When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 46
The human puppet is an alchemical product with human beings as the main body.

When Zhang Tingnian said this word, everyone was shocked. Everyone present had either seen the leader of the Shenmu Cult, or had fought with a third-level voodoo man. The last time he had a defective voodoo man beside him was Lu Mianzhi. In addition, they all regard human puppets as a kind of poison and turn people into monsters. This is too harmful to the world.

Zhang Tingnian saw their expressions and was confused: "What? Have you seen human puppets?"

Li Shun told the people one by one about the poison.Zhang Tingnian almost laughed out of anger: "How can a Gu man be compared with a human puppet? That kind of aberration is a sign of immature technology. Moreover, it is a voodoo technique, not alchemy."

"I even suspect that these people who are skilled in the art are the nourishment for the Gu people. If someone uses resting insects to refine the Gu people, the cold air in the body cannot be controlled. They must be suppressed with hibiscus flowers that have absorbed the human's blood before they can use their abilities."

"Of course, I am not suppressing my colleagues. People with strong Gu skills can also create powerful Gu people without flaws. The refiner of the Shenmu Sect is either unskilled or does it intentionally. I prefer the latter. Someone who can use rest insects to refine Gu people must be a great warlock. As for why he did this, I don’t know! Maybe he is afraid that people will guess who he is?"

"But Gu people are still too crude compared to alchemy. Using Gu insects to enter the human body to increase strength is like taking herbs, pulling them out of the ground, boiling them in a pot and drinking them. Alchemy is like mixing them in proportions, refining the properties of the medicine, and rubbing it. Take it as a pill. Which one is better between the two?"

Although everyone was confused, they felt it made sense.They watched Zhang Tingnian explain the techniques he was proud of with great interest. He really loved alchemy!Li Shun even thought that he might have hired the wrong person?

"My idea is to use alchemy to refine the hearts of resting insects into human beings and implant them into the human body. This will not only eliminate the harm of hibiscus flowers, but also enhance people's strength."

Lu Mian raised his concerns: "Will people still know their relatives?"

Zhang Tingnian proudly patted his chest and promised: "This is a good question! I can't guarantee it for others, but I can preserve people's self-awareness."

Lu Mian immediately agreed: "Then just do what the immortal said!"

Zhang Tingnian poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too early. There is one more thing I didn't say. A human puppet must have an owner. Once made into a human puppet, although he can think and do things, he must obey A certain person's order, otherwise why would he be called a puppet?" His eyes turned to Li Shun, and Lu Mian followed his gaze and understood what he meant.

"I am willing to make decisions on my brother's behalf and be loyal to the emperor. It doesn't matter if he hates me in the future. I ask the emperor to issue an order to create a puppet."

Li Shunjian rambled on, and the topic returned to himself: "Are you sure?"

Lu Mian affirmed again: "Living alone is more important than anything else. I don't think my cousin wants grandma and sister-in-law to continue to be stupid."

Of course Li Shun would not refuse such a good thing, he was short of manpower!

He cleared his throat: "I immediately issued an order that Lingji Sanren Zhang Tingnian be granted the title of 'National Preceptor'. He will be in charge of the alchemy affairs of Qingyuan Palace and the production of human puppets to solve the harm caused by the witchcraft left by the Shenmu Sect."

"As for you, are you interested in entering the palace and working for me?"

"Ah?" Lu Mian felt a chill in his crotch. Wouldn't the emperor want him to be a eunuch?He fell to the ground and worshiped: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin is a single descendant of the ninth generation. Please forgive me!"

Seeing his misunderstanding, Li Shun explained: "I have established a new internal affairs office to purchase the materials needed for me to make alchemy and make human puppets. I don't need to be a eunuch. You are from the Zhu Family Trading Company, and you also know that I and the Zhu Family relationship. Now that I am short of manpower, they are willing to let them go."

"But Xiaomin has only been an apprentice for more than a year! Xiaomin is afraid that he is not capable enough."

"You can learn to do things slowly. What I value is your character. A person's ability can be trained, but a person's character is difficult to change. After your cousin becomes a puppet, there is a high probability that he will be assigned to work in the internal office. , he is too young, you can take care of him."

Seeing that the emperor had said this, Lu Mian had nothing to hesitate about. Besides, he had heard many secrets today. If he didn't agree, his life would be in danger: "I am willing to do things for the emperor."

After everything was arranged, Li Shun and others parted ways with Lu Mian.Yan Dahu changed into casual clothes and followed Li Shun back to the palace. He had something to report.On the way back to the palace, Li Shun asked Zhang Tingnian: "Master, do the human puppets you refine must obey someone's orders?"

Zhang Tingnian said: "Not necessarily, but the human puppet is very powerful. If you can't obey His Majesty's orders, will you feel relieved?" Li Shun was a little surprised that he had such thoughts?Why did I think you were an honest person?

Zhang Tingnian added: "Besides, the materials were all provided by His Majesty, and I was just contributing. I originally wanted one, but considering that His Majesty didn't send a gift for his birthday yesterday, I'll make up for it today."

Li Shun was speechless, but he was still an honest man. Do you really not understand the importance of technical advantages?He was a little embarrassed: "I'd better give you one. I don't want us to be just monarchs and ministers. I hope we can be friends."

Today, Li Shun has gained a lot of experience and understands that Zhang Tingnian is just a technical geek who has no bad intentions and cannot play too many tricks when interacting with them.

"A friend?"

Zhang Tingnian felt that Li Shun understood him easily, so he accepted it unceremoniously.After entering the palace, he returned to Qingyuan Palace to say goodbye to Li Shun and others.Concubine Yang returns to Yucui Palace.Li Shun took Yan Dahu to the study room.

"Has everything been done?" Li Shun asked.

"There are five hundred people in total. They are all people in the capital with clean family backgrounds, knowledgeable people, and trustworthy people. And they are all willing to serve the emperor, which is enough to form an internal affairs office."

"Very good, I can rest assured that you will do the work. Your city defense task is very important, otherwise, I will hand over the Internal Affairs Department to you. Now, you still have to draw up a list for me and how to distribute the positions."

Yan Dahu chuckled and took out a note from his arms: "I have already drafted it."

Li Shun nodded with satisfaction. This guy is funny and very meticulous in his work.He took it and looked at it, and found that there was basically no problem. The internal office had a general manager, a deputy general manager, seven managers, 21 purchasers, and several merchandisers.

"Today's boy, I am going to let him be a purchaser. You are responsible for saying hello to the people below. Don't bully others."

"I understand. He is protected by the Emperor."

"I don't protect anyone! I do everything based on my ability." Li Shun laughed and cursed a few times, then asked: "By the way, where did you just say you often go in disguise?"

Yan Dahu pretended to be dumbfounded: "Did I say that?"

Seeing that he was dishonest, Li Shun threatened, "How dare you deceive me?"

Yan Dahu said innocently: "I'm going to patrol in disguise to see if there are any lawbreakers."

Li Shun pointed at Yan Dahu angrily and said: "Don't go to those dirty places in the future. If you like the girl from that house, tell me and I will grant you a marriage."

Yan Dahu shook his head desperately: "Your Majesty, I am still young and don't want anyone to take care of me."

Li Shun looked like he hated iron and said, "Step back."

Yan Dahu was relieved: "I'm leaving." He approached the door and suddenly turned around furtively: "Your Majesty, next time I pay a private visit incognito, I will take you there and you will know."

Li Shun cursed: "Get out!" His thoughts were all guessed!

　I've finished coding it at this point today, I may add more updates, just give me a break.
