Chapter 141: Testing



Of course Zhao Ji knew clearly that the implicit meaning of the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau's words was nothing more than his hope that he could bring down Zhang Zhenren as soon as possible.

The difficulty now lies in the fact that this Master Zhang seems to be a Taoist priest who really appeared out of thin air, and nothing can be found out about him.

Zhao Ji asked people to investigate everywhere, but nothing could be found. Up to now, no useful information has been dug out.

Zhao Ji simply didn't believe that a person could be so clean if it wasn't deliberately arranged by someone else.

However, the difficulty now lies in the fact that it is impossible to find any flaws in this Master Zhang.

"This is really strange. This person doesn't have any interpersonal relationships at all."

Zhao Ji remembered the secret compartment he saw in the Taoist temple after he knocked the little boy unconscious.

"It seems that I still need to go for a trip."

Now that he has presented the twelve pills, Master Zhang is much more relaxed than before.

At least when Zhao Ji came to visit this time, Master Zhang even took the time to personally make tea for Zhao Ji.

"Why don't you continue to make pills now? Instead, you have time to drink tea?"

Zhao Ji put down the tea in his hand without touching a drop, and just said jokingly.

Master Zhang showed a smile that was indifferent to fame and gain: "This pill is not the more the better, but it should be taken in moderation according to the emperor's body. If you take too much, it will be counterproductive!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it seems that Master Zhang knows the emperor's constitution very well!"

Master Zhang nodded and said, "People like us who practice Taoism also know a little bit about face reading."

"I think the Master Seal Holder can also see that the Emperor now looks ruddy and his complexion is much better than before. This is all due to the effect of the elixir!"

Zhao Ji disagreed in his heart, but he put on an inquiring expression on his face.

"No wonder I felt that the emperor looked much better during this period. So this is the reason? Master Zhang, are you judging the emperor's physical condition based on whether his face is rosy?"

Master Zhang smiled faintly: "People who practice Taoism naturally have their own ways. Master Zhangyin cares so much about you, do you also want to practice Taoism?"

In fact, this was said just to shut Zhao Ji up.

Unexpectedly, the next Zhao Ji actually nodded seriously: "I do think so!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang's face froze and he remained silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"Master Zhangyin is in good health and has a prosperous career. I wonder why he wants to practice Taoism. After all, practicing Taoism means giving up all fame and wealth in this secular world!"

Zhao Ji picked up the teacup, tasted the tea, but didn't drink it. He put the tea on the table again. He noticed that Zhang Zhenren's face was slightly stiff.

His eyes were always fixed on him, and the hand holding the teacup seemed to be observing when he would drink the tea.

"Everyone thinks that the seal holder holds great power, but few people know that this position is extremely important. The emperor trusts me so much, so I must do everything for him. But sometimes, after seeing so many things and people's hearts, I feel that it is easier to become a monk and practice Taoism!"

"Besides, I am a disabled person, so Master Zhang doesn't need to talk about my good health. In fact, all I want is to live a hundred years and see the prosperity of the world for a few more days!"

Zhao Ji deliberately acted like he was in distress, but in fact he was trying to lead Master Zhang to ask him questions.

As expected, Master Zhang took the bait: "I never thought that the Master would have such an idea! But if the Master wants a way to live a hundred years longer, I do have a recipe."

Zhao Ji pretended to be surprised and greedy and looked at Master Zhang.

"What? If you are Master Zhang, you can give me this method. Master Zhang, if you want anything in the future, just tell me. I will definitely help you to the best of my ability..."

I have to say that at this moment, Zhao Ji portrayed the expression of a eunuch who wanted to live a hundred years very well.

Zhang Zhenren lowered his eyes and flashed a trace of contempt, but then his face was still smiling calmly: "I am a cultivator, so naturally I don't care about those material things. I believe that the Lord Seal Master is also very clear about this. I just get along well with the Lord Seal Master, so I am willing to give you this prescription..."

Zhao Ji nodded excitedly: "I wonder what kind of prescription it is?"

Master Zhang asked Zhao Ji to wait for a moment, then walked to the alchemy room where he had previously refined medicine, and came out after a long while.

When he came out, he was holding a smoky green porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Is this also a pill? Is it similar to what the emperor eats?" Zhao Ji thought it was another pill and asked casually.

Zhang Zhenren shook his head and said, "What you want is not the same as what the emperor wants, or there are some differences. So naturally I can't take all the emperor's and then give it to you, the seal holder. But if you just want to prolong your life and live a hundred years, this bottle is enough!"

Zhao Ji stretched out his hand, and Master Zhang placed the medicine bottle in Zhao Ji's hand.

Zhao Ji picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it, and there seemed to be some ** inside.

Just as he was about to pull out the cork, he was stopped by Master Zhang.

"This medicine is very volatile, so if you want to see it, you have to look at it right before drinking it, so that it won't lose its medicinal properties!"

Zhao Ji put the porcelain bottle into his arms doubtfully, and then asked, "Is this bottle of medicine really enough? Can such a small amount of medicine really prolong life?"

Master Zhang smiled cheerfully, "Your Majesty didn't quite believe me at first, but facts have proven that I follow the will of heaven and everything I give out is right. Master Seal Holder, rest assured, since it is something I give out, it is absolutely guaranteed. It is made with 108 kinds of precious medicinal materials such as Tianshan Ganoderma Lucidum and Tianshan Snow Lotus!"

"All the herbs were mixed together, and the essence was taken and the dross was discarded. It took a full eighteen days to refine this small bottle of liquid medicine! Of course, if Master Seal only drinks it once, the effect of prolonging life will naturally not be as good as the effect of drinking it for three months in a row!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhenren's fox tail was exposed, Zhao Ji continued to pretend to be sad and asked, "Do I have to drink it every day for the next three months?"

Master Zhang shook his head: "This medicinal material is extremely difficult to obtain. Drinking it once a month is enough!"

"From now on, if Master Seal wants to drink it, I will immediately start refining the liquid medicine for next month. I am afraid that these medicinal materials are not enough..."

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes, slapped the table, stood up, pretended to be excited and said: "It's okay, Master Zhang, just tell me, I'll send someone to find you if you need anything!"

Master Zhang shook his head and said, "That's too inefficient. I usually buy them from some familiar pharmacists, but the money..."
