Ji Xiao was a little curious. What kind of pill did Qin Shihuang want to concoct?
To learn alchemy, he did not hesitate to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty's small imperial kitchen to do odd jobs.
However, it was fine for people to come to the imperial kitchen occasionally, but it was impossible for someone to stay here all the time. It would affect his check-in and cultivation.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao shook his head." No, I don't. Are you tired of being a guard? Do you want to change your job?"”
" I was thinking of learning a few dishes from you when I have nothing to do," Ying Zheng said with a smile." I'll cook for my mother when I get home."”
"Then when you come to me, you can learn at any time."”
Ying Zheng received this promise from him. Although it was not the best result, his eyes were still shining brightly, and he was very happy.
"Brother Xiao, we have a deal, it's a deal!”
"Deal."
Ying Zheng's mind was filled with the thought of concocting the Provenance Saint Emperor-to-be Pill. Therefore, after drinking a few more cups of Drunken Immortal Vinegar, he hurriedly bid farewell to Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao knew that he was going back to concoct pills, so he didn't ask him to stay.
After walking out of the imperial kitchen and keeping a little distance away from it, Ying Zheng directly took out a black dragon-shaped jade pendant and crushed it.
A large amount of black light appeared and engulfed him.
In the blink of an eye, Ying Zheng had returned to Xianyang Palace.
His figure blurred and he turned back into a middle-aged man in his forties with a dignified face.
Ying Zheng knew that once his lifespan reached one thousand and five hundred years old, even the image of a middle-aged man would be difficult to maintain, and he would turn into a white-haired old man.
Just as he was about to go to the alchemy room, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him and someone stopped him.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and took a look. A fierce look flashed across his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and said blandly,"
"Minister Lu, why are you looking for me?”
" Your Majesty," Lu Buwei smiled sinisterly." You left Xianyang Palace for an hour just now. Where did you go?"”
" What am I going to do?" Ying Zheng's voice turned cold." Do I need to report to you?"”
Lu Buwei hurriedly cupped his hands." I wouldn't dare. I just want to remind Your Majesty that the war is urgent. Please take care of the government affairs."”
After a pause, he said," Young Master Huhai has made great progress recently. If Your Majesty feels that there are too many memorials, you can let him share some of them."”
" How dare you!" Ying Zheng glared at him.
Lu Buwei cupped his hands again and said with a sinister smile,""I misspoke. I will take my leave."
Looking at Lu Buwei's back, Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a strong killing intent.
Ever since Lu Buwei became the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty three hundred years ago, he had been working hard for the country and the people.
But in recent years, he suddenly started to support Young Master Huhai.
The throne of the Great Qin Empire was supposed to be passed on to the Crown Prince, Fusu. After Lu Buwei's ruckus, the entire court was thrown into chaos.
Not only was Lu Buwei the Prime Minister, but he also had the cultivation base of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Saint Realm. He was one of the top experts in the world.
Originally, when the Great Tang Empire was about to launch the war of national annihilation, Ying Zheng needed to rely on his strength to resist Emperor-to-be Li Yuan.
Therefore, she did not make a move on him for a long time.
But now, everything was different.
With the appearance of that mysterious expert from the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ying Zheng no longer needed to rely on Lu Buwei's power.
Judging from Ying Zheng's eyes, with the strength of that mysterious expert, even Emperor-to-be Li Yuan, who had condensed the will of the Emperor, might not be his match!
"How should I think of a way to kill Lu Buwei without bloodshed?”
Ying Zheng's eyes shone with a cold light, and the majesty of an emperor was fully displayed. It was a completely different person from the smiling face he had when he had turned into a chubby boy.
After all, Lu Buwei was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Venerable. If he were to fight to the death with him, he would be heavily injured even if he won.
"Now that the Qin army has been moved to the border, there is no way for Baiqi or General Meng Tian to set up a formation to trap and kill him.”
"Poison? Lu Buwei's cautiousness isn't inferior to mine…"
Slowly pondering, Ying Zheng walked towards the alchemy room step by step.
Only after entering the alchemy room did Ying Zheng cast away all other thoughts, and a fanatical look appeared on his face.
In order to pursue immortality, he had sacrificed a lot, and now, with the guidance of Ji Xiao, a peerless genius, Ying Zheng felt that he was about to succeed.
"If I can become a quasi-emperor, not only will I be able to take a step toward immortality, I can also kill Lu Buwei with a flip of my hand.”
"Moreover, even the crisis of the Great Qin Empire in this war can be resolved in an instant…"
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he could not help but feel excited. He was looking forward to the next step of refining pills.
He first took out the white crystal and stuck it to his forehead. He watched Ji Xiao's method of kneading the beef meatballs no less than a hundred times.
Then, he took out the pill cauldron.
With a wave of his hand, a large pile of plants and vegetation appeared on the ground.
Qin Shi Huang used his essence force to extract a strand of Blue Sea Heavenly Tree and threw it into the pill cauldron to refine it, beginning to extract the juice.
Six hours later.
Qin Shi Huang was so excited that his entire body was trembling slightly. His heart could not stop thumping!
He used the pill refining technique he learned from Ji Xiao and actually smoothly passed the first 99 steps of refining the Provenance Saint Quasi-Emperor Pill.
He was only missing the last step, which was to throw the " North Pole Mystic Crystal " into the cauldron to cool it down. Then, he would be able to successfully refine it!
His heart was about to jump out of his chest. He suppressed his excitement and threw a fist-sized ice-blue crystal into the cauldron.
The cauldron shook violently, and a toot sound came from inside.
Not good!
Qin Shihuang's expression changed drastically. This was a sign of imminent failure!
With a muffled bang, a thick black smoke floated out of the cauldron.
Seeing this, the smile on Qin Shi Huang's face disappeared and he let out a long sigh.
He took out a large pile of grass and wood materials and prepared to start the second refinement.
However, he discovered that the thick black smoke produced by the failure of the pill refinement actually strangely passed through the copper walls of the pill refinement room!
However, he didn't have the time to care. He continued to throw the plants into the cauldron.
……
After the black smoke passed through the wall, it did not spread out. Instead, it continued to float forward slowly.
A palace maid happened to pass by and accidentally smelled a little black smoke. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and a strong nausea rose in her stomach. She actually began to vomit.
As the black smoke drifted, hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in Xianyang Palace, and even some guards, were persecuted!
For a moment, the Xianyang Palace was filled with the sound of vomiting.
The black smoke did not stop. It continued to float, floating, floating, floating out of the Imperial Palace, floating into the Prime Minister's residence.
Lu Buwei was reading a military book with great interest, oblivious to the black smoke.
Lu Buwei only noticed it when the black smoke reached his nose.
In his shock, he accidentally sucked in all of the black smoke!
