After such a preparation, Guo Peng finally took out the so-called elixir of immortality that he had prepared.
Of course, he definitely didn't have any elixir of immortality. The real name of this item was Five Stones Powder!
This medicine was very popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Almost everyone in the upper class took this medicine, including the famous Wang Xizhi.
In short, this was something that would make people excited after taking it. It was addictive and had great harm to the body, similar to drugs.
Through his lies, Ying Zheng would definitely have the illusion of immortality after taking it because of the temporary excitement.
And the weakness he felt after stopping the drug would be mistaken for a sign of accelerated aging because of his lies.
Therefore, the medicine would continue to be taken like this.
Even the moment before death, as long as he was not dead, his lie would not be exposed.
When taking it, the excitement from the medicinal effect would ignore all the negative effects.
As for whether he could truly live forever?
That would take time to test!
If he wanted to know if he could live for a hundred years, he had to wait for a hundred years first!
After presenting the concocted Five Stones Powder, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, looked at the unknown powder in front of him.
After all, he had been harmed too many times, and had developed a persecutory delusion. Even though he knew that the possibility of it happening was very small, Ying Zheng did not dare to take it easily.
However, he did not show his hesitation.
When he picked up the medicine, the old eunuch standing beside him immediately volunteered to come forward.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
"Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold and cannot tolerate any mishaps. Why don't you let this old servant test the medicine first?”
Ying Zheng looked at the medicine in his hand, then at the old eunuch with a determined face. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking.
"Correct!"
Thus, the old eunuch took the Five Stones Powder and swallowed it with an excited expression.
The Elixir of Immortality!
If it's true, His Majesty will definitely treat me well with this contribution!
Although once the medicine was stopped, it would accelerate aging.
However, on account of my many years of loyalty, His Majesty has mercy on me. It shouldn't be a problem for me to live to a hundred years old, right?
A hundred years was long enough.
The old eunuch's thoughts were very simple.
Guo Peng secretly observed the old eunuch.
Fortunately, his body was still strong, so he should not die from excitement.
Otherwise, he would definitely stop them and try to get Ying Zheng to change to someone else to test the medicine.
After all, if a good person suddenly died after taking the medicine, Guo Peng would not be able to escape the blame no matter the reason.
That would really be troublesome. If he did not do well, he might even have to pay for his life!
However, if he could survive today, it would have nothing to do with him.
After all, he had already made it clear.
Taking the longevity medicine could only guarantee that a person would not die of natural causes, but it did not mean that they would not die.
Moreover, the longer he used the longevity medicine, the lesser he would use it.
If Ying Zheng really wanted to live for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, the amount of medicine he needed would naturally be enormous.
In order to live longer, he would never be willing to give it to others easily.
"How is it? How does it feel?"
At this moment, Ying Zheng's face was filled with eagerness as he stared at the old eunuch's reaction.
After all, the longevity that he had dreamed of for many years was right in front of him.
If it wasn't this time, he really didn't know if there was true immortality in this world.
"It feels great, Your Majesty. I feel like I've become ten years younger!”
After taking the Five Stones Powder, under the effect of the medicine, the old eunuch's face was flushed red, and his blood flowed faster, giving him the illusion that his body was as light as a swallow.
Seeing this result, Ying Zheng did not hesitate any longer. He took the Five Stones Powder and swallowed it bit by bit.
"This feeling…"
"I can't believe it!"
The moment he took it, Ying Zheng felt that all his fatigue and pain had disappeared in an instant.
It had been a long time since he had been in such a state.
It was as if he had really become ten years younger!
This longevity medicine must be real!
"Hahahahaha!"
Ying Zheng let out a maniacal laugh. Because of the heat, his black dragon robe was half-opened, fluttering in the wind.
He had the demeanor of a famous immortal cultivator in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Seeing this scene, Guo Peng was finally relieved.
I'll be relieved after you eat it.
After all, this thing was addictive.
After eating it, it would be very difficult to put it down.
He could also rest easy from now on.
After the effects of the medicine had worn off a little, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, looking at Guo Peng, who was standing below him, and hesitated.
Because he didn't know what kind of reward he should give Guo Peng.
The first two treasures were already enough to make him happy, not to mention the third treasure was the elixir of longevity that countless people dreamed of!
The value of the medicine of longevity could not be measured by any fame or fortune.
After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked Guo Peng what kind of reward he wanted.
And what surprised the palace servants was that the moment he opened his mouth, he was able to choose any official position below the nine ministers!
Below the nine ministers!
How could an ordinary person with no background information be ranked below the nine ministers in one step?
Although he wasn't one of the nine ministers, this official position was really high enough to scare people to death.
One had to know, how many people were there in total?
One could imagine how much shock Ying Zheng had given them when he said that he could choose anyone below the nine ministers.
What shocked them even more was that Guo Peng cupped his hands and said without hesitation,"Your Majesty, please retract your order. How can this commoner be ranked below the nine ministers? If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, you might as well give me more land and beauties so that my descendants can live comfortably.”
Ying Zheng suddenly burst into laughter. Although he was stunned, he was surprised to find that there was such a person in the world who would not even give up the opportunity to rise to the heavens in a single step?
After all, with a high official's salary, he could have as many fields and beauties as he wanted.
However, to him, the more people like this, the better.
"You, ah, you are too honest. I am rich in the four seas. What is a mere field and beauty?”
Then, as if he had made up his mind, Ying Zheng said loudly,""Pass down the decree!"
The eunuchs immediately went forward to listen to the order!
After Ying Zheng dictated it and the eunuch wrote it down and edited it, a fresh imperial edict was soon produced.
The general idea was that Guo Peng, who had returned from overseas, had contributed a world map and paper-making skills. In addition, under the emperor's personal inspection, his character and talent were first-class. The emperor was very happy, so he was granted the title of Chang Shilang, with a rank of 2,000 stones, the same as the nine ministers, a thousand gold, ten beautiful women, a mansion, and a number of other treasures.
