Because the most powerful Nine-Headed Bird was hunted by them, naturally no one would compete with him for these inner cores.

Lin Chen arched his hand and said, "Be careful, Master."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to leave the Seven Injury Pill in Luo Yunli's hands.

I wonder if she will use it or not.

On the way, Zhou Zhuqing's condition has always been not good. Helpless, Lin Chen could only wrap her up with vines so that the shaking wouldn't affect her wounds.

After going back and forth, plus the time spent fighting monsters, almost a month has passed.

Zhou Zhuqing slept all the way and finally woke up when they arrived at the doorstep of her house.

But even when she woke up, her whole body was in pain. Even a slight movement would be excruciating.

Gasping in pain, she frowned and looked at Lin Chen, "Where is this?"

"We have returned to Maple City. This is the entrance of the Zhou family. You're home now." Lin Chen retracted the vines and looked at her worriedly. "Are you okay?"

Zhou Zhuqing struggled to sit up, one hand covering the area of her chest, in unbearable pain. "It hurts."

"Qing'er, what happened?" The head of the Zhou family hurriedly came out after receiving the news.

Looking at his precious daughter in such a pitiful state, he felt a pang of heartache. "How did it end up like this?"

"Father, don't worry, I won't die. We joined forces to hunt down a Ninth Grade Monster Beast! We've become famous!" Zhou Zhuqing still felt excited when she mentioned this, but she accidentally pulled on her wound too hard, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhou family widened his eyes in disbelief. "What did you say? A Ninth Grade Monster Beast?"

Lin Chen quickly explained the situation and then looked at the head of the Zhou family. "She has injuries to her internal organs and needs proper rest and recuperation."

Looking at the two people who had just gone through hardships together, the head of the Zhou family pondered for a moment before speaking, "Where else would be more suitable for her to recuperate than your Lin Mansion? After all, there is an alchemist in your mansion. If anything happens, she can be treated at any time, right?"

"Are you suggesting that she should recuperate at my house?" Lin Chen smiled ambiguously.

Both of them were men, so how could Lin Chen not understand the meaning behind the head of the Zhou family's words?

Zhou Zhuqing had innate spiritual roots and her cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Building. She was about to break through.

If she cultivated with someone like him, their child would definitely have extraordinary spiritual roots.

Zhou Zhuqing felt something was off. "Father, don't we have a doctor at home?"

"How can our Zhou family's doctor compare to an alchemist?" The head of the Zhou family looked pitifully at Lin Chen. "Master Lin, what do you think..."

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Zhuqing and said, "Your injuries are indeed serious. Why don't you come home with me?"

"Then I'll trouble you." Zhou Zhuqing blushed a little.

She didn't forget what she saw before she passed out.

This guy risked his life to save her. How could she not be moved at all?

Both sides almost immediately reached an agreement.

Zhou Zhuqing was directly sent to the Lin Mansion to recuperate, accompanied by a dozen or so maidservants who were specifically assigned to attend to Zhou Zhuqing.

Medicine Master Liang had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

Seeing Zhou Zhuqing in such a miserable state, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Tsk tsk, it's already fortunate enough to come back alive. You're lucky, very lucky!"

"I say old man, it's already this late, stop talking nonsense and quickly treat the illness and save people," Lin Chen helplessly looked at Medicine Master Liang.

Medicine Master Liang had already prepared everything and immediately stuffed the pills into Zhou Zhuqing's mouth. Then he turned to Lin Chen and asked, "Didn't you give her the Qi-boosting pill?"

"She took it, she finished all of them," Lin Chen sat on the side and vividly described the situation at that time.

Medicine Master Liang's mouth twitched as he listened. He gritted his teeth and said, "You prodigal child! You, you prodigal child! Those were all rare and precious medicines. You just let her eat them like that? You prodigal child!"

"But you gave me the medicine to eat, didn't you?" Lin Chen was puzzled.

He looked at Medicine Master Liang with a wry smile and then whispered, "Besides, we have our own medicinal field at home. If we run out, we can just make more, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I've made a breakthrough. Thanks to you, I should thank you properly," Lin Chen smiled and looked at Medicine Master Liang.

He had also been injured, but because of the Spring after Withered Wood and the pills, he had already recovered quite well.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhuqing's condition was relatively serious.

"I told you before to make some poison for me. If you had, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss this time," Lin Chen sighed, blinked his eyes, and whispered, "By the way, I saw a child on the battlefield before. He had extraordinary talent, but unfortunately, he was from the Jade Immortal Sect, not our Eternal Immortal Sect."

Listening to Lin Chen's rambling, Zhou Zhuqing felt a headache coming on. She frowned helplessly and said, "Can you please stop talking? I'm tired. Leave."

"Oh, then rest well," Lin Chen nodded and turned to leave.

After Medicine Master Liang finished acupuncture and lit a calming incense for her, he made sure she fell asleep before finally feeling relieved enough to leave.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lin Chen surrounded by a group of women in the courtyard.

The women covered their mouths and exclaimed, "Wow, the young master is really amazing!"

Curious, Medicine Master Liang walked over and looked at the densely packed monster beast inner cores on the ground. He was also taken aback, "So many? How is this possible?"

"The Beast-Sealing Tower was loosened, and these are the ones that ran out," Lin Chen honestly explained, "After we killed that White Tiger monster beast, the other monster beasts, for some reason, rushed out. We just killed them all."

Medicine Master Liang's expression changed, "You foolish boy, do you know that there aren't actually this many monster beasts in the Beast-Sealing Tower? And there are no monster beasts below the seventh level in the tower."

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen furrowed his brows, "Are you saying that these monster beasts aren't from the Beast-Sealing Tower?"

"I heard that the Demon Lord Lu Hai is a beast tamer. She can control monster beasts, demon beasts, and even divine beasts or contracted spirit pets as long as they are beasts. These, I'm afraid, were intentionally lured here by her. She wanted to wipe you all out, but you, a reckless person, ruined her plan," Medicine Master Liang furrowed his brows, "After hearing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Almost instinctively, he hugged himself, "Oh my god, she won't kill me out of anger, will she?"

"Lu Hai is greedy, but not bloodthirsty. She won't kill you, but you still need to be more careful in the future. After this battle, you're no longer an insignificant pawn. You have a place in the immortal sect. You must be more cautious, understand?" Medicine Master Liang looked at him with some concern.

Lin Chen furrowed his brows, "Are you afraid that they will kill me?"

"They will try to win you over first. If that fails, they will stand in the light and kill you, making it seem like you deserved it. Even death would be justified," Medicine Master Liang snorted disdainfully, "This is how the various sects have always operated over the years. I've long been used to it."
