Long chapter.

…

Of course, gunpowder was found.

But what Xu Sheng found was not the earth’s black powder.

It’s the red gunpowder of this ancient alien world!

It turns out that the black powder of the earth does not exist in this world!

Only red gunpowder!

Here's the thing.

One day.

A big explosion suddenly occurred in a valley in Daxu Kingdom.

It shocked the residents of some nearby villages.

This incident reached Xu Sheng's ears.

He immediately attracted attention.

Because according to local officials' investigations, this was not an explosion caused by a natural disaster, but more like a man-made explosion.

Since it can produce an explosion!

Then there should be something similar to gunpowder!

Xu Sheng was of course immediately excited.

He immediately ordered people to thoroughly investigate the source behind the big explosion at all costs.

What Xu Sheng didn't expect was that the Taoist family was eventually traced.

It turns out that the valley was a place where some Taoists made elixirs.

Xu Sheng was slightly stunned by this.

Because he knew that gunpowder in the history of the earth was actually discovered after Taoist priests made alchemy and exploded the furnace.

First it was used by some people in daily life, then it was used on the battlefield, and then it developed into muskets, cannons, etc.

Xu Sheng actually asked the little Taoist nun before whether practitioners in this world also make elixirs? But the little Taoist nun didn't understand this aspect.

The little Taoist nun has been following Chun Yangzi since she was a child, but Chun Yangzi does not follow the path of alchemy.

So the little Taoist nun didn’t know much about alchemy.

Most of the practitioners in this world have hidden their traces.

None of the practitioners Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun met before were on the alchemy path!

And the emperors in the history of this world did not come into contact with Taoists who made alchemy.

I haven't heard of anything like "a Taoist who made alchemy came into the palace to help the emperor make alchemy to seek immortality." in the history of the earth.

Therefore, the art of alchemy has not yet become popular in this world.

In short, due to all these reasons, Xu Sheng never thought of doing this before.

But after this big explosion happened.

Xu Sheng mobilized the whole country to investigate!

Naturally, it didn't take long to find it.

Because the spiritual powers of the Taoists in this Liaozhai world are not that strong.

They cannot open up a small world, cannot completely hide their physical bodies, and live in an independent space away from the secular world.

Their bodies are still living in the secular world!

These Taoists live in the valley and have been encountered by some villagers and hunters in the mountains.

Because they usually have to go to the city to purchase some supplies, such as various materials they need for alchemy!

Anyway, they were discovered by Xu Sheng.

Of course, Xu Sheng immediately took the little Taoist nun with him and mobilized an army to go with him.

Directly surrounded these Taoist priests!

Facing the encirclement of the huge armored army and the arrival of the emperor, these Taoists were still very frightened.

Although they are not fake Taoist priests, they are real Taoist priests with magical powers like little Taoist nuns!

But if they burst out their mana to fight against the army, even if they just break out, it will definitely consume a lot of their mana.

It may even be difficult to break out.

And if you offend the current emperor, how can you get better?

Unless you escape to the territory of several other warlords.

Of course, since Xu Sheng changed the Xu family's founding to the Daxu Dynasty.

Some other warlords have also followed suit.

Each one of them has established a country or is preparing to establish a country.

For example, the Chu family has also become the Great Chu Dynasty.

For example, although the Zhao family has not yet established a country, I heard that they are preparing for the founding ceremony.

In short, unless you go to other countries, it will be difficult for you to practice quietly in this country.

After all, these practitioners in the Liaozhai world have not yet been able to make their bodies transcend the world!

The physical body still has to live in the secular world.

That day, Xu Sheng, surrounded by Wuyangyang's army, looked at the Taoist priests who were surrounded in a cave and were observing nervously.

"Fellow Taoist priests, you don't have to worry."

Xu Sheng used his inner energy and spoke loudly: "I am not here today to kill you, nor to investigate the great destruction you caused that day, but to ask for a prescription from you!"

After hearing what Xu Sheng said, the few old Taoist priests who emerged from the cave looked at Xu Sheng, who was accompanied by a stunningly beautiful little Taoist nun in Taoist robes who was revered as Daxu Guoshi.

After these Taoist priests looked at each other, they did let down some of their wariness.

After all, the reason why they practice in the mountains of Daxu Kingdom is actually because of the little Taoist nun.

Although the little Taoist nun actually has no contact with orthodox Taoists.

She has only grown up with Chun Yangzi since she was a child.

Chunyangzi was just a casual Taoist monk.

But the little Taoist nun is a Taoist priest anyway!

Although she practices Taoism and Buddhism, she still likes to wear Taoist robes.

The most important thing is that she has the reputation of being a national teacher in the Daxu Kingdom, and is deeply trusted by the emperor Xu Longsheng. She even has the power to kill first-class dignitaries first and then tell them later!

Therefore, the Taoist priests naturally believed that the emperor Xu Longsheng was close to Taoism.

Then, an old Taoist priest with fairy-like demeanor, white beard and white hair and a childish face walked out with a fly whisk in hand.

There he first recited the name Infinite Heavenly Lord.

Then he reported his Taoist number: Dan Yunzi.

"It turns out that His Majesty is also seeking immortality! He also knows that our alchemy can achieve immortality!"

Then Dan Yunzi said: "Your Majesty, if you need it, I would like to dedicate all the alchemy skills that I have to your Majesty, and I will live forever with you!"

Xu Sheng looked at Dan Yunzi's expression and couldn't help but think of those emperors in the history of the earth.

They were talented and ambitious at first, and when they were young, they created a great empire or prosperous age!

Later, he suddenly became obsessed with alchemy and neglected state affairs.

Xu Sheng guessed that they might have met an old Taoist priest like Dan Yunzi just like he did at this time.

After being deceived by him, he devoted himself to pursuing immortality.

These Taoist priests are like little Taoist nuns who have the power to achieve Taoism.

Not a fake Taoist priest.

It's just that the magical powers of these Taoist priests are not that strong.

Therefore, these Taoist priests had to submit to the imperial power.

But these Taoist priests dedicated their alchemy skills to the emperor.

In addition, they did have a certain amount of magic power, so the wise emperor was attracted to believe in these Taoist priests and follow them to make elixirs.

The emperor even used his power to collect various alchemy resources and help Taoist priests pursue the method of alchemy.

The emperors also indulged in alchemy refining in the palace for many years, and in the end they didn't know whether they really became immortals or whether they died after taking the elixirs.
