Seeing the Emperor in such a state, Xu Lie almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The ten-year Elixir of Longevity, valued at three hundred points, could excite an ordinary emperor to this extent.
It was becoming increasingly clear why the other actors in the organization, who had earned a substantial amount of points, were reluctant to leave and revive their careers. Xu Lie wasn’t just idly showing off in front of the Emperor; he was focused on the goal of Kaihai.
If he were to go about it step by step, fighting against the Crown Prince’s faction while also working on Kaihai, it would be an exhausting endeavor. He would have to guard against both overt and covert attacks from the Crown Prince’s camp while also putting effort into building ships and recruiting personnel.
Instead, it was far more efficient to spend some points to buy the Elixir of Longevity, hand it over to the Emperor, and then wait for the entire empire to rally behind him in support of Kaihai.
Suppressing his amusement, Xu Lie took a few steps forward. When he saw that the Emperor didn’t react, he moved closer until he was nearly face-to-face with him. The Emperor was completely fixated on the Elixir of Longevity in Xu Lie's hand, his gaze unwavering and oblivious to everything else around him.
“Ahem,” Xu Lie cleared his throat to bring the Emperor back to reality. “Your Majesty, it’s time for your medicine.”
Or should he call for the imperial physician first for a check-up?
The Emperor didn’t bother with pleasantries; he carefully cradled the small wooden box containing the Elixir of Longevity in his hands. “Call for what physician? Those quacks don’t deserve to examine this Elixir!”
As he spoke nonsense, he leaned closer to the box and inhaled deeply, his expression so obsessed that it nearly twisted Xu Lie's own face in disbelief.
Hold it in; he mustn’t laugh!
The contrast in the Emperor's demeanor was amusing beyond measure. Xu Lie gritted his teeth, desperately pressing his toes against his shoes to keep from bursting out laughing.
The Old Eunuch had initially wanted to ask if they should call for a physician but seeing the Emperor's reaction decided to play the role of an ostrich and kept silent.
The Emperor’s desire for longevity had reached its peak; he genuinely believed that this fragrant elixir could extend his life. Without needing water, he pinched it between two fingers and swallowed it whole.
The organization’s products were indeed reliable; as soon as the elixir went down, the Emperor felt significantly younger. His eyes were clearer, his spirit lifted considerably, and all traces of fatigue from staying up late reviewing memorials vanished. His legs felt much more lively as well.
It was as if a wondrous surge of vitality coursed through him.
It was as if a continuous stream of energy was being injected into him.
"Ah!"
Three exclamations in a row revealed just how excited the Emperor was; he completely disregarded the memorials and paced back and forth. It seemed he was testing just how much younger he felt.
The Emperor had also consumed some stimulating potions concocted by the Imperial Medical Institute, but those effects were fleeting and could not compare to the Elixir of Longevity!
The old eunuchs below were taken aback: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may you be in good health! Another dose of the Elixir of Longevity! Truly, you are a Sage Monarch!"
Yet, the potency of this Elixir of Longevity was uncertain—whether it was gentle or fierce.
There was only so much that could be said; as someone who had served the Emperor since childhood, Ban Ban could not command him to sit down. Even suggesting it would be inappropriate. Unless the Emperor actively sought his advice, such indirect persuasion was the limit of his influence.
In high spirits, the Emperor waved his hand dismissively: "I know my own body well!"
After that, he ignored Ban Ban and turned to Xu Lie with a beaming smile: "Second Brother, a great achievement! A great achievement indeed! What reward do you desire? Speak freely!"
