Chapter 537 This is... Thousand-year Blood Ginseng

Zhang Lie glanced at everyone in Wandu Castle and said to them, "Everyone in Wandu Castle, I suggest that we take this guy down immediately and hand him over to the Lord of Wandu Castle for trial."

"Yes!"

Everyone in Wandu Castle nodded in agreement, and then surrounded Lin Chen with cold eyes, as if they could attack at any time.

"You want to capture him?" The Nine Mysterious Empress frowned and said coldly, "This is my husband. If you want to deal with him, step over my body first!"

Her tone was firm and she did not hesitate.

The voice of the Nine Mysterious Empress was clearly heard by Lin Chen, which made Lin Chen feel warm in his heart. He was slightly startled, and then looked at the Nine Mysterious Empress with a gentle look and said, "Thank you, Jiuxuan!"

"There is no need to be polite between husband and wife." The Nine Mysterious Empress said.

Zhang Lie gritted his teeth when he saw this. His original idea was to capture Lin Chen and present him to the Lord of the Castle, so that he would have made great contributions in Wandu Castle.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and the Nine Mysterious Queen actually stood on Lin Chen's side.

"Damn it! Is this woman crazy? In this situation, she actually chose to help an irrelevant outsider! Isn't she afraid that this kid will kill her!"

Zhang Lie was extremely angry, but the words of the Nine Mysterious Queen completely cut off his thoughts.

He stared at Lin Chen coldly and shouted: "Since the Nine Mysterious Queen is unwilling to let you in, then you'd better come with me obediently, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Lin Chen frowned and looked at the Nine Mysterious Queen and said: "Are you sure you want to protect him?"

"He is my husband, I will not allow anyone to bully him!" The Nine Mysterious Queen shook her head firmly, her tone unquestionable.

Zhang Lie's face twitched, and he wanted to rush up and tear the Nine Mysterious Queen's beautiful face apart.

"Very good! Then, today I want to see who dares to attack me!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen glanced at the people in Wandu Castle. In an instant, everyone in Wandu Castle was stiff and stood there like puppets.

"You——" Zhang Lie's pupils shrank sharply, and he was terrified. He had seen this kind of terrifying pressure on the castle owner before!

He didn't understand why this man who looked weak and even a little thin could burst out with such a suffocating momentum.

The next second, Lin Chen disappeared and appeared beside Zhang Lie. He slapped his palm, and Zhang Lie immediately spurted blood and flew three or four meters away.

Boom——

He smashed the window and fell into the pool outside the yard, splashing huge waves.

At this moment, the whole mansion was silent.

Lin Chen looked at the people in Wandu Castle indifferently: "Who else wants to attack me?"

The people in Wandu Castle trembled and were full of fear.

Although they were powerful men in the extraordinary realm, they knew that this young man was definitely much stronger than them.

Zhang Lie was slapped into the pool, and it was obvious that he was in danger. If he continued to fight, he would probably have to fight to the death with the other party, but would fighting to the death be useful?

"Enough! You won." Zhang Lie, the fortress of Wandu Castle, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and climbed up, saying bitterly.

"I don't really want to hurt you, but since I have promised to treat Jiuxuan's father, you must also keep your promise." Lin Chen said.

Zhang Lie sighed and nodded helplessly.

Although the people of Wandu Castle were still somewhat unwilling, they had no way to regret it at this moment, because they no longer had the qualifications to compete with Jiuxuan Empress.

Lin Chen looked at Jiuxuan Empress and asked, "Miss, where is your father now?"

"In the southern suburbs of the city, I'll take you there." Jiuxuan Empress said.

...

In the southern suburbs of the city is a medicinal garden in Wan Gu Villa.

The Nine Mysterious Empress led Lin Chen to the medicine garden, and met many guards, servants and others along the way.

There are hundreds of acres of lawns here, and many precious medicinal materials are planted around the lawns, including Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, seven-leaf clover, flame flower...

"Are these poisonous insects and spirit beasts all cultivated by you?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, they are all my friends."

The Nine Mysterious Empress nodded and said, "I usually like to study poison refining, so I raise a lot of poisonous insects. My father will have people pick some spirit herbs to feed them every once in a while."

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt a little emotional. Although he also knew some alchemy, he only studied medical skills and did not understand the art of poison refining at all.

But the Nine Mysterious Empress has reached this level, and she is really worthy of being the pride of the Ten Thousand Poison Castle.

As they were talking, Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Empress walked to the bottom of a purple-black flower. This was a medicinal herb called the Millennium Blood Ginseng. It had harsh growing conditions and needed to be cultivated by a special hot spring for hundreds of years before it could grow into shape. After taking it, it could increase lifespan and was very valuable.

"Hey, why did this Millennium Blood Ginseng turn red?" Lin Chen suddenly asked in surprise.

The Nine Mysterious Empress looked at the Millennium Blood Ginseng and said, "The older the Millennium Blood Ginseng is, the stronger its medicinal properties will be, and the stronger its medicinal power will be. Now this medicinal herb is just about to mature, so it will turn red. I will take it now!"

After saying that, the Nine Mysterious Empress reached out and pulled up the Millennium Blood Ginseng.

This scene made Zhang Lie's eyes red, and he almost vomited blood with heartache.

This Millennium Blood Ginseng was obtained by him with great effort and a lot of wealth. Now the Nine Mysterious Empress wanted to snatch his treasure away directly, which was simply cutting his flesh!

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "No need. Give it to me. This thousand-year-old blood ginseng is useful to me."

The Nine Mysterious Queen was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

She handed the thousand-year-old blood ginseng in her hand to Lin Chen, who took it and put it into the Sumeru Ring.

Zhang Lie saw Lin Chen's actions, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

"Okay, let's leave here first. Don't worry about your father's illness. I can help him treat it myself." Lin Chen said, holding the wrist of the Nine Mysterious Queen.

The Nine Mysterious Queen hesitated slightly, then nodded obediently.

She did not refuse, because she felt that maybe Lin Chen could really cure her father?

Zhang Lie's eyes showed resentment, and he was very angry.

How could this guy get the favor of Her Majesty the Queen and hold her hand!

However, the next second, Lin Chen turned around and slapped him.

Snap!

Zhang Lie's face was swollen, and two of his teeth were knocked out. He fell to the ground with a thud, howling miserably.

"You...what are you doing?" Zhang Lie widened his eyes and covered his face, unable to understand why the other party suddenly attacked.

"Don't forget the agreement between us. Now I have given you the thousand-year-old blood ginseng. I hope you remember what you said just now. If you dare to violate it, then the end is death!"

Lin Chen snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy.

Hearing this, the Nine Mysterious Empress looked at Lin Chen with a little more gratitude. Regardless of whether Lin Chen was willing to stay and save his father, this matter still depended on Lin Chen.

She turned around and was about to take Lin Chen to a house in the east of the city, but just as she took a step, Lin Chen stopped.

Lin Chen glanced at the hillside in the distance and said to the Nine Mysterious Empress: "Wait a moment, I have some questions to ask the old man in black."

"Yes."

The Nine Mysterious Empress nodded and stood there waiting.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance.

Then, three or four figures flew over and soon appeared in front of the two.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, with a dignified face and a sense of oppression.

Behind him followed two young men, the left one was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, and the other was a young man in white.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress!" After seeing the Nine Mysterious Empress, the three of them hurriedly saluted respectfully, and then looked at Lin Chen next to the Nine Mysterious Empress with a suspicious look.

The two young men were Zhang Lie and his son Zhang Yaoyun, and the other young man in white was Zhang Lie's grandson, Zhang Haoran.

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Lie and frowned, "I'll ask you a few questions, tell me the truth."

Zhang Lie's face changed slightly, not understanding what Lin Chen was going to do. He hesitated and finally nodded.

Lin Chen said indifferently: "How did you escape from the inner gate of Shengyuan Sect that day? Recall it again!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Lie nodded, recalled carefully, and then said: "At that time, I used a trick to pretend to fight with Brother Lin, but I took the opportunity to take my son away."

Lin Chen asked: "Then how did you escape the pursuit? Don't lie to me, or I will kill you!"

After saying that, his face turned cold, and he looked fierce, which frightened Zhang Lie so much that his body trembled.

"I dare not, I am telling the truth."

Zhang Lie swallowed his saliva, and then told Lin Chen all about how he pretended to be Lin Chen.

It turned out that after Zhang Lie took Zhang Yaoyun to hide in Lin Chen's cave, Lin Chen left.

Later, in the middle of the night, Lin Chen came back and found Zhang Lie, and then began to ask them about the information of Shengyuan Sect.

Zhang Lie did not dare to lie, and told him everything.

After Lin Chen learned from Zhang Lie that Zhang Haotian was indeed a member of the Zhang family, he agreed to save Zhang Haotian.

Zhang Haotian was seriously injured and needed a top-grade blood ginseng to heal him. However, although Zhang Haotian was the young master of the Zhang family, he could not get the top-grade blood ginseng at all. Moreover, Zhang Haotian's cultivation was very slow and he was estimated to live for no more than three months.

Zhang Haotian was a little reluctant to hear Zhang Lie's cry for mercy, but he was unwilling to give up his life and advised Zhang Lie not to bother the Nine Mysterious Empress anymore.

Lin Chen discussed with the Nine Mysterious Empress and decided to save all the Zhang family members. As long as the Zhang family members stopped bothering the Nine Mysterious Empress, Lin Chen would help Zhang Haotian heal his injuries.

Zhang Lie and his son naturally had no objection.

Lin Chen asked Zhang Lie to take Zhang Yaoyun back, and he and the Nine Mysterious Empress rushed to Shengyuan Sect.

On the way, Lin Chen also asked about the current situation of the Nine Mysterious Empress. He found that she was still a cultivator in the foundation building stage and had not yet reached the Golden Core Stage. He was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Nine Mysterious Empress had already formed a fetus.

The Nine Mysterious Empress said: "My talent is not particularly high. Although I have the elixir you gave me, I am only at the eighth level of the foundation building stage. Moreover, because of the practice, the time it takes to form a fetus is slightly longer than that of ordinary people."

Lin Chen nodded and did not comment.

Although the Nine Mysterious Empress said the truth, Lin Chen noticed that the tone of the Nine Mysterious Empress had changed a lot from before. It was obvious that she was no longer the same as before and only wanted to repay her kindness.

Lin Chen sighed in his heart: Women, what a fickle creature!

The two of them rushed all the way. Half a day later, they finally arrived at the Shengyuan Sect. After entering the scope of the Shengyuan Sect, Lin Chen stopped flying in the air and walked with the Nine Mysterious Empress.

After a while, the two came to a manor.
