Under intense pain, the Nine-Headed Bird had no intention of letting go.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and conjured a wooden sword out of thin air, starting to saw at the bird's beak.

His True Qi depleted, then surged again.

Back and forth, repeatedly, until finally breaking through the critical point.

"Leveled up? You actually leveled up at a time like this?" Zhou Zhuqing saw the golden light emanating from him and couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Lin Chen, kill it!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, "No need to say it, I'm trying my best!"

In the next second, he finally broke free from the bird's restraint.

Falling to the ground, he tumbled several times in a sorry state.

Stopping to look at the already dilapidated Nine-Headed Bird, he cursed through gritted teeth, "Nine-Headed Bird, nine heads, nine lives, truly troublesome!"

"Now there are only two heads left, one for you and one for me, let's end this beast!" Zhou Zhuqing, covered in blood, but full of spirit.

If the two of them were to join forces to kill a ninth-grade monster and spread the news, it would be the glory of their Zhou family!

"What's the point of wasting words? Kill it!" Lin Chen roared.

Just after leveling up, his True Qi surged with full power.

More resilient vines materialized, entwining the Nine-Headed Bird. Due to the increase in strength, these vines mutated. Originally bare vines, they now grew countless thorns that mercilessly pierced the bird's skin.

"Hehe!"

The Nine-Headed Bird felt the pain and seemed to sense the danger of death. Instead of fighting, it wanted to flee.

At this point, how could they let it escape!

Lin Chen exerted all his strength and tightened the vines, "Zhou Zhuqing, cut it down for me!"

"Here it comes!"

"Die!"

Accompanying Zhou Zhuqing was a young and tender voice.

The weak and helpless little girl from earlier, for some unknown reason, mustered the courage and used her blood as bait to instantly poison the bird.

She threw all the blood poison onto Lin Chen's vines.

These toxins quickly entered the Nine-Headed Bird's body through the vines, making its movements even slower.

"Now is the time, Zhou Zhuqing!" Lin Chen seized the opportunity and roared.

Zhou Zhuqing descended from the sky, gripping her long sword with both hands, using all her strength to stab fiercely into the Nine-Headed Bird's back.

"Splurt!"

The entire sword plunged into the bird's body.

The intense pain triggered the bird's last bit of strength, causing it to shake Zhou Zhuqing away.

In mid-air, Zhou Zhuqing spat out blood, even mixed with fragments of her internal organs.

"Aqing!" Lin Chen, ignoring everything else, supported his empty dantian and conjured a vine that reached out towards Zhou Zhuqing.

Using all his strength, he caught her, "Splurt!"

Before he could even speak, Lin Chen also spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The moment before closing his eyes, Zhou Zhuqing saw Lin Chen, who was coughing up blood to save her, and felt infinite emotions in her heart.

Fighting side by side, although there were casualties, at least all these monsters were killed.

"Lin Chen, are you alright?" Luo Yunli walked over, glanced at Zhou Zhuqing in his arms, and furrowed her brows slightly, "She's injured in her vital organs, quickly take her back for treatment!"

Liu Qingyao, covered in blood, gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Chen, "Kid, you've got some skills."

At a time like this, she still had so much to say.

Lin Chen took out the last two bottles of elixirs.

He first stuffed two pills into Zhou Zhuqing's mouth, then looked at Luo Yunli.

Although Luo Yunli was in a sorry state, she was not injured. She shook her head and said, "I don't need it."

Lin Chen was generous and directly handed the elixirs to Liu Qingyao, saying, "You distribute them to them!"

After speaking, he hugged Zhou Zhuqing and turned to leave.

After walking a distance, he regretted it a bit.

He handed Zhou Zhuqing to other disciples and turned back.

Seeing him return, Liu Qingyao smiled and said, "What? Do you still want to play the hero in front of me?"

Lin Chen chuckled and then took out a dagger to harvest the inner cores of the demonic beasts.

What a joke, he almost lost his life. If he didn't bring back some benefits, wouldn't that be a big loss?

Liu Qingyao's smile stiffened, and she watched Lin Chen pass by her and walk towards those dirty, smelly, and dilapidated demonic beasts.

After seeing his actions clearly, her face turned dark, and she became angry and anxious, spitting out a mouthful of blood and fainting.

Now, the situation became even more chaotic.

But Lin Chen calmly collected all the inner cores of the demonic beasts.

These people from the immortal sect were made of special materials. As long as they still had a breath, they wouldn't die.

But if these inner cores were left here without being taken, they would dissipate. Wouldn't that be a pity?

Luo Yunli stood there, watching Lin Chen's actions, frowning slightly.

This was the first time she felt a bit embarrassed.

"That's enough, let's go." Finally unable to bear it, Luo Yunli spoke up.

Just at that moment, Lin Chen had already dug out the last inner core.

He came over with a spring in his step, took Zhou Zhuqing from someone else's hands, and followed the rest of the group back to their camp.

Looking at Zhou Zhuqing lying unconscious on the bed, Lin Chen felt a bit helpless. "I don't know how to treat illnesses."

If only he had brought Medicine Master Liang.

"She has suffered severe internal injuries and needs time to recover slowly," Luo Yunli said, standing there dirty but still looking independent.

Internal injuries?

Lin Chen rummaged through his pocket and took out a red pill bottle. "This is the Seven Injury Pill. It is said to treat internal injuries. Can it be used?"

"You have the Seven Injury Pill?" Luo Yunli's usually calm eyes showed a hint of surprise. "The pharmacist in your mansion is Liang Shan?"

Lin Chen nodded. "Yes, it's him. Does the Sect Leader know him too?"

"I know him. Liang Shan is a renowned alchemist, but because of his eccentric personality, no one has been able to tame him. How did you manage to do it?" Luo Yunli looked at Lin Chen curiously.

Before, this person had spent ten years in the Eternal Immortal Sect without anything remarkable. But after coming down the mountain, he seemed to have become incredibly powerful.

Not only did he have dual elemental roots, but he also broke through the Foundation Building stage and reached the Gold Core stage in a short period of time. It was like a dream.

Approaching him, she looked at him and asked, "Who are you really? Were you pretending to be weak before?"

"I wish I had really pretended to be weak back then, but unfortunately, I didn't. I only gained my elemental roots after coming down the mountain, and by a fortunate coincidence, I obtained my current cultivation level." Lin Chen spoke honestly.

Everything was just a fortunate coincidence.

After hearing this, Luo Yunli nodded without much expression.

"Things here are all taken care of. You can go back now." Luo Yunli waved her hand.

The demonic beasts had been completely killed, and they could handle the remaining cleanup work.

Zhou Zhuqing was seriously injured and couldn't endure the journey. It was better for her to return earlier.

This trip was quite rewarding for Lin Chen. He not only broke through the bottleneck of the Foundation Building stage and smoothly reached the Gold Core stage, but also obtained a bag full of demonic beast inner cores.
