NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1299: Holy Essence Fruit!
Zhou Yu's reaction made Rong Fang frown as well.
In his view, this young man Zhou Yu was not only extremely talented at such a young age, but also had a resolute and mature disposition. This kind of person was bound to become extraordinary in the future.
Rong Fang's heart had already birthed a murderous intent, yet his expression showed no change.
"I've got no issues."
After speaking, he turned around and walked back.
Vice Hall Master Li glanced coldly at Rong Fang, then looked at the others and asked:
"Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone else have any objections?"
Since Rong Fang had already tested without finding any issues, the others naturally wouldn't dare to cross Vice Hall Master Li and all expressed no objections.
Vice Hall Master Li immediately smiled at Zhou Yu and said:
"Very well, Zhou Yu, you've passed the test, no issues."
"In the next two days, just prepare yourself well."
"The exchange meeting formally starts in two days, and by then, your alchemy skills will be tested."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.
"Alright."
Vice Hall Master Li looked at Liu Feng.
"Liu Feng, during Zhou Yu's stay in the Medicine God Temple, you will be responsible for hosting him."
Liu Feng quickly stood at attention and said:
"Yes, Vice Hall Master Li."
"Alright, Zhou Yu, you go rest first..."
Vice Hall Master Li said with a smile to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu quickly responded,
"Vice Hall Master Li, actually, the reason I came to the Pill God Temple is also for another matter."
"I have contracted a Divine Sense Curse and need a Spiritual Medicine to eradicate it and nurture the Primordial Spirit. I wonder if the Medicine God Temple has such a medicine?"
On hearing this, Vice Hall Master Li froze.
"Divine Sense Curse?"
"Isn't this a technique of the Yin Ming Sect..."
He suddenly recalled that Liu Tu indeed told him Zhou Yu had offended the Yin Ming Sect.
Thinking of this, Vice Hall Master Li chuckled.
"Such spiritual medicines have already become extinct in the outside world, but in the Medicine God Temple, they are not considered rare. Fortunately, the Pill God Temple has a Holy Essence Fruit."
"I can have someone send you a Holy Essence Fruit, which will be enough to remove the Divine Sense Curse."
Upon hearing this, joy appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes.
"That's wonderful."
"If there's a Holy Essence Fruit, that will be enough."
"I won't even need to refine medicine."
The Holy Essence Fruit is almost the best Spiritual Medicine for nurturing the Primordial Spirit.
However, the smile on Zhou Yu's face had not yet faded when Rong Fang interrupted,
"Vice Hall Master Li is quite generous."
"Though the Holy Essence Fruit may not be top-tier in the Pill God Temple, it's not a common commodity either. Even members of our hall need to make significant contributions to use it, yet you, Vice Hall Master Li, would give it to an outsider with just one word."
"If word of this gets out, who knows what others in the Pill God Temple will think."
With these words, the smile instantly vanished from Vice Hall Master Li's face.
An icy glint flashed in his eyes; this Rong Fang was truly annoying, always opposing him.
At this moment, Zhou Yu spoke:
"If something has value, I can buy it."
"Buy?"
Rong Fang sneered.
"What will you use to buy it?"
"Money?"
"Do you think the paper money from the outside world is of any use to us?"
In the face of Rong Fang's ridicule, Zhou Yu calmly said,
"Elder Rong Fang, did I mention paper money?"
"Why are you in such a rush?"
"You..."
Rong Fang didn't expect Zhou Yu would dare confront him directly, and instantly, a terrifying murderous intent burst from him, locking onto Zhou Yu.
However, at this moment, Vice Hall Master Li stepped forward, equally releasing a powerful aura that shattered Rong Fang's murderous intent.
He coldly stared at Rong Fang and said,
"Zhou Yu may not have contributions, but don't I have contributions?"
"I can exchange my contributions for a Holy Essence Fruit, is Elder Rong Fang going to interfere?"
Hearing this, Rong Fang snorted coldly and withdrew his murderous intent.
"Since Vice Hall Master Li intends to offer it himself, I naturally have no objections."
Vice Hall Master Li gave a cold snort, then looked at Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, you go and rest first."
"I'll have someone deliver the Holy Essence Fruit to your room shortly."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu showed gratitude, slightly bowing, and said,
"Thank you, Vice Hall Master Li."
Then he and Liu Tu left together.
Once they exited the side hall, Liu Feng, with a somewhat displeased look, said,
"Damn it, I didn't expect Rong Fang to target you right from the beginning."
"Brother Zhou, you must be careful afterward. Rong Fang's influence runs deep in this area; except for the Hall Master and the Ancestor, he fears no one."
"Who is the Ancestor?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
"The Ancestor is akin to the head of the Elder Council, and all elders are under the Ancestor's control."
"However, Rong Fang is the Ancestor's subordinate, and the Ancestor may sometimes side with Rong Fang, which is why Rong Fang is so arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.
"I understand."
Soon, Liu Feng brought Zhou Yu to his lodging.
Not long after settling in, Vice Hall Master Li's subordinate arrived with a Jade Box.
After Zhou Yu thanked them, he accepted the Jade Box and opened it, finding two bright golden fruits inside.
They were indeed Holy Essence Fruits.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu felt a surge of gratitude in his heart.
Clearly, Vice Hall Master Li feared one Holy Essence Fruit might be insufficient, so he specially sent an additional one.
One must know, every Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item, aside from its unique use, contains the essence of spiritual power.
Therefore, besides repairing Divine Sense, the Holy Essence Fruit might also help him advance his Qi Refining realm.
Vice Hall Master Li had likely noticed that he was at the Qi Refining Saint Realm peak and deliberately aided him.
Zhou Yu quietly remembered this kindness, then he didn't stall, sitting cross-legged right away to consume the Holy Essence Fruit...
