Hearing this, not to mention the emperor, even the old man who had been standing there without saying anything narrowed his eyes, obviously unable to believe it.
Refining a child into a pill? How can that be possible
The emperor was stunned, looking at him, and didn't say anything for a long time. Refining a three or four-year-old child into a pill? This kind of thing was too bloody and cruel. He had never even thought of such a thing.
Although he wanted to live forever, he was not a tyrant. Even if he was the emperor, he would not dare to do such a thing that would anger God and people.
"Immortal, you said that if we refine those two children into elixirs and take them, we can gain immortality?" He frowned, looked at the immortal in front of him, and said, "They are just two good-looking children, how can they have such miraculous effects? What's more, refining people into elixirs, this, this is not..." He didn't dare to say it, after all, he was afraid of angering the immortal in front of him.
"Your Majesty, even though you are the emperor, you cannot see that those two children are born with innate spiritual energy. They are spiritual fetuses that are of great benefit. Such spiritual fetuses are hard to come by." There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he swallowed hard when he thought of the two children.
The emperor looked at his expression, and gradually calmed down. His excited heart was cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it. He smiled and said, "My Immortal, how about this! You must be tired after all the journey. Go and have a rest first. I will think about this matter later."
"Okay, but, Your Majesty, you have to keep a good eye on those two children." He put away the alchemy furnace and gave instructions worriedly, but he didn't think about anything else. He felt that when mortals think about achieving immortality, why would they think about anything else
However, he did not expect that he was the emperor of a country and not a tyrant. He would always think things over again and again. How could he really follow his words and capture the two children to make pills
After having him taken away, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, exhaled slowly, was silent for a while, and asked: "What do you think?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "This is unusual. Immortals should be righteous people. How could they use children to refine pills? Such a bloody and cruel thing would not be thought of even by people with blood on their hands. Moreover, why would it be those two children?"
The old man paused, then hesitantly said, "Moreover, I have been observing the immortal. When he talked about the child, his eyes flashed, and he swallowed his saliva. I am afraid that if it is really refined into a pill, he wants to eat it, right?"
The emperor nodded and said, "I also feel that this immortal's behavior and words are somewhat different from the immortals in the fairy tales, but he does understand immortal magic."
"Those three children are not ordinary people either. They were too calm when they saw Your Majesty. They were not surprised or afraid, and they were not panicked or hurried. They are not ordinary people. Your Majesty might as well ask them to find out the truth." The old man suggested.
Hearing this, the emperor pondered for a while and came up with an idea in his mind. He called out and asked someone to bring Pan Ning and others.
Pan Ning, who was talking to the host, bowed to the two men and walked back with the three children after hearing the summons. The host and Liao Wu thought about it and followed them.
"Why are you here too?" The emperor glanced at the host and Liao Wu who followed in and raised his eyebrows.
