Chapter 2 Are all the golden pills I eat poisonous?
Wang Jian and Zhang Han on the side were stunned.

You should know that achieving immortality is His Majesty's greatest wish after unifying the six kingdoms.

Anyone who dares to stop His Majesty from seeking immortality will have only one outcome - death!

Your Majesty has made many tours to the East, not just to check on the political achievements in various places.

At the same time, it is also to visit famous places and historical sites in various places, hoping to find immortals in order to achieve immortality.

His Majesty even spent a huge amount of money to build a fleet of thousands of people.
He asked the imperial teacher Xu Fu to lead the fleet out to sea many times to search for the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou in order to obtain the elixir of life.

As a result, this kid actually dared to say in front of Ying Zheng that he would not live for three years!

He's finished!
When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Yi say that he would not live for three years, his face turned cold and he continued to ask: "Zhao boy, what basis do you have to say that the emperor will not live for three years? Do you have any evidence?"

Ying Zheng really wanted to know how a three-year-old boy like Zhao Yi could know that he would not live long.

Zhao Yi replied in a childish tone, "Hey! That old guy Ying Zheng dreams of immortality all day long. He likes to eat golden pills. How can he not die?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a little puzzled.

How can eating the golden elixir lead to one's own death?

Didn’t those alchemists say that those elixirs could prolong one’s life?

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "What does eating the golden elixir have to do with his death? Don't those golden elixirs prolong life?"

"And I have a friend who also takes Jindan occasionally. Every time he takes it, his face becomes rosy and he feels healthy."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "It's over. Your friend, Lao Zhao, won't live long either."

"The reason why people die after eating the golden elixir is closely related to its raw materials."

"Do you know what materials are generally needed to refine the golden elixir?"

Ying Zheng has been eating golden elixirs for so many years, so of course he knows what ingredients the golden elixirs are made of.

After all, all raw materials must be approved by him.

So Ying Zheng replied: "Generally, there are mountain mineral essences such as cinnabar, lead, and sulfur, as well as plant essences such as ginseng and ganoderma."

Zhao Yi was surprised and asked, "How do you know so clearly? The friend you are talking about is not yourself, right?"

Ying Zheng denied it, "No, no, I really have a friend who likes to eat it. You should tell me why the golden elixir can kill people."

When Zhao Yi heard his scumbag father say this, he realized that his father was most likely also eating golden elixirs.

But it's normal.

During the Qin Dynasty, many wealthy and powerful nobles ate elixirs, after all, it was the First Emperor who took the lead in doing so.

Everyone wanted to prolong their lives, so they followed suit and ate it. It was definitely the right thing to do to follow the emperor.

Could it be possible that the emperor could not eat bad food?
After all, there is not much popular science about heavy metal these days.

So Zhao Yi planned to give some heavy metal science advice to persuade his scumbag father not to eat the golden elixir.

Otherwise, before you can find out the reason why your father abandoned his wife and children, your own father will die of heavy metal poisoning.

Zhao Yi slowly explained: "As you know, the golden elixir is made from cinnabar, lead, and sulfur. These are essentially the same kind of substances as gold, iron, and copper."

"And these things are poisonous to the human body."

"When you first start eating, you'll feel your face turn red and your body feel hot, but that's just the initial sign of poisoning."

"As you eat more and more, toxins begin to accumulate and the poisoning becomes more and more serious."

"Other symptoms will appear later, such as cold sweats, shivering, headaches and dizziness."

"In the end, the body can no longer bear it, and the person will die from the poison."

"And let me tell you, for people who have eaten too many golden pills and died of poison, their bodies will have a hard time decaying after death, and even insects and ants won't come to eat them."

"Hey, Lao Zhao, why are you sweating so much?"

Ying Zheng, who was sweating coldly at Zhao Yi's words, quickly explained: "The soup is too hot."

Ying Zheng already believed it about 80% in his heart. What the child said was right. The golden elixir was poisonous!
Because Zhao Yi had the symptoms of poisoning such as headache, dizziness and trembling, he himself also had them.

He now wanted to throw away the golden elixir he was carrying to avoid being poisoned. "Zhao boy, do you know how to cure the poison of the golden elixir? I can tell my friend and save my friend."

When Zhao Yi saw Ying Zheng asking about the antidote, he knew that he had taken his words to heart.

This father still knows how to listen to advice.

Zhao Yi was too lazy to expose his scumbag father's fabricated friendship.

So he answered: "To cure the poison of the golden elixir, first of all, you can't eat the golden elixir anymore. Then if you want to restore your health, you have to do the five mores."

Ying Zheng quickly asked: "Which five?"

Zhao Yi raised his hand and spread his fingers. "Drink more milk, eat more eggs, eat more vegetables, drink more water, and exercise more. Continue this detoxification for a month or two, and it will be enough."

Ying Zheng doubted, "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple. Eggs and milk will bind to toxins in the body and then be excreted."

……

After a while, Zhao Yi said goodbye to Ying Zheng and returned to the village.

After some conversation, Zhao Yi felt that his scumbag father was a decent person.

So he decided to do some business with his father and sell some good things from his village.

In the past three years, Zhao Yi has created many good things in the village with the help of the system, but he has always been worried about not having a way to sell them.

Doing business requires sound sales channels.

Now that I have met this scumbag father of mine, this problem has been solved.

Ying Zheng upstairs looked at Zhao Yi who was leaving.

Zhang Han, who was standing by, clasped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to follow and investigate Zhao Yi?"

Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "Forget it. Although this kid is young, he is a strange person. It would be bad to disturb him."

"Anyway, he has made an appointment with me and wants to do business with me tomorrow."

"I am curious about what kind of business he wants to do with me."

"Wait a minute, remember to fix up the Zhao family's shop and house. I'm going there in a couple of days to discuss business with Zhao."

Zhang Han half-knelt and clasped his fists, saying, "I obey your command."

After saying that, Ying Zheng took out the golden elixir he carried with him and threw it on the ground.

Wang Jian, who had followed Ying Zheng for decades, knew that Ying Zheng was going to be angry.

Now Ying Zheng already knows that the golden elixir is poisonous!

It can also poison people to death!

This means that those alchemists who refine elixirs will not have a good ending.

After all, the previous example of Confucianism is there.

After Ying Zheng returned to the imperial carriage, he immediately issued a secret order.

All the alchemists in the palace will be executed along with their entire clans.

……

The next day, Zhao Mansion.

Ying Zheng had just finished his breakfast - hot milk and egg custard.

Ying Zheng cherished his life very much and followed Zhao Yi's doctor's advice completely. He ate milk and eggs every morning, noon and night for the past two days and exercised regularly. Then he felt that his health had indeed improved a little.

Zhang Han walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yi is here."

"Okay, bring him here. I want to see what kind of business he wants to do."

After a while, Wang Jian and Zhang Han walked in with Zhao Yi, who was looking around and carrying a small bag.
