Thousands of miles away from the Southern Shu Kingdom, in the Dongyue Imperial Palace, Jin Zhong was walking towards Su Yu from outside the Purple Palace, holding a brocade box and a letter.

"Your Majesty, Nangong Ce has sent you another letter, but this time, along with the letter, there is also a longevity pill."

Hearing Jinzhong say this, Su Yu sneered. He had expected from the beginning that Nangong Ce would give him the longevity elixir in the end.

Su Yu took the longevity elixir from Jinzhong's hand. As for the letter, he knew what was written in it without even reading it. It was nothing more than seeking protection from Dongyue, with the condition that he would enter the Huang Palace of Dongyue to refine a magic elixir for him that could prolong his life.

Opening the brocade box, Su Yu took out a magic pill from it. The magic pill was dark ink in color and gave off a faint medicinal fragrance.

Su Yu was very familiar with the scent of this medicine, which made the corners of his mouth curl up unconsciously.

Su Yu had eaten the longevity elixir before. A few years ago, on his Christmas Day, the magistrate of Heyang County presented him with a longevity elixir made from Nangong Shenzong's elixir.

Back then, people from the Nangong Divine Sect also presented the magic pill as tribute together with the Heyang prefect.

However, the magic pill presented by Emperor Nangong Shenzong was scarlet red, while the magic pill presented by the magistrate of Heyang County was dark ink-black.

Nangong Shenzong's magic pills have always had miraculous effects. They can relieve fatigue and restore energy in a short period of time. They are truly rare treasures.

Nangong Divine Sect’s magic elixir can be described as a rare treasure. In this world, there is only Nangong Divine Sect’s magic elixir.

However, the Nangong Divine Sect's magic pills are never sold to the outside world. Without the generous gift from the Nangong Sect Master, even if there were an army of 100,000 to attack the Nangong Divine Sect, they would not be able to obtain even half a magic pill from the Nangong Divine Sect.

When Su Yu received the magic pill from Nangong Shenzong on Christmas that year, he couldn't wait to take it directly.

The longevity elixir presented by the prefect of Heyang was given to Jinzhong to be tested by the eunuchs.

However, Su Yu did not pay much attention to the magic pill presented by the governor of Heyang that year. After all, in his opinion, no matter how you compare the magic pills in the world, they would not be as good as the magic pill presented to him by Nangong Shenzong.

Just a few days later, Jinzhong was overjoyed and handed the longevity elixir presented by the Heyang prefect to Su Yu, and told him that the longevity elixir presented by the Heyang prefect was even more magical than the elixir presented by Nangong Shenzong.

Later, after Su Yu heard Jinzhong's story about the origin of the longevity elixir that the Heyang prefect had presented as a tribute, he realized that he had almost missed out on this rare treasure.

It turned out that the eunuch who was testing the medicine tried the magic pill that the governor of Heyang brought into the palace, and he actually grew a beard overnight, and even the thing below him recovered its function.

For fear of being castrated again, the eunuch who was testing the medicine actually concealed the effectiveness of the magic pill.

Until one night, when the eunuch who was testing drugs was on duty outside Su Yi's palace, he heard the sound of Su Yi and his concubines performing the Zhougong ritual. His body's instincts ran wild like a wild horse, and he lost all his reason.

Taking advantage of the night, he pounced on her like a hungry tiger, and abducted a palace maid to have sex with her in the imperial garden.

If the Imperial Guards had not patrolled the Imperial Garden, discovered the strange phenomenon in the rockery cave, and captured the eunuch who was testing the medicine, the miraculous effect of the longevity elixir brought by the Heyang prefect would have been buried.

After that, Su Yu knew the miraculous effect of the longevity pill and took it immediately. Not only did his white hair turn black, he also had sex with countless women at night without getting tired, and even the illness that had plagued him for many years was cured like a miracle without any medicine.

Afterwards, Su Yu personally summoned the governor of Heyang, and only then did he know the origin of the longevity pill.

It turned out that this longevity elixir was actually sold by Nangong Ce at an auction in Xiliang Kingdom with a sky-high price of 300,000 taels of silver.

Finally, this precious longevity pill was bought by the prefect of Heyang for a huge sum of 500,000 taels and presented to Su Yu.

When Su Yu received such a huge gift, he did not inquire into how a sixth-rank official could afford to spend 500,000 taels to purchase a magical elixir. Instead, he specially approved the Heyang prefect to be the third-rank Chief Censor.

Over the years, Su Yu had sent people to Nangong Divine Sect to buy the longevity elixir, but unfortunately the longevity elixir was made from the essence and blood of the successive masters of Nangong Divine Sect.

As a result, the longevity pills are not only scarce but also extremely precious. Even in the Nangong Divine Sect, there are only the last three left.

Su Yu also sent his subordinates with high martial arts skills to Nangong Shenzong to seize it. However, there was a long maze leading to Nangong Shenzong's mansion, which was like a copper wall and iron wall, indestructible.

Anyone who is not a member of the Nangong Divine Sect will die instantly once they enter, without exception.

Faced with Nangong Shenzong's tight defense, Su Yu could only stand back and do nothing.

Some time ago, we learned that Nangong Ce had betrayed his master and ancestors for so many years, and murdered the former leader and his wife and the young master of Nangong Divine Sect. Unexpectedly, the young master Nangong survived in the end and even got in touch with the elders of Nangong Divine Sect.

Afterwards, the people of Nangong Divine Sect surrounded Nangong Ce, but he escaped. So Nangong Divine Sect issued a hunting order to the martial arts world, claiming that anyone who could kill Nangong Ce would receive a longevity pill.

As soon as this order was issued, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves. The entire martial arts world suddenly fell into madness, and everyone launched a crazy hunt for Nangong Ce.

But somehow, Nangong Ce actually escaped to the Kingdom of Dongyue and presented a letter of surrender to Su Yu.

It was an open secret in the entire Dongyue court that Su Yu liked to take magic pills. Nangong Ce must have known the secret, so he claimed in his letter of allegiance that as long as Su Yu protected him, he would develop a magic pill to make Su Yu live a long life.

Su Yu was delighted to see Nangong Ce's pledge of allegiance. As he grew older, the wheel of time mercilessly left its mark on him. He really did urgently need someone like Nangong Ce to develop a magic elixir for him to prolong his life.

After all, who doesn't have a deep desire for immortality?

However, Su Yu's resentment towards Nangong Ce is deep-rooted, and he is still brooding over the fact that Nangong Ce refused to sell the longevity elixir a few years ago.

He was also filled with indignation over the tragic deaths of countless secret guards he had carefully trained in the dense forest of Nangong Divine Sect, so how could he easily accept Nangong Ce's surrender?

Therefore, he has always ignored Nangong Ce and watched from the sidelines, just wanting to see how sincere Nangong Ce is.

"Let Nangong Ce in." Looking at the longevity pill in his hand, Su Yu finally spoke to Jinzhong.

Jinzhong bowed to Su Yu and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, I will go to Xuannan Palace to meet you right away." After Jinzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left the Zichen Hall.

After a while, Jinzhong led a man into the Zichen Hall.

The man was tall and had his head slightly lowered, so Su Yu could not see his appearance.

After entering the Zichen Hall, the man knelt in the center of the hall and saluted Su Yu.

"I, Nangong Ce, pay my respects to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good health and happiness."

Su Yu sat on the dragon chair, picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip, then said slowly, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." After saying this, Nangong Ce stood up and looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Nangong Ce really didn't know his place. He actually dared to look at him like that.

Su Yu thought that Nangong Ce must not be ignorant of etiquette, but after becoming the leader of Nangong Divine Sect in recent years, he was accustomed to being sought after by powerful people from various countries. Even though he looked as miserable as a stray dog ​​at this moment, it was difficult to conceal his original temper.
