Yao Guangxiao was actually quite moved.
He looked at the Rejuvenation Pill that was handed to him and hesitated for a moment.
"Take it. I'll make more pills like this when I have the chance in the future," Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Yao Guangxiao reached out and took it. He looked deeply at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Don't worry, with this pill, I will definitely dedicate myself to the Ming Dynasty until my dying breath."
Zhu Gaoxu said, "You flatter me, Grand Preceptor."
"Your Highness, I have a question I would like to ask you. I wonder if Your Highness would be so kind as to enlighten me?" Yao Guangxiao suddenly said.
"Please speak, Your Excellency. I will tell you everything I know," Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Actually, I'm very curious to know, how exactly did you comprehend this alchemy technique?"
"After all, this elixir that can make people young again is extremely rare in the world. I'm afraid no one in the world can do it, right?" Yao Guangxiao asked. Although this Grand Preceptor had witnessed many things, he had never seen such an elixir made by Zhu Gaochi.
"This is my opportunity," Zhu Gaoxu said. "I have the protection of an immortal who bestowed upon me the art of alchemy." Zhu Gaoxu's eyes darted around; this was the only thing he could say.
"Immortals?" Yao Guangxiao exclaimed in shock, "Are there really immortals in this world?"
He couldn't believe that what Zhu Gaoxu said was true.
"I don't know who this immortal is. He appeared to me in a dream after I fell asleep one night and then taught me the art of alchemy," Zhu Gaoxu explained.
"This is terrible, absolutely terrible!"
"If that's the case, this immortal is truly amazing."
Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth. He still didn't quite believe it, but when he saw the Rejuvenation Pill that Zhu Gaoxu had sent, he had no choice but to believe it.
Because Zhu Gaoxu was able to refine such pills, how could he have such ability without the help of immortals?
"Well, Your Excellency, I'll head back now."
"I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Zhu Gaoxu got up to leave; he didn't want to stay there any longer.
This Yao Guangxiao kept asking me questions, but I couldn't tell anyone about his cultivation of immortality.
He was already filled with regret that his alchemy skills had been exposed.
If he had revealed the whole story of his cultivation of immortality, Zhu Di would probably have been even less likely to let him go to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom.
Yao Guangxiao stood up and watched Zhu Gaoxu leave.
He gazed at the pill in his hand, overwhelmed with emotion.
"Your Majesty has given birth to a fine son."
"With such a son, how could the Ming Dynasty not prosper?"
…………
Zhu Gaoxu left Jiming Temple and began his journey back to the Prince of Han's residence.
The events that have happened in the capital recently have all been related to him, and he is feeling uneasy because things are getting bigger and bigger, and he can no longer keep a low profile even if he wants to.
In that case, even if he wanted to settle down and cultivate immortality, it wouldn't be an easy thing.
"Well, let's just take it one step at a time," Zhu Gaoxu said. "It seems I'll need to come up with a plan this time."
As he was speaking, he ran into the eldest and third brothers.
"That blind fool dared to bump into me, how arrogant!!"
Zhu Gaosui roared in anger. He stared at Zhu Gaoxu and felt that the man looked somewhat familiar.
"Are you tired of living?!"
Zhu Gaochi was also observing, and he had already recognized the young man as his second younger brother, Zhu Gaoxu.
"Third brother, you've got some nerve, haven't you? You need a beating!" Zhu Gaoxu glared at him.
Zhu Gaosui stared at Zhu Gaoxu, and he instantly realized something.
He pointed at Zhu Gaoxu with trembling hands.
"You are...you are..."
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward and said with a smile, "Second brother, you really have become younger."
"At first I didn't believe it, but now it seems it really is true!"
"Second brother, you're amazing! Does this Rejuvenation Pill really have such effects?" Zhu Gaosui said enviously, "Second brother, your Rejuvenation Pill is truly excellent."
He grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's hand and began to plead, "We've grown up together since we were little, and we're blood brothers. Could you get me one of these Rejuvenation Pills too, so I can feel young again?"
"With your pointy mouth and monkey-like face, even if you were ten years younger, you'd still look the same," Zhu Gaoxu added insult to injury.
"Second brother, how...how could you say that to me?!" Zhu Gaosui's lips twitched.
"Second brother!" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Brother, stop!" Zhu Gaoxu said. "I have very few Rejuvenation Pills left."
"Moreover, refining the Rejuvenation Pill requires a lot of effort."
"This time, I put in so much effort to refine this Rejuvenation Pill for our father. Now, if we want to continue refining it, it will probably take some time."
"After all, this Rejuvenation Pill isn't an ordinary pill; it's not something that's easy to refine!"
Zhu Gaochi said, "So that's how it is."
Zhu Gaosui suddenly said, "So, our father also took this Rejuvenation Pill?"
"Yes, he did take the pill, and I also promised the Grand Preceptor that I would give him a Rejuvenation Pill," Zhu Gaoxu said.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers felt even more envious.
"Second brother..."
"Second Brother..."
"Alright!" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't take it anymore: "I'll make it whenever I have time, and as long as I succeed, I'll definitely send it to you!"
Snapped!
Zhu Gaosui patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder heavily: "Second brother, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!"
"Would I go back on my word?" Zhu Gaoxu replied, "I mean what I say!"
Upon seeing this, both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui were overjoyed.
"Oh, right."
Zhu Gaoxu finally realized what was happening: "What's going on here?"
Zhu Gaochi explained, "Our father wants us brothers to go to the Fengtian Hall, but we don't know why."
"I see. Then you should hurry up and go, don't keep our father waiting," Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Alright, we'll be going now." Zhu Gaochi nodded.
Zhu Gaosui said, "Don't forget about the elixir."
"That's natural!"
Zhu Gaoxu watched the two people head towards Fengtian Hall.
It's really strange. Why is Dad calling them over at this time?
Zhu Gaoxu was filled with doubt.
"Forget it, let's not worry about it anymore, let's go back first."
…………
Inside the Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Di was waiting for Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Zhao have arrived," Little Snotty said hastily.
"Let them all come in," Zhu Di said, still in a good mood.
"Yes, yes..."
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui arrived at Fengtian Hall very quickly.
From afar, they all saw His Majesty the Emperor, Zhu Di.
"Is this our dad?"
The Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhao were dumbfounded when they saw the much younger Zhu Di before them.
