Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

Life extension pill!

If this word rings like thunder in everyone's mind, who doesn't want to live a few more years? In the final analysis, what they are striving for is not longevity?

Ling Xiao seemed to be focusing on the pill in his hand, but he could see through the system the desire and passion in the eyes of the people around him.

"Nephew, don't say that your aunt doesn't favor you. Come on, open your mouth."

Before Li Yue could react, he felt a pain in his jaw and his mouth opened involuntarily. The pill entered his lips and turned into a mouthful of fragrant liquid that went straight into his throat.

Gulp, swallow it.

A cry of "Your Majesty" suddenly rang out, reminding everyone to face the facts: the longevity elixir was declared to be owned by the emperor as soon as it came out.

In an instant, the lines at the corners of the emperor's eyes were smoothed out, his cheeks became full and firm, his skin became visibly whiter and full of youthful luster, his rosy lips were slightly open, and his teeth were very white.

The emperor's life has been extended!

Everyone's breath held, and everyone was shocked.

This is a miracle, an incomparable miracle.

If depriving people of their lifespans frightens these superiors of Dajin, then extending their lifespans would make them bow down to him and offer all the treasures in the world to please Ling Xiao.

Li Yue's voice trembled as he stroked his cheek with his fingertips, feeling the return of his lost youth, his heart surging with indescribable emotion.

You know, although he ascended the throne as a teenager, Li Yue is already twenty-six years old, and his eldest child is already ten years old.

Not far from his feet, the head of the Xie family, who looked like a pile of mud, wailed and scratched around in pain with his chicken-claw-like hands.

Watching his own life slip away, unimaginable pain consumed him, in stark contrast to the high-spirited emperor.

Wang Yi didn't know what he felt. He was happy for the emperor, but mostly sour.

Although he finally became the prime minister, he was certainly not the young prime minister that commonly appears in some novels.

In fact, he is already fifty-eight years old! There are white strands in his hair that cannot be covered, and wrinkles quietly climb up his cheeks, which were once known as the Jade Man of Kyoto.

Most of those present here are like Wang Yi, who longs to extend his life but dares not speak out to the emperor.

I can only make up my mind to please Ling Xiao. After all, she looks like a little kid playing, so it should not be difficult to please her.

"Hehe, this longevity pill can at least extend your life by three years," Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.

"Just three years of life?" Li Yue felt a little regretful. The young boy looked a bit pitiful now.

This behavior made the others resentful. Wasn't three years of life enough? They didn't even have the things they urgently needed.

"Why, you think it's not enough? There are solutions..."

The ghost walked briskly to the center of the temple, her voice becoming increasingly sweet and seductive, as she slowly told them that as long as they provided enough human input, she would be able to refine a longevity elixir.

"Just think about it, you only need ordinary people to extend your life by ten, twenty years, or even forever."

The temptation was too great. Every word of Ling Xiao fell into the ears of everyone present, crawling into their hearts like a little snake and then taking root deeply.

Yes, it’s just that we need people. The Great Jin Dynasty allows owning slaves, and a strong adult male servant on the market only costs eight taels of silver.

Anyone can do it, but once you start thinking this way, it’s like weeds growing in everyone’s hearts.

"Sister, sister, I will give you as many people as you want. Ten, no, a hundred people. I only need one longevity pill."

When Shangshu Ling Xu Yan first heard that he could get the elixir of longevity, he was surprised for a moment, but soon he began to feel fear.

If people are treated as materials to refine longevity pills for the rich and powerful, Dajin will not be able to survive!

Although the common people are weak, they are like ants.

However, over the past thousand years, every dynasty that came to an end was caused by a group of seemingly lowly common people who trampled the once high and mighty nobles into the mud.

If you don't let them live, they naturally won't let you live!

Xu Yan was just about to step forward and explain the pros and cons when he heard these words, which caught him off guard.

When he looked over, he found that it was the highly respected King Chu among the royal family.

As the oldest uncle of the emperor, the King of Chu has always strictly abided by the law, never flattered his superiors, and treated his subordinates with kindness and courtesy. He is a wise king praised by his subjects.

But now, such a wise king is offering up human lives just to extend his life by even one year.

Ridiculous, so ridiculous!

Xu Yan became more and more frightened. If the King of Chu had this intention, could it be that other people had the same intention?

Looking around the hall, several heads of noble families had gleaming eyes and were eager to try. The royal family members and ministers were able to restrain themselves, but they all looked expectant.

Unable to wait any longer, Xu Yan stood up angrily and quickly stepped forward to pull up the King of Chu and shouted, "Do you know what you are talking about, King of Chu!"

Li Yue was also daydreaming, but was brought back to his senses by his beloved Xu's words and subconsciously looked at Ling Xiao.

Why are you looking at me? Ling Xiao felt extremely happy in such an atmosphere, especially when he saw the twisted, crazy and desperate look of the old man who was craving for the longevity elixir.

Oh, that's wonderful.

The King of Chu raised his head with an indecent posture and forced a smile, "Minister Xu, you are only fifty this year, right?"

"So what?" Xu Yan said with a dark face.

"It's great to be fifty years old. I can still eat meat and have sex with women. I remember that when I was fifty, I loved eating stewed lamb the most."

The King of Chu sighed softly, his cloudy eyes unfocused, "Now I have almost forgotten what mutton tastes like."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth, revealing only a few teeth.

An indescribable sadness filled the hall. The King of Chu opened his eyes wide, pulled a strand of white hair scattered on his temples and begged:

"I will treat those people's families well. Not only will I provide compensation in gold and silver, but I will also provide for their children's education and their elderly's medical care. I can do all of that."

The last sentence King Chu shouted hoarsely, "Just give me the longevity pill!"

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Ling Xiao seemed to nod and agree to her brother's request. The King of Chu eagerly watched every move of the little sister.

"Ahem, King Bo, please go back to your seat." Li Yue broke the silence in the room and asked the King of Chu to go back to his seat.

Seeing him startled at first and then burst into tears, staggering to kneel down, Li Yue helplessly stroked his forehead and turned to Ling Xiao who had nothing to do with the matter and spoke:

"Aunt, please stop playing tricks on us."
