The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Can we take this one step further in Chapter 1401?

"Ding!"

Lin Chen swung his sword again, slashing at another finger, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Lin Chen carefully compared the two and was pleasantly surprised to find a very fine crack on the untempered finger bone.

The crack was not obvious, but it indicated that the attack had exceeded the defensive limit of the finger bone.

It can block, but it will cause injury. However, the index finger bone that had been tempered was hit by the same blow, and there was not a crack, not even a scratch on the surface of the bone.

hard!
Lin Chen was very excited; it seemed to really work!
Since Lin Chen has embarked on the path of sword bones, he can only continue down this path, making his bones even harder, so hard that nothing can destroy them!
If bones can be tempered, can skin, flesh, and internal organs also be tempered?

If possible, would my skin darken and eventually become as black and shiny as a scorpion?
That's not very nice!

Using a stone tablet to refine one's sword bones doesn't require any special environment or pose any danger; one can even stop at any time. So Lin Chen decided to set off and use the time on the road to cultivate.

"Ji Ruxue, Yan Chusheng, you two will come with me."

"Si Defa, Yuanji, you two stay here. When you have nothing to do, go and chat with Fifth Uncle. If he needs anything, help him with it."

Lin Chen led Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng away from the White Crane Immortal Sect and went to the nearby Tianyu City.

Tianyu City is the imperial city of the Tianlan Dynasty. It is huge in scale and has a large population. The reason why Tianyu City was chosen as the imperial city is naturally because it is the closest to the Baihe Immortal Sect.

There are countless sects and dynasties on the Cloud Sky Continent. Small sects have influence over a few counties, while large sects like the White Crane Immortal Sect naturally serve as the backers of the dynasties.

The White Crane Immortal Sect usually does not interfere with the operation of mortal dynasties, but once a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect enters the mortal realm, he will inevitably receive the greatest courtesy and cooperation from the mortal forces.

The Tianyu Dynasty also pays tribute to the White Crane Immortal Sect every year. The tributes are all-encompassing, including rare and precious materials, materials for alchemy and weapon crafting, etc. This can be considered as the dynasty's protection fee.

Unwilling to pay?

It's alright, we can just replace the emperor with someone more obedient.

The White Crane Immortal Sect, high and mighty, didn't exert much pressure on the Tianyu Dynasty. After all, they mostly looked down on things from the mortal realm. As a result, the Tianyu Dynasty was very prosperous, with flying boats from all over the land arriving in Tianyu City in an endless stream, like a river of locusts, a scene of flourishing prosperity. Lin Chen planned to take a large flying boat from Tianyu City. These boats had many passengers and traveled relatively safe routes, making them safer. Renting a high-class cabin, which even had various formations inside, allowed for quiet cultivation, much more comfortable than traveling on foot.

Yan Chusheng exclaimed, "This city is so prosperous! There's no need to worry about attacks from demonic beasts. Apart from the palace, there's no need for any barriers anywhere else. The people here must be living such happy lives..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It is said that in the earliest days, there were also many demonic beasts in the Immortal Realm. Eventually, they were driven into areas where ordinary humans could not survive by generations of cultivators. If it weren't for the fact that demonic beasts also produce many raw materials needed by humans, those powerful immortals would probably have exterminated all the demonic beasts long ago."

Ji Ruxue observed the ordinary people on the street and smiled, "Look at their rosy complexions and bright clothes. It seems that even ordinary people can live well under the protection of immortals as long as they work hard. Compared to the cruel environment of the Wilderness Realm, this place is really like a fairyland."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There are also many powerful human beings in the Wilderness Realm. In fact, as long as they are of one mind, they can do the same. The key is whether they are willing to do it. After all, they are already high above, so how many of them would care about how ordinary people live?"

"When the Human Race Federation was established before, I proposed a plan to drive the demon beasts into the mountains. This plan was supported by many people, and they also formulated a corresponding plan to gradually promote it. However, whether it can truly succeed in the end depends on whether they can persevere and work hard from generation to generation."

The three chatted as they entered the city. They showed their White Crane Immortal Sect tokens at the city gate and were immediately allowed to pass. The squad leader even asked them if they needed a guide, giving Lin Chen a taste of the privileges of immortals in the mortal world.

The three of them chose a route, bought tickets, and then boarded the ship.

The room was soundproofed and very quiet. Lin Chen sat cross-legged, holding a black stone in his hand, quietly absorbing the special minerals within to refine his sword bones.

After a month's journey, the flying boat arrived at Black Map City, a border city of the Tianlan Dynasty.

Lin Chen had already received the notification, so he stopped cultivating, walked out of the house, stood at the bow of the ship, and looked down at the city.

After a month of uninterrupted training, Lin Chen completed the tempering of his entire right-hand sword bone. Each sword bone was jet black and shiny, like a piece of black alloy, indestructible.

Lin Chen was very satisfied!

The spaceship arrived, and the three left Black Map City, heading towards the border city of the Iron Lion Dynasty ahead.

The border order of the mortal realm has no jurisdiction over cultivators.

Just as the three crossed the border, a flying boat whizzed past from behind, and behind the flying boat, several golden lights streaked across the sky, chasing after them.
