Even if he had the same materials as before, he wouldn't be sure he could refine it successfully.
He thought he had successfully refined it after exhausting his energy.
But in the end, it turned out like this.
Actually, the side effects of this elixir of longevity are not as simple as they seem.
If it were just disfigurement, he could still accept it.
But it's not just disfigurement.
Every night of the full moon, he must absorb the essence of women to maintain his youthful state.
If he doesn't absorb the essence of women, he will still age.
Even so, it cannot truly restore his body to true youthfulness.
Because he found that over the years, his vitality has been slowly declining.
His current state is largely due to his Heaven-Human Realm strength.
Yes, he is already in the Heaven-Human Realm, but the outside world doesn't know about it.
Even Li Er doesn't know that he is already a Heaven-Human Realm expert.
This is his trump card, and also the trump card of the Tang Dynasty Royal Family.
He knows very well that at any time, he cannot let his opponent figure out his trump card.
Otherwise, you're not far from death.
This state can be achieved without the elixir of longevity.
It can be said that the elixir of longevity is of no use to him at his current strength.
Instead, it brought him a lot of inconvenience and pain.
When he first peeked into the secrets of heaven and refined the elixir of longevity, he already knew that longevity comes at a price.
For ordinary people, being able to achieve this effect can indeed be called longevity.
But for martial artists, it's very useless.
Because, when martial artists reach a high level, they can also have this effect.
So, for martial artists, taking the elixir of longevity again is a waste of time.
But, it is difficult to disobey the Emperor's orders, and he is powerless.
Now, such legends are appearing in the martial arts world again, how can he believe it?
However, even if Li Er didn't say anything, he would investigate it clearly.
If possible, he also wants to return to normal.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to verify it."
"However, this matter may not be as simple as it seems." Yuan Shi pondered for a moment and said.
"En? Is there any news?" Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked.
"According to the information received from the Unruly Men, those who traded in the Wanbao Pawn Shop and increased their strength, less than one-third are still alive." Yuan Shi took a deep breath and said.
Hearing that less than one-third were alive, Li Er's face changed instantly.
Sure enough, things were not as simple as he imagined.
"What's going on?" Li Er asked with a frown.
"According to the Unruly Men's intelligence..."
Yuan Shi recounted the latest information received from the Unruly Men.
After listening, Li Er fell silent. This news was not good news for him.
Even if they traded with this Wanbao Pawn Shop, they had to pay an unimaginable price.
"Yuan Shi, you are the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. You should know what to do." Li Er looked at the Unruly Leader with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, I know what to do." The Unruly Leader nodded.
"So, find out as soon as possible what is going on with this Wanbao Pawn Shop." Li Er said coldly.
"This subordinate obeys."
The Unruly Leader left, and the entire hall fell silent.
Li Er was expressionless, his eyes flickering, his mind unknown.
"Daoist, can you calculate anything?" Li Er suddenly asked.
Suddenly, another voice sounded in the quiet hall.
"Your Majesty, the information I can calculate is no different from the Unruly Leader's investigation."
"Specifically, with my current strength, I still can't calculate it." A man in white clothes walked out from the shadows.
Li Er was very disappointed to hear this. Could it be that there really is no way to achieve his wish?
Even with the current strength of this man, he couldn't figure out what was going on, and he was also helpless.
"However, Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be investigated clearly. According to my calculations, this Wanbao Pawn Shop is extremely mysterious and powerful."
"If there really is such a thing as the art of longevity in this world, it is very likely to be found here." The man in white said in a serious tone.
"Is what Daoist Li said true?" Li Er's eyes lit up, and he looked excitedly at the man in white.
This man in white was none other than Li Chunfeng, a person of equal status to the Unruly Leader, who was known for his ability to predict the future.
