When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 53 Zhuge Xuanyi

When Li Shun came out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, it was already pitch black. There was no moon tonight, which could not arouse the poet's sorrow. The palace lanterns were lit one by one, between the red walls and yellow tiles, illuminating the empty alleyway.The whimpering wind is like the cry of a resentful ghost.Although the palace is magnificent, there is always an undertone of desolation.The longer he was the emperor, the more Li Shun understood it, so he always had fun in the world and refused to face it alone.

Cover up in front of others and be depressed behind others.

Li Shun believes that the most unbearable feeling for people is loneliness.In reality, many people go astray due to loneliness.The emperor happened to be a "lonely person" on a spiritual level. No one told his thoughts, and no one listened to him. After hearing this, he would doubt others, and even become murderous.He could understand Sejong's regret for his friends.What about yourself?

The supreme and unique dragon chair will transform people into beasts of power, baring their teeth and claws, and alert to the slightest disturbance.Sooner or later, his loved ones, relatives, and friends will all become enemies that need to be guarded against in his eyes, just for the sake of gaining power and the eternal stability of the country.

He is not a sentimental writer, and he cannot express his current complex emotions in any gorgeous sentences.But there is one word that sums it up, fear.A person's fear of a strange creature like the Emperor!
"It's useless to think too much. The road has to be walked, and the things have to be done. If you are timid before you encounter it, you will only die. Aliens are aliens! Anyway, I am the emperor, and I am not ready to be a human being!"

Li Shun took a deep breath, regained his mood, and strode forward.He walked along the road toward the sky and came to Qingyuan Palace. The aroma of the elixir hit his nostrils.

"Old man, have I, Old Li, prepared the elixir of longevity?"

"Old man?" Zhang Guoshi, who was bottling the second batch of elixirs, naturally didn't understand what a certain monkey was talking about. He saw Li Shun come over and pick up an elixir and throw it into his mouth like peanuts: "Taste Not bad. But why is it different from the longevity pill you gave me before?"

"This is the Peiyuan Pill. Your Majesty still needs to lay the foundation now and cannot take the Immortality Pill rashly. Please don't take too much of the pill that was given to Your Majesty earlier."

"Hey... Master, don't worry about me. I think the Immortality Pill is very good. It tastes good and I feel full of energy after eating it. I have eaten the Peiyuan Pill left by the late emperor, and the foundation has been laid long ago. Although the taste refined by the Imperial Master is better, there is not much difference in effectiveness, so it is better to use the Immortality Pill directly." After saying that, Li Shun took two bottles of Peiyuan Pill and left.

Zhang Tingnian also smiled bitterly after hearing Li Shun's words and seeing his actions.How can the longevity pill be so easy to refine?As a seventh-level great warlock, he could make three furnaces of the Peiyuan Pill in one day, but he could not make even one furnace of the Immortality Pill in ten days.You're lucky if one of the hundred in a batch is qualified.They had an agreement before that they would hand over at least one bottle of elixir every day.Isn't this embarrassing?

Before Zhang Tingnian had time to explain to Li Shun, he left, leaving him alone in a mess next to the roaring fire.

Li Shun naturally had his reasons for leaving in a hurry. Time waits for no one.He returned to the study room, called the newly appointed director of the Internal Affairs Department, and issued the first order: "Hurry up and find the three people on the list. How long will it take?" Fortunately, the information about Shenjiwei's last mission was still there, so there was no need to go out of his way to find it. Go read it.

Lou Kong, the general manager of the Internal Affairs Department, glanced at the address above: "Your Majesty, the nearest one will come and go. It will take at least seven days to find someone. I'm afraid..." He saw the Emperor's face gradually darken. , hurriedly changed his words: "Seven days, seven days to find the nearest one!"

"Oh! Let's do it." Li Shun told Lou Kong the precautions of Bai Ju in black. He was not making things difficult for him, and he knew in his heart that it was too late, but he could do it faster, or faster, because he had too few people to use. .He poured the elixir he got from Zhang Tingnian into his mouth. He had not told the truth just now. Although Zhang Tingnian's Peiyuan Dan was not as good as the Changsheng Dan, it was much better than those things left by the late emperor.Now only becoming stronger can give him a sense of security.

"It is reported that Zhuge Xuanyi has come to the palace to see me!"

Zhuge Xuanyi was promoted from the Yuelang Officer of the Shenji Manufacturing Office to the Guard Affiliated Officer, and his daily duties changed from working in the field to managing Ling Yuelang and handling intelligence from various places.This troubled her, who had been fond of movement rather than silence since she was a child.

The Shenji Guard has six major attributes: guard, statistics, machine, camp, reserve, and search. Each attribute has its own Lingyuelang team, but only the guards and statistics are really responsible for intelligence. and the search genus. Among the three, the guard genus is responsible for supervising the officials and maintaining the court, the Statistics Department is responsible for monitoring the interior of the Shenji Manufacturing Office and the Jinwu Guards, and the search genus targets the people and searches for materials. They have the worst reputation.

For the other three, the machine-making attribute is the core of the Divine Machine-making Office. It is full of warlocks who use the resources of the imperial court to research day and night.The maintenance department is more like a department that cooperates with the mechanism department to deal with the damage caused during their experiments and is also responsible for the construction and maintenance of the mechanism.The reserve attribute is easy to understand. It is the preservation of resources and the items developed under the planning attribute.

When she learned about the emperor's late-night summons, her heart skipped a beat. He wouldn't want to do anything to her, would he?She remembered the reluctant look in his eyes when he left the palace before.So, she specially put on a winter uniform and entered the palace to meet the emperor.

In fact, she felt guilty when facing Li Shun now, not only because of his coveting, but also because of concealing the origin of the poison.If he knew that the poison came from Zhuge Xiangqing, he would definitely suspect that Zhuge Xiangqing and Zhao Zhongxiao were colluding.

She understood that Zhuge Xiangqing would not have anything to do with Zhao Zhongxiao.Although she has a bad relationship with Zhuge Xiangqing, she also knows that Zhuge Xiangqing has not been involved in the affairs of the Shenji Manufacturing Office in recent years and has been buried in alchemy.

The reason she hates Zhuge Xiangqing is that her grandmother and her biological mother, who she loved most since childhood, were forced away by him.The men of the Zhuge family are all alchemy madmen with indifferent family ties. In order to create powerful alchemical items, they even do not hesitate to experiment on their relatives.

She was still young at that time, and one time her grandma discovered that her mother had been disfigured by alchemy. Zhuge Xiangqing said that it was him who did it. Grandma angrily took her mother and left Zhuge's house. She originally wanted to take her away, but her father stopped her. .Zhuge Zhenglong was reluctant to let her leave.

From then on, the only relative left around her was her father, but even his father disappeared because of a secret case committed by the late emperor.

She didn't understand why Zhuge Xiangqing gave Zhao Zhongxiao a poison, was it to save herself?Or was it threatened?Who can threaten an eighth-level warlock?To save yourself?Will he?
However, the fact is that the poisonous man did appear, and she does not want Zhuge Xiangqing to be wronged and doubted. After all, he is still her relative!She doesn't want to owe him anything!
