Chapter 107 Meeting the First Emperor
The First Emperor saw images appearing in the main hall, depicting the historical trajectory of the Qin Dynasty.
The First Emperor saw his domineering presence when he unified the world, saw countless people building the Great Wall, saw countless people building the imperial mausoleum at Mount Li, and saw him desperately pursuing immortality, so he sent Xu Fu with three thousand boys and girls overseas to seek the elixir of immortality.
I saw his majestic inspection of the Qin Empire, I saw his death at the Sand Dune Platform, I saw Zhao Gao and Li Si tampering with the imperial edict, I saw Fusu commit suicide, I saw Huhai ascend the throne, I saw many of my sons and daughters being ordered to commit suicide, and I saw Zhao Gao pointing at a deer and calling it a horse.
The video kept playing, and the First Emperor stared at the scene in the hall with bloodshot eyes.
While Hu Hai was enjoying himself in the palace, the Qin Empire was already engulfed in war. A commoner shouted, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" As the scene flashed, the First Emperor's eyes widened in fury.
He saw a man named Xiang Yu storm Xianyang and burn down the Epang Palace.
The video continued playing until Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty.
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang, is immortality more important, or is the Qin Empire more important?" Zhou Yongcheng asked again.
The First Emperor was extremely angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. The Qin Empire, which he had painstakingly built, had perished after only two generations. Who could bear this?
"Is there really no such thing as immortality in this world?" the First Emperor asked in a low voice, suppressing his emotions.
"Yes, it takes a lot of time to cultivate. However, the spiritual energy in your world is thin, so it's impossible to cultivate to the point of immortality. Relying on pills to achieve immortality is utter nonsense. I can see that your body is already poisoned. You've probably taken a lot of pills made by those alchemists. Those pills are poisonous. Taking one at a time won't cause any problems, but it will lead to slow poisoning. If you take a lot at once, you'll die from poisoning immediately. If you take those pills for a long time, it will damage your body, and you won't live past fifty."
At this moment, the First Emperor wanted to kill someone, he really wanted to kill someone, but he restrained himself and respectfully bowed to Zhou Yongcheng, saying, "Please, immortal, save me."
“I live not far from your palace. There is a mansion there with the name Zhou Mansion written on it. You can come to see me anytime.”
After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, he disappeared. The guards beside him were able to move again, and they had no idea what had happened.
"Guards!" the First Emperor shouted angrily.
"His Majesty."
"Take men and capture all the sorcerers in the city."
"promise."
Then he summoned the ministers.
The First Emperor knelt on his throne, slowly calming his anger. He recalled the scene he had just witnessed: Zhao Gao had ordered Fusu's death. Who was Zhao Gao?
This is a fictional world, and Zhao Gao had not yet come to power, so the First Emperor did not know who Zhao Gao was. In the real historical world, Zhao Gao had already followed the First Emperor before he unified the country.
To his surprise, Li Si was also involved. How should Li Si be dealt with?
And those who destroyed the Qin Dynasty, they were all talented people, it would be a pity to kill them.
The First Emperor suddenly realized that he was not dead yet, and the Qin Dynasty was not yet over. As long as he was alive, would Li Si dare to act recklessly? If he recruited those talented people in advance, wouldn't the Qin Dynasty be able to stabilize itself?
Just then, the eunuch said that all the ministers were waiting outside the door.
The First Emperor summoned his ministers, but he did not speak. The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Not long after, the soldier led a group of sorcerers into the main hall.
Looking at the person in front of him, the First Emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "Xu Fu, where is the elixir of immortality you made for me?"
"Your Majesty, I was refining elixirs when they captured me. However, I had prepared some beforehand, so I will present them to Your Majesty now." Xu Fu smiled, completely unaware that the First Emperor was looking at him as if he were a dead man.
"Send it up."
A eunuch brought the box that Xu Fu had taken out to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor took the box and opened it. Inside were several shiny pills. Then, the First Emperor took out two more boxes from the side and placed them all on the table.
"Someone, feed all these pills to Xu Fu."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch picked up the pills from the box and walked towards Xu Fu.
Xu Fu was dumbfounded and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is an elixir of immortality, it is for Your Majesty to eat. We mere mortals are not qualified to eat it, Your Majesty."
Xu Fu was terrified; he hadn't expected the First Emperor to pull this stunt.
Inside the main hall, not only Xu Fu was terrified, but the other alchemists were also filled with fear. How could they not know what the elixir was? If Xu Fu took it, he would surely die, and if Xu Fu died, they would also be doomed.
The eunuch walked up to Xu Fu and offered him a pill, but Xu Fu refused to eat it and kept trying to tempt the First Emperor with words.
With a wave of his hand, the First Emperor ordered his soldiers to hold Xu Fu down and pry open his mouth with their hands, while the eunuch poured the elixir into Xu Fu's mouth.
The soldier casually patted Xu Fu on the back a few times, and all the pills went into Xu Fu's stomach.
Not long after, Xu Fu's body began to convulse, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he died quickly. It would be strange if he didn't die after consuming so many pills.
"Is this the elixir you concocted for me? It's supposed to prolong life and grant immortality, so why did Xu Fu die instead of achieving immortality after consuming it?"
Many of the sorcerers dared not speak.
"Drag them away and chop them up."
The soldiers dragged all the sorcerers out of the hall, and many of them were so frightened that they wet themselves.
"Your Majesty, spare me! It was Xu Fu who wanted to harm you!"
Gradually, the sorcerer's voice could no longer be heard.
"Do you have anything to say, Li Si?" The First Emperor looked at Li Si calmly.
Li Si dared not meet the First Emperor's gaze; he lowered his head and dared not utter a word.
They all knew that this was when the First Emperor was at his angrier, and if he said anything wrong, those sorcerers would serve as a cautionary tale for them.
The First Emperor looked at these ministers and waved for them to leave.
He kept recalling the images released by the immortal, which contained a lot of information, and he wanted to remember them carefully.
He asked someone to bring him bamboo slips, and he wrote down everything he could think of.
When Zhou Yongcheng returned to his residence, Lü Su sat on the sofa in the main hall, lost in thought.
She only became happy when Zhou Yongcheng appeared.
"Girl, do you miss your father and sister?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.
"I miss them a little, but I don't want to be separated from Brother Zhou," Lü Su replied with a smile.
"I'll have someone pick them up in a couple of days. We'll buy the house next door and let them live there."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Inside the courtyard, Gao Yao was practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms according to the moves in the manual.
The following afternoon, the First Emperor arrived at Zhou Yongcheng's residence with his guards.
"I have seen the immortal."
"Just call me Mr. Zhou. I'm not an immortal yet."
Zhou Yongcheng invited the First Emperor into the house, while Lü Su went to pour him tea.
As soon as the First Emperor entered the room, he saw things he had never seen before: a sofa, a coffee table, chairs, and other items.
"Sir, are these items from the celestial realm?"
"No, these are things used by ordinary people in our world, very common things."
The First Emperor sat on the sofa, touching it; it was so comfortable to sit on.
He really wanted to ask Zhou Yongcheng for this thing, but he didn't know what to offer in exchange.
"Sir, how can I remove the poison from my body?" the First Emperor asked.
