"Since we came to find the Eastern Alchemy Saint, we naturally have some confidence that we can help the Eastern Alchemy Saint recover from his injuries. However, before that, we need the Eastern Alchemy Saint to give us an honest assessment of just how far he has reached at the Heavenly Immortal level. It's not that we would look down on the Eastern Alchemy Saint for having insufficient cultivation. Although Lian Yue and I are both weaker than the Eastern Alchemy Saint, we have other means of preserving our lives. If your cultivation is insufficient and we forcefully invite you along, not only might we fail to obtain the treasure, we could even end up harming you."
Lou Yikong spoke. Back then, although Lu Xiaotian had caused the Immortal Army of the Heavenly Punishment Palace heavy losses inside Luoyang Prison, and there had even been rumors that Golden Immortal-level experts had fallen there, those who had not witnessed it with their own eyes did not believe that Lu Xiaotian had truly achieved such astonishing combat strength through his own ability alone. Before inviting Lu Xiaotian along, Lou Yikong and Fu Lianyue naturally had to sound him out.
After all, helping Lu Xiaotian recover from his injuries within the stipulated time would also require paying a considerable price. Even with the resources of Lou Yikong and Fu Lianyue, they could not squander the opportunities in their hands recklessly. Although both of them were the descendants of Immortal Lords, neither was an Immortal Lord's only bloodline.
Moreover, in the vast Jade Profound Heavenly Court, among the descendants and disciples under other Golden Immortal-level experts, there were no shortage of individuals more powerful and outstanding than them. Treasures capable of helping Lu Xiaotian recover more quickly were exceptionally precious even to Lou Yikong
