The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"As the saying goes, an immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life. Alright, take this pill and do what I told you to do."

"An immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life..."

Holding the medicine, Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

He felt that when he returned, he would definitely change the black bird totem into a dragon.

He didn't know whether the Black Bird had protected the Great Qin, but this immortal with dragon horns had indeed given him a elixir to reverse aging.

"Then, I shall take my leave."

"go Go."

Bai Zhi waved her hand; she had no intention of getting anything from Ying Zheng.

Because the other side is neither a martial arts world nor a fantasy world, but seems to be just an ordinary parallel historical world.

Ying Zheng looked at the pill in his hand, but still chose not to take it there.

After all, if I become younger here, how am I supposed to explain it to the soldiers and ministers when I go back?

It would be better to demonstrate it in front of everyone.

But just as he was about to step out the door, Ying Zheng stopped.

"Immortal Baizhi, may I borrow your brush and ink here to draw your likeness?"

"Oh dear, is it really necessary? Wait, I'll have Master Bailu take a picture of it for me, and then I'll print it out for you..."

Ying Zheng stood in the main hall, holding the elixir of rejuvenation in his hand.

"My beloved ministers, during my tour, I visited the land of immortals and gods. There, an immortal touched my head and granted me immortality. This medicine is proof of that!"

The ministers below all looked at Ying Zheng above with strange expressions.

His Majesty is a firm believer in those supernatural tales, but they may not necessarily believe them.

There is no such thing as an elixir of immortality or any immortal being in the world.

If there truly are immortals, then wouldn't there have long ago been great men with the power of immortals who came to the mortal world and unified this land? Why did it take until now for Your Majesty to achieve this?

How could Ying Zheng not be unaware of what his ministers were thinking?

However, human nature is to cherish life and fear death. Even he, as the one who unified six kingdoms, could not escape the fear of death.

He had previously consumed those elixirs simply because he believed that even if they couldn't grant immortality, they could at least improve one's health.

Unexpectedly, it was full of poison.

If it weren't for that Bai Zhi Immortal, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive even that long of tour.

But now, everything has been resolved.

He will regain his youth!

Holding the pill, Ying Zheng swallowed it in one gulp.

A sharp pain overwhelmed him, but he didn't utter a sound.

The ministers and soldiers below stared in disbelief at everything that was happening above.

His Majesty is gradually looking younger than his current middle-aged appearance.

He transformed from a dignified middle-aged man into a slightly immature young man, then into a teenager, and finally into someone who looked only about twelve years old.

"This, this, this..."

The crowd below erupted in uproar.

This is truly a case of rejuvenation!

If this person who had regained his youth were not their emperor, but any other person, they would probably have been unable to resist asking him questions, or even threatening him, to hand over the method to see the immortal.

"Success! Hahaha, success! Everyone, pass on my order: erect statues of the Immortal Bai Zhi throughout the country, and hold local sacrifices every holiday!"

Ying Zheng took out a photograph from his bosom and had a eunuch pass it on.

"This is an immortal? Black hair, red eyes, and dragon horns, he is indeed different from ordinary people."

Some people couldn't contain themselves and started kowtowing in front of the photo while praying silently.

They prayed that the angelica would protect them.

It was a minor bump, but what it did startled us: the photograph began to emit a faint reddish glow.

212 The Wheel of Aspiration and All Wishes with a Hundred Eyes

Within the territory of the Great Qin, statues of Angelica dahurica stood everywhere.

This is not mandatory; on the contrary, everyone participates willingly.

Because worshipping other gods yields no response, but worshipping this immortal, who is said to have bestowed upon His Majesty the elixir of youth, is effective.

After sincere worship, the standing statues would emit a faint golden-red glow.

Under this golden-red light, while it wouldn't be said that all difficulties were eliminated, some minor ailments were still cured.

It should be understood that in this era, even minor illnesses can be the biggest killers.

This effect alone led everyone to regard Angelica as a true deity, and after their daily work, they would sincerely worship her and pray for good health.

These golden-red lights, after lingering for a while, will slowly drift into the sky and disappear.

........

"Bai Zhi, there's an extra circle after your name!!"

Inside the consultation room, Bai Lu stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.

"What??"

Bai Zhi seemed a little dazed, and her dark circles under her eyes appeared quite pronounced.

She hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. Every time she tries to sleep, she hears strange prayers, which annoys her terribly.

I arrived at the clinic feeling groggy today, and almost fell asleep as soon as I sat down.

"There's something really shiny behind you, like a mirror."

Bai Lu repeated it again.

"Huh? What mirror?"

"Oh, just take out your phone and look at the picture, you'll see."

Bai Zhi scratched her head, somewhat puzzled, and took out her phone.

She was shocked to discover that a bright, mirror-like object, emitting a soft glow, had appeared behind her head.

She was made to look like a Bodhisattva.

"What is this thing? Have I become an immortal or a Buddha?"

Bai Zhi was completely puzzled. Logically speaking, whether she became an immortal or a Buddha, it had nothing to do with her, because she was the model of the Holy Lord. If she were to become anything, she should be a demon.

"Master Bailu, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, I've never seen this before."

Bai Lu shook her head decisively, then offered another guess, "Could it be that some of your abilities have awakened?"

"My ability has awakened? This..."

Others might not know, but Bai Zhi herself certainly does. If she were to awaken any ability, it would be something like a talisman, none of which would have anything to do with this glowing mirror.

Touching her chin, Bai Zhi picked up her phone and snapped a selfie.

Then he sent his photo to the train crew, to Teyvat, and to General Jingyuan.

And asked, "Do you know what's going on? I just woke up today and this thing appeared here."

The fastest reply came from Danheng, who said: "[It's somewhat like the great radiant image in various myths and legends. The information says it's a sacred image attained through cultivating immeasurable vows and practices. It can dispel delusions and break through obstacles, representing the virtue of fulfilling all wishes. It is the radiant image inherent in the nature of every sentient being.]"

But that's a myth from the primitive era; in the interstellar age, such a notion has long since disappeared.

Danheng's reply was essentially saying nothing.

Jingyuan then replied: "I don't know, but I think this thing should provide pretty good lighting."

Angelica dahurica: .....

Ding Dong

The notification sound rang again. Bai Zhi clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Ying.

[This must be the power of wishes, derived from people's prayers and desires, and also the source of divine power... The halo behind your head is a manifestation of the accumulated power of wishes.]

How many people have you won over with the intensity of this vow?

Bai Zhi: [I didn't see it. I don't think I did anything.]

Bai Zhi scratched her head, wondering what was going on. How did she suddenly become so admired? She had been right here in the clinic all this time.

To say how many people were saved, it seems to be only three.

One was Misaka Mikoto, one was Ying Zheng, and there was also an old man surnamed Zhu who came with his wife, who was about to die a few days ago. He was dressed simply. She gave these two lucky people a pill to reverse aging.

How did this turn into so many people praying to themselves, and even having so many more wishes?

Bai Zhi: [Can't we directly absorb this power?]

Although she didn't know where these wishes came from, she wouldn't mind absorbing them directly to increase her strength.

Shadow: [No, willpower is poisonous. God, directly absorbing it, while it might increase strength extremely rapidly, will corrupt the mind, and in the end, might turn you into the ideal form of the willpower itself.]

Typically, this type of person is a machine that only knows how to fulfill wishes.

A moment later, Ying sent another message.

Shadow: [Bai Zhi, can you use your willpower?]

Bai Zhi: [No, wasn't it said that it can't be used?]

Shadow: [It's not that it can't be used, it's just that it can't be directly absorbed.]

Shadow: [Besides absorption, there are other methods. I'll teach you. You can forge your wish power into the Wheel of a Hundred Wishes, and using its power, you can even unleash power far exceeding your current strength for a short period.]

"Oh, that's what it was."

When Ying mentioned the Wheel of a Hundred Wishes, Bai Zhi immediately understood. Wasn't that the purple halo behind General Thunder in Genshin Impact?

Moreover, in the game, that aura does indeed amplify Thunder General's damage and looks quite cool.

This immediately piqued Bai Zhi's interest.

"Then what is needed to forge this Wheel of a Hundred Wishes?"

After sending the message, Ying replied quickly.

Shadow: [If you possessed the heart of God, you could gather and purify the power of your wishes and faith into pure energy, but unfortunately you don't. Therefore, to avoid the influence of your wishes on yourself, you need to find a suitable object to contain them.]

[This suitable object must be strong enough. The stronger the material itself, the higher the upper limit of the will it can bear. For example, I use the single-mindedness of my dream as the vessel.]

Don't worry about this being stolen and used by someone else, because the power of this wish is directed towards you, so no one else can use its power.

"A material that is strong and durable enough..."

Bai Zhi frowned; for the moment, she couldn't think of anything suitable.

Bai Zhi: [If I want to find materials, but I'm in this state, it's not really appropriate to go out. Is there any way I can keep a low profile...?]

Shadow: [This is quite simple. I'll teach you some methods to temporarily conceal these desires, but you must do it quickly, otherwise, if this amount of desires accumulates too much, it may erode your mind.]

213 How about using unusual objects as carriers?

"Little Baizhi, you look radiant today, like you're glowing."

Inside the Shence Palace, Jing Yuan forced back a laugh and said...

"General, please don't say that... there's a reason for this."

Bai Zhi waved her hand helplessly. She was indeed radiant, but this radiance was in a physical sense.
