When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 93 Life and Death

Li Shun couldn't bear to look at Zhuge Xuanyi, who looked miserable even when she was sleeping. Her physical condition was so poor.He had tried his best to grasp the scale. He thought that the weakness was temporary and could be repaired slowly later. However, the poison had destroyed her foundation. After so many days, her Yuan Yin showed no sign of recovery. .He decided to go to Zhang Tingnian and ask if there was a solution.

In the Qingyuan Palace, Zhang Tingnian saw Li Shun coming in and thought he was here to collect the elixir, so he handed Li Shun the longevity elixir with an extra ten percent increase.Li Shun was not in a hurry to get it and told Zhuge Xuanyi's situation.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I said it last time. It's good that she can survive. How long she lives depends on luck."

"Is there no way to cure her? Even if she is allowed to live for seven to eighty years like a normal person."

"If Your Majesty doesn't mind, make her into a human puppet. Maybe she can live longer this way. However, since she has committed herself to His Majesty, there will be some emotional shortcomings in making a human puppet. Your Majesty needs to think twice before doing so."

"This..." Li Shun understood from the nine puppets. Although they retained their self-awareness, their whole people revealed a cold feeling emotionally.

Seeing Li Shun's hesitation, Zhang Tingnian comforted him: "A person's life is unpredictable, and the length of life is determined by God. She is a poor woman. It is not in vain that your Majesty makes her feel happy and joyful during her lifetime." Come and live in this world. I say this as your Majesty is a friend. If your Majesty makes him into a puppet because he can't let go, his life will be longer, but his soul will be missing. This is putting the cart before the horse."

"The Imperial Master is quite open-minded."

"Your Majesty, I can't see it either. So I chose never to get it. I don't want your Majesty to suffer. Love, family affection, and friendship are all treasures given to people by God. However, these beautiful things are considered poison by cultivators. It’s a calamity. In story novels, there are often stories of gods descending to earth to survive the calamity of love, and after enlightenment, they walk away. In this way, they are no longer human.”

Zhang Tingnian paused for a moment and continued: "The word "immortal" means that one person can become an immortal if one person is as strong as a mountain and the human heart is as hard as a mountain and as hard as a stone. Your Majesty is the king of men and the emperor, and it is difficult for him to understand the preciousness of love. If you follow him in everything Desires and obsessions, abandoning true feelings, will eventually fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate oneself.”

"I didn't ask about how to treat Zhuge Xuanyi, but the imperial master came to enlighten me. That's all, let her decide everything."

Li Shun was still too young to listen, picked up the elixir and left.Back in the dormitory, Zhuge Xuanyi had already woken up. She was inevitably disappointed not to see Li Shun before, but when he came back, she was smiling again.She couldn't help but feel a little shy as she recalled the madness last night.

Li Shun ordered the imperial kitchen to bring some food and fed her once. Zhuge Xuanyi's eyes became moist.He still listened to some of Zhang Tingnian's words and treated her better.

Li Shun also told her the answer he got from Zhang Tingnian, and as expected, she did not agree.

"I don't want anything now, be it status, medical treatment, life or death, the emperor doesn't need to worry about me. You just need to let me stay in the palace and come to see me occasionally. I will be satisfied."

Seeing that she was a little world-weary, Li Shun didn't know how to comfort her: "Don't be too pessimistic. The world is a big place with three thousand avenues. There are always capable people and strangers who can save you. I will help you pay attention."

Zhuge Xuanyi felt her heart warm and was about to express her feelings.Li Shun's mouth came out again with unpleasant words: "If not, I will just be a puppet. It doesn't matter if you love me or not, I am not lacking anyway."

Zhuge Xuanyi's pink fist knocked on Li Shun's chest: "Can't you speak properly?"

Li Shun grabbed her hand and said half-seriously: "I am an obsessed person. I can't take it up or let it go. What if I am attracted to you? How should I deal with your departure? You You can't be so selfish and only care about your own liberation. Even if the world of mortals is a sea of ​​swords and fire, you have to stay with me."

Zhuge Xuanyi's tears finally flowed down, and she cried on Li Shun's shoulder for a long time. When the tears stopped, she raised her head and asked, "So, you have no feelings for me now?"

"Yes, but not much, just take your time."

"Take your time?"

Zhuge Xuanyi's eyes were a little confused. She seemed to have fallen in love with this promiscuous emperor.September [-], the fifth year of Shengtong, is the Double Ninth Festival.

The warlocks that Li Shun had been waiting for for nearly a month finally arrived.Who calls Li Shun unlucky?The family closest to the capital happened to be Fengjiazhuang. The day after Fenglan entered the palace, the Internal Affairs Office sent the news that Fengjiazhuang's family had been wiped out.The others arrived first, seven days ago.Fortunately, except for Feng Rong who passed away, everyone else is still alive and well.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Shun hosted a banquet with Dayin's highest standards to receive them.

Fang Ji, an eighth-level warlock of the alchemy lineage, invited Wu Sheng, a seventh-level warlock of the divine lineage. In addition, He Sanshui, an eighth-level warlock of the witchcraft lineage who had been serving as a worshiper at the Divine Mechanism Building Office, was recalled. All the five registered great warlocks who could come came.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!" Li Shun had already issued an edict in advance to restore their positions in the Manufacturing Office.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Several people stood up and sat down.

Li Shungao sat on the dragon chair and said cordially: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. You are all elders who have a relationship with Emperor Shizong. I would like to express my gratitude to you for being able to disregard your past grievances and support me again in Dayin Sheji. I hope you can clarify with me. Huanyu, give the world a peaceful and prosperous age."

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

"Before the banquet begins, I have one thing to discuss with you. You have basically represented the highest level of the Warlocks of Dayin. I want to open a place dedicated to teaching Warlocks. I wonder if you think it is feasible?"

Alchemist Fang Ji said: "Your Majesty, although sorcerer training does not require talent as much as legal training, it does require some fate. Some people are not destined to be good at it and are destined not to achieve great achievements in their lives. Those who can become great sorcerers, They are all the best among us." He thought the emperor wanted to copy their success.

Li Shundao: "I am not forcing you to cultivate great magic power. Let me put it this way. For example, if you are in the alchemy lineage and have average talent, if you can study the transformation of daily life items, you are qualified. If you have good talent and can prevent evil spirits from harming the people, you are qualified. Passed. As for extremely talented people, I would like to trouble you to accept them as disciples, teach them personally, and make them the pillars of the country? How about that?"

Fang Ji understood what the emperor meant and said excitedly: "If this is the case, your majesty must have great merit!"

All three of them were in high spirits.

Li Shun poured cold water on them: "If you want to implement this strategy, it will take the power of the whole country. Unfortunately, Dayin's country is in dire straits. There are nobles in the north who do not listen to the imperial edict and try to break the soil and seal the king. There are some in the south. The evil gentry does not respect the court's laws, annexes land, embezzles taxes, and reduces the court's finances. What do you think I should do?"

The square halberd jumped up and said loudly: "If the emperor has this intention, I am willing to share your worries. I have seventeen disciples, one great warlock, five medium warlocks, and the remaining disciples are at least a fourth-level warlock, and they can replace you." You go out to war and destroy the nobles!"

Li Shun also cheered loudly: "Okay! I am very pleased that the master has such patriotic heart." He turned to look at the other two: "What do you two think?"

Fang Ji immediately pulled them both up: "Why are you hesitating? This is a great opportunity for us warlocks to rise together."

Wu Sheng looked at Fang Ji, then at He Sanshui, and said, "I am willing!"

He Sanshui also stood up and saluted again: "I am also willing."
