Chapter 40: First Encounter with Xu Fu

Fang Mu rushed back to the palace with Qin Shi Huang and the others all the way safely, and Li Si couldn't wait to greet him when he heard it, and told Qin Shi Huang and Fang Mu and the others a shocking news.

Li Si: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting for your return for a long time, and there is a monk who has preliminarily passed the test and came to alchemy for the emperor, named Xu Fu!"

The divine stick Xu Fu finally appeared, Great Qin had reached the late stage, Qin Shi Huang was getting closer and closer to death, and Fang Mu's heart was getting more and more nervous.

Qin Shi Huang was tired from the journey, and his tired body wanted to have a good rest, and when he heard the news brought by Li Si, he was immediately shocked.

"What! Quickly bring that Xu Fu to my study, I want to see him! "Qin Shi Huang has a hint of fatigue at this moment.

"Obey the order!" Li Si retired and went to call Xu Fu.

Fang Mu didn't leave, he knew that Qin Shi Huang would let him stay, and he also wanted to see the famous Xu Fu of Great Qin.

"Fang Mu, Zhao Gao, Wang Ben, you go with me, let's see this Xu Fu together!" Qin Shi Huang was full of expectations for this sudden appearance of Xu Fu!

"Your Ministers obey!"

……

Ying Zheng's study, Ying Zheng has already asked someone to prepare wine and food, and he can pass Li Si's preliminary test, which shows that this Xu Fu really has some real skills, Qin Shi Huang naturally doesn't want to snub Xu Fu, this is related to his dream of immortality!

Li Si took Xu Fu into Qin Shi Huang's study.

Li Si: "The minister greets the emperor!" ”

"Grass man Xu Fu greets the emperor!" Xu Fu saluted Qin Shi Huang without humility or arrogance.

"Flat!" After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Fu.

Fang Mu and Zhao Gao Wang Ben were very curious, and they all looked at this Xu Fu in front of them.

Xu Fu is a middle-aged man, he does not have the imaginary immortal wind bones, but looks very ordinary, and anyone who sees him will not be associated with the alchemy monks.

Xu Fu knew that Qin Shi Huang Fang Mu and the others were looking at him, so he stood respectfully and waited for everyone to finish reading.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, Xu Fangshi specially brought the elixir he refined! Please take a look at the emperor! Li Si reminded Xu Fu in time.

Seeing everyone's expressions at this time, Li Si's thoughts also returned to the picture when he first saw Xu Fu.

When Li Si heard that someone saw Zhao and wanted to see him, saying that he would do alchemy, Li Si didn't believe it at all.

But Qin Shi Huang urged himself, and Li Si himself was anxious that there would be no one who could do alchemy, and he would have to be angered by Qin Shi Huang.

At this time, where would Li Si care whether he believed it or not, a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, maybe he would really find someone who could do alchemy.

No, when he saw Xu Fu for the first time, Li Si almost drove Xu Fu away directly, this is simply too ordinary, just like the mountain and wild villager, but Li Si couldn't help it and got straight to the point.

"I heard that you know how to do alchemy? Do you know that if you deceive the king, this is the crime of killing the head? Li Si questioned Xu Fu.

"The Prime Minister looks ordinary when he sees it, and thinks that he is just a warlock in the world!" Xu Fu said what Li Si thought in his heart.

Li Si saw that what he wanted was broken by Xu Fudao, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Yes, I am the one who chooses alchemy for the emperor, how can I be a child's play!" ”

"Then the Prime Minister can give me some time in the next day, and I will personally refine the elixir in the next day, please take a look at the Prime Minister!" Xu Fu doesn't talk nonsense.

Xu Fu knew that if he wanted to see Qin Shi Huang, he had to pass through Li Si, and through Li Si he could only let him see himself refining into an elixir.

Lis: "Good! So decide! Before the emperor returned from this trip, you successfully refined the elixir, and I will take you to see the emperor in person! ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister! In the lower alchemy, you need a quiet and closed environment, and you also need items such as a pill furnace and medicinal materials, so please arrange it for the prime minister! Xu Fu made his own request.

In normal times, Li Si would definitely not pay attention to Xu Fu's requests, but now Li Si is putting his hope on Xu Fu.

"You can rest assured that you will refine the pill, I will arrange the rest for you, and no one will disturb you!" Lees said.

"If you don't refine the elixir, don't blame me for asking you when the time comes!" Li Si thought to himself.

After Li Si arranged everything, Xu Fu started alchemy in a quiet and undisturbed room, and Li Si came to the door every once in a while to take a look.

After seven days of waiting, Xu Fu finally opened the door!

Li Si greeted him eagerly, and before he could ask a question, Xu Fu stretched out his hand.

In the palm of Xu Fu's palm, there was a brown spherical pill with a uniform color and texture, full of active pills.

Li Si was shocked to take the pill in Xu Fu's hand, and the pill still had a faint residual temperature.

Li Si made a 180-degree turn from the previous attitude of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor: "Fang Shi is really an alchemist, and he hasn't asked Fang Shi for his name!" ”

Li Si only remembered at this time that he had never asked Xu Fu's name from beginning to end.

"In Xia Xu Fu, I often travel all over the world and accept the baptism between heaven and earth!" Xu Fu said that it was superb.

Li Si: "Xu Fangshi is really a master in the world, it's my clumsiness, hurry up!" Let me be entertained! ”

Li Si treated Xu Fu as a guest at this time, and he didn't dare to slack off, this was his savior, which relieved him Li Si's urgent need, otherwise Yingzheng would definitely be angry with him when he returned from the tour this time.

……

Back in Qin Shi Huang's study, Xu Fu respectfully took out a beautiful small box and opened it.

A spherical brown elixir with uniform color and texture and full of activity appears when you look at it.

Qin Shi Huang looked at this elixir, his expression changed from excitement to calm, and then he couldn't hold back his excitement, this is related to his immortality, and his immortality has hope!

Zhao Gao's face was expressionless, he didn't know what he was thinking, he definitely didn't want Qin Shi Huang to live forever.

Fang Mu was not surprised by this elixir at all, there were so many masters who could refine these alchemy techniques in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but slowly there were fewer people who could refine the pill.

Because alchemy is chemical knowledge in terms of current knowledge, the medicinal materials are put into the Dan furnace in order, refined according to different times, and finally crystallized to form the shape of the pill.

Ancient alchemy was very difficult, and for the science and technology of Fang Mu's era, it couldn't be simpler, but Fang Mu didn't know alchemy, and he specialized in the art industry.

But Fang Mu had to admire this Xu Fu, at that time, he was able to skillfully use this chemical knowledge to refine medicinal materials into pills.

Although the efficiency is too low, and the pill is only the medicinal effect of medicinal materials, it can refresh the mind, calm the mind, relieve headaches and other symptoms, and it is absolutely impossible to live forever.

But Fang Mu didn't dare to break Qin Shi Huang's pursuit and enthusiasm for immortality, otherwise the ghost knows if Qin Shi Huang, who had a suspicious and tyrannical personality, would be angry with him.

"The elixir, it's really the elixir!" Qin Shi Huang excitedly stood up in person and took back the elixir, which shows how obsessed Qin Shi Huang is with immortality.

Fang Muzhen suspected that Qin Shi Huang would swallow it directly, how many emperors died in the end because they wanted to live forever, but fortunately, although Qin Shi Huang was excited, he maintained the reserve and sanity that an emperor should have.
