Chapter 231: Land Gods
"I haven't even told you what the thing is, how do you know I have any intention?"
Wang Mang laughed and said, "Don't be so nervous, can I deceive you?"
"It is precisely because I trust Emperor Xia's character that I am certain that this item is extraordinary. It is natural for me to be the first to praise it."
Being exposed by Wang Mang, the few people were not embarrassed at all. What kind of grand scene had they not seen? Although they would never have the chance to encounter the real panacea in this life, they had already tasted all kinds of rare treasures in the world. They were all people who enjoyed the most luxurious life.
How could such a small thing impress them? It was nothing more than giving them face.
Wang Mang naturally saw that the others didn't agree, but he didn't explain any more and said directly: "In that case, why don't you try it?"
"this"
A few people looked at each other. Not many people were eager to give things away, and this was the first time they saw someone anxious to let people taste it.
Could it be that there is some deadly poison hidden inside that will kill anyone who comes into contact with it?
However, this thought was suppressed as soon as it arose.
If he really wanted to kill them, why did Wang Mang go to such trouble in person? Couldn't he just arrange a group of blind robbers on the way back? Anyway, the chaos in the Xia Dynasty had not been completely settled, and the people still had great hostility towards the four countries, so why did he need to dirty his hands?
Thinking of this, Qi Yinglong took the lead and took out a pill that felt slightly sticky when pinched. "It would be disrespectful to refuse Emperor Xia's kindness."
After saying that, he threw it into his mouth without any hesitation, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but after taking the pill, he could smell the aroma of rice. The texture was similar to glutinous rice when he chewed it, and it was even a little sticky.
Until it is swallowed into the stomach, there is nothing special about it, it is just like eating a small bite of glutinous rice.
Is this the gift that Emperor Xia mentioned that is not inferior to the gift they carefully prepared? Very good, the emperor's basic skills, shamelessness, can be said to have been learned by him to the essence!
Qi Yinglong was about to give some compliments against his will, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly froze.
The next moment his face changed drastically! "This, this, this, this!"
Qi Yinglong opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Mang in disbelief. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
The former emperor of Dayong, who was following closely behind Qi Yinglong and had already grasped a pill and was about to put it into his mouth, froze on the spot when he saw this sudden change.
It is not right to eat the pill in my hand, nor is it right not to eat it.
The Xia Dynasty wouldn't be so mean that they would let them die in the palace of the Xia Dynasty, right? Although they did give up the throne of the emperor, they would definitely have the sole power over the country in the next few years.
If we kill them here, will the new emperor be able to control the country well?
I'm afraid it's impossible! At this time, if the Xia Dynasty rises up and lets that person go, how should we deal with it? Will the new emperor still have the determination to fight to the death with you?
It was just a sudden change, but countless thoughts arose in his mind. The former emperor of Dayong was in a dilemma, his eyes flickering, and for a moment he was torn between conscience and desire, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
Wang Mang looked at him with a smile but did not say a word.
It was not until Qi Yinglong finally came to his senses and felt the majestic vitality in his body, as if he had been baptized. At this moment, he seemed to be several years younger and his condition was better than ever before.
"What is this thing? How can it have such great power!"
Qi Yinglong finally came to his senses and asked impatiently.
His eyes were burning as he stared at the package in Wang Mang's hand. His eyes seemed to have turned red, as if he wanted to fly and pounce on it. He seemed to have turned into a beast facing a fatal temptation, and his eyes were full of impatience.
The former Emperor of Dayong, who was already in the process of death, seemed to have heard the sound of nature. He no longer hesitated. As long as the thing was not poison, it didn't matter what it was. He stuffed it into his mouth and said, "I have admired this thing for a long time. It's a pity that I have played with countless treasures in the world in the past, but now I can't tell what it is. Maybe it's just like the saying that the divine things are hidden and cannot be observed by ordinary people."
With the two examples set, the former emperors of Daqing and Dai Viet did not wait any longer. They each took one and swallowed it in one gulp.
After a while, the power of the Qingmu Liquid contained in the pill finally began to take effect.
The pure vitality sweeps over the whole body, like the most gentle hand in the world brushing across the meridians, blood, bones, and even various organs, making people feel refreshed! This feeling of returning to youth is too fascinating, as if you have become several years younger in the blink of an eye!
The long-lost, energetic body was like taking off a heavy shackle, and the whole person felt a lot lighter! "What is this? I have never heard of it!"
"Is there really a way to regain youth in this world?"
"A magic elixir, an elixir, this is an elixir!"
This made even the former emperors who had enjoyed all kinds of rare treasures in the world's eyes turn red with tears.
No matter how much wealth and glory you have, it is difficult to buy time. This is the iron law of the mortal world.
The most helpless thing in this world is death.
And the fairest thing is death.
No matter you are a king, a general, or a commoner, there is always the same destination, quietly waiting there, and from the moment you are born, you will inevitably slide away.
Even the powerful immortals in the legend can only delay but cannot resist.
For ordinary people, it is a real myth. Who dares to hope for immortality? The last famous person who had such a wish was Emperor Zong Ming.
In order to seek immortality, Dayue brought the people to a state of misery, rebellions arose in various places, the country's strength declined unprecedentedly, and he became a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.
It also implicitly shows that even if you were to go to a whole country, it would be difficult to find a way to restore youth.
With such a precedent, everyone naturally understood that the so-called immortality was just a fantasy. How many years had Emperor Zong Ming died? That pile of blood was still staring at them! Although everyone has the dream of immortality, reality will teach them a lesson.
This thought has long been completely suppressed.
But the pill they swallowed truly brought about earth-shaking changes in their bodies. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a return to their youth!
Faced with overwhelming evidence, all previous ideas were overturned.
The few people didn't care about anything else and surrounded Wang Mang, staring at the package in his hand with extremely fiery eyes, as if they were about to pounce on it and snatch it away.
Seeing the attitudes of the few people change drastically in just a moment, Wang Mang showed a smile of "as expected" on his face, and said calmly: "Don't be so excited, calm down. Although this thing is good, it is not as magical as you think. It is impossible to smooth out the years and restore youth."
"Since Emperor Xia is willing to give this item, you may as well speak directly. Since we have personally experienced the miraculous effects of this elixir, how can it be false? If Emperor Xia has any other needs, we can also consider it!"
The former emperor of Dai Viet spoke with burning eyes, almost impatiently.
At this moment, he had thrown all his great wishes out of his mind. If he could really return to his youth and have the hope of immortality, he would rather not have this Great Yue!
Personal interests are not as important as a country? No, no, no, for many people, as long as personal interests are big enough, what does a country count for? What these people are worried about is not the endless wealth and glory, but the fact that they can't exchange those wealth and glory for something more prosperous!
He had previously looked concerned about the country and the people, but now it was clearly revealed.
Although the other three were not as impatient as he was, the burning look in their eyes said it all.
"You are all too excited. If this thing is really that magical, why would it be taken out like this, and why would there be such a large number of them?"
Wang Mang shook the package in his hand and said seriously, "The greatest function of this item is to replenish your own losses. As for prolonging life and returning to youth, it is all an illusion. It is only because your bodies were overworked before and suffered great losses. After the sudden replenishment, you will feel several years younger."
A person is indeed a whole, but the body is not.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There are various organs, meridians, acupoints, and bones inside the body. These things put together make up a complete person.
However, because everyone's growth experience and growth process are different, the damage to various parts of the body is definitely not the same.
When the body is worn out for a long time, it will start to protest, which is the so-called illness caused by overwork!
Although there are occasionally miracle doctors who can heal parts of the body that are on the verge of damage, it can only delay the damage temporarily. It is impossible to make up for it.
Eventually, these organs in the body that are damaged first will become the reins that take away a person's life, tightening it completely.
Local damage can indeed lead to overall collapse, at least for the human body.
Even an emperor who lives a life of luxury and glory would have such worries and be overworked. After all, the position of emperor has never been a symbol of longevity.
Even those who can have a good ending are few and far between.
The replenishing ability of Qingmu Liquid can spontaneously maintain its own weaknesses and repair them.
This is indeed "prolonging life" and "restoring youth" in another sense, but it cannot prevent the organs from continuing to age until they reach the end.
The first time it was repaired with Aoki Liquid, the effect was of course beyond compare, because its own flaws and defects were repaired by the vitality of Aoki Liquid, so it was natural to feel different.
But wanting to rely on Aoki Liquid to live longer than one's own limits is just wishful thinking.
The real effect of Qingmu Liquid, in addition to promoting the growth of herbs and replenishing nutrients, is that it can allow people to live to the limit of their instinctive life, without having to step into the end of death in advance! After understanding Wang Mang's meaning, the ambitions rising in the hearts of several people finally slowed down a bit, but the heat in their eyes did not retreat at all.
The effect of Qingmu Liquid is simple to say, but how many people can do it? At least when you swallow it for the first time, it can indeed help people live a few more years!
Even if it had been a few years, it was already a remarkable thing! "This thing is extraordinary, it is not something that can be found in this world!"
Qi Yinglong was deeply touched. He felt that his body was much lighter, and his spirit was refreshed. His face looked different. "We are unworthy of such a great gift!"
In contrast, the former emperor of Dai Viet was more anxious. "I wonder how much of this thing is left? Where did it come from? Does it have other effects that have not been found out? Dai Viet also has extraordinary things, maybe we can exchange some!"
Almost every country has its own rare treasures.
For example, Dayue’s unique Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon silk is exclusively used by the royal family. It is spotless and self-clean. Wearing it feels like the moonlight is covering your body, which is extremely beautiful.
Dayong has natural water, which is completely natural and dissolves all things in it, but each has different effects.
These things are extraordinary items and are things that countries never sell outside. They can only be exchanged if both parties bring out things of the same level.
Compared with things that directly increase lifespan from another level, the rare treasures from various countries are inferior, so it is natural to avoid having this kind of thought.
"This thing was given to me by that person, and I was asked to deliver it to you."
Wang Mang's expression remained unchanged as he spoke with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, several people understood.
Such an unheard-of thing that makes people greedy is naturally worthy of the strongest person in the world! Even if you want to take it by force, it is impossible!
"That person is truly a deity!"
Qi Yinglong said without hiding anything: "Before I came here, I heard that there is a miracle doctor here who travels around. He can revive people, turn bones into flesh, and cure stubborn diseases with just a breath. I thought it was just an ordinary rumor, but now it seems that it must be the work of that person! With such ability and such a broad mind, he benefits the world. Ordinary people are far inferior to him!
The so-called immortals on earth are nothing more than this!"
Even the former Emperor of Dayong, who also took shortcuts to obtain a bone in his country, could not help but sigh, "This thing is completely natural and has no side effects. It is truly a blessing for the common people! In ancient times, countless loyal ministers and generals fell ill before their lifespans ended. If we had this thing, it would be a great merit!"
Although Dayong's bone can help people overcome their death, that bone is not only extremely picky about people, but also makes people become less human. Even the master cannot escape it. Ordinary people cannot bear it at all, and they don't even have a chance to try their luck.
Even the royal family could only sigh at the bones and feel helpless.
"For such a precious gift, I wonder what that person wants? As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best!"
The former emperor of Daqing also expressed his opinion immediately.
Compared to the various gifts they carefully prepared, this elixir that has transcended the mundane and can greatly improve individuals undoubtedly occupies a greater weight in their hearts.
“There are almost no requirements.”
Wang Mang smiled and said, "He just hopes that you can distribute this item properly after returning home. Some seriously ill people can also be relieved of their pain. This will also be a good thing for the people."
