Chapter 1237: Nan Jingtian's Request for Help

Not long after, Wang Jianqiang and Nangong Yu arrived in a grand hall.

When the two entered the hall, Nan Jingtian was already waiting inside.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang and Nangong Yu walk in, he immediately stood up from his seat.

He greeted them with a face full of smiles.

"Little Friend Wang, long time no see. Your coming to the Nan Family truly makes my Nan Family shine with brilliance."

Nan Jingtian grabbed Wang Jianqiang's palm in one motion, full of enthusiasm.

Wang Jianqiang was startled, "Have I met the Senior before?"

Nan Jingtian smiled, "Little Friend truly has a noble person's forgetfulness; I also participated in the previous battle against the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators."

"I witnessed the entire negotiation between you, Little Friend, and a Great Vehicle from Outside the Realm. Such courage is truly admirable; heroes emerge from the youth indeed."

Wang Jianqiang truly had not the slightest impression of Nan Jingtian.

He did know all the Great Vehicle Stage cultivators who participated in the great war at that time.

As for Void Refinement Stage cultivators...

Not to mention that there were over a hundred of them.

With this level of combat power, in the battlefield at that time, there was not much difference between them and small fries; how would he have the energy to remember them one by one?

Of course, although that was the situation.

One still had to pay attention to social graces. After hearing Nan Jingtian's words, a flash of realization crossed his face, and he smiled, "So that is how it is. If Senior puts it that way, this junior does have some impression."

As expected.

As the dignified head of the Nan Family, a Void Refinement Late Stage cultivator with extraordinary bearing and strength, how could Wang Jianqiang possibly fail to notice him?

Nan Jingtian felt much more comfortable in his heart.

The smile on his face became even more enthusiastic, "Come, come, come, Little Friend, please sit."

While speaking, Nan Jingtian guided Wang Jianqiang to a seat to sit down.

His gaze shifted, landing on Nangong Yu, and he was just about to speak.

He suddenly sensed the change in Nangong Yu's cultivation.

He was stunned.

"Yu'er, your cultivation..."

"Father, my cultivation has already reached Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection, and my Intent Power has also been cultivated to the extreme," Nangong Yu said calmly.

Nan Jingtian kept his mouth agape, unable to react for a good while.

Yu'er was clearly only at the Transformation Stage previously.

The secret technique she practiced was also merely a method of utilizing Bloodline Power, with no effect on improving her cultivation at all.

How did her cultivation suddenly skyrocket?

"It was Daoist Friend Wang who helped me improve it."

Just at this moment, Nangong Yu's voice came again.

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, Nan Jingtian could not help but look at Wang Jianqiang in surprise.

Although Wang Jianqiang was an Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

But while an Eighth-Rank Alchemist is strong, they are not an immortal or a god.

To let a Transformation Stage cultivator reach Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection in less than a month, and have their Intent Power climb directly to the limit...

This is not something an Eighth-Rank Alchemist can do, is it?

"Senior, this junior previously obtained some fortuitous encounters."

Sensing Nan Jingtian's surprise, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Nan Jingtian's expression stirred, and he suddenly thought of the rumors from back then about Wang Jianqiang helping many Void Refinement Perfection Stage cultivators in the Immortal Abandoned Land break through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

It was rumored that Wang Jianqiang had once encountered a great fortuitous encounter and obtained a large quantity of Plastic Fetus Pills.

That Plastic Fetus Pill was precisely the Treasure Pill that helped Void Refinement Perfection Stage cultivators break through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

Could it be...

That the treasure which helped Nangong Yu break through was obtained together with the Plastic Fetus Pills?

Thinking of this.

The shock in his heart gradually subsided.

Following that, he felt a bit of self-reproach in his heart.

Ever since Nangong Yu came out of seclusion, Wang Jianqiang had been staying in Nangong Yu's residence.

He had always believed that Wang Jianqiang was doing some unspeakable things.

Now it seemed.

He was afraid he had misunderstood the other party.

The other party was simply and purely improving Nangong Yu's cultivation.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Wang Jianqiang immediately became even more affectionate, "Little Friend is generous; such a precious treasure, you actually gave it to Yu'er."

Wang Jianqiang straightened his expression, "Senior, that is where you are wrong; it is precisely because the treasure is precious that I would bestow it upon Yu'er."

"I treat Yu'er with sincerity; if I have a share, naturally she has half a share."

As Wang Jianqiang spoke, his expression was sincere.

As the head of a family, Nan Jingtian had excellent judgment and could see at a glance that Wang Jianqiang was indeed revealing his true feelings, without the slightest bit of falsehood mixed in.

He could not help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.

"Little Friend is worthy of being the hot-topic prodigy in the Immortal Abandoned Land today; not only your ability, but this character is also beyond reproach."

Wang Jianqiang smiled modestly, "Senior, you overpraise me; I, Wang, have always been like this, I am used to it."

Nan Jingtian sighed in admiration repeatedly and complimented Wang Jianqiang a few more times.

He looked at Nangong Yu, "Yu'er, go and attend to your business; I have some heart-to-heart words to share with young friend Wang."

Nangong Yu was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and turned to leave.

After Nangong Yu left, Nan Jingtian waved his palm and tightly closed the hall doors.

Returning to his seat, he looked at Wang Jianqiang and said with a chuckle, "I hear you have been at the Nan Family for some time now? I wonder if there has been any lack of hospitality from our Nan Family? If there is anything that has left you dissatisfied, young friend, please feel free to speak up."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Senior is too polite; the Nan Family's hospitality is warm and comfortable, making me feel a warmth like home. It is very good."

"That is good then."

Nan Jingtian nodded, his expression flickering as he fell into silence.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, "Senior mentioned earlier that you had words for me; I wonder if you have some instructions, Senior?"

"Yu'er and I are close friends who can treat each other with sincerity; we are all family. If there is anything you need help with, Senior, just say it."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the hesitation on Nan Jingtian's face dissipated, and he began to laugh, "Young friend is truly magnanimous."

"Since that is the case, I will speak plainly."

"Ahem, I... have always had some unspeakable hidden trouble..."

"You know, you are an Alchemist; do you have any special medicine for this?"

Wang Jianqiang was puzzled, "Senior, why am I not quite understanding? What kind of unspeakable hidden trouble?"

"You need to be clearer with me, otherwise I cannot prescribe the right medicine for the condition."

Upon hearing this, a flash of embarrassment crossed Nan Jingtian's face, "This... why don't you understand? It is just... you know, Yu'er's mother is not happy... that thing... you understand now, right?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head blankly.

Nan Jingtian's expression froze; he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth hard.

"It is just..."

"I am not quite capable."
