Chapter 421

"Mr. Su's seclusion this time was not short!"

In the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was quite excited after seeing Su Xuan.

Accustomed to Su Xuan's help, suddenly one day, Su Xuan was no longer by his side, and it was inevitably a bit awkward.

However, Ying Zheng also knew that a high-level expert like Su Xuan could not be walking around outside all the time. Occasionally, having some gains, he would go into seclusion. Of course, this seclusion was still different from the past cultivation seclusions, mainly because the time was too long.

Having not seen Su Xuan for nearly a full year, Ying Zheng was inevitably a bit awkward.

At the same time, he could not help but harbor some worries.

Could something have happened to Mr. Su!

Now it seems that it was purely his overthinking. Su Xuan not only looked like nothing had happened, but he was also in a better state than before. Even Ying Zheng "090" could feel the vigorous vitality released from Su Xuan. "It seems Mr. Su has gained a lot from this seclusion!"

Ying Zheng teased Su Xuan.

Su Xuan did not deny it either. "Having some occasional gains, I did indeed gain some things!"

He also looked at Ying Zheng and said: "However, Your Majesty's complexion is much worse than before!"

"I know, Your Majesty is worried about state affairs and busy dealing with government affairs, but sometimes, it is also necessary to combine work and rest!"

Su Xuan's current strength can already be considered the best in the world, and he is also proficient in the "Medical" arts among the Seventy-Two Earthly Sha Arts. He immediately saw that Ying Zheng's body had already developed hidden illnesses.

These hidden illnesses were brought about by excessive worry and labor.

Now it seems that in the original history, Ying Zheng died of illness in Shaqiu before the age of fifty; there was actually a reason for it.

Looking at the old rogue Liu Bang, he was three years younger than Ying Zheng, but he ended up living for more than sixty years. Both were emperors, but one was short-lived and the other long-lived. It was clearly caused by their attitudes toward life.

"Of course I know the principle of combining work and rest, but sometimes, seeing the piled-up government affairs, if I don't finish dealing with them today, new memorials will be sent over tomorrow. If it continues like this, it will only make the memorials pile up more and more. Therefore, rather than waiting to deal with them all at once tomorrow, it is better to spend more time today and finish dealing with them as early as possible, so that I can also go to rest as early as possible."

Ying Zheng knew his body very well. As Su Xuan said, his body did indeed have some small problems now, and occasionally his head would hurt a little. But Ying Zheng did not care. Anyway, he was still young. When government affairs were not so busy, resting for a few days would be about the same.

Su Xuan listened to Ying Zheng's words and sighed in his heart.

It can only be said that being an emperor is not as good as imagined. If he were a foolish ruler, he could throw away all government affairs or hand them over to others to deal with, and specialize in enjoying himself. But Ying Zheng is a person with a very strong desire for control and a strong personality. He is accustomed to doing things himself. Originally, there were only the government affairs of the Qin Guo. Although the Qin Guo was large, Ying Zheng could barely handle it. However, after the Qin Guo destroyed Han, Zhao, and Yan, and the territories of these three countries all belonged to the Qin Guo, the government affairs that Ying Zheng needed to deal with were also constantly increasing.

How to completely transform the people of these three countries into the people of the Qin Guo and completely integrate these three countries into the Qin Guo are all difficult problems. Even the good or bad of a policy may affect whether the people of these countries are won over and whether hidden dangers will be left behind. Not only are government affairs increasing, but Ying Zheng's pressure is also increasing day by day.

Besides dealing with the government affairs of these countries, there are also some things that need Ying Zheng to worry about.

If the Qin Guo were content with the status quo and thought that destroying these countries was enough, then that would be it.

Ying Zheng has always been extremely ambitious. He wants to destroy the Six States and unify the world. Now, the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Yan have been destroyed, and there are still three countries left. Ying Zheng obviously cannot let them go.

Su Xuan said: "I know, Your Majesty probably won't agree to persuade Your Majesty to give up dealing with government affairs. However, I do have a way to resolve some of the hidden illnesses in Your Majesty's body!"

"Oh? Could it be with the help of elixirs?" Ying Zheng asked Su Xuan curiously.

When Su Xuan first appeared in the State of Han, although he was famous for calling the wind and rain, he truly gained the trust of the King of Han by relying on that miraculous art of alchemy and medicine.

Su Xuan shook his head and said: "Elixirs can only treat the symptoms. Although taking them can temporarily alleviate Your Majesty's hidden illnesses, if you take elixirs for a long time, it will only make the body develop drug resistance."

"I am talking about cultivation!"

Su Xuan looked at Ying Zheng and said: "I can impart the path of cultivation to Your Majesty!"

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 for seclusion and cultivation!"

Ying Zheng saw Su Xuan's strength in his eyes. To say he was not envious would be impossible.

But as he said, he worried about government affairs, and he felt that the time for dealing with government affairs was not enough. Where would he have so much time for cultivation? Not to mention, this kind of cultivation method of Su Xuan's often required seclusion.

"If Your Majesty is pursuing immortality, then seclusion and hard cultivation are inevitable. But conversely, if it is just to strengthen the body, then there is no need for such a long time. Your Majesty only needs to spend two quarters of an hour every day to cultivate..." Su Xuan explained to Ying Zheng.

Two quarters of an hour, Ying Zheng could spare that.

Listening to Su Xuan's words, he could not help but nod gently.

At the same time, the first half of what Su Xuan said also attracted his attention. "Mr. Su, can cultivation really lead to immortality?"

A long time ago, Ying Zheng had asked Su Xuan whether 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.

Now that Su Xuan mentioned the word "immortality" again, Ying Zheng could not help but ask curiously.

Su Xuan said in a deep voice: "If it were before, I would still give that answer. I cannot give Your Majesty an answer and can only wait until later to answer Your Majesty's question. But now, after this seclusion, I can already give Your Majesty an answer!"

"Cultivation can indeed lead to immortality!"

After hearing the affirmative answer, even though Ying Zheng had already said that he did not have much time for cultivation, his eyes still lit up. He firmly believed that Su Xuan would not shoot without a target. Since Su Xuan said that cultivation could lead to immortality, then it must be able to lead to immortality.

This is a path to immortality!
