Chapter 95 Alchemy?

Chen Zhang almost fainted.

Just then, he saw Xiang Yu observing from the side and quickly said, "May I ask—are you the sole disciple of the Yin-Yang School?"

"Ah—that's right."

To be honest, Xiang Yu is finding things a bit difficult right now.

First of all, he doesn't know how to make pills.

Secondly—he's absolutely incompetent at alchemy!

Forget about any miraculous elixirs that could prolong life; he didn't even know how to fire cinnabar and mercury, which had poisoned countless emperors in later generations. If he had to name something he knew, it was probably the formula for gunpowder: one part sulfur, two parts saltpeter, and three parts charcoal—something he learned in junior high school chemistry class.

Although he also wanted to invent gunpowder in the Han Dynasty and use it to blow up the foreigners of the future—it was clear that gunpowder could not bring a pregnant woman back to life.

If gunpowder were sent into Wei Shao'er's stomach, Huo Qubing's birth would truly be an extraordinary event—an explosion.

In order to get Chinese history back on track, Xiangyu decided to refrain from making any more hellish jokes.

But what could I do?

When Chen Zhang saw Xiang Yu pondering, he suddenly remembered what the local earth god had said yesterday. His eyes lit up. Since the gods had asked him to treat the Yin-Yang School well, they must have a way!

He suddenly grabbed Xiang Yu's hand: "Please, please save the children, I really, really—"

Xiang Yu glanced at the middle-aged man who was almost kneeling before him, then looked around at the servants, maids, and stewards. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, their expectant gazes seeming to ignite his entire being. Now, it seemed that the entire Marquis's mansion could truly only rely on him.

But at that moment, the doctor shook his head and said coldly, "You really believe in these alchemists? So-called elixirs are just a bunch of deceptive tricks—if even medicine can't cure a disease, how can elixirs possibly do so?"

Xiang Yu glanced sideways at the doctor. It seemed his guess was correct; this person must be a reincarnator sent from the Main God Space. Judging from her diagnostic methods, she was most likely a doctor in real life, and an experienced one at that.

However, I want to say—

Actually, I don't believe that elixirs can save people either.

The doctor sighed and waved his hand, "I can only barely stop the bleeding, I can't cure your lady. If you really have some extraordinary skills, then please do so. I'd like to see them."

After saying that, she turned and walked to the corner of the room, leaned against the wall, and quietly watched Xiang Yu with her arms crossed. Her eyes were full of anticipation for a good show.

All eyes were once again focused on Xiang Yu.

The world is focused on him.

So Xiang Yu walked up to Wei Shao'er, looked at the unconscious man, and said without hesitation, "Brother Xu, come here for a moment."

"Me? Me?" Xu Yunhan was taken aback and quickly went to Xiang Yu's side. "What's wrong?"

Xiang Yu gestured to Xu Yunhan with his eyes, then made a hand gesture towards Wei Shao'er's head.

Xu Yunhan thought for a moment and then understood. This was to ask her to use a person-immobilizing technique on Wei Shao'er.

But—why use this? Immobilization spells can reveal the target's memories, but what does that have to do with saving someone?

Although she didn't understand Xiang Yu's intentions at all, Xu Yunhan did as she was told. She took a deep breath, gently placed her hand on Wei Shao'er's head, and closed her eyes.

The next instant, her consciousness was pulled into another world.

"call------"

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the palace path paved with bluestone slabs.

Wei Shao'er's figure darted up and down between the palace walls, her movements so light and graceful that she didn't seem like a pregnant woman.

She clutched a small bottle tightly in her hand, the bottle gleaming faintly in the moonlight.

She stopped and opened the small bottle.

The liquid in the bottle was a dazzling gold color, and even more strangely, something seemed to be slowly swimming in that golden liquid, like a living creature.

Without hesitation, Wei Shao'er tilted his head back and gulped down the entire bottle.

A golden light flashed in her eyes, and her entire demeanor changed abruptly. When she took another step, her speed increased several times over, as if she had been reborn, leaving a series of afterimages in the night.

Then, a pained expression appeared on Wei Shao'er's face.

Although her physique had clearly improved, with speed and strength far exceeding what she had before, the baby in her womb seemed unable to withstand the violent effects of the medicine. She could feel the golden energy frantically assaulting the fetus, as if trying to tear the child apart.

Xu Yunhan ended the immobilization technique.

She whispered this to Xiang Yu, who nodded slightly.

At that moment, Xiang Yu heard Jin Chang's voice in his ear.

"This kid's magic is quite interesting."

That old man is still around!

It looks like this guy will be bothering me for a while.

Xiang Yu didn't let Xu Yunhan say anything further, but instead began to speculate based on the limited information available.

He closed his eyes and entered a state of flow.

He asked himself.

"Given my current circumstances, is there any way to temporarily save Wei Shao'er's life?"

"yes--

it is good!

If the answer is no, then Xiangyu will immediately follow up with the "Threefold Critique" from Bian Que: "Cannot be cured, beyond saving, goodbye."

There are four questions left today, meaning I need to find the answer to prolong Wei Shao'er's life among these four yes/no questions.

Those around him were somewhat bewildered when they saw Xiang Yu close his eyes. Wasn't he supposed to be refining pills to save someone? Why was he meditating?

"What's going on—what is the alchemist doing?"

"Could it be that he's really out of options—is he just closing his eyes and stalling for time?"

"Maybe so. I've always thought that the Yin-Yang School is unreliable because of its superstitious practices. I don't know why the young marquis always likes to invite these supernatural people over."

The doctor next to her shook her head. She had always thought that Xiang Yu was a fraud, so she simply started packing her bags and prepared to leave.

She didn't want to see the Marquis's wife die; if the young Marquis got angry and started pestering her, that would be troublesome.

These disturbances naturally caught the attention of Xu Yunhan.

Seeing the suspicious looks directed at Xiang Yu around her, she darted her eyes around frantically, then blinked twice and quickly said, "The alchemist—the alchemist is using his body as a furnace to refine the inner elixir. Everyone, please be quiet."

Inner alchemy?

What is that?

It's no wonder these people haven't heard of these things; Taoism only existed during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the theory of internal alchemy came even later.

The.

Of course, Xu Yunhan didn't know what an inner core was either; she was just making it up in the hopes of silencing the people around her.

Concentrating intently, Xiang Yu naturally didn't notice the commotion around him; he began to ask the void his second question.

"Is the method that extended Wei Shao'er's life related to that bottle of golden liquid?"

"yes--

Phew—there are still three questions.

We must find the final solution to the problem from among these three yes/no questions!
