Strongest Medical Saint

In fact, Zhou Jingguang had his own plans in mind.

Among the five major families in Flame Fallen City, their Zhou Family was the weakest in power, simply because the Supreme Elder of the Zhou Family had not appeared since going into closed-door cultivation hundreds of years ago, and many outside speculated that the Supreme Elder of the Zhou Family had already perished.

If that were true, then the Zhou Family would inevitably be devoured by the other families.

Even now, Zhou Jingguang was unclear about the specific situation of the Supreme Elder; he only knew that the Supreme Elder was still alive.

Having not appeared for so many hundreds of years, he surmised that the situation of the Supreme Elder was probably not good.

The Zhou Family was in urgent need of finding a temporary support. When he learned that Liu Qicang had directly confronted Lin Wanhao for the sake of a boy from the Lower Realm, an idea had sprung to mind, and when Liu Qicang came to him for a spot, that idea became even firmer.

Although Liu Qicang was just the Great Elder within the Flame Fallen City Pharmacist Hall, his alchemist grade was not inferior to Hall Master Lin Wanhao.

Of course, that alone was not enough to move him. What mattered most was Liu Qicang's connections within the General Hall.

He had heard that Qiao Dongce and Cheng Mingsong, who had originally come to the Middle Realm with Liu Qicang, had a life-and-death relationship with him.

A few days earlier, he had received news that Qiao Dongce, who was in the General Hall, had advanced to a Sixth Grade Alchemist. After all, the resources in the General Hall were far superior to those in the sub-hall, and Cheng Mingsong was now a Fifth Grade Alchemist as well.

Zhou Jingguang guessed that Liu Qicang knew Shen Feng from the Lower Realm, so Qiao Dongce and Cheng Mingsong must also know Shen Feng.

A Sixth Grade Alchemist and two Fifth Grade Alchemists, such existences were esteemed and superior in front of the Zhou Family of Flame Fallen City.

After all, every alchemist had a wide network. They were often asked by many powerhouses to refine Pills.

And the most important point was that behind Liu Qicang, Qiao Dongce, and Cheng Mingsong, there was a Vice Hall Master of the General Hall as their support. He could imagine how likely it was that Liu Qicang, Qiao Dongce, and Cheng Mingsong would rise within the Pharmacist Hall in the future.

That being the case,

He must seize this opportunity well. Liu Qicang didn't care much about Shen Feng, the boy from the Lower Realm, right? Then he would grit his teeth and betroth his beloved eldest daughter to Shen Feng, bringing him even closer to Liu Qicang!

Moreover,

Liu Qicang once saved his life. By repaying Liu Qicang's favor and promising his eldest daughter to Shen Feng, this might also become a wonderful story.

As for offending Lin Wanhao by doing so, he of course weighed the pros and cons. He didn't know about Lin Wanhao's son being accepted as a disciple by Vice Palace Master Qian of the General Hall, so in the end, he chose to side with Liu Qicang.

When Liu Qicang heard Zhou Jingguang's words, he too was slightly stunned, completely unexpected such a turn of events.

He certainly guessed Zhou Jingguang's intentions and explained them to Shen Feng through a sound transmission.

Shen Feng had no interest in this matter, but just as he was about to refuse,

The door of the upper-grade private room was pushed open again, and in walked a man and two women.

The man, with a noble mien, dressed in a white robe, had an aura at the level of the late True Immortal Stage. He was Zhou Ruixuan, the strongest among all the male disciples of the Zhou Family.

Among the two women, one was a serene and elegantly beautiful woman with a hint of a cold temperament; she was Zhou Jingguang's eldest daughter, Zhou Xinyao, currently at the peak of the True Immortal Stage, and absolutely considered a favored daughter of heaven in Flame Fallen City.

As for the last one, who bore some resemblance to Zhou Xinyao but carried a youthful air, she was Zhou Xinyao's younger sister, Zhou Xinyu, with a cultivation at the peak of the Condensing Immortal Stage.

This time, when the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opened, Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan would both enter, but only Zhou Xinyu would not go in.

Generally speaking,

the disciples of the five great families who enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm need to have at least reached the Condensing Immortal Stage in cultivation. If their cultivation is too low, going in would be akin to seeking death.

However, in the past hundred years, with each opening of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, the number of deaths began to increase, and there were also assassinations among the five great families.

As a result, the five great families raised their standards, requiring that family disciples reach the True Immortal Stage to qualify for entry into the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Liu Qicang was naturally aware of the dangers within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, but he knew Shen Feng was the Carefree Immortal Emperor. Moreover, with the people of the Zhou Family backing him up, there shouldn't be any accidents.

The path of cultivation isn't it about defying the heavens and changing fate? With every step forward, one encounters great dangers.

Zhou Xinyao, Zhou Xinyu, and Zhou Ruixuan had long known about Zhou Jingguang's arrangements. Their gazes all converged on Shen Feng, and after sensing that he truly only had the aura of the Middle Stage of Condensing Immortal, none of them spoke.

However, Zhou Jingguang, after introducing Shen Feng to Zhou Xinyao and the others in turn, glared at Zhou Xinyu and barked, "Xinyu, what are you doing here? Hurry home!"

Then, he turned to Shen Feng and Liu Qicang, saying, "Elder Liu, young brother, today Xinyao and the others were busy preparing for the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, which is why they were a bit late."

"Young brother, now that you've met Xinyao,"

"Xinyao has agreed to this matter, may I know what your thoughts are?"

Hearing her father speak, Zhou Xinyao frowned slightly, but she knew she must do something for her family! She definitely couldn't let the Zhou Family be swallowed up by the other four great families.

On the other hand, Zhou Xinyu's face was full of disgust. She had worshipped her older sister since she was young, and when she learned that her father intended to betrothe Zhou Xinyao to a boy from the Lower Realm, she had always been opposed to it, although her opposition had no effect.

In Zhou Xinyu's opinion, Shen Feng, this boy from the Lower Realm, would definitely be eager to agree, since their Zhou Family was also a top power in Flame Fallen City.

Liu Qicang completely left the decision to Shen Feng; he did not dare make decisions for the Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Shen Feng smiled lightly at Zhou Jingguang. After all, the other party did not have any malicious intentions, and he said, "Master Zhou, please don't bring up this matter again in the future."

"Such things require mutual consent; coercion won't lead to any good outcomes."

"I am just a person from the Lower Realm, I think your daughter would not fancy someone like me."

Since others thought he was from the Lower Realm, he simply went along with it.

Apart from Liu Qicang, no one expected Shen Feng to refuse so straightforwardly. Even though his words downplayed himself and praised Zhou Xinyao, a refusal was still a refusal!

Although Zhou Xinyao had no interest in Shen Feng and had no wish to marry such a person, being publicly refused still irritated her somewhat, probably because of her pride.

But Shen Feng had already spoken in the most amicable way possible. Was he supposed to agree instead? If he had agreed, perhaps Zhou Xinyao and the others would have despised him even more, believing that Shen Feng was indeed such a person!

Zhou Xinyu was the first to lose her composure. She directly transmitted her voice to Shen Feng, "What right do you have to refuse my sister?"

"Although what you said is correct, my sister indeed does not fancy you, the final decision should be for my sister to refuse you."

"You're just a person from the Lower Realm, aren't you? Isn't it just because of your connection with Liu Qicang!"
