"That makes sense!" Lu Xiangyi nodded after hearing this.
After a moment of silence, Wang An's eyes lit up, "I think I probably understand."
"What?" Lu Xiangyi asked hurriedly.
"Where are you going next, Hu'an?"
"Go back to Hu'an first. There are still some things to deal with there, and then return to the capital."
"Beijing, not Jiankang?"
"No, I work at the headquarters in Beijing." Lu Xiangyi explained.
"Slow down on the road."
"Well, wait, what do you mean? You were ready to chase me away before you finished speaking. You haven't said what you understand yet?"
"Zhou Dian has been emperor for several generations, and there are very few records about him in history books. Do you know what he looked like in the end?" Wang An asked.
"What did he look like in the end? I remember I once read a piece of unofficial history. It was said that someone saw him during the Jingtai period. At that time, his face was rosy and he seemed to be in his forties." Lu Xiangyi said after pondering for a while.
"Okay, assuming that record is true, based on when he appeared during the Hongwu period, he should have been at least eighty years old at the time, and he looks no more than forty years old. What does this mean?"
"He, his appearance is ageless?!"
"It cannot be said that he is immortal. At least his aging rate is much slower than that of ordinary people. It may be one-half or even less than that of ordinary people."
"What does this mean?" Lu Xiangyi asked doubtfully.
"For example, if you lived for more than a hundred years and still had the appearance and physical condition of a fifty-year-old, what would you think?"
Lu Xiangyi lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Live longer, or even live forever?" He hesitated for a while when he said the last two words.
"Yes, in fact, people have never given up on the exploration and pursuit of immortality from ancient times to the present. Becoming a Buddha in Buddhism and becoming an immortal in Taoism, in a sense, isn't it about immortality?" During the exchange with Lu Xiangyi,
, Wang An kept sorting out his thoughts.
"You mean, Zhou Dian made alchemy just for the purpose of immortality?"
"Otherwise, perhaps he should be trying to break some of his own limitations, break through the limits, and create something out of nothing."
"I can understand the meaning of the first few words. This creation out of nothing is so awkward when placed next to them. How do you explain it?"
"Just saying, why don't you go and get busy?"
"You are so anxious to drive me away. Can't you tell? Have you done special research on Zhou Dian?"
"Isn't the ultimate source of such a big thing like Chenjiacun causing me so much trouble because of Zhou Dian? Naturally, I have to do some research."
"I have also researched it, but not as much as you think. If I really want what you said, then the elixir can make people live forever. Why do you say that eating the elixir may kill people?
?”
"Personal guess."
"Tell me more about it."
"Intuition." Wang An spread his hands, "Could it be that I also want to tell you that I have a picture in my hand with a strange formula on it, which mentions Red Pill?"
Well, Lu Xiangyi was stunned for a moment. What kind of answer was this? It was too perfunctory.
"What are your plans next?"
"I'm going to make some money."
"Make money, are you short of money?"
"It's lacking, it's very lacking." Wang An said with a smile.
"How much is missing?"
"What are you doing, are you going to send me some warmth? I need a lot, millions, or even tens of millions." Wang An said with a smile.
"What do you want so much money for?" Lu Xiangyi asked curiously.
"I want to buy a villa or a large flat, and I promised grandma and grandpa to take them there to have a look."
"You also have such thoughts?"
"Isn't this surprising? I am also a human being. I have to eat, live, and have basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation..."
"I thought you were like the characters in those novels who focus on practicing in order to reach a higher realm of martial arts and don't have many demands for external things." Lu Xiangyi raised his hand and gestured.
"You think too highly of me. I am also a common person."
"It's a good thing that ordinary people have ideas and demands!" Lu Xiangyi said with a smile after hearing this. "Li Xinzhu will be released in the next two days."
"Thanks."
"Do you think it's possible for someone like Zhou Dian to appear again now?"
"Then what kind of person is Zhou Dian? What kind of abilities does he have? If he is the legendary immortal who stands on the bow of a ship and blows his breath to attract strong winds, I guess he won't be able to get out now.
If we talk about prolonging life and living for more than a hundred years as if we were in our forties or fifties, it is certainly possible. Now many organizations are also studying this topic. Isn’t this very tempting? "
"It's quite big, enough to drive countless people crazy and cause a bloody storm!" Lu Xiangyi said truthfully.
In reality, some people hold power and wealth and enjoy a life that ordinary people cannot imagine. Naturally, they hope to enjoy such a life for a long time.
In order to live for a few more years, they can do anything they can, including organ replacement, blood transfusion, seeding, seven-star lanterns to extend life, scientific, metaphysical, and all possible means.
Now suddenly someone told him that there was a way to make people live to be over a hundred years old, similar to those who were fifty years old. It could make them live over a hundred years old, or even longer.
Those people must be crazy to get this solution? What will it matter if a few people die by then?
Lu Xiangyi suddenly stared at Wang An.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"I'm wondering if it's possible for you to become someone like Zhou Dian?"
"Oh, you think too highly of me." Wang An said with a smile.
"What if there is that kind of elixir?" Lu Xiangyi asked seriously. Wang An was slightly startled when he heard this. Is there something in this?
"If I have a chance, what would I like to taste?"
"Okay, it's settled then. If you need any help, please call me and let's go." Lu Xiangyi smiled and nodded. After getting in the car, he lowered the window and waved to Wang An, then drove off.
Left the mountain village.
"There were still things I didn't say clearly just now!" Lu Xiangyi looked through the rearview mirror at Wang An, who was standing by the river.
Back home, Wang An was still thinking about the conversation he had just had with Lu Xiangyi. Considering his own situation, he thought of such a possibility.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Dian's Qi and blood are strong through practicing the exercises, reaching or approaching a certain limit, which makes his aging rate much lower than that of ordinary people, but it is only slowed down.
It couldn't stop, so he thought of another way - alchemy.
Through the combination of elixirs and exercises, one breaks one's own limits and reaches another level, which can even be understood as the sublimation of life.
"So far I haven't reached the limit." Wang An feels that his blood and strength should continue to increase. As for where the limit is, he doesn't know.
Then keep practicing and reach your limit first!
The next day he went up the mountain and pushed a stone ball weighing several thousand kilograms up the mountain and then rolled it down. At the same time, he began to try to push the stone ball to the top of the mountain with one hand, alternating his palms, firstly to exercise strength, and secondly.
Practice your palm skills and strength during the process of pushing the stone.
In addition to pushing stones, he also added another exercise method, running in the mountains with a millstone weighing several hundred kilograms on his back. This was equivalent to cross-country with heavy loads, and it also carried high-intensity weights. At the beginning, he did not run very fast.
Step by step.
During this period, Li Xinzhu was released from the guard station. After receiving the call, Wang An drove back to Hu'an from his hometown and held a banquet to celebrate.
There were only two of them in the elegant private room. The food was Li Xinzhu's favorite, king crab, and fine wine. Wang An also made an exception and poured himself a glass.
"Come and celebrate your safe return."
"Thanks."
When the wine glasses are touched, the wine in the glass is drained.
"I understand a lot of things this time." After a glass of wine, Li Xinzhu took a bite of crab meat and said.
"I am just an ant. The people above can crush me with just a little finger. If you want to change this situation, you have to change your way of life." Li Xinzhu stretched out his little finger and shook it.
"In this society, if you have money, you must have connections. The key is that your fists must be strong enough. Like you, if money doesn't work or connections don't work, use your fists.
There are people in the world who are sophisticated, so they have to fight and kill." Li Xinzhu raised his fists and clenched them tightly.
"You realize it all of a sudden?" Wang An said with a smile.
"I've thought about it before, but I didn't think about it so thoroughly this time."
"Actually, when you have money, you will naturally have connections. Ninety-nine percent of the things in this world can be solved with money, and the remaining 100 percent depends on God's will." Wang An joked.
"Didn't we encounter that one percent chance? While I was praying for God's blessing, you were able to fight a bloody path with your fists. I have been slacking off these days and my skills have fallen behind." Li Xinzhu picked up the wine glass and spoke again.
Drink all the wine in the glass.
"Take your time." Wang And said.
"There is no time to wait!" Li Xinzhu sighed.
"Your master and your senior brother?"
"I've been like that all my life. There's no way to save me. If you hadn't arrived in time that day, I would have been like them. I'm scared just thinking about it. If that were the case, life would be worse than death!"
"Drink." Wang An picked up the wine glass.
Li Xinzhu said a lot of things during this meal, as if after experiencing this incident, he suddenly became sober.
After dinner, Wang An returned to his residence. He stayed in Hu'an for less than two days before returning to his hometown.
The explanation given to the two old men was that the weather was too hot and they came back to escape the heat. In fact, they took advantage of the heavy rain in summer to practice in the river.
When the river water fell, he would go to the mountains to push rocks. After it rained and the river water rose, he would go to the river to practice and catch two big fish from the river.
The days went by like this day by day. Wang An could feel that his strength was still growing through the barbell at home, which weighed more than 100 kilograms. He bought some barbell plates from the Internet and kept adding weight.
Thousands of miles away, in a research institute somewhere, several researchers in white coats gathered together to discuss.
"These people's heartbeats accelerated after taking the medicine. Different dosages of medicines resulted in different heartbeat speeds. The higher the dosage, the faster the heartbeats. The lowest was 125 per minute, and the highest was 216.
The blood pressure increases. According to sampling tests, their adrenaline secretion is several times higher than that of ordinary people, and the highest one even reaches 5.5 times. From the data, this is - stimulants!"
"This is not comprehensive. Its effect is indeed very similar to a stimulant, but it contains amino acids, proteins, ginseng flavonoid glycosides, various trace elements and other nutrients, which can effectively promote cell division and growth..."
"We examined these test subjects and found that they all suffered from varying degrees of organ failure after taking the drug, especially the heart. Based on their current physical condition, it is not recommended to take the drug a second time, otherwise irreversible physical damage may occur."
“Is there something wrong with the manufacturing process of the drug or the composition of the drug?”
"The components should be fine, but the production process is hard to say. According to the description in the elixir recipe, it takes seven days to make the elixir with strong fire and slow fire. How can we control this? Do we really want to find an elixir?
furnace?"
"I think there's something wrong with this cinnabar root." A researcher wearing glasses said.
"what is the problem?"
"You see, the other medicinal materials here are all yang-tonifying medicinal materials, but this cinnabar root is bitter in taste and cool in nature. It is used to clear away heat, reduce fire, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It conflicts with the other medicinal materials.
"
"Maybe it's to neutralize their medicinal properties and play a role in reconciling yin and yang?"
"I think all the herbs in this medicine are for nourishing yang. There shouldn't be any herbs for nourishing yin. After taking it, it will be like a ball of fire."
"Then don't burn people to death?!"
...
They successfully produced the elixir according to the instructions on the elixir recipe, but after human testing, they found that taking the elixir would cause people to be in an extremely excited state within a short period of time, just like taking a stimulant.
, then multiple organ failure will occur.
If you eat this, not to mention one pill, just half of it, it may kill someone.
"He was really right, eating it might actually kill someone." Lu Xiangyi had a look of surprise on his face after receiving the news.
"It's really surprising. Hiss, he has never seen that pill recipe, right?"
In the mountain village, it was raining lightly.
The heavy rain has just stopped. It has been raining all day. It seems that I am tired and need to take a rest.
In the river outside the village, Wang An walked out of the turbid water. Huh, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Hua La, the river flowed behind him, and he seemed to hear another sound vaguely. He stopped and closed his eyes.
The sound came from inside his body, the sound of heartbeat, breathing, peristalsis of organs, and the sound of blood flow. He felt the blood flow in his body.
"Practicing Kung Fu is about developing and controlling the body, mastering the strength of the muscles, and mastering the flow of force. Is it possible to control the heartbeat and the flow of blood when you practice to a high level?
When the muscles are changed and the marrow is washed, the blood has also changed. Just like what is written in the novel, the blood flows like mercury."
When Wang An returned, he did not go back empty-handed, but grabbed a grass carp weighing more than 20 kilograms.
