In the 33rd year of Emperor Shihuang, Ji Zhong entered the Qin court. Emperor Shihuang summoned him and was expelled to serve as the Chief Secretary. He and his fellow alchemists prepared immortal medicines.

A group of exquisite palaces sit on each other, the corridors are back, the ladders are connected, the smoke is shrouded in the fragrance, like the fairy palace, Wu Ming was assigned to a separate room, and there are maids and eunuchs to serve.

"Tsk tsk, the teacher is quite good at it." Wu Ming tskated lightly. Not long ago, Ji Zhong had just arrived in Xianyang City, and someone was waiting here early. He was a famous alchemist. Then the teacher was led to the Qin Emperor Palace with a smile. When it was late at night, Qin Shihuang actually took the time to summon the teacher in his busy schedule.

Although Wu Ming wanted to see Qin Shihuang with his own eyes, their group of minions who were just disciples were not qualified to see Qin Shihuang, so they could only wait in the side hall.

It was not until Emperor Shiniang finished his question and awarded the position of Shishi Ji as the Grand Historian on the spot that the teacher led a group of disciples to this palace group that specially arranged alchemists.

"It seems that the teacher has been away from the truth. Now in the thirty-three years of Emperor Qin Shihuang, the alchemist has not had a few good days. And the hidden luck has almost been exhausted here. If you want to stop the alchemist from 'poisoning' Qin Shihuang, you have to rely on yourself." Wu Ming thought.

He inquired that there were about a thousand alchemists and his disciples living in this palace, and there were military guarding and parades all day long. Foreigners were forbidden to communicate. If you had any questions, you could hand them over to the servants who served them. The requests made by the alchemists were all satisfied in the empire.

The status of Taishi Cheng, who is cheap teacher, is quite good here. Although he is not as good as the top priests, he is also the best among the lowest. As their status has also increased, they have good welfare benefits.

It is just puzzling that the Taishi position specializing in astrology has something to do with refining immortal medicines. Is it necessary to pay attention to the right time and place of the alchemy? Wu Ming secretly complained.

In this way, Wu Ming and his fellow disciples lived here, and went to the teacher's pavilion to study every morning. Ji Zhong passed on all the astrological knowledge to several people without reservation, and the rest of the time would be arranged by his disciples.

Senior Brother Tian kept walking around and made friends with some alchemists and managers. He was very versatile. He even participated in various banquets under the name of communicating his experiences from time to time, and could chat with anyone.

As for Wu Ming, he doesn't have that strong communication skills, so he chooses to "study travel" everywhere to enrich himself.

He keenly found that other alchemists did not seem to refuse others to come to study, including when the teacher gave a lecture, several alchemists came to hear it. Compared to the alchemists in the impression, they were a "scam eating and drinking" flattering group, which gave people a more like a comprehensive and large-scale academic exchange platform.

After asking Senior Brother Tian, ​​Wu Ming realized that the alchemists here all had backgrounds from various schools of thought, with noble identities and outstanding talents.

Xu Fu, who was familiar with later generations, was originally named Xu Shi. His family was once the princes of Xu State. Now he is also a family of Qi. He is very prestigious in the coastal generation and is from the Guiguzi lineage. He is proficient in medicine, astronomy, navigation and other knowledge. He is a top scientist in modern times.

There are countless similar alchemists. You should know that before Chen She and Wu Guang, those who could read were born with noble seeds. The family counted upwards, all five generations were princes. They were all descendants of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the past. It was even more amazing to be a alchemist. Only when the wealthy family was born, they gave you "cultivation of immortals" without any scruples. They specialized in studying things they were interested in, and they could stand the examination of the first emperor. They were all real and capable, and they were impeccable in their behavior. Naturally, they had great scholars and had no white conversations.

These talents gathered together, and under the strict requirements of the First Emperor, there must be no party talks or exchanges with each other. Under the supervision of the ultimate goal of working together to refine elixirs, there are new ideas and new academics born every day, and inspiration is stirring, giving Wu Ming the feeling of comparing the Tsinghua and Peking University Maha and the Central Academy of Sciences.

In this environment, Wu Ming had long left utilitarian ideas such as "main mission" and "earning source Qi" behind him. He cherished this rare opportunity. The top intellectuals, the alchemist, may have had several years of poor knowledge, but their wisdom will not be inferior to those of today's people. This made Wu Ming observe the many secrets of the core of power for the first time, and his vision is expanding.

Here he also saw many strange people and magic.

Wu Ming couldn't help but think deeply. It seems that "Qigong fever" is not groundless. There are always some people with strange abilities such as super brains, sixth senses, and not afraid of fire and lightning.

Several months have passed.

Wu Ming was addicted to learning and could not extricate himself, including astrology and elixirs, and made some achievements.

Someone asked, aren’t these proven pseudoscience? Is it necessary to learn? I can only say that in the face of a different world where the sky is round and the place is contrary to common sense, isn’t its astrology worth learning? Even if there are any wrong places, as the experience is slowly corrected, will it eventually turn into your own knowledge?

Including alchemy, Wu Ming was shocked to find that many alchemy recipes were effective, but the medicinal materials, metal and stones, lacking the support of source Qi, became ordinary. During the alchemy process, it was also impossible to refine real things. This is a real error correction and the inevitable result of extraordinary disillusionment, and the environment does not allow it!

"The Qi refiner in the pre-Qin period, at that time, the environment of the source qi is more active than it is now. The elixir recipe was passed down from ancient times, but now the source qi has been extinguished, so the elixir recipe has failed. With the development of the times, the world environment in this place will only become more and more cruel, and eventually become like the Blue Star."

Wu Ming concluded that he couldn't help but be glad that the current environment has been much better than in the future. At least his spirituality can barely communicate with the outside world. With the alchemy technique, he finally had the confidence to carry out the main mission.

Because Wu Ming can really refine elixirs, and those alchemists cannot refine elixirs in the current environment. In essence, they are just fooling Qin Shihuang. He is a dimensional reduction attack! In a sense, Daluo Palace has a good evaluation. He is indeed a genius in the extraordinary field. As long as the world opens a hole for Wu Ming, he can become an extraordinary person and become a saint.

"Zuo Ci, Zhang Daoling, Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng of the Yuan Dynasty and others are like me. Even if the environment does not allow it, they can still climb the ladder." Wu Ming Youran yearned for it.

Awkward!

Suddenly, a knock came from the door, and Senior Brother Tian shouted: "Junior brother, are you here with Junior Brother Wu Ming? Hou Fangshi came to you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming's expression moved, Shi Shiran opened the door and walked out, bowed with both hands and said, "Senior brother is polite, what's the matter with me?"

Tian Long hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "You are polite, so I should have asked you to have a meeting again."

He said enviously: "Junior brother, you have become famous recently. Senior brother, I have gained some face with you."

Wu Ming smiled indifferently at Tian Long's compliment and did not refuse. He was not good at socializing and did not know many people. He usually relied on the recommendation of his senior brother, and Tian Long also needed "capital" to communicate, and the two became a complementary trend.

Senior Brother Tian led the way in front, and the young man followed calmly, with ancient pavilions and palaces all the way, elegant and beautiful scenery of the rockery and landscape. Every other section of the road, there are silent and majestic black-armored Qin soldiers setting up checkpoints, standing on both sides of the road to verify the identity of the visitor, and being on high alert.

Seeing this, Wu Ming thought, it seemed that Qin Shihuang had learned from his predecessors and was afraid of being fooled and deceived by the alchemists. A certain King of Chu in the Warring States Period asked for the immortal medicine, but was falsified by a gatekeeper. He was directly disgraced and killed the alchemist in anger.

Their current situation may not be much better than their predecessors. Now, the First Emperor will burn books in thirty-three years, and in another year, they will "bury scholars" in two years. In fact, they ordered more than 460 alchemists to be killed in Xianyang by Qin Shihuang.

"Time is tight, I'm going to act quickly." Wu Ming stared at the light curtain in front of him. Alchemy [Introduction] and astrology [Introduction] have already appeared on the expertise column and were recognized by the panel, but he still had to make a good sense and empty the knowledge of many alchemists to be sure.

The two went deep into the palace group and finally came to a strange stone forest. A group of immortals and ethereal and ethereal alchemists sat upright on the stone pier, holding bamboo slips in their hands, talking or smiling, sitting in groups of three or three, as if a group of immortals who were not as good as the world's fireworks were discussing the Tao.

In the middle of the forest, a simple and solemn bronze tripod stands, with exquisite inscriptions and talismans on it, and the belly of the tripod carves the map of mountains, rivers and seas.

After Wu Ming and the others arrived, a middle-aged man in high-ranking clothes who seemed to be quite high came over with a smile, bowed with his hands and said, "But is Wu Fangshi? I'm polite in Hou Jing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming was surprised. Could it be that the person in front of him was the alchemist "Hou Sheng" who left his name in history? He did not dare to be so arrogant and quickly returned the gift.

Senior Brother Tian whispered, "This is a great celebrity in front of the First Emperor. The alchemist gathered together to refine the immortal medicine."

Wu Ming nodded. He now confirmed that he was the alchemist recorded in historical books. Hou Sheng’s “sheng” refers to the meaning of Mr., not his real name, but his real name should be Hou Jing.

The 'Hou Sheng' alchemist was very enthusiastic about Wu Ming, and his eyes were burning, saying, "I heard that the wizard was born in the Wu Zhu family, did you know Wushan?"

Wu Ming, caught off guard, was stunned. What Hou Fangshi said was Wushan recorded in the Shanhai Sutra, which was closely related to the Great Witch. It was the first time that the "Immortal Medicine" appeared, and it was also the origin of the trip to Wushan together.

He could only smile bitterly and said, "Hou Fangshi Gao is here to see it, and the ancestors of Wushan legend have not recorded it."

Hou Jing was a little disappointed, but he was still enthusiastic. He quickly led Wu Ming to the crowd and introduced several superiors who stood out from the crowd: "This is the alchemist Lu Feng, this is the order of Zhao Che Mansion,..."

When Wu Ming heard the big names who left their names in history, he bowed quietly. These people were the leaders of the alchemist group, which also meant that he had finally entered the core of the circle.

Not only did he do nothing for several months, but he used his ability to use spirituality to distinguish the true pills to avoid many detours in the refining of immortal medicines. The modern advanced knowledge naturally revealed is regarded as a promising master in the future. His status has increased and has been introduced into the core circle until now.

Zhao Gao left with a few words of encouragement and went back to report the progress to the First Emperor. There were still several eunuchs in charge who were in charge and asked Hou Jing if he needed any help. He shook his head and walked to the Central Giant Ding to preside over the meeting.

"Every time, Hou Fangshi would gather everyone to ask about the progress of their respective projects, then ask some questions, and arrange for people to solve them." Senior Brother Tian whispered to Wu Ming, and he was extremely excited. You must know that this meeting is confidential in normal times, but I didn't expect that he could participate even after taking advantage of his junior brother's favor.

Wu Ming was thinking, and he saw Master Ji in the crowd, and hurried over to salute and say hello.
Chapter completed!
