Chapter 181 Elixir of Longevity
Before the eunuch came to take the wooden box, Chu He opened the wooden box first.
Inside the wooden box, there was a slightly crimson jade, and there was a sticky liquid flowing in the jade.
A rich stream of life essence emanated from the wooden box, and the court officials in the hall all smelled the fragrance emitted by the essence of life. They immediately felt comfortable all over and became energetic in an instant.
Han Qi held his breath, wrapped a stream of life essence around his fingertips, and gently crushed it with his fingers, feeling the essence of this breath.
"Huh..." He didn't expect that this was really pure, beneficial to the human body's life essence. Instead of most alchemists, the tiger and wolf medicine used to fool people, seemed to make people energetic, but in fact it was consuming the potential of the human body.
There are also many people in the hall who have the same behavior as Han Qi.
After a simple identification, the eyes of Baoyu in the Chuhe wooden box became hot.
A white-haired eunuch nodded without a trace beside Ji Yi, and a hint of joy appeared on Ji Yi's old face.
He is old and is gradually approaching the end of the oil.
Although I have been living thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I have enjoyed it for a few days. The fear and unwillingness in my heart eat my soul day and night, and I can't sleep every night. However, practice is a very personal matter. In the mainstream practice system in later generations, it is impossible to use it after building the foundation. Even if I take elixirs or practice some replenishment techniques, it is actually a kind of understanding of my own practice.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, although the practice system was chaotic, it was generally the case.
When Ji Yi was young, he fought for power and neglected his practice. When he got older, even if a master taught him the wonders of practice day and night, his progress would be slow, and prolong his life was almost rare, and immortality was even more expensive.
Now all he can ask is the medicine for immortality refined by the alchemists.
There is no threshold, and it will take effect.
"This thing is called Red Yanxia, a medicine for immortality. I am afraid that when the moon is full, I will not be shocked by the cold water." Chu He said holding the wooden box.
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials who had originally had some speculations were all greedy in their eyes and breathing rapidly. They wanted to rush forward, snatch the wooden box from Chu He's hand and leave.
"Chinyanxia" is the closest type of medicine that alchemists have studied for many years and is closest to the immortality medicine.
After using this medicine, the body will be filled with the essence of life and remain in its peak state. Only on the full moon night, cold water cannot be touched by the body. Otherwise, the cold air will pierce the eternal smoke and clouds in the body. Those who stay in the smoke and clouds will instantly turn into dry bones.
This medicine is naturally a long way from the immortal medicine pursued by alchemists. Even so, it is still worth chasing by countless nobles of princes.
After all, compared to the unknown death, it is still tolerant that you cannot encounter the defect of cold water on a full moon night.
Then again, is the thing that Chu He holds in his hand really the legendary alchemy "Chin Yanxia"?
Of course not!
This was just a mixture of four fish bones that he had been ‘saved’ by Sister Mi Mi, and the flaming sunflowers exchanged in the King of Zhou’s magic car.
It looks similar to "Chinyanxia", but it is definitely different in essence.
Although this object is full of life essence, it is not hindered from rough contact. Instead, it will feel comfortable all over the body and prolong life.
But if all of them are used, the innate resentment that cannot be removed will settle into the depths of the soul, making a person become more and more extreme and violent, and eventually die of madness.
But compared to the tiger and wolf medicine that quickly overdraws the human body, Chu He faked "Chin Yanxia" is really helping people repair their physical deficits and keeps them at their peak at all times. Therefore, in a short period of time, the abnormality of this object is not noticed at all.
As for the obvious defects of Chi Yanxia... I think Ji Yi has proved that this thing is really effective, after using it, he will never go to find a basin of cold water on the full moon night to seek death.
"Hurry! Come on to me!" Ji Yi's voice was filled with desire and rush.
The previous arrogance, calmness and the deliberate suppression and humiliation of Chu He are now disappearing in front of the fantasy of immortality.
History has proved that many emperors who have been famous throughout the ages and whose wisdom and means are extraordinary, are like wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of immortality, and are fooled like fools.
The wooden box in Chu He's hand was quickly taken over by the eunuch and sent to Ji Yi.
Ji Yi ignored the reminder of the white-haired eunuch beside him, looked at the "Chin Yanxia" Baoyu in the wooden box with obsessive eyes, and reached in and held it.
call···!
An invisible whirlwind seemed to blew up from the hall.
Ji Yi, who was tall and above, suddenly regained a lot of rosy face, the wrinkles on his face faded, and his eyes became clear and sharp.
Just holding the "Chinyanxia" jade with your hands has such a effect, and it seems that this thing is not fake.
"Hahaha! OK! Mr. Chu! I want to reward you very much. If you ask for something, I will agree." Ji Yi's voice became much louder, as if he was really moving towards his prime, against time.
Chu He bowed and took out the edict of King Zhou and said, "After the edict of King Zhou, I was appointed as the new king of Chu. I also asked the Duke to lend me 30,000 elite troops of Jin, return to Chu and regain the throne."
When Ji Yi heard this, he was stunned and reluctantly put down the "Chin Yanxia" Baoyu in his hand.
Even though he let go of Baoyu, his face was still rosy and his healthy posture did not fade.
The many court officials standing in the hall had a more firm look on their eyes, and there was also a lot of exploration and greed in their expressions when they looked at Chu He.
"This matter... Rong Ren discussed with all the court officials first." For the sake of the Elixir of Eternal Life, Ji Yi did not refuse at all, but his perfunctory attitude was still there.
Things like receiving gifts and not doing things are the case, as long as you are thick-skinned, it has been around since ancient times.
Chu He shook a roll of silk from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, saying, "I have a good prescription for curing diseases, I hope you can read it."
For the sake of the Elixir of Eternal Life, Ji Yi asked the eunuch to take over Chu He's silk.
Chu He said that he was sick, but he didn't believe it. Even if he was really sick, what would you be afraid of now that he had the "elixir of immortality"?
But after Ji Yi opened the silk and read it a little, his expression changed a few times. Finally, after reading all the text on the silk, he handed it directly to the white-haired eunuch beside him.
The white-haired eunuch shook his fingers hard, and the silk completely turned into dust and fell down. No one could restore it. He knew what was originally written on it.
"I must think carefully about what my grandson asks, and I will give you a reply in three days." This time Ji Yi's answer was much more serious.
Chu He bowed and said no more.
First, he gave gifts, and then pointed out the benefits of borrowing troops to him, which was for the Jin Dynasty's Duke. The last number of 30,000 elite soldiers was also considered repeatedly.
It just happened to be stuck at the limit value that he could control, Ji Yi could allow, and the Liuqing family could tolerate. Even if there was a thousand more, the variable would rise in geometric multiples.
