Lin Xiuyuan tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt very heavy. It took him a while to open them completely.
An antique-style room came into view. Before he could take a closer look, his thoughts began to race, and he felt weak all over, accompanied by waves of pain. The pain was not intense, but rather extremely uncomfortable and constantly stinging.
Lin Xiuyuan looked down and saw that his body was wrapped in bandages. He could feel a magical ointment under the bandages, which emitted a cool sensation and relieved the pain.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan felt relieved, and his thoughts slowly began to turn. A hint of anticipation immediately appeared in his eyes.
"It seems I've successfully returned to Beihefang City. I wonder where I'm recuperating now... But that's not important. What's important is that I'll soon have the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. If Chen Xue can really bring me the Dragon Jade, along with a lot of rare and precious materials, I can maximize my chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
At this moment, the maid waiting outside the door seemed to sense that Lin Xiuyuan had woken up. She knocked on the door to announce her arrival, then pushed the door open and entered. She came to the bedside, bowed slightly, and said:
"Young Master Lin, you're awake? You've been unconscious for several days. If you still feel unwell anywhere, please tell me what you need for healing. There are some pills and powders for external and internal injuries on the table."
"No need for that. Please inform Fellow Daoist Chen for me first," Lin Xiuyuan said directly.
He was not seriously injured, and after several days of recuperation with elixirs and powders, he is gradually recovering.
Now that he has awakened, he can use his magic power to speed up the refining of the pills and will recover quickly. There is no need to worry about this matter; it is just some external injury.
The maid acknowledged and respectfully withdrew.
Not long after.
Chen Xue appeared at the door, smiling, and slowly walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you just woke up? Shouldn't you heal your injuries first?"
"It's nothing serious, just an external injury. Now that I'm awake, I just need to heal myself." Lin Xiuyuan said that he was fine, and after propping himself up and half-lying down, he continued with a smile: "When I was teleported here, I was affected by the teleportation power and couldn't hold on and fainted. I don't know what happened after that. Seeing that Fellow Daoist Chen is safe and sound, I'm relieved."
Chen Xue gave him a playful look and teased, "I wonder if you're worried about my safety, or about the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Lin Xiuyuan's little scheme was exposed, but his expression remained unchanged. With a smile, he said, "Both are available."
Chen Xue smiled, shook her head, and then tossed out a Qiankun bag.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes immediately flashed with excitement. He reached out and grabbed it, and then he heard Chen Xue say, "Besides the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, there are also nearly fifteen spiritual items as promised. They are all rare and precious natural treasures of the low to mid-level, which should be able to help you break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible..."
"As for the Dragon Jade, we have no clue yet, and we don't know where Chen Shaorong obtained it. However, I have sent a message back to the clan, and I believe that with this opportunity, the ancestor will speak up personally, and it should be a sure thing to get the Dragon Jade."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't help but cup his hands and say, "That's enough. My chance to advance to the next realm has been maximized. I really thank Fellow Daoist Chen."
"I must thank you. If it weren't for you taking this Netherworld Orchid, I would have lost power in the family struggle and fallen out of the top cultivation sequence, which would have had a huge impact on my cultivation path!" Chen Xue waved her hands repeatedly and then clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying:
"I never expected Chen Shaorong to scheme against me. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lin turned the tide at the crucial moment? This will truly be a regret for me for the rest of my life. Now that I have successfully obtained the Netherworld Orchid, it will have a huge impact on my path of cultivation. Don't be fooled by the amount of resources I have invested. In reality, compared to this, it is just a drop in the ocean. Fellow Daoist Lin has made an invaluable contribution!"
Chen Xue spoke almost frankly, her words filled with gratitude.
Lin Xiuyuan naturally understood this, after all, this was the Netherworld Orchid!
Such rare and precious items, even a single petal, are worth dozens of times more than the resources before us!
However, in reality, such a comparison is inappropriate. He was not capable of seizing such an opportunity. Obtaining a piece of Netherworld Orchid and these resources was already beyond his expectations.
Furthermore, the most important opportunity for him right now is only a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. Faced with a Netherworld Orchid and a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, he can only choose the latter!
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you flatter me. It's just that we each have our own needs."
Chen Xue smiled and said, "Regardless, I still want to thank you for this matter, fellow Daoist."
She paused, then continued, "As for the rest of the mess... You know Chen Shaorong is my cousin, so he's indeed difficult to deal with. But I believe he won't cause any trouble for Fellow Daoist Lin in the future. In this struggle among the direct descendants of my third branch, he's completely out of the picture and will likely be assigned to guard some remote corner. I will spare no effort to suppress him, so I believe he won't pose a threat to Fellow Daoist Lin."
"As for the Wei family, you can rest assured. I will completely resolve this worry for you. No one will seek revenge. If they are not very clever, then it won't be long before the Wei family of Yan disappears from this world!"
Chen Xue said calmly, a chilling killing intent flickering in her eyes.
Lin Xiuyuan nodded noncommittally and casually said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't care much about this. He didn't harbor any deep-seated hatred. The person had already been killed, and the matter was more or less over. He wasn't a ruthless killer who would wipe out an entire clan for one or two people.
