The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1471 At such an advanced age, does he still think he's a young ghost?
Alchemists can make a lot of money. As long as you are diligent, you can earn spirit stones just by opening the furnace. However, to become a top alchemist, the amount of spirit stones required is astronomical.

Most alchemists learn new pill formulas while using the formulas they are proficient in to refine pills for others to earn spirit stones, then learn new formulas, buy medicinal materials, and practice repeatedly.

A diligent alchemist who strives to improve his skills will likely remain impoverished for a long time.

Refining low-level pills might only cost one or two spirit stones, but high-level pills could cost hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of spirit stones. How long would it take to earn enough to cover the cost of one batch of high-level pills?
"boom"

Furnace explosion!

All that hard work for a whole year, and it all comes back to square one.

Alchemy is an eternal pursuit; one pill and you'll go bankrupt!

Lin Chen didn't necessarily need to learn alchemy himself, but he felt that having more skills was never a bad thing. After all, the path to immortality was boundless and time was long, so learning more was always a good thing.

For extremely precious and highly confidential pills like the Nine-Turn Great Luo Pill, it's most reliable to refine them yourself. Moreover, once you learn how to refine pills, you can refine any celestial medicine or rare treasures you obtain at any time, without having to ask anyone else for help.

As the two were traveling, a flying shuttle suddenly caught up from behind.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw a middle-aged man. The man looked at the two of them with a disdainful expression, then flew past them and sped away.

Lin Chen turned his head: "Fairy, did you see that? Is he looking down on us?"

Fairy Ziyun glanced at Lin Chen: "Feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "No, it's just a bit strange. At this age, do they think they're some kind of young ghost?"

Fairy Ziyun asked curiously, "What is a 'ghost fire boy'?"

Lin Chen explained with a smile: "Some young people like to drive motorcycles, race, show off their driving skills, and compete in speed, and they are proud of it. In fact, they are very annoying."

Fairy Ziyun smiled and said, "You have a good attitude."

Lin Chen shrugged: "With my strength, I have to keep a low profile. If I chase after someone and fight them, only to get beaten up myself, that would be truly embarrassing."

Fairy Ziyun raised an eyebrow and placed her hand on the flying boat's control panel with great interest, channeling her immortal energy into it.

"Let's go, let's beat him up!"

The speed of the flying boat suddenly increased dramatically, more than twice as fast as before, turning into a streak of light and quickly chasing after it.

Soon, Lin Chen spotted the flying shuttle from before.

The distance was rapidly closing. The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at the other shuttle. His shuttle speed had also increased, but it was still not as fast as the two shuttles. The distance was rapidly closing.

The middle-aged man darted around a bend, heading towards the middle of a mountain range, seemingly realizing he was being targeted and trying to avoid trouble. Fairy Ziyun sneered, "Is it too late to escape now?"

The shuttle nimbly turned a corner and continued its pursuit.

The airship flew past the side of the mountain, but the airship in front of them was already hovering in mid-air. The middle-aged man was staring at the two of them with a smug look in his eyes, his expression like that of a hunter looking at his prey.

"Something's wrong!"

Lin Chen frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems he deliberately lured us here..."

Fairy Ziyun said calmly, "I can tell. We've only been out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines for a short time, and they've already caught up with us. It must be reinforcements that the Green Willow Sect brought."

Lin Chen asked, "Something's definitely fishy here. Should we retreat first?"

"Can't leave."

Ziyun Fairy's eyes flashed with divine light. She glanced around and said calmly, "We've entered the formation."

"Good taste!"

The middle-aged man coldly shouted, "Rise!"

With the shout, flags fluttered among the surrounding peaks, sword energy soared into the sky, and white mist filled the heavens and earth. Lin Chen's vision instantly turned into a white blur, just like when he was on the Silent Sea Mist Island, where he could only see very close distances.

Lin Chen didn't panic, after all, he had a top expert by his side.

Lin Chen asked, "Are you an accomplice of Lu Ze'an of the Green Willow Sect?"

The middle-aged man gave a cold laugh and uttered four words: "Azure Lotus Fire Spring".

Lin Chen suddenly realized and raised his voice, "Judging from your posture, you are obviously much stronger than Lu Ze'an. Yan Xingwen was ambushed outside and almost died. Lu Ze'an obviously doesn't have that kind of strength. So you must have been the one who made the move."

The middle-aged man sneered: "If he hadn't had a decent escape tool, he would have died at my hands long ago. There wouldn't have been any of this later. I asked Lu Ze'an to help me get the Azure Lotus Fire Spring back, but you guys had to interfere. So don't blame me for being ruthless towards you."

Lin Chen casually asked, "Looks like we're doomed. Why don't you give us your names so we can die knowing why?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly: "Testing my identity? You are already trapped in my Immortal-Slaying Formation, there is no escape for gods or ghosts. Telling you is fine, I am Zhu Binhui, the Supreme Elder of the Haotian Sect..."

Lin Chen was stunned. This guy was actually from the Haotian Sect!
The Haotian Sect and the White Crane Immortal Sect had many conflicts. Previously, Wu Ying, a peak True Immortal, had even tried to kill him, but he ended up killing her instead. This incident later caused quite a stir.

Did we bump into each other here again today?
