（Chapter 141）Storming the City Lord's Mansion

Lin Chen switched mounts and rushed back to Sevenheart City.

After putting away the pill, he pondered how to invite Lan Ao.

Firstly, he and Lan Ao were not acquainted.

Secondly, Lan Ao and Zhong Wen still shared some feelings.

Emotionally and rationally, he had no reason to help him.

If he wanted to invite him, he had to approach this matter from another angle.

For example, as Chu Hao had said before, Lan Ao had thought of many ways to help his only son stabilize his realm and improve his constitution.

However, he had yet to succeed.

If this Zenith Realm-Consolidating Pill could solve this problem, perhaps Lan Ao would be willing to take action.

However, even though the Zenith Realm-Consolidating Pill was said to be a tier-five pill, Lan Ao, as an expert of this realm, would definitely not lack such an item.

Thus, it was impossible to pin all one's hopes on this pill.

Lin Chen frowned and continued thinking.

"Tun Tun, you are the Ancient Immemorial Tree, the incarnation of all wood attributes. To a certain extent, wood attributes possess the ability to regenerate and heal. Do you have any techniques up your sleeve that can be used to treat him?"

Lin Chen suddenly asked, perhaps Tun Tun had a solution.

"Healing techniques?"

Tun Tun frowned. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head slightly. "Perhaps too little of my memory has been restored. I cannot find such a technique right now. However, if you want to treat him with wood attributes, I do have an alternative solution!"

"An alternative solution?"

A gleam of excitement flashed across Lin Chen's eyes.

"Remember how I gave you the 'Myriad Wood Sacred Body'? It is this sacred body that gave you an extraordinarily powerful constitution, even surpassing those who specialize in body tempering. This is a special type of sacred body!"

Tun Tun especially enjoyed eating spirit stones whenever he had to ponder something.

Each of those four-marked spirit stones was extremely precious, and it would take a long time for an ordinary cultivator to absorb its spiritual energy.

However, to Tun Tun, each bite was filled with a crunchy and crispy texture.

"So?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. What did these two matters have to do with each other?

"I can imitate this method and grant him a special sacred body. Of course, it will not be as formidable as the 'Myriad Wood Sacred Body', but it will still be quite impressive. However, this kind of thing is extremely strenuous. I'm afraid I'll have to consume a lot of spirit stones to recover!"

Tun Tun spoke each word distinctly.

He deliberately emphasized the last sentence as he was afraid that Lin Chen would suffer from selective hearing.

"Isn't it just spirit stones? The thing I have the most right now is spirit stones!"

Lin Chen grabbed Tun Tun excitedly and said, "Can the special sacred body you grant him heal the latent disease caused by the injury? Can it help him stabilize his realm?"

"Of course."

Tun Tun snorted coldly. "Otherwise, how could I be called the Ancient Immemorial Tree? Although my memories have been sealed, I do not know how majestic I was back then, but I can vaguely sense that my existence was capable of shaking the entire Jiutian Continent!"

"Alright, stop bragging."

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face. He cracked his horsewhip and continued to speed forward.

After hearing Tun Tun's words, he felt much more relaxed.

Of course, there was no way to say for sure until everything was settled.

If he wanted to invite Lan Ao, he still had to put forward his conditions first.

He cared deeply for his son. Today was his birthday. All those who came to pay their respects and congratulate him would definitely have put thought into this.

In short, they would definitely try their best to help Lan Ao treat his son.

If any of them succeeded, it would mean that Lan Ao owed them a favor.

This was a favor from the City Lord of Sevenheart City, a stage-five Heavenly Spirit Realm expert!

If someone helped Lan Ao cure his son before him, his plan would obviously fail.

Thus, he had to hurry!

He had to be quick!

…

…

Sevenheart City

The city was bustling with activity.

After all, it was City Lord Lan Ao's birthday.

Numerous factions had sent their representatives to celebrate Lan Ao's birthday.

In addition to celebrating his birthday, they also strived to offer various treasures to see if they could help Lan Ao's only son stabilize his realm and treat his latent illness.

After entering Sevenheart City, Lin Chen realized that this place was even more magnificent than Jade City.

The city gate alone was as tall as a ten-story building.

The main street was over a hundred meters wide.

There were shops on both sides of the street, filled with a constant flow of people.

Numerous luxurious carriages paraded on the main street, and the occupants of those carriages were all people of high status.

Their common goal was to go to the City Lord's Mansion to congratulate Lan Ao on his birthday.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion seemed like a city wall.

People in fine clothes and jewelry continuously alighted from their carriages and walked in, carrying birthday gifts.

"Hahaha, congratulations to City Lord Lan."

"May City Lord Lan's fortune be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and his life as long as the Southern Mountains!"

At this moment, Lin Chen noticed that when entering the mansion, many people would hand an invitation letter to the butler at the door.

Obviously, not everyone was qualified to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

'I don't have an invitation letter. I wonder if I can enter.'

Lin Chen frowned slightly. Since he had come, he had no choice but to enter.

"Sir, where is your invitation letter?"

Just as Lin Chen was about to follow the others and sneak in, the butler reached out and stopped him.

Lin Chen paused for a moment before smiling. "I do not have an 'invitation letter'. I am merely a casual cultivator passing by. Due to my admiration for the City Lord's noble character, I have come to celebrate his birthday. Thus, I would like to offer this gift!"

As he spoke, he prepared to take out the tier-five pill.

At the very least, this was a tier-five pill.

The butler should let him in out of courtesy, right?

However, the butler did not open the brocade box at all.

He said indifferently, "Forgive me, but without an 'invitation letter', entering the City Lord's Mansion is absolutely impossible. No exceptions. Your Excellency, please return!"

The butler straightened his back, looking pompous.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That smile was filled with disdain.

"Kid, I've seen many people like you. You try to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and seek shelter with some petty tricks. You don't have an invitation letter and want to enter to celebrate his birthday? To put it bluntly, with your lowly status, you're not even qualified to enter!"

Lin Chen could sense the malice in the other party's contemptuous smile and condescending tone.

He narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

Normally, with his fiery temper, he would have slapped the other party with his palm.

However, for his sister's sake, he maintained his composure.

"Sir, I am just a casual cultivator. I have no ill intentions. I simply admire the City Lord. This pill..."

Lin Chen opened the brocade box.

Presumably, the other party would let him in for the sake of the tier-five pill, right?

"Buzz!"

When the brocade box was opened, a brilliant light erupted, and the fragrance of the pill assaulted their nostrils.

Many people around him were invigorated and turned to look at him.
