Chapter 185 Elixir of Immortality?
The queen's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Xu Fu, the renowned alchemist during the Qin Empire, actually had such a deep connection with the Pavilion of Heaven? Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Xu Fu, an alchemist during the Qin Empire, was not only proficient in alchemy and medicine, but also possessed unique insights into astronomy and geography. Ancient records indicate that he once led a fleet out to sea in search of the legendary celestial mountain and the elixir of life.
The Heavenly Pavilion was the important item he took with him when he went to sea. ” The Queen’s words were like unraveling a thread, gradually revealing the connection between Xu Fu and the Heavenly Pavilion.
"The Pavilion of Heaven, that is the legendary holy place in our cultivation world! How could it be taken away by Xu Fu?" Taoist Li sighed.
"Yeah, who would have thought that Xu Fu would be so generous." Zhang Chulan agreed.
As everyone was discussing this, Li Qiankun slowly entered the hall. His face showed no trace of surprise, as if he had already known all this. He walked up to the Queen, bowed slightly, and then said calmly, "Your Majesty, I do know a little about the Heavenly Pavilion you mentioned."
The queen looked at Li Qiankun, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "Oh? Then tell me about it."
Li Qiankun smiled slightly, his eyes deep: "The Pavilion of Heaven is indeed an amazing place.
It is not only a treasure from the Qin Empire, but also a sacred place coveted by the cultivators. Xu Fu took the Heavenly Pavilion away, perhaps in search of the legendary elixir of immortality.
"The elixir of immortality?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Qiankun, with curiosity and desire in their eyes.
Li Qiankun nodded and continued, "That's right. Xu Fu spent his entire life pursuing immortality, and the Tianzhi Pavilion is said to contain ancient alchemy techniques and precious medicinal herbs. He took the Tianzhi Pavilion away, most likely to further study alchemy and search for the legendary elixir of life."
"Then... won't our mission this time be even more difficult?" Lu Linglong said worriedly.
Li Qiankun nodded solemnly, "Indeed. The connection between Tianzhi Pavilion and the Qin Empire is far deeper than we imagined. On this journey, we must not only face the dangers of the vast ocean, but also unravel the mysteries surrounding Tianzhi Pavilion and the Qin Empire. It can be said that this is an unprecedented challenge."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. What secrets did the Heavenly Pavilion, this mysterious and alluring place, hide? Could they successfully find it and complete the Queen's mission?
As the night deepened, the candles in the hall gradually went out.
Everyone returned to their rooms, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety.
The next morning, everyone gathered at the bow. The sea was rough, but their hearts were as steadfast and courageous as the sturdy ship. Li Qiankun stood before them, his expression solemn and his gaze piercing.
"Everyone, the Pavilion of Heaven is just ahead. It is a mysterious place built during the Qin Shihuang period and was later taken overseas by Xu Fu. Our mission this time is to find it and uncover its mystery." Li Qiankun's voice was low and powerful, beating everyone's heartstrings like waves.
"But... can we really find it?" Wang Ye also began to worry and asked hesitantly.
Li Qiankun turned to look at him and said comfortingly, "You will find it eventually."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
They looked at Li Qiankun with trust in their eyes.
"Okay! Let's go!" The queen stood aside, her voice firm and powerful.
She knew the importance of Tianzhige and the value of Li Qiankun in the team, and she believed that Li Qiankun could lead them to find Tianzhige.
The ship sailed slowly on the sea, and everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation and anxiety.
This journey is full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understand that only by finding the Heavenly Pavilion can they uncover its mystery.
"Qiankun, what did you find?" The queen walked to Li Qiankun and asked with concern.
However, an accident happened.
Xiao Hong stormed into Li Qiankun's room, pointing at him and shouting, "Your Majesty! Do you know? This Li Qiankun! He almost killed me!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xiaohong. Her face was pale, and her eyes were gleaming with anger. Li Qiankun looked at her with disdain, as if he had already expected her to cause trouble.
"Xiaohong, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Qiankun sneered, "When have I ever harmed you?"
"Yesterday! When you were fishing! You deliberately pushed me into a school of sharks! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been eaten by them!" Xiao Hong roared angrily. Her voice echoed in the room, filled with anger and despair.
Li Qiankun burst into laughter when he heard this.
He laughed as if he had heard a joke, and fell backwards with laughter. Everyone looked at him, their hearts filled with confusion and dissatisfaction. They didn't understand why Li Qiankun would laugh at Xiaohong's accusation so coldly.
"Xiaohong, you're really good at making up stories." Li Qiankun finally stopped laughing and looked at Xiaohong coldly and said, "When did I ever push you?"
"You!" Xiaohong was so angry that her face turned blue. Her fingers were shaking as she pointed at Li Qiankun. "You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who pushed me!"
The two argued endlessly and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The queen stood aside, watching their quarrel with a frown on her face.
"That's enough!" The Queen finally couldn't help herself and interrupted their quarrel. Her voice was cold and majestic, like a cold wind blowing away the tense atmosphere in the room. "You two! Stop arguing!"
Xiaohong stopped arguing after hearing this. She looked at the queen, her eyes flashing with resentment and anger.
However, she also understood that the Queen's words had already set the tone, and it would be useless for her to argue.
The Queen looked at the two of them and said firmly, "Li Qiankun! I believe you are not that kind of person. You have always been the best in our team, and I believe you can lead us to the Heavenly Pavilion. As for Xiaohong... please stop being unreasonable."
Xiaohong felt unwilling when she heard this.
Xiaohong wanted to say something but stopped herself, her lips moving slightly, as if she had something important to tell, but just as she was about to open her mouth, the queen waved her hand gently and interrupted her.
"Xiaohong, we all have more important things to focus on." The Queen's voice was calm and majestic. Her eyes were like torches, scanning everyone present, and finally fixed on Li Qiankun. "Li Qiankun, please continue to tell us about the Heavenly Pavilion."
Li Qiankun nodded slightly, stood up, and stood in front of the crowd again. He was tall and straight, his face resolute, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic.
"The Pavilion of Heaven, a legendary place, carries the dreams and aspirations of countless people. During the Qin Empire, Qigong practitioners were prevalent, practicing Taoism and pursuing immortality. Qin Shi Huang, the overlord who unified the six kingdoms, was a leader among them. He spent his entire life searching for the method of immortality, longing to rule this land forever."
Li Qiankun's words trickled down like a stream, slowly flowing through everyone's heart. Xiaohong stood aside, clenching her fists, her heart filled with anger and resentment. She secretly vowed that once she got off the boat, she would settle this score with Li Qiankun.
But at this moment, she had to suppress her anger and continue listening to Li Qiankun's story.
"In his quest for immortality, Qin Shi Huang collected countless Taoist methods and classics from Qigong practitioners, hoping to find the secret to longevity. However, he ultimately failed to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal and was confined to reigning as king on earth. In his later years, he died suddenly from an overdose of elixirs, his dream of immortality ultimately shattered."
Li Qiankun sighed at this point, his tone filled with historical emotion. Everyone listened intently, filled with curiosity and awe at the legendary story of Qin Shi Huang. They could almost see the brilliant and ambitious emperor trudging along the path to immortality, ultimately failing to achieve his goal.
"However, just after Qin Shi Huang's death, a man named Xu Fu took advantage of the opportunity and fled overseas with the information on the elixir of life. He knew Qin Shi Huang's desire for immortality and understood the value of these materials. So, he took these precious materials and disappeared into the vast ocean."
Li Qiankun's words revealed his admiration and regret for Xu Fu. He knew that although Xu Fu betrayed Qin Shi Huang, his actions left valuable clues and hope for future generations.
"The Pavilion of Heaven is where the information about Qin Shi Huang's elixir of life is hidden. It's located in a secret place, known only to a few. The Pavilion of Heaven contains countless treasures, but the most important are the information about the elixir of life. If this information falls into the hands of the wrong person, it will surely cause a huge uproar."
Li Qiankun paused at this point, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. He knew full well that the existence of the elixir of immortality was a huge temptation for anyone. And at this moment, he wanted to see their reactions and attitudes.
As expected, everyone listened intently, filled with yearning and curiosity for the Heavenly Pavilion. They seemed to have already seen the mysterious pavilion hidden in the clouds and the precious information and treasures within.
"If we can find the Heavenly Pavilion, perhaps we can unlock the secret of immortality," Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask. His voice was filled with excitement and anticipation. He knew full well that the existence of an elixir of immortality was a huge temptation for everyone, and he was no exception.
"Is Xu Fu really still alive?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously. He had always been curious and puzzled about Xu Fu's whereabouts.
Li Qiankun shook his head, sighed, and said, "Who can really tell? After Xu Fu fled overseas, there was no news of him. Some say he died in the vast ocean, while others say he found the secret to immortality and lived in seclusion in some mysterious place. But no matter what, the existence of the elixir of immortality has attracted countless people's covetousness and competition."
Having said that, Li Qiankun paused again and swept his eyes over everyone present.
The temptation of the elixir of life is huge, and some of these people may have evil intentions and want to take the opportunity to seize these precious information and treasures.
As expected, everyone's faces showed expressions of shock and speculation. They whispered to each other and discussed the matter.
The queen always maintained a calm and majestic expression, her eyes were like torches, as if she could see through everything.
"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on the existence of the Elixir of Life?" Zhuge Qing asked, narrowing his eyes. He had always maintained a calm and objective attitude towards the existence of the Elixir of Life.
The Queen smiled slightly and said, "The existence of the elixir of immortality is a huge temptation for anyone. But I also know that these materials and treasures are not easy to obtain. They are hidden in the Pavilion of Heaven, waiting for those who are destined to discover and explore. And we may be one of those destined people."
The Queen's words carried a hint of confidence and anticipation. She knew full well that the temptation of the elixir of immortality was enormous.
Only those with true ability and wisdom can find the Pavilion of Heaven and unlock the secret of immortality.
"The Pavilion of Heaven will soon be reopened, and the secrets of the past will be revealed." Li Qiankun's voice sounded again, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
The re-emergence of Tianzhige is bound to cause a huge uproar. Only those who are truly capable and wise can stand firm in this storm and have the last laugh.
Wang Ye smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
He knew that the possibility that Xu Fu was still alive and had discovered something was unlikely, but he also believed in miracles. Perhaps in some mysterious corner, Xu Fu was quietly waiting for the right person to come and teach him the secret of immortality.
"Yeah, maybe Xu Fu is still alive." Wang Ye's voice was full of teasing and anticipation. He knew that his words might cause people to laugh and question him, but he also trusted his intuition and judgment.
