Chapter 21 mentions elixirs again
Zhao Guo got Shen Chengping's help, even if Shen Chengping only spent an hour every day teaching his disciples, answering questions, and the rest of the time was in his own cultivation, but the books he left behind benefited all the disciples of the Quanzhen Academy, in this era, most of the people who could be elected to the palace were the royal family of Zhao and the children of nobles, once some of these people finished studying, they would join Zhao to serve Zhao Guo, and gradually formed a huge impetus in Zhao State.
In the next 20 years of Zhao Suhou's reign, the disciples of the Quanzhen Academy played an increasingly important role, and Zhao Suhou also stabilized the basic plate of Zhao within ten years through the southern and northern wars, and at the same time took advantage of the defeat of Wei Yumaling by Tian Ji and Tian Ying of Qi State, covering his army of 100,000 and killing Prince Shen; The state of Wei flourished and declined, united with Korea, subdued the state of Wei, became the boss of the three Jin Dynasty, and annexed the troubled Zhongshan state, and its merits far exceeded modern history.
After the death of Zhao Suhou, his son Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, opened the law change twenty years earlier than history, and this change was more thorough than the Hufu cavalry shooting in history, and also made the national strength of Zhao State improve rapidly, and then went north to seize Lin Hu and Lou Fu thousands of miles of land, and established Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties, and the military strength has also been greatly enhanced, and the population of the country has more than doubled, and finally it hit the Qin State hard, swallowed a large area of land in Yan State and Qi State, and united Wei and Han, destroyed the 450,000 allied forces of Qin and Chu, and became the overlord of the late Warring States period in one fell swoop.
After Zhao Yong, his son Zhao Zheng successively destroyed the Yan State and the Qi State, and then at the time of the confrontation in Changping, he bypassed the Hangu Pass from the north and attacked Xianyang, and defeated the Qin State to the position of the hegemon, but unfortunately he died of illness three years later, and the eldest son Zhao Li succeeded to the throne, broke the alliance of various countries, and annexed Han and Wei after destroying the Qin State, and finally went south to the Chu State, and after 25 years of succession, he united the countries and founded the Zhao State.
Shen Chengping saw all these changes, he had been cultivating wholeheartedly over the years, and he had not participated much in the national politics of Zhao State, just because of the influence of the Quanzhen School Palace, his status was increasing day by day, seventy percent of the officials of Zhao State were from the Quanzhen School Palace, and even several generations of monarchs had studied in the School Palace and received Shen Chengping's guidance, so although he did not participate in the court politics, his status was extraordinary.
It's just that compared to Shen Chengping's prestige in Zhao State, he has become more and more simple over the years, how Zhao State is just a casual thing for him, his focus is on cultivation, so very few people come to disturb him except for the morning lecture time, but today is an exception, and this person who came to visit Shen Chengping is Zhao Li, who has just ascended the throne as the first emperor in this world and became Zhao Shihuang.
"I've seen sir!" In the face of Shen Chengping, Zhao Li still did not pose as a monarch, and after a simple greeting, Zhao Li also said his purpose, a term that surprised Shen Chengping - "elixir"!
Seeing Shen Chengping's surprised look at what he said, Zhao Li was already sure that his guess was not wrong, and at this time, Shen Chengping had an elixir in his hand.
After the destruction of the Chu State, Zhao Li ordered the confiscation of various records of the Chu King's Palace, and his subordinates were also in the secret book that only the King of Chu could read, he found the records of the original Chu Ling King and Xiong Ju, and also found the clues of the elixir, because Shen Chengping did not change his name at all, and also made Zhao Li guess that Shen Chengping had appeared in Zhanghuatai at the beginning, and he had the news of the elixir.
"How did Your Majesty know about the existence of the elixir?" After being silent for a long time, Shen Chengping asked.
Hearing Shen Chengping say this, Zhao Li's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is the result of the widow's sorting out the books of the Chu State, when the King of Chu Ling used the national fortune to refine the elixir, but he encountered Xiong Ju's rebellion, and the elixir fell into the hands of a priest called Xu Fu, but Xu Fu has not been known since then, but it is the gentleman who sacrificed Zhang Huatai with Xu Fu to shine in the countries, plus the record codex of the ruler between the eyebrows, the widow guessed that the elixir in Xu Fu's hands fell into the hands of Mr. ”
"Your Majesty is really as careful as a hair, this elixir is indeed in my hands, but the elixir has a strong evil qi inside, if you take it directly, you will not see its benefits, you will suffer from it first, and even if you use my cultivation under the erosion of evil qi, it will not last a day." Shen Chengping warned.
"Hahahaha......" Hearing Shen Chengping say this, Zhao Li immediately laughed and said: "Sir, don't try to trick me, the evil qi of this elixir is indeed difficult, but at the beginning, King Chu Ling had Xu Fu's help, and he could erase the evil qi in it with national luck, Mr. is proficient in occult arts, and has lived for three hundred years so far, it is impossible not to know the method, right?" ”
"Your Majesty really wants to do this?" Shen Chengping turned his head to look at Zhao Li's eyes: "The elixir is shocking, if it is removed by the national fortune, it has to consume most of the national fortune of the current Zhao country, and now that the Zhao country is prosperous, the national fortune will even exceed the Great Zhou, if it is used to refine the elixir, the thousand-year national fortune is afraid that it will be reduced by seventy percent, Your Majesty has to think about it clearly!" ”
Seeing Shen Chengping's serious expression, a trace of hesitation flashed in Zhao Li's eyes, and he looked random but firm: "The widow has made up his mind, if the widow can live forever, there is naturally a way for me to make Zhao Qianqiu eternal, and I hope that Mr. will not hesitate to help!" ”
"Sure enough, people's hearts are like this, and I didn't expect him to be able to find out, or find evidence from the ruler between the eyebrows." Shen Chengping's expression was deep, Zhao Li's eyes full of ambition and greed He saw it completely, okay, since you don't care about yourself, then I'm not welcome.
Shen Chengping thought in his heart, but said to Zhao Li: "Since the king has made up his mind, then I will no longer persuade him, just use the national fortune to resolve the evil spirit, and also beware of the national fortune backlash, even if the king is the monarch of the Zhao country, if you want to resist the national luck, it is best to use a rui beast such as the phoenix as a sacrifice, and if so, the national fortune consumed can also be reduced by half." ”
"Phoenix? Is there really a mythical beast in this world? Zhao Li groaned.
"The phoenix does exist, and the phoenix is full of treasures, if it is refining the elixir, the alchemist can greatly improve his mana, the martial artist can break through the realm, and ordinary people can prolong their life for a hundred years, but with the magic of the phoenix, if you want to kill the phoenix, it is not so simple." Shen Cheng said slowly, but in fact, it reduced the role of the phoenix by ten times.
Zhao Li didn't doubt it, at the beginning, King Chu Ling used Feng Mingnu to resist the counterattack of Chu State's national fortunes, these have relevant records, and the phoenix is obviously much more precious than Feng Mingnu, so he said without hesitation: "The widow can send a large army, even if the phoenix is miraculous, in the face of an army of 100,000, it is impossible to hold on, right?" ”
"In the face of divine beasts, it is not enough to have a large number of people, but also a large number of masters, people with insufficient strength, they can't even get close to the phoenix, so let's ask the king to send a hundred masters."
"No problem, I'll order to mobilize three hundred masters, and accompany Mr. to kill the phoenix, Mr. only needs to tell the widow where the phoenix is!"
