Outside the palace, Ji Ming's screams came again.
Li Shui sighed slightly and thought, "This is what Ying Zheng is doing to himself."
Ji Ming had been against him before, insisting that Mr. Fu Yao was unconscious. Although when he went to check later, Fu Yao was already awake. But this does not mean that Ying Zheng thinks Ji Ming is lying.
They, master and servant, have been together for many years and know everything about them. His trust level is much higher than that of a warlock like himself who talks a lot about things.
It's just that Ying Zheng thought that he had magical powers and needed to be comforted, so he punished Ji Ming.
That's why it's whipping rather than beheading. As long as you have skill in whipping, you can hit it very loudly without causing much damage.
Li Shui was thinking, who knew that Ying Zheng was very good at observing people's emotions, so he said meaningfully: "Huai Guzi, why are you sighing?"
Li Shui was stunned for a moment, and then replied casually: "I, I am kind-hearted and can't bear to hear people being tortured."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "I see, I never thought you would plead for Ji Ming."
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "What I mean is... just pull him away and hit him, so that I don't hear him."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Ying Zheng looked at the little maid beside him. The maid went out and gave instructions. After a while, Ji Ming's screams could no longer be heard.
But Li Shui was sure that this guy must still be beaten. There is no need for Ying Zheng to lie to himself about such a trivial matter.
After dealing with Ji Ming casually, the conversation returned to the main topic.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Can you refine the elixir of immortality?"
Li Shui said respectfully: "Since I came to the palace, I have been refining the elixir of immortality every day, but I have repeatedly failed. I didn't know why before, but after treating Mr. Fu Yao, I suddenly figured it out."
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What does it have to do with Fu Yao?"
Li Shui said: "I refined the elixir of longevity and failed many times. However, I succeeded in refining alcohol. From this, I discovered that refining elixirs should proceed from easy to difficult. The elixir of longevity is too complicated, and my ability is still there. It’s not enough, you need to practice more.”
"This is like a three-year-old child who first learns to walk and then to run. Why not, I will refine other elixirs first, the longevity elixir, and then you can work on it slowly. Don't worry, Your Majesty, other elixirs will also have the effect of prolonging life. "
Ying Zheng felt itchy in his heart after hearing this, but he could only ask patiently: "According to your estimation, when will the Immortality Pill be ready?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "It can take as little as three to five years, or as long as several decades."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "That's all, immortality is not easy, I can wait. After you go back, you should work hard to refine the elixir and don't slack off."
Li Shui agreed and then waited quietly.
However, Ying Zheng said no more.
The little palace maid next to her whispered to Li Shui: "Master Huai, please come with me."
Li Shui was anxious: "What? Are you going to see off guests?"
He laughed dryly, looked at Ying Zheng flatteringly, and said, "Your Majesty, this is my reward..."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Huai Guzi, you are quite interesting. I have given you a mansion and a thousand acres of fertile land. Are you satisfied?"
Li Shui's heart suddenly beat loudly. For a poor man who couldn't afford a house in his previous life, a mansion was equivalent to a super luxurious villa.
However, this is not what he really wants. So he coughed dryly and said, "My lord, I dare to want something else."
"Oh? What is it?" Ying Zheng looked at him with interest.
Li Shui said with some embarrassment: "Gold medal for immunity from death."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "A gold medal to avoid death?"
Li Shui's heart beat: "This thing hasn't appeared before, has it?"
He had no choice but to explain: "I have special skills, so I will inevitably be jealous of others. I am straightforward, and I will offend others unintentionally. If they wantonly frame me and make me guilty... My death is a small matter, but it delays the serious matter of alchemy." ah."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui with a half-smile but not a smile: "You think long-term. That's all. You have done a great job in rescuing Fu Yao. Such a reward is not an exaggeration. Go back and wait for a day or two, and I will order someone to make a piece of it." I’ll give you a death-free medal.”
Li Shui was very excited and thanked him repeatedly.
Qin Lu was imprisoned at every turn. Being in jail was like onychomycosis, one infected two people. It would be great to have a death-free gold medal. The powerful protection can prevent the disaster of jail.
After thanking him, Li Shui coughed again and asked, "Now that I have the gold medal to avoid death, can you still give me a mansion and a thousand acres of fertile land?"
Ying Zheng was a little speechless, waved his hand and said, "I'll give it to you, you can go."
Afterwards, Ying Zheng ordered the little palace maid to take Li Shui out.
On the way out, the little palace maid kept stealing glances at Li Shui, thinking: "This person dares to ask the king for a gold medal to avoid death? He only asks for a gold medal to avoid death, but he also dares to ask for farmland in his mansion. Really? How audacious.”
After Li Shui left Ying Zheng's palace, he walked around and finally found Ji Ming in a corner.
He lay on the ground, still being whipped.
At that time, Ying Zheng only said "fight again" but did not say how much. It is estimated that the executioner did not dare to stop.
At this time, the strong man who beat the person was already sweating profusely from exhaustion. When he saw Li Shui approaching, he quickly bowed and said, "Does your Majesty have an order? Can Ji Ming's flogging be stopped?"
Li Shui waved his hand and said: "The king has not given any orders, continue."
Then, Ji Ming's screams sounded again.
Li Shui shook his head, covered his ears, and said to himself: "It's too cruel, I can't bear to hear it."
Then he left quickly.
Ji Ming lay on the ground and looked at Li Shui's back resentfully. At the same time, he thought sadly: "My butt has turned into a ball of rotten meat, why do I still have to beat it? Could it be...could it be that the king has forgotten me?"
…………
Li Shui lost his way. The Qin Palace was very big, with halls and courtyards everywhere.
The little palace maid had gone back a long time ago. Now it was getting late and there was no one to guide her. Li Shui soon became confused.
I asked several guards one after another, and each one pointed in a different direction.
Li Shui waited until the sky was slightly bright before returning to the Yingxian Hall exhausted.
He yawned and couldn't wait to lie down and sleep.
Who knew that just as Li Shui walked to the alchemy room, a group of people suddenly came up. In the blink of an eye, Li Shui was surrounded.
Li Shui was startled. When he looked carefully, he saw that these people were all alchemists.
Li Shui was immediately frightened: "What? Are these alchemists going to avenge Lu Lie? It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands. I'm afraid I'm going to fall down today."
However, the alchemists did not take action. Instead, they knelt on the ground and said with great admiration: "Master Huaiguzi, you are truly a god. We admire you endlessly. Please accept us as your disciples."
These people were frightened when they saw Lu Lie being tortured to death by Li Shui. Moreover, after many years of seeking to visit the Immortal Mountain without success, I felt a little disheartened. Now I see that Huaiguzi seems to possess immortal skills, so I want to come and learn from the experience and get clues to the Immortal Mountain.
Therefore, these alchemists shamelessly came to become their disciples.
However, Li Shui became furious and punched and kicked the alchemists: "Fart, who is your master? Whose disciples are you? I, Huai Guzi, and other alchemists are not in the same boat."
Li Shui beat him up, and then walked away, cursing as he walked: "Sooner or later, you are going to seek death, and you still want to drag me into the water, but there is no door. I don't ask any questions, and I, Li Shui, have always been the one holding the back." Yes, who can use me as a backer?"
