Chapter 018: The Imperial Palace
In the Royal Garden of the Royal Palace, there is a pavilion next to the water next to the mountain. King Zhao and Feng Rui knelt against each other.
King Zhao looked eager to speak but stopped, as if he had something to say, but perhaps there was something to hide, and King Zhao opened his mouth several times but did not say it.
"Master, I have something to ask for, but I hope the master will answer..."
"I am grateful to the king, and before I can achieve my merit, I became the master of Zhao State. This time, the king has spoken. As long as I am within my ability, the king can give me any orders."
King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face. It was obvious that Feng Rui's words benefited him very much.
A smile appeared on Feng Rui's lips, and he naturally knew what King Zhao wanted, because there seemed to be nothing on him except Qi-raising pills that King Zhao could care about.
"Master, I wonder if you still have fairy wine?"
"Maybe I'm going to disappoint the king. The last time I brewed the fairy wine I had finished drinking three days ago..."
King Zhao sighed when he heard this. He did not doubt Feng Rui's words, but lamented that he was so unlucky. If he had asked for immortal wine three days earlier, there might be some remaining immortal wine.
However, Feng Rui's next words made King Zhao happy.
"But fairy wine is brewed by me. As long as there are enough spiritual herbs, I can naturally brew them again. However, those spiritual herbs that have been vintage for hundreds of years are not easy to collect. Last time, I collected four years before I collected all the spiritual herbs that brewed fairy wine..."
"How can you trouble the master when collecting spiritual herbs? Even if the master needs spiritual herbs, I will send people to collect them everywhere!"
King Zhao waved his hand very proudly and hugged the collection of spiritual herbs on his body.
Feng Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He obviously had expected this situation. Feng Rui directly ordered Xiaoya who was standing behind her.
"Ya'er, take the secret recipe for brewing fairy wine and give it to the king for a look."
"Master...How can the secret recipe be leaked..."
Xiaoya's face became anxious when she heard this. After all, the secret recipe for brewing fairy wine is of great importance, so how can it be revealed to outsiders to watch?
Feng Rui's face couldn't help but sluggishly, and his tone became stern.
"This is not useful? Besides, the king is not an outsider. I believe that the king will not leak secret recipes. The king treats me well, so how can I be ungrateful?"
"yes!"
Seeing Feng Rui's tone was stern, Xiaoya didn't dare to say anything more, so she took out a piece of brocade cloth from her arms, which recorded dozens of spiritual herbs.
The cloth is naturally not a secret recipe for fairy wine, but records the various spiritual herbs needed to refine Qi-nourishing Pills.
King Zhao was moved. He didn't expect that he had such a heavy weight in the mind of the master, and even the secret recipe for brewing fairy wine could be shared with him. How could King Zhao not be moved?
King Zhao naturally didn't know that Feng Rui and his servant were singing the white face and the other was singing the white face. If this were not the case, how could the secret recipe seem to be of great importance?
Feng Rui was not afraid of the leak of the pill recipe, because even if someone collected all the spiritual herbs, he would never be able to refine the Qi-raising pill.
The elixirs taken by cultivators in the cultivation world cannot be refined by mortals. One of them does not have magic power, and the other is that alchemy requires elixir skills. This is why Feng Rui is not afraid of the leak of the pill formula.
"Master, don't worry, I will never leak the secret recipe. I will send the most trusted people to collect these spiritual herbs everywhere."
"I will naturally feel at ease!"
Feng Rui smiled indifferently. Judging from his appearance, he obviously trusted King Zhao.
King Zhao was very relieved when he saw this. People are actually like this. Trust is mutual. If you don’t trust others, others will never trust you, and vice versa.
At least in the eyes of King Zhao, Feng Rui has now become a person worthy of his trust.
"Although I don't know much about spiritual herbs, I should have collected a lot of them. The master can take my token to the inner treasury to see. If there is the spiritual herbs needed to brew fairy wine, the master can take them to use them by himself. At that time, you only need to make a form for me and tell me one word."
"Then I thank the king. This can save a lot of time. Moreover, I also need some spiritual herbs to practice. In the past, I collected it myself, but now I can be lazy."
Feng Rui was also blunt in the matter of his own cultivation, and this not only did not make King Zhao mind, but instead made King Zhao trust Feng Rui more.
At least in the view of King Zhao, Feng Rui, as a master of Zhao, was naturally qualified to use Zhao's resources.
Feng Rui did not use the matter of brewing fairy wine to abuse the law and use his power to seek personal gain, but instead told him that he was frank, which made King Zhao look much more respectful to Feng Rui's character.
After talking to King Zhao for half an hour, Feng Rui took King Zhao's token and, under the guidance of King Zhao's close minister, Eunuch Wei, to the inner treasury of the palace to select spiritual herbs.
Feng Rui has been peeking at the palace treasury for a long time. Last time, King Zhao was able to take out the 500-year Polygonum multiflorum. Who knows if there are any other treasures of higher ages in the palace treasury?
"Master, you have already arrived at the entrance of the inner treasury. The villain is waiting outside the door and will not accompany the master in..."
"I'm sorry, Eunuch Wei!"
Although the other party was a eunuch, he was a close minister around King Zhao after all. Feng Rui was also kind-hearted and did not look down on the other party because of this.
The smile on Eunuch Wei's face was even more real. For eunuchs, others' respect is more important than anything else, let alone the respect of a master who is like a god among immortals.
"I dare not... I dare..." Eunuch Wei said undaring, and then whispered: "The villain remembers that in the inner warehouse, there seems to be a five hundred-year-old wild ginseng on the fourth floor of the wooden rack in the third row. I hope it will be helpful to the master."
"Thank you, my father-in-law, for reminding me!" Feng Rui didn't say anything else and took Xiaoya into the inner warehouse.
Feng Rui did not expect that just because he respected the other party a little, the other party actually revealed good news to him that wild ginseng is one of the main medicines for refining Qi-nourishing Pills.
However, it only takes two hundred years of wild ginseng to refine Qi-building pills. The five hundred years of wild ginseng king is one of the main medicines for refining foundation-building pills.
When Feng Rui walked into the inner trunk, he was immediately blinded. In the large secret room, there were rows of wooden racks, and various rare treasures, night pearls, porcelain, gold and silver utensils, and spiritual medicines were placed on them.
Feng Ruiyiyan walked to the fourth floor of the third row and saw a wooden box placed there. When he opened the wooden box, he saw that there was a wild ginseng inside.
"This wild ginseng king is probably about six hundred years old!"
"Congratulations to the master for getting the magic medicine again!"
Xiaoya congratulated medicinal herbs that the medicinal herbs that can be called spiritual medicine can be at least 500 years or less and less than 500 years, and can only be called spiritual herbs.
Spiritual medicine is already considered a range of treasures of heaven and earth, but spiritual herbs are not counted. This shows how precious spiritual medicine is.
"Ya'er, remember to choose some spiritual herbs, which will be beneficial to your cultivation!"
"yes!"
Seeing that the master cared about him so much, Xiaoya couldn't help but smile.
Then the two of them went around the inner warehouse and selected dozens of spiritual herbs. Unfortunately, the only spiritual medicine for more than 500 years was the only one of the wild ginseng kings.
The wild ginseng king had been sealed by Feng Rui and threw it into the storage bag. After that, all other spiritual medicines were collected and then the foundation-building pill was refined.
As for the spiritual herbs that refine Qi-nourishing Pills, they have basically collected all of them. Now there is only one type of Qi-nourishing Pills. As long as you collect the Qi-nourishing Pills, Feng Rui can start preparing to refine Qi-nourishing Pills.
Feng Rui has some experience in refining Qi-raising pills.
After all, in the mortal plane, Feng Rui has already refined the Qi-nourishing Pill. Although the Qi-nourishing Pill refined is of little quality.
But the foundation-building pill is different. Although Feng Rui has a pill recipe, he has never refined it before. He does not know whether his level of alchemy is enough to refine the foundation-building pill.
Fortunately, it is still early to build the foundation, so Feng Rui can practice more in the future to improve his level of alchemy.
