Su Yu drank tea for a long time before he slowly spoke to Nangong Ce.

"There are so many countries in this world, why did you choose Dongyue, and why did you choose me?"

Nangong Ce said calmly, "I just happened to flee to Dongyue and have no other choice. I have no other choice but to choose Dongyue and Your Majesty."

"You are honest!" Su Yu sneered, "But how can I believe that the magic pill you made can prolong my life?"

"I guess your majesty is taking the divine elixir that belongs to the Non-Nangong Divine Sect right now?"

"So what?"

Nangong Ce said: "All the magic pills in this world are made by imitating the magic pills of Nangong Divine Sect. Even if the most powerful pharmacist can smell some of the medicinal ingredients in the magic pill, the magic pill is for human consumption after all. One more or one less will cause extremely serious damage to the human body."

Su Yu sneered, "Are you saying that the doctors around me who made magic pills for me are all liars? The magic pills they made are useless?"

Nangong Ce said politely, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but it is indeed true."

Su Yu asked disdainfully: "How do you know that the magic pill I took is useless?"

"Your Majesty, I see that the dark circles under your eyes are caused by the poisonous elixir you took. When you first take this elixir, it will make you feel a hundred times more energetic, as if you have endless strength."

"But this phenomenon is just an illusion and cannot last too long. In two days at most, or one day at least, Your Majesty will feel weaker than before. Over time, Your Majesty's energy will be exhausted, which will be harmful to the dragon body."

When Su Yu heard this, his face became gloomy. He quickly asked Jin Zhong to bring a bronze mirror to take a look. Sure enough, his eye sockets were black.

When I think about how after taking the magic pills, I feel energetic at first, but then I become listless, until I need to keep taking the magic pills to maintain my previous energy.

Thinking of this, Su Yu threw the bronze mirror and called the eunuch who was waiting outside the Zichen Hall.

"Go to the Imperial Hospital and take out those doctors recruited from the public. Chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"

When the eunuch who received the order left trembling with fear, Su Yu hurriedly asked Nangong Ce: "Then do you have any way to remove the poison in my body?"

"I can help Your Majesty get rid of the poison." Nangong Ce continued.

“I am not talented, but I did use extraordinary means to sit on the position of the leader of Nangong Divine Sect. Although I was not in office for a long time, it was enough for me to memorize all the secret recipes of the Nangong Divine Sect’s magic pills.”

"Therefore, Your Majesty! As long as you can give me a little protection, with the secret recipe of the magic pill I obtained from the Nangong Divine Sect, I can not only remove the poison for Your Majesty, but also prolong your life and make you live as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Besides, with me here, there is no need to worry even if a terrible plague or malaria breaks out again among the people of Dongyue. After all, the prescriptions I have are enough to cure these diseases."

Su Yu heard this and nodded with satisfaction: "Then can you make a longevity pill?"

Nangong Ce's eyes paused, but he quickly nodded and said yes.

Su Yu saw the panic that flashed across Nangong Ce's face, and couldn't help but frown and shouted, "How dare you lie to me?"

Nangong Ce quickly replied: "I did not lie to Your Majesty. I have the secret recipe for the longevity pill and will definitely make it for Your Majesty."

Su Yu sneered and said, "If you can make a longevity pill, why did you look so frightened just now?"

Nangong Ce quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Yu, saying, "Your Majesty, I was not panicking just now because I don't know how to make the longevity pill."

Su Yu asked: "Why is that?"

Nangong Ce said: "Your Majesty should have inquired about it. There are only three longevity pills left in this world, right?"

Su Yu said nothing, but his slightly narrowed eyes clearly showed that he had indeed heard it.

"That's just a rumor." Nangong Ce said, "It's just a rumor that there are only three longevity pills left in the world. I asked my disciples to spread this news to various countries."

"The reason is very simple. It is just to drive up the price of the longevity pill."

"Oh?" Su Yu said, "I sent someone to give you 600,000 taels to buy the longevity elixir, but you refused it."

Nangong Ce lowered his head almost to the ground, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I once sold the longevity pill to a merchant from Southern Shu for one million taels."

Su Yu was furious when he heard this. He slammed his palm on the table and shouted sternly, "Are you mocking me for being the ruler of a country and not being able to come up with a price? I am not as good as a merchant from Southern Shu?"

"I would never dare to do that! Your Majesty, please calm down! Those were all ways I used to make money. I just want to tell Your Majesty that I have the ability to make longevity pills."

"This longevity elixir can not only prolong your life and make your majesty live forever, but it can also be sold for profit to fill the Dongyue treasury. I only ask your majesty to spare my life. In the future, I will do my best to refine all the elixirs and miraculous medicines that your majesty needs!"

After Nangong Ce finished speaking, he trembled all over and knocked his head heavily on the ground, as if waiting for Su Yu's decision.

Su Yu used a lot of willpower to barely suppress the anger surging in his heart.

Looking back over the past few years, there have been frequent wars, the country has been in turmoil, and the national treasury has long been empty, so that the original cost of 600,000 to buy the magic pill was barely raised by his subordinates selling official positions and titles.

He did not think that he was incompetent, but he felt that the country had to deal with a multitude of tasks every day. Even if he had three heads and six arms, how could he handle everything?

If there was a longevity pill that could strengthen his body and prolong his life, then he would be able to make Dongyue the most powerful country in the world.

"Stand up! This matter is really not your fault. Nangong Shenzong has never been affiliated with any country. At that time, you did have the capital to challenge me."

"I will now appoint you as the Imperial Physician to serve me. I hope you can refine the magic elixir as soon as possible to assist me. I guarantee that no one in the entire Dongyue Kingdom will dare to bully you except me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best to refine the magic elixir and help Your Majesty enjoy eternal youth."

In Prince Yun's Palace, everything was silent.

"The Emperor has appointed Nangong Ce as the Imperial Physician." Huang Xin said, "Nangong Ce, this loser, actually has some skills. In this situation, the Emperor is willing to give him the title of a first-class Imperial Physician."

Su Yuntian on the side said nothing.

As Su Yu grew older, like the setting sun, his desire for the elixir of immortality grew stronger and stronger like a raging fire.

Su Yi went against his will and refused to accept the throne of Dongyue, which further fueled Su Yi's obsession with immortality.

Therefore, he spared no efforts to recruit divine alchemists from all over the country, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, trying to grab every glimmer of hope for immortality.

He swallowed countless magic pills, and the auxiliary ingredients of these magic pills were mostly cinnabar.

Although cinnabar can be used as medicine, excessive use is harmful to the body. These imperial doctors have reported this to Su Yuntian.

According to the imperial physician, if Su Yu had not taken a longevity pill in the past, he would have died of poison long ago just from the large amount of magical pills he swallowed in recent years.

However, how could the imperial physician's good advice stop Su Yu's desire for immortality?

Su Yuntian would not dissuade Su Yi. After all, it was because Su Yi refused to take the throne that Su Yi became obsessed with immortality and continued to occupy the supreme throne.

Thinking that Su Yi only wanted him to live forever and never thought of letting him sit on the throne, Su Yuntian even secretly hoped that Su Yi would eat more poisonous elixirs and die soon. How could he dissuade Su Yi from staying away from those poisons?

At this moment, Su Yuntian was not worried about Su Yu's life or death. The only person he was really worried about was Su Yi.

Su Yi has the support of his grandfather, the Emperor of Southern Shu, so it is extremely difficult for Su Yuntian to take Mu Jin back from him. It is even more difficult to kill Su Yi.
