early morning.
The first thing Li Ming did upon waking up was to check the dragon-patterned wooden plaque at his waist.
The number displayed above is "1", which means that Zhu Yuanzhang will have to leave in one hour. However, he should have taken the elixir with him by now.
Last night, he saw the black dog lead Zhu Yuanzhang to the medicinal herb field, and then the black dog ran back, which made him guess what had happened.
Although he didn't instruct the black dog to do this, he still secretly gave the black dog a thumbs up.
He was still hesitating yesterday about whether to help Zhu Yuanzhang save his son Zhu Biao, fearing that his actions would influence the course of history.
If Zhu Biao hadn't died, would Zhu Di have dared to rebel?
When I saw what the black dog did, I understood.
Get up and go to Zhu Yuanzhang's room.
They did not find Zhu Yuanzhang in the room.
Li Ming frowned: "No way, could he still be in the herb field and hasn't come back yet?"
Could it be that he fell in the medicinal herb field?
That's actually quite possible.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was already over sixty years old.
Li Ming was a little worried. When he went to the medicinal herb field, he saw a hunched back. The back looked very old, like an old man who was terminally ill.
He reached out, his hand only an inch away from the medicinal herb, wanting to pull it out but not quite.
Li Ming noticed drops of water falling onto the medicinal herb.
Where did the water droplets come from?
Those must be the tears of an old man.
He was secretly shedding tears.
Looking at his back, Li Ming didn't know what to say for a moment. Although the other party was the emperor, he was now just a father, a father who hoped that his son would live well.
Li Ming saw more and more teardrops on the elixir.
Finally, the old man held his head in his hands, sat on the ground, and sobbed.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered this all night, but by dawn he still couldn't bring himself to take it without asking, as it contradicted the laws he had established regarding theft.
The miraculous medicine that could save her son was right in front of her.
He held his head in his hands, pondering what to do, when the sound of a dog barking rang out beside him.
"When did this dog arrive? It's such a nuisance," Li Ming thought to himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, turned around and saw Li Ming. He immediately ran over, grabbed Li Ming's hand, and said:
"Please, immortal, save our son! We'll give anything in exchange."
Seeing the old man's behavior, Li Ming couldn't bear it and said, "There's no need to exchange."
He didn't need anything from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang, however, thought that Li Ming was unwilling to take action, so he quickly grabbed Li Ming's hand and said:
"Please, immortal, save our prince! I am willing to give up everything I have in exchange."
As long as Zhu Biao's life can be saved.
“Old man, there’s no need for that.” Li Ming helped him up and picked the medicinal herb from the ground, handing it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Immortal, this...this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited and carefully held the elixir bestowed upon him by the immortal.
This is a life-saving medicine for my son.
"Thank you, immortal, for your blessing. You are our benefactor."
Zhu Yuanzhang searched his body, trying to give Li Ming his token, but after searching for a long time, he found that he had nothing on him.
He felt a little embarrassed; he was completely naked except for his clothes, and he couldn't very well leave them behind.
"I told you there's no need to exchange, this is for you, just take it."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang still felt somewhat apologetic, Li Ming immediately said, "When I have time, I will go to the Ming Dynasty. Just remember to treat me well then."
"If an immortal were to come to the Ming Dynasty, we would personally show him the splendor of the Ming Dynasty."
"Okay, it's a deal."
In fact, Li Ming's excuse was just that, because he couldn't leave Yunmeng Sect. Even if he could get out, the outside world might not be the Ming Dynasty.
However, Li Ming could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang was not just being polite; he was genuinely inviting him.
Just as Li Ming was stunned, the time on the dragon-patterned wooden plaque at his waist had already reached zero, and Zhu Yuanzhang had vanished into thin air, because he had disappeared from this space-time.
...
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if time and space had changed, and he reappeared in the corridor, holding a miraculous herb that was shrouded in white mist.
Then I heard a lot of noise coming from the next corridor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"How could His Majesty have vanished into thin air? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"If you utter such nonsense again, your entire family will be executed!"
"We're here!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, many of his subjects rushed over and saw that His Majesty was holding a herb that was radiating a strange luster.
"Someone, brew this into a medicinal soup and send it to the Crown Prince's palace."
Not long after, an unbelievable account was added to the history books:
On the day of Bingzi in the third month of summer in the twenty-fifth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty encountered an immortal who bestowed upon him a miraculous medicine, thus saving the life of his crown prince, Zhu Biao.
...
Just after Zhu Yuanzhang left, Li Ming heard a sound coming from the withered tree in the aerial pavilion, as if something was piercing through it.
Li Mingfei went over to take a look.
They discovered that the dead tree had sprouted green shoots, two of them, one of which had just sprouted and the other had clearly been growing for a long time.
"This tree has actually come back to life."
Li Ming found it unbelievable.
I was about to observe further when suddenly, the dragon-patterned wooden plaque at my waist reacted; the "0" on it disappeared and was replaced by other characters.
"Reward: 10 levels of the Qi Refining Technique"
After the writing appeared, a mysterious power surged from the dragon-patterned wooden plaque, flowing directly from his head through his entire body.
Instantly, light radiated in all directions, and strange phenomena occurred one after another.
A colossal phantom appeared behind them, stretching across the heavens and earth.
Li Ming felt the power of the Qi Refining Technique within his body continuously accumulating. Originally, it was 36 layers, but in an instant, it became 46 layers.
