Both women were very satisfied with the magical treasures they possessed.

Houtu said, "You can refine the spiritual treasures yourselves at your own pace. Wherever you wish to go, I will send you there."

My second thought was that going directly to Daxing City would be too goal-oriented.

So he said, "Why don't we go to Xiuning's side? That way we can protect her."

Houtu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright!"

Dugu Meng's mind also caught on, and she said in the group: Second Dream, you're here.

Second dream: If I directly say that I want to go to Daxing City, the Empress will definitely see through something.

Lin Zhu: If you're not coming directly to Daxing City, where do you plan to go?

Second dream: Go to Xiuning's place.

Li Xiuning: My two sisters are still the best to me.

Inviting the Moon: Let's go straight to Daxing City. Now we're just waiting for Xiaomeng to join us.

Xiaomeng: I might need to bring someone with me.

Xiaoxue: Who is it?

Xiaomeng: Jingwei.

Qing'er: Another kid! *smirks* (JPG) Take him along!

Xiaomeng: Little Bamboo, you don't have any objections, do you?

Lin Zhu: What opinion could I possibly have? Anyway, I know Jingwei.

Zhao Min: Who is Jingwei?

Qing'er: She is a senior figure who has lived for countless eras. She is a person from ancient times and the daughter of Emperor Yan Shennong.

Zhao Min: Then Sister Qing'er, you still say she's a child.

Lin Zhu: Sister Qing'er is right, Jingwei is just a child.

Wu Xingyun: A child who has lived for dozens of eras? Doesn't she want to grow up?

Xiaomeng: Of course I want to! I only started thinking about it recently. Unfortunately, Master and Emperor Shennong both went to Chaos, so Jingwei can't get the elixir, and that's all we can do. I thought I'd bring her out to relax.

Inviting the Moon: Didn't the Bluebird come?

Xiaomeng: Senior Sister Qingniao still has to manage West Kunlun.

In Daxing City, Lin Zhu waited until the group chat gradually quieted down before going down to open the shop.

It was noon, the time when people were having lunch.

Not far away, a group of shadow guards who had been watching Lin Zhu's shop were overjoyed. After guarding it for almost a year, he had finally opened the door.

Then several figures disappeared without a sound.

Lin Zhu had already noticed these people, but he didn't care. He had never intended to hide himself, so there was no need to pay attention to these spies, since they couldn't see into his shop anyway.

In the palace, Yang Jian was already sensing that something was wrong with his body.

Then there's Empress Dugu Jialuo, who has been feeling rather listless these past few days.

Upon hearing from his guards that Lin Zhu's pill shop had opened, he didn't bother to call Yu Juluo and instead led a group of imperial guards to the front of Lin Zhu's pill shop.

"Is this Mr. Lin Zhulin in the shop?" Although Yang Jian had arrived in a hurry, he did not lack any manners.

Lin Zhu could tell at a glance that this person possessed great fortune, just like when he saw Ying Zheng back then.

He immediately revealed Yang Jian's identity, "Lin Zhu, a recluse, greets Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty, please come in."

"Thank you, sir." Yang Jian had one of the imperial guards wait at the shop entrance and went inside alone.

Lin Zhu roughly understood Yang Jian's intentions: his wife's situation was not good, and Dugu Jialuo's days were probably numbered.

But he still asked knowingly, "Your Majesty would not come here without a reason. If there is something you need, please speak plainly."

Yang Jian said, "Sir, your wisdom is truly remarkable. I would like to invite you to the palace to examine my Empress. She has been unwell recently, and even the imperial physicians are at a loss."

Lin Zhu turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial city, where the divine dragon of the Sui Dynasty's destiny was looking at him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I am unable to enter the palace. If possible, I would like to ask Your Majesty the Empress to go elsewhere."

He did not refuse Yang Jian's request for treatment, but whether he could be cured was uncertain.

Yang Jian asked, "Why is that?"

Lin Zhu said, "I am a person outside the secular world."

Yang Jian immediately expressed his understanding, saying, "Is the Crown Prince's residence feasible? It is not located within the palace."

Lin Zhu had never met Yang Guang before, and whether in the Divine Continent or the Pangu Realm, he was quite curious about him, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

"I will make the arrangements immediately, and then I will take my leave." Yang Jian held great hope in his heart.

Lin Zhu watched him leave.

The next day, Yang Jian personally came to invite Lin Zhu, this time arriving by carriage.

"Please come up, sir."

Fortunately, it wasn't the emperor's exclusive carriage; it was just a little more luxurious and didn't have much of an aura of good fortune. Otherwise, Lin Zhu really wouldn't have felt comfortable sitting in it.

After Lin Zhu got into the carriage, Yang Jian ordered his men to hurry to the Crown Prince's residence.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence, Yang Guang and Hua Nongying waited. "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

"No need." Yang Jian quickly raised his hand, then said to Lin Zhu, "Mr. Lin, please. My Empress is in the mansion."

Yang Guang and Hua Nongying both knew that Lin Zhu was coming, and they looked over curiously, but all they saw was a face wearing a mask.

But both of them thought Lin Zhu's eyes were very beautiful.

Yang Guang even had the idea of ​​gouging out Lin Zhu's eyes and pressing them into his own eye sockets.

Lin Zhu also looked at the two of them. Yang Guang gave him a somewhat familiar feeling, and he couldn't help but recall a saying: "Those who gave me life are unacceptable, those I gave life for are unacceptable, but all others are acceptable."

Fortunately, there was another sentence before that: "Women are to this king."

Otherwise, he would be an extremely dangerous person.

He was somewhat familiar with Hua Nongying's aura; it wasn't Xiao Meiniang, but rather seemed to resemble Lu Bu's concubine.

'What's wrong with this woman? Was she born with such good fortune?'

Chapter 903 The Intelligent Dugu Jialuo

After only a brief glance, Lin Zhu was soon led to a room by Yang Jian himself.

This is the master bedroom of the Crown Prince's residence, which has now been requisitioned by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo.

At this time, Dugu Jialuo had been ill for more than half a month.

She's in her fifties, but looks like she's in her forties. She's very well-maintained and is quite a beautiful woman.

Lin Zhu glanced at her and knew that Dugu Jialuo was slightly eroded by luck because she was in power with Yang Jian, but her own destiny was not strong enough, and now she was beyond medical help.

Dugu Jialuo leaned against Yang Jian and sat up halfway. "Are you Mr. Lin?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lin Zhu cupped his hands in greeting.

"Sir, you are too kind. Please forgive me, I am unwell and unable to return the courtesy." Dugu Jialuo spoke without much difficulty, but her whole body felt weak.

Lin Zhu had a favorable impression of Empress Dugu Jialuo.

She and Yang Jian were deeply in love, and together they formulated many policies that benefited the people of the Sui Dynasty.

Because of the abundance of resources in the Pangu Realm, frugality was not a big thing for her.

"Your Majesty is too kind." Lin Zhu nodded.

Dugu Jialuo asked, "Would you like to have your pulse taken, sir?"

Lin Zhu shook his head, "There's no need to take her pulse; I can tell the Empress's condition at a glance."

Yang Jian quickly asked, "What is the reason for this?"

Lin Zhu sighed and said, "My time has come."

Yang Jian was struck dumb, and even Yang Guang, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment.

Dugu Jialuo, however, was somewhat prepared and forced a smile as she said, "Actually, I had already anticipated this; what was bound to happen eventually did."

Yang Jian was somewhat anxious and asked, "Sir, do you have a method to prolong life?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhu said, "If the Empress regularly consumes mild, low-grade spiritual fruits, she can remain free from illness and pain for a year, and after that..."

He didn't say anything more.

Yang Jian knew what would happen a year from now, but his immediate priority was to relieve Dugu Jialuo's suffering, so he asked, "Are there any low-grade acquired spiritual fruits in the Longevity Zone?"

Lin Zhu nodded, "I don't know about other places, but Zhongbao Trading Company definitely has it."

Yang Guang hurriedly said, "Father, I will immediately order someone to exchange it."

"Hurry, go yourself." Only now did Yang Jian realize that he and Dugu Jialuo only had a year left to spend together, and he was overcome with grief.

In fact, he himself only had three years to live.

Yang Guang dared not delay and immediately went out. After thinking for a moment, he turned back and asked, "Sir, do you really have no way to prolong life?"

Lin Zhu shook his head. "Back then, Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also asked me this question, but if I didn't answer, I didn't answer."

This statement piqued the curiosity of Yang Jian and Yang Guang.

But this was not the time to satisfy curiosity. Yang Jian angrily rebuked Yang Guang, "Why aren't you going yet?"

Yang Guang took off running, shouting loudly outside, "Go, collect rare and precious materials, and come with me to the Longevity Zone."

As the Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang was an unpopular figure in the Longevity Zone. The Sui Dynasty's fortune he carried would oppress every cultivator in the Longevity Zone.

Seeing that Yang Guang had left, Lin Zhu cupped his hands to Yang Jian and said, "The matter is settled, so I will take my leave now."

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment." Dugu Jialuo said, "This old woman has a question, and I would like to ask you to answer it."

Lin Zhu looked at her and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."
