The scenery of the manor was beautiful. The breeze blew and the lotus flowers swayed by the lake.
However, at this moment, the dozens of necromancers kneeling by the lake seemed to have fallen into the abyss of hell. They were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Xu Fu!"
Ying Zheng's deep and majestic voice seemed to fall from the sky, shaking Xu Fu's entire body.
"I, I am here!"
Xu Fu's voice started to stutter. He felt his throat was very dry and his voice was a little hoarse. It was as if someone who had not spoken for a long time had suddenly spoken.
"Do you have anything else to say now?”
Ying Zheng's voice reached Xu Fu's ears again.
Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the others were all alchemists who belonged to the faction of summoning gods and impeaching ghosts. They were even more illusory than the so-called faction of Qi Refinement and guidance. They sought immortality through the affairs of ghosts and gods.
In short, I can communicate with some ghosts and gods and immortals. The First Emperor will give me money and I will find the elixir of immortality.
Both Xu Fu and Lu Sheng had already gone overseas to seek immortal medicine under Ying Zheng's investment, but they had only gained little. Everyone said that they would find it soon and needed to increase their investment.
Xu Fu even offered 3,000 boys and girls, as well as a hundred workers and a large number of soldiers to escort them. They would definitely be able to move the immortals and give them the Elixir of Immortality.
"I, I…"
After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Xu Fu was so frightened that he was thrown into a panic, unable to say anything for a long time.
"Looks like you have nothing to say.”
A disappointed look appeared on Ying Zheng's face. Previously, he trusted the necromancers of the Summon Gods and Impeachment Ghost Faction, represented by Xu Fu the most.
Fearing that his alchemy and Qi Refinement would be confirmed to be a lie, Ying Zheng still had a glimmer of hope for Xu Fu.
After all, Mr. Li had a true inheritance, and he had also described the power of divine powers and immortal techniques. Didn't that mean that there were really immortals in the world?
Xu Fu and the others were also looking for immortals. Could it be that they had really received a revelation from an immortal?
But now, it seemed that the alchemists of Xu Fu's faction were also swindlers.
He had recruited so many necromancers, but none of them were as capable as Li Jing.
"What about you guys? What do you have to say?"
Ying Zheng looked at the remaining necromancers, and his voice gradually turned cold.
"Your Majesty, we did act according to the ancient books. There must be an immortal living in the immortal mountain in this world. There must be an immortal pill in this world. We failed to help Your Majesty obtain the immortal pill.”
Finally, at this moment, Xu Fu came back to his senses. Hearing the change in Ying Zheng's tone, he was greatly shocked and hurriedly said in a loud voice.
The saying that there were immortal mountains and immortals in this world had been passed down since the Warring States Period and was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Therefore, Xu Fu's words were not a lie.
But of course, after searching for so many years, Xu Fu had never found him. He knew that Ying Zheng would punish him sooner or later, so Xu Fu had already thought of running away.
However, he had never told anyone about this. He had always served the First Emperor conscientiously.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"We definitely have no selfish motives, and we're not lying to Your Majesty!”
" Your Majesty has cultivated 'Qi'. Isn't it a good proof that the mysterious power that surpasses ordinary people does exist? Immortals and elixirs of immortality do exist!”
After hearing Xu Fu's words, Lu Sheng and the other necromancers who were kneeling on the ground immediately became excited.
That's right! The necromancers who were beheaded in the past were either harming the First Emperor or cultivating fake techniques to deceive him. We are all looking for the elixir of immortality according to the ancient books.
There must be ghosts and gods in the world, as well as immortals. Otherwise, how could His Majesty have cultivated "Qi"?
Just now, everyone had seen Necromancer Han Zhong's shocked and incredulous expression. No matter what, the First Emperor did seem to have come up with something real.
"Perhaps we haven't succeeded all these years because we haven't found the right direction. There really are ghosts, gods, and immortals in this world!”
As he spoke, the remaining necromancers could not help but believe what they had said.
But of course, Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the others who claimed that they had received a revelation from a ghost or an immortal were just bullshitting.
However, the necromancer's original intention was indeed to believe in ghosts, gods, and immortals. It was just that he had not seen them for a long time, and he had not come into contact with any extraordinary power. Therefore, in order to answer Ying Zheng's inquiry, he naturally had to lie.
He couldn't possibly tell Ying Zheng that he had gained nothing all these years, that he had seen nothing, right?
There was no need to wait until now. By the time he said those words, his head would have long been exiled to God knows where.
Hearing Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the others 'words, Ying Zheng could not help but frown.
"Men, detain all of them and await your orders!”
After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng decided to go and talk to Mister Li, and then deal with Xu Fu, Lu Sheng, and the others according to the situation.
Hearing Ying Zheng's order to not behead them, the remaining necromancers instantly relaxed as if their bones and muscles had been pulled out.
"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead!"
Lu Sheng muttered in his mind.
He could only pray that Hou Sheng didn't tell him about the disgraceful words he had said in their private conversation. Otherwise, he would still die.
"Your Majesty must have encountered something in Pei County. Could it be that the rumors about Immortal Li in Pei County are true? Did Your Majesty really meet an immortal?"
Xu Fu, who had pulled his life back from a life and death situation, had many thoughts in his mind.
Not long after, the remaining dozen necromancers were all taken into custody.
While Ying Zheng was dealing with the necromancers, the scene on the Hidden Immortal Peak was very different.
There was an endless stream of people carrying gifts up the mountain. All the gentry wanted to meet Li Jing, the alchemist.
