"Isn't there any other way to push the limits of life?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Xiangzi was silent for a while before he spoke: "Yes." Recorded in ancient books. There are two schools of qi refiners, one is to enter the WTO, and the route they take is similar to that of the physical body and spiritual power, but the combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of martial artists, and they do not have the wisdom and huge spiritual power of Wenchen. The other is birth, they believe that the body and spirit are only a drag on themselves, as long as the body and spirit are abandoned and incarnated into heaven and earth, they can obtain eternal life, which is the so-called immortality. ”

"Abandon the body and the spirit? Wouldn't that be the point of such an immortality? Zhao Kuo didn't understand the thinking of these people.

What is the purpose of immortality, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that you haven't enjoyed enough, do you want to continue to enjoy it, if you are tortured every day, who would want to live forever.

"It's not that there's nothing left, theoretically speaking, there's still a mass of will, and 'qi'. But such immortality really doesn't make sense. Xiangzi said.

"Has anyone ever succeeded?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously.

"I haven't heard of it." Xiangzi shook his head.

"It seems that no matter which path you take, there is little hope for immortality." Zhao Kuo sighed, a little stunned, but he was not very disappointed.

After all, from the beginning to the end, he didn't believe in immortality.

"The king's spiritual power is very strong, and if he can break through to the transcendent realm, his lifespan will be much stronger than most transcendent realms. There is also Xunzi, although he is a Wenchen, his personal force is more powerful than many generals, if there is no accident, he can definitely live longer than most Wenchen, and if he can also break through to the transcendent realm, his lifespan will also be greatly improved. Xiangzi said.

"It's not that easy to be in the transcendent realm." Zhao Kuo sighed, even if he didn't give up martial arts and took a short time to practice martial arts every day, he could only keep his strength from declining, and there was no hope if he wanted to break through to the transcendent realm.

Unless it has been baptized in a battle of life and death.

But as the king of Zhao, even if he had the opportunity to go to the front, it was impossible for the generals to let him fight the enemy.

"By the way, can this pill Army Soul Legion be used? Ordinary people can't bear it, but if the Army Soul Legion uses the help of the Army Soul, it should be able to bear it. Zhao Kuo suddenly thought.

It is very difficult to improve the strength of the Army Soul Legion, and even if Zhao Feiqi trains day and night, it is difficult to improve his strength in the slightest.

If the elixir can improve the strength of the Army Soul Legion, the effect will be great.

"The minister hasn't tested it yet." Xiangzi shook his head.

He can apply for a prisoner in the Gangyuan Realm at any time, but if he wants the Military Soul Legion to cooperate, he must nod his head from Zhao Kuo.

"Ben, you go and cooperate with the Xiangzi test." Zhao Kuo looked at Ben who was standing next to him.

"Okay." Ben said very happily.

"There is another one, can the cost of refining the pill be reduced?" Zhao Kuo said.

If he remembered correctly, the cost of this thing was very high, so high that those Fang Shi had to cheat money everywhere to refine one or two.

If the cost can't be reduced, even if Zhao Guo is hollowed out, it won't be enough for the Army Soul Legion.

"The cost of this thing is not large, and most of the ingredients in it are invalid, only a few ingredients are effective, and they can be mass-produced, and the minister has already refined several cans in the past few days. Those alchemists only succeeded once every time they practiced so many times, just because the elixir they refined was good-looking. Xiangzi said.

After all, what is given to the monarch is useless or useless, it must be good-looking, and it must be full.

If the monarch is given a crooked elixir with a pitted surface, even if the monarch is a fool, I am afraid he will not believe that this thing is an elixir.

Although the ingredients are the same as those that are smooth and bright, shining with a metallic luster.

The latter may be a little more toxic.

"And Chen was inspired, toxicity is not absolute, but depends on the dose, and it can save people if it is used well. And for different people, the resistance is also different. In addition to this, stimulating the activity of factors deep in the body can improve strength and promote the evolution of the body, which is not necessarily toxic, but can also be something else. For example, acupuncture, such as drugs extracted from the body of the strong, and so on. However, these still need to be studied slowly. Our equipment is too backward to experiment with some things. Xiangzi sighed.

Now before him was an extremely difficult and tempting road.

He felt that if he could get through, he would become the greatest person in the entire medical family, even more dazzling than Bian Que.

"If you need anything, go directly to the Mo family, I will let them fully cooperate with you, if they can't make it, then there is nothing the king can do." Zhao Kuo said.

He is also not omnipotent, and it is impossible for him to rub medical equipment by hand.

But fortunately, this world is a world with extraordinary power after all, and many things that could not be created at this time in history can be pinched out by strength.

For example, blasting up a mountain, kneading steel into the shape of a ship, vernier calipers, microscopes......

Maybe this is the way to break ten thousand laws.

"By the way, there is also Taihua, the widow asked him if he would like to stay in Zhao State, and if he wanted, let him refine medicine with you." Zhao Kuo said.

Taihua hasn't left yet, he is still waiting for Zhao Kuo to 'wake up', bring him into the palace, and ask him to refine the elixir.

As everyone knows, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo seeing that he was old and embarrassed to do it, he would have been expelled from Zhao State a long time ago.

"If you don't want to, tie it up and send it to the state of Chu." Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.

Qin Wangji's guy is already old, he won't live long, his son and grandson don't have a long-lived ghost, he won't live for a few years after his death, and Qin Shihuang's cub is in his hands again, so don't worry about it at all.

However, the king of Chu is still very young, and he has signs of revitalization, so he can give him a ride for free.

It's a pity that Taihua didn't let Zhao Kuo succeed.

Although Zhao Kuo didn't give him funds, he made him very uncomfortable, but he saw new hope from the doctor.

He sent the elixir to Zhao Kuo, not to poison Zhao Kuo, nor to cheat the funds, but a transaction, he really thought that that thing could strengthen the body.

As for those who became weaker after eating, he defined them as unblessed.

If the good fortune is not enough, it is naturally not worthy of eating the elixir.

But the doctor told him that it was not.

And it only took half a month for the doctor to figure out the elixir he had studied all his life.

He felt that if he could learn the doctor's technique, he might be able to refine the real elixir.

In addition, Taihua considered that he was old and might not have learned the technique before he went on the road, and called the two apprentices who stayed on Taihua Mountain.

Zhao Kuo did not refuse, and gave them treatment second only to Xiangzi, Song Zhen and others.

After all, if you can come up with an elixir, there are always wonderful ideas, and a ghost idea may be able to push Zhao Guo's medical skills forward a big step.

Zhao Guo didn't have more than three to eat.

"My lord, the altar is ready." Zhao Shengyu reports.

After Zhao Guo obtained Jiuding, he immediately began to build an altar outside the city to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.

This is a major event that pays attention to the country, and in the era of Rong Zai, sacrifice is indispensable.

Not only can it be sworn to sovereignty, but it can also be uplifting, and of course, the main thing is to 'connect' with God.

"Inform the civil and military officials that a sacrificial ceremony will be held tomorrow." Zhao Kuo ordered.

"No." Zhao Sheng was a little excited, this is Jiuding!

For this reason, he also went to the ancestral temple to tell his ancestors.

Zhao Sheng believes that the reason why Zhao Guo was able to get Jiuding was because of the protection of his ancestors.

The next day, Zhao Kuo wore the crown of the Son of Heaven and wore twelve crowns, and led the civil and military officials to the altar.

"Knock knock!"

The bell and drum music began to play, and everyone bowed their heads respectfully in the direction of Jiuding.

Zhao Kuo personally placed the prison on the altar, took out the sacrificial text from his sleeve, and began to read it.

“…… May my Zhao country be free of disasters and diseases, the wind and rain will be smooth, the grain will be harvested, the children will grow up healthily, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

On the altar, Zhao Kuo finished reading the sacrifice and threw it into the fire.

The sacrificial text was instantly engulfed in flames, and the fire snake twisted its body towards Zhao Kuo, as if it wanted to say something.

Immediately afterwards, the nine big tripods suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white nine-colored pillars of light rushed out of the nine tripods, injected into the clouds, and the sky suddenly seemed to open nine colorful portals, which were extremely grand.

Heaven and earth converge into a gorgeous picture, and under the reflection of the nine-colored light, the clouds in the sky seem to be ignited, constantly tumbling and boiling.

An invisible and magnificent aura came out from Jiuding, permeating the heavens and the earth, some like a dragon's chant, and some like a phoenix's song.

"Nine hundred years of national fortune!" In Handan Academy, Gander and Shi Shen stood up from the futon abruptly and looked at the sky in surprise.

At this time, there was no need for the two to explain, and everyone understood what the nine-colored brilliance represented.

Rumble!

A roar sounded in everyone's hearts, and then the golden-red pillar of light representing Jizhou Ding suddenly exploded, turning into countless spots and flying around.

The sky over Zhao seemed to be swept away by an inexplicable force.

The next moment, the remaining eight pillars of light also exploded, and the colorful points of light fell to the ground like snowflakes, some fell on people, some on animals, some on crops, some on rivers, and some on mountains......

Mountains, rivers, plants and trees seem to have become vivid, and they have bowed their heads in the direction of Jiuding.

At this moment, the entire Zhao Kingdom seemed to have become different.

More snowflakes drifted into the bodies of everyone present, and everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, their mouths slightly open.

It wasn't until Jiuding was completely immersed in sedimentation and the vision in the sky disappeared that everyone slowly came back to their senses.

Zhao Bao patted the corners of his stiff mouth and looked at the people around him blankly, "Can anyone explain what's going on?" ”

"The fortunes of the country have manifested." Touching the dragon has not completely come back to his senses, "Jiuding contains nine hundred years of national fortune, and each tripod is one hundred years. ”

"Does it mean that my Zhao Kingdom still has nine hundred years of national ancestry?" Zhao Sheng said excitedly, nine hundred years, contentment. The Zhou Dynasty was only 800 years old.

"I don't know." Touching the dragon shook his head, Xia Shang and Zhou all have Jiuding, and no country has reached nine hundred years, and no one knows what is going on.

"What's the deal with those snowflake points of light?" Wei Qi suddenly thought.

Wei Qi has spent most of his time outside building roads in the past few years, and he rarely comes back for the New Year, but this year, Zheng Guo has replaced him, and he can finally come back to enjoy himself.

In professional convenience, Zheng Guo has completely surpassed him.

In terms of water conservancy and road and bridge construction, no one in the entire Zhao State was his opponent.

It seems to have something to do with the content of the sacrifice...... Do you feel it...... Is your own ability stronger? Xunzi said with some uncertainty, he vaguely felt that his ability had strengthened a little, but it was not obvious.

"Like, right?" Wei Wuji was also a little unsure.

"Even if you really get stronger, it's useless." Li Si looked at the teacher Xunzi.

The increase is difficult to even detect by myself, and how big it can be.

"What if everyone in Zhao Kingdom is promoted? If there are no other diseases and disasters, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grain is abundant...... Can it be realized, or can it be partially realized? Xunzi said.

Li Si instantly felt his heart pounding, and he was about to jump out of his throat, if he could really be disease-free and disaster-free, and the grain would be harvested, no, even if only half of the Zhao country had a bumper harvest, the grain would not be able to be eaten.

Not to mention that everyone in Zhao State has been promoted.

"How is this possible?" Huang Shigong swallowed.

No matter how powerful Jiuding is, the national fortune is awesome, and it is impossible to change his life against the sky.

"In a sense, this is a belief of all people in the country, and it is only inspired by Jiuding, just like the Kunlun god of the Xiongnu and the wolf god of Donghu. As for whether it has an effect, it can only be verified by time. Lin Xiangru said.

It's a pity that as Zhao Guo becomes stronger and stronger, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to have the feeling of being ordered to dance on the tip of a knife, otherwise he can still rely on his wisdom when he is facing extreme danger to deduce a seven-seven-eighty-eight.

As a sacrificer, Zhao Kuo knew more than anyone else.

These snowflake-like points of light, that is, scattered national fortunes, can indeed achieve the freedom from disasters and diseases, the wind and rain, and the abundant grain harvest as mentioned in the sacrifice text......

Although it is not all, even if it is only to reduce the plague by 50 percent, reconcile a certain amount of wind and rain, and increase some grain production, it is also very useful for Zhao Guo.

And it lasts for a full nine years, after which the effect gradually wears off.

After the sacrifice is over, it will be the end of the year.

During this period, the Spring Festival in other countries has not yet been fully formed, mainly to worship ancestors, worship the sky or something, but the Spring Festival of Zhao has a bit of color.

The main reason is that Zhao Guo has a Spring Festival holiday.

Not only officials are on holiday, but also workers, teachers, etc.

Everyone has been busy for a year, and they have made some money, and they always want to treat themselves during the New Year and add new clothes to their wives and children.

In addition, according to Zhao's strategic plan, the first step towards unifying the world will be launched next year, and all soldiers may go to the battlefield and not be able to return home for a long time.

Therefore, in addition to leaving a few soldiers to guard, Zhao Guo gave most of the soldiers a month-and-a-half-long vacation, and arranged for carriages to be sent to various counties. Towards the end of the holiday, horse-drawn carriages will also be arranged to pick them up in various counties to save time on the way back and forth.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Kuo hosted a banquet for all officials.

The next day, Zhao Kuo led hundreds of civil and military officials to sacrifice the dead soldiers at the Valhalla.

After the New Year, Zhao Guo was going to plan a war against Yan.

Of course, it is definitely not a direct war, but to transport materials to Wuyang and Daijun, and before the war, the materials are ready, which can greatly shorten the labor required to transport grain.
