Chapter 5

"You mean, recently, he has been refining elixir for His Majesty?"

In the General's Mansion, Ji Ji Wuye looked at the person in front of him, and upon hearing the current situation of the master named Su Xuan, his expression changed unpredictably.

"Yes, these past few days, he has been staying in the palace room prepared for him by His Majesty, using refining elixir as an excuse, and has not stepped out even half a step. However, His Majesty has sent him many precious medicinal materials for his use in refining elixir!"

A man dressed in black, with his head lowered, said respectfully to Ji Ji Wuye.

"His Majesty trusts him quite a bit!"

Ji Ji Wuye's words carried a strange tone.

Can he not trust him?

Under the eyes of everyone, summoning wind and rain—this kind of means, even when he thinks about it, makes him feel terrified.

However, even if he is terrified.

Even if that person possesses the ability to summon wind and rain, to him, it is not without weaknesses.

In the end, he is still a person who chose to come out of the mountains for a bounty of ten thousand taels of gold.

Since ten thousand taels of gold can move him, it means that besides the ability to summon wind and rain, he is essentially still a mercenary ordinary person, still having the weaknesses belonging to ordinary people, and can be targeted.

"Let the Tide Enchantress go and meet him!"

"If possible, give him a dose of strong medicine."

"If such a person can be used by me, it would naturally be the best!"

Ji Ji Wuye said to the person in front of him, letting the person in front of him convey the order.

"Yes!"

The man in black, upon hearing Ji Ji Wuye's words, responded while his heart felt a chill.

He did not expect that Ji Ji Wuye would value the man named "Su Xuan" so much, actually choosing to dispatch the Tide Enchantress.

Under Ji Ji Wuye's command, there are four great fierce generals.

They are the Blood-Clad Marquis, the Tide Enchantress, the Emerald Tiger, and the Straw-Cloaked Guest. They weave a huge net for Ji Ji Wuye from the four aspects of military, politics, wealth, and intelligence, like the night curtain, covering the entire State of Han. They are also the foundation of Ji Ji Wuye's power.

Although Ji Ji Wuye cares a lot about the favor of His Majesty, his power does not rely solely on that favor.

Among them, the Tide Enchantress has always been hidden deep in the Wang Gong in the identity of the King of Han's favorite concubine.

Su Xuan naturally did not know that Ji Ji Wuye had already set his sights on him.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all.

During this period, he was addicted to refining elixir and couldn't extricate himself.

Facts have proven that cultivation really consumes resources. At this time, if there is a rich person willing to sponsor him, that would truly be the best thing.

The King of Han, as a king.

Even if the State of Han is the weakest among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, he is a rich person without a doubt.

In the palace of the State of Han, there is no telling how many precious medicinal materials are hidden.

In order to show his regard for Su Xuan, after the King of Han gave the ten thousand taels of gold to Su Xuan, he sent many precious medicinal materials.

With the help of these medicinal materials, Su Xuan identified the pharmacology through the "Medicine" technique he mastered, then refined them into elixir, and then used the Ingestion technique to thoroughly digest the medicinal properties, enhancing his own strength. In just a few days, it was worth more than a month of hard cultivation in the mountains.

It seems incredible, but in reality, it is the most reasonable thing.

Earlier, when Su Xuan was cultivating in the mountains, although he had practiced hard for several years and successfully mastered many Earthly Fiend Daoist arts, it was of a closed-door nature. Even if he occasionally took animal skins to the market to exchange for medicine, how could those medicines compare to the medicinal materials treasured in the palace?

"The rich person is so dedicated, clearly because I can summon wind and rain. But if I can only summon wind and rain, it is clearly not enough to be relied upon by him. Therefore, I need to show greater value!"

After ingesting an elixir and using the Ingestion technique to fully absorb the nutrients, Su Xuan began to refine another type of elixir.

This type of elixir is not for himself to eat, but for the King of Han.

The King of Han is old and indulges in sensual pleasures. Even if Su Xuan were not proficient in the art of observing Qi, just by guessing, he would know that he is physically weak. If he were not physically weak, in the original work, he would not often go to the Tide Enchantress for medicine.

Therefore, Su Xuan prepared to refine a few doses of strong tonic for him, or rather... strong medicine.

The reason it is called strong medicine is because this type of medicine, although it will temporarily stimulate the activity of the King of Han's body, allowing him to recover to a peak state, this state cannot last. Essentially, it is consuming his latent vitality.

Once this medicine is taken, it must be taken persistently. If one day the medicine is cut off.

Then all the hidden diseases in the body will erupt at the same time, and the King of Han might die because of it.

It is also because Su Xuan sees that the State of Han does not have many years of national destiny left that he chose to refine this type of elixir.

In the alchemy furnace, the furnace fire was burning fiercely.

Su Xuan sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, occasionally throwing a few pieces of firewood into it.

He appeared extremely patient.
