Da Qin: Me! the Unparalleled Prince, Guarding the Great Wall for 18 Years

Whenever the First Emperor felt unwell, he would send him to find the golden elixir.

This time is no exception.

Not long after, the eunuch took a brocade box and handed it to the first emperor respectfully.

"Your Majesty, your golden pill is here."

"Hmm~"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and waved his hand casually, "Let it go."

The official bowed and retire.

Looking at the beautifully packaged brocade box at hand, Ying Zheng's heart suddenly became hot.

Open the box.

One of the dark-golden pills the size of a bull's eye lay there quietly.

There was a faint flash of light above.

It looks amazing!

It's no wonder that this kind of appearance caught the eyes of the First Emperor.

This is the elixir of immortality that those alchemists worked so hard to refine for him.

Of course, immortality must be fake.

But there are some effects.

Whenever Ying Zheng felt unwell, he took such a pill.

There will be an inexplicable rush of heat all over the body.

The pain that came from all over the body was also relieved a lot.

He thought it was a powerful performance.

For these things of the Shinto, even the always wise First Emperor would inevitably be confused.

In fact, alchemy originated very early in China.

It was recorded in ancient books.

It is said that there were alchemists who offered "the medicine of immortality" to the king,

At that time, the theory of immortals arose, which closely linked alchemy and Taoism.

Ying Zheng also heard about this, and began to obsessively pursue the elixir of immortality.

Of course, it's not just Ying Zheng.

Maybe he made a bad start, and later Hanwu did even more outrageous.

Not only did they seek immortality and medicine on a larger scale, but they also set up an elixir stove in the palace and personally went into battle to concoct elixir.

Gradually, alchemy became popular among the ruling classes.

And enduring.

Among the raw materials for alchemy, mercury is definitely the favorite raw material for warlocks.

none of them!

Mercury certainly seemed to them a miraculous substance.

Mercury has the luster of hardware.

"It's like water and silver."

"If you see fire, you fly, but you don't see dust."

So they think that mercury is "spirit and the most divine"

Such a divine thing, of course, must be added to the mysterious elixir.

It is no wonder that Ying Zheng, the Ying Ming I, believed the words of these warlocks so much.

Sometimes these miraculous manifestations are difficult to explain in this day and age.

In Ying Zheng's view, this is a miracle.

However, in reality.

The addition of heavy metals such as mercury directly lays the foundation for the toxins contained in the medicinal herbs.

And it's poisonous!

Not only that, but arsenic was also added to the medicine pill.

This... is even more poisonous!

The explanation of the warlock said that it can strengthen the body.

The effect is also very obvious after taking it, and it is indeed mixed with heat.

These are all considered by Ying Zheng as a manifestation of the strong medicinal power
