If it is true as Su Chen said, wouldn't it mean that if you eat such an elixir, you will reach the Paradise of Paradise early?!
However, even though Su Chen made the matter so serious, His Majesty Li Er still didn't believe it.
After all, many people have taken these so-called elixirs, but aren’t they all still alive and kicking now?!
Besides, this elixir of his was made by Cheng Xuanying and is the best of the best!
How could it be Poison Pill?!
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said: "I know the mercury you are talking about, but this elixir is red in color and has a strong medicinal fragrance. How could it be made of mercury?!"
"I think the poison pills you mentioned are probably some heretical things!"
Seeing His Majesty Li Er being so stubborn, Su Chen felt helpless and asked: "Old Li, do you want to eat this thing too?!"
"Yes, I don't know how many family members are taking the elixir now, can't I take it?" His Majesty Li Er asked, feeling that Su Chen was too ignorant.
If this elixir really had no effect, would it be sought after by so many people?!
It’s exactly what the book said. It’s true that the ancients did not deceive me!
Now, Su Chen felt helpless. Why are these people so feudal and superstitious?!
At first, when Su Chen learned that this thing was popular for a period of time in the early Tang Dynasty, he was still skeptical.
After all, who would dare to eat mercury?
I'm afraid only those old guys who don't live long will like it.
But I didn't expect that this thing would actually happen in front of my eyes.
The key is that this person is still my friend, so I, Su Chen, can only teach Lao Li a good lesson again!
"Come with me, you will know soon whether what I told is a lie!"
Su Chen no longer talks too much, but lets prove everything with facts!
backyard.
Su Chen got into a small dark room and didn't know what he was looking for inside. After tinkering for a long time, he finally found what he wanted.
"Cough cough cough!"
Su Chen walked out a little embarrassed, holding two small cloth bags in his hands, not knowing what was inside.
"Come on, come on! Let me smell the elixir for you now!"
Su Chen opened a small cloth bag and placed it in front of the three of them.
Hearing this, the three of them quickly put their heads forward and then covered their noses.
"What are you doing! You actually made us smell sulfur!"
Changsun Wuji was unhappy on the spot and felt that Su Chen was entertaining them.
"Exactly, what's wrong with sulfur? Isn't it not poisonous? It is a kind of medicine in itself, so it is normal to use it to make medicine!"
His Majesty Li Er also couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Su Chen was selling in his gourd.
Seeing the reactions of several people, Su Chen was very satisfied. Without saying anything, he opened another bag and found some copper powder inside.
Then, Su Chen poured the treated sulfur powder on the ground and sprinkled a handful of copper powder on it.
After doing it, Su Chen clapped his hands, took out a fire seal, and said to the three of them: "You go away a little, so as not to hurt you."
Hearing what Su Chen said, the three of them hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Everyone is optimistic, the time to witness the miracle is coming!"
After saying that, Su Chen quickly blew the fire stick and threw it on top of the mixed powder.
Wow!
In just a moment, after the powder came into contact with the sparks, it burned directly!
Crackling!
The flames burned blazingly, with dazzling light and choking smoke. The three of them were immediately stunned!
His Majesty Li Er was stunned and asked stutteringly: "What... is this?! It's so terrifying!"
"This is why you want to eat the elixir!"
Su Chen pointed to the black powder still emitting white smoke on the ground and said: "The elixir of those Taoist priests, especially the elixir just now, is made of this thing plus mercury!"
"Old Li, do you still dare to take the elixir now?"
For these ancient people who had feudal superstition and refused to change their past, Su Chen didn't bother to explain the scientific principles. Instead, he simply and crudely frightened them so that they would have a better memory!
The powder Su Chen just ordered was actually a very simple black powder!
Mononitrate, bicarbonate, and sulfur, in a ratio of four to three to one.
For Su Chen, a top student, it couldn't be easier to come up with such things.
As for why copper powder was added, it was to make the color closer to the elixir, so that Lao Li and the others could be convinced.
And back then, when Su Chen first crossed over, he gave priority to making gunpowder.
At that time, this was his thought.
I already have a powerful weapon like gunpowder. As long as I make some grenades, cannons, shotguns and other destructive weapons, wouldn't I be able to conquer cities and territories and unify the world?
By then, wouldn’t it be Su Chen who would be the head of the global village?
However, belief is wonderful, but reality is cruel!
After Su Chen gave up all his strength, he realized that he had encountered a very serious problem!
That is he doesn't have enough iron to make these weapons...
In this era of the Tang Dynasty, it was good for the people to have enough to eat, but how could there be so much iron for themselves...
It's better to just farm the land obediently. It would also be nice to use gunpowder and set off some fireworks.
"Is this an elixir?!"
Looking at the black powder on the ground, His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath.
Is this stuff with mercury edible for people to eat?!
"Yes, Lao Li, if you don't believe it, I can make you some baskets in a few days, and then you can go back and eat slowly!"
Su Chen patted His Majesty Li Er on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You'd better send this to Li Er as soon as possible!"
Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, Changsun Wuji spoke first and said: "No! How can your Majesty take such a poisonous thing! It must be destroyed immediately!"
The reason why Changsun Wuji spoke so anxiously was because he was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would lose control of his emotions!
His Majesty Li Er himself is right here!
How dare you say that, you little bastard? I'm afraid you don't want to die!
While speaking, Changsun Wuji glanced at His Majesty Li Er from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er's face was getting darker and darker, and the veins on his forehead were twitching.
"No! It must be returned to Li Er, otherwise he will think that I, Su Chen, have really accepted his reward and accepted his favor!"
Su Chen immediately shook his head. He didn't want to get involved with Li Er for no reason and it would be very troublesome to deal with it.
"But that's right, you can't give this stuff to Li Er, otherwise if he dies, then who will manage the Tang Dynasty?"
"Just tell him when the time comes that this thing is highly poisonous. I have warned him anyway."
"But I guess, with his temper that's more stubborn than a donkey, he probably won't listen."
Shaking his head, Su Chen stopped talking and held a memorial service for His Majesty Li Er in his heart in advance...
