Zongwu: I, the strongest alchemist, the auction of the heavens

Chapter 101: Poisonous Elixir

[Fusu]: Mr. Chu, I wonder how we can quickly verify that this elixir is poisonous?

After Ying Zheng asked that question.

Fusu suddenly remembered that he seemed to be too anxious.

Haven't asked about what happened next.

Fortunately, the chat group was in his mind.

It’s not too late to ask now.

The only hope is that Mr. Chu is still here.

……

At this time, the group members who were waiting to watch the show saw the news about Fusu.

They also popped up one after another to inquire about the situation.

[Lin Pingzhi]: Prince Fusu, what is the situation now? Doesn’t the Emperor of Qin believe you?

[Li Chengqian]: I heard that the Qin Emperor was obsessed with the elixir of immortality. Looking at Fusu's current situation, he probably doesn't believe it.

[Zhu Wushi]: After all, it is the elixir of immortality. If I hadn't met Mr. Chu, I would probably have been optimistic.

【Fusu】: Father really doesn’t believe it…

[Fusu]: What's more, after taking this pill, father seems to be in better spirits than before.

[Fusu]: Sigh... I wonder if Mr. Chu has a quick way to verify it...

[Lin Pingzhi]: Well, when it comes down to it, immortality is what those of you in high positions pursue. If we were to encounter such a thing, my first reaction would probably be, is the other party a liar?
[Zhu Wusi]: So you don’t want to live forever?

[Lin Pingzhi]: That's not it! If Senior Chu can really refine more elixirs of immortality one day, I would still like to try my best.

[Wan Wan]: I thought you really didn’t want it, Xiao Linzi~
Everyone heard that Emperor Qin Ying Zheng did not believe what Fusu said.

I didn't feel much surprise.

After all, he is the emperor.

Once something has been confirmed, there is no evidence.

It is indeed difficult to change his inner thoughts.

So everyone joked while waiting for Chu Beixuan's reply.

But they didn't have to wait long.

Chu Beixuan’s message popped up in the group.

[Chu Beixuan]: The verification method is very simple. There are animals such as chickens, ducks and geese raised in the palace.

[Chu Beixuan]: Select a few animals of different sizes and feed them the elixir separately.

[Chu Beixuan]: This way, we not only have a reference, but also different data to support it. Even if those alchemists want to quibble, they will be speechless.

【Fusu】: Thank you for your advice, sir.

……

Fusu got the news.

He reported it to Ying Zheng immediately.

at this time.

The atmosphere in the entire Xianyang Palace has dropped to freezing point.

Fusu methodically repeated what Chu Beixuan had said.

Only then did he realize that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu for a long time with a puzzled expression before speaking indifferently.

"Zhao Gao, summon the alchemist to see you."

The current Ying Zheng.

Still didn't believe what Fusu said.

But Fusu had already said this, and Ying Zheng didn't mind letting his eldest son see the result with his own eyes.

After all, when it comes down to it.

Fusu will bring up this matter.

It's just because I'm worried about his health.

So Ying Zheng didn't believe it.

But he could get someone to conduct the test as Fusu said.

Just a moment.

Zhao Gao had already led several alchemists into the hall.

Those alchemists all had white hair and beards.

They were dressed in Taoist robes, and had the temperament of otherworldly sages who were indifferent to worldly matters.

When they saw Ying Zheng, they did not bow.

He just shook his whisk and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"I don't know why your majesty called us here."

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and said.

"I summoned you here today for one thing."

His tone was calm, but it carried an endless pressure. "Do you know that the pills you made are poisonous?"

When the word "poisonous" came out, several alchemists were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, and then someone spoke.

"Your Majesty, Rong Bing, what we are refining is the elixir of immortality."

"How can an elixir be poisonous?"

He spoke with certainty, but cold sweat broke out on his palms.

"I think it must be that Prince Fusu was instigated by the villain, so he slandered us like this!"

These alchemists who have managed to get here are certainly not stupid people.

Thinking that Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to convey the message to them.

Rather than being escorted by the Qin army.

They concluded that Fusu had no evidence in his hands.

In this case, they certainly cannot admit this.

Not only can't admit it.

It would be best if the blame could be put on Fusu.

Fusu didn't know what they were planning.

But he didn't have a good face towards these people.

He bowed directly to Ying Zheng: "Father."

Ying Zheng responded with a hum: "I think so too."

"It's just that Fusu was originally worried about my health, so I made the decision and asked him to follow the test method I found."

"We will know the true properties of the elixir after we try it."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, several alchemists became a little agitated.

One of them gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy to refine the elixir..."

When Fusu heard this, he turned his head and saw it.

"Our Great Qin is vast and rich in resources. The cost of a furnace of elixirs is nothing."

"If it is proven that the elixir is non-toxic, how about I pay double the amount of materials for this furnace of elixir?"

After hearing this, the man wanted to argue: "But..."

Fusu said calmly, "Or do you know that these are poison pills, so you don't dare to let me test them."

Ying Zheng also spoke up at this time: "You are making excuses like this. Could it be that you are really plotting to murder me with the poison pill as Fusu said?"

After hearing this, the alchemists dared not refuse anymore.

They could only hold their noses and let Fusu take away the pills they brought for testing.

……

Fusu is like Chu Beixuan.

He asked people to select several animals of different sizes from the palace.

After having the palace servants feed them the elixir, they were locked up in different cages.

at first.

There was nothing unusual.

Those alchemists who were originally so nervous that they were sweating couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.

They looked at each other, and could see the feeling of surviving a disaster in each other's eyes.

Fusu, on the other hand, seems to be quite stable.

In fact, I was extremely nervous.

I was afraid that the method Chu Beixuan gave would be useless.

As for Ying Zheng.

He still sits firmly on the throne.

Ying Zheng had great confidence in the elixir, and he spoke before only because of his imperial skills.

Although I have no doubt.

But you have to knock.

Just quickly.

There has been progress in testing drugs on animals.

First, a rabbit that was originally quiet suddenly went crazy in the cage.

Not only did it run around in the cage, it even tried to bite off the wooden boards on the cage. It did not stop until its teeth were broken and the cage was covered in blood.

Then another dog suddenly went crazy in the cage.

It kept hitting the cage with its head, and even though it was bleeding profusely, it showed no intention of stopping.

then……

Ying Zheng's expression became increasingly ugly after these animals showed abnormal behavior.

Especially after the initially crazy rabbit and dog foamed at the mouth and fell into the cage, all his aura suddenly burst out.

His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was slightly deep: "This is what you call the elixir!"
