My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

After greeting the fortune-telling old man, Li Nuo said to the little girl, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Dongfang Qing immediately stood up and said happily, "Let's go, let's go..."

Watching his granddaughter leave with Li Nuo, Dongfang Xuan shook his head and flipped through an ancient book in his hand.

The Lifespan Extension Pill, is it real...

If it is real, why has there never been any record of this pill before?

If it is fake, how has the Emperor of Daxia extended his life, and those small country emperors, there would be no need for them to relinquish power...

Not only him, but strong figures from all over the continent are questioning the same thing.

Recently, the matter of the Lifespan Extension Pill has been spreading wildly, causing quite a few deaths, but no one has seen it, and more and more strong figures have become suspicious of it.

There are even rumors saying that this matter is an outright lie.

It is suggested that members of the School of Cross and Vertical are stirring up the continent's situation, forcing imperial families to abdicate, breaking through their cultivation bottlenecks by altering the status of nations.

Just as this statement was becoming increasingly believed.

Wei Country, Imperial Palace.

In the Imperial Garden, a figure in a Dragon Robe, with his back to a middle-aged man, asked, "Why has it taken so long to return?"

The middle-aged man said, "I was originally sent to chase a Xia Country official, who undermined our major plan in Zhao Country. If he couldn't be recruited, he must not be left alive, but something delayed me on the way."

The figure admired a flower in the garden, asking, "Oh, what happened?"

The middle-aged man slowly said, "On the road, I encountered a mysterious figure who gave me something to deliver to Your Majesty."

The figure showed a puzzled expression, asking, "What is it?"

The middle-aged man said, "The Lifespan Extension Pill."

The figure in the Dragon Robe suddenly lifted his head, revealing an aged face, with murky eyes from which two sharp glints shot out: "What, the Lifespan Extension Pill is real!"

The middle-aged man took a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to the old man in the Dragon Robe, and said, "I can't discern if it's real, Your Majesty should see for yourself."

The old man eagerly reached out, took the porcelain bottle, and poured out a blood-red pill.

He placed the pill in his palm, examining it closely.

The pill seemed ordinary, but it certainly bore a strange power.

The old man was about to bring it to his mouth, but the middle-aged man said, "The origin of this pill is questionable, Your Majesty should think carefully..."

The old man waved his hand, saying, "It doesn't matter."

With his cultivation, no poison in this world could harm him.

The pill melted immediately upon entering his mouth, and that power also merged into his body.

The next moment, the middle-aged man's gaze suddenly tightened.

Just after the pill entered, the nearly white hair on the old man across from him rapidly turned black at an incredible speed.

At the same time, the wrinkles on his face swiftly disappeared.

In an instant, he transitioned from an old man to a middle-aged appearance.

Emperor Wei looked down at his hands, his eyes sparkling with brilliance. Although this change was mostly external, he could feel that his life span had indeed increased somewhat.

The Lifespan Extension Pill is real!

He immediately looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Besides giving you the pill, what else did that person say?"

The middle-aged man steadied his mind and slowly said, "He said if given enough imperial blood, he could refine more Lifespan Extension Pills, but he would take half as his reward..."

Emperor Wei slightly squinted his eyes.

Taking half as a reward is somewhat greedy, but he is qualified to be greedy.

On this continent, he is currently the only known person capable of refining this kind of pill.

If he didn't want a reward, I would instead doubt his intentions.

Emperor Wei gazed into the distance, his eyes flickering, his thoughts unknown...

...

As the end of the year approached, the continent's countries were not peaceful.

First, the royal families of small nations were successively wiped out, and the imperial lines of various countries, to preserve themselves, could only relinquish power to save their lives.

It was thought that with no small country emperors to take the throne, the matter would gradually quiet down; yet, unexpectedly, those people dared to target the imperial families of the major countries.

Chu Country, Wei Country, Zhao Country, Qi Country..., these Four Great Dynasties, also started having imperial members dying due to various incidents.

This rendered the rumor that the Lifespan Extension Pill was a fabrication effortlessly debunked.

If such a pill did not exist, how could so many dare to take risks?

This time, it was the turn of the major imperial families to be in panic.

Those royal members far from the capitals immediately moved to the capital city seeking protection.

Compared to other countries, Daxia's Chang'an appeared particularly calm.

The nobles had originally left Chang'an to escape death, so it was impossible for them to move back; some even found newly built, luxurious residences of some nobles who relocated to places, empty overnight.

Once a source of pride, their identity had now become a deadly blade, likely only abandoning everything, finding a place where no one knows them, hiding under a different name, offered a chance to survive.

Chang'an.

Yunmeng Academy.

"Good day, sir!"

"Greetings, sir!"

Li Nuo walked out of Yunmeng Academy, with students bowing and greeting him from time to time.

After finishing the tutoring session, he wasn't idle. When he had time, he'd visit various academies to inspect, lecture, and such.

Not long ago, he also appointed himself an official position.

Vice Director of the Imperial College.

Now his position in the court is vastly different from last year.

Essentially, for any position below the third-rank, he could fill out the appointment form himself, apply in the morning, and be appointed in the afternoon.

The Imperial College, unlike the Ministry of Justice and the Secretariat, didn't wield much power, overseeing only academic guidance, managing all of Daxia's academies, including the Four Great Academy.
