NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1293: Plea!
Li Qinglong said unceremoniously:
"It's very simple, on the way to the Pill God Temple, there must be an expert for protection."
"Moreover, it must be an expert from your Pill God Temple."
Liu Feng immediately said:
"No problem, I will follow closely behind Zhou Yu."
Li Qinglong shook his head.
"I'm not talking about the one you brought."
"The person protecting Zhou Yu must be a Qi Refining King Realm, and it must be at the King Realm Summit."
Qi Refining King Realm Summit?
Even Liu Feng was momentarily stunned.
One must know that a Qi Refining King Realm Summit expert is among the top-tier experts, even within a Hidden Sect.
Unless there's a significant danger to the sect, they generally do not make a move.
Seeing Liu Feng's expression turn somewhat grim, Li Qinglong continued:
"I know this request may be difficult for you."
"But you also know that the forces in Hu City are targeting Zhou Yu, and the Yin Ming Sect won't give up either."
"If it weren't for your Pill God Temple's invitation, Zhou Yu had no reason to risk going to such a place."
"So both emotionally and rationally, your Pill God Temple must provide adequate security assurance."
After hearing Li Qinglong's words, Liu Feng took a deep breath.
"Elder Li, I can't promise you this right now."
"However, I can promise you that I will go back and apply to the sect right away."
Only then did Li Qinglong's expression ease a little.
"Alright, you go apply then."
Liu Feng nodded, glanced at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu said nothing and just nodded slightly.
Then, Liu Feng turned and left.
At this point, Lin Luoluo quickly asked:
"Zhou Yu, can you explain to me in detail what you mean by things like Qi Refining and King Realm?"
Zhou Yu smiled wryly.
He rubbed his head.
"I'm a bit tired. How about this, I'll arrange for someone, and you can ask them anything you don't understand."
The curse lingering in his Sea of Consciousness indeed had a considerable impact on him.
Right now, it's almost impossible for him to concentrate, and his Divine Sense is severely affected.
He must find a way to suppress this Divine Sense Curse before going to the Pill God Temple.
Zhou Yu called Lin Yinfly to be responsible for answering Lin Luoluo's questions.
As for himself, he went back to rest.
...
On the other side.
After returning to his residence, Liu Feng immediately used the secret means of the Pill God Temple to contact the sect.
Soon, he got in touch with the Vice Hall Master in charge of this exchange meeting.
"Vice Hall Master, this is Liu Feng, there is a tricky matter at hand, please grant permission for it."
The Vice Hall Master's indifferent voice came through.
"I remember, you're in charge of Hu City, right?"
Liu Feng immediately responded.
"Yes, Vice Hall Master."
"What happened?"
Liu Feng immediately reported Zhou Yu's situation to the Vice Hall Master.
After hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on the Vice Hall Master's previously indifferent face.
"Are you saying that this Zhou Yu from the outside world has the potential to become a Heavenly Master?"
"Liu Feng, you should know how difficult it is to become a Heavenly Master."
Liu Feng quickly said:
"Vice Hall Master, I surely know."
"In the path of Alchemy, above a Grandmaster is a Divine Master, and above a Divine Master is a Heavenly Master."
"Becoming a Heavenly Master is harder than ascending to heaven. Even in our Pill God Temple, few have such potential. But Zhou Yu truly has potential."
"You must know, he is just over twenty years old, and already capable of concocting quasi-Eighth Rank Pill Medicine."
"Moreover, the feeling he gives me is even more impressive than I describe!"
Upon hearing Liu Feng's praise, the Vice Hall Master also revealed a look of surprise.
"Just over twenty years old?"
"How is that possible?"
"According to what you said, wouldn't this kid be stronger than the younger generation of our Pill God Temple?"
Liu Tu cautiously nodded.
"Though I don't want to discourage our people, it may indeed be the case."
A gleam of light flashed in the Vice Hall Master's eyes.
"What do you intend to do now?"
Liu Feng quickly said:
"Vice Hall Master, due to too many people wanting Zhou Yu's life, including those from Hidden Sect, I wish to ask if you could send a Qi Refining King Realm Summit expert to ensure Zhou Yu's safe arrival at the Pill God Temple."
Upon hearing this, the Vice Hall Master frowned.
"Qi Refining King Realm Summit?"
"Liu Feng, you should know that those who reach this level are figures at the Palace Guardian Venerable level in the Pill God Temple. Even I cannot easily mobilize them."
"You want to use a Venerable for just one kid?"
Liu Feng hastily explained:
"Vice Hall Master, I know, my request may indeed be somewhat unreasonable, but currently the situation is very complex. A top expert must provide protection. If anything goes wrong, it would be a huge loss for both the reputation and development of the Pill God Temple."
Hearing Liu Feng's heartfelt plea, the Vice Hall Master fell silent.
Liu Feng knew that the Vice Hall Master was still hesitating; he needed to try harder.
Liu Feng gritted his teeth and, steeling his courage, said:
"Vice Hall Master, I know that if I say this, it will likely displease you, but for the sake of the Pill God Temple's future, I must say it."
"I know that our Pill God Temple is facing a shortage of successors. These years, the reason we keep sending out invitations to external alchemy talents to come to the Pill God Temple is precisely for this."
"I believe as long as we ensure Zhou Yu's safe arrival at the Pill God Temple, maybe he's the one you're looking for."
Upon hearing this, sure enough, the Vice Hall Master's tone immediately turned icy.
"Who told you that?"
Liu Feng mustered up his courage and said:
"It was during a time you were drinking and chatting with my master, and I accidentally overheard."
"Vice Hall Master, I can swear upon my life that there is absolutely no exaggeration in what I said."
After hearing this, the Vice Hall Master fell into silence once again.
After a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Alright, Liu Feng, out of respect for your master, I'll trust you this once."
"I will send a Venerable for protection, but regarding the alchemical skill level and actual age of this person you mentioned, once at the Pill God Temple, we will need to test again ourselves."
"If there's any falsehood, Liu Feng, you know the consequences."
Liu Feng immediately responded with excitement:
"No problem, I will notify Zhou Yu right away."
"Thank you, Vice Hall Master!"
