CHAPTER 1240: CHAPTER 1240: PILL GOD TEMPLE

After the car door opened, three middle-aged men got off first.

Although these three middle-aged men appeared to be just over forty, everyone present felt a powerful sense of oppression.

These three individuals were actually experts in the King Realm.

Moreover, their cultivation was definitely not below the Fourth Grade King Realm.

Kan Jiulian and the others instinctively exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating they did not recognize them.

As a result, they all showed shocked expressions.

After all, experts in the King Realm in Hu City were quite few.

The sudden appearance of three experts above the Fourth Grade King Realm, whom no one recognized, was akin to a bombshell exploding.

And what happened next was even more shocking.

These three King Realm experts stood respectfully in front of the car door like servants.

A moment later, a young man emerged from the car.

This young man seemed to be only in his twenties.

He had a refined appearance and an ethereal aura about him.

When the young man got out of the car, the three King Realm experts immediately followed behind him.

Watching this scene, Kan Jiulian and the others were completely dumbfounded.

King Realm experts acting as bodyguards???

What kind of force was this???

It is known that in Hu City, King Realm experts, especially those above the Fourth Grade King Realm, are major figures among various forces. Even the Family Heads of various forces must listen obediently, let alone serve as bodyguards for a young man.

This is simply impossible in Hu City.

In the whole of Hu City, the situation of King Realm experts protecting young people existed only in one case, which was Li Qinglong and Zhou Yu.

Yet, even for Zhou Yu, the Martial Pavilion Headquarters only sent Li Qinglong as the sole King Realm expert.

Who is this young man???

Just as Kan Jiulian and the others were filled with suspicion and uncertainty, the young man unexpectedly walked straight towards Zhou Yu.

Surprisingly, the young man was very amiable.

He smiled and said:

"You must be Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu was momentarily taken aback but eventually nodded.

"That’s me."

The young man chuckled softly.

"Hello, Zhou Yu, I am Liu Tu, a special envoy from the Pill God Temple!"

The mention of ’Pill God Temple’ shocked Kan Jiulian and the others, causing them to tremble all over with fear.

However, Zhou Yu had never heard of the name ’Pill God Temple,’ but he keenly noticed the change in the expressions of Kan Jiulian and the others.

A force that could cause such a reaction from them was clearly a level above the forces in Hu City.

Though he didn’t know their intention, given Liu Tu’s courtesy, Zhou Yu naturally didn’t respond coldly.

Seeing Liu Tu extend his hand, Zhou Yu also extended his hand courteously.

"Hello."

Liu Tu smiled and said:

"Zhou Yu, I’ll get straight to the point."

"Yesterday, we heard that you created a quasi-Eighth Rank Pill Medicine, the Jinyuan Activating Blood Pill, correct?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He did not expect the other party to not only know about his concoction of a quasi-Eighth Rank Pill Medicine but also its exact name.

It should be noted that after his successful alchemy, not even the people from the Dan Pavilion knew the name of the pill.

Zhou Yu immediately became vigilant.

"What?"

"Does your Pill God Temple also want to seize this pill?"

Liu Tu immediately waved his hand and chuckled:

"Although quasi-Eighth Rank Pill Medicine is precious, it’s not something rare in my Pill God Temple."

"There’s no need for us to lose face over it."

Although Liu Tu’s tone was calm, there was an innate arrogance in his words.

Zhou Yu arched his eyebrow and asked with curiosity.

"Then who are you?"

Liu Tu smiled slightly and took out a gold-plated invitation from his pocket.

"Zhou Yu, this is an invitation from my Pill God Temple. We solemnly invite you to visit."

Wow!

At that moment, the gaze of Kan Jiulian and others converged on the invitation in Liu Tu’s hand, their eyes filled with envy and desire.

Clearly, this invitation from the Pill God Temple was extremely valuable.

However, Zhou Yu did not immediately reach out to take it.

He believed that pies do not fall from the sky for no reason.

"Why are you inviting me to the Pill God Temple?"

Zhou Yu asked.

Liu Tu smiled and said:

"Every ten years, my Pill God Temple invites some exceptionally talented alchemists from the outside to our Medicine God Temple to exchange knowledge on the Alchemy Dao. During this exchange, there may also be opportunities to collaborate on creating some top-tier Pill Medicines."

"Of course, this is all voluntary."

"Additionally, if you’re interested in my Pill God Temple, you can apply to become an Elder. At that time, we will provide you with unimaginable alchemical resources."

"And also provide strong protection; at the very least, ordinary forces won’t dare to harm you."

When Liu Tu spoke, he deliberately glanced at Kan Jiulian and the others with eyes full of contempt.

Clearly, Liu Tu’s words were directed at Kan Jiulian and those individuals.

Kan Jiulian and others were burning with anger in their hearts but dared not show any of it.

The Pill God Temple belonged to the hidden world forces, and such forces, with centuries of accumulation, were far beyond comprehension.

No one knew how much energy they had accumulated over those thousand years.

Unless all of Hu City’s forces united, they really didn’t dare provoke the Pill God Temple.

Besides, leaving aside the different human intentions, even if they truly united, they might not be a match for the Pill God Temple.

"Every exchange session with the Pill God Temple lasts no more than a week, and during this time, if Mr. Zhou wishes to leave, he can do so at any time."

Liu Tu added one last line.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart was stirred.

He now clearly saw that this Pill God Temple indeed was no small force and had extremely deep resources.

If that’s truly the case, he was indeed inclined to check it out.

At this moment, Li Qinglong also came to Zhou Yu’s side and said:

"Zhou Yu, you can accept this."

"What he said is indeed true."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu hesitated no more.

He reached out and took the invitation from Liu Tu’s hands.

"Thank you, I will definitely go."

Hearing Zhou Yu’s agreement, Liu Tu showed a bright smile.

"Well then, my mission for this trip is considered complete."

Then, he suddenly turned towards Kan Jiulian and the others.

"If anything happens to the guests invited by my Pill God Temple while in Hu City, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"You’ll then find out the consequences of angering my Pill God Temple."

After speaking, Liu Tu calmly turned around, got in the car, and left with his people.
