Chapter 188 The Story of the White Snake
Ying Zheng's eyes widened instantly, and he began to pant heavily.
Yes, Mr. Tang told him that it is impossible for a person to live forever, to become an immortal, to live eternally, and even more impossible to live forever.
Mr. Tang had told him all of this, so Ying Zheng absolutely trusted Tang Yu. He knew that Mr. Tang would never lie to him.
Moreover, through his own experience and the time he spent with Tang Yu, he discovered that Tang Yu gets tired, thirsty, and hungry.
Similarly, Tang Yu's physical condition would also change due to insufficient rest.
He concluded that these so-called gods were just ordinary humans.
They may have lived longer, but they could never be immortal.
Thus, Ying Zheng also abandoned the idea of immortality in his heart.
However, Tang Yu then told him that although people cannot live forever, they can extend their lifespan and achieve longevity.
You can die later, but you can't live forever.
Ying Zheng always regarded Tang Yu's words as a golden rule.
Therefore, he never stays up late to review memorials, nor does he get so angry that he loses his temper.
I don't usually eat any random or irrational things.
All food and water should be kept to a minimum to bring the body to a safe state.
Therefore, Mr. Tang's lifespan was extended by 30 years.
But what he didn't expect was that Tang Yu could actually help him extend his lifespan, how could he refuse?
What solutions does Mr. Tang have?
Could you please extend my life?
Isn't this intelligent medical ward, as Mr. Tang said, already the culmination of technology in the world he lives in?
How can there be a way to prolong life?
Tang Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this technological achievement is not the achievement of the world."
You should know that besides things measured by science and technology, there are also things measured by mystery.
When Fengyun thought of this, he thought of its system.
He really didn't know whether the system was equivalent to a scientifically tested item or a mysteriously tested item.
However, considering the system's functions and effects, Tang Yu felt that it was equivalent to both scientific testing and mystery testing.
It has a bit of a tech vibe.
However, what has occurred does not conform to several fundamental laws of science and technology.
Newton's laws and the law of conservation of energy are all nonsense in the face of a system, but why does it feel like a technological creation?
Tang Yu ignored the system's affairs.
He simply addressed Ying Zheng, saying, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the giant white snake carcass that was sent back last time?"
"of course I remember."
After returning from Tang Yu last time, Ying Zheng wanted to remind Tang Yu about the white snake's corpse.
However, he discovered that Mr. Tang had never stopped moving since he returned, and had been constantly traveling and running around.
Knowing that Mr. Tang must have something extremely important to do, otherwise he wouldn't be so busy, they didn't remind Tang Yu.
Tang Yu brought it up himself, which shows he's become interested.
"Could it be that Mr. Tang is saying that this method of prolonging life is related to the corpse of that white snake?"
"Your Majesty is truly exceptionally intelligent."
Hearing Tang Yu's half-hearted praise, Ying Zheng's lips twitched.
No one had praised him so perfunctorily since his tutor in the State of Zhao left his home.
However, seeing Tang Yu's expression, Ying Zheng nodded.
That won't do. This is Mr. Tang's praise, unlike the perfunctory compliments of others. I must accept it.
"Your Majesty, if the white snake's corpse is processed by me, I can obtain some elixirs that can prolong life."
As he finished speaking, Tang Yu's tone became somewhat hesitant.
It should be noted that he himself told Ying Zheng in the beginning that the elixir was problematic and poisonous.
Now that he can refine the white snake's corpse into pills, he's almost losing his composure.
But thinking about the effects of this pill, Tang Yu couldn't hold back any longer.
This pill was actually a reward from the system to Tang Yu after he obtained the consent of the Mo family members to act during the day.
The name of this reward is "Fully Automatic Single Pill Refining Machine".
Yes, it sounds a bit mystical, but it's still measured using science.
It's fully automated, and the alchemy machine has a West Coast style that gives it a cyberpunk feel, like it's for cultivating electronic immortals.
The only effect of this is to refine the white snake's corpse into a pill.
Each pill can increase the strength of qi and blood, making one immune to all diseases and extending lifespan by 5 years. The maximum number of pills that can be taken is 5.
However, if the person taking it is Ying Zheng, the system will specifically indicate that special effects will occur.
This is why Tang Yu came to find Ying Zheng.
"Elixir?"
"I remember Mr. Tang saying that these pills were meant to harm me. Could it be that Mr. Tang intends to do something indecent to me?"
No, I must take down Mr. Tang first.
Ying Zheng pretended to be nervous and stepped back, while wearing a smug expression on his face.
Tang Yu glanced at him speechlessly: "Your Majesty is right. In that case, I won't share the pills with Your Majesty. I'll use them all by myself."
"Mr. Tang, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Seeing Ying Zheng immediately back down, Tang Yu nodded.
"Your Majesty, from now on, only my pills are safe to take. Taking other people's pills will be fatal. Your Majesty must remember this."
Ying Zheng nodded; he naturally knew.
Perhaps what Mr. Tang said earlier about the problem with the pills was not that the pills themselves were the problem.
After all, in the Qin Dynasty, many things were made into the shape of medicine rings.
In ancient times, medicines were difficult to preserve, and these were ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, rolling the residue into pills makes them extremely easy to preserve and transport.
This is why elixirs became popular.
"Your Majesty, do you know the origin of this white snake?"
"What is the origin of the White Snake?"
"I heard from Mr. Tang last time that this white snake seems to be the founding object of the Han Dynasty, the next dynasty of our Qin Kingdom?"
"Or perhaps it is the embodiment of the Han Dynasty's destiny? I wonder if Mr. Tang could offer an explanation for this claim?"
Ying Zheng also looked puzzled, feeling somewhat undecided.
Ying Zheng originally believed in this mysterious and absurd claim.
However, ever since Tang Yu came into this world and explained materialism to him, Ying Zheng has become less convinced.
But since it was Mr. Tang who said it, there must be a reason behind it.
Ying Zheng nodded, his tone very firm.
This is the trust of Ying Zheng's teammate, Tang Yu.
He felt that everything Mr. Tang did had its reasons; otherwise, he wouldn't be Mr. Tang.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu raised his head seriously and said:
"Your Majesty, how about I tell you a story, a story about this white snake?"
