General Qin

"If you can develop the magical power of scattering beans to create an army, you can scatter a handful of beans and one person can defeat a million soldiers."

"If you further cultivate the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil, you will be able to go up to the ladder to the clouds and down to the ground. At your fingertips, the mountains will open and the walls will crack; when you are angry, the stones will move away and the sand will fly. You will hide your form and change your appearance, capture ghosts and summon souls, and the wind and clouds Thunderstorms can be used at any time, water, fire, swords and guns dare not hurt..."

Lu Sheng shook his head, his face was in a state of intoxication, as if he could already see his majestic appearance when he used these magical powers after cultivating his magic power.

Opposite Lu Sheng, Xu Shi, Han Zhong, and Shi Sheng were sitting in stunned silence.

With their eyes wide open and their mouths open unconsciously, they listened blankly as Lu Sheng boasted about the so-called way of cultivating immortals and the various magical powers and magic that they could perform after they mastered it.

Unheard of, unseen, truly a new world.

Wait until all the mysterious methods are explained.

Lu Sheng stared at the three of them with sharp eyes and said loudly: "Everyone is mortal, so everyone in the world wants to live forever. We may be able to find elixirs to extend our lives, but that is just a stopgap measure, not a great way, let alone It is said that the overseas fairy mountains have been sealed by the immortals with a large formation, isolated from the mortal world, and cannot be found. Therefore, in today's world, if you want to obtain immortality, the only way is to cultivate immortality."

"Cultivation of immortality is a way of immortality that seizes the creation of heaven and earth and invades the mystery of the sun and moon. Once it is completed, it will be invulnerable to water and fire, and will be immune to all diseases. From now on, it will be immortal and live as long as the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. Not to mention having magic power. , and can also master great magical powers, and can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and be at ease in the world!"

At this point, Lu Sheng made an announcement to the three of them.

"From today on, I, Lu Ao, will no longer go overseas to look for immortals. I will pursue the path of immortality throughout my life and practice to become an immortal!"

"Everyone, come and cultivate immortality with me!"

Under the gaze of Lu Sheng's burning gaze, Xu Shi and the other three finally came to their senses from those mysterious words and looked at each other in confusion.

This Lu Sheng is the leader and leader of their Immortal Seeking Sect!

In the first half of his life, this man preached the theory of seeking immortals overseas, and successively lobbied King Jian of Qi, King Xi of Yan and the Emperor of Qin.

Although no one really funded Lu Sheng's overseas search for immortals, they treated him as a guest and offered him a bounty and a title. It can be said that the theory of overseas search for immortals was his capital for Lu Sheng to gain a foothold in the world.

But now Lu Sheng suddenly changed his tune after meeting with the martial arts lord Zhao Tuo, saying that he would give up the theory of seeking immortality that he had relied on for decades and pursue some avenue of cultivating immortality that he had never heard of before. The change was naturally shocking to the three of them.

Fortunately, Han Zhong and Shi Sheng had worked out together with Lu Sheng that Zhao Tuo might be a disciple of the Immortal, and they were already prepared. Now I heard Lu Sheng's story that the Immortal Mountain was sealed and the elixir of immortality was no longer available, and that only cultivating immortals could lead to immortality. Although I was still a little surprised, I did not refute it.

Only Xu Shi quickly calmed down after the initial shock.

"color!"

Xu Shi raised his palms and praised: "The way to cultivate immortality just mentioned by Mr. Lu is really shocking and admirable."

After finishing speaking, Xu Shi said seriously: "It's just Mr. Lu who is confused!"

"We seek immortality and medicine as the emperor said, just to do what he likes in order to win the favor of the rich and powerful. Do you really think you can find immortal mountains overseas? What benefit does Lu Gong have now changed from seeking immortality to cultivating immortality? Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, do you really believe what you said?"

Xu Shi had a look of disdain in his eyes.

Among the alchemists of the Immortal Seeking Sect, some believe that there are real immortals and immortal elixirs overseas, some are dubious, and some do not believe it at all and only regard this matter as a means to gain wealth.

He, Xu Shi, is exactly that kind of person.

For someone like Lu Sheng, who could develop and mature in front of his eyes and have the endorsement of King Qi and King Yan, he did not use the theory of seeking immortality, but instead engaged in cultivating immortals.

Xu Shi shook his head, thinking that Lu Sheng wanted to deceive others, but he deceived himself first. It was really ridiculous.

Lu Sheng, however, sneered and said: "Xu Sheng's statement is ridiculous. We occupy the right time and place on Zhifu Island, and we have exotic animals to offer. We still cannot trust the emperor to support us in going to sea to seek immortality. Now the time has come. Lose, why can you persuade the emperor to support going to sea? And even if you really get the emperor's funding and can go to sea, you will get nothing in the end. Do you think the emperor's temperament and the strictness of Qin's law will let you go? "

Xu Shi frowned slightly, Lu Sheng really hit the point.

If it were him a few years later, he would definitely have the idea of ​​​​taking the money to run away and live happily overseas after hearing this question.

But now, Xu Shi has not thought of this.

Seeing Xu Shi's silence, Lu Sheng whispered: "So this overseas search for immortals is actually full of dangers. Even if we really persuade the emperor, if the emperor is impatient, not only will our wealth not last long, but we will also die. danger."

"So it is better to persuade the emperor to cultivate immortality instead. The method of cultivating immortals is infinitely wonderful. Not only can you gain immortality, but it also has all kinds of magical powers and secrets. It is far more tempting than seeking immortals. And cultivating immortals does not require spending too much money and material resources to go to sea. , the emperor will definitely be more receptive, and we have a greater chance of persuading the emperor to cultivate immortality."

"Once the emperor chooses to follow our method of cultivating immortality, will we still lack wealth and glory?"

Lu Sheng's words completely moved Xu Shi.

yes!

The sales of cultivating immortals is much better than seeking immortals, the cost is lower, and the chance of persuading the emperor is greater. As long as they can fool the emperor, their wealth will still be at their fingertips.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

Xu Shi arched his hands to express his agreement.

He asked curiously: "I just don't know what kind of cultivation method this so-called immortality is?"

Lu Sheng grinned.

"Meditate and practice, refine the essence into Qi, refine the Qi into spirit..."

…

After the convoy stayed in Xiaoyi for half a day, it set off again towards Pengcheng.

Zhao Tuo sat on his luxurious carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the emperor's carriage in front of him.

The wheels are rolling and the smoke is filling the air.

"That guy Lu Sheng must have listened. In addition, the overseas search for immortals has suffered setbacks and the mirage has not appeared. The emperor has lost confidence in the quest for immortal medicine. It is impossible for him to agree to fund their voyage for at least a few years."

"Whether Lu Sheng really believes what I say or he just pretends to believe it, there is a high possibility that they, the alchemists, will change careers to cultivate immortality because of their own interests."

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's lips.

He roughly explained the system of cultivating immortals to Lu Sheng.

As for the method of cultivation, they only gave a general outline without breaking down the techniques and techniques in detail. They only said that after refining the Qi, you can cultivate the magic power in the body, and when the time comes, the magical power will appear on its own.

This simplified statement can reduce the difficulty of obtaining the magical passage method. With those magical and powerful-sounding magical powers as temptations, it will naturally stimulate people to practice more.

Zhao Tuo's speech was very exciting at that time, and Lu Sheng also listened attentively.

To Zhao Tuo's surprise, Lu Sheng heard the farewell and left without asking how Zhao Tuo knew these things.

"This Lu Sheng is a smart man."

Zhao Tuo secretly sighed. He didn't know how much Lu Sheng believed his words, but that was not important.

Because the alchemists will not miss this opportunity. Seeing that the road to immortality is blocked, they will probably use this more attractive way to cultivate immortality to persuade the emperor to gain the emperor's trust so that they can get Prosperity and wealth.

The reason why Zhao Tuo told Lu Sheng this was actually because he wanted them to persuade the emperor to cultivate immortality.

It is different from the old methods of building palaces to symbolize the ends of heaven, building large ships to go to sea to search for immortals, and even collecting various minerals to refine elixirs.

The system of cultivating immortals developed by Zhao Tuo is more similar to the inner alchemy method of Taoism in later generations.

Its core lies in oneself, using the human body as a cauldron to cultivate essence, qi, and spirit, thereby forming elixirs in the body to achieve the goal of strengthening the body, prolonging life, and even ultimately "becoming an immortal".

This kind of cultivation method does not require large-scale construction or searching for all kinds of rare property. Everything depends on meditating, refining Qi and breathing by oneself, which can be said to be very low-cost.

If the emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortals and meditates all day long, the biggest side effect may be that he ignores government affairs and neglects the governance of the country.

And this is exactly what Zhao Tuo wants.

The First Emperor was too enterprising. He made great moves year after year and fought wars one after another, almost depleting the Qin State's treasury of goods and grain. He continued to raise taxes and made the world exhausted.

What the world needs today is a breather, even if it is only a few years, that is good.

So Zhao Tuo thought of this when Lu Sheng came to his door.

Instill the mature system of cultivating immortals into the alchemists and let them persuade the emperor to cultivate immortality!

Although the emperor had a strong desire for power, he also longed for immortality. Throughout history, he had been deceived by alchemists with elixirs.

If this desire can make the emperor believe in the method of cultivating immortals, and become addicted to it, focusing only on personal cultivation, he may even become stoic later on.

So it might be a good thing for this country.

"Taoist priests have lived longer since ancient times. Although meditation and practice may not make you an immortal, it is definitely better than the emperor who is busy working all day long. It will definitely have the effect of prolonging your life."

"This way the emperor can live longer, and this empire can also exist longer."

Zhao Tuo looked at the emperor's car ahead, which was decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and prayed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, just go and cultivate immortality."

"Let Fusu and I govern this world for you."
