Of course, this seclusion was still different from his previous ones, mainly because the duration was too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having not seen Su Xuan for nearly a full year, Ying Zheng inevitably felt a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he could not help but feel some worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could something have happened to Mr. Su?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it appeared now, it was purely his overthinking; Su Xuan not only seemed to be fine, but he was in even better condition than before. Even Ying Zheng could feel the vigorous vitality radiating from Su Xuan. “It seems Mr. Su has gained quite a lot from this seclusion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng joked with Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan did not deny it. “I had some occasional insights; I did indeed gain a few things!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also looked at Ying Zheng and said, “However, Your Majesty’s complexion is more than a notch worse than it was before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, Your Majesty is worried about state affairs and busy handling government business, but sometimes, one also needs to balance work and rest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan’s current strength could already be considered the best in the world, and he was also proficient in the “Medicine” art among the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, so he immediately saw that Ying Zheng’s body had developed hidden ailments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These hidden ailments were brought about by excessive worry and labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it now, there was actually a reason why, in original history, Ying Zheng died of illness at Shaqiu before the age of fifty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, looking at the old rascal Liu Bang, who was three years younger than Ying Zheng, he ended up living to over sixty. Both were emperors, but one was short-lived and the other long-lived; it was clearly caused by their attitudes toward life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know the principle of balancing work and rest, but sometimes, when I see the piles of government affairs, if I don’t finish them today, new memorials will be sent over tomorrow. If it continues like this, the memorials will only pile up more and more. Therefore, rather than waiting to deal with them all tomorrow, it is better to spend more time today to finish them as early as possible, so that I can rest earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng knew his own body very well. As Su Xuan said, his body had indeed developed some small problems; occasionally his head would ache a little, but Ying Zheng did not care. Anyway, he was still young, and when government affairs were not so busy, he would rest for a few days and it would be about fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan listened to Ying Zheng’s words and sighed in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be said that being an emperor was not as good as imagined. If he were a dim-witted ruler, he could throw away all government affairs or hand them over to others to handle, and go enjoy himself. But Ying Zheng was a person with a strong desire for control and a strong personality; he was accustomed to doing things himself. Originally, there were only the government affairs of Qin, and although Qin was large, Ying Zheng could barely handle it. However, as Qin destroyed Han, Zhao, and Yan, and the territories of these three states all belonged to Qin, the government affairs Ying Zheng needed to handle also kept increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to completely transform the people of these three states into people of Qin, and completely integrate these three states into Qin, were all difficult problems. Even the goodness or badness of a policy could affect whether the people of these states would submit, or whether hidden dangers would be left behind. Not only were government affairs increasing, but Ying Zheng’s pressure was also growing with each passing day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides handling the government affairs of these states, there were also other matters that required Ying Zheng to toil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qin were content with the status quo and thought that destroying these few states was enough, then that would be that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng had always been extremely ambitious; he wanted to destroy the six states and unify the world. Now, Han, Zhao, and Yan had been destroyed, and there were three states left; Ying Zheng obviously could not let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan said, “I know that Your Majesty probably won’t agree to give up handling government affairs, but I do have a way to resolve some of the hidden ailments in Your Majesty’s body!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Is it by using elixirs?” Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xuan first appeared in Han, although he was famous for summoning wind and rain, he truly gained the trust of the King of Han by relying on that miraculous art of alchemy and medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan shook his head and said, “Elixirs can only treat the symptoms. Although taking them can temporarily alleviate the hidden ailments in Your Majesty’s body, if you take elixirs for a long time, it will only make the body develop drug resistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am talking about cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan looked at Ying Zheng and said, “I can teach Your Majesty the way of cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng was a bit surprised and said, “I have never questioned Mr. Su’s strength, however, just like Mr. Su’s seclusion this time, which took nearly a full year, I don’t have that much time to go into seclusion and cultivate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zheng had seen Su Xuan’s strength; it would be impossible to say he was not envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he said, he worried about government affairs, and he always felt that the time to handle them was insufficient; where would he have so much time to cultivate? Not to mention that Su Xuan’s way of cultivation often required seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Your Majesty is pursuing immortality, then seclusion and hard cultivation are unavoidable. But conversely, if it is just to strengthen the body, then it doesn’t need such a long time. Your Majesty only needs to set aside two quarters of an hour every day to cultivate…” Su Xuan explained to Ying Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was two quarters of an hour, Ying Zheng could spare that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Su Xuan’s words, he could not help but nod slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the first half of what Su Xuan said also caught his attention. “Mr. Su, can cultivation really lead to immortality?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago, Ying Zheng had asked Su Xuan if there was immortality in this world, but Su Xuan’s answer was that he could not give an answer for the time being, but he firmly believed that one day he would be able to give an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Su Xuan mentioned the word “immortality” again, Ying Zheng could not help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan said in a deep voice, “If it were before, I would still give the same answer; I cannot give Your Majesty an answer and can only wait until later to answer this question for Your Majesty. But now, after this seclusion, I can already give Your Majesty a reply!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivation can indeed lead to immortality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the affirmative answer, even though Ying Zheng had already said he did not have much time for cultivation, his eyes still lit up. He firmly believed that Su Xuan would not speak without foundation; since Su Xuan said cultivation could lead to immortality, then it must be able to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a path to immortality!\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-17T04:20:18.105Z","2026-06-17T04:29:30.761Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
