An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Not just a magic weapon?"

Xu Fu didn't understand what Hu Fan meant.

"You already know that the four great spiritual academies suppressed the four ferocious beasts, right?" Hu Fan asked.

Xu Fu nodded. He was a little annoyed about this. He was bewitched by Taotie and actually thought that it was Qinglong that was suppressed in Qinglong Shanglingyuan!

"Have you ever wondered why they are listed as the 'Four Great Ferocious Beasts'?"

"Isn't it... because they are the strongest?"

Judging from Hu Fan's tone, Xu Fu felt that the answer should not be so simple.

Hu Fan shook his head, took another sip of wine, and continued, "These 'four great beasts' were born from the evil spirits of heaven and earth. Taotie was born from the greed of the world, never satisfied, and devoured everything. Hun Dun was born from the darkness of the world, confusing good and evil, and confusing heaven and earth. Tao Wu was born from the fierceness of the world, stubborn and unyielding, and violent. Qiong Qi was born from the hypocrisy of the world, bewitching people's hearts, suppressing good and promoting evil..."

"As long as the evil spirit in this world does not dissipate, these four evil beasts will be immortal..."

"If we can't kill them, we can only suppress them. That's why we have 'Four Symbols to Suppress the Four Evils' and the four great spiritual academies..."

“Although the bodies of the four evil beasts have been suppressed, the evil spirits contained in them cannot be suppressed…”

“When the four great spiritual academies were first established, many people were infected by evil spirits, became possessed, and became slaves of the four evil beasts…”

"Afterwards, auspicious signs fell from the sky, and four people with the power of the four symbols were sent to guard the four great spiritual academies. They used the power of the four symbols to dispel the evil spirits of the four evil beasts. This is how the four great spiritual academies came to be what they are today."

Hu Fan said a lot in one breath, and Xu Fu was amazed. He didn't expect that the four great spiritual academies had such a past.

"You mean, the person destined to master the power of the four symbols in Qinglong Shangling Temple is Fang Su, and then Fang Su passed this power to Senior Sister Qingguo?" Xu Fu asked in surprise, holding the beads in his hand.

"No, from this point of view, Qingguo is the destined person."

Xu Fu was very surprised by Hu Fan's words. In his impression, Qingguo was just a simple-minded little girl whose cultivation was not very high and whose vision was not very good, otherwise how could she fall in love with Cangyun, that beast in human clothing!

"When Tu Hui was seriously injured, it must be Qing Guo who passed the power of Azure Dragon to him, which saved his life. Because of this, Tu Hui's cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and in just a few years he sat on the position of 'Seven Stars of Azure Dragon'." Hu Fan speculated, stroking his sparse beard.

"That may not be the case. Could it be that the master simply wants to leave good things for his disciple?" Xu Fu felt that Hu Fan's speculation was not very rigorous, and shook his head in doubt.

"The power of Azure Dragon cannot be controlled by anyone other than a person with destiny. You should have tried this bead before. When you give it to Qingguo, you will know after she tries it. But not now."

"why?"

"Hu Wangshuo is not here."

"Do I need to inform the dean about this first?"

Xu Fu felt that he had to act urgently. Hu Fan did not seem like a pedantic person. Why did he still care about these things at this time?

"The power of the four symbols is the key to suppressing the evil spirits of fierce beasts. Those who possess the power of the four symbols must never let outsiders know about it! When the power of the Azure Dragon returns to its original owner, there will most likely be strange phenomena. If it is not sealed, it will be easily detected!"

Hu Fan spoke very seriously. Xu Fu swallowed hard after hearing this. Then he looked at the green bead again and couldn't help but become nervous.

It turned out that he wanted Dean Hu to set up a magic circle to block the strange phenomena caused by spiritual power. Hu Fan is usually careless, but I didn't expect that he is very careful when it comes to important matters.

"But if we don't return it to Senior Sister Qingguo, will we be able to suppress this evil spirit?" Xu Fu said worriedly.

"The evil spirit didn't infect us overnight. If he really couldn't leave her, he wouldn't have sent her to be the guide in the first place."

After hearing what Hu Fan said, Xu Fu suddenly realized what was going on. He put the bead in his arms with great care and showed the God-Locking Crown to Hu Fan.

"Where did you come from?"

Hu Fan was originally lazy, but when he saw the God-Locking Crown, his eyes widened immediately. He stepped forward, snatched it away, and examined it carefully.

Xu Fu then told Hu Fan in detail how Sheng Yu'e had tricked him into wearing the God-Locking Crown. However, as to why the barrier between him and the magic weapon was not broken in the end, Xu Fu said it was because he was "worried about a trap" and glossed over the matter related to the Tongbi Ape Monkey.

Ever since he helped the Tonggi Ape to "cheat" Wuzhiqi last time, this arrogant old man seemed to have become a different monkey. Several times when Xu Fu entered his mind, he saw him sitting cross-legged and practicing, like a statue.

If we want to explain the origin of this monkey, it must be related to the Seven Heart Pills. If so, I don't know how much time and effort it will take.

Xu Fu was too lazy to tell anyone. Anyway, as long as he was still alive, the monkey would not be able to escape from the cage and it would have no effect on him. It seemed that he could just pretend that he did not exist.

"This is incredible!" Hu Fan exclaimed as he fumbled with the God-Locking Crown.

"Do you recognize it?"

As soon as Xu Fu saw Hu Fan's attitude, he knew that this old man must know something about the God-Locking Crown, and he immediately became interested.

"If it's really as you said, then this should be one of the three secret treasures of Qilin Shanglingyuan - the Locking God Crown."

Hu Fan's tone was quite affirmative.

"Sure enough!"

Xu Fu sighed in his heart, it seemed that the monkey had not lied to him.

"It is said that this treasure is a gift from heaven, combining spirit and seal in one. It is said that as long as you wear this crown, you will be able to practice like a fish in water, and breaking through the realm is as easy as eating and drinking. Because of this treasure, the Kirin Upper Spiritual Academy has far more top-grade cultivators than the other four upper spiritual academies. In the 'Five Academies Martial Competition', it can always suppress the other upper spiritual academies..."

Without waiting for Xu Fu to ask, Hu Fan started talking incessantly.

"Aren't you afraid that a baby like this might be kidnapped?"

Xu Fu did not expect that this crown had such an important status. He was also curious that no one had thought of taking the crown for themselves over the years.

"No one dares."

Hu Fan sighed, his eyes no longer enthusiastic, and he said with some disinterest: "It is said that there is a mantra that can control this crown. As long as someone recites this mantra, no matter where in the world, the crown will tighten, and the person wearing it will be in excruciating pain."

"Then can't you take it off yourself?" Xu Fu asked again.

"I heard that only the dean of Qilin Shangling Academy and the teacher in charge of the students' training know a secret technique, and only these two people in the world can take it off."

After hearing Hu Fan's words, Xu Fu completely understood. It seemed that Sheng Yu'e asked him to wear it just to control him. It must be said that this woman really thought highly of him and was willing to give him such a treasure.

Now, Xu Fu has gained the advantage for nothing.

"Senior, would you like to try and see if you can refine it?"

Xu Fu put forward a bold idea.
