Chapter 30 The Situation Gradually Changes, Gu Comes to the Door

The room was filled with the scent of herbs.

Lin Zhou withdrew his hand from taking the pulse.

"Ugh."

"I am powerless to help; what Pharmacist Wang said is indeed true."

Lin Zhou shook his head and said.

At this moment, the last glimmer of hope that Li Suifeng and Li Jianghe had left vanished completely.

They summoned Pharmacist Lin because they knew of his extraordinary talent and that he might actually be able to save their father's life.

But now that they have received Pharmacist Lin's reply, they have completely lost hope.

"Elder Wu, I wonder if you have noticed anything in my father?"

"My father is a seasoned martial arts master specializing in internal energy. To be able to attack him in this county and injure him like this, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire county who could do so. We beg Elder Wu to do us justice!"

Li Suifeng bowed respectfully to Elder Wu and said...

His tone was extremely sincere.

"Please, Elder Wu!"

Li Jianghe on the other side was the same.

"I have already examined him. There are too many injuries on Sect Leader Li's body to judge, and it is difficult to distinguish the severity. They must not want me to see anything, so they attacked Sect Leader Li like this. The person behind this is extremely vicious."

At this moment, Old Wu looked at Li Suifeng and his brother and couldn't help but explain.

"However, among those people in the Qingyuan Sect, it is very likely that one of them made a move, or even two of them."

"But it's just speculation right now."

"After all, most of the territory we've taken over recently belongs to other martial arts masters. Although I warned the sect leader that expanding now might provoke the jealousy of others."

"But what I didn't expect was that they would be able to go to such lengths."

"Young Master, I will stay by the Sect Master's side for the next few days, never leaving his side. If any other martial arts masters with internal energy come to the manor, I will fight them to the death."

Old Wu spoke with a very firm tone.

Wu Yun knew that the faction led by Li Sui, whom he relied on, had been severely damaged this time.

Previously, he had been supported by Sect Master Li Sui. Although the eldest son had now joined the Divine Constable Sect, he was only an Iron-Rank Constable. Now that his father, Sect Master Li Sui, was no longer there to help him, he would have to accumulate contribution points to go to the prefectural city and be promoted to a Bronze-Rank Constable.

The journey ahead was several times more difficult than before.

At this time, the only person that Wu Yun could value was Lin Zhou, who had been recruited into the Qingyuan Sect by Sect Master Li Sui.

Pharmacist Lin is exceptionally talented.

He was also promised by the bronze-plated constable of the Divine Arrest Bureau that if all went well, he would be able to go to the prefectural city in a few months, with a bright future ahead of him.

But all of that is too far away.

To transform one's talent into strength requires a process that could take at least eight to ten years to manifest. Currently, Pharmacist Lin is only at the Skin Refining stage, and has not yet been able to advance to the level of an intermediate pharmacist and become an advanced pharmacist.

To become a senior pharmacist, or to advance from an intermediate pharmacist, it is absolutely impossible to achieve anything without several years of experience.

"Thank you very much, Elder Wu!"

"We brothers will always remember Elder Wu's kindness!"

Li Suifeng said respectfully.

"Thank you, Elder Wu."

"If you ever need Jianghe's help in the future, please let me know."

Li Jianghe was also very respectful.

After all, the one with the highest cultivation level among them is Elder Wu, who is at the Qi Master level. The others who are not at the Qi level are just stronger chicks in front of a Qi Master, and can be easily crushed.

The two are not even on the same level.

"You two gentlemen, there's no need for such formalities. This is simply my duty."

Old Wu said with a smile.

However, Wu Lao was also pondering in his heart that, apart from himself and Li Sui, there were four other martial arts masters of internal energy in the Qingyuan Sect. Apart from the sect leader, who was a master of internal energy, the rest were all martial arts masters of external energy.

Those three martial arts masters were not to be trifled with; they were all seasoned veterans who had risen through the ranks.

Li Sui's actions during this period were observed by everyone.

Although Li Sui only gradually encroached upon territory and did not swallow up a large amount of land in one go, it served as a wake-up call for the other martial arts masters.

Now, Li Sui's sons are all quite successful.

The eldest son is now an Iron-Rank Constable of the Divine Arresting Gate, and he can be so arrogant. What if he becomes a Bronze-Rank Constable of the Divine Arresting Gate? Will they still have any room to survive in the Qingyuan Gate?

It was precisely because of these doubts that they joined forces to take action against Li Sui.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"After all, Pharmacist Wang is here to oversee things."

At this moment, Lin Zhou stepped forward and politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for making this trip, Pharmacist Lin."

"After paying the consultation fee, I took him to Pharmacist Lin's courtyard."

Li Suifeng said.

"Thank you, young master."

After saying this, Lin Zhou stepped out of the room.

"Pharmacist Lin, how is the sect leader's injury?"

Wang Quan asked anxiously from outside.

"It won't be life-threatening. With proper care, you'll recover sooner or later."

Lin Zhou glanced at Wang Quan from head to toe and said calmly.

"Pharmacist Lin, let me see you off!"

Wang Quan stepped forward to help Lin Zhou carry the medicine box.

"never mind."

"I can go back by myself."

Lin Zhou shook his head.

He had a feeling that something was off about Wang Quan.

Now that the fate of Sect Master Li Sui is unknown, how many people in this vast Li Mansion are truly sincere and determined to follow him? It's hard to say.

That's just human nature.

Especially in a chaotic martial arts world where the strong are respected, if Sect Master Li Sui falls, this mansion might be taken over by the Qingyuan Sect.

"Pharmacist Lin."

Wang Quan called out to Lin Zhou from behind, but Lin Zhou waved his hand and left without looking back.

They left the Li residence.

Lin Zhou frowned slightly as he walked down a street.

At that moment, he sensed a watchful gaze seemingly peering at him from the shadows.

And this gaze made Lin Zhou very uncomfortable.

After replacing the entry for enhanced sense of smell, Lin Zhou also smelled a woman's fragrance wafting from the direction of the prying gaze.

"The Nine Transformations of the Spirit Serpent."

At the corner, Lin Zhou immediately used his movement technique to fly forward through the streets and alleys.

Swish!

The prying gaze behind him also moved forward, and at a speed almost twice as fast as Lin Zhou's.

In the blink of an eye, the other person passed Lin Zhou and blocked his path.

A red blur flashed past Lin Zhou, followed by a woman dressed in elegant red. She had long, slender, fair legs, and her reddish eyes scrutinized Lin Zhou as she smiled and said, "Pharmacist Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a person of extraordinary talent!"

"To have discovered my whereabouts so easily."

"I heard that the bronze-ranking constable of the Divine Arrest Bureau wants you to join the Bureau!"

"What's so great about that lousy place? Why not join our Hundred Poisons Sect?!"
