Three days later, Su Chen and his companions arrived at a planet called Moon-Eclipsing Star in their ark. This planet was controlled by the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty. Speaking of the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty, Su Chen had a vague impression of their crown prince, whose name seemed to be Zhu Xiaoque. Back then, he went to the Su Household to propose marriage to Su Jianxi, but the proposal ultimately failed because of Su Chen.
Su Chen bought a courtyard in the largest city on Moon-Eclipsing Star. He planned to live there for a while, mainly to take care of Jianxin. After all, Jianxin's body had not yet recovered, and if he encountered danger, he would have no ability to protect himself. As his master, he naturally could not leave him to fend for himself.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lin Fan found Su Chen and bid farewell to Jianxin and Hu Xiaotian. Su Chen, in order to put pressure on him, deliberately said that Jianxin's soul could not last for more than a few years and that they had to find the Divine Spirit Flower as soon as possible, otherwise Jianxin would still be in danger of death.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was extremely anxious. His injuries had not yet fully healed, but he was already preparing to head to the Forbidden Land of Death. He knew that there was no more time left for him. He had witnessed Su Chen's demise with his own eyes, and he could not allow his only junior brother to leave him again.
"Senior brother, you must be careful and don't get into any trouble. If you die in the Forbidden Land of Death, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life," Jianxin instructed.
"Don't worry, I'm incredibly lucky. This Forbidden Land of Death can't threaten my life," Lin Fan said with absolute confidence.
Jianxin remained silent, his hands clenched into fists at his sleeves, his heart filled with guilt and self-reproach. What forbidden area wasn't dangerous? Lin Fan had only said that to avoid worrying him.
In the past few days, he had tried to persuade Lin Fan several times not to Forbidden Land of Death, since that place must be extremely dangerous to be called a forbidden land. However, Lin Fan simply wouldn't listen and insisted on going. In the end, Jianxin had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him and instead told Lin Fan to be extra careful.
"I'll go with you, at least we can look out for each other," Hu Xiaotian said, jumping onto Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, reached out and patted Hu Xiaotian's head, then shook his head and said, "This trip is too dangerous. I can go alone. Besides, Jianxin's strength has not yet recovered, so he needs you to take care of him."
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaotian nodded with a gloomy expression, then leaped up from Lin Fan's shoulder and finally landed on Jianxin's head.
Lin Fan then looked at Su Chen beside him, his expression immediately becoming serious. He bowed respectfully to Su Chen, " Brother Chen, thank you so much for saving me back then. And now you are still willing to wait for me here. This immense kindness will never be forgotten by Jianxin, Xiaotian, and me!"
"I saved you not out of a saintly heart, but because I need you to do things for me in the future," Su Chen said with a faint smile. He said this simply to make everything seem reasonable.
"No problem!" Lin Fan and Jianxin nodded simultaneously. They had been puzzled before: why would Su Chen save them? And why would he willingly stay on Moon-Eclipsing Star, waiting for Lin Fan to return? Lin Fan might not return for several years this time; why would Su Chen be willing to spend so much time waiting for him? Was it really just because of his kindness? But even kindness wouldn't be this kind of kindness, would it?
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Fan and Jianxin's doubts were finally resolved. In fact, they had guessed that Su Chen might need their help, since there was no such thing as unearned kindness in the cruel world of cultivation.
Lin Fan didn't hesitate any longer, said goodbye, and was about to leave when Su Chen called out to him. Lin Fan looked at Su Chen in confusion and asked, " Brother Chen, is there anything else?"
"Are you really going to the Forbidden Land of Death like this?" Su Chen asked.
"Yes," Lin Fan nodded.
"Do you know how far the Forbidden Land of Death is from here? With your current strength, it would take you at least several hundred years to get there, and a round trip would probably take over a thousand years. Do you think your junior brother can afford to wait that long?" Su Chen said.
"This..." Lin Fan felt a headache coming on when he heard this. He had only thought about Forbidden Land of Death as soon as possible to find the Divine Spirit Flower, but he had forgotten the most important thing: distance.
"Here you go." Su Chen tossed out a shrunken ark.
Lin Fan subconsciously took it, glanced at the ark in his hand, and was stunned for a moment before looking at Su Chen. However, Su Chen waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, go and come back quickly."
Seeing this, Lin Fan was deeply moved and quickly bowed, "Thank you Brother Chen!"
Without further ado, he charged out of the Moon-Eclipsing Star, then raised his hand and threw out the ark in his hand. The ark quickly grew to a size of a thousand feet. This was a high-level ark. With this high-level ark, Lin Fan would only need about a year to withstand the Forbidden Land of Death.
Su Chen had done him a great favor, and Lin Fan held Su Chen in even higher esteem. He vowed that if he ever became a top expert, he would never forget Su Chen's kindness and would repay him a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
Jianxin and Hu Xiaotian shared the same sentiment. They had witnessed Su Chen's actions and were deeply moved. Just as they were about to express their gratitude, Su Chen shook his head and said, "No need for thanks. I only hope that you can truly help me in the future."
"Whatever Brother Chen asks us to do in the future, as long as it doesn't violate our principles or bottom line, my senior brother, Xiaotian, and I will do our best to help you," Jianxin Brother Chen said earnestly.
"I don't like people making empty promises," Su Chen said with a faint smile, then walked straight back to the courtyard.
A month has passed since Lin Fan set off. During this time, Su Chen, in order to find something to do, built a clinic to treat people's illnesses and injuries. As for why he can treat illnesses and injuries, it is naturally because of the help of the system. He directly had the system transmit to him all the knowledge about medical skills. It can be said that Su Chen's medical skills have now surpassed the level of the Medical Saint!
However, this clinic was located in a rather remote area, with only a few scattered people on the street and a low flow of people. Therefore, even though his medical skills surpassed those of the Medical Sage, the clinic had not had any business for the past month.
Since no one knows that someone actually runs a clinic here, how can there be any business?
This suited Su Chen perfectly. He didn't like having too many patients at his clinic, otherwise he would be exhausted. He only needed a few patients each month, focusing on letting things happen naturally.
As for Jianxin, due to his physical condition, he is currently unable to cultivate. Seeing that Su Chen had opened a clinic, and since he had nothing else to do, he volunteered to help out at the clinic.
