Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 194 Elixir
"I heard that the third and fifth brothers saw an immortal yesterday?"

In the backyard of the imperial palace, a group of young men dressed in gorgeous clothes sat opposite each other.

One of them suddenly changed his expression and asked Ji Yongdong and Ji Shenyu.

Hearing this, Ji Yongdong and the others remained calm and just smiled, "Yesterday I saw a Taoist who was quite interesting, so I asked my servants to tell his fortune, and it turned out that he turned out to be an immortal."

"If there really were immortals, the kings of the previous dynasties would have already achieved immortality."

Ji Shenyu and the other person answered one by one at this moment.

They had already reached a consensus on what happened yesterday and would never admit it.

Even if they were his own servants, they were kept silent.

Right now, as long as they insist on not saying anything, I think nothing will happen.

"Oh? But why did I hear that when the third brother's servants tried to stop the immortal, the immortal just said a word of determination and the servants were unable to move?"

Hearing this, someone on the side immediately spoke up.

There seemed to be a strange taste in the words.

When Ji Shenyu and the other man heard this, their hands holding the teacups stiffened slightly and their eyes flickered.

How could the other party know such a thing so clearly?

Is it difficult to say
Both of them looked at each other at this moment.

They did not suspect that the other party had told others what happened, but they suspected that there was a spy among the other party's servants.

Just looking at each other, they instantly became suspicious.

Could it be that one of his servants was a spy?
"cough"

A light cough was heard at this time, and the princes present hurriedly stood up after hearing the noise.

"Father."

Everyone shouted in unison, and then they saw an elderly man in a yellow robe slowly approaching them.

The old man seemed quite easy-going, without any fierce aura.

However, the princes all looked like quails in front of the other party, not daring to even breathe.

"Everyone, take a seat."

The old emperor said something casually and then sat down.

After seeing this, all the princes sat upright on their chairs.

"Just now in the court, Lord Dai mentioned the policy of allocating taxes to each acre of land. What do you think of it?"

The old emperor glanced at everyone and asked slowly.

"I think this is a national policy. If it can be implemented, it will surely usher in a prosperous era!"

"I believe that with the seeds donated by Lord Dai and this national policy, our dynasty will surely last for thousands of years!"

After hearing the question, the princes stood up one by one and expressed their opinions.

The old emperor lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he had closed his eyes, and just nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"No matter who among you takes my position in the future, Dai Mingxuan will be an important official of the country. Don't act rashly."

The old emperor spoke slowly with a hint of old age, but none of the princes present dared to respond.

You can't respond to this. If you respond, it means you want to sit in this seat.

Even if everyone knows in their hearts that each other has this intention, knowing it in your heart is one thing, but saying it out loud is stupid.

Moreover, it is easy to make the emperor suspicious.

They would never do such a stupid thing.

The old emperor seemed to know that his sons would not pick up on this, and he also sighed, "I have been in power for 36 years, working diligently, and have read many famous officials written in history books, but I feel that those famous officials are far from me."

"I never thought that I would meet such a famous minister in my old age."

At this moment, the old emperor already regarded Dai Mingxuan as a famous minister in history books.

As for the national policies proposed by the other party before, none of the famous ministers in history books can compare with them.

Therefore, it would not be wrong to treat the other party as a famous official at this moment.

But the old emperor is now worried about another thing, that is, whether any of his children have murderous intentions towards this famous minister.

With such a famous minister and his serious assistance, the next emperor only needs to sit in that position to make the country prosperous!

This is more important than anything else to the old emperor.

Only in this way can he live up to his ancestors when he goes down to meet them.

All the princes lowered their heads at this moment, listening to the old emperor's sigh but thoughts flashed through their minds.

The emperor is so fond of Lord Dai. If they can get his support, their chances of succeeding to the throne will be much higher.

However, Lord Dai seemed to be indifferent to each of them, which made them feel a little anxious.

"Eternal Winter, Yu Shen."

After the old emperor finished expressing his feelings, he suddenly called out the two people's names.

When they heard their father calling them, their hearts skipped a beat.

At this moment, the rest of the people also looked at the two of them one by one, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.

"I heard that you saw a half-immortal yesterday?"

The old emperor remained expressionless and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was asking about a family matter.

But when they heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and their faces turned pale.

"Yes, there is such a half-immortal."

After a moment's silence, Ji Yongdong took a deep breath and then answered.

Since my father has already asked this question, he must have received accurate information. It would be foolish to deny it now.

Hearing such an answer, the old emperor seemed a little surprised.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke, "You two are so kindhearted that you didn't even kill the servants."

hiss.
When the two princes heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.

They knew that their father had spies in many places.

But he had never expected that among the servants he had selected so carefully, there seemed to be his father's spies.

Such ability!

Both of them had sweat on their foreheads at this moment.

Fortunately, they did not kill them, but simply imprisoned all the servants and prevented them from contacting outsiders.

If this person is killed, I'm afraid
When the two thought of the consequences, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The emperor usually taught them that brothers should live in harmony, and he often cited stories of brothers killing each other in history books.

Since they dared to kill so many people, it would naturally make my father alert.

There is absolutely no way that the throne will be passed into the hands of such a violent person.

"What do you think about that half-immortal?"

The old emperor ignored the two men and turned to ask about other princes.

The other princes' hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.

Ji Yongdong and the other man were also stunned for a moment, then looked at the others.

"You know all about this?"

Both of them were a little stunned. They thought they had concealed the secret well and it shouldn't be known to everyone.

But the fact that the emperor asked this made it clear that apart from the two of them, everyone else also knew about it.

This. This secrecy has become a joke!
The other princes did not dare to think too much at this moment. They all looked nervous and only spoke after thinking for a moment.

"I don't know much, but from some rumors I heard, this half-immortal seems to have supernatural powers. Maybe he really is a half-immortal." "I probably know less than my third brother. Father, maybe you can ask my third brother."

"I think that no matter whether this half-immortal is real or fake, we should have people search for one or two in the city. If we find one, we can naturally verify its authenticity."

The princes answered one by one.

Originally, they all thought that this matter must not be known to their father.

After all, if the emperor knew about this, he would definitely ask for the elixir of immortality. If he got it, they would never have a chance again.

But now that the emperor already knows about it, they can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

I just hope that the immortal won’t be found so easily.

"Well, I have already ordered people to look for it. If they can find it, it's fine. If they can't, it doesn't matter."

"This world will eventually belong to you young people."

After saying this, the old emperor waved his hand, stood up and left.

After a while, the princes were relieved to see that the emperor had gone far away.

Unable to stay here any longer, the princes stood up one by one, bowed to each other, and left the palace one by one.

When they left, the princes also left in groups.

Among these princes, each has his own camp.

"Do you think this half-immortal can be found?"

After leaving the palace and asking his attendants to stay away from him, Ji Yongdong began to ask a question.

He and Ji Shenyu didn't get along well originally, but because of this incident, they now get along well.

Ji Shenyu thought about it after hearing this, and then shook his head again, "Whether we can find it or not, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with us anymore."

"why?"

Ji Yongdong was stunned when he heard this, then he looked up and said with some confusion.

"That half-immortal said that he would only give us one divination each. How can a person like the half-immortal take his words lightly? I think even if we find the half-immortal, there will be nothing for us to do."

Ji Shenyu's words left Ji Yongdong stunned.

Then he became somewhat distraught, "In this case, it seems that the throne has nothing to do with us."

"Not always."

Ji Shenyu shook his head. "If we find that immortal, the worst result would be that he would offer us the elixir of immortality, and Father would be immortal from then on. That would have nothing to do with us, and with my other brothers."

"If it is not found, then the matter remains the same."

Either everyone has no hope, or everything remains the same as it is now.

It seems as if nothing has changed.

After hearing what the other party said, Ji Yongdong thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about anything!
The only variable now is probably that half-immortal.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look around.

When I looked up, I noticed that there were many soldiers in armor running back and forth.

In addition, there seemed to be obvious traces of some spies around.

With such a move, they must be preparing to turn the imperial city upside down.

"Do you think that Father is determined to obtain this elixir of immortality?"

Seeing this scene, Ji Yongdong couldn't help but say something in a low voice.

Of course I didn't dare say this out loud, because if someone heard it, it would be troublesome.

Ji Shenyu did not answer this time.

Naturally, my father couldn't see through it.

But when it comes to the elixir of life, I think every old man in his sixties would want it.

Even they couldn't help but feel tempted when talking about this elixir of life.

"Don't say anything more, let's go."

After thinking about it, Ji Shenyu turned around and left in a hurry without saying anything.

"Xian, sir."

In the restaurant, Dai Mingxuan, who had just returned from court, did not go directly back to his house, but found Song Yunyuan.

Seeing the whole city in turmoil, just to find this immortal, but now this immortal is sitting here, drinking fine wine and listening to the distant tunes like Song Yunyuan, a mortal.

At this moment, Dai Mingxuan also felt some emotion in his heart.

If those who are looking for the immortal knew that the immortal looked like this and that the immortal was right here, I'm afraid the entire imperial city would be in an uproar.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Dai Mingxuan, Song Yunyuan nodded slightly and invited him to sit down.

Dai Mingxuan and Song Yunyuan were somewhat familiar with each other, so they did not seem too restrained after sitting down.

"Sir, everyone is looking for you outside."

Dai Mingxuan looked at Song Yunyuan and spoke softly.

Some ordinary court officials did not know about the half-immortal matter, only some ministers knew about it.

And Dai Mingxuan was highly trusted, so naturally he knew about this.

However, after Dai Mingxuan heard that the emperor was looking for Song Yunyuan, he knew where Song Yunyuan was, but he couldn't say it.

"Let them find whatever they want."

Song Yunyuan waved his hand when he heard that, not caring at all.

No matter how hard I look, I can't find him.

Now he had changed his clothes and was no longer dressed as a Taoist priest. Those people did not recognize him when they saw him.

And even if they found him, Song Yunyuan could leave if he wanted to, and these people couldn't keep him.

Dai Mingxuan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then asked softly, "Sir, the old emperor seems to be asking for the elixir of immortality, and he also said that he is willing to serve you as the imperial teacher."

"Even if you don't want the elixir of life, I am willing to serve you as my national teacher."

"You and I have known each other for a while, and you know that I have no opinion on this."

Song Yunyuan replied calmly after hearing this.

What national master or not, he has no interest in this.

Dai Mingxuan was a little disappointed when he heard this. "Now the emperor regards me as a famous minister, but these things are all taught by the teacher. Dai Mingxuan is not worthy of being a famous minister. I am afraid that I will be exposed in the future."

This is also what Dai Mingxuan is a little worried about.

All those things were taught to him by Song Yunyuan; he didn't originally have such talent.

It would be good if Song Yunyuan became the imperial teacher. If he encountered any difficulties in the future, he could ask Song Yunyuan for advice.

But if Song Yunyuan is unwilling, he will be exposed sooner or later as he climbs higher and higher.

"Since I taught you, then it's yours. No matter what you say, it's not yours. As for the rest, once you've climbed to that position, if you really don't know how to deal with it in the future, you can hand it over to the people below you."

Song Yunyuan smiled and then stood up.

He had already seen several purple auras emerging from the bottom of the restaurant and guessed that they were looking for Dai Mingxuan.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

After saying this, Song Yunyuan shook his head and went downstairs with a pot of wine.

At this moment, several princes were also walking towards them. After seeing Song Yunyuan, they were slightly startled and then passed each other.

Several princes stood in the restaurant, looking at Song Yunyuan's back, feeling a little strange, but after thinking about it, they walked towards Dai Mingxuan.
