"Haha, good! Good! Good!"
Ying Zheng cried out three times in a row. One could imagine how happy he was at this moment.
Of course, it was not difficult for him to guess that this paper was definitely the best substitute for the bamboo slips. However, he did not know how much it cost.
However, as long as it did not exceed the bamboo slips by too much, it was acceptable to him.
However, he received a shocking answer from Guo Peng.
It wasn't that the cost of the paper was too high, but that the paper was too cheap!
This snow-white paper was actually made of cheap materials like tree bark, hemp, rags, and fishing nets!
"Is that true?" Ying Zheng asked again with uncertainty.
"How would I dare to deceive Your Majesty?"
After confirming that what he said was true, and knowing the function of the paper, Ying Zheng was naturally in a good mood.
Just as he was about to reward him, Guo Peng suddenly smiled and said,""Your Majesty, don't you want to know about the third treasure I'm going to offer?”
"There's a third treasure?" Ying Zheng had thought that the world map and the art of making paper were already amazing, and he was already very surprised. But now, there was actually a third treasure?
Guo Peng smiled lightly. The first two treasures were just appetizers and were not worth mentioning to him. The third treasure was the real highlight!
This time, Guo Peng didn't keep him in suspense. He said bluntly,"The third treasure is the Elixir of Immortality!”
"Longevity medicine?" Ying Zheng was greatly surprised.
Was there really such a thing?
He searched the world for many years, but he found nothing.
In fact, it was not that he did not know that the possibility of finding it was very small. After all, since ancient times, there had been countless emperors, generals, and ministers, and capable people who had been searching for it painstakingly. However, he had never heard of anyone who could live forever.
However, immortality!
The more powerful a person was, the more he didn't want to die because he could never enjoy enough!
Therefore, even if there was only one in ten thousand hope, he would choose to believe it.
Looking at Qin Shihuang's reaction, Guo Peng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
The Qin Emperor was famous for his longevity. If he didn't use this to deceive you, who else would he deceive?
However, pretending to be a charlatan was too dangerous. Not everyone could fool Ying Zheng like Xu Fu.
For this reason, he spent three years refining and repairing it, weaving a perfect set of lies.
This was also the reason why he dared to enter the Qin Palace alone.
Next, Guo Peng slowly told the lie that he had made up for Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.
It probably meant that…
In his early years, he followed his master to another continent on the other side of the ocean and accidentally entered a tribe.
At that time, this place was holding a national competition that was held once every three years. At first, they were just watching the fun, but later they found out.
The clansmen of this tribe actually used such a method of survival of the fittest. Every year, the last batch of people in the competition would be forcefully expelled and left to fend for themselves in the mountains.
"Why is there such a strange rule?”Because Guo Peng's explanation was too vivid, Ying Zheng could not help but ask.
"This was also what Master and I thought at the time, but we later found out why.”
Guo Peng said.
This was because this tribe had a miraculous medicine that could grant longevity and immortality.
As long as one ate this Elixir of Immortality, one would never age and would forever remain young.
Although they would get sick and be killed, in a sense, this could be considered true longevity.
However, this medicine had a huge limitation. It had to be taken continuously. Once the medicine was stopped, the person would age and die even faster.
The longer one took it, the faster one would age and die once they stopped taking the medicine.
" At that time, my master and I followed one of the exiles. That person clearly looked like a young man, but he said that he had lived for more than 800 years. It was through our conversation that we learned about the secrets of this country. Later, he asked us to help him find the ingredients to make the longevity medicine. However, all the ingredients to make the longevity medicine in the thousands of kilometers around had been collected by the tribe members. Only true tribe members could consume them. We searched for seven days and found nothing."We watched as that person aged day by day. On the sixth day, his hair was all white. On the seventh day, he couldn't even walk. That night, that person died of old age.”
……
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, and several palace servants were listening to the story from the side, completely enthralled.
There was actually such a place!
However, since that was the case, it was clear that the national competition would be held every year and the survival of the fittest would be eliminated.
After all, if everyone could live forever, there would be people born every year, but fewer people would die. The population would definitely snowball.
In the end, no matter how much longevity medicine there was, it would not be enough for so many people to eat!
Therefore, it was not strange at all that such a system existed.
There was no doubt that Guo Peng's words made people feel that it was true. If it was the kind of immortality medicine that could grant eternal life, it would be truly unreasonable!
"Later, Master and I wandered around that continent for many years. At that time, Master was old, and he paid more attention to the ingredients for the longevity medicine. After spending several years, he finally managed to gather them, but Master fell seriously ill.
Although this longevity medicine could ensure that one would never age and would never die of natural causes, one would still die if they were injured or seriously ill.
How could there be true longevity in this world?
However, even so, this longevity medicine was precious enough. His Majesty was rich in the four seas. With a single order, the world would move. Naturally, there would never be a lack of materials to make this medicine. There were thousands of elite soldiers in Xianyang Palace who would always ensure the safety of His Majesty. Even if he accidentally fell sick, there would be famous doctors in the world to treat him.
All these limitations were not considered restrictions for His Majesty.
"Therefore, I am bold enough to offer this longevity medicine as the third treasure to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will be safe for thousands of years and live as long as the heavens. The Great Qin Empire will last forever and unify the five continents and four seas!”
……
One one gets five, two two gets six…Today, I have to do better. Let the storm come more violently. It seems that I'm just a little bit away from getting on the rankings.
