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

The headquarters of the Divine Court is located on the top of a thousand-foot cliff in the east of the city. This kind of steep cliff, unless there is a flying tool such as a flying boat, if you walk on foot, even some ordinary people will fall to death halfway up the climb.

If you want to take a flying boat, you must pay spirit stones.

The Divine Court collects a large amount of spirit stones every year, and these spirit stones are not collected in vain. The Divine Court will also give everyone elixirs or martial arts, and may even reward magic weapons.

Therefore, every once in a while, the Divine Court will organize a group tour.

Now there are still two days before the next departure time, so Lin Chen asked the shopkeeper if he could take a flying boat.

The shopkeeper said with some embarrassment: "Young man, I know a place where you can take a flying boat to the headquarters of the Divine Court."

"Oh? Where is it, please explain in detail, shopkeeper." Lin Chen said hurriedly.

The shopkeeper pointed to the corner and said, "Young man, look at the corner. There is an old man who is setting up a stall to tell fortunes. We all call him the Feng Shui Master. This Feng Shui Master is very good at telling fortunes. There is always a constant stream of people who go to buy fortunes."

Lin Chen looked in the direction of the shopkeeper's finger and saw a middle-aged man in blue clothes, carrying a wooden sword, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

This man was pale and thin, with a goatee and wrinkled skin like bark. At first glance, he looked like a beggar who might die at any time.

"Is he the Feng Shui Master? Why does he look a bit sloppy, like a beggar." Lin Chen couldn't help but mutter.

"Little brother, who are you talking about as a beggar!"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and snorted coldly.

Although he looked haggard and looked very old, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and his temperament was so sharp that people dared not look at him.

This middle-aged man was the Feng Shui Master Shen Lao Han.

Old man Shen stood up, stared at Lin Chen coldly, and said: "Little kid, do you know what it means to be a little foolish? I am a young man with white hair and a simple face, returning to nature! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Chen was stared at by the other party, his heart thumped, and he felt the horrible oppression coming from the other party, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He smiled and apologized: "It's my fault! Don't be angry, grandpa, I just spoke too quickly."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Old man Shen didn't bother to pay more attention to him.

"Old man, don't scare the child. I tell you, he is my apprentice. If you dare to bully him, it's the same as bullying me. Believe it or not, I will make your shop closed?"

Suddenly, a young man with an arrogant face walked in from the door. He was tall and well-proportioned, with handsome features, but the two mustaches on his lips added a sense of vulgarity to him.

He spoke arrogantly and glanced at Lin Chen as soon as he entered the door.

"Hahaha! So it's Mr. Li who's visiting my humble home. Welcome, welcome." Upon hearing this, Old Man Shen laughed, and greeted him warmly, extending his hand.

Lin Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was actually the owner of this inn, and from what he said, he should be a wealthy businessman.

"Hmph! Old man, you know what's good for you. I have a good temper and I don't have any airs, unlike some people who rely on others for power!" Li Yunfan saw this and looked satisfied.

Lin Chen thought to himself, this guy is really a dandy, what he said is simply disgusting.

"Young Master Li is right." Old Man Shen said with a smile.

Lin Chen frowned, thinking that this guy was too rampant. Not only did he say bad things about his master, he even scolded himself for relying on others for power.

Just as he was about to say something, Old Man Shen suddenly turned his head and looked at him, and shouted: "Shut up! You uneducated brat, why are you butting in when we are doing things in the Divine Court? If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame us for being violent."

His words were cold, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

Li Yunfan looked at Lin Chen jokingly, and said sarcastically: "Old man, don't talk to him so much. This guy is probably a country bumpkin who doesn't know what the Divine Court represents."

Old Man Shen nodded in agreement, "This kid is really stupid. He actually came to our Tianqiong Temple's territory and dared to question my words. However, he deserves it. He just saved me some money."

"You..." Lin Chen looked angry.

"Old man, thank you then." Lin Chen felt a little unhappy, but still nodded politely to thank him.

Not long after, Old Man Shen came back from a distance again, and there was an animal cart beside Lin Chen.

There were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on the beast cart, some of which were the materials needed by Lin Chen to refine the Bone Shaping Pill, and some were some food, such as grilled fish, roast chicken, and braised beef.

In addition, Lin Chen also saw several horses in front of the beast cart, all of which were very docile.

Lin Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect that this old man Shen actually raised such a spirit beast. This spirit beast had a violent temper and it was difficult for ordinary people to ride it. No wonder he rejected his proposal.

Lin Chen glanced at the beast cart, and then focused his attention on the top of the beast cart. There was a fist-sized purple crystal on it, emitting a faint light. This crystal was a top-grade spirit stone.

He was secretly happy in his heart. If he had enough top-grade spirit stones and found all the materials needed to refine the Bone Shaping Pill, he would be able to advance to the middle stage of Tongtian Realm as soon as possible.

At this time, Li Yunfan also got on the beast cart. He sat in front of the beast cart, snorted coldly, and looked disgusted.

He sneered at the Nine Mysterious Empress and said, "Sister, you are at least at the peak of the Tongtian Realm. Why do you choose to ride in such a rubbish beast cart? Isn't that too cheap?"

"Whose rubbish beast cart are you talking about?"

"Hey, what, old guy, do you still want to fight with me?"

Old Man Shen shook his head with a smile, not wanting to argue, so he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Li, since you are here, let me have a chat with you."

After speaking, he said to Lin Chen: "Little brother, go and have a rest."

Immediately, he said to Empress Jiuxuan: "Jiuxuan, follow me. There is something I want to discuss with you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but pull the Jiuxuan Empress towards the room, leaving Lin Chen with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what the two of them were doing. Could it be that they had some secrets?

Lin Chen followed him to the courtyard with a lot of questions.

There are several tables and chairs in the yard.

Lin Chen sat down and then greeted Old Shen: "Uncle Shen, please sit down too."

"Hey, little brother, you are really a kind person. Okay, I won't be polite then." Old Shen smiled brightly and sat next to Lin Chen.

He rubbed his palms together and said, "Little brother, look, I'm going to treat you to this meal tonight. In this way, the three of us can have a drink, how about it?"

"Uncle Shen, are you treating me to a treat?"

Lin Chen was a little dumbfounded. This old man Shen didn't seem to have any wealth at all. Where did he get the spiritual stone?

He asked doubtfully: "Uncle Shen, did you buy these materials for your spiritual stones?"

Old Man Shen said awkwardly: "Ahem...Actually, not all of these materials were bought with my money. Although I am a businessman, I am also a kind-hearted person who loves beauty, so I have collected a lot during this period. nice one."

"oh?"

"You guys chat first, I'll get you something to eat first." Old Man Shen stood up and walked into the house.

After a while, Old Man Shen walked in holding a wooden box and put the wooden box on the table with a smile.

"Little brother, try it and see if it tastes good? This is the wine I bought from a restaurant in the city. It tastes pretty good."

Lin Chen opened the wooden box, and the mellow smell of wine suddenly floated in the air. He smelled it and praised: "What a fragrant wine."

Old Man Shen said proudly: "This is one of the top ten hotels in Tianqiong Sanctuary. Naturally, they sell top-quality delicacies. Although this wine is nothing, it is not bad."

"Then I won't be polite."

Lin Chen picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. His eyes suddenly widened and he praised: "It's so delicious. Uncle Shen, your cooking skills are better than the dishes made by the master chef of the imperial kitchen in my hometown." , much more powerful!”

When Old Man Shen heard this, he burst out laughing and said, "You are quite good at flattery, and you have learned the art of flattery very well. Let me tell you, the master chef of the imperial kitchen is five thousand years old. "

Lin Chen hurriedly waved his hand to explain and said: "Uncle Shen, you misunderstood, I am not flattering you. There is a saying in my hometown, which is that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. As long as you are willing to try, I believe that you will always be successful. You’ll meet people who truly appreciate you.”

"Haha, young man, what you say is really likable. I understand what you are saying. But the problem is that I am old now and I may not be able to do anything else if I want to!" Old Shen said with a smile. "However, if you can stay together with someone as good as you for a lifetime, it will be a great blessing in life!"

There was emotion in his words, as if he remembered something.

Empress Jiuxuan frowned and looked at him and said, "Father, you just said that you have a way to heal my injury? What can you do?"

Li Yunfan's face changed for a while, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Shen, I know that I am responsible for this matter. However, you should also know that Sister Jiuxuan is the heir of Tianxuan Palace, and you cannot help her marry a Mediocre people.”

He glanced at Empress Jiuxuan and said: "And our Yunxiao Dynasty also has no shortage of outstanding young heroes!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Empress Jiuxuan snorted coldly: "Li Yunfan, if it weren't for you, it would be impossible for my father to recover from his illness. You must be responsible for this matter. As for my matter, I will consider it myself."

"I will practice hard, and I will find you when the time comes! Just wait for me!" Empress Jiuxuan looked at Lin Chen and said seriously, with a firm tone, as if she was making a promise to Lin Chen.

"Yes, I will!" Lin Chen nodded.

He thought to himself, I won't wait for you!

Seeing Lin Chen agree, Empress Jiuxuan looked happy, and then said with a sad face: "Unfortunately, I am already a dead person now."

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was startled and said quickly: "What are you doing? Don't think so wildly. I won't marry you just because you are dead!"

"Pfft!"

Old Man Shen couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then scolded him with a straight face: "You kid, what are you talking about!"

"Uh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Chen touched his head and smiled, thinking that this guy was indeed an old naughty boy, and he could be amused by him.

Old Shen laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you still dare to tease me, believe it or not, I will kick you out!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Empress Jiuxuan and said with a wry smile: "Miss Jiuxuan, we are old acquaintances. You should also know that I am a very rule-abiding person. This matter is of great importance. I really don't know what to do. How to deal with it. But don’t worry, as long as I am still alive, I will never treat Lin Chen badly!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shen." A smile appeared on Empress Jiuxuan's face.

"well……"

Old man Shen sighed, looked at Lin Chen and said, "I may be able to find a way to cure your special physique, but it will cost a lot, and you may even lose your life. And even if you are cured, it may affect your future practice!"

When the Nine Mysterious Queen heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Uncle Shen, you must have a way, tell me quickly!"

She knew that Old man Shen would never lie to her, and her heart began to beat violently. Could it be that she really had hope of recovery?

Lin Chen also looked at Old man Shen with expectation.

Old man Shen hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to know, I will tell you."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen, just tell me, as long as there is hope, I am willing to give it a try." The Nine Mysterious Queen nodded.

Then she looked at Lin Chen with a questioning look.

"Go ahead, I have nothing to do anyway." Lin Chen shook his head.

The Nine Mysterious Queen was grateful.

She was also a smart person. From all the signs last night, she guessed that she and Lin Chen had a very special relationship, but she also guessed that Lin Chen had his own things to do.

At this time, seeing Lin Chen's cooperation, she was very moved.

Old man Shen nodded, and then slowly said: "There are two things in this world that cannot be bought with ordinary herbs, pills and spirit stones. The first one is the 'Wanhua Yulu Pill'. It is an eighth-grade healing holy medicine that can repair the broken body and the broken dantian, and reshape the damaged spiritual sea. After taking it, the body can be healed and the spiritual sea can be recast."

"The other one is a pill called 'Gui'e Pill'. After taking it, it can extend a person's life by a hundred years. However, the side effects after taking it are also very shocking, that is, you can never break through to the transcendent state, and the longer your life, the greater the side effects. After taking three 'Gui'e Pills', you will definitely die."

Lin Chen frowned when he heard this.

Although his current life span is four or five times that of an ordinary warrior, he is still far from reaching the transcendent state, unless he gets some heaven-defying opportunity.

For example, he had heard in his previous life that there was a Tianyan Red Flame Ginseng in a ruin somewhere in the Tianyan Empire.

It is said that this ginseng is similar to the Bodhi Enlightenment Tree, and it bears a Tianyan Red Flame Fruit every once in a while.

Taking one fruit is enough to be equivalent to dozens of Bodhi Enlightenment Fruits.

It’s a pity that the Tianyan Red Flame Ginseng has long disappeared, and it is extremely difficult to get it.

In his previous life, Lin Chen had traveled in various secret realms and obtained many treasures, including the rare spiritual medicine Tianyan Red Flame Ginseng. However, he had never seen this kind of strange thing, and he had no way to refine it into a pill to take.

"Don't blame your uncle Shen, after all, he is also following the rules. I am not afraid of death for my own life. The only thing I worry about is you, Lin Chen and the baby in your belly."

The Nine Mysterious Queen smiled gently, stroking her bulging belly, and said: "So, I asked you to leave, stay far away."

Lin Chen frowned and said: "Are you sure we are safe if we stay far away? What if some strong man finds me and attacks you?"

The Nine Mysterious Queen shook her head and said with a firm face: "No one can threaten me. Even a super strong man of the ninth level of the Free and Easy Realm dare not touch me unless there is a special reason, otherwise, he will die!"

"What special reason?" Lin Chen asked doubtfully.
