Gu Qingfeng's heart moved, he put down the teacup and looked towards the empty space in the hall.

The next moment, a figure in golden armor suddenly appeared in the hall as if teleporting.

It was the golden-armored general who had previously guarded the Yulong Secret Realm.

General Jinjia's face lit up with joy when he saw Gu Qingfeng.

"Gu Qingfeng! It's you. How did you get back? Where is the person who kidnapped you?"

"I was rescued by a mysterious person on the way. After he rescued me, he disappeared. Then I walked back by myself."

When General Jinjia heard the words "this king", his brows twitched.

Wow, he hasn’t even become a prince yet, but he’s already calling himself one.

"What is the identity of that mysterious person? Are there any characteristics?"

"Since he is called the mysterious man, I am sure I don't know his identity. He is wearing a black robe and I can't see his features."

When General Jinjia heard the man in black robe, his brows jumped again. His first reaction was the Pu demon who had slapped him at that time.

"Alright, these are not important. Come with me to see His Majesty. His Majesty has been furious these past few days and has issued a death order that you must be brought to him as soon as you are found."

Gu Qingfeng stood up, a little impatient: "Let's go!"

As they spoke, the two were about to set off.

At this time, General Jinjia suddenly asked, "Did you really get the elixir of immortality and the divine refining method?"

"There is no elixir of life in the inheritance, only the method of divine refining." Gu Qingfeng said carelessly.

He would never tell anyone that he had the elixir of life, otherwise how would he get the medicinal materials?

If one wants the elixir of life, the emperor must collect tons of precious medicinal materials and then "refine" them himself.

"What! There is no elixir of life? Do you understand the divine refining method?"

"Of course I understand. Okay, let's go." Gu Qingfeng urged impatiently.

"Okay." General Jinjia didn't care about Gu Qingfeng's rudeness, because he wanted to taste the elixir of immortality in the future.

So the two of them set off.

Just as Gu Qingfeng was on the road to becoming a king, the entire Great Yan Dynasty began to surge with undercurrents due to his sudden appearance.

Countless messages were transmitted secretly, and each major force had its own spies.

The successor of the elixir of life has appeared. This is such a major event that some high-ranking and powerful figures in the Great Yan Dynasty received the news immediately.

......

The prince's residence.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is already over fifty years old, was listening to his subordinates' reports with a gloomy expression.

"Your Highness, the successor of the elixir of immortality suddenly appeared. What do you think of this matter..."

The prince pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Who escorted him to the imperial capital?"

"Your Highness, it's General Qin."

The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in them: "Sixth level of Dragon Transformation, Qin Rushong!

I heard that he was guarding the Jade Dragon Secret Realm some time ago and was injured by a great dragon-transforming monster. Is this true?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Are you planning to intercept him midway? But even if Qin Rushong is injured, he is still at the sixth level of Dragon Transformation. Few people on our side can compete with him."

"Go contact the Ten Thousand Demons Nation and ask them to send someone over."

The subordinate's face suddenly changed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please think twice! Cooperating with the demons is like seeking the skin of a tiger. We must not do this! Let's find another plan and take a long-term view..."

“Shut up!” The prince suddenly shouted, his expression extremely ferocious: “Let’s take a long-term view! I really know how to take a long-term view!

I have been the crown prince for decades! Do you know how I have lived these decades? I have been walking on thin ice every day. Not only do I need to cultivate myself, but I also have to be on guard against other princes stabbing me in the back. I dare not relax for a moment, for fear of losing my position as crown prince.

I kept waiting and waiting, and finally my father's life was about to end, but at this moment, the successor to the elixir of immortality appeared!

Damn it! Damn it all!

You actually want me to take a long-term view? Do you want me to wait for decades more?

I command you to take my order and immediately contact the Ten Thousand Demons Nation and ask them to send a dragon-transforming demon to intercept the heir of the immortal pill. No matter what conditions they put forward, you must agree to them!"

When the subordinates saw the prince losing his composure like this, they knew they could not persuade him any more, otherwise they would be the ones to die.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right away. But... Your Highness, since we are going to intercept them, what should we do with the heir of the elixir of immortality after we successfully intercept them? Should we kill him or keep him alive?"

Upon hearing this, the prince couldn't help but look conflicted.

As the only person in the world who inherited the legacy of the King of Pills and the only one who can refine the elixir of immortality, it would be a pity to kill such a talent.

Even if we take a step back and say that if I become emperor in the future, I will definitely hope to live a few more years.

Instead of killing him, it would be better to imprison him and let him refine the elixir of immortality for himself.

However, it is too difficult to capture him alive from a warrior at the sixth level of Dragon Transformation, and there is a risk of being exposed. Once the news leaks out and the fact that he is in league with the demon is revealed, everything will be over.

After thinking for a moment, a fierce look flashed in the prince's eyes: "Prioritize capturing them alive. If that is impossible, kill them on the spot!"

The subordinate's face changed slightly: "Your Highness, that is the heir of the immortal elixir. If not, we should send more people and try to catch him alive. Otherwise, it would be a pity to kill him."

In fact, his subordinates also have their own little thoughts. As the prince's most trusted confidant, once the prince gets hold of the successor to the elixir of life, who knows, maybe he can get his hands on the elixir of life in the future?

The prince seemed to see through his subordinates' little thoughts and said coldly: "Haha, what a pity?"

"Let me ask you, which is more important, the throne or the elixir of immortality?"

"This... this is naturally..." The subordinate stammered and couldn't speak, but in fact, what he wanted to say was important.

The prince smiled coldly: "If I can't become the emperor, what's the point of living for a thousand years? Although life span is important, it also depends on how you live it! If beggars can live for a thousand years, then should I become a beggar just to survive?"

The subordinate was horrified: "Your Highness, this is different. You are the prince, how can you be compared with a beggar?"

"Hmph! A prince who can't become an emperor is worse than a beggar! At least he is free, and he can live in peace until his death! If I don't fight, my dear brothers will. Once I lose, what do you think they will do to me?

Just as they would treat me the same way if I lost, they would treat me the same way if I lost.

Therefore, for the sake of the throne, even the elixir of immortality must be abandoned when necessary!"

The subordinates were shocked when they heard this and remained speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he said, "I understand. I will contact the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom right away."

"Well, go ahead. Remember, don't leave any clues. When we investigate, all clues will point to the Wan Yao Kingdom. Everything is the spontaneous behavior of the Wan Yao Kingdom."
