Chapter 805 Chapter 326: Xu Fu Panics! Ying Zheng’s Golden Words Activate! The Cause and Effect! (Part 2)
At the sound of the voice!
Ying Zheng’s expression did not change, but killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Xu Fu.
Back then, all the Alchemy Masters in the palace had already been put to death.
Only Xu Fu had slipped through the net.
As for Xu Fu, Ying Zheng in the past had trusted him without the slightest doubt; if not for the appearance of his own son, which made him stop taking those so‑called Spirit Pills, perhaps by now Ying Zheng would already be gravely ill, with not long left to live.
Especially after stepping onto the path of Cultivation, when he first entered the Innate Realm and, after the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were opened, the toxins were forced out of his body—only then did Ying Zheng realize how long he had been poisoned by those Spirit Pills.
“Summon him.”
Ying Zheng said in a low voice.
At the sound of the voice.
Outside the hall, Xu Fu straightened his robes and crown, then raised his head and puffed out his chest, striding in toward the hall.
He clearly still did not know that Ying Zheng already harbored killing intent toward him, nor did he know the fate of those Alchemy disciples of his.
“Your subject Xu Fu pays respects to the Emperor.”
As soon as he entered the hall.
Xu Fu respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng.
All eyes in the Court immediately fell on Xu Fu, somewhat strange.
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of the Ministers, Xu Fu’s expression did not change.
“Eight years have passed.”
“Where have you been?”
Ying Zheng asked in a cold tone.
Xu Fu’s heart jolted, and he immediately said, “In reply to Your Majesty, your subject went to seek the Immortality Elixir for Your Majesty.”
“And did you find it?” Ying Zheng sneered inwardly.
“The Immortality Elixir exists only in legend; it belongs to the Immortals and Gods.”
“Though your subject exhausted all efforts, I still did not find it, but your subject did find an Immortal, a true Immortal.”
“Your subject beseeched the Immortal for a long time, and finally the Immortal bestowed upon me a Spiritual Medicine. Though it is not the Immortality Elixir, it can extend Life by a hundred years.”
“Today, your subject is willing to offer it to the Great King.”
Xu Fu spoke with a face full of respect, then cupped his hands, moved his mind, and a porcelain bottle appeared in his palms.
After summoning the pills out from the storage ring, Xu Fu could not help feeling somewhat smug inside.
This ability to conjure objects out of thin air should surely astonish the entire Court.
Only,
what surprised Xu Fu was that
when the Spiritual Medicine appeared in his hand, the entire Court was still silent as a grave, calmly watching him.
As if this little trick of his had not shocked the Ministers at all.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are the Ministers in this Court not surprised in the slightest?”
“This summoning of an object is no Mortal ability.”
Xu Fu clearly had not expected that this trick of his would fail to startle the Court officials.
However.
After seeing this move from Xu Fu,
the Ministers’ gazes on Xu Fu instead grew even more solemn.
“There is no trace of Martial True Qi on this man, but rather a special kind of power that is not Martial Dao Power.”
“Moreover, there is an unimaginable Blood Evil Qi on his body, extremely bloody.”
“He should have a Storage Magic Treasure.”
“This person’s origin and purpose are indeed problematic.”
“Back then, only after His Majesty was reminded by the Crown Prince did he learn that the Spirit Pills were poisonous, and these Spirit Pills were all created by the man before us—enough to show that he intended to murder His Majesty.”
“Now that he has returned, he must have a purpose…”
Many Ministers thought to themselves, filled with coldness.
“How could Ying Zheng show no reaction at all?”
“I clearly said it could extend Life by a hundred years.”
Yet on the high seat, Ying Zheng sat straight upon the throne, without any response.
This made Xu Fu all the more puzzled.
“Your Majesty.”
“This Spiritual Medicine can extend the Great King’s Life by a hundred years.”
“Besides that.”
“Your subject has also begged the Immortal to bestow the Immortality Elixir.”
“The Immortal has agreed to this matter as well.”
“So long as we offer five thousand boys and five thousand girls to the Immortal.”
“The Immortal is willing to bestow upon Your Majesty the Immortality Elixir, allowing Your Majesty to rule the world forever.”
Xu Fu raised his voice again.
Based on his understanding of Ying Zheng, on Ying Zheng’s prior obsession with immortality, Xu Fu was certain that Ying Zheng absolutely could not give up this Immortality Elixir.
“Is that so?”
Ying Zheng finally spoke, but his tone was still calm and indifferent.
“O… of course.”
Hearing Ying Zheng’s tone, Xu Fu also felt somewhat uneasy.
“In that case.”
“This Spiritual Medicine that extends Life by a hundred years—I shall bestow it upon you.”
“Right now, you will take it for Us.”
Ying Zheng’s gaze sharpened, landing on Xu Fu.
Hearing this.
Xu Fu’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, this is the Spiritual Medicine your subject begged from the Immortal to present to Your Majesty; how would your subject dare to take it?”
“Since there is already an Immortality Elixir, of what use is a mere hundred years’ extension of Life to Us?” Ying Zheng smiled faintly, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
“Th… this…”
At this moment Xu Fu’s scalp tingled with anxiety; this situation left him at a loss—this Spiritual Medicine that extends Life by a hundred years, Ying Zheng actually wanted to bestow it on him.
Obviously.
This so‑called extension of Life by a hundred years was nothing but a scam, just like those earlier Spirit Pills—poisonous, highly poisonous.
Only, after taking it, one would indeed feel incomparably comfortable, as if it truly were some Immortal Pill or Spiritual Medicine; but once actually ingested, after a year or so, the poison would inevitably flare up.
Shenzhou’s Qi Fortune was converging.
Qin was condensing its National Fortune.
The Heavenly Mechanism was obscure and unclear; even the Immortals and Gods in heaven had failed to divine it.
Therefore,
the Immortal Envoy on the so‑called Penglai Immortal Island received an imperial decree from the heavens: this King of Qin who had unified Shenzhou must die early.
Xu Fu naturally acted under orders.
Of course.
The so‑called Immortality Elixir was also fake; it was merely a scheme to swindle ten thousand boys and girls.
“Your Majesty.”
“The Immortality Elixir is far away in Penglai. After your subject leads the boys and girls to request an audience with the Immortal, the round trip will take several years; the time is too long.”
“If Your Majesty takes this Spiritual Medicine that extends Life by a hundred years, it will be enough to keep all illnesses at bay and make the body comfortable. When the time comes and Your Majesty then takes the Immortality Elixir, you will surely gain immeasurably.” Xu Fu said with a face full of respect.
However.
