Seeing Zhao Zhe suddenly fall to the ground, his breath was completely out in an instant, Xiahou Youde immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Li Mo replied calmly: "The time limit has come." ”

"So your resurrected man can only live so long?"

Xiahou Youde frowned, obviously a little disappointed.

Li Mo shook his head and smiled: "Of course, it's not just that, the old secret method is three techniques in one, when casting the technique, you need to take the secret elixir first, then use the spirit needle to induce the medicinal effect, and finally cast the secret technique, so that it will not be a problem for those who come back from the dead to live for a few years." It's just that it takes a lot of time to fully cast the spell, and the elixir is extremely precious. But of course, if His Majesty wants this person to live for a few years, then the old man is willing to re-apply the spell. ”

Xiahou Youde listened carefully, and immediately waved his hand and said, "No, just let him go like this." ”

After the words fell, he said to Li Mo again, "However, it is still too short to resurrect the dead for only a few years. ”

Li Mo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the art of resurrection of the old decay is derived from the spiritual realm, but it is a pity that the old decay is just a person in the mountains and wilderness, and the cultivation resources are very limited, so the realm of this resurrection technique is indeed not high, in fact, the highest level of this technique, one can make people live to be a hundred years old after resurrection, and the other is that if they die again after resurrection, they can be resurrected again, and so on, an infinite cycle." ”

"Can it really be resurrected in an infinite loop?"

Xiahou Youde was moved when he heard this, and his eyes were full of desire for immortality.

"How dare the old man deceive His Majesty, and the old man is confident that if there are the top resources in the palace, then within a month, the old man will be able to make a great breakthrough in the realm of resurrection technique!"

Li Mo bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked an imperceptible smile.

He shortened the time to control Zhao Zhe because it was easy to show his feet, after all, if Xiahou Youde asked about some private matters that only he and Zhao Zhe knew, it would definitely not be able to hide it.

Moreover, he concluded that although it was only for a moment, it was enough to gain the weight of the old man of the emperor.

After all, no one but him had ever let him see the dawn of the path of immortality.

Sure enough, Xiahou Youde suddenly couldn't hide his excitement and said, "As long as Li Gaoren and you dedicate yourself to studying this immortal art for me, then I can provide any resources you need!"

On the other side, Zhou Shilang lost no time in shouting, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for finally finding a usable talent, with the help of Li Gaoren, this road to immortality is not far away." ”

Xiahou Youde smiled and said with a look of relief, "I have been searching for the way of immortality for nearly ten years, but needless to say, the group of wastes in the Tai Hospital don't even have a usable idea, and the people of this Xuanmen are also secretive, with many rules, and they are treated in vain, not even entering or leaving, not even giving a life-sustaining elixir." Now that my summoning order has finally worked, it really pays off. ”

After the words fell, he said again, "What resources Li Gaoren needs, you can tell me now, and I will be satisfied with you." ”

Li Mo arched his hand and said, "What the old man wants is a position. ”

"Okay, whatever position you want, just say it. No, it's not just a position, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, ten buckets of pearls and jade, a mansion, and a hundred servants. Xiahou Youde said briskly.

Li Mo said: "Then the old man is presumptuous, what the old man wants is the position of the chief elder of the Tai Hospital." ”

"Huh?"

Xiahou Youde frowned slightly, obviously Li Mo's request was a little more than he expected.

Li Mo said unhurriedly: "The old man is not interested in power, but the chief elder controls the resources of the entire Tai Hospital, especially the highest-grade resources, and these are things that are indispensable for the study of the art of immortality. In particular, some forbidden areas in the Tai Hospital are places that only the Chief Grand Elder can go, and these rules were also set by the Ancestor Emperor, so I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to make an exception, so I have to have this luxury. ”

"I see......"

Xiahou Youde understood.

Li Mo deliberately said again: "Of course, if Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, it's nothing more than the progress of research that is slow, and it will be three or five years late." ”

Saying this, Xiahou Youde's brows furrowed even deeper.

He was eager to obtain the way of immortality, the immortal body, and now that he saw Li Mo using a spell to resurrect Zhao Zhe, he had already regarded him as the key to the path of immortality, how could he be willing to wait for three or five more years.

Li Mo's words stopped there, and he didn't say any more, but his eyes fell on Zhou Shilang.

At this time, Zhou Shilang's two eyes were rolling straight, revealing a little cunning light.

These chamberlains have noses that are more sensitive than dogs, and they can sense anything at once, so they can clearly perceive the direction of the forces in the court, so as to ensure that they are always on the most powerful side, which is their way of survival.

When he was the chief elder, he didn't have a good impression of these servants who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the same was true for the three apprentices, among whom Wen Yuxian was even more so.

That Wen Yuxian thought that he was from a famous family, and he looked down on the background of his two apprentices, how could he look down on these lowly servants.

Li Mo still remembered that this Zhou Shilang had been reprimanded by Wen Yuxian in public.

It is conceivable that he became the chief elder, and he had the support of the prince behind him, of course, he didn't take these servants seriously, Zhou Shilang wanted to bring him down but had no chance.

But now, it is Zhou Shilang's chance to fall into the well.

Sure enough, Zhou Shilang finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that what Li Gaoren said is not unreasonable, although this chief elder has a very high status, it is nothing compared to His Majesty's affairs." ”

"What do you know? Of course, I also want Li Gaoren to study the art of immortality earlier, but this sudden arrangement for someone to go up to replace Wen Yuxian is afraid that it will cause criticism in the court. ”

Xiahou Youde glared at him.

Zhou Shilang rolled his eyes and said, "The slave thinks that replacing Lord Wen is indeed a great thing for His Majesty. ”

"A great thing?"

Xiahou Youde frowned.

Zhou Shilang said: "Forgive the slave for his courage, now that the prince has been in power for eight years, I heard that there are voices in the court from time to time to let the prince ascend the throne." ”

Xiahou Youde's face turned cold, and he scolded sharply: "You bold minion, do you know what kind of crime it will be to slander the prince in front of me? Be careful that I will behead you all over the house!"

Plop - Zhou Shilang knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is angry, the slave does not mean to slander the prince, and the prince is virtuous, so he will not have this idea." However, I am afraid that those who support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne do not know how to measure. ”

Only then did Li Mo speak: "Your Majesty, the study of this immortal technique cannot tolerate the slightest error, and a mistake in one of the small steps may bring unpredictable consequences. Therefore, all kinds of top-level materials in this hospital need to be taken by Lao Yu himself to ensure that there will be no problems. But if it is borrowed by someone else, it may change. ”

Xiahou Youde was silent, as the emperor, of course he knew about the disputes in this palace, if the bright ones were not afraid, they were afraid of the dark, if Wen Yuxian really did something to affect the study of the art of immortality, if something went wrong, it would be related to his own life.

Zhou Shilang glanced upward, and saw that the emperor's face had eased a lot, so he said, "Your Majesty, since this Tai Hospital was handed over to Lord Wen, there have been a lot of gossip and rumors, saying that this Lord Wen does not seek to improve the Dan Dao, but instead spends days and nights with a bunch of officials, treating the Tai Hospital as a tavern, and the quality of the various pills sent to the palace is not as good as before. I think that in the past, when Elder Nie was in power, all kinds of pills were sent to the palace in piles, and every few months there were new pills that were successfully researched, and now there are new pills in the past year and a half, and they are not from the hands of Lord Wen. ”

Li Mo saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly, this week, Shilang's ability to fall into the well is really good, and he sees blood in every sentence.

At this time, he said again: "The old man has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Li Gaoren, if you say that if you have offended, I will pardon you for your innocence. ”

Xiahou Youde waved his hand.

Li Mo said: "The old man doesn't know much about the things above the court, but people also hear the discussion in the streets and alleys among the people, and they all say that they have heard that His Majesty has not been in the court for a long time, and the courtiers all regard the prince as respect, and they have no Majesty in their hearts. ”

"What?"

Xiahou Youde's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was furious, and the power of the Son of Heaven could not be despised.

He said coldly, "Okay, well, since that's the case, then I'll knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, let them know who is the real master of this Shang Heavenly Kingdom!"

After the words fell, he asked Li Mo again, "Li Gaoren, even if you can refine this elixir of resurrection, you think that the alchemy will also have a high level." If you have a chance of winning with this Wen Yuxian Dou Dan, but I want to tell you that he was the apprentice of the Great Elder Nie Yu back then, and now he is also a prefecture-level third-grade Dan master. ”

Li Mo said confidently: "No matter who his apprentice is, the old man has a ten-percent chance of winning, and he has fought Dan no less than a thousand times in this life, and he has never said that he has been defeated." ”

"Okay! It's worthy of Li Gaoren, then let's move to the Tai Hospital." ”

Xiahou Youde nodded.

So, the group left the prison and went all the way north until they arrived at the Tai Hospital.

Eight ten-zhang towers, rising smoke and dust, before entering the door, smell the wanton pervasive incense.

The glazed tile wall, the moire red lacquer column, the structure of the entrance gate, the unique treasure bottle decoration on the top of the building has become the style of the hospital different from other buildings in the palace, like a pure land independent of the palace.

Walking in, a bunch of alchemists immediately rushed over and knelt down.

"You are all busy with your own business, Zhou Shilang, you come and lead the way. ”

Xiahou Youde waved his hand.

Zhou Shilang immediately walked to the front and walked towards the depths of the Tai Hospital.

Li Mo followed the team, his brows furrowed slightly.

I think that when he was in office, this hospital was so orderly, everyone performed their duties, although they were busy every day, they were also happy, but now when you look at it, the whole leisure place can be seen everywhere.

The way of alchemy is already hard, and there is no room for slackness, and the casual atmosphere that pervades this place can be seen that the Tai Hospital has greatly declined under the management of Wen Yuxian.

The qualifications of the alchemists I saw on the way were also uneven, and they were probably the children of powerful people who came in through the back door.

Thinking about the fact that the Tai Hospital, which he had spent a lot of hard work on, had fallen like this, the anger in his heart would not come to one place.
