Gu Qingfeng turned his head and looked at the guardian spirit beside him, thinking that he should be able to give answers to all the questions.

After all, he had followed Qiu Yulong before and had also guarded the secret realm for him. Gu Qingfeng didn't believe that he knew nothing.

"Hey, since there is such a way to prolong life, then the so-called death by divine punishment must be fake, right? Then how did Qiu Yulong die? Also, if this person cares so much about fame, why did he set up a secret realm and leave the Heavenly Demon Scroll? Isn't he afraid of being ruined?"

Gu Qingfeng asked the guardian spirit.

The guardian spirit is already flesh and blood on the felt board, so it is natural that it knows everything.

He just sighed and said, "Well, it's a long story, it started one hundred and fifty years ago..."

Bang!

A big fight interrupted the guardian spirit's long speech.

"Who the hell has time to listen to you reminiscing about the past? Keep your story short."

The guardian spirit stared at Gu Qingfeng blankly, as if he had not yet reacted to the slap in the face.

Bang!

"Speak!"

The Guardian Spirit felt the burning pain on both sides of his cheeks and finally came back to his senses. He quickly said from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, yes, let me make a long story short. My master Qiu Yulong was one of the best alchemists in the past, but he was not the best. There were always a few people who were superior to him. He was born in an alchemy family and he was arrogant since he was a child..."

After one stick of incense.

Gu Qingfeng finally learned the whole story from the guardian spirit.

To put it simply, Qiu Yulong is a very face-conscious person. His biggest dream in life is to become the best alchemist in the world. He is also very conceited and believes that if he, Qiu Yulong, had not been born, the path of alchemy would have been in darkness forever.

He has a very high self-esteem, and after becoming famous, he looks like everyone else to him. As a result, he challenges other alchemists everywhere, but is then badly slapped in the face.

Qiu Yulong was so angry that he began to study the Dao of Alchemy desperately. After he felt that he had made some progress, he challenged again, and was slapped in the face again, and this cycle repeated over and over again.

Finally, he realized that he could not become the best alchemist in the world just by studying alchemy.

So he began to travel around, searching for various ancient books, and studying various unorthodox ways. Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and by chance, he found the scroll of the Longevity Demon.

After that, he relied on the Heavenly Demon Scroll to deceive the people of the world, saying that he had created a divine alchemy method and made the elixir of immortality, and then he became the world's number one alchemist as he wished.

As for why he died?

It was because he sacrificed too much of his lifespan to refine the elixir of immortality and ended up killing himself.

Gu Qingfeng naturally didn't believe this statement. How could a person who cared so much about fame and fortune be willing to sacrifice someone else's life?

According to the guardian spirit, Qiu Yulong did indeed initially refine the elixir of immortality by sacrificing other people's lifespans.

Although Qiu Yulong was obsessed with fame, he was a man with a conscience. He basically used the lives of death row prisoners or those extremely vicious people as sacrifices. However, as the number of people he sacrificed increased, the state where he lived became a place where people could leave their doors unlocked at night and no one picked up things on the streets.

Wild bad guys were almost extinct, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to the bandits outside the city. That day, he directly sacrificed all the bandits in the village. However, after doing all this, he found that among the bodies of the bandits, there were many old people, women, and even children.

After much inquiries, we learned that the group of bandits were actually villagers from nearby villages who could not survive due to famine and became bandits. They usually only robbed the rich to help the poor and never hurt anyone. They were just a group of poor people who wanted to survive.

It was from that day on that Qiu Yulong put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha, determined to never do such evil things again and stop refining the elixir of life.

But the problem is, everyone knows that he can refine the elixir of life. How could those powerful people who are about to die allow him to stop refining it?

As a result, he was threatened and bribed many times, and was even captured and locked up by a mysterious powerful man, who forced him to make elixirs.

He was not afraid of death, but the mysterious strong man threatened him with the lives of his entire family, so Qiu Yulong had no choice but to surrender.

But he couldn't bear to hurt innocent lives, so he could only use his own life.

He thought that after he succeeded in refining the elixir, the mysterious strong man would let him go. However, after the man tasted the sweetness, he was unwilling to let him go.

In addition, the effect of the elixir becomes worse the more you take it. Suppose an elixir can increase your lifespan by ten years. If you take it for the first time, it will increase your lifespan by ten years, but the second time, it will increase your lifespan by five years, and the third time, it will increase your lifespan by two and a half years...

As a result, Qiu Yulong's number of elixirs increased, and his life span was almost over.

Fortunately, the mysterious strong man was accidentally killed by his enemy, and Qiu Yulong escaped. Otherwise, he would have died of old age in the place of imprisonment and no one would care about him.

After escaping, although Qiu Yulong's time was approaching, he still did not regret refining the elixir of life, because he realized his dream and became the world's number one alchemist.

To him, this title is more important than life.

Finally, before his death, he set up the Jade Dragon Secret Realm and then passed away.

As for why he set up the Jade Dragon Secret Realm?

One was to ensure that after his death, people in the world would always remember him as the best in the world, and the other was to find a place to store the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

The Demon Scroll is extremely evil and cannot be destroyed by external forces. Its purpose is to help the Demon act as a middleman and earn the difference in lifespan.

Therefore, this thing will be attracted by the breath of living beings. Even if you throw it to the ends of the earth or even seal it up, as time goes by, it will always be guided by mysterious forces to places where there are many living beings, waiting to be discovered by the right person.

Qiu Yulong didn't want others to discover the secret of the Heavenly Demon Scroll and know that the elixir of immortality was fake, thus ruining his reputation as the world's number one alchemist, so he placed it in the Yulong Secret Realm.

It is opened once every five years, and the entry requirements are very low, so many people can enter. This has two advantages. One is to promote its reputation and expand its influence, and the other is to allow the Heavenly Demon Scroll to come into contact with a large amount of living creatures every five years so that it will not run around.

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh that Qiu Yulong was very calculating. He really put a lot of thought into the title of the world's number one alchemist.

A secret realm that cannot be cracked was specially set up, and a stone tablet that even gods cannot understand was left behind.

It not only promotes reputation, but also eliminates the risk of being discovered.

It turns out that the Yulong Secret Realm was not established from the beginning to select disciples...

"Sir, my master is such a contradictory person. He values ​​fame very much. It can be said that he lives his life to become the best in the world. But at the same time, he is not a wicked person who will do anything to achieve his goals. There is no greater contradiction in human nature than this.

It is precisely because his kindness and malice are not pure enough that he will suffer throughout his life."

The Guardian Spirit sighed.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Gu Qingfeng smiled coldly: "Haha, maybe not. In my opinion, there should be another version of this story that is closer to reality."
