Chapter 246: Feng Lie’s Request

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu spoke, Su Jingzhen and the others’ gazes also turned to Feng Lie with curiosity.Su Jingzhen wasn’t quite clear about the value of the medicinal materials Xuening and the others had obtained.

But he knew that it probably wouldn’t be inferior to the North Sea Dragon’s blood he had obtained.

If it were just a simple reward for the top three alchemists, it shouldn’t be worth such a great price.

Having paid such a huge cost, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Feng family still had another request.

Feng Lie was taken aback for a moment, then forced a bitter smile and nodded.

“I won’t hide it from you, friends. My family indeed has another favor to ask of you.”

As soon as he said this, the four of them exchanged a glance, their expressions subtly changing.

Before they could ask, Feng Lie continued, “This matter concerns my family’s future, but it won’t have any impact on you.”

“Senior, please tell us how we can help. If it’s within our capabilities, we won’t stand idly by.”

Among the four, Ye Zhiqiu was perhaps the one with the highest status, and she immediately spoke up. Seaʀᴄh the Novelƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As for Su Jingzhen and the others, it was only natural that they would feel the same way.

After all, they had received a lot of benefits and wouldn’t want to return them.

Feng Lie nodded, “To be honest, my family has an ancestor who was poisoned by a sixth-grade demonic beast several years ago. Over the years, the poison has gradually become uncontrollable and has put him into a deep sleep.”

“A year ago, my family obtained a method to rescue him through the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s network. It requires the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill to clear the toxin from his body.”

When Feng Lie reached this point, Ye Zhiqiu’s eyebrows furrowed again.

“Senior, if it’s just a matter of using the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, we junior disciples wouldn’t be able to compare to the Chief Alchemist and my teacher, Vice President Ouyang. Why not ask them for help directly? That would be more reliable.”

Her words sparked curiosity in Su Jingzhen and the others.

Feng Lie nodded again, “Indeed, that’s true, but the ancestor’s secluded cultivation site has many restrictions. The site has a unique array that can only be entered by those under thirty years old and with a cultivation level below Golden Core. The array can detect the presence of Golden Core cultivators.”

Feng Lie didn’t wait for Su Jingzhen and the others to ask, and continued, “Moreover, on that secret recipe, it’s clearly stated that the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill capable of clearing the toxin from the ancestor’s body is not an ordinary one.”

“During the process of refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, it’s necessary to add the fresh toxin released from the ancestor’s body!”

“Therefore, to rescue the ancestor, we need a young alchemist who can refine the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill to enter the ancestor’s secluded cultivation site and refine it on the spot! This is also the fundamental purpose of our family’s Alchemist Gathering.”

Feng Lie had explained it very clearly.

Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu nodded silently.

These conditions were indeed extremely harsh.

It was difficult for someone under thirty to become a fourth-rank alchemist.

No wonder the Feng family had used this Alchemist Gathering as a lure.

Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu also immediately realized that this Alchemist Gathering was probably just a front, and the real intention was to attract these young talents from the Alchemist Association.

However, after understanding this, Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

They were actually happy to take on this challenge.

But Su Jingzhen’s heart was murmuring, ‘This is really a bit unfortunate.’

He had just used his points to open the Tanzhong Acupoint yesterday, and now he was at the Flesh Body Golden Embryo stage, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.

‘I wonder if my Flesh Body Golden Embryo cultivation can be detected by that array, since I haven’t formed a Golden Core yet.’

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, not planning to reveal his cultivation level.

If he could enter the site, that would be best. If not, there was nothing he could do.

Of course, if he could enter, it would be best for Su Jingzhen.

After all, when Feng Qingya had learned that he was poisoned by The Pink Poisonous Woman, he was quite surprised.

He could easily guess that the ancestor’s toxin was related to The Pink Poisonous Woman.

For him personally, he wanted to enter and take a look.

After Feng Lie said this, Su Jingzhen already understood why Feng Qingya would treat this Alchemist Gathering as a turning point for herself.

She wanted to turn the tables. It was not by relying on their specific rankings in the Alchemist Gathering.

But on the Feng family ancestor who was now in a deep sleep and whose life and death were unknown.

“Four young friends, I beg of you!”

As Feng Lie said this, he bowed respectfully to the four of them.

For someone of his status to make such a gesture was truly rare.

At this time, Su Jingzhen said, “Senior, as alchemists, we would naturally have the heart to take on this challenge, even without your request.”

“But as for Feng Qingya, Miss Feng’s matter…”

Since Feng Qingya had formed a bond with him, and had even reached the level of Slight Fondness, he naturally wanted to do his best to benefit her.

When Feng Lie heard Su Jingzhen’s words, he naturally understood what he meant.

“Please don’t worry, Friend Su. I’m sure you’ve seen how much importance the young disciples of our family place on this Alchemist Gathering.”

“Your achievements are also Feng Qingya’s achievements. Since you’ve obtained first place in the gathering, I will announce that Feng Qingya will regain her former status and resources within our family from today onwards.”

“No one in our family will be able to force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. This is something she should have, and there’s no need for you to mention it.”

As Feng Lie said this, he directly pointed to the sky and the earth, making a solemn oath in the highest format of the cultivation world.

For a cultivator of his level to make such a heavy oath, this matter was considered settled.

“Junior Su thanks Senior on behalf of Miss Feng!”

Su Jingzhu bowed his head in gratitude to Feng Lie.

With his own power, he could only help Feng Qingya up to this point.

Feng Lie’s gaze swept over Su Jingzhen, Ye Zhiqiu, and the others once again, and then he smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take you four to a place now. You’ll understand when you get there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers again, and Su Jingzhen and the others felt their bodies become unstable.

A powerful force then acted on them, and after experiencing another round of dizziness, they found themselves in a different space.

Here was a very ancient and grand hall.

What surprised Su Jingzhen and the others was that all the direct descendants of the Feng family were present, including Feng Qingya, who was smiling at him with a joyful expression.
