Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

The Qin Emperor's success stemmed largely from his strategy of employing the most talented individuals. Therefore, it was only natural that someone like Zhao Gao, who played the victim, would be trusted. Zhao Gao possessed a skill, which earned him the emperor's respect. Having experienced many ups and downs, Zhao Gao was known for his prudence and ability to keep secrets. Consequently, he became the emperor's chariot captain, responsible for ensuring his safety, and naturally earned the emperor's trust.

The Qin Dynasty's laws were extremely strict, and even a cautious individual like Zhao Gao, well-versed in prison law, often walked on thin ice. Therefore, Zhao Gao was even more cautious. His loyalty to the Emperor was unquestionable. Only with the Emperor's death did Zhao Gao finally put his worries to rest. Zhao Gao had already mastered the art of dealing with Hu Hai, quickly accumulating real power. However, the ruthless nature of a vile man, driven by power, gradually emerged. Perhaps driven by social injustice and his physical disability, he became hostile to everything, even disregarding life and death, and constantly seeking opportunities for revenge. However, under the Emperor's strict watchful eye, he dared not act rashly, maintaining a facade of humility and waiting for the right moment.

Therefore, Zhao Gao might not have that thought at the moment, or he might have. It didn't matter either way. He now knew he needed to rely on the Emperor of Qin, and by extension, Zhao Chen. Therefore, Zhao Gao was truly loyal to both the Emperor of Qin and Zhao Chen.

No matter what the Emperor of Qin or Zhao Chen ordered, he would definitely complete it with excellence. This was also the purpose of Zhao Chen asking Zhao Gao to come.

The facts were just as Zhao Chen expected.

After Zhao Gao and Yun Zhongjun left, Zhao Gao directly issued a warning to Yun Zhongjun.

"Lord Yunzhong, I know you are an elder of the Yin-Yang Sect, but if you reveal this alchemy method, even the Yin-Yang Sect will not be able to protect you. Do you understand?"

"Master Zhao is right. I will do my utmost to protect this alchemy method and will never reveal it."

"That's best. Let's go and see the king first."

"The villain understands!"

Zhao Gao brought Yun Zhongjun to Zhangtai Palace. It was morning court, so they had to wait outside. Zhao Gao had been waiting for Ying Zheng, but Zhao Chen's summons forced him to go. In Ying Zheng's mind, Zhao Chen's affairs were the most important.

The two waited for more than an hour and were only allowed to enter after the court meeting ended.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" *Both of them said in unison*

"Get up. Zhao Gao, tell me, what does the young master want from you?"

"Your Majesty, the Young Master has bestowed upon me and Yun Zhongjun his newly developed alchemy method. This method is extremely simple, and any expert at the Xiantian realm can create it. Moreover, these elixirs will be of great benefit to our Great Qin army and the people. Therefore, I have come to report this to Your Majesty."

"What? Only an innate master can refine it?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

Not only Ying Zheng, but also Gai Nie who was hiding in the dark was greatly shocked. What kind of alchemy method could allow any innate master to refine pills?

Although the Zongheng family also practiced alchemy, the technique was too complex and only Gai Nie's master, Guiguzi, had studied it and could refine some simple elixirs. As for more advanced elixirs, even his master couldn't guarantee success.

However, Zhao Gao actually said that Zhao Chen's alchemy method could be refined by any innate master, which was unbelievable. Ying Zheng asked again:

"Are you sure? Have you tried this alchemy method?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't tried this yet, but the Master said that under his guidance, Miss Xiaoyi and Jingwei have both successfully refined the elixir. This is the elixir."

Zhao Gao handed over the pill given by Zhao Chen.

"I'm still a little skeptical. Yun Zhongjun, as an alchemist from the Yin-Yang family, can you please tell me if the alchemy method that the young master gave you is truly so miraculous? Anyone with an innate mastery of the technique can successfully refine the elixir?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly on this matter, because your alchemy method is so miraculous that I must verify it myself."

"Really? Then test it before our eyes. Zhao Gao, what are these pills?"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we should first test the Qi-strengthening Pill. This is specially prepared for our Great Qin soldiers. After taking it, they can increase their strength by a thousand pounds."

"Okay, then you can make the Qi-strengthening pill! Go and prepare the necessary materials and tools."

"I'll go right away!" Zhao Gao immediately went out to prepare.

"Lord Yunzhong, please be prepared. I want to witness the successful refining of the elixir with my own eyes."

"promise!"

Yun Zhongjun took out the alchemy method written by Zhao Chen and carefully read the steps for refining the Qili Pill, making sure to remember every word. He felt tremendous pressure to refine the pill in front of the King of Qin.

Soon, Zhao Gao returned and everything was ready.

"Mr. Yunzhong, are you ready? Let's start when you're ready!"

"Your Majesty, I am ready. I beg Lord Zhao to assist me."

"agreed."

Zhao Gao also began to observe the process of refining the Qili Pill. Then, the two of them began the process of refining the medicine.

"Gai Nie, you can come out now and watch their every step carefully."

Gai Nie appeared quietly not far away, concentrating on observing the two people's medicine refining process. However, he was very confused.

What happened? Where did the alchemy furnace come from?

What is this iron pot?

You guys are not going to cook?

Although Gai Nie was full of questions, he did not speak. Ying Zheng did not care about these details. For him, the key was the result.

If I could really make the elixir,

Then the future Qin army soldiers will be truly invincible! Chen'er, you have once again brought me a huge surprise!

Soon, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the palace.

The fragrance was not pungent, but rather had a light herbal aroma. Gai Nie thought to himself: Is this all true?

Could alchemy be so simple?

Are you really a genius, sir?

After a while, all the herbs were completely dissolved. Yun Zhongjun then slowly injected his true energy into the liquid. Even Gai Nie, who had never seen alchemy before, couldn't understand it.

Soon, Yun Zhongjun felt that the medicine liquid became milder, and then he quickly covered the pot and began to wait.

Ying Zheng: "???Is it finished?"

"Your Majesty, we will know the result after just a moment, but I cannot guarantee whether the refining can be successful."

"Then let's wait a little longer!"

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and Ying Zheng remained calm.

Gai Nie was looking forward to the success of the elixir because he had full confidence in the young master. On the contrary, Yun Zhongjun was uneasy.

He was afraid that if he failed, he would disappoint the king. Now, the time has finally come to reveal the results.

Yun Zhongjun slowly lifted the lid of the pot.

Although it did not emit golden light as Zhao Chen said,

But a fragrance spread out, shocking everyone in the hall.

This was obviously a success!

Yun Zhongjun lowered his head and glanced at the bottom of the pot.

In addition to a few black pieces of medicinal residue, there are also six crystal clear pills.

Successful.

Great, great!

Yun Zhongjun was extremely excited.

Although there were several failed attempts, this was his first time refining pills in this way, and his success rate was much higher than his previous level.

This made Yun Zhongjun very excited.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and have successfully refined six Qi-strengthening pills."

"Okay, Zhao Gao, find six soldiers to come in and test the medicine." "Yes!"

Zhao Gao found six soldiers with weaker physical conditions from outside and told them to take the strength-enhancing pills.

(Note: The six people here are well chosen) The six people took the pills without hesitation.

Soon, they felt a huge change in their bodies. "How does it feel?"

"Your Majesty, I feel incredibly strong!" "Your Majesty, this feels amazing. My strength seems to have increased dramatically in an instant."

"Oh? Really?" Ying Zheng was ecstatic.

"Zhao Gao, can this Qi-strengthening pill increase the user's strength by over a thousand pounds?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. According to the young master, this elixir can increase the maximum strength of the person who takes it to a thousand kilograms. The specific effect depends on the individual's physique, but it can at least increase strength by a hundred kilograms."

"Very good. Now, each of you will carry two stone locks for training. I will show you how much your strength has increased."

"Yes!"

The six soldiers who had taken the medicine immediately went out to move the stones. You should know that a single stone lock in the Qin Dynasty weighed 500 kilograms, and two of them together weighed 1,000 kilograms.

Ying Zheng did this to test the effect of their increased power.

Soon, six soldiers each lifted two stone locks, and although walking was difficult, they stepped into the palace steadily and firmly.

"Hahaha, great! Very good. Zhao Gao and Yun Zhongjun, continue refining the elixir immediately. The Yin-Yang family and Luo Wang, make every effort to refine more elixirs."

I'm sure the Master has already informed you all of what to do next, so I don't need to elaborate. Remember, the art of alchemy must never be leaked. Anyone who dares to reveal it will surely die! Also, within half a month, I need to see three thousand Qi-strengthening pills!

"As you command!" "As you command!"

"Very good, leave the alchemy method behind and go down to do it!" "Your servant/lower will take his leave!"

After the two men had completely left, Ying Zheng picked up the alchemy method and examined it carefully.

Even though he didn't understand the art of alchemy, he could feel that this method seemed to be able to really make elixirs, not to mention Yun Zhongjun.

This is truly shocking.

At this moment, Ying Zheng even doubted whether Zhao Chen was really his son. Are his genes really that strong?

"Gai Nie, come and take a look!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gai Nie had been keeping an eye on these blank papers from the very beginning, and now that he had received Ying Zheng's approval, he was extremely excited.

Just as Ying Zheng felt, Gai Nie was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

He could only admire that Zhao Chen, a natural born sage, had far exceeded his understanding.

"Your Majesty, this is truly amazing. If this method truly works, the entire Qin Dynasty and even the entire world will be shaken by it."

"Well, although these pills are effective, they don't seem to be of much help to the strong. Maybe Chen'er deliberately didn't reveal the more advanced pill formula!"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. But if a strong person were to refine other elixirs using this method..."
