Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

So I was even more tired and exhausted when I started working.

I turned my head to look at the other side of the alchemy room from time to time with my squinting eyes.

Zhu Zhankan was holding a palm-leaf fan, flickering it leisurely.

The temperature in the alchemy room was indeed a little higher.

I noticed that Zhu Zhanji's face was a little pale, and the heat powder in the medicine jar was almost stirred.

"Okay, let's take a break first."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's shoulders collapsed all of a sudden, as if he was exhausted, and he sat down on the ground staggeringly.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji who was lying on the ground, Zhu Zhankan said lightly: "If you practice at this time, the effect will be best."

"???" Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Xiaoliu as if he was looking at the living devil: "If you are a human being, you can't say such words!"

How could your lips, which were heated by the alchemy room, say such cold words?

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's appearance of seeing a ghost, but still sitting cross-legged.

Zhu Zhankan smiled sincerely. The will of the elder brother was really strong.

However, Zhu Zhankan did not lie to him. After consuming the spiritual energy and physical strength, running the exercises was indeed beneficial to cultivation.

Of course, it refers to the benefits of his current stage of refining essence into qi. When he has a higher level of cultivation, he needs enlightenment to make progress.

It is more important to maintain a happy and energetic body.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to say, brother, I have refined the elixir for Grandpa Huang. How about you send it to Dad?"

"What?" Zhu Zhanji, who had just posed, was full of disbelief. Is he so pitty to his brother?

Just finished this, and he has to do that again?

"Just a little joke. I'm fine now. I'll send it over." After saying that, Zhu Zhankan reminded him not to move around and left.

Only Zhu Zhanji was left looking at the back of his sixth brother with resentment.

He had a hard time!

Zhu Zhankan, who returned to the Prince's Mansion, just entered the house and said that he had refined it.

After a while, the Crown Princess came out with the breathless Zhu Gaochi.

Waving his hand to disperse his subordinates, Zhu Gaochi came to the medicine box.

"Zhankan, have you finished refining the pills?"

Zhu Zhankan patted the medicine box: "It's done, it's in here."

After that, he stretched out his hand and handed the medicine box over.

Zhu Gaochi carefully took the medicine box and opened it cautiously. There were nine pills neatly arranged inside.

"Qidao Pill, for most people, one or two pills are enough to enter the Dao, and three or four pills are enough for more people."

Zhu Zhankan briefly introduced it.

"Does that mean that after taking these pills, you can practice?"

Zhu Gaochi and the Crown Princess looked at each other excitedly.

"That's about right."

"Then I'll bring the pills to the old man."

"No hurry." Zhu Zhankan took out two more pills: "Dad, Mom, you try this pill first, I'll see how it works."

"That's right, that's right." Zhu Gaochi looked at the Crown Princess: "Let's taste it for the old man first."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi took the pills and swallowed them without tasting anything.

Suddenly a warm feeling came over him.

The Crown Princess was fine, she successfully entered the Dao without making any embarrassment, but Zhu Gaochi was far worse, crawling on the ground with sweat on his forehead.

"Dad, practice the skills, come on! Come on! It's almost done! Hang in there!" Zhu Zhankan cheered him up next to him.

However, seeing that Zhu Gaochi was not practicing the skills in time, Zhu Zhankan opened Zhu Gaochi's mouth and stuffed two Qi Dao pills into his head.

Two warm currents surged into his heart with a sound, followed by a sense of comfort.

This time, Zhu Gaochi successfully entered the Dao!

[Family achievement task: There is a cultivator in the family. ]

[Task target: Among the nine clans, except for yourself, three people have entered the Dao entry stage. (3/3 people) ]

[Task completed]

[Reward: Middle-grade magic weapon - Yingling incense burner]

[Family achievement task (refresh): Family inheritance]

[Task target: Build a special ancestral hall belonging to the Zhu family, and set up relevant configurations in the ancestral hall. The more perfect the configuration, the richer the reward. ]

The task is finally completed! Zhu Zhankan smiled and helped his fat father up.

Zhu Gaochi, who had recovered, said: "Then I will send it to your grandfather first."

"It's not a big problem. After taking the elixir, you can enter the Dao without other assistance." Zhu Zhankan said: "Grandpa should be able to do it himself."

.......

Imperial study.

Zhu Di seemed a little absent-minded. As soon as Zhu Gaochi left the Prince's Mansion, the Jinyiwei reported to him that the prince was holding a package and walking towards the palace.

He had long ordered the palace people not to stop the prince, let alone check the things the prince was carrying.

Chapter 46 Zhu Di takes the elixir, and the strange tributes from the vassal kings

When Zhu Di heard the prince's voice at a close distance, he resisted the urge to go out to greet him.

"Father, I am here." Zhu Gaochi stood at the door and saluted respectfully.

You should never lose your manners.

"Okay, stop being polite. What do you want to see me for?" Zhu Di put his hands in his sleeves.

Zhu Gaochi smiled secretly in his heart. No one checked his package when he entered the palace. Obviously, the old man knew that he had brought the elixir in.

Zhu Gaochi did not keep it a secret. He took out the medicine box from his arms and handed it over.

Zhu Di exhaled lightly.

He nervously took the medicine box and opened it. Nine pills were neatly placed in the box.

"Father, Zhan Kan has finished refining the elixir."

Zhu Di approached the prince and said suspiciously: "Just these nine? I gave you a full five hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if I give Zhankan a fee for refining the medicine, it won't cost half a million taels of silver."

With that said, Zhu Di directly took action and patted the fat son's chest pocket.

Zhu Gaochi felt bitter in his heart. He didn't know how much difference your sweet grandson had made.

"Father, I don't know. In the past few days, the feudal king's envoys have come to Beijing and purchased medicinal materials on a large scale, causing the price of medicinal materials to increase several times."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhu Di really didn't know and didn't care.

No matter how powerful an emperor is, he cannot care about everything, especially non-essential things like medicinal materials.

"That's not right. I remember you were bringing cartloads of medicinal materials into the Jingxin Mansion. Why are there so few pills?" Zhu Di played with a few pills fondly.

"Zhan Kan said that if you want to refine ordinary herbs into elixirs to assist in cultivation, you need to replace quality with quantity. I heard from Zhan Ji that the piles of medicinal residues in the alchemy room are all leftover from refining the medicine."

Zhu Gaochi continued: "And my father doesn't need nine pills. About one to four pills are enough to enter the Tao. I have already tried it."

"Oh? How do you feel?" Zhu Di looked at the fat son in front of him.

In order to put Zhu Di's mind at ease, Zhu Gaochi introduced in detail how he took the elixir and how he practiced along with the exercises.

"Father, don't say anything else. I feel different after I join the Tao. My bones are relaxed and I don't breathe heavily when I walk..."

When Zhu Di heard this, he quickly interrupted Zhu Gaochi and asked: "You're done now? How long did it take?"

"How many incense sticks does it take?"

Only then did Zhu Di feel relieved, and he became a little excited about embarking on the path of cultivating immortality.

Especially when he heard that taking this elixir did not require Zhu Zhankan's assistance, he felt even more happy.

I am always being teased by a little guy intentionally or unintentionally. Do I, the old man, have no face?

Looking at the elixir in his hand, Zhu Di waved his hand, indicating to the prince to go back first.

"Father, for the extra elixirs, look over to the second and third sons..."

Zhu Di nodded: "I know it well. By the way, the vassal kings from various places also donated a lot of good things, Lao Zhang."

"Here." An old eunuch slowly walked out.

This is an old eunuch who has followed Zhu Di for who knows how many years. Zhu Di naturally trusts him.

Even cultivating immortals didn’t hide anything from the other party.
