Chapter 1354 The Scheme

"It seems you know something, otherwise you wouldn't speak like this!"

Lu Fan was a little surprised and looked towards Liu Ruyan, becoming more curious about this matter.

"The Temple of the Heavenly God should belong to the Heavenly God Palace. If that's the case, obtaining the Nine Dragon Grass might not be so easy!" Liu Ruyan stated frankly, "Anything with 'Heavenly God' in its name belongs to the Heavenly God Palace. The Heavenly God Palace is extremely powerful and has many factions within the entire Heavenly Dynasty!"

"So that's how it is!"

Lu Fan nodded slightly. "In other words, the Temple of the Heavenly God is a faction of the Heavenly God Palace?"

"You can understand it that way, it's a branch of the Heavenly God Palace," Liu Ruyan said, nodding. "Therefore, obtaining the Nine Dragon Grass will likely not be a trivial matter. More importantly, even the Old Divine Doctor from the Valley of Medicine Immortals dares not come to the Temple of the Heavenly God, which is enough to prove that this matter is not that simple!"

Lu Fan frowned. To obtain what he needed, he naturally wouldn't hold back, but if someone were to genuinely obstruct him, it would indeed be difficult to act.

After walking around Jiangbei City for a while, Lu Fan kept asking for directions, wanting to know the location of the Temple of the Heavenly God.

However, at this moment, on the street, several figures appeared, their gazes falling on Lu Fan and the others, seeming somewhat familiar.

"Why are you here in Jiangbei?"

Liu Shuqin walked over, accompanied by a group of guards. She hadn't seen Lu Fan since leaving the Valley of Medicine Immortals, and she hadn't expected to see him here, especially with a group of people.

"What a coincidence!" Lu Fan smiled awkwardly, not trying to avoid Liu Shuqin.

"Indeed, it is a coincidence. But this is Jiangbei. Are you here for a specific purpose?" Liu Shuqin was direct.

"Do you know where the Temple of the Heavenly God is?"

Lu Fan asked, with a hint of confusion.

"Why are you going to the Temple of the Heavenly God? That's a place for burning incense and worshipping Buddha!" Liu Shuqin said frankly, "I can take you there!"

"Then thank you!" Lu Fan did not hesitate, knowing very well that having a local guide would be much more convenient.

Liu Shuqin did not hold back and directly led Lu Fan and the others to the Temple of the Heavenly God. Inside the temple, several monks were diligently studying Buddhist scriptures, appearing like accomplished masters.

"We're here!" Liu Shuqin said, "Are you here at the Temple of the Heavenly God for something?" Su Dan Novel Network

"Naturally, we have a matter!"

Lu Fan nodded, then walked towards the Temple of the Heavenly God. His gaze fell upon the group of eminent monks. "Excuse me, is the abbot of the Temple of the Heavenly God here?"

"The abbot is engrossed in his Buddhist studies and does not see people easily!"

An old man slowly approached, wearing a kasaya, exuding an aura of a wise monk. He held prayer beads in his hand, giving off a palpable presence.

"We have come to your esteemed temple this time to borrow the Nine Dragon Grass," Lu Fan stated directly. "May I ask if you masters can accommodate us? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and this is a most virtuous deed!"

"Nine Dragon Grass?"

Master Puzhi frowned. "Little brother, are you sure you have the right place? This is the Temple of the Heavenly God, and the Nine Dragon Grass is a sacred object of our temple. How could it be easily given to you!"

"No matter what the method, I am willing to try!" Lu Fan said solemnly. "I only ask for an opportunity, as this matter is of great importance!"

"There's no need to say more. The Nine Dragon Grass is the sacred object of our Temple of the Heavenly God, and it will absolutely not be taken away by anyone!"

Master Puzhi stated directly. "Moreover, this is the Temple of the Heavenly God. Coming here and making such a request is likely extremely inappropriate!"

"This is a last resort. We can only do this to save someone," Liu Ruyan said frankly. "We hope you masters can show some leniency, as this is a place of Buddhism, and it will be a meritorious deed for the entire Buddhist faith in the future!"

"You little girl, you certainly know how to speak. It's a pity that this item is the sacred object of our Temple of the Heavenly God, and it absolutely cannot be taken away easily!"

Master Puzhi stated directly. "Do not speak any further!"

Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. Seeing the firm refusal from the Temple of the Heavenly God, he felt somewhat helpless.

In their helplessness, they left the Temple of the Heavenly God.

Seeing this, Liu Shuqin chuckled. "You truly dare to ask. This is the sacred object of the Temple of the Heavenly God. How could it possibly be taken by you so easily? Besides, what do you intend to do with it?"

"Naturally, to save someone!" Lu Fan replied directly. "It's a pity we couldn't get it. This is troublesome now!"

"Since a direct approach won't work, let's use other methods. After all, the person is alive, and we can't just let them die!" Liu Ruyan said without reservation.

"Are there other ways?"

Lu Fan smiled bitterly. "Tell me, what other better methods are there!"

"If a direct approach doesn't work, then let's steal!" Liu Ruyan shrugged. "This is also a viable method. Given the current situation, it's the only way!"

"That might not be good," the Lord of Yuncheng frowned. "If we really steal, we might offend the Temple of the Heavenly God, and it would not be worth the loss!"

"There are no better options!"

Liu Ruyan stated directly. "You must have seen it earlier. The Temple of the Heavenly God will not hand it over easily given their stance. If we don't do this, we won't succeed!"

Lu Fan hesitated at her words. He knew very well that this matter was not trivial. If they couldn't obtain the Nine Dragon Grass, it would be extremely troublesome for them.

"Since we've decided, let's act!"

Lu Fan said directly. "However, before we act, we must understand the strength of the Temple of the Heavenly God, otherwise, it might stir up endless trouble!"

"What you're saying is quite right. If we really act, it will be troublesome!"

Liu Shuqin stated directly. "You might not know, but the Temple of the Heavenly God is not an ordinary force. Offending the Temple of the Heavenly God is equivalent to offending the Heavenly God Palace. At that time, no matter who you are, it will cause unnecessary trouble!"

"According to what you're saying, we should do nothing?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, not agreeing with Liu Shuqin's words.

"The reason I'm saying all this is just to inform you. As for what you want to do, that's your business, and I don't need to interfere," Liu Shuqin shrugged. "However, if things reach this point, it's your own responsibility!"

"Thank you for your good intentions!"

Lu Fan nodded. "However, since things have come to this, we will be prepared!"

"Wang Zhu, do we really have to do this?"

With a flicker of emotion in his expression, the Lord of Yuncheng spoke, his brow furrowed.
