Chapter 38: A skill essential for a tyrant: obsession with alchemy



Hearing this, Wei Yunyi turned his head and was immediately stunned.

Because at the location the other party pointed at...

There are martial arts secrets as big as an entire bookshelf.

A preliminary estimate would be at least hundreds of books...

"Ah, this..."

Weiyun was a little confused. There were really too many.

Not to mention practicing, it would probably take several years even just to watch.

Immediately, he turned around and said, "Uncle Wang, if I start practicing these martial arts secrets from now on, how long will it take me to reach your level of cultivation?"

"Your Majesty, I have been observing for three years and practicing for over thirty years to achieve my current level of cultivation."

Wei Wuxuan naturally did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.

Even someone as talented as Uncle Wang would need thirty years.

Wait until I have accomplished something.

I’m afraid it will get cold too soon.

Wei Yunyi didn't want to say anything, but he still wanted to struggle, so he couldn't help but say, "Uncle Wang, is there no quick way? For example, some kind of martial arts secret manual that can make me a peerless master in a few years."

"No." Wei Wuxuan shook his head and continued, "Your Majesty, practicing martial arts is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"Even if one has great talent, one still needs to study and practice diligently day and night. As for the quick fix you mentioned..."

"Becoming a peerless master in just a few years... given your qualifications... is basically impossible."

It hurts again.

Wei Yunyi sighed.

At any other time, a little more effort wouldn't hurt.

But the current situation is that the immortal is getting closer and closer to the world, and time waits for no one.

Is it that we can only think of other ways?

"But Your Majesty." At this time, Wei Wuxuan thought for a moment and continued, "There is a method that can allow you to achieve success in martial arts in a short period of time, and it is relatively simple."

"What method?" Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi's eyes lit up immediately.

He liked this method very much because it allowed him to achieve success in martial arts in a short period of time and it was very simple.

"Take the elixir!" King Wu said, "A good elixir can save you years, even decades, of hard training."

"This..." Wei Yunyi was speechless and continued, "I know what Uncle Wang said. But elixirs are so difficult to obtain, especially the most important recipe. I bet the Wu Pavilion doesn't even have it, right?"

In fact, as early as yesterday, he had considered taking pills to improve his martial arts skills.

But the problem is that refining pills is extremely difficult.

Although he is the emperor of Wei.

There are as many materials as needed to refine the elixir.

But there is no recipe for the elixir. With so many herbs, who knows which one can be used to make an elixir that can improve one's cultivation?

You must know that even when you are sick, you need to take the right medicine. Without the prescription, even if you have the medicine, it will be useless.

This kind of pill recipe is usually only collected by those hidden sects.

I just want to find those sects.

It is undoubtedly very difficult.

The most important thing is that Wei Yunyi is very clear that the so-called hidden sect has a close relationship with the immortals.

Even if he knew where it was, he would not provoke it for the time being.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Wu Pavilion just happens to have a recipe for the elixir."

Wei Wuxuan smiled, then turned and walked to the corner.

He pulled out a gilded booklet and continued, "In the past, Emperor Gaozong Zhao also enjoyed practicing martial arts, but due to his lack of talent, he made no progress. It wasn't until he accidentally obtained a recipe for an elixir that his cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds. After Emperor Gaozong passed away, the recipe was stored in the Martial Pavilion."

Emperor Gaozong Zhao, isn’t that his grandfather?

Yes.

Wei Yunyi suddenly thought of it.

The original novel does describe that Emperor Gaozong liked to make elixirs.

Immediately, he took the booklet without hesitation and saw two words written on it: Danjie.

I opened it and took a look.

Sure enough, it was densely packed with recipes for various elixirs that could improve one's cultivation.

Not only that, there are also methods and details for refining, which can almost be regarded as teaching people how to make elixirs step by step.

The more Wei Yunyi looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. He couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay! Uncle Wang, if that's the case, I'll take this recipe back."

With this thing, are you still worried about not being able to improve your martial arts skills?

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Wei Wuxuan immediately reminded the other party when he saw how excited he was.

"Your Majesty, you should exercise some restraint when it comes to alchemy. Emperor Gaozong Zhao was reprimanded by his civil and military ministers for refining elixirs, and he eventually gained a bad reputation."

"Besides, as the saying goes, every medicine has its side effects. Furthermore, when practicing martial arts, relying solely on external forces will only achieve limited results."

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to indulge in this. Otherwise, even if I die a thousand times, I will still be blamed."

To be honest, Wei Wuxuan is very regretful now.

As a minister, how could I suggest to the emperor to make elixirs?

But it's not easy to ask for it back now, so I can only bite the bullet and persuade...

Just his words.

But it made Wei Yunyi even more excited.

Yes, being obsessed with alchemy is a necessary skill for a tyrant!

Not to mention the history books of the previous life, even in this life.

Are there many emperors whose dynasties collapsed and their luck faded because of such things?

At this moment, Wei Yunyi was completely certain that indulging in alchemy was definitely what he needed most right now.

Not only can it improve your martial arts skills, but it also adds to the tyrant value gained by ruining your luck...

By taking these two approaches at the same time, will you still be afraid of not being able to deal with the immortal?

Never thought.

I came to Wu Pavilion and gained so much!

Good! Good! Good!

For some reason, Wei Yunyi felt more favorable towards Uncle Wang in front of him. He thought that he should visit Uncle Wang more often in the future. Maybe he could give him some more advice!
