"Let's first see how to use this Li Huo Bracelet."
After recognizing the Li Huo Bracelet as his own, Lin Chen immediately merged his spiritual consciousness into it.
Previously, Wu Tie's single move, Flaming Mountain's Might, could push him to such a state. How formidable would his other, more powerful techniques be?
Upon entering the Li Huo Bracelet with his spiritual consciousness, Zhao Heng immediately saw the incantations for three techniques within the bracelet.
The first move was the one Wu Tie had used earlier, Flaming Mountain's Might, which roughly involved releasing li huo to form a wall of fire.
It could be used for offense or defense.
As for the second move, named Li Huo Arrow, Lin Chen vaguely guessed it was a long-range attack method similar to the Spirit Sword Art.
As for the third move, it was called Li Huo Fills the Sky.
Just from the name alone, Lin Chen could tell that the power of this third move was absolutely incomparable to the first and second moves!
Over the next few days, Zhao Heng honestly stayed within the space of the Nine Dragon Ring, thoroughly refining the Li Huo Bracelet.
He mastered all three Li Huo techniques that came with the bracelet.
Only after mastering everything did Zhao Heng emerge from the Nine Dragon Ring.
Several days had passed in the Nine Dragon Ring, but only a few hours had actually passed in the outside world, not delaying anything at all.
It was now around eight or nine in the morning, and the sunlight in the courtyard felt warm and very comfortable.
"Lin Chen, you're out of seclusion!"
As soon as Lin Chen emerged from the Nine Dragon Ring, Zhang Ying came to his side with a beaming smile.
"Huh? Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just say it directly?"
Seeing Zhang Ying's ingratiating look, Lin Chen knew that she must have something she needed his help with!
Although his senior sister had always maintained a pure and adorable image, this pleading look was rare!
"Someone outside said that Beichuan is the most prosperous city in the entire Southwest, with the most prosperous shopping mall. I wanted to go see it."
"But Miss Long needs to prepare for the Southwest Grand Competition, and I don't know anyone else, so I can only ask you to accompany me."
Zhang Ying pouted and said to Lin Chen.
As a young girl, and having been imprisoned for so long before, now that she had finally escaped, she naturally wanted to enjoy life, right?
"Alright, since I have free time today, let's go together."
Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Lin Chen, though a little helpless, nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the Li Huo Bracelet had already been refined, and only the Lu Yun Boots were still in the Nine Dragon Ring, unrefined.
But it was still afternoon, even if he accompanied his senior sister to go shopping, he could still return in the evening and enter the Nine Dragon Ring to refine them, right?
"Junior Brother, I knew you were the best!"
Seeing that Lin Chen had actually agreed, Zhang Ying became extremely excited and threw herself into Lin Chen's arms.
She had initially thought that Lin Chen would also need to prepare for the Southwest Grand Competition in a couple of days, but she hadn't expected that he would still be willing to go out shopping with her.
"Let's go, we'll just buy a couple of outfits and come back."
As she spoke, Zhang Ying directly pulled Lin Chen's hand and walked out.
At the same time, in the southern suburbs of Beichuan, outside a villa.
"Oh my, Master Zhou, I've finally been waiting for you!"
At the entrance of the villa, a middle-aged man in a Tang suit said excitedly to Zhou Qianyuan, who had just gotten out of the car.
"Patriarch Chu is too polite. Since I've already agreed to treat your daughter, I will not go back on my word!"
Zhou Qianyuan was clearly not in good spirits, and his voice lacked strength.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Zhou's reputation is well-known throughout the entire Southwest!"
Hearing Zhou Qianyuan's words, the Chu family patriarch was still very excited.
Half a month ago, his daughter had inexplicably fallen ill, and doctors had predicted that she would live for at most half a year.
He had searched all the renowned doctors in Beichuan, but none of them could do anything.
Finally, through the recommendation of an old friend, he obtained Zhou Qianyuan's contact information.
"Master Zhou, please come in!"
Chu He, the patriarch of the Chu family, smiled ingratiatingly and personally welcomed Zhou Qianyuan and Zhou Hao into the villa's living room.
"Master Zhou, please wait a moment, I'll have someone make tea to welcome you!"
As soon as he entered the living room, Chu He said to Zhou Qianyuan.
In his opinion, a doctor of Zhou Qianyuan's caliber definitely had to be treated with proper etiquette!
Although he was not a cultivator, he also knew that Zhou Qianyuan was an honored guest of the Sun family in Beichuan. It was a great fortune to have someone like him condescend to come here.
If he didn't serve this great buddha well and offended him, not only would his daughter's illness be untreatable, but he might also bring great trouble upon himself!
"Patriarch Chu, where is the patient? Let's see the patient first."
However, to Chu He's surprise, Zhou Qianyuan directly refused him.
"Ah? Master Zhou, your friend told me that you love Huangshan Maofeng the most, and I've already prepared some for you."
Hearing Zhou Qianyuan's words, Chu He was clearly somewhat surprised.
Earlier, when his old friend called, he had repeatedly instructed that this Master Zhou was truly learned but also very arrogant.
To ask him to act, besides the consultation fee, one also had to serve good tea.
Otherwise, it would displease Master Zhou!
But he hadn't expected that even though he had made all the preparations, the other party would refuse to drink it now?
"What? Patriarch Chu didn't hear what I said?"
To Chu He's even greater surprise, Zhou Qianyuan's already somber face instantly fell.
"No, no, no, Master Zhou, you've misunderstood. I'll take you to see the patient right away!"
Chu He swallowed and quickly led Zhou Qianyuan to his daughter's bedroom.
When he reached the bedroom door, he found that his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Master Zhou, we're here. This is my daughter, Chu Lian."
Chu He quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pointed to a little girl lying on the bed in the bedroom.
He couldn't understand, this Master Zhou was clearly a doctor, so why did he emit such powerful killing intent for a moment just now?
In that instant, he felt as if he were being stared at by an army of thousands, and he didn't dare to refute Master Zhou's words!
However, it was precisely because of this that he was even more convinced that this Master Zhou was definitely a capable person!
He would definitely be able to cure his daughter's illness!
"Huh? This is... cold poison entering the body?"
As soon as he saw Chu Lian, Zhou Qianyuan's eyes instinctively narrowed.
The woman was bone-chillingly cold all over. Even standing at the bedroom door, seven or eight meters away from her, he could still feel the piercing chill emanating from her body.
