Gu Shanhe smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation:

"This is this seat's temporary residence, a bit simple, if you don't mind, you can go in and take a look."

Simple?

Looking at the "Glazed Immortal Mansion" in front of them, which was colorful and naturally formed, everyone's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

If this is called simple, then what is Xianyang Palace? A thatched cottage?

Ying Zheng calmed down, suppressed the shock in his heart, and stepped forward first,

"It is my honor to be able to see the Immortal Residence."

Gu Shanhe walked to the huge, clean-as-a-mirror "glazed" door (actually a smart induction tempered glass door, with special effects on the appearance), and the door slid open automatically to both sides without sound.

This again caused a burst of low exclamations.

Stepping into the "Immortal Mansion," the scene inside made this group of ancients fall into a stupor again.

The ground was paved with unknown, smooth-as-a-mirror, delicately textured "jade" (marble tiles), reflecting people.

The top was not beams and rafters, but flat "jade boards" (ceilings), inlaid with dozens of "bright pearls" (LED ceiling lights) emitting soft and bright white light, illuminating the room as bright as day, without the smoke of candles, and without the strange smell of grease.

"This... these bright pearls on the top, why can they emit light themselves? And be so stable and bright?"

Eldest son Fu Su was young after all, couldn't help but ask curiously, his voice trembling.

Gu Shanhe said casually: "This is a 'Long-lasting Lamp,' refined with immortal law, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and can shine for a thousand years without extinguishing."

Well, in theory, solar panels plus LED lights, as long as they don't break, can shine for decades, saying they won't extinguish for a thousand years... is not completely fooling them.

"Hiss... won't extinguish for a thousand years!" Everyone gasped again.

The living room was spacious, with strangely shaped "jade seats" (fabric sofas) and "low tables" (coffee tables), with soft materials and smooth lines.

The walls were snow-white, hanging with several "ink paintings" (printed matter) with freehand brushwork and distant artistic conception.

On one side, there were spiraling "jade steps" (stairs), leading to the upper floor.

Ying Zheng's gaze was quickly attracted by a tall, equally "glazed" door cabinet in the corner.

The cabinet was white, square, and was currently making a very slight, continuous "buzzing" sound.

"National Teacher, what is this?" Ying Zheng pointed to the "cabinet" and asked.

"This object is called 'Ice Mirror Immortal Box',"

Gu Shanhe walked over, pulled open the refrigerator door, and a cold air came out,

"Built-in cold ice formation, can keep food fresh and clean, not rot for years."

Saying that, he took out two bottles of mineral water (put in in advance) and handed them to Ying Zheng and Fu Su.

"This is the 'Sweet Dew of the Immortal World,' clear and thirst-quenching, Your Majesty and the Young Master can taste it."

Ying Zheng and Fu Su took the transparent "crystal bottle" (plastic bottle), felt cold to the touch, looked at the clear liquid inside, and looked at the frost condensed on the inner wall of the "Ice Mirror Immortal Box," and believed in the "cold ice formation" deeply.

The two unscrewed the bottle cap, Gu Shanhe demonstrated simply, and tasted a small sip carefully.

The water quality was clear and sweet, far exceeding the best spring water in the palace, and this "crystal bottle" and bottle cap were also exquisitely crafted.

"Immortal object, truly extraordinary!" Ying Zheng praised.

It was early summer, and the room was a bit stuffy in the afternoon.

But in this "Immortal Mansion," everyone felt an inexplicable, just-right coolness, not like the damp cold of a cellar, but like a spring breeze.

"National Teacher, why is it so cool and pleasant here? As if there is a breeze coming."

Li Si also couldn't help but ask; he was the Chancellor, knowledgeable, but had never seen such a situation.

Gu Shanhe pointed to a flat, white object with grilles above the wall (air conditioning outlet)

"This is 'Clear Wind Jade Talisman,' which can adjust the cold and heat of the room, like spring all year round."

Well, central air conditioning, no problem.

"Like spring all year round..."

Everyone repeated, looking at the "Clear Wind Jade Talisman" as if looking at a divine artifact.

Then, Gu Shanhe showed them the kitchen (simple modern style, stainless steel sink, gas stove—of course, no gas, but the shape was bluffing).

The bathroom (the flush toilet and shower equipment caused shock again, Gu Shanhe explained it as "Clean Dust Jade Pot" and "Dharma Artifact of Pouring Wisdom"), and the study and bedroom on the second floor.

Every place was full of "Immortal creations" that ancients could not understand:

"Jade faucet" (water faucet) that releases water with a gentle twist

"Clean body basin" (ceramic washbasin) as smooth as jade

"Cloud bed" (Simmons mattress) as soft as clouds...

Fu Su even stared at a huge, clear mercury glass mirror (actually a modern glass mirror) on the bedroom wall for a long time, and was startled by himself in the mirror.

The whole tour process, this group of the top power holders of the Great Qin Empire, was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, or like children seeing the world for the first time, constantly exclaiming, constantly asking childish and curious questions.

Gu Shanhe dealt with it with concepts like "Immortal Law," "Formation," "Talisman," "Dharma Artifact," etc., becoming more and more unfathomable.

After the tour, returned to the living room on the first floor.

Everyone was still immersed in the huge shock and novel excitement, suddenly—

"Gurgle..."

A loud and abrupt stomach growl broke the silence in the "Immortal Mansion."

The source of the sound was Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the main sofa.

A trace of extremely rare embarrassment flashed across Ying Zheng's majestic face.

He had been busy with the morning court since getting up, and then experienced a series of heart-shaking events such as the immortal descending, shock, and tour, and had long passed the lunch hour, his stomach empty.

This stomach growl was truly the most honest reaction of the body.

For a time, the atmosphere in the living room was a bit subtle.

Li Si, Wang Jian, and others looked at their noses and hearts, pretending not to hear.

Fu Su looked at his father with some worry.

Gu Shanhe almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, he held back his immortal demeanor in time.

He thought rapidly, since he wants to maintain the "Immortal" persona and pull closer the relationship, showing some "Immortal World fireworks" seems good.

Treat them to a big meal?

Too much trouble.

The system supermarket has everything, but it's troublesome to make and troublesome to explain.

Got it!

Gu Shanhe smiled mysteriously: "It seems Brother Zheng and everyone haven't eaten yet."

"Meeting is fate, this seat will treat you with some ordinary food from the 'Immortal World,' I hope you don't mind it being simple."

Immortal World food?!

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, the embarrassment vanished, and the expectation was beyond words.

Li Si and others behind him also instantly perked up, looking at Gu Shanhe with eager eyes.

Immortal food, can it be ordinary stuff?

Gu Shanhe turned and walked into the kitchen (avoiding everyone's sight), muttered in his heart, and took out more than a dozen buckets of the most common—braised beef noodles from the system supermarket's materials.

He also took out a stainless steel kettle, connected a pot of water from the villa's own water storage system, and placed it on the strangely shaped "stove" (gas stove, didn't turn on the fire, just made a show).

In fact, he secretly took out two pots of freshly boiled water directly from the space supermarket.

He carried the tray with more than a dozen buckets of braised beef noodles and placed it on the large coffee table in the center of the living room.

The brightly colored packaging, the strange plastic material, and the tempting beef noodle picture on it attracted everyone's attention again.

"This object is called 'Immortal Meal Treasure Noodle,' also known as 'Braised Beef Noodles'."

Gu Shanhe bluffed seriously,

"It is made by the Immortal World's kitchen using the powder of spiritual wheat, supplemented by rare spices and the bone broth of immortal birds, concentrated and refined."

"When eating, just soak it in boiling water for a while, and you can enjoy it, convenient and delicious."

As he spoke, he picked up a bucket, tore open the packaging, took out the noodle cake, seasoning packet, oil packet, vegetable packet, and displayed them one by one.

"This is the spiritual wheat noodle cake, this is the concentrated immortal soup, this is the fragrant immortal oil, this is the dehydrated spiritual vegetable..."

Everyone watched intently, only feeling that the noodle cake shape was regular, the seasoning packet had a faint fragrance, and everything was full of immortal atmosphere.

Gu Shanhe put the noodle cake into the bucket, sprinkled the seasoning packet, and then picked up a thermos (the exterior was treated with an ancient style).

"This is the 'Rootless Immortal Water' boiled by 'Samadhi True Fire'."

Saying that, he poured the boiling water into the noodle bucket, just covering the noodle cake, and then picked up the matching plastic fork (which he said was the "Meal-Eating Jade Dagger") and covered the paper lid.

"Wait a moment, let the immortal soup and spiritual wheat fully fuse."
