At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

"Haha, you will stay by my side in the future, and I will try my best to help you improve your realm!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The Sky-Swallowing Python agreed, and then it looked at the Nine Mysterious Empress and said, "Are you the master's woman?"

"No, I am not his woman yet!"

The Nine Mysterious Empress rolled her eyes. Although she was gentle, she would not admit her relationship with Lin Chen, otherwise, it would be tacit consent.

"Oh."

Hearing this, the Sky-Swallowing Python did not ask any more questions. Anyway, it felt that the relationship between the master and this woman should be quite good.

Lin Chen looked at the Nine Mysterious Empress and smiled, "Let's go. Since you have found this place, there should be some opportunity. Do you want to take me to find it?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress nodded and said, "Let's go to the northeast."

Lin Chen nodded, and went to the northeast with her.

Xiao Wu still followed him.

"Master, how did you escape from the old man's domain just now?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.

She remembered that before, when the old man used his domain, Lin Chen was directly sucked into it, and then disappeared, and even the Sky-Swallowing Python could not struggle out.

"I relied on the unique skills in the Eight Trigrams Samsara Palm to tear a hole in his domain, drilled in, and then ran out."

Lin Chen did not elaborate. He could not say that I practiced the Holy Demon Sky-Swallowing Flame, which can burn everything, so the old man's domain has no binding effect on him.

"Ah! You can actually tear open the old man's domain?" Xiao Wu was surprised.

"Not only that, I also killed his mount and took his treasure." Lin Chen said.

Xiao Wu was stunned, and then her eyes showed admiration, "Wow! Master, you are so powerful!"

"Ahem..."

The Nine Mysterious Queen coughed a few times, a little embarrassed, and her face flushed.

"Xiao Wu, don't call me master, just call me master." Lin Chen changed the subject and said.

"Okay! Then what should I call you, Master? Can you call me Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, and then asked with some doubts.

Lin Chen shook his head: "Your current strength is too low. If you call me Master, others will probably say that I am bullying a child. I don't want to bear this accusation."

"Hehe, then I will call you brother." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

They walked all the way to the northeast. Along the way, they encountered many robbers, bandits, and even some fierce beasts with strength reaching the Tongtian realm. They were all killed by Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Queen.

These fierce beasts are getting stronger and stronger, and Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Queen are becoming more and more vigilant.

"Master, look, is there a palace over there!"

One day, a sudden noise sounded, and Xiao Wu pulled Lin Chen's sleeve and pointed to the distance.

The Nine Mysterious Queen followed her gaze and her face changed immediately.

There was a towering palace in front of her. The palace occupied half of the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, which looked very mysterious, and there was a palpitating breath.

This palace is where the Nine Mysterious Gate is.

Lin Chen also saw the palace and raised his eyebrows. "There should be a peak transcendental being in this palace!"

The Jiuxuan Empress looked a little solemn and nodded, "Yes, there is a terrifying peak transcendental being there!"

This palace is not close to the Jiuxuan Gate where she is, but she also knows the location of the Jiuxuan Gate, and obviously knows something about the palace.

"What are you going to do? Are you going back to the Jiuxuan Gate?"

Lin Chen asked. He knew that the parents of the Jiuxuan Empress were both elders of the Jiuxuan Gate, and the purpose of the Jiuxuan Gate was to maintain peace in the Xuanyuan Continent, so she had a strong sense of belonging to the Jiuxuan Gate.

"I can't go back." The Nine Mysterious Empress shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The Nine Mysterious Sect has completely fallen. My father died at the hands of that old monster, and my mother was captured by him and taken back to the Nine Mysterious Sect. And I almost died at the hands of that man."

"Are you talking about the leader of the Cang Yan Holy Sect, Huo Lie?"

Lin Chen frowned, "What realm is Huo Lie in?"

"I don't know, but my father told me that he was defeated by Huo Lie before."

The Nine Mysterious Empress thought for a while and continued, "What we have to do now is not to save people, but to leave here quickly, so as not to be caught up by Huo Lie!"

Lin Chen nodded, and took the two people into a stream of light, disappeared on the spot, and flew westward at a high speed.

Three days later.

Lin Chen and the other two stopped and stood in front of a city. At this moment, they had arrived at Tianyuanzhou in the west.

Tianyuanzhou and Nanhua Province are adjacent, so the teleportation array between the two is adjacent.

And Tianyuan County is the largest city in Tianyuanzhou, with a city wall that is a thousand meters high and extremely magnificent.

Lin Chen and the other two fell from the sky and walked towards the city.

Xiao Wu looked at the city and exclaimed: "Master, this city is so big! It's much bigger than Tianyuan County City!"

"Yeah."

Lin Chen nodded and thought, after all, this is a continent, and Tianyuan County is just a small county city.

Soon, the three walked into the city.

The city is extremely prosperous, with many shops and a wide variety of goods, including spiritual medicines, magic weapons, martial arts, etc. It can be called a huge market.

Lin Chen looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, what do you like? I'll buy it for you."

When the Nine Mysterious Queen heard his words, the corners of her mouth curled up. Although this man was domineering and cold, he was not indifferent.

Xiao Wu quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't need it. My strength has improved so quickly only because of your help, Master. You don't owe me anything!"

Lin Chen said: "Then just go shopping and tell me what you want, and I'll buy it for you."

"Oh." Xiao Wu nodded, a little excited.

Empress Jiuxuan didn't stop him either. No one in Tianyuan City would dare to mess around anyway.

After a while, the three of them entered an inn, and Lin Chen booked a separate room. The three of them rested in the room, waiting for the auction to start the next morning.

As soon as Xiao Wu entered the room, she took out a pill.

This elixir is about the size of a thumb, crystal clear, and exudes an alluring fragrance that makes people salivate just from smelling it.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing with it?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Empress Jiuxuan stared at the elixir with burning eyes and said excitedly: "What kind of elixir is this? It's so beautiful!"

"hey-hey!"

Xiao Wu chuckled and said: "I got this by chance. I thought it was quite fun, so I kept it secretly. However, I also tried and couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of this pill, but I could feel it. The elixir contains surging spiritual power, and if I absorb it, it will definitely improve a lot."

Lin Chen nodded when he heard this. This elixir does contain majestic spiritual power, but it is not suitable for Xiao Wu to use. She is physically weak and cannot absorb it.

On the other hand, you can refine it yourself and increase your cultivation, which is also a good choice.

He said to Xiao Wu: "In that case, just eat it. Not only will it improve your strength, but it will also be helpful for your future cultivation!"

Xiao Wu was delighted when he heard this and immediately swallowed the pill, then sat cross-legged on the bed and started refining it.

After a while, she opened her eyes, exhaled, and said in surprise: "Hey, I feel like my power has become stronger. The spiritual power of this pill is so abundant!"

Lin Chen said: "This elixir is called the Body Tempering Pill. It can strengthen the body after taking it. It has unimaginable effects on the transformation of the body and can increase the speed of cultivation. However, the side effects are also serious."

"Ah, the side effects are serious? Then...then you can't take this pill anymore!"

Xiao Wu was startled and said with some worry: "Then if the side effects are too severe and my body can't bear it, I'll be in trouble!"

Empress Jiuxuan frowned slightly and said: "This body tempering pill should have great side effects, otherwise, it won't be their turn to sell it!"

Lin Chen showed a smile on his face and explained: "Actually, this elixir has no side effects. It's just that after taking this elixir, your cultivation speed will be much slower."

"Ah!" Xiao Wu's eyes widened when he heard this.

Lin Chen smiled lightly and said: "How is it? Is it a little unexpected?"

Xiao Wu nodded, shook her head, and said: "There must be accidents, but I believe that as long as you practice hard, you will eventually be able to catch up with others!"

Empress Jiuxuan nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you persist in practicing, you will always be able to catch up with others, and the same is true for me."

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw that both women had such thoughts.

There is no one in this world who is willing to give up the opportunity to practice and settle for mediocrity. Perhaps it is only a special existence like myself.

He smiled and said: "That's good, you can practice in peace, and I will accompany you around Tianyuan State to see if there is anything interesting."

As soon as he said these words, Empress Jiuxuan, Xiao Wu and Bai Ye Heitian's eyes lit up and they seemed very interested. They had followed Lin Chen in the past few days, but they had not visited Tianyuan Prefecture much.

Lin Chen and the others left the inn and walked towards the outside of Tianyuan City.

Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan were both wearing red robes and looked very eye-catching, while Xiao Wu and Bai Yeheitian were wearing ordinary clothes and looked like followers.

Along the way, many people stopped and saluted respectfully when they saw Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

"Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"

…

A uniform voice echoed throughout the sky.

Empress Jiuxuan smiled and returned the greetings to everyone.

Lin Chen looked at this scene and thought to himself that Empress Jiuxuan really has the potential to be an empress. No matter when and where she is, she is noble and dignified, making people solemn.

"Lin Chen, have you noticed that these people are running towards the center of Tianyuan City?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.

"I noticed it too." Lin Chen frowned.

Xiao Wu took Lin Chen's arm and said: "Lin Chen, let's hurry up and take a look! In the center of Tianyuan City, it is said that there is a ten thousand-foot high tower. Whenever night falls, it will emit a dazzling rainbow, especially Beautiful, let’s go see it tonight!”

Lin Chen said: "Okay."

The four of them were also heading that way.

Tianyuan City is divided into four streets, north, south, east and west. Each street is extremely spacious and can accommodate hundreds of carriages passing by. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and there are even vendors selling various rare and exotic animals. carrying their goods.

Lin Chen and the other four did not fly on the flying sword, but walked slowly through the long street.

Suddenly, Lin Chen stopped and looked at a loft in front of him on the right. This loft was not luxurious, but it gave people the feeling of being very tall, as if standing in front of it, he was as small as an ant.

There is a plaque hanging on the attic with the words "Tianbao Pavilion" written on it.

"Tianbao Pavilion! Why does this name sound familiar?"

Lin Chen muttered in his heart, and the information about Tianbao Pavilion flashed in his mind. He slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh, I remember, it is a chamber of commerce opened by Fenglei Sect, specializing in selling various rare items!"

"So that's it, no wonder it sounds familiar."

Xiao Wu nodded, looked at Lin Chen and said: "Should we go in? I haven't visited this Tianbao Pavilion yet, and I don't know what good things there are."

"Let's go and have a look!"

Lin Chen nodded and walked towards Tianbao Pavilion.

There are many shops in Tianyuan City, but only Tianbao Pavilion is the top shop, because in addition to selling various elixirs, martial arts skills, magic weapons, etc., it also has a variety of materials.

In addition, Tianbao Pavilion also has professional appraisers to help with valuation and find buyers.

Lin Chen and his friends went straight to Tianbao Pavilion.

As soon as they entered Tianbao Pavilion, the fragrant smell of medicine spread, which made people feel refreshed.

When the clerk saw someone coming in, he immediately greeted them warmly.

Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Empress had already changed into a set of purple clothes. Although they were still men's clothes, they were relatively low-key. Xiao Wu and Bai Ye Hei Tian were wearing ordinary clothes. With their childish faces, they looked like country bumpkins.

After Lin Chen asked about the price, he went straight to the fifth floor.

"Sir, what do you need to buy?"

As soon as he stepped onto the fifth floor, an old man came up to greet him with a respectful tone and a humble attitude.

Lin Chen took out a piece of ice lotus grass and gave it to the old man, saying: "Will you take this ice lotus grass?"

The old man quickly took the ice lotus grass, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Young master, your ice lotus grass is actually a seventh-level ice lotus grass, no wonder you can sell it!"

Lin Chen smiled and said: "Since you know each other, then you can name a price."

The old man thought for a while and said: "Although this ice lotus grass is only a seventh-level low-grade spiritual medicine, its value is far more than this. If you really want to sell it, then I will buy it for eighty low-grade spiritual crystals!"

Eighty low-grade spiritual crystals are a huge sum of money even for some people with small forces.

"No!" Lin Chen shook his head directly.

The old man said, "Sir, our Tianbao Pavilion is the largest chamber of commerce under the Tianyun Sect. You should know how terrifying the Tianyun Sect is, right?"

"I understand what you mean, but the value of this ice lotus grass is far more than eighty low-grade spirit crystals. It is impossible to buy it with eighty low-grade spirit crystals. You don't have to persuade us anymore." Lin Chen said lightly.

"In that case, then we can't help you."

The old man sighed and turned away, thinking that this kid was a little greedy.

Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Queen continued to walk up.

After a while, Lin Chen stopped.

He looked at the attic in front of him, his face was stunned.

This Tianbao Pavilion was actually the property of the Tianyun Sect.

He had heard Su Xiran mention that the Tianyun Sect was also an extremely powerful sect in the Holy Land, with a deep foundation and amazing wealth.

Not long ago, he and the Nine Mysterious Queen were still discussing the Tianyun Sect, but they met people from the Tianyun Sect so soon.

"Lin Chen, what should we do now?"

Xiao Wu looked at Lin Chen and asked.

The Nine Mysterious Empress also looked at Lin Chen. Although she was an empress, she was gentle and quiet after all. She was still a little flustered when she encountered such a situation.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Chen said, "Since we have met, let's go in and take a look."

He and the Nine Mysterious Empress walked into the Tianbao Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the attic, Lin Chen saw a middle-aged man standing at the counter. He looked about 40 years old, wearing a gray-brown robe, with a straight body and elegant temperament.
