Chapter 185 Turning Point

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression softened slightly, and his previously terrible mood improved considerably.

Although he knew that history could not be changed, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it, and he originally thought that this time would be the same.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, which was undoubtedly the best news for him.

"So, from now on, everything I do will not affect the world in the future, is that right?"

"Yes! Because from now on, this place will become a new world, everything from now on will be a completely new beginning, and history will cease to exist. Your Majesty still has time to stop all of this from happening!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others nodded in agreement. In their future world, history had already unfolded and could not be changed.

But this place is different. This place will become another small world. As long as the First Emperor changes now and does not continue to be cruel and inhumane in the later period, many things will not happen. The prosperous Qin Dynasty is not impossible!

"Excellent! You gentlemen are truly my lucky stars! I will never let such a thing happen again. As long as I am alive, I will ensure that the people of Qin live a better life and that Qin will last for thousands of generations!"

Upon hearing this news, Ying Zheng was initially happy. However, upon learning that those so-called longevity pills not only failed to grant immortality but would actually cause his premature death, he felt a deep sense of sorrow.

Especially after seeing historical records about how that rebellious son wreaked havoc on everyone during his reign, he wanted to kill him right now. Unfortunately, he was in Xianyang City, not here, otherwise he would definitely have killed him.

At the same time, he also regretted that he hadn't disciplined Fusu enough, letting him learn from the Confucian scholars and develop no independent thoughts.

As Ying Zheng spoke, he solemnly bowed to the group. After all, they had no reason to deceive him with such a thing; those who came from later generations were essentially his subjects as well.

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but you are quite famous in our later generations. After all, you are the only man in history to unify the six kingdoms. We all admire you greatly."

Originally, we planned to go directly to Xianyang, but knowing that His Majesty is performing the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai and may not return for some time, we came here to see him.

"Why don't you come in, Your Majesty, and we can go upstairs for a proper chat? I'm sure Your Majesty is also curious about what happened in the future, so I can tell you all about it in detail," Gu Xinyan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. He did indeed want to know more about the future and what kind of prosperity it had become.

So without a second thought, he nodded in agreement and then gave instructions to Meng Yi beside him.

"Meng Yi, make arrangements for the ministers and scholars. Do not disturb our distinguished guests. We will discuss everything after I come down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi nodded in agreement and then led his men to remove everyone from the store.

His feelings were actually quite complicated, especially after learning that he had an older brother who didn't have many years left to live.

He was also shocked by the actions of Zhao Gao and Li Si, but now was not the time to figure them out. He needed to keep an eye on these people so as not to disturb the distinguished guests.

The previously silent crowd, upon hearing the First Emperor's words, obediently left the shop, none daring to utter a sound.

After all, no one present was stupid. If they angered His Majesty, they would probably lose their heads. So no matter how curious they were, they had to keep it to themselves and wait until later.

Seeing that everyone had left the store, Gu Xinyan did not stop them. After all, the store was equipped with safety devices, and Xiaobai was watching over things, so nothing would happen.

However, when he saw that the First Emperor was asking them to leave, he understood his intention, so he didn't say anything, but instead led the First Emperor upstairs.

There has always been a reception room on the second floor, which is quite nice for entertaining people. Otherwise, when discussing business downstairs, there would always be a lot of people watching, which is not very convenient.

Completely unprepared, Ying Zheng froze the moment he stepped onto the second floor. What was he seeing?

What is this big thing? It looks so strange, but it's also incredibly cool.

Are there really such large beasts in the world? And those medicinal herbs are also different from anything he has ever seen before; not only are they huge, but they also look exceptionally good.

Everything on the second floor dazzled him; each area had its own style, and he felt like he couldn't take it all in.

This shocking scene left him speechless.

"Your Majesty, the items displayed on this second floor are from various dimensions. However, our shop does not currently sell these items; they can only be purchased during the trade fair."

However, Your Majesty is quite fortunate. This trade fair is in just one month, which coincides with our two-month stay in Xianyang City. Therefore, Your Majesty will be able to attend the trade fair in a month.

"At that time, Your Majesty will be able to meet people from different dimensions. The trade fair will last for three days, and there will even be cultivation dimensions within it. Your Majesty can trade with them for many elixirs, which are far more useful than Your Majesty's longevity pills."

Gu Xinyan saw that the First Emperor was staring intently at the exhibits, and she knew that he was shocked.

After all, what's displayed on the second floor are no ordinary items; any one of them could be considered a family heirloom.

Listening to these words, even after arriving at the reception room, Ying Zheng's mind was still in a state of wandering.

But upon hearing about elixirs, and specifically elixirs from the cultivation world—could they be the elixir of immortality? This thought excited him, and he hurriedly asked:

"Could this elixir be an elixir of immortality? Cultivating immortality? Does it mean becoming an immortal?"

Gu Xinyan and the others were speechless upon hearing this.

Well, our ancestors are still the same old ancestors, with an extraordinary obsession with immortality.

"Your Majesty, this is not an elixir of immortality, and cultivating immortality does not mean becoming an immortal. However, this understanding is not wrong. Although cultivating immortality cannot grant eternal life, one's lifespan will naturally increase as one's cultivation level increases."

However, the path of cultivation is not so simple. Once you embark on this path, it is fraught with bloodshed and danger, and your life is constantly hanging by a thread. Each tribulation involves experiencing a lightning tribulation, but each successful tribulation increases your lifespan.
