Perhaps it was caused by the cloudy days for several days, and on the night of the eighth day of the fifth month, there was a faint coolness in the air, and the water surface of the Taiye Pool was rippled layer by layer.

The West Garden is brightly lit, as if it were a world of its own.

The palace guards dutifully guarded the palace gates, and a team of armored guards returned to patrol the palace roads, and a group of palace maids in court attire gathered towards the altar with plates.

In the northwest corner, in the center of the Ten Thousand Dharma Altars, a Xidan mound house has been built here, with brightly colored curtains hanging on the walls, and offerings and incense burns in the middle of the roof.

A group of Taoist priests danced in front of the Xidan Pier Chamber, and the gongs next to them followed the rhythm of the Taoist priest's pace, and a Jiao Zhai activity was resolutely held here.

As the weather became more and more sultry, Jiajing's body improved, and although he didn't have much energy to deal with it, he had gradually resumed his Jiao fasting activities to seek immortality.

After the link of "inviting God" was completed, Jiajing, who was wearing green leaves, climbed the stairs and directly climbed to the roof of the Xidan pier board, and stood on the highest place here.

In front of the incense table, the green words with ink incense are burned according to the ritual steps, and Jiajing is also proficient in praying for longevity.

His Taoist heart has not changed at all, in addition to the Jiaozhai activities, he also ordered the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Li to personally preside over the construction of the Zichen New Palace, and at the same time decided to build another Yugu Palace, continuing his great cultivation career.

As the night deepened, a semi-circular moon hung high in the sky.

After going through this Taoist link, as Jiajing, who wore green leaves on his head, piously appealed to heaven for the vision of immortality, this Jiao Zhai also entered the final link of sending the gods.

Jiajing's body was sick, and a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, so he did not return to Wanshou Palace immediately, but went to the palace inside to rest.

Huang Jin arranged for the palace maid to serve Jiajing to wash his face and hands, and prepared a bowl of lotus seed soup for Jiajing.

Jiajing was still more generous at some times, especially those who helped him in his cultivation, that is, he rewarded a bowl of delicious lotus seed soup to the important people who participated in the Jiao Zhai activities.

Tonight, the people who stayed in Xiyuan were Xu Jie and Wu Shan, and there were also Liu Wenbin, Wang Jin and Tao Chengen, the first alchemists of the palace, and the five of them held the lotus seed soup in the front hall and ate it.

Xu Jie and Wu Shan knew that it was not advisable to eat in front of the emperor for too long, and this was a gift from the emperor, so they also ate it at a faster pace, and Wu Shan's eating appearance was quite elegant.

Liu Wenbin, Wang Jin and Tao Chengen didn't pay so much attention to it, but they kept waving the porcelain spoon with their hands, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days.

Jiajing's appetite was obviously not good, so he only ate a small half, and then handed the lotus seed soup to Huang Jin, who was standing next to him.

Huang Jin casually handed the bowl to the little eunuch outside, and then pushed it with a smile on his face and said, "Master, great joy!" ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Jiajing has become accustomed to the so-called happy events, and responded very calmly.

"Isn't this going to build Zichen New Palace? The officials of the Ministry of Industry inspected Zichen Palace this afternoon, but they found a secret compartment in the alchemy room of Guo Tianshi in the past, and there was a ...... left by Tao Tianshi on the array altar inside Centennial Dan! ”

The sound was not loud, not only into Jiajing's ears, but also into the ears of the five people below. Liu Wenbin, Wang Jin, and Tao Chengen had smiles on their faces, and Xu Jie and Wu Shan's faces showed stunned expressions.

Jiajing's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately said in surprise: "Is it really Tao Tianshi's hundred-year-old pill?" ”

Since his cultivation, the most powerful alchemist has undoubtedly been Tao Zhongwen, and Tao Zhongwen's most powerful elixir is the Hundred Years Old Pill. Even if ordinary people eat this pill when they are young, they can live to be hundreds of years old.

Huang Jin had a smile on his face, and pointed to His Highness Liu Wenbin and the others: "This matter has been certified by several Taoist masters!" ”

Jiajing's gaze immediately fell on Liu Wenbin and the others, and Liu Wenbin took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Majesty, this pill is the hundred-year-old pill refined by the family teacher, and now after years of spiritual energy nourishment, its effect is stronger than the hundred-year-old pill of the year." ”

"How many grains?" Jiajing asked eagerly.

Liu Wenbin sighed heavily and said: "Back to the emperor, because the days are too long, and this pill is indeed precious, there are only six left!" ”

"The elixir is hard to find, and six grains are not easy! In the past, Tao Tianshi only refined it in one furnace, but there were only two or three pills, so let me take it! Jiajing felt a slight pity in his heart, and then expressed his understanding again.

When Huang Jin heard this, he was about to present the six hundred-year-old pills.

"Your Majesty, don't take this pill!" Wu Shan's face was slightly startled, and he immediately stood up to stop him.

Liu Wenbin was not afraid of this second assistant of the dynasty, and immediately said-for-tat: "Elder Wu Ge, this Dan is a treasure pill left by my family teacher for the emperor, what's wrong with this matter?" ”

"How can it be proved that this pill was left by Tao Tianshi?" Wu Shan always felt that something was wrong, and he also questioned.

Tao Chengen seemed to have been prepared, and immediately stood up and said: "My father's notes mentioned this matter, but it has not been found in my father's room, so this matter has not been mentioned!" As he spoke, he said to Jiajing again: "Your Majesty, this Dan is indeed a hundred-year-old Dan, and the minister is willing to swear by the sky!" ”

"Your Majesty, that copper furnace is my master's thing, and who can refine the 100-year-old pill today?" Liu Wenbin also stood up and looked loyal and authentic.

Wang Jin originally wanted to stand up, but found that he seemed to be redundant, but he stood aside and observed the situation.

Wu Shan faced the disadvantage of being one against two, but he arched his hand with a clear mind: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether the hundred-year-old pill left by Tao Tianshi is in doubt, if it is not tested, the holy bow is very heavy, how can you take it lightly?" ”

The so-called loyal ministers, then they have done something wrong in the emperor, and they have to stand up to stop it.

"Elder Wu Ge, the fact that this pill is refined by my master is iron-like! There are only six such precious elixirs left in this world, if you try two or three more, then how much will the emperor have left? Yan Song's longevity was due to the fact that he was fortunate enough to take a 100-year-old pill with poor ingredients back then! Liu Wenbin seemed to be fighting for authenticity.

For Yan Song's longevity, it is already due to the 100-year-old Dan here. In fact, Yan Song did eat a hundred-year-old pill back then, and Yan Song's longevity is also an indisputable fact.

Wu Shan is a very principled person, and he does not give an inch to what he thinks is right, but he directly knelt on the ground to dissuade him: "The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, how can he get involved in this risk, the minister begs the emperor to try the pill first according to the routine and then decide whether to take it or not!" ”

"Your Majesty, the hundred-year-old pill has seen the light of day again, like a picked spiritual fruit. If you are afraid of losing your essence after testing, please beg the emperor to take it as soon as possible! Liu Wenbin also knelt down and said.

Cough......

At this moment, a slight cough sounded out, and everyone's eyes quickly converged on Xu Jie, who was wearing green leaves.
