"So, Pan Hong survived?" The emperor asked while looking at the people below.
"Your Majesty, it is said that he survived. The doctor in the city went to see him and his pulse is stable. However, I heard that the tendons of his legs were severed. Even if he survived, I am afraid he will never be able to stand up again."
Hearing this, the emperor was silent for a moment, and then said, "Ask the imperial physician to go to the Pan family again. No matter what, his injuries must be healed."
"Yes." The person below responded, bowed and then retreated.
After a while, His Majesty looked at the old man hiding in the dark and asked, "What do you think is going on? When I went to see Pan Hong last night, I saw that he was very weak and it was indeed difficult for him to survive. How come today, I heard that he survived?"
The old man walked out from the darkness, clasped his hands in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully: "The doctors in the city and the imperial physicians in the palace all gave the same diagnosis. Moreover, injuries to the lungs cannot be cured by ordinary medicine. But now Pan Hong is still alive, which shows that he must have taken some life-saving elixir after the emperor left."
"Magic medicine?"
The emperor was slightly startled, looked at him, and said hesitantly: "Is there really an elixir in this world?" He did not believe the rumors outside that he was protected by the True Dragon Emperor. He just went over to take a look last night. Even if there was really a True Dragon Emperor protecting him, he could not protect him, Pan Hong.
The old man's eyes moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and he said slowly: "There are immortals in this world, and naturally there are immortal medicines. However, if there is no great opportunity, even if the immortal appears in front of us, we will not be able to recognize the immortal's true body."
"oh?"
Hearing him say that, he immediately became interested and asked, "Could it be that you have seen one before? Are those immortals really as powerful as the legends say? Can they fly into the sky, move mountains and seas, and be immortal?"
The old man smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from you. When I was four or five years old, I saw a fairy in white riding a sword. I can still remember his graceful demeanor vividly."
"There really are immortals in this world?" His Majesty's eyes widened, unable to hide his excitement: "Where did you meet them? Why have I never heard you mention them before?"
No one knew how excited and expectant the emperor was on that day. It was his first time hearing about immortals, and then someone he trusted personally confirmed that there were immortals in this world. His heart couldn't help but beat fast.
Immortal! That is an existence that cannot be compared with the imperial power. Even if he is the emperor, in charge of a dynasty, his life span is only a hundred years. In fact, he can't even live to be a hundred years old. After all, it is rare for ordinary people to be sixty or seventy years old, and it is even rarer to live to be a hundred years old.
He was in a high position, holding power, so naturally he hoped to live forever, as long as the heavens. If an immortal could help him, or give him a pill that could increase his lifespan, then...
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became excited, and an idea vaguely formed in his mind...
On the other side, at the Pan family’s home.
Since Pan Hong's condition has stabilized, the Pan family also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, for them, Pan Hong being alive is better than anything else.
