“So, can you let him go?” the fox spirit pleaded again.
“I’m afraid not.”
“Why!?” The fox spirit looked incredulous. “There’s no deep hatred between you. He never intended to harm you, and if you let him go, you’ll receive the treasure of the fox clan and the secret to becoming a god. Isn’t that enough?”
“Because I hate being lied to the most! Everyone who has ever lied to me is dead. He’s no exception.”
Wait a minute...
There’s one person who lied to me the most and isn’t dead yet... Pu Yao!
Oh, right, Pu Yao isn’t human, so that doesn’t count.
“Just because he lied, he has to die?”
“Exactly!”
The fox spirit’s face turned ashen, but she still refused to give up. “If you let him go, I’ll do anything you ask. Don’t you like visiting the Heavenly Fragrance Tower for women? I’m still a virgin. I’m willing to serve you as a slave, wholeheartedly!”
“Cough... cough...” Gu Qingfeng suddenly coughed twice and spoke righteously, “Don’t talk nonsense. I go to the Heavenly Fragrance Tower to temper my Dao heart. How else do you think I achieved this level of strength?
I, Gu Qingfeng, am not someone who lusts after beauty!
However, I’m not heartless either. Seeing how sincere you are...”
“Su Mei! You can’t agree to this!” Qiu Qianren suddenly roared.
“You’re being foolish! Today, I kidnapped Gu Qingfeng in front of everyone. The emperor will surely be furious. Do you think the Great Yan Dynasty won’t uncover the truth of this matter?
In a few days, I’ll be hunted across the world. Even if I don’t die today, I won’t live much longer. And without becoming a Peerless King, I have no hope of revenge. What’s the point of living!”
“Hehe...” Qiu Qianren laughed bitterly. “This must be fate. At least the legacy has emerged, and the world will know the Ageless Pill is real. It’s a way to clear my ancestor’s name.”
“No! I don’t want you to die!” The fox spirit, Su Mei, said with tears streaming down her face.
“Uh... let me interject for a moment.” Gu Qingfeng suddenly interrupted their emotional exchange and said to Qiu Qianren, “Actually, you don’t need to clear your ancestor’s name because the Ageless Pill never existed. It’s all a lie.”
Qiu Qianren was stunned, then furious. “Gu Qingfeng! You’ve inherited my ancestor’s legacy, yet you slander him! You’re a despicable villain!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, another brainwashed fanatic. Let me enlighten you before you die.” Gu Qingfeng said as he took out the Heavenly Demon Scroll.
“Here, this is the so-called Divine Refining Method. Take a look and you’ll understand.”
Swish!
Gu Qingfeng openly unrolled the scroll for the two of them to see.
He wasn’t worried about them learning the life-sacrificing technique because without the Heavenly Demon Scroll as a medium, it was impossible to connect with the Life Demon.
Both of them were captivated by the legendary Divine Refining Method and stared intently.
A moment later.
Qiu Qianren’s face turned deathly pale, as if all the blood had been drained from his body. Not only that, it seemed as if his bones had been removed too.
He could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed to his knees.
His expression was blank, and he kept muttering, “No... this can’t be! How could this be! My ancestor was the greatest alchemist in the world! The Qiu Family is the greatest alchemical family in the world! It’s all a lie! Hahaha...”
Qiu Qianren began to laugh maniacally, but as he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
“So everything I’ve sought in my life... was all a lie! Why is this happening! Ahhh!!!” Qiu Qianren began to punch the ground frantically, one punch after another... Even as his skin was torn by the sharp stones, even as blood flowed and his white knuckles were exposed, he didn’t stop.
The ground was pounded into a small pit, mixed with blood and tears.
At that moment, he seemed to have gone mad, his face a mix of crying and laughing, repeating over and over, “It’s all a lie! It’s all a lie! Ugh...”
Qiu Qianren, overwhelmed by rage and despair, began to vomit blood.
Su Mei looked at him with heartache, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word.
The feeling of having one’s beliefs shattered was worse than death.
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, thinking, Is it really that serious? It’s just a false reputation, and not even your own. Why take it so hard?
Su Mei, who seemed to sense Gu Qingfeng’s confusion, sobbed softly and explained, “It’s not just the reputation he’s upset about. It’s also the lives of his entire family.
After Qiu Yulong died, countless people tried to enter the Jade Dragon Secret Realm, but all failed. Over time, some with ulterior motives turned their attention to the Qiu Family.
They believed the Qiu Family must have the Ageless Pill and the complete Divine Refining Method, and that the Jade Dragon Secret Realm was just a decoy.
After all, what ancestor wouldn’t leave their legacy to their descendants?
From that point on, the once prosperous Qiu Family was constantly hunted. Former allies who had sought the Ageless Pill turned into enemies. The more they had once desired to befriend the Qiu Family, the more they now sought to destroy it.
Fortunately, the Qiu Family still had some strength. Though many died, they managed to survive by going into hiding to escape their enemies.
But no matter how vast the world is, it’s no match for human greed. After years of hiding, the Qiu Family was eventually discovered.
And the ones who found them were the Spirit Medicine Mountain!”
“Spirit Medicine Mountain!?” Gu Qingfeng was slightly surprised. “Didn’t Gu Chen, the Alchemy King of Spirit Medicine Mountain, say the Divine Refining Method was fake? Why is he involved too?”
Mentioning Spirit Medicine Mountain, a hint of hatred flashed in Su Mei’s eyes. “Gu Chen is no saint either. While he publicly claimed the Divine Refining Method was fake, he was the most active in secretly searching for the Qiu Family!
He said the Divine Refining Method was fake to elevate his own status by discrediting Qiu Yulong, and to deceive others into giving up their search for the Qiu Family, so he could claim it all for himself.
And that’s exactly what happened. Spirit Medicine Mountain found the Qiu Family because many believed Gu Chen’s words as the Alchemy King and gave up their search. Only Spirit Medicine Mountain persisted, searching for decades!”
“Damn, this Gu Chen is something else!” Gu Qingfeng exclaimed. “What happened next?”
“After that, the entire Qiu Family was secretly captured and subjected to inhumane torture, forced to reveal the secrets of the Ageless Pill and the Divine Refining Method. Only he managed to escape.”

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
