After returning to the Healing Immortal Medical Hall, Lin Taichu first reported the situation at the exchange conference to the elders. The elders all approved of cooperating with other medical halls and told Lin Taichu to make the decision.
After discussing it with everyone, Lin Taichu decided to first establish cooperative relationships with several reputable medical halls, exchanging medicinal herbs and medical skills with one another.
After handling the medical hall's affairs, Lin Taichu asked the elders for leave, saying he wanted to check on his own herb garden and collect some medicinal herbs while he was there. The elders all knew that Lin Taichu had a private herb garden filled with many rare medicinal herbs, so they did not ask further and let him go.
Once inside the herb garden, Lin Taichu first inspected the growth of the various medicinal herbs. Seeing that most of them were flourishing, he nodded in satisfaction.

Inside were several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had kept in reserve: a Thousand-year Ginseng, a Nine-grade Lotus Platform, and a piece of warm jade. It had taken him many years to acquire these, and he was usually reluctant to use them.
Lin Taichu carefully packed away the three items. He knew the Netherworld Cult would not be easy to deal with. If a conflict broke out with them, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might prove useful.
