The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1487 Don't want to stay, or can't bear to leave?
Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the stone bed, holding the inner core of the Flame Dragon Ghost Bat in his hands. The incomparably pure energy surged into Lin Chen's body like a vast river.

Lin Chen was overjoyed; this was incredibly pure!

This cultivation speed is truly remarkable; one day of such cultivation is probably equivalent to a year of arduous training!
Lin Chen never expected that even while incubating eggs here, monsters would come knocking on his door.

Although there were some dangers and setbacks along the way, the final result was good.

made money!

In the days that followed, Lin Chen devoted himself to cultivating with the inner core, making rapid progress every day.

The period of frantic improvement lasted for two months. The inner core that Lin Chen held in his hands kept shrinking in size until it finally turned into a clump of dull fragments that fell to the ground.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, and after a long while, slowly opened his eyes.

His aura was much stronger than before, which showed that his hard work during this period had greatly improved his strength. However, even so, he still had not yet broken through to the late stage of the Human Immortal realm.

Advancing to the level of an immortal is indeed very difficult!

Even the inner core of a top-tier demon beast cannot raise one's cultivation level by even one small realm. However, upon closer examination, this is quite normal, since it is only an inner core, and cultivation and absorption can only convert a portion of it.

If a top-tier demon beast's inner core could allow an immortal to directly leapfrog a minor realm, then immortals would probably have already wiped out all demon beasts with inner cores.

Lin Chen walked out of his bedroom, where Fairy Ziyun was standing in front of the giant egg, lost in thought.

Lin Chen walked over. Even though he was already a human immortal, the violent and muffled heartbeat inside the giant egg still made his heart beat faster uncontrollably, giving him a feeling of his blood surging.

I feel even stronger than I did two months ago!

Even a fledgling bird that hasn't hatched yet possesses such power in its heartbeat; just imagine how powerful it will be once it hatches and grows up.
"how was it?"

"It will be soon, at most half a month, which is faster than expected."

Lin Chen said excitedly, "With such a strong heartbeat, it's likely to be very powerful once it hatches!"

"Starting as a human immortal."

Fairy Ziyun replied calmly, "Species like the Golden-Winged Roc have no bottlenecks in advancement, nor are there any obvious distinctions in realm. In short, the more they grow, the stronger they become. When they reach adulthood, they reach their peak strength, comparable to a peak Celestial Immortal. There are even legends that some species can become terrifying beings comparable to a Great Luo Immortal."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Although they are very powerful, their growth period must be quite long."

"It depends on how you interpret it."

Fairy Ziyun replied, "If you look at it from the perspective of an ordinary person, their growth cycle is indeed quite long, but for immortals, it is not considered long. After all, it is normal for an immortal to take several thousand years or even tens of thousands of years to grow from a human immortal to the peak of a celestial immortal." Speaking of the Golden-Winged Roc, Lin Chen thought of the three demons he raised in the Wilderness Realm.

Snow Dragon Leopard King, Bifang, Vine Demon Plum Girl.

They followed Lin Chen when he first entered the Wilderness Realm, growing alongside him and helping him in many battles. However, their strength was ultimately limited, preventing them from following him to the Immortal Realm. Now, they live with their families in the Wilderness Realm, protecting them and waiting for their cultivation to be perfected before attempting ascension.

"I used to have three demons by my side..."

Fairy Ziyun glanced at Lin Chen and calmly asked, "How do you feel?"

"They are great. They are my companions and have helped me a lot. However, when I ascended to the Immortal Realm, their strength was not enough and they still needed a lot of time. Moreover, there were restrictions based on bloodline and race. I don't know if I will be able to meet them in the Immortal Realm in the future."

Fairy Ziyun hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

The two stood there by the giant egg, lost in thought. After a long while, Lin Chen suddenly asked, "Fairy, if you successfully advance and become a Great Luo Immortal, will you leave this Immortal Realm?"

Fairy Ziyun replied, "Perhaps, isn't your master the same?"

Lin Chen nodded. People strive to rise higher, just as water flows downhill. This is just like himself. Now that he has become a human immortal, can he still return to the human world and live the ordinary life he used to live?
Walking on uncharted paths, seeing unseen sights, and constantly climbing to new heights—this is the mindset of a normal person.

Although there are occasionally some content and happy reclusive tycoons in the world, such people are ultimately only a minority.

What is the end of the path to immortality?
Which cultivator wouldn't be curious?

"After refining the Nine-Turn Great Luo Pill, how long do you think it will take to break through?"

Fairy Ziyun was silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"what?"

Lin Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at Fairy Ziyun's beautiful profile: "I just wanted to ask..."

Fairy Ziyun turned her head, stared into Lin Chen's eyes, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you calculating how much longer you can stay with me?"

Uh……

Lin Chen had to admit that he did have this idea, but now that Fairy Ziyun had brought it up herself, the matter had become a little awkward.

Fairy Ziyun continued, "Is it that you don't want to stay, or that you can't bear to leave?"
