Chapter 605: Nine Star Alchemy Conference

Soon, Lin Qi, who was lying in the rain, was beaten to a bloody mess by the iron rod, his head was broken, his legs were broken, and he looked much worse than when he just came out of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

It was not until Lin Qi was beaten to death and lay on the ground like a dead dog that Lin Wei announced with satisfaction that he would stop.

"This kid is no longer useful."

"With such serious injuries, he will definitely die within a few hours."

"We in the Lin family never keep useless people."

Lin Wei and several other Lin family members turned around and left with their guards, disappearing in the rain.

Lin Qi lay on the ground, completely silent, as if he was dead, and now he was just a corpse.

People came and went on the street, and people kept finding him, pointing and talking, and then passed by him indifferently.

After a long time.

Su Chen walked out of the rain and stopped beside Lin Qi, looking at Lin Qi lying motionless on the ground.

"He's still breathing, not dead yet."

Su Chen flipped his palm, took out a pill from the space ring, and stuffed it into Lin Qi's mouth.

Then, Su Chen turned around and told the guards he brought with him: "Carry him back to Rongxian Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes."

Several guards walked up, lifted Lin Qi up, and turned to walk towards Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

...

Three days later.

Su Chen walked into a room of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Qi, wrapped in white gauze, was lying on the bed, and Li Shitong was sitting next to him.

Seeing Su Chen coming in, Li Shitong stood up and said to Su Chen: "He's not in a good condition."

Su Chen heard this and looked at Lin Qi, only to see that Lin Qi's eyes were open at this moment, staring blankly at the ceiling, his eyes were extremely empty, just like a dead person.

"He has been like this for a long time since he woke up. Could it be a last gasp?"

Li Shitong guessed.

Su Chen shook his head and said, "For a talented warrior, the injury to the soul is often more difficult to heal than the injury to the body."

"What do you mean?" Li Shitong asked.

Su Chen said, "He was loyal to the Lin family and fought for the Lin family. In the end, the reward given by the Lin family was to beat him up and throw him on the street to die. Now his body has been revived by my elixir, but his heart is dead, which is equivalent to a living dead."

After hearing this, Li Shitong also looked at Lin Qi, and saw that there was indeed no light in Lin Qi's eyes. If he was not still breathing, he would really think he was a dead man.

"Not everyone will become like this when encountering similar things, but his personality should be very stubborn and sensitive, so he was treated like this by the Lin family, and he couldn't figure it out for a while and became like this."

Su Chen added.

"Then how should we save him?"

Li Shitong asked.

"There is no good way. We can only wait for him to untie his knot."

Su Chen said that he saved Lin Qi because of his extraordinary talent in swordsmanship. He didn't want such a young man who might achieve some success in swordsmanship to die.

As for the matter of subduing Lin Qi, it was just Su Chen's initial idea. When he saw that Lin Qi would rather die than be loyal to the Lin family, the idea in his mind was basically dispelled. He didn't like to do things that went against the wishes of others.

As for why Lin Qi was saved, it was just out of cherishing talent.

"Let him stay alone quietly."

Su Chen said.

Li Shitong nodded and walked out of the house with Su Chen.

The two came to the hall of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, and Xia Xuan and Xia Rongxian were also busy in the hall.

Su Chen motioned Li Shitong and the Xia family father and daughter to sit down and asked, "What new developments have there been recently?"

The three of them knew that Su Chen wanted to understand the situation inside and outside the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce in recent times.

At that moment, Li Shitong reported on the cultivation of everyone during Su Chen's retreat.

Su Chen heard that everyone's cultivation had improved, and nodded with satisfaction. The last month of retreat in the spiritual veins did benefit everyone a lot.

The Xia family father and daughter began to report on the recent business situation of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

Since the Lin family Sanhe Chamber of Commerce was defeated by Su Chen, the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce no longer had a strong competitor in the elixir market, and quickly occupied half of the imperial capital's elixir market.

As for why it did not occupy the entire market, it was because Su Chen had not yet brought out other types of new elixirs, and only the three new elixirs were sold on the market.

Su Chen also wanted to save some face for other colleagues. It was impossible for him to eat all the meat by himself and not even share the soup with others. In that case, the enemy of Su Chen would not only be the Lin family, but all other chambers of commerce in the imperial capital.
