Chapter 342 Immortal Fox Taihua
This group was quite large, and soon they had completely packed the city gate.

Of the three, Qin Shaoshao is naturally the most popular.

Many people are grateful to Qin Shaoshao for saving them.

Secondly, there's Lin Chen.

His reputation has long surpassed that of Ning Ye.

However, Ning Ye, as the head of the leading family in Nine Star City, also enjoys considerable prestige.

"Everyone, during my trip to Nancheng, I finalized the allocation for our Nine Star City with President Chen Ming. With the help of Divine Venerable Qin, our Nine Star City has made significant sacrifices in the midst of war, and the resources we can enjoy this time rank fourth," Ning Ye said.

Many people's pupils lit up when they heard that it was ranked fourth.

The South is vast, and Nine Star City is just a small city within it; many people in the South had never even heard of it before.

The resources available to us this time are actually among the top four.

"Lord Lin Chen also deserves credit and influence for this."

Ning Ye pointed at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled wryly upon hearing this, but he understood that Ning Ye was trying to build up his prestige.

"Lord Lin Chen has made great sacrifices in this war, even withstanding a single attack from the Nine-Nether Serpent, and single-handedly saving our Nine Star City," Ning Ye said.
"President Chen Ming said that Lin Chen will serve as the vice president of the Southern Monster Hunter Guild, and starting today, he will temporarily take over the position of President Li Zhen and lead us to rebuild our home."

After saying that, Ning Ye took the lead in clapping.

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy, some even shouting Lin Chen's name.

Lin Chen was a little unaccustomed to it, but he still clapped along.

Although he has been to many places and many forces have tried to win him over, he still has a special fondness for Nine Star City.

This is perhaps what people often refer to as a man's root being his birthplace, no matter how poor or dilapidated it may be.

After bidding farewell to the crowd and entering the city, the heads of powerful families like the Li family had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Lin Chen and Ning Ye returning together, they hurried forward.

"How about it?"

“We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far,” Li Gao, Li Zaiqing’s father, replied to Ning Ye as they walked.

"Not the entrance?"

"It shouldn't be the entrance."

Upon entering the makeshift city lord's mansion, one discovers that many familiar faces have arrived. These are the heads of various powerful families in Nine Star City, including the former city lord, Pang Yuanzheng.

As soon as they entered, Pang Yuanzheng respectfully invited Qin Shaoshao to sit in the main seat, but Qin Shaoshao was clearly not interested.

Pang Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed. If Young Master Qin didn't sit in the main seat, who would dare to?
At this moment, Ning Ye spoke up and said, "Why don't you take a seat, Chairman Lin?"

Many people nodded.

Qin Shaoshao only listens to Lin Chen, whose power is now great and whose potential is even more terrifying.

"Please don't flatter me, seniors," Lin Chen said. "If Nine Star City wants to develop, it must unite. So we shouldn't distinguish between high and low. It's fine as it is."

Everyone naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Chen's words.

After everyone sat down, Li Gao spoke first: "We'll keep the news about the ruins under wraps for now and won't let it out, but it's only a matter of time before it leaks."

"Have you found the entrance yet?" Ning Ye asked.

"Not yet," Li Gao said, his face pale.

"Wasn't there a blueprint at the auction?" Ning Ye said.

"The auction venue has been reduced to ruins due to the war, and the blueprints have been buried. They are still being excavated," Pang Yuanzheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Ye sighed and said, "This matter needs to be handled quickly. If other forces come, we won't even get a share."

Others nodded.

They were actually anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

After the meeting ended, Lin Chen followed Ning Ye to the area where the ruins were discovered.

The discovery was indeed not far from where Lin Chen lived, but it was still several kilometers away.

"I thought my parents, whom I've never met, really left me some incredible treasure." Lin Chen thought to himself, then gave a bitter laugh. It seemed he had been fantasizing too much; he didn't actually have any privileged background.

The gap in this ruin is a very sturdy spatial barrier.

They used this to determine that this place must be the legendary ruins of the mythical beast, the divine fox.

"It could be the legendary nine-tailed fairy fox."

After observing, Ning Ye said to Lin Chen, "Nine Star City has produced many super divine foxes, the most famous of which is the one named Taihua."

"Taihua?!"

Lin Chen was taken aback; he had never heard of this name before.

"It was one of the super celestial beasts at the end of the Primordial Era, and once fought against three celestial beasts with its own power," Ning Ye said. "It is said that its strongest ability is its flames."

"Purifying Fire?"

“No, its flames seem different; some call them the Taiyi True Fire,” Ning Ye said. “The ‘Tai’ in its name comes from this kind of flame.”

"Taiyi True Fire?" Lin Chen was a little confused, as he had never seen the name of this kind of flame in any book.

“This kind of fire is said to be a divine fire from heaven and earth, and it does not belong to the awakened type,” Ning Ye said. “Therefore, there are no records of it later.”

Lin Chen nodded.

“You must be tired from your long journey, so take a rest,” Ning Ye said. “I’ve already made arrangements for you.”

"Now that I'm here, I'd like to go home and take a look," Lin Chen said. "I just don't know if it's still there."

"Haha."

Ning Ye smiled, then gestured for Lin Chen to go first, saying that he would be notified if there was any news later.

After saying goodbye to Ningye, Lin Chen hurried home, only to find a pleasant surprise waiting for him.

"Little White, come out quickly."

Lin Chen summoned Xiaobai and the others, and when they appeared, his eyes lit up.

What appeared before them was Lin Chen's old, dilapidated home.

This place miraculously escaped disaster, but now it's overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state.

But Lin Chen, Xiao Bai, and the little fox were all extremely happy; for them, this was where their dream began.

Great polar bears also lived here, but for a short time, and they didn't feel the same way about it as the others.

As for the little blue fish, it looked completely bewildered, wondering if people could live in this place.
"Get to work," Lin Chen clapped his hands.

Immediately, the three spirit beasts began pulling weeds and cutting wood. The little blue fish tried to slack off, but Lin Chen caught it.

"You can skip everything else, but you can't skip the house-building part." Lin Chen directly assigned it the transportation task.

This little blue fish is quite obedient. Although it is usually lazy, it will listen to what Lin Chen and Xiao Bai say.

They just rarely use it on ordinary days.

This work takes a whole day, and by the time night falls, Lin Chen's dilapidated home is once again shining brightly.

"I'll make do for one night," Lin Chen said.

"Moo!"

Little White and Little Fox were both very happy.

No matter how dilapidated their home is, it is still their home.

He fell into a deep sleep, and the next day, Lin Chen was groggily woken up by Xiao Bai, only to find out that Ning Ye had arrived.

"The blueprints have been found."

Ning Ye smiled and said, "Good news, we're lucky. We found the blueprints, and they're intact."

"What's the bad news?" Lin Chen knew there was more to come.

“The bad news is,” Ning Ye’s smile immediately froze, “the blueprints are incomplete.”
