Chapter 221: The 3rd Blueprint
"Oh, it seems like I’ve wasted my feelings. I guess I’ll be going then." Saying this, Luo Jingrong appeared to be ready to leave, but Gu Fan stopped him. Gu Fan, with a cunning smile, said, "Since Boss Luo has gained something from us, there should be something to give back. Feel free to tell me what that is. Just don’t say too much, just let me understand."
After hearing this, Luo Jingrong was speechless for a while, thinking that this young man was really dramatic.
Luo Jingrong cleared his throat, then sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, looking quite imposing, as if this place was his home field. He added, "Since you’ve asked sincerely, I can’t refuse."
Gu Fan almost rolled his eyes, thinking this person really knew how to turn the tables.
Luo Jingrong continued, "There was a race known as the Eternal Life Clan. Not because they could live forever, but because they pursued immortality generation after generation."
After hearing this, Gu Fan was puzzled, "So, was their quest successful? Did they truly attain immortality?"
Luo Jingrong sighed and shook his head, "For the pursuit of immortality, they tried all sorts of methods, sacrificing many of their people. In the end, they found the method that comes closest to eternal life. They created the first person who was immortal. At first, this was something that could have flourished the Eternal Life Clan, but this person destroyed the clan, as they didn’t want a second immortal being to exist in the world."
"Ah, I see. If I’m not mistaken, the indestructible creature I encountered earlier is the only one with immortality in this world." Gu Fan’s guess quickly got confirmed by Luo Jingrong’s nod. He then listened to Luo Jingrong continue, "The Eternal Life Clan was destroyed by the demon they created. At the last moment, the elder of the Eternal Life Clan summoned his five servants and gave each of them something, and then asked them to escape. After the destruction of the Eternal Life Clan, these five people have been hiding, nomadic, because they knew that the demon is constantly looking for them."
Gu Fan raised a question, "Could you tell me what the five people were preserving?"
Luo Jingrong pointed at the blueprints, "The five did not know what the others kept. But one thing we can be sure of currently is that two of them were guarding blueprints."
Gu Fan suddenly realized, "I see. One of these keepers was a predecessor of yours, Boss Luo."
