Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Chapter 429: The Hope of Revival [1/5]

A physician clad in a grand robe, Apothecary Hui Tian, finally arrived before Toyotomi Hidekata and his associates, carrying a piece of paper—the so-called report.

Toyotomi Hidekata’s mouth curled into a smile, his mood clearly pleasant. If a single Elixir can extend one’s life by a year, the temptation for Immortal Seekers like us is immense.

The other masters of the Shogunate also wore joyful expressions.

Apothecary Hui Tian was the younger brother of Apothecary Hui Ri. Hui Ri had been one of the first Envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and he brought medical texts from the Tang era of the Dragon Country back to Fusang, leading to a dramatic improvement in their medical techniques.

In Fusang, the Hui Ri lineage once held a status comparable to that of Hua Tuo in the Dragon Country, the famed physician who first proposed brain surgery.

"Respected and great masters of the Shogunate," Apothecary Hui Tian said, "this is the compositional analysis of the Elixir. Please, take a look."

Toyotomi Hidekata was the first to take the report. The dense text gave him a headache just looking at it. He passed it to the other Shogunate masters, but they were equally baffled by the numerous technical terms they could not understand.

Any knowledge acquired in school is typically forgotten in as little as three years, or as many as ten. Having lived in the Underground World for hundreds of years, what could they possibly remember of such things?

"We can’t be bothered with this. Just give us a simple explanation."

Yes, it’s not that we don’t understand. We share the same blood as the most famous figures in Fusang’s history; of course we are masters of both literary and martial arts. We simply can’t be bothered to read it, that’s all!

"Of course!" Apothecary Hui Tian nodded and explained in simple terms. "After my analysis, I can confirm that this Elixir, upon consumption, will indeed extend one’s life by one year."

Hearing this, Toyotomi Hidekata and the other Shogunate masters exchanged looks of sheer delight.

Immortal Seekers can live for 1,500 years at most. But with this Elixir... taking one grants an extra year? If we took one every day, we might achieve true immortality!

Toyotomi Hidekata and the others were so overcome with excitement they were at a loss for words.

"However," Hui Tian continued, "the composition of this Elixir was, at first, quite simple. I could identify ingredients like Celestial Mountain Snow Lotus and Changbai Mountains Ginseng. But there is one element that is not a medicinal herb. It is a type of power!"

"..." Toyotomi Hidekata and the others hadn’t been happy for long before their faces stiffened.

"Power? Is it Yuan Energy?" Oda Nobukara, the foremost expert of the Sixth Heavenly Demon Palace and a descendant of Oda Nobunaga, asked sternly.

"If it’s Yuan Energy, we have that," Tokugawa Ieiken, master of the Toshogu Shogunate, declared confidently. "We can infuse Yuan Energy into an Elixir ourselves!"

"Yes, yes, we have Yuan Energy too."

"Our Yuan Energy is vast! Perhaps we could create an even better Elixir!"

"Indeed!"

They were supremely confident.

"No, no, no," Apothecary Hui Tian said, hastily shaking his head. "You are mistaken, great and wise masters of the Shogunate. The power contained within the Elixir is a sacred, supreme force. It is... beyond the Yuan Force cultivated through any Method of Cultivation our Immortal Seekers have discovered."

"What?"

Toyotomi Hidekata and the others were stunned. How was that possible?

The Method of Cultivation for Yuan Force was discovered by countless sages in their quest for the Elixir of Immortality. It was superior to the method of cultivating Inner Strength and had become the mainstream practice in the Underground World.

How could that Wu Tian possibly possess a cultivation method for a higher form of power? It’s utterly impossible!

"Perhaps he has obtained a Celestial Star!" suddenly spoke Yuan Tianjing, the master of the Shrine Shogunate. A descendant of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, he had a penchant for researching the existence of UFOs.

"Yes, that’s the only explanation."
