He didn't have even a ten thousandth of confidence in the medicinal solution concocted by Yang shi. However, just as the other party said, if he couldn't think of any other solution, this Royal Elder wouldn't even be able to live past three minutes.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well give it a try!
No matter what, this Yang shi had successfully treated Ling Tianyu's wife, Du Miaoxuan, and the others. Even though his actions were extremely unreliable and left one scratching their heads in confusion, he was their only hope.
Ten breaths later, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try!"
He could only make a Hail Mary attempt.
At this moment, there was nothing else he could do.
After making up his mind, Emperor Shen Zhui picked up the jade bottle on the table and walked over to the Royal Elder.
"Royal Elder, pardon me..."
He pried open his mouth with a spoon and poured the medicinal solution down his throat.
"Wuuuu..."
Even though Royal Elder Shen Hong was on the verge of death, he was still conscious. Feeling the medicinal solution being forcefully poured into his mouth, he nearly cried.
He had seen everything that had happened previously, and he knew that Wang Chong's actions in summoning Yang shi left him feeling extremely stifled.
He was the Royal Elder of Tianxuan Kingdom, an expert who was even more respected than the emperor himself. Yet, to bring an untested poison over... and use him as a Pill Sample Beast! Furthermore, it was the kind of poison that would kill him if he were to make a mistake...
Why is my life so bitter? It isn't easy for me to live peacefully, and it isn't possible for me to die peacefully either...
Soon, Emperor Shen Zhui forced the medicinal solution in the jade bottle into Royal Elder Shen Hong's mouth.
Cough cough cough!
Shen Hong's eyes rolled back, and after struggling for a moment, he stopped moving.
"Royal Elder..."
Emperor Shen Zhui's face paled. He retreated a few steps and burst into tears.
Did he fail?
Not only was the Royal Elder the cornerstone of Tianxuan Kingdom, more importantly, he was indebted to him and their blood relationship!
The Royal Elder who addressed Shen Hong as Royal Elder was actually the previous two generations of emperor, his biological grandfather.
To think that his biological grandfather would die right before his eyes, and furthermore, he was forced to drink the medicinal solution down his throat. The grief he felt was unimaginable.
"If the medicinal solution was so easy to concoct, poison masters would be worthless..."
Liu Ling shook his head. Then, he turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Yang shi, even though Shen Hong would have died even if he didn't consume the medicinal solution, he died under your medicinal solution. Therefore, you should be considered as a murderer, right?"
"Murder?"
"That's right. You were the one who concocted the medicinal solution and you were the one who ordered it to be fed. Now that the person is dead, if not you, whose fault is it?" Liu Ling stared at Zhang Xuan intently.
"Yang shi, weren't you very confident in the medicinal solution?" Emperor Shen Zhui turned to look at Yang shi with a questioning gaze.
I listened to you and fed it to the Old Ancestor. But now, the person who fed it to him died ….
"My responsibility?"
"Indeed, Shen Hong is the cornerstone of Tianxuan Kingdom. Now that he has died under your medicinal solution, why don't you take his place as the guardian here? Consider it as compensation to them!" Liu Ling said.
Actually, he also knew that if he did not inject the medicinal liquid, Shen Hong would definitely die. Thus, he purposely said this for this purpose.
Shen Hong's greatest use in the kingdom was to ensure that no powers dared to make a move against him. Since he was already dead, as long as Yang shi agreed to stay behind, the effects would definitely be much greater than if he were alive.
In fact, Tianxuan Kingdom might even become a Tier 2 or Tier 1 Kingdom.
"Guard this place?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Impossible!"
He intended to wait for Emperor Shen Zhui to gather all the Tongxuan realm manuals before leaving. Wait here?
You must be joking!
"Impossible? Not only did Yang shi fail to save Shen Hong, he even caused his death. Doesn't he feel the slightest bit of regret? "Liu Ling frowned.
"Caused his death? You are thinking too much … I thought that it was something serious! "Zhang Xuan smiled." Don't worry, with me around, it won't be that easy for him to die! "
After which, he walked up to Royal Ancestor Shen Hong, raised his hand, and slapped him.
Pah!
A crisp sound echoed.
Cough cough cough!
Following which, a series of coughs sounded. The motionless Shen Hong spat out a mouthful of medicinal liquid and slowly opened his eyes.
"This …"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Liu Ling, Zheng Fei, and the others, who were about to speak, widened their eyes in shock, afraid that they were seeing things.
"Old Ancestor, you …"
Emperor Shen Zhui walked forward doubtfully, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"You unfilial fellow, are you trying to choke me to death? Cough cough … "
Shen Hong's beard puffed up, and he didn't look as though he would die at any moment.
"Yang shi, what is going on …"
Emperor Shen Zhui hurriedly asked.
The Old Ancestor was clearly motionless, so why did he suddenly wake up and even speak?
What was going on?
He wasn't the only one. Even Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and Zheng Fei felt their world collapsing.
Reviving the dead?
This can't be real, right?
"Shen Hong's body is weak, and he is on the verge of death. I asked you to feed him the medicinal liquid, but you did so instead. The viscous medicinal liquid blocked his windpipe, making him look as though a dead person … As for why he suddenly regained consciousness, it's simple. My medicinal liquid was successfully concocted, and it worked!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly.
It might seem bizarre, but it was actually very simple.
The medicinal liquid that he concocted was verified by the Library of Heaven's Path, so there was no problem with its effectiveness. Even though Shen Hong was on the verge of death, he still managed to recover his vitality after consuming it.
Initially, Emperor Shen Zhui should have just fed him a little, but Emperor Shen Zhui poured the entire bottle in. With so much medicinal liquid blocking his throat, it was already a miracle that he didn't choke to death.
It was precisely because Zhang Xuan noticed this that he slapped Shen Hong to force the medicinal liquid out of his throat, allowing him to regain consciousness.
"This …"
After hearing the explanation, Emperor Shen Zhui and the three master teachers were dumbfounded.
A random concoction was actually … f * cking effective?
Other poison masters would have to prepare all kinds of apparatus to concoct a medicinal solution, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake. Yet, this fellow, just casually pouring it with his two hands... and yet, he was still able to succeed...
God, are you kidding me?
Of course, this wasn't the most shocking thing to them. More importantly... Yang shi didn't even know what the medicinal solution was a moment ago, but in the next moment, he was able to concoct it...
Heavens, Earth, who can tell me what is going on?
Could it really be like what he said, that he learned it on the spot?
Closing my eyes and standing still for a while is called learning?
Furthermore, he even learned the occupation of a poison master …
The four of them felt like they were dreaming.
"Yang shi, thank you for saving my life!"
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Old Ancestor Shen Hong struggled to climb down from the bed and clasped his fists.
No matter how close one was to death, as long as one consumed the Ten Perfection Medicinal Liquid, one would regain the final radiance of the setting sun and live like an ordinary person for a period of time.
Although he did not have the strength, it was very easy for him to get out of bed.
"There's no need for such formalities. Execute a punching routine for me."
Not bothering to waste his breath on the other party, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
This was the reason why he concocted the medicinal solution to allow the other party to regain his mobility. Since he had already stood up, he should hurry up.
"Execute a punching routine? My body is currently weak and I can't even muster the slightest bit of zhenqi. Even if I were to execute a punching routine, it would be useless... It would be best for me not to embarrass myself! "
Shen Hong shook his head. "After experiencing life and death, I have thought things through. If I can protect the kingdom, then so be it. Even if I can't, it is fate. There is no need to force it..."
"..." Zhang Xuan.
The reason why I asked you to execute a punching routine is so that the Library of Heaven's Path can compile a book on you so that I can understand what is going on with you. Why are you giving me a long lecture?
To think that you are even talking about philosophy...
"Brother Shen Hong, it is indeed not bad that you have such an epiphany after experiencing life and death! All riches and honor are useless. What is most important is one's own strength. Even though the authority of the kingdom is great, it restricts your growth. Otherwise, given your talent, you would have long reached Zongshi realm. "
Before Zhang Xuan could say anything, Liu Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. His eyes were filled with praise.
"Indeed, it is a pity that I came to this realization too late!"
Royal Ancestor Shen Hong sighed. Then, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan and said, "Even so, I still have to thank Yang shi for your help. Even without my strength, I am still glad..."
Just as Royal Ancestor Shen Hong was about to continue speaking, he saw Yang shi's face turning livid. Following which, a slap flew toward him.
Pah!
It landed on the back of his head.
Padah!
Halfway through his words, Royal Ancestor Shen Hong's vision darkened. He collapsed to the ground and fainted.
"I asked you to execute a punching routine, so execute it. You really talk too much nonsense..."
Clapping his hands, Zhang Xuan harrumphed.
Turning around, he saw Emperor Shen Zhui and the three master teachers staring at him dumbfoundedly.
