071 Secret
"Found it."
Su Chen urged the Divine Thoughts Ripple Induction, and soon found what he wanted in those complicated items.
It was a yellowed codex manuscript, which should have been the notes that Emperor Xi used for alchemy.
When I opened it, it was densely packed with legends and methods about alchemy, and there were more than ten kinds of specific pills.
However, most of them have not yet been verified, and the authenticity is not yet known.
There are only the first three kinds of pills, which Emperor Ao once refined with his own hands, leaving a lot of refining experience and records.
"Qi Nourishing Pill, taking it to obtain the spirit, and nourishing the Yuan Qi in the body, should be a commonly used cultivation pill during the Qi refining period......"
"Healing pills, taking them can remove pain, repair body damage, and use to heal wounds, the effect is definitely better than ordinary drugs or Jinchuang medicine......"
The first two pills are relatively normal.
The materials you need, although expensive, can still be obtained by purchasing.
If you refine it and take it, it will not have any after-effects.
And this third elixir is a little peculiar, this pill is called the life-sustaining pill, it requires a lot of rare and strange materials, to refine, it is rumored that after practice, taking one, can increase the life span of one year.
However, it has obvious side effects, after taking this pill, it will make people mentally disordered, gradually go crazy, and eventually may lose themselves.
Of course, Emperor Ao just wanted to refine this pill, and left a lot of notes on his codex to test and improve, but in the end it seems to have failed.
With little life, he was forced to start taking this life-sustaining pill with erysipelas, trying to use the extended time to change his life.
But in the end, it was still a failure, not only lost his life, but also left a dim evaluation of his later years in the history books.
"Life is short for decades, compared with this vast world, mortal life is indeed too small and short, so immortality has become the dream pursued by countless people, even if it is a man of great talent like Emperor Ao, he can't escape the limit of life, and has to make a desperate bet......"
Su Chen sighed with emotion.
If I didn't have the immortal Dao seed, would I have such a day, when facing the choice of life and death, this kind of life-sustaining pill that knows that there will be erysipelas, eat it or not?
I'm afraid there will never be an answer to this question.
Because he can already live forever.
"Put it away, take it back and study it slowly."
Between thoughts.
Su Chen had already put away the codex, and was thinking about continuing to search in the secret vault to see if there were any other good things.
Suddenly, he sensed a faint fluctuation of aura in the depths of the vault.
"Someone's in there?"
Su Chen was slightly startled.
Because of the stone wall, and the other party's aura is not strong, he looks like an ordinary person without martial arts, so he didn't notice it before.
Immediately, his face changed slightly.
Didn't the emperor already order the blockade of the arsenal?
At such a time, who will run into the secret vault deep in the arsenal?
said that he was a thief, but his breath was so weak, how could he quietly pass over the guards outside.
I am in doubt.
The stone wall not far away suddenly moved, and a figure slowly walked out of it.
Su Chen took advantage of the situation and hid in the dark, and the other party did not notice his arrival.
Through the fluorescence of the night pearl on the wall, Su Chen saw a familiar and unfamiliar face.
"Chu Feng, Emperor Xiaozhuang! How did she get here? ”
Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
The emperor is busy with government affairs every day, and he has all kinds of opportunities every day, how can he have the leisure to run to this secret vault, could it be that there are any bigger secrets hidden in this secret room?
Between thoughts.
Emperor Xiaozhuang had already walked outside, and then quietly returned to his dormitory under the escort of the shadow guards.
Out of curiosity, Su Chen also pushed open the stone door and entered the secret room after the emperor left.
It was found that it was just an empty stone room, with a bed, a table, chairs and benches, arranged like a room, in which there were some traces of life, but now they were all cleaned up.
"Nothing. So what did the emperor do here? ”
Su Chen was even more puzzled, and his divine thoughts rippled around to search and sense, but he did not find anything suspicious.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the rumors in the palace about the life of Prince Jin.
"If this matter is not groundless, then who is the biological father of the Jin Emperor? According to the time calculation, when she was pregnant with the Jin Emperor, it should have been the eldest princess who had just left Kwai Yuan, how did she give birth in the palace without a sound? ”
"The royal family of Chu has always attached importance to blood, although the crown prince and the second prince of the year had no talent, they were also orthodox heirs, why would Chu Xiong support the eldest princess instead of ......"
Thinking of Chu Xiong's special love and attention to Prince Jin, he not only gave him a talisman jade pendant, but also hoped that he could give him shelter before he died.
Could it be ......
Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little frightened.
He quickly stopped himself from conjecturing.
This kind of thing, without any evidence, is all based on assumptions, and it is not accurate, and this matter is too sensitive, if it is involved, it will not benefit anyone.
"Maybe there are things that shouldn't be known. This secret room, as if I had never found it. ”
Su Chen shook his head.
These things have nothing to do with him, so there is no need to get involved.
I didn't dare to stay here for long.
The figure moved, and quietly left the Guanyun Pavilion and returned to the Aoi Courtyard.
……
In the following days, Su Chen began to pick up various medical books that he hadn't read for many years.
Alchemy is such a thing, but you can do it casually.
It requires a very solid medical foundation and a thorough understanding of the pharmacology of each medicinal material.
Although he has read a lot of medical books before, after all, after a long time, some things have not been remembered very deeply, and there is no harm in revisiting them.
Besides.
He also made another trip to Wanbao Pavilion and bought a lot of books on medical books and pills to enrich his knowledge.
Anyway, the last thing you lack is time, and after you have made enough preparations, you can start to do it, and the success rate will always be higher.
During this time, there were many newcomers in the palace.
Every year in spring and winter, it is a good time to cleanse the body, the weather is too cold and too hot, because the medical conditions in this era are too poor, and if you don't pay attention to surgical infection, the mortality rate is too high.
The Department of Internal Affairs sent someone to Kwai Yuan to ask Su Chen if he needed to send more helpers.
After all, he has been in the palace for so many years, no matter how much he has no backstage, he can be regarded as a real old qualification, and he is the head of Yiyuan, and the prince of Jin is still studying here, so someone has to serve tea and pour water or something.
Su Chen still refused.
I live very comfortably in Kwai Yuan alone, and I don't have much work on weekdays, so I have the right to cultivate my temperament.
In addition, there are a lot of mechanisms here, and there are also their own secrets, so there is no need to find someone to come in and cause trouble.
At least for now, he doesn't plan to expose his strength and really do what kind of ancestor of the Chu State.
However, there was one thing that reminded him.
How can I say that I am also a congenital master now, although I am low-key on the surface, I can't really do everything by myself.
It's also time to cultivate some power for yourself.
Although he has now taken control of Tsing Yi Lou and Zhang Mingyuan of the City Guards, this is the team established by Lin Fan at the beginning after all, and he doesn't know the roots.
Secondly, Tsing Yi Lou's power is limited to outside the imperial city, and it is okay to listen to the news in the imperial capital, but there is no way to do it in the palace.
"After Lin Fan's death, under the pressure of civil and military officials, the emperor cleaned up many members of the East Factory, and now it is being reexpanded. There is also the Technical Yongsi, which is the main department responsible for the security of the Imperial City, and has a lot of authority in the palace. If you can arrange for some people to go in, maybe there will be a windfall. ”
Su Chen's idea was simple.
Take the time to go around the Department of Internal Affairs, find a few new people who are quite smart, teach a little rough martial arts, and then let them go to the camp on their own.
It's like sowing seeds, sowing them, and Su Chen won't have to worry about it.
Whether he lives or dies, gets ahead or dies, it doesn't matter to him.
Anyway, I have time, every year and a half, sow a batch, and after a long time, there will always be a few outstanding ones.
Even if there is only one out of a hundred, it is earned.
After a long time, whether it is the East Factory or the Technical Yongsi, or even other departments in the palace, they will be all over their eyeliner.
At that time, the entire palace will be in your hands, and even if there is any change in the future, it will not affect itself, and when the time is right, you can also intervene in the direction of the country's fortunes.
Of course.
This is a long-term project.
Su Chen is not in a hurry, and when he is free, he will go to the Department of Internal Affairs to take a look.
What he is most interested in now is alchemy.
"During this time, I studied pharmacology, and I studied it almost completely. The materials for alchemy have also passed through the Wanbao Pavilion, and a lot of them have been prepared, but you can start trying them. ”
While thinking, Su Chen pushed open the door and entered the underground secret room.
It has already undergone an expansion, with a small bronze furnace standing in the middle of the chamber.
This is a specially ordered Dan furnace through Wanbao Pavilion.
In order to facilitate bringing it into the palace, it was specially built to be relatively small, but even so, there was a thousand catties of weight, but fortunately, Su Chen's internal strength was deep, otherwise it would be difficult to enter the palace silently with the furnace.
Looking at the bronze Dan furnace in front of him, Su Chen hesitated.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if the thing could withstand it, after all, it was only made of ordinary bronze according to the graphics in Emperor Ao's Codex, and there was no special structure.
Strictly speaking, it is not a real Dan furnace.
Using it to refine the pill, whether it can succeed or not, Su Chen is indeed not sure.
In addition to this, the flame used for alchemy is also a problem.
Ordinary flames, the temperature is not enough, and they are not stable, so naturally they cannot be used for alchemy.
This requires borrowing some special flames.
At the beginning, Emperor Ao established the land of alchemy on a leyline outside the imperial city, borrowing the fire of underground lava to calcinate alchemy, but now that place has been transformed into a military casting division, there are many people, and it is not suitable for alchemy.
Fortunately, the pure yang skill that Su Chen cultivated has special attributes, and the Qingguang Realm in his hand is also a treasure.
It can be condensed by the sun's brilliance, so as to give rise to a unique solar fire, which can be used for alchemy, which should not be a big problem.
"Give it a try, and if it fails, think of another way."
Thinking of this, Su Chen no longer hesitated, sacrificed the glaucoma mirror, illuminated the furnace, condensed a ray of sun fire, and started his first alchemy.
