Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Alchemical Spirit Immortal Body! Presenting the Five Elements Fruit!

Upon hearing these words, a ripple flickered in Lin Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes.

Her innocent body had been taken by Su Luo, but she did not plan to compete with Qing Zhi for a man. Instead, she decided to stay in the Medicine God Temple, and this answer served as a small consolation for her.

"Tomorrow, I will formally become a disciple. After the ceremony, I will, in the capacity of the Saintess of the Medicine God Temple, reach out to the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce. If all goes well, Qing Zhi will be sent to the Medicine God Temple. At that time, you should take Qing Zhi and leave," she said, taking a deep breath to suppress the unusual feeling in her heart.

"I will leave with Aunt Shen, but even if you stay in the Medicine God Temple, you are still my fiancée, chosen by the patriarch himself, a commitment I acknowledged in front of the members of the Lin Family, which cannot be changed!" Su Luo stated.

Lin Ruoxi’s eyes flickered, her voice, however, remained indifferent, "If thinking so makes you feel at ease, then suit yourself!"

...

While Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi were having a private conversation after separating from the others,

Inside the main hall of the Medicine God Temple,

Yan Wushuang had also invited Nangong Yu to a separate side.

"Elder Yan, what is it?" Nangong Yu knew well that if there was nothing important, Yan Wushuang would not have asked her to step aside at this time.

Yan Wushuang said in a grave tone,

"Hall Master, it’s like this... Su Luo was on the brink of death at that time. To save him, even without the Millennium Divine Medicine, we would likely need a medicine from the King of Medicine over five hundred years old."

"This is extremely precious to our Medicine God Temple. To make Ruoxi willing to join our temple, I pretended to tell her that after she joined, I would send her miraculous elixirs to save Su Luo’s life. But I knew the elixirs I sent would only extend his life for a few days at most and were not capable of saving him."

"But now, Su Luo is very much alive, which I suspect is due to the girl from the An Family. Su Luo must understand this as well. Now that he’s having a private conversation with Ruoxi, he will probably disclose this to her. I’m afraid that afterwards, Ruoxi will feel deceived and no longer wish to stay in the Medicine God Temple."

"If we lose someone with the Alchemical Spirit Bloodline, it would be a huge loss for our temple."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu’s brows furrowed slightly.

"You should not have done this. For Ruoxi, even if it requires extracting a five-hundred-year-old King of Medicine, or even the Millennium Divine Medicine, it might be conceivable," Nangong Yu said seriously.

Yan Wushuang’s eyes widened in surprise.

She hadn’t expected the Nangong Palace Master to be willing to use the Millennium Divine Medicine to save someone else for the sake of Lin Ruoxi, which was beyond her expectations.

Nangong Yu, as if aware of Yan Wushuang’s astonishment, explained, "You are mistaken about one thing, Ruoxi doesn’t just possess the Alchemical Spirit Bloodline, but has awakened the Alchemical Spirit Immortal Body, a special constitution recorded only in legends. This constitution is born for the path of alchemy. Her potential achievements in the field might reach a level beyond our imagination. Even if it means using a Millennium Divine Medicine to gain her loyalty, it would be worth it."

In the entire Medicine God Temple, there were only three Millennium Divine Medicines, which were treasures of the temple. Her willingness to use one of them for Lin Ruoxi showed the extent of her consideration for her.

"Hall Master, are you saying... Lin Ruoxi has the Alchemical Spirit Immortal Body?!" Yan Wushuang’s eyes instantly widened, shocked to the core.

She originally thought she had discovered a treasure by bringing back someone with the Alchemical Spirit Bloodline, which was shocking enough. But now, she was told that Lin Ruoxi was not only just an Alchemical Spirit Bloodline but also had the even more heaven-defying Alchemical Spirit Immortal Body?

"I was not certain before, and even took Ruoxi to verify it specially, but now I can confirm that she is the legendary Alchemical Spirit Immortal Body!" Nangong Yu nodded and said.

"Bringing Ruoxi back is a great achievement for you. Once you break through to the Great Grandmaster level, the position of the next Great Elder will be yours," Nangong Yu then made a promise.

Though there is only a single word difference between an Elder and the Great Elder, there is a not insignificant gap in status, and the rights and resources one can command are also not the same.

Yan Wushuang’s face immediately revealed a look of joy, "Thank you, Hall Master."

Then, Yan Wushuang said with some concern, "But what if Su Luo tells Ruoxi the truth...?"

Nangong Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I’ve talked with Ruoxi, and I think, even if she knows the truth, she will understand how to choose."

...

Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi did not spend too much time alone outside.

After all, it was impossible for the dignified Hall Master of Medicine God Temple and two Elders to be waiting for them in that grand hall all the time.

Upon their return.

Nangong Yu looked at Lin Ruoxi and could tell from her eyes, regardless of whether Su Luo said anything or not, Lin Ruoxi was willing to stay in the Medicine God Temple.

This involuntarily made the corners of her mouth curl up into a faint smile.

"Su Luo, this is a Five Elements Fruit that is five hundred years old; in our entire Medicine God Temple we have only this one left. Originally, it was intended to be used as a main ingredient to concoct an elixir to send to Jiangbei to save you, but it seems that your injuries have already recovered, so the Five Elements Fruit is no longer needed. However, the commitment made to Ruoxi must still be honored. It’s just that, instead of concocting it into an elixir, I’ll give it directly to you. You might find it useful in your cultivation," Nangong Yu said.

Nangong Yu took out a beautifully crafted jade box, gently pushed it with her hand, and the exquisite jade box flew towards Su Luo as if carried by someone through the air.

This surprised both Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi.

However, Su Luo soon understood the key reasoning.

Perhaps, they were worried that after her meeting with Lin Ruoxi, she would reveal that he was not saved by the Medicine God Temple, and they feared Lin Ruoxi might have some thoughts on this, so that’s why Medicine God Temple reluctantly offered up this Five Elements Fruit to him, right?

This made Su Luo hold Nangong Yu, the Hall Master of Medicine God Temple, in higher regard—she knew how to remedy the situation.

At the same time, it also proved how much Nangong Yu valued Lin Ruoxi.

Su Luo took the beautifully crafted jade box and opened it.

Instantly, a fragrance assaulted his senses, mixed with a rich Spiritual Energy.

This made Su Luo’s heart rejoice, yet on the surface, he remained calm, "Hall Master Nangong, one should not receive a reward without having done the merited work!"

Nangong Yu said, "This was promised to Ruoxi, and if you don’t accept it, then it would mean our Medicine God Temple has broken our word."

Su Luo no longer pretended to demur and immediately said, "Well then, thank you, Hall Master Nangong."

Nobody noticed that when Su Luo accepted the Five Elements Fruit, in the depths of Elder Huang Qingyu’s eyes, who sat steadfastly in the Elder’s seat within the grand hall, a glint of greed flashed by.
