Chapter 4 Accidents

It was precisely because of this rumor that the Emperor of Yan caught priests everywhere and refined the elixir of immortality for him in Danshan. However, the Emperor of Yan was cruel and suspicious by nature. Every time he successfully refined the elixir of immortality, he would ask ten people to test the medicine. As a result, after more than ten years, only the group of people survived a year ago.

All alchemists believed that it was the addition of herbs in this valley that caused the drug testers to die one after another. A year ago, it just happened to balance the medicinal properties, and did not let the drug testers die.

The Emperor of Yan was even more convinced that the herbs in this valley were all immortal herbs. It was only because these alchemists did not try their best to refine them that the elixir of immortality turned into poison, so they continued for more than ten years and did not give up.

Ren Bohai looked at the medicine furnace that emitted a faint fragrance of medicine, and his expression became even more nervous. However, footsteps sounded outside the hall. Gu Shaoxuan walked in with ten medicine boys with the same white complexion, and Yi Chen was among them.

Yi Chen's expression was naturally disguised. He was secretly pursuing the Taixu Dan Ding Art along the way, and the Guixi Pill will be completed soon.

As the fragrance of Chinese medicine in the Refining Hall became stronger, Ren Bohai calmed down instead, and then opened the lid of the medicine cauldron and took out twelve pills the size of a fingertip.

When Ren Bohai handed over the jade plate containing the pills to Gu Shaoxuan, he became nervous again and glanced at Gu Shaoxuan.

Gu Shaoxuan ignored it and waved his hand, two imperial guards came up and distributed the pills to ten medicine boys who tested the medicine.

With Yi Chen's keen eyes now, he accidentally discovered that Gu Shaoxuan had applied the remaining two pills, and didn't know what to do.

Every medicine boy looked ugly when he got the pill. Yi Chen also pretended to be ugly and panicked. Guixi pills had been refined and were pressing under his tongue.

The medicinal power of Guixi Pills is immediate, but the medicine children who died of the drug test have a process, which varies in length.

Yi Chen had long thought of this, and he had to seize the opportunity before he could swallow the turtle breath pills.

The medicinal power that had not been refined into Guixi Pills was resolved by him using the Taixu Dan Cauldron Art. The impact was not great. Although his head was a little dizzy, he would not have pretended to die immediately.

After all the ten medicine children received the pills, Gu Shaoxuan said, "Take them all, this is the elixir of immortality. Maybe you will be immortal in the next moment."

Although Gu Shaoxuan was calm, the ten medicine boys felt depressed and couldn't help but pick up the pills and put them in their mouths.

A sudden sound suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

All ten medicine children stopped moving, including Yi Chen. They were reluctant, but now someone called to stop, so of course they followed the first time.

Five or six people walked in from the entrance of the hall, and the one who opened his mouth stopped the young man in his twenties, wearing golden armor and a black cloak, with a clear face and a very strong and determined look.

Gu Shaoxuan was originally unhappy, but after seeing the young man, he hurried forward to salute: "Your Highness, the prince of War, these medicine boys are testing medicine for His Majesty."

The young man glanced at Gu Shaoxuan and said coldly: "I will explain it to Your Majesty clearly."

"Stop talking, you want to deceive the emperor, but you won't be able to do it." A weak but irritable voice came from behind the screen: "Leader Gu continues to test the medicine!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Shaoxuan gave a bow to the screen before saying to the ten medicine boys: "Continue to test the medicine."

"Father, there is no immortality in the world..."

King Zhan wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by the emperor behind the screen: "Rebellious, it seems that your temperament has not changed during your days in the border. This time I summoned you back. I wanted to hand over my country to you, but I didn't expect that I would not change my destiny. Let's retreat first... Commander Gu continued to test the medicine!"

"My son asked for his retreat!" The King of War looked ugly, gave a bow, and directly took his people out of the hall.

Ten medicine boys thought they were saved, but they didn't expect that they would not work. Under Gu Shaoxuan's cold eyes, they threw the pills into their mouths and swallowed them.

After Yi Chen swallowed the pill, the other nine people showed no sign of death from poison, and the turtle breath pill under his tongue was melting, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

I thought I wouldn't recite this way. Could it be that the elixir of immortality I refined this time be poisoned to death?

If he fell down alone, he would definitely be carefully examined by the imperial physician, and maybe he would be exposed.

In previous years, there were many people, and all the poisons were killed. The imperial doctor was afraid of being infected with severe poison, so the examination was generally carried out.

This situation now is very unfavorable to Yi Chen.

After a quarter of an hour, no one fell down. Yi Chen's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and there was still a little left of the Guixi Pill under his tongue. Even if he was secretly pursuing the Taixu Dan Cauldron Art to resolve the medicine, it was useless.

A quarter of an hour had arrived, Gu Shaoxuan gave a bow to the screen and said happily: "Your Majesty, the medicine is finished, ten medicine boys are safe..."

Before Gu Shaoxuan finished speaking, Yi Chen fell to the ground with a thump, looking like he had no breath.

"Commander Gu, what's going on?" The emperor behind the screen suddenly became cold.

Gu Shaoxuan's expression changed drastically. He glanced at Ren Bohai and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, there should be no problem with the elixir of immortality this time. The child who fell down should be because of his special physique."

"Prefer the pills, take the other nine medicine children well, and take the dead medicine children out of the valley soon." The emperor's voice calmed down.

Gu Shaoxuan waved his hand and the two imperial guards had already carried Yi Chen out of the hall, while he himself walked around the screen and came to the emperor.

The emperor was sitting on a chair covered with precious fur. He was fifty years old, with a pale complexion and looked seriously ill.

Beside him was an old eunuch, a white-haired imperial physician, and a bearded man wearing shiny black armor. This man was the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Gu Shaoxuan respectfully handed the jade plate to the white-haired imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor took the jade plate and carefully checked it. After half a quarter of an hour, he spoke: "Your Majesty, there is only one kind of herb added to the pill."

"Commander Gu, what's going on?" the emperor asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of careful improvement of the elixir of Ren Bohai. It only takes a herb in this valley to refine the elixir of eternity. This time it is absolutely effective, and I will be willing to issue a military order."

Gu Shaoxuan made a military order without hesitation, and the emperor nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take one of this elixir of immortality, my dear, too."

When Gu Shaoxuan heard this, his face remained unchanged, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Then he grabbed a pill without hesitation and threw it into his mouth to swallow it.

"Yes, present the elixir of immortality." The emperor showed a satisfied expression, took the pill from the imperial doctor, and took it.

"Go up." The emperor did not stop anymore and left the Medicine Hall in a dragon chariot.
