"The rewards are not based on cultivation level. I only look at the results. No matter who you are, as long as you make a contribution, you will get the corresponding reward." Li Qianren said coldly.

Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Li Qianren with a new respect. Although this kid was expressionless, he still had principles and at least he was clear about rewards and punishments.

"Okay, all of you can leave. Gu Qingfeng, you stay."

I stayed?

Gu Qingfeng was stunned, not knowing what Li Qianren was up to.

Soon, everyone left, and a kind-hearted Earth-level demon slayer even dragged Fatty Wang and Xu Daizi away.

At this point, Li Qianren and Gu Qingfeng were the only ones left in the hall.

Li Qianren was silent for a moment, then he said to Gu Qingfeng: "Gu Qingfeng, do you know that after today, you will be famous throughout the Great Yan Dynasty."

Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Killing seven demon generals at the fourth level of Qi Condensation is indeed enough to cause a sensation."

"Fame often means trouble, especially when you are only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. People will envy you and be jealous of you, but they will not respect you."

Gu Qingfeng grinned: "A genius who is not envied by others is not a true genius."

Li Qianren looked at Gu Qingfeng with a little surprise, and then said: "Although you have excellent physical and spiritual talents, your Qi training talent is too poor. Do you know what this means?"

"Does it mean... the future is uncertain?"

Li Qianren nodded: "You can't become a master by refining your body. Even if you practice to the extreme, you can't compare to the Gangqi body protection of the Gangqi realm. The soul is comparable to the master, but the main purpose of the soul is not to fight. With your talent for refining qi, even if you have enough elixirs, you may not be able to break through to the true qi realm in this lifetime. Do you understand?"

"Oh? So my qualifications are so poor?" Gu Qingfeng was stunned at first, then laughed.

He knew that he had poor aptitude, but he never expected that he couldn't even reach the true Qi realm.

He did not doubt the master's vision, but he believed more in the power of the system. After reaching the inner energy realm, being attacked by monsters could increase his cultivation. Let alone the true energy realm, even the master would be easy to capture.

Li Qianren saw that Gu Qingfeng was laughing cheerfully, and there seemed to be no trace of anything strange in his smile, so he couldn't help but look at him with more respect.

This kind of mentality is very rare.

"Well, it's really bad. However, there is not only the martial arts path in this world. There are also the alchemy path, the talisman path, the formation path, etc., and these paths, without exception, require strong soul power to support. You have soul power comparable to that of a master at such a young age. You may become a genius on other paths. I asked you to stay alone just to ask you, are you willing to take these paths?"

Gu Qingfeng finally understood what he meant. He wanted me to play as a supporting role!

However, he did not rush to refuse, because he always felt that Li Qianren had something else to say and it was impossible that he simply valued talent.

"Then which path do you think I should choose, Lord Li?"

"Alchemy." Li Qianren answered without hesitation.

"Can I ask why?"

"Among these paths, only the path of alchemy is the most popular, but I asked you to choose the path of alchemy not for this reason."

"What is that?"

"A mission."

"Task?"

"Yes, a task that will make you very successful. As long as you can complete this task, even if you cannot become a Grandmaster in your lifetime, you will be able to obtain a status and wealth far beyond that of a Grandmaster!"

What the hell! What kind of mission is this?

"Please explain clearly, sir." Gu Qingfeng was a little curious.

Li Qianren did not answer immediately, but asked: "Do you know who is the number one alchemist in the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Gu Qingfeng's expression changed, and he answered without thinking: "That is naturally the Dan King Qiu Yulong."

Although Gu Qingfeng didn't know how to make pills, he had heard of this household name.

"Yes, it is Qiu Yulong, the recognized number one alchemist in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, Qiu Yulong. Do you know why he is the number one?"

"Why? Is there any need to explain this? Of course he is the best at refining pills."

Li Qianren shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, there is no first in alchemy and no second in martial arts. Martial artists can select the first in martial arts competitions, but this cannot be true for alchemy, because every alchemy master has his best elixir. For example, one is good at refining detoxification pills, and another is good at refining pills that increase power. It is difficult to judge the value of two different pills. For those who need to break the mirror, pills that increase power are the best, but for those who are poisoned, detoxification pills are the most important. So, there is no first in alchemy."

Gu Qingfeng became more curious as he listened: "Then why can Dan King Qiu Yulong be ranked first?"

"Because he made a pill that everyone needs."

"Everyone needs it? What kind of pill is that?"

"The elixir of life."

"The elixir of life!? Could it be that eating it can make one immortal?" Gu Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"It can't make you immortal. Immortality has already surpassed the scope of humans. It is the realm of gods. Although the elixir of life cannot make you immortal, it can increase your lifespan against the will of heaven and make you look younger! A person's lifespan is determined by heaven. Unless you break through the realm, you can't increase your lifespan out of thin air. But what if you reach the innate realm? It's just two hundred years of lifespan. After two hundred years, you will eventually turn into a handful of yellow earth.

But the elixir of immortality can help you change your fate. Only when you are alive do you have a chance, and maybe you can even reach the level of a Grandmaster!"

After Li Qianren finished speaking, he found that Gu Qingfeng was looking at him with a strange look and didn't say anything.

Li Qianren frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Master Li, are you going to die?"

After these words were spoken, even though Li Qianren had practiced Qi cultivation to the fullest, he almost failed.

"I can't die!" Li Qianren said unhappily.

"Then why are you talking about the immortality elixir? Could it be that the mission is to get the immortality elixir? But the elixir king Qiu Yulong has been dead for hundreds of years, where can we find it? Could it be that..."

Gu Qingfeng suddenly thought of a possibility, and said in astonishment: "Master Li, you don't have the recipe for the elixir of life, do you want me to make it? You think too highly of me, I haven't even mastered the art of alchemy..."

"Don't make random guesses, just listen to me!" Li Qianren interrupted with a cold face.

"Okay, okay, you are a high-ranking official, I'll listen to you." Gu Qingfeng said with a curled lip.

Li Qianren frowned slightly, thinking, am I too approachable? Why do I feel that this guy doesn't respect me?
