    “However, the Immortal Pill is an entity akin to an immortal herb. Even if it


    has been exposed to sunlight, its effects are still incredibly potent,”


    “When you use it, double the amount.”


    The Empress Dowager experienced mixed emotions—she was thrilled to have finally located the Immortal Pill, yet devastated by the thought that improper handling had diminished its medicinal properties.


    Likewise, the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital were overjoyed. They had finally discovered the Immortal Pill, avoiding the perilous journey into the depths of Mt. Daling. Now, they could promptly ascertain the true efficacy of the Immortal Pill.<div>

    The Imperial Physician Hospital had issued a notice. It was written clearly in ck and white, asking for “Immortal Pill” with a thousand gold and a hundred gold.


    Imperial Physician Yang had publicly epted the wooden box in front of the gathering witnesses, making it impossible for the pce to renege on their offer.


    Before long, a chest filled with gold was transported from the pce to the Renhe Hall. In ancient times, one catty equated to 16 liang. A thousand taels, therefore, amounted to a thousand liang, which tranted to roughly 60 catties. Adding another 100 catties of gold, the total was 160 catties of gold. It was a truly remarkable spectacle.


    The crowd swelled around Renhe Hall, everyone eager to catch a glimpse of the fortunate individual behind this windfall. Some sought to gain knowledge about the appearance of the Immortal Pill and where it could be found. A few even brought their unmarried daughters, hoping for a prompt betrothal.


    Marrying into a wealthy family remained a cherished dream for many women.


    The bystanders initially assumed that this young man from the countryside would be easy to influence, but to their astonishment, he remained out of sight.


    Even though the gold was transported to the Benevolence Hall, the banks managers, ountants, and couriers arrived in their carriage. Rumor had it they were there to facilitate the gold’s transport.


    The young man believed that carrying gold was conspicuous and requested to exchange it all for banknotes. The bank staff obligingly loaded the box containing the gold onto their carriage and departed.


    Despite the departure of the goldden carriage, the spectators remained, eagerly anticipating the young man’s appearance.


    At this juncture, a government bailiff arrived to post a notice. The notice warned people about the perils of venturing into the depths of Mount Daling, including ferocious beasts, venomous snakes, and toxic fumes. It cautioned that the Immortal Pill was a rare discovery, not worth risking one’s life for, and that the high price offered by the royal pce was justified.


    The Empress Dowager had taken heed of Qin Zhenzhen’s advice and had the officials draft the notice. Qin Zhenzhen reasoned, “Without this notice, more and more people will flock to Mount Daling in search of the Immortal Pill.


    Many will lose their lives in the process.”


    The Immortal Pill was a precious, mythical object. If the area around Mount Daling became a burial ground for adventurers, the Pill itself might disappear from the mountain.


    Most people, after reading the notice, abandoned their quest for the Immortal Pill. However, there remained a few persistent individuals who believed in their own luck.


    These resolute souls had never set eyes on the Immortal Pill nor possessed an image to guide their search.


    His only hope was to meet the young man and ask him about it.


    However, they did not see him in person from the beginning to the end.


    The young man got someone to distribute arge basket of copper coins outside. While everyone was snatching the money, and he took the carriage and left..</font>
