Chapter 186 Conversation
"Then...can I cultivate?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng blurted out without hesitation that this was the path to immortality he had been searching for, and he was not afraid of any danger whatsoever.
Having fought on the battlefield for so many years, he had become accustomed to living a life where his life was always at risk.
However, after conquering the six kingdoms, only the Xiongnu remained unconquered. Unexpectedly, he was unable to defeat the Xiongnu before his death, which frustrated him.
So when he heard that cultivating immortality could not only increase lifespan but also grant the power to move mountains and overturn seas, his heart began to stir with excitement.
He wasn't sure if he would have the chance, so he unconsciously became a little nervous as soon as he said it.
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what we wanted to tell you. Your Majesty has taken too many elixirs of immortality, but fortunately we arrived early, and Your Majesty's body is not yet severely depleted."
If you stop taking it now and instead take the Marrow Cleansing Pill to clear the toxins that have accumulated in your body over time, there is a great chance that you will be able to embark on the path of cultivation.
However, taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill will cause immense pain, so Your Majesty should be mentally prepared.
You must not faint while taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, otherwise the marrow cleansing will fail, and you will be completely cut off from cultivation. Therefore, Your Majesty can only rely on your own willpower to get through this.
Even if the marrow cleansing fails, the toxins in His Majesty's body will be expelled. As long as he doesn't indiscriminately take any unknown elixirs in the future, he can still live a long life and won't get sick so easily.
As Gu Xinyan spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her spatial backpack and placed it on the table in front of Ying Zheng.
The choice is up to him, but she thinks the ancestor will definitely choose the Marrow Cleansing Pill, since the temptation of immortality is too great, and it is his lifelong pursuit!
As she had expected, Ying Zheng reached out and picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table. It was tiny, and inside was a small pill.
It looks similar to the longevity pills he usually takes, yet there are some differences. Is this the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Ying Zheng was somewhat excited, holding it in his hand and looking at it from left to right, finally saying with a firm expression:
"I fear no pain. I have fought on the battlefield for so many years, what dangers haven't I encountered?"
"I have faced death many times, but I have never backed down. Therefore, I believe I can endure this agonizing process of marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening!"
"In that case, Your Majesty, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is yours for the taking. We are all waiting for you to unify the world. We hope that Your Majesty will strive to conquer all the surrounding small countries as soon as possible," Gu Xinyan replied.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Chendong eagerly chimed in:
"Yes, yes, especially that Xu Fu. We must bring him back. He didn't go to Penglai to seek the elixir of immortality for His Majesty; he went to declare himself king."
Moreover, Your Majesty, for a period of time in later generations, the island he occupied was subjected to plunder and pillage by mainland forces, resulting in the deaths of many of our people. Therefore, Your Majesty, you cannot let him off easily!
“Yes! That’s right, this Xu Fu is a troublemaker, we must not let him get away with it easily.” Gu Xinya nodded in agreement.
Gu Xinyan and the other two nodded in agreement. After all, there are some records in the history of Sakura Country that Xu Fu went to Penglai Island to seek the elixir of immortality.
After leading people there for the first time, they occupied the island and became kings. Later, they returned and took away a group of young boys and girls, as well as talents from various industries.
These people have all done him a favor, letting him live a very carefree life on the island. So this person can't be let off so easily, or there will be endless trouble later.
Ying Zheng was taken aback by their words. He had assumed Xu Fu had gone to sea to find the elixir of immortality for him, but it turned out he had been deceived.
Not only did they deceive him, but they deceived him more than once. In fact, it was their fault that that small island was able to develop.
It was his excessive pursuit of immortality that gave Xu Fu an opportunity. Since it was his own mistake, he should be the one to resolve it, and he nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, I won't let Xu Fu off so easily. After I've dealt with matters in the court, I'll set off to capture him! I'll definitely tear him apart with five horses."
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others were in a very good mood. They had solved the problem at its root and then occupied Sakura Island. They didn't believe that the other party would be able to cause trouble again.
It's so exciting to think about. Anyway, they'll be staying here for another two months. Once the First Emperor is done with his business, they'll take him with them to capture Xu Fu. Otherwise, they're afraid the First Emperor won't be able to find his way after he comes out.
And so, the group chatted for a long time in the meeting room, even having a casual lunch.
In particular, when they talked about the technology of later generations, people would travel by car, train, and airplane instead of oxcart or horse-drawn carriage, and communication would be very advanced, allowing people to contact each other by phone even if they were thousands of miles apart. This made Ying Zheng very excited.
This is completely different from his Qin Dynasty. I never knew that the later generations were so prosperous and flourishing!
He also spoke highly of the education and systems of later generations. After listening, he remained silent for a long time before finally exclaiming:
"So this is what the future is like. If my Qin Dynasty could be like this, why would I worry about a lack of talent, and why would the people live in peace and prosperity!"
"Your Majesty, that day will come. Not only will we have monthly communication and trading, but we will also have a multi-dimensional trading conference every six months. It will be difficult for the Qin Dynasty not to develop! So Your Majesty, the time of unifying the world and achieving prosperity is not far away!" Gu Xinyan replied with a smile.
"That's right, I believe that day is not far off!"
As Ying Zheng finished speaking, the group exchanged smiles.
Now that everything was settled, he felt much more at ease. Thinking about the Fengchan ceremony and the return to Xianyang City, he wondered how he would manage to bring such a large store with him, so he asked.
"Tomorrow is the Fengshan Ceremony. After it's over, we'll return to Xianyang City, but the journey will be quite long. Mr. Gu, are you traveling with me? This shop?"
"Your Majesty, after the Fengshan ceremony tomorrow, we can take you back by flying on a sword. However, the rest of the main force will have to hurry back. This shop can be put away, so you can just put it away when we leave!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was speechless.
