Taixu's eyes were dull, and he seemed like a blind man as he held a writing brush and drew complicated and obscure symbols on the sand table. Yu Qizhe watched Emperor Mingzheng staring at the sand table with a look of awe on his face, and felt that this scene was inexplicably ironic.
After half an incense stick of time, the writing brush in Taoist Taixu's hand suddenly stopped moving, as if he had exhausted all his energy. He shrugged his shoulders, closed his eyes, and sat on the cushion as if he had stopped breathing.
Emperor Mingzheng clasped his hands together and said cautiously, "Farewell, Immortal..."
After a moment, Taoist Taixu, who was sitting crookedly on the cushion, suddenly twitched and took a deep breath in a hurry. As if he had suddenly come back to life, his face turned pale and he began to cough rapidly.
Emperor Mingzheng looked nervous. He stood up and approached Taixu, impatiently asking, "Have you received the Immortal Oracle?"
Taixu took a long time to calm down, his face showing fatigue, and his voice became weak, "Your Majesty, don't panic. You are the Supreme Lord, the True Dragon Son of Heaven, and the Three Pure Ones will naturally bestow blessings upon you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingzheng heaved a sigh of relief and looked delighted. "What instructions does the Immortal Oracle have?"
Taixu looked down at the sand table and gestured with the writing brush in his hand. After a moment, his eyes sparkled, "Great good, the golden elixir that Your Majesty has been seeking can be achieved soon, but it requires the right time, the right place, and the right people. The medicine is the right people, and now the medicine is available. As for the time..." Taixu counted with his fingers for a moment, "Three months later, Kuimao Day. The right place must be in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
"So, in three months, my elixir of immortality will be ready?" Emperor Mingzheng was overjoyed. "Great! I will order Cheng Ying to go to Xianyang to build the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Regardless of the material and human resources, the Hall of Supreme Harmony must be completed in three months!"
After Emperor Mingzheng finished speaking, he called someone into the palace to summon Cheng Ying.
Taixu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Master Cheng has a strong bloody aura and should not enter the Incense Hall easily, so as not to offend the Three Pure Ones?"
Emperor Mingzheng came to his senses after being reminded by Taixu, and the joy on his face had not yet faded. "I was too happy for a moment, and forgot about this taboo. I will go back to the Yangxin Palace and summon Cheng Ying again, and order him to leave immediately for Xianyang to supervise the construction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
Taoist Taixu lit a few incense sticks and handed three to Emperor Mingzheng. Emperor Mingzheng took them and knelt before the statue of the Three Pure Ones with a pious look on his face. Taixu handed the remaining incense sticks to Yu Qizhe, "Since Yu Shidu has encountered the Three Pure Ones descending to the earth, I will also burn some incense to show my consideration."
Yu Qizhe took the incense and worshipped the statue like Emperor Mingzheng. After he stood up, his eyes fell on the sand table which looked like ghostly talismans. Taixu noticed it and smiled slightly, "Yu Shidu is interested in Fuqi?"
Yu Qizhe shook his head, "I am lucky to see the immortal today. Taoist Taixu's spirit writing technique really opened Zhan Xing's eyes. My mind was shaken and I couldn't help myself. How could an ordinary person like Zhan Xing understand the immortal's oracle? Taoist thinks highly of Zhan Xing."
Taoist Taixu waved his hand to smooth out the complicated symbols on the sand table, with a faint smile on his face, "Yu Shidu is too modest. Although Taixu has lived in Fengtianzhai for a long time and is ignorant of worldly affairs, he has heard of Yu Shidu's talent. He is a top six scorer in the imperial examination, a young talent, and should be a minister to assist the emperor. A wise ruler needs wise ministers. Our Taiyan's enlightened and prosperous era is just around the corner."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingzheng was delighted and laughed heartily, "I am very lucky to have the help of you two! My Taiyan Era of Prosperity will last for thousands of years!"
Taixu agreed with a smile, frowned and coughed, even his body was hunched over a bit, he said tiredly, "It is very harmful to use the writing board to ask the immortal to come to the mortal body, I will go down and rest first."
Emperor Mingzheng deeply agreed with this and hurriedly said, "Master, you have lost your life for me. When the golden elixir is perfected one day, I will not treat you unfairly!"
