also establish a school and become a sect of your own."

"Your humble Yin-Yang School will not be your final destination. One day, you will be like the Yin-Yang School that transcended Taoism, surpassing the teacher and creating your own school."

"The Yin-Yang family will need you to take better care of them when the time comes."

Xu Fu hurriedly said, "Master, you are too kind. I have only a small ability, but I learned everything from the Yin-Yang School. How could I have the intention to leave?"

Zou Shi shook his head and said with a warm smile, "It's not that you want to break away from it, but that you have walked your own path. Your alchemy skills are already top-notch in the world, and few can compare with you. If you can refine a longevity drug, it will be an unprecedented feat, enough to create a lineage of alchemy. If I can see this day, my life will not be in vain."

"We are a family after all. Seeing you become successful and establish your own school, I am also pleased. When the time comes, the Yin-Yang family and your Danyao family will work together to gain a firm foothold in the Qin Dynasty."

After all, Xu Fu's experience in Taoism was too shallow, and he was really moved when he heard Zou Shi's sincere and heartfelt words.

Xu Fu said gratefully: "My disciple is where he is today thanks to the cultivation of the master. If the day that the master said really comes true in the future, I will never forget the Yin Yang School."

Zou Shi smiled and nodded: "Of course I am confident in you."

"Alright, that's all for today. I'm leaving now. Remember, hurry up and prepare. It will be presented in the next few days."

Xu Fu nodded repeatedly.

As for the Taoists, Ying Zheng naturally criticized Chisongzi and clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chisongzi also found Mingzhezi first. Mingzhezi was shocked and quickly went with Chisongzi to find his junior brothers Baoluozi and Boyangzi.

Ying Zheng also appointed Baoluozi and Boyangzi as doctors, and the Taoist Tianzong and Renzong worked together to refine elixirs. Ying Zheng also built an elixir palace for them, named Xuanling Danfu.

The treatment of these two people was naturally excellent.

After receiving the message from Chisongzi and Mingzhezi, these two people rushed to Xianyang at full speed without any reservation or hesitation. They were so anxious that they were afraid that they would miss the great opportunity if they arrived too late.

What about leaving the world and practicing meditation? It's all bullshit. The world of pleasure and glamor is attractive. If you can be rich and enjoy the prosperous world, who would want to go deep into the mountains and forests to watch tigers baring their teeth and monkeys' red butts?

At the king's command, we will appear immediately!

The task is difficult, but I am not afraid. What I am afraid of is not having the opportunity!

Learning to make pills is hard. It's too expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it. It's not valued. After all, ordinary people can't afford the medicine. It's not easy for the emperor to be willing to use it. You have to seize the opportunity at all costs!
The two of them had lived very comfortably in Xianyang in the past few years. People like them who had no talent in inner alchemy practice just wanted to enjoy the wealth of the world. Of course, even Chisongzi and Mingzhezi could not let go of worldly fame and fortune. Those who said they could let go must have never seen or enjoyed worldly fame and fortune.

When the two were found by Chisongzi and Mingzhezi, they were shocked and extremely nervous when they heard that Ying Zheng was dissatisfied.

However, the atmosphere on the Taoist side is much better than that on the Yin-Yang School.

With the help of the entire Taoist sect, Bao Luozi and his companions were able to refine many different kinds of elixirs, each with its own unique magic. However, they naturally did not succeed in refining an elixir for longevity, as it was not that easy.

However, they naturally also discovered the problem that Xu Fu had discovered. The two people named Bao Luozi here were not the kind of people who were seeking fame and reputation, but were truly capable.

According to seniority, the four of them are all brothers. After some discussion, they explained the current situation and were all very worried.

Chisongzi has been cultivating his energy for many years and is now a little impatient, but he can still keep his composure.

Now Chisongzi is undoubtedly the number one Taoist in the world, although he is not the number one in cultivation, swordsmanship, or academics.

But his official position is the first in Taoism, and his reputation is the first in Taoism, and that is enough.

Chi Songzi's demeanor was already quite majestic, and he frowned slightly and said, "I also know that it is not easy to refine the elixir that prolongs life and preserves youth, but now, no matter what, at least we must produce some pleasing results to calm the king's heart."

"After so many years and countless efforts, if nothing can satisfy the King, then I will definitely not be able to give an explanation to the King. That is a result that no one wants to see."

Everyone present understood this principle.

Chisongzi continued, "The people I arranged with Xu Fu sent me news that Xu Fu had developed a new anti-aging elixir a few days ago. Before I was summoned by the king, Zou Shi had already been summoned by the king. The king must be dissatisfied with the Yin-Yang School."

"But the Yin-Yang family has this anti-aging elixir, which can satisfy the king temporarily."

"We Taoists must not fall behind Yin-Yang School, otherwise we will not be able to pass this level, and we Taoists cannot afford to lose face."

Bao Luozi is already 45 years old, but with black hair and a youthful complexion, he looks no more than 30. He is also handsome, elegant, and has the appearance of a great man.

However, Bao Luozi couldn't be relaxed at this moment, and frowned: "Xu Fu is indeed a genius in alchemy. He can even develop the anti-aging pill. The young are really formidable."

Boyangzi has a gentle and kind face, a kind and amiable temperament, and is in his early forties. Although not as handsome as Baoluozi, he also has an extraordinary temperament.

Bo Yangzi said slowly: "My senior brother and I have also achieved something. Although we don't have the elixir to prolong life and maintain youth, we do have the Jade Purity Pill."

"This medicine will dissolve in clean water. If you soak and wash with it, it can beautify and moisturize your skin, making it as white as snow and as tender as cream. It can also be smooth, delicate, soft and elastic. If you take it internally, it can nourish the internal organs. Although it cannot prolong life, it can delay the aging of the body."

"Well, this, considering the king's preferences, should be satisfactory, right?"

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Chisongzi coughed twice.

Chi Songzi said: "This shouldn't be a big problem. The king should, should like it."

The other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Chisongzi warned Baoluozi and Boyangzi again: "But my two junior brothers, you must work harder and never slack off. It's easy this time, but it won't be easy the second time. After all, it's not my intention to be so fussy."

"It has taken five years and cost a lot of money. If there is no result that satisfies the king, and the king gets angry, no one can save you."

"Besides, if the Yin-Yang family takes the lead, then our Taoism will lose all face. The Yin-Yang family is just a branch of our Taoism, and they don't respect us. If the Yin-Yang family is given a chance, how will the world view our Taoism?"

"Besides, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to become famous. Everyone hopes to live a long life, but this is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and to go against the will of heaven. Except for the legendary figures, there has never been such a thing since ancient times. Once it is accomplished, it will surely shock the world and go down in history."

"You two junior brothers must think carefully about the gains and losses here."

Baoluozi and Boyangzi nodded in unison: "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, we understand and will do our best."

Chisongzi nodded, and only felt relieved after confirming again and again that the pill was fine and had no adverse reactions.

After getting the elixir, a letter was quickly sent to Taiyi Mountain.

This letter was addressed to Bei Mingzi's fellow apprentice, Xuan Weizi, who was also Chi Songzi's uncle.
