Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Emperor's Secret
Lu Zhi controlled a mechanical floater to follow them closely, while the other carefully stayed in their sleeves.
One to see their movements, the other to steal their conversations.
After a while, the two boys swaggered out of here and went to a compound next to the imperial city.
"Stop, what are you two doing again?" a stern question came from behind.
"Master. The two boys turned around, bowing their heads and not daring to answer.
"What are you carrying?" Yan Kongdao's eyes were fierce, so that neither of them dared to look directly.
"Hurry up and open it!"
Under the repeated persecution of Yan Kongdao, the two children finally reluctantly opened the package.
In an instant, the thousand-year-old lingzhi, thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old snow lotus and other thousand-year-old elixirs inside were all revealed.
"Say, where did all this come from?" Yan Kongdao asked angrily.
These medicinal materials are all extremely precious, with the financial resources of his two apprentices, how can they be bought.
"Master, this is what we picked outside. Ling Zhi argued.
"Say it or not, do you still want me as a master!"
What he was most afraid of was hearing that these things were stolen by two apprentices outside.
"No, master, let's be honest, this is from the outside shop. Linghai was immediately anxious when he heard this, and immediately explained.
"Yes, these are all given to us by the people in those shops, and as soon as they heard that we were going to help Qin Shi Huang refine the Immortal Pill, they gave us these medicines. Ling Zhi argued.
Looking at Ling Zhi's wandering eyes, Yan Kongdao knew that he was lying.
"Ling Zhi, did you instigate Ling Hai to do it. Yan Kongdao stepped forward and grabbed Ling Zhi's ear and asked.
"Master, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! I was wrong, master, I was really wrong. ”
"Master, let go of Senior Brother, this suggestion was made by me, punish me if you want to punish me. Ling Zhi said with a stubborn face.
"How many people did those Qin people kill and rob so much wealth at the beginning, I just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth. ”
"Alas!" Hearing Ling Hai's stubborn voice, Yan Kongdao couldn't help but sigh.
He knew very well the background of his apprentice, he was the one who rescued them from the soldiers of the Qin State in the first place.
This is not to blame Ling Zhi's hatred for the Qin people.
"That's right, there's nothing to do with it anyway, these things can just be used for the master to refine medicine. Ling Zhi said with a grin.
Yan Kongdao shook his head: "This time you really hurt the teacher. ”
"Why, didn't you just take a little bit of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs? Ling Zhi said indifferently.
Qin Shi Huang sent more medicinal materials, many of which were superb, and they also stole a lot, and the master was not necessarily so worried.
"It's just some precious medicinal materials for us, but for Emperor Qin, it's a very important piece of information. What would Emperor Qin think if he heard your words?" Yan Kongdao sighed.
"If we can't refine the Immortal Pill, I'm afraid not only will I die, but even you will not be able to escape the catastrophe. ”
Originally, Yan Kongdao was very low-key in front of this group of alchemy masters, even if he couldn't refine the Immortal Pill in the future, he wouldn't have too much responsibility.
But now he is likely to be the target of public criticism.
After saying the reason, Ling Zhi and Ling Hai's faces turned pale, and they regretted it, "Master, then we can return all these things, can we still remedy it." ”
"It's late. Yan Kongming shook his head.
"That master, can this immortal pill be successfully refined? Ling Zhi asked eagerly.
"Impossible, how can there be immortal people in this world, not even our cultivators, let alone helping others. Yan Kongdao vetoed it in one bite.
Immortality is originally an ethereal legend, and I have never heard of a person who relied on cultivation to achieve immortality, or who took any precious elixir to live forever.
"Then what should we do, the time required by the First Emperor is only a few months away, are we dead? Ling Zhi said with a dejected expression.
He now regretted his impulsiveness.
"By the way, master, isn't Qin Shi Huang a cultivator of the psychic realm? According to the current cultivation of a martial artist, he should have a lifespan of hundreds of years, why is Qin Shi Huang so anxious to find the elixir of immortality. Ling Hai asked suspiciously.
Such a long time was enough for Qin Shi Huang to do anything, how could he be in such a hurry to ask them to refine the Immortal Pill?
"There's a bit of secrecy involved. Yan Kongdao sighed.
"You know Jing Ke, the number one assassin in the world. ”
"I know, I went to assassinate the King of Qin alone, such a feat, no one in the world knows, but unfortunately it failed in the end. Ling Hai sighed.
He was originally from the Chu State, and he had no good impression of Qin Shi Huang.
"Be careful!" sighed after looking around and seeing that there was no one else, "I know you can't forget that hatred, but now you have to forget it for a while." ”
"Although Jing Ke's assassination of Qin failed back then, he also seriously injured the First Emperor, destroying his foundation, and even more poisoning his body, so that he could no longer cultivate. ”
"Although someone later cured this poison, his cultivation could only stop at the psychic realm, not only his vitality was greatly damaged, but his longevity was greatly damaged, not even comparable to an ordinary person, which is why he was in a hurry to refine the Immortal Pill. ”
This secret is still little known, but he has diagnosed King Qin before, so he will guess some truths.
Yan Kongdao estimated that Qin Shi Huang didn't have much time left, so he was so urgent.
"Alright, you pack these things and go in with me, but don't go out again for a while. Yan Kongdao closed the door and returned to his alchemy room.
Lu Zhi watched this person stay in front of the furnace and refine the elixir, so he controlled the mechanical floaters to leave here and go to other places to investigate.
"It turns out that there is still this kind of secret, I said that the emperor who unified the six countries, how could he have no martial arts, and he would die so early, it turned out to be the bane planted by Jing Ke back then. Lu Zhi said with emotion.
He had been puzzled before, but now that he heard the warlock's explanation, he finally understood.
This is also the reason why Ying Zheng died so early, and why Ying Zheng couldn't wait to find the elixir of immortality.
The water in this world is still very deep, and even the King of Qin, who is closely protected by countless masters, has been killed sometimes.
His martial arts in the congenital stage can only be regarded as a bottom level, so Lu Zhi became more and more cautious and tried not to cause trouble.
Even if you do something, try not to let others find out who you are.
