Outside the palace, Ji Ming's screams came again.

Li Shui sighed slightly and thought: "This is what Ying Zheng is doing to himself."

Ji Ming had been confronting him before, insisting that Master Fu Yao was unconscious. Although when he went to check later, Fu Yao had already woken up. But this did not mean that Ying Zheng thought Ji Ming was lying.

Their master and servant have been together for many years, and they know everything about them. Their level of trust is much higher than that of a sorcerer who talks a lot about things.

It's just that Ying Zheng thought that he had magical powers and needed to be comforted, so he punished Ji Ming.

This is why it is whipping rather than beheading. With whipping, as long as you have skill, you can hit it very loudly without causing much damage.

Li Shui was thinking, who knew that Ying Zheng was very good at observing people's emotions, so he said meaningfully: "Huai Guzi, why are you sighing?"

Li Shui was stunned for a moment, and then replied casually: "I, I am kind-hearted and can't bear to hear people being tortured."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh: "I see, I never thought you would plead for Ji Ming."

Li Shuigan laughed and said, "What I mean is... just pull him away and hit him, so that I don't hear him."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Ying Zheng looked at the little palace maid next to him. The palace maid went out and gave instructions. After a while, Ji Ming's screams could no longer be heard.

But Li Shui was sure that this guy was still being beaten. There was no need for Ying Zheng to lie to himself about such a trivial matter.

After dealing with Ji Ming casually, the conversation returned to the main topic.

Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Can you refine the elixir of longevity?"

Li Shui said respectfully: "Since I came to the palace, I have been refining the elixir of immortality every day, but I have repeatedly failed. I didn't know why before, but after treating Mr. Fu Yao, I suddenly figured it out."

Ying Zheng asked curiously: "What does it have to do with Fu Yao?"

Li Shui said: "I refined the elixir of longevity and failed many times. However, I succeeded in refining alcohol. From this, I discovered that refining the elixir should proceed from easy to difficult. The elixir of longevity is too complicated, and my ability is still there.

It’s not enough, you need to practice more.”

"This is like a three-year-old child who first learns to walk and then to run. Why not, I will first refine other elixirs, the longevity elixir, and you can work on it slowly. Your Majesty, please rest assured that other elixirs will also have the effect of prolonging life.

"

Ying Zheng felt itchy in his heart after hearing this, but he could only ask patiently: "According to your estimation, when will the Immortality Pill be ready?"

Li Shui thought for a moment and said, "It can take as little as three to five years, or as long as several decades."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "That's all, immortality is not easy, I can wait. After you go back, you should work hard to refine the elixir and don't slack off."

Li Shui agreed and then waited quietly.

However, Ying Zheng did not speak any more.

The little palace maid next to her whispered to Li Shui: "Master Huai, please come with me."

Li Shui was anxious: "What? Are you going to see off guests?"

He laughed dryly, looked at Ying Zheng flatteringly, and said, "Your Majesty, this is my reward..."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Huai Guzi, you are quite interesting. I have given you a mansion and a thousand acres of fertile land. Are you satisfied?"

Li Shui's heart suddenly jumped. For a poor man who couldn't afford a house in his previous life, a mansion was equivalent to a super luxurious villa.

However, this was not what he really wanted. So he coughed dryly and said, "My lord, be brave and want something else."

"Oh? What is it?" Ying Zheng looked at him with interest.

Li Shui said with some embarrassment: "The gold medal for immunity from death."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "A gold medal to avoid death?"

Li Shui's heart beat: "This thing hasn't appeared before, has it?"

He had no choice but to explain: "I have special skills, so I will inevitably be jealous of others. I am straightforward and will unintentionally offend others. If they wantonly frame me and make me guilty... My death is a small matter, but it delays the serious matter of alchemy."

ah."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui with a half-smile but not a smile: "You think long-term. That's all. You have done a great job in rescuing Fu Yao. Such a reward is not an exaggeration. Go back and wait for a day or two, and I will order someone to make a piece of it."

I’ll give you a death-free medal.”

Li Shui was very excited and thanked him repeatedly.

Qin Lv is always going to jail. Being in jail is like onychomycosis, one infects two others. It would be great to have a gold medal for immunity from death. Powerful protection can prevent the disaster of jail.

After thanking him, Li Shui coughed again and asked: "Now that I have the gold medal to avoid death,... can you still give me a mansion and a thousand acres of fertile land?"

Ying Zheng was a little speechless, waved his hand and said, "I'll give it to you, you can go."

Afterwards, Ying Zheng ordered the little palace maid to take Li Shui out.

On the way to leave, the little palace maid kept stealing glances at Li Shui, thinking: "This person dares to ask the king for a gold medal to avoid death? He only asks for a gold medal to avoid death, but he also dares to ask for farmland in his mansion. Really?

How audacious.”

After Li Shui left Ying Zheng's palace, he walked around and finally found Ji Ming in a corner.

He was lying on the ground, still being whipped.

At that time, Ying Zheng only said "beat him again" but did not say how much. It is estimated that the executioner did not dare to stop.

At this time, the strong man who beat the person was already sweating profusely from exhaustion. When he saw Li Shui approaching, he quickly bowed and said, "Does your Majesty have an order? Can Ji Ming's flogging be stopped?"

Li Shui waved his hand and said: "The king has not given any orders, continue."

Then, Ji Ming's screams sounded again.

Li Shui shook his head, covered his ears, and said to himself: "It's too cruel, I can't bear to hear it."

Then he left quickly.

Ji Ming lay on the ground and looked at Li Shui's back resentfully. At the same time, he thought sadly: "My butt has turned into a ball of rotten meat, why do I still have to beat it? Could it be... Could it be that the king has beaten me

forget?"

…………

Li Shui lost his way. The Qin Palace was very big, with halls and courtyards everywhere.

The little palace maid had gone back a long time ago. Now it was getting late and there was no one to guide her. Li Shui soon became confused.

I asked several guards one after another, and each one pointed in a different direction.

Li Shui waited until the sky became slightly brighter before returning to Yingxian Hall exhausted.

He yawned and couldn't wait to lie down and sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shui walked to the alchemy room, a group of people suddenly rushed up. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Li Shui.

Li Shui was startled. When he looked carefully, he found that these people were all alchemists.

Li Shui was immediately frightened: "What? Are these alchemists going to avenge Lu Lie? It's hard for two fists to defeat four hands. I'm afraid I'm going to fall today."

However, the alchemists did not take action. Instead, they knelt on the ground one after another and said with great admiration: "Master Huaiguzi, you are truly a god. We admire you endlessly. Please accept us as your disciples."

These people were frightened when they saw Lu Lie being tortured to death by Li Shui. Moreover, they had been frustrated after many years of seeking to visit the Immortal Mountain without being able to visit it. Now they saw that Huai Guzi seemed to have some magical powers, so they wanted to come to obtain the scriptures and gain the

Clues to the Fairy Mountain.

Therefore, these alchemists shamelessly came to become their disciples.

However, Li Shui became furious and punched and kicked the alchemists: "Who is your master? Who are your disciples? I, Huai Guzi, and other alchemists are not on the same page."

Li Shui beat him up, and then walked away, cursing as he walked: "Sooner or later, you are going to seek death, and you still want to drag me into the water, but there is no door. You don't want to ask questions, and I, Li Shui, have always been the one holding the back."
