Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 417 The Secret of the Immortal Medicine
The mist drifted, and the green smoke curled up.

A three-legged square-eared copper alchemy furnace was cooked under the raging fire, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the furnace cover was lifted, and pills shining with metallic luster flew out of the furnace, and fell into a terrifyingly rotten palm.

"How about this time?"

Chi Yao stood up from the alchemy furnace, his tone full of hope.

Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything, but took some crumbs from a pill and fed them to the sparrows prepared in advance.

"Twitter~"

After the sparrow swallowed it, it suddenly became excited, and then fell into a frenzy and ran around.But soon, the feathers on its body began to fall off in pieces, and it fell down and crashed to death on the rock on the top of the mountain after a while.

Yuan Tiangang, who watched all this silently, shook his head and sighed silently.

"Is it still not possible?"

Chi Yao naturally understood such an obvious result, and sighed helplessly.

He felt very smooth when refining this batch of elixir, and even felt a sense of consonance. He thought it would be a great success, but he didn't expect...

"No, it's barely a success this time."

Yuan Tiangang's hoarse voice made Chi Yao's slightly frustrated expression freeze, and then turned into ecstasy.

"real?!"

"Of course, how could I lie to you?"

"Then why did this sparrow die? The death is still so miserable?" Chi Yao pointed to the bloody mass on the ground next to him with some puzzlement.

"This Violent Blood Pill relies on accelerating the blood flow in the body of the drug user to provide explosive support. Naturally, birds can't resist it."

Yuan Tiangang said it as a matter of course.

"So, I can finally learn how to make the next pill?"

Chi Yao asked.

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly, and shook his hand to throw a piece of silk, with a line of small words on the top that clearly read - elixir!

……

……

After the Tianshan incident, Chi Yao was not in a hurry to go back to Twelve Caves. Although he could enjoy the treatment of an emperor there, everything in Twelve Caves had basically been drained. Other than the blood maple leaf, there was nothing particularly attractive to him.

But Yuan Tiangang is different here. In addition to the elixir he is obsessed with, Chi Yao is also very interested in the knowledge of stargazing, divination and alchemy that the other party has.

Yuan Tiangang was not stingy about these, one wanted to learn, and the other was willing to teach.

However, neither divination nor alchemy can be practiced completely in the underground palace, so the two embarked on a journey of traveling in the clouds.

White mountains and black waters, desert solitary smoke, hilly rainforests, long rivers with sunsets, blue seas with billows...

In the past few years, the two have traveled almost all over the land of China, covering mountains, valleys, rivers and plains.

Today, Chi Yao's level of alchemy has finally been affirmed by Yuan Tiangang, and he has passed on the elixir of immortality.

But looking at the herbs listed above, Chi Yao's expression was a bit unbelievable.

It's not that those medicinal materials are not precious or rare. In fact, they are all rare and precious medicines, but even if alchemy can arouse ten times and a hundred times the power of medicine, it is hard for him to imagine that they can make people live forever .

You know, that is longevity!

After being exposed to Chi You's blood in Twelve Caves, Chi Yao originally thought that the main ingredient in this elixir would also be a legendary item of a similar or higher level!

I didn't expect it to be done by relying on these mortal things. Is alchemy really so good at turning decay into magic?
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Chi Yao's heart, Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Why, do you think this prescription is too simple?"

"...It's not that simple, how should I put it, it just feels a bit too ordinary."

Chi Yao said bluntly, "I thought that even if there is no dragon blood and phoenix marrow in it, at least something of the same level should be added?"

"Hehe, it seems that your alchemy skills are not in vain."

Yuan Tiangang took two steps and explained, "We also have rules for alchemy. The materials we use will have corresponding functions, and we can't create something out of nothing. You guessed it right, you really can't live forever with those things alone." , because this elixir lacks the most important main material, even His Majesty Taizong and Li Chunfeng didn't know the main material!"

"Oh? Even Li Chunfeng doesn't know?"

Chi Yao was a little surprised. It's normal for Li Shimin not to know. After all, he doesn't know alchemy and it's easy to hide it. But Li Chunfeng is not inferior to Yuan Tiangang's great magician. The two have a close personal relationship. It's not easy to hide this .

And if you think about it from another angle, this medicine of immortality was clearly refined under the emperor's behest, but the raw material was kept from the emperor, which shows that Yuan Tiangang is not sure whether the emperor who knows the main ingredient of that flavor will agree to continue refining it .

What is it that can shake the emperor in front of Changsheng?

"It's the Dragon Qi of the Son of Heaven, or in other words, the fortune of the country."

Yuan Tiangang's voice became deeper, "It is precisely because of it that this medicine of immortality is worthy of its name. Strictly speaking, the person who takes the medicine does not die at all, it just becomes a rest with the country. When the Tang Dynasty is alive, the people are alive; when the Tang Dynasty is dead, the people are dead!"

It turned out to be just a pseudo-undead medicine...

Chi Yao was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but he also understood Yuan Tiangang's thoughts at that time:

"So you were worried that Li Shimin would not agree to risk the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, so you concealed it?"

"That's right, His Majesty Taizong is one of the few wise kings and sages, and his obsession with immortality is not that deep. He will most likely not agree to the loss of the fortune of the Tang Dynasty just to verify a prescription that is not true or false. of."

Until now, when Yuan Tiangang talked about Li Shimin, he still looked respectful and admirable.

Chi Yao believed Yuan Tiangang's statement that Li Shimin had no deep obsession with longevity.

Because even if the elixir refined by Yuan Tiangang three hundred years ago has many disadvantages, such as disfigurement, loss of taste, etc., it seems a bit miserable.But for those who are obsessed with longevity, these disadvantages are not completely intolerable.

Disfigurement is nothing more than a little ugly, anyway, the appearance is just skin.

Without the sense of taste, you will not be able to enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas. This will indeed make life lose a lot of fun, but is it really just waiting to persuade a person who is determined to pursue longevity?

This is actually a matter of comparison and measurement.

One end of the balance is longevity + disfigurement + loss of taste, and the other end is everything is normal. After weighing it, there must be people who will choose longevity. If they don't choose it, it is because longevity is not attractive enough for them.

There is no doubt that Li Shimin is probably such a person.

If it was Qin Shihuang...

Will the ending be different?

"You are still alive, which means that the fortune of the Tang Dynasty has not been exhausted, but how much is left, is it enough for alchemy?"

Chi Yao was a little worried, "And since longevity depends on the supply of the country, are there any other restrictions on this supply?"
