783 Longevity Pill Reappears
The elders' words that day withstood the pressure and forced the Holy Emperor to compromise.
Looking back now, a sense of disbelief suddenly arose in my heart, and I thought to myself, 'Back then, the remaining elders probably all agreed to streamline the production of pills.'
However, due to the exorbitant costs and complex processes involved in producing high-grade elixirs, the Holy Emperor was forced to abandon the idea.
No wonder, after the master died, these old elders quickly retired and new elders took over, and the affairs of the Pill Hall were handed over to them, under the guise of 'orderly succession'!
It would be best to choose the position of Palace Master from among the disciples of the former Palace Master.
The Palace Master's expression shifted in an instant, from shock to awe, and finally to deep respect. He bowed slightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Martial Emperor!"
A bitter taste filled his heart, an indescribable bitterness. Without the support of the Martial Emperor, he felt as insignificant as a frog at the bottom of a well under the oppressive aura. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.
He secretly resented it, thinking, "Damn elder, he put all the pressure on me. If I give in, all the shame will fall on me in the future."
If I refuse to compromise, Emperor Wu can easily crush me, let alone the Holy Emperor!
Those despicable and shameless scoundrels!
For the first time, Xia Qianfei felt the pain, heartache, and helplessness of many former elders, as well as the loss of his master's protection, his own lack of information, and how he had become a pawn.
Honor is not on my own; I have to bear the shame of death and everything else myself. How hateful!
The Lord of the Box bowed deeply, trying to remain calm. A burning light suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes, the strongest desire and cry from the depths of his heart, as if he wanted to achieve it even if it meant giving everything he had.
'Unless I become the Martial Emperor!'
I am the Martial Emperor; I will seize that supreme power and control my own destiny!
The head is bowed so that it can be raised high again next time; deep in his heart, the Lord of the Box thought this.
Seeing the Lord of the Box bow so respectfully, Emperor Yewu smiled with satisfaction.
He nodded slightly, a sense of pride welling up inside him, as if he were the master of the world, holding the power of life and death.
Emperor Wu's fame and power should be so deeply ingrained in people's hearts that they should be filled with awe.
This feeling of being looked up to by everyone gave Ye Wudi a sense of satisfaction and pride. As a Wudi, he should enjoy endless glory and respect.
Compared to the royal palace, although it was nourished by dragon energy, all the fellow cultivators were of the same level, and the Holy Emperor was like a sword hanging over his head, so he had no chance at all.
Now that the Holy Emperor is traveling, the dragon's aura has dissipated, leaving him feeling depressed. The eldest prince is someone he should not offend, so he is truly constrained at every turn.
Seeing mortals worshipping like this, I suddenly felt that I was the god, and that I deserved such adoration and worship!
Emperor Ye nodded slightly, his expression both dignified and gentle, and said softly, "Lord of the Box Palace, come, please sit down. My name is Ye!"
The Lord of the Box Palace was startled and quickly bowed again, saying respectfully, "Greetings to the esteemed Emperor Yewu!"
"I have heard so much about Emperor Ye Wu; it is truly an honor for me to meet him!"
Emperor Yewu nodded slightly, his expression knowing. He glanced at the Lord of the Box Palace with a hint of appreciation. "He can bend and stretch, that's good!"
With just a glance, it seems as if one can see through everything.
In his heart, he was thinking to himself, "Old Ghost Qian and Brother Wan both have powerful forces backing them, while I am all alone, with no ties to them."
If one has no worries, one can act without restraint. I'm afraid the two of them have already distinguished between me and others. I need to weigh the pros and cons and act cautiously to avoid falling into a disadvantageous situation.
Indeed, in the end, people can only rely on themselves. However, before breaking the rules, their focus should be on winning people over, without too much scheming!
At this moment, my mind is calm. There have been too many things to do today and tonight. The dragon energy has escaped, the Heavenly Evil Clan has appeared, and my lifespan has been greatly reduced. It is as if I have been forcibly stripped away by an invisible force, which makes me furious.
As Night Martial Emperor watched as the Palace Master personally brewed tea for him again, a hint of approval welled up in his heart. It was as if he were seeing his past self, with low cultivation, who was willing to disregard all pride.
He spoke softly, "As a palace attendant, I have long admired the Pill Hall's exceptional skill in refining longevity elixirs. I have come today to pay my respects and seek guidance from you esteemed masters."
Upon hearing this, the Palace Master's hand trembled slightly, his heart filled with shock. 'Could it be that the royal palace has discovered the Dragon Qi Pill's refinement?'
But he immediately responded respectfully, denying it with a blank expression, and quickly shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty the Martial Emperor is too kind. I believe Your Majesty has some knowledge of longevity pills. I have also heard of them in the Pill Hall. My master even heard of them when he was alive."
But the Longevity Pill was snatched away and consumed as soon as it appeared, and it was never left to the world!
Although the Pill Hall possesses some formulas for longevity pills, their effects are far inferior to those of true longevity pills!
Emperor Ye Wu's expression remained calm and composed, with a slight smile, but that smile revealed a subtle hint of amusement in the eyes of the Palace Master.
It was as if to say, 'Is this the answer the Lord of the Box has given?'
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Box felt a tightness in his heart, as if he were experiencing the immense pressure he felt when facing his master back then.
A bead of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead, and the surrounding qi suddenly felt like a layer of water film, which would break at the slightest touch!
The Night Emperor's intentions were clear, but he himself was unable to replicate the Longevity Pill. Otherwise, the Pill Hall would not be what it is now; it would probably be one of the giants of this world long ago.
Like the Lingmi Sect, they hide in a sacred place. No one knows where the sacred place is, how big the space is, or how much wealth it has. Perhaps some people know, but they have all chosen to keep it secret. This shows how terrifying their power is!
At this moment, the Lord of the Box Palace was immediately thinking of a solution, hoping to deal with the Night Martial Emperor in a proper way so that he could leave satisfied. Otherwise, under the influence of his anger, he might lose his life.
After a few moments, the Lord of the Box replied softly, still pondering, "Lord Ye, the longevity pills are said to have come from beyond the realm."
Back when my master was still alive, a powerful figure came to our door hoping to research and break through the formula for the longevity elixir!
According to my master, a large number of alchemists researched this pill together to find a solution. It contained a mixture of 108 kinds of spiritual herbs, including the flesh and blood of a dragon, and ingredients from the Nine Netherworlds…
Seeing the change in Emperor Ye Wu's expression, the Hall Master of the Box quickly continued, "Moreover, according to my master, the refining method of this pill is strange. It is not like that refined in a pill furnace, and its color is soft, unlike that refined in pill fire!"
However, the exact composition of some of the ingredients cannot be fully determined. Although there are suspected prescriptions, the materials have not been able to be collected completely.
Until his death, my master never opened the furnace to refine any longevity pills. I humbly beseech Your Majesty, Emperor, to understand!
The Lord of the Box Palace quickly explained that it wasn't that they didn't want to refine it, but rather that they hadn't collected all the necessary materials and lacked experience in refining it. He also added that the matter was true and could be verified.
