Zhu Yunhuan looked at this person with interest, and then looked at Sun Ming beside him with a hint of inquiry.

After the flattery, the man expressed his loyalty and took off the hat of deceiving the emperor.

He is indeed a smart man.

Sun Ming, who was standing by, immediately whispered to Zhu Yunhuan, "This man's name is Ma Rui, and he came from Chongyang Palace in Xi'an."

"Ma Rui..." Zhu Yunhuan nodded nonchalantly, taking note of the name. He couldn't help but grumble in his heart, "Ma? Could he be a descendant of Ma Yu?"

There was no way, his impression of Quanzhen Sect mostly came from works of art, but he just thought about it casually. Anyway, he only believed in one principle: no matter their identity, origin or background, as long as they were useful cattle and horses, they were good cattle and horses.

I heard Zhu Yunxun murmuring Ma Rui's name.

All the Quanzhen Taoists immediately grew nervous, their faces filled with worry. They'd even asked for his name, were they really going to punish him for deceiving the emperor?

Fortunately, the next moment, the young emperor in front of him looked nonchalant and said indifferently, "It's okay."

"What I'm looking for is someone who can make the elixir for me."

"As long as you possess the ability to refine elixirs and help me find the path to immortality, I will honor you as my immortal master! I will reward you with titles and wealth!"

As soon as these words came out.

The Zhengyi Sect members who gathered together, and the other side's other swordsmen and Taoist priests from different sects all showed ambiguous expressions.

"If you think about it, the Quanzhen Sect's actions do count as interfering in government affairs. According to ancestral teachings, they should be punished for deceiving the emperor... Truly a tyrant emperor."

"Well, acting selfishly and recklessly for personal gain is consistent with his usual style. The people have sharp eyes."

"It's a pity. There are quite a few people coming from the Quanzhen lineage. If someone could go to the Quanzhen lineage, the chances of being chosen by him would be much greater."

"..."

The Taoists and alchemists outside the Quanzhen lineage all had their own thoughts in their minds, and couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.

At the same time, the Taoists of the Quanzhen lineage all showed joy on their faces, looking as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

It’s good to be a tyrant!

The tyrant king is unfilial!

There is no burden at all when it comes to going against the late emperor's will!

The Quanzhen Taoists here all understood: This time, their bet was right! Now, this new emperor was their lineage's chance to turn things around!

If we can take advantage of this opportunity and use alchemy to fool people and gain the favor of the young emperor, the Quanzhen lineage will rise again and regain its former prosperity in the near future!

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight!!"

Ma Rui and many other Quanzhen Taoists knelt down excitedly, calling Zhu Yunhuan a "tyrant" in their hearts, but this did not prevent them from praising his wisdom.

Zhu Yunhuan did not bother to delve into the expressions and thoughts of the people here.

With only a faint smile on his lips, he sat down in the main seat and said, "Let's get started."

The so-called "immortal pills" and "golden pills".

The main components are actually mercury, sulfur, and other metal substances such as lead, tin, iron, copper, and zinc.

The main material used by ancient alchemists was cinnabar, which is round, fluid, and easy to evaporate. To the ancients, this thing seemed quite magical.

From the perspective of modern chemistry, it is mercury sulfide.

At the same time, realgar, alum, azurite, cinnabar and other materials containing metal elements are put together, mixed and sintered according to a certain formula. Reduction and oxidation reactions can occur repeatedly, resulting in various changes in shape and color.

The so-called "Nine-turn Pill" or "Nine-turn Golden Pill" is a magical medicine that turns around and around.

Therefore, those who are truly qualified, experienced, and accomplished in alchemy and can complete the alchemy process will have more or less some vague understanding of the oxidation and reduction reactions between these substances.
