My father is Yongle, and all I want is to cultivate immortality.

Chapter 24 Refining the Youth-Preserving Pill: The Prince of Han Only Wants to Cultivate Immortality

Not long after, both Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao left the Prince of Han's residence.

Zhu Gaochi and the Princess of Han both personally saw him off.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to see me off anymore," Zhu Di said. "The most important thing is alchemy. You'd better hurry up and refine the Rejuvenation Pill."

Zhu Gaoxu was so tired of hearing it.

"I understand, I understand."

Immediately afterwards, he watched Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao leave.

Princess Han, observing this, said with great delight, "My lord, does this mean we have a good chance of taking up our fiefdom in Yunnan this time?"

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was solemn.

"What's wrong?" asked the Princess Consort of Han.

"Oh, my dear consort, don't be too optimistic. I know my father's character better than anyone else."

"Although he said nice things, it's hard to say whether he'll actually let me go to my fiefdom in the end."

"Then what should we do?" Princess Han asked. "If we can't go to Yunnan, won't your hopes of cultivating immortality be dashed?"

"It's not that there's no chance, but the cultivation speed will slow down," Zhu Gaoxu said. "Let's take it one step at a time. Since His Majesty wants the Rejuvenation Pill, I'll leave him hanging for a few days."

Princess Consort of Han stared intently at Zhu Gaochi and couldn't help but ask, "Husband, tell me the truth, how many Rejuvenation Pills do you still have?"

"No fewer than five!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

The Princess Consort of Han covered her mouth, her voice filled with shock: "So many?"

"I have failed many times in refining pills these past few days, but failure is the mother of success."

"My alchemy skills have improved dramatically. It wouldn't be difficult for me to refine this Rejuvenation Pill now," Zhu Gaoxu said confidently.

Upon seeing this, the Princess of Han covered her mouth and opened it slightly.

"My lord, you are truly amazing!" said the Princess Consort of Han. "In that case, why not just give the elixir to His Majesty directly?"

"snort!"

Zhu Gaochi said, "My father is pestering me to go to Yunnan to take up my fiefdom. I'll just let him be anxious!"

Princess Consort of Han: ...

She looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange expression.

"My beloved concubine, why are you looking at me like that?"

"My husband, I've just realized how truly wicked you are!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu chuckled faintly, "Right now, alchemy is the most important thing!"

"I was planning to refine other pills and needed a few good pill cauldrons. I didn't expect my father to send them to me."

The Princess Consort of Han perked up and asked, "Then, my husband, what kind of elixir are you going to refine this time?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled mysteriously: "You're so smart, why don't you guess?"

He sipped the tea on the table and began to examine the several alchemical cauldrons in front of him.

Princess Consort of Han instinctively asked, "Could it be an elixir of immortality?"

"Pfft!" Zhu Gaoxu spat out a mouthful of old tea, speechless. "Ahem, my dear consort, do you really think this elixir of immortality is like cabbage, something you can just concoct whenever you want?"

The Princess Consort of Han said, "My husband, if it were someone else, I might not believe it, but if you take action, you will definitely succeed."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but kiss the Princess of Han.

The pill he refined this time was none other than the Youth Preservation Pill.

This Youth-Preserving Pill is truly extraordinary.

By consuming this Youth-Preserving Pill, one can maintain youth. Even if one cannot achieve immortality, consuming this pill will ensure eternal youth.

Take the King of Han for example. He is already over thirty years old. If he takes this Youth-Preserving Pill, he will maintain his youthful appearance forever.

This might not be an attractive elixir for men, but for women, especially beautiful women, the allure of this youth-preserving elixir is self-evident.

…………

After Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao left the residence of the Princess of Han, Yao Guangxiao gave the emperor a half-smile.

"Hey old monk, why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Di said awkwardly.

Yao Guangxiao laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that as long as this prince refines the Rejuvenation Pill, you will send him to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom. Is that your true intention?"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes: "Let me tell you, I was just kidding him."

"This lad has many secrets about him; how can I let him go to Yunnan to take up his fiefdom?"

"This kid has to stay here."

Yao Guangxiao sighed and shook his head.

"Old monk, what's with that expression?" Zhu Di looked at him.

"I sigh, Your Highness the Prince of Han, I can no longer see through you."

"If I were to evaluate him, I could only say one thing," Yao Guangxiao said.

"Stop rambling on and just tell me."

Yao Guangxiao said, "This Prince of Han is no ordinary person. In the future, I'm afraid his ambitions will not lie in the capital, and he may not even be tolerated by the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di's pupils contracted.

He stared intently at Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. I'm just telling the truth."

"Anyway, I don't care, he's my son, and I'm his father!"

"As long as I'm here, he's not allowed to go anywhere!" Zhu Di said domineeringly.

"You're being way too domineering as a father," Yao Guangxiao said speechlessly.

…………

Inside the Prince of Han's residence, Zhu Gaoxu found a room and ordered someone to place the alchemy cauldron inside.

Because he needs to use the fire control technique from the cultivation of immortality, and this fire control technique can only be used by cultivators.

If he were refining pills in the courtyard, given his identity as a cultivator, it would probably be impossible to hide it.

Zhu Gaoxu has already revealed his identity as a master alchemist, so he cannot reveal his identity as a cultivator, otherwise things will become very troublesome.

For him, the most important thing was to cultivate immortality discreetly.

"Luckily, I have a fire elemental root and possess domineering flames; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to control fire so well!" Zhu Gaoxu muttered to himself.

The moment he began cultivating in the cultivation space, he discovered that his spiritual root was actually a fire spiritual root.

Although I don't possess the five major spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth like Han Tianzun, having this fire spiritual root is still quite good.

"Next, we'll look at the ingredients for the Youth-Preserving Pill." Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly; this was no challenge for him.

With a thought, the ingredients for the Youth-Preserving Pill appeared before him.

"Next, it's time for alchemy!"

His eyes burned with passion!

His experience with alchemy over the past few days has made him very interested in the art.

If he really becomes a master alchemist in the future, even the low-level pills he refines will be considered treasures by ordinary people!

"Refine it for me!!"

Zhu Gaoxu placed the medicinal herbs into the cauldron and immediately used his fire control technique.

Instantly, the fire control technique ignited within the cauldron, beginning to refine the medicinal herbs inside!

"This alchemy cauldron is indeed a fine cauldron!"

After using it for a period of time, Zhu Gaoxu saw that the cauldron could withstand burning, which proved that it was indeed excellent!

"This father of mine is actually quite reliable!"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled faintly, realizing that this alchemy cauldron was indeed quite good!
