The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1490 Pill King
Black-spined Python!
Lin Chen had seen this giant python before, and even killed it with his own hands; its strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

It was still alive, but being held by the young Xiao Jin, it had absolutely no ability to resist, just like a bird holding a small insect.

Little Gold landed on a nearby mountain peak with the Black-Armored Bone-Spiked Python in its beak. After landing, the Black-Armored Bone-Spiked Python struggled and tried to entangle Little Gold, but Little Gold simply pecked it with its beak.

The head of the Black Armored Bone Spike Python, which was hard enough to withstand flying swords, was pierced directly, leaving a huge hole.

The Black Armored Bone Spike Python's body went limp, like a boneless worm. Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel at how strong Xiao Jin's talent and bloodline were.

Back then, he was covered in wounds and almost destroyed the entire canyon before he finally killed that black-armored bone-spiked python. But for Xiao Jin, it was just a light peck.

Soon, the black-armored spiky python entered Xiao Jin's belly. Seeing Lin Chen standing beside it, it excitedly flew over, stretched its head over, and rubbed against Lin Chen to show affection.

Lin Chen reached out and patted its head, then turned and smiled, "It doesn't seem like it needs any special training."

Fairy Ziyun chuckled: "It's all from the books, you decide what to do."

The two set off again, with Xiao Jin accompanying them along the way, keeping pace with them.

A month later, the two arrived at a valley nestled among mountains, shrouded in a magical array.

"This is the residence of that alchemist. His name is Ouyang Jing, and he is known as the Pill King of the Cloud Sky Continent. He may not be the most skilled alchemist in the entire Thunder Immortal Realm, but he is definitely one of the top-tier alchemists..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is this Pill King's strength? I'm just wondering if these alchemists, if their strength is too weak, will be forced to refine pills, or even directly captured and kept as pets..."

Fairy Ziyun replied, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Not to mention the alchemists trained by the sect, they have the sect as their backing and are highly valued and protected by the sect."

"There are relatively few independent alchemists. After all, it is not easy for an independent cultivator to become a very powerful high-level alchemist on their own. They are often discovered by sects before they are even famous, and they are often recruited by various sects to become members of the sect."

"The higher the grade of the pill, the more the alchemist's strength needs to reach a certain level. Therefore, the strength of rogue alchemists who can refine top-grade pills is generally not bad. They are usually recruited to join major sects as guest elders or similar positions. Even if they exist alone, as long as you are willing to help others refine pills, who would need to compete with you?"

"The situation you described does exist, but it is relatively rare and usually involves special cases."

Lin Chen nodded: "What's the story behind this Pill King Ouyang?"

Fairy Ziyun replied, "He used to be a disciple of the sect, but later, due to internal conflicts, he moved away from the sect and came here to establish his own cave dwelling, where he lives in seclusion and refines elixirs."

"He not only has an extremely strong talent for alchemy, but also an extremely strong talent for cultivation. He is a pill cultivator, whose main job is to refine pills and find various medicinal herbs. Once he has pills, he cultivates. I heard before that he had entered the Golden Immortal realm. I don't know what realm he is now, but it can't be bad."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the entrance to the valley.

Fairy Ziyun spoke, "Fellow Daoist Ouyang, an old friend, Ziyun, has come to visit!" After a while, the formation opened, and a middle-aged man walked out, looking at Fairy Ziyun with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"you are?"

"Fairy Ziyun".

Fairy Ziyun replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist Ouyang, we met once before, in the Valley of Absolute Sea..."

Ouyang Jing's eyes showed surprise, then he glanced at Lin Chen and smiled, "Long time no see. What brings you here this time, fellow Daoist?"

Fairy Ziyun answered crisply, "I'll make a deal with you."

Ouyang Jing asked, "What kind of deal?"

Fairy Ziyun pointed at Lin Chen: "You teach him alchemy without holding anything back, and your reward is a copy of the Original Alchemy Classic."

Ouyang Jing's eyes widened suddenly, his gaze burning: "The Primordial Alchemy Scripture, you have it?"

Fairy Ziyun nodded: "Since I'm here to make a deal, I naturally have something to offer."

Ouyang Jing asked curiously, "I've heard of the Primordial Alchemy Scripture, but that's not something our Thunder Immortal Realm possesses..."

"Shenhua Tower".

Fairy Ziyun casually replied, tossing out a copied jade slip containing the original alchemical text: "Take a look and you'll know if it's real or fake."

Ouyang Jing took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Is this really the Primordial Alchemy Scripture? Did you bring it out of the Divine Flower Pavilion?"

Fairy Ziyun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who brought it out; what matters is that it's in your hands. Now it's up to you whether you're willing to accept this deal."

Ouyang Jing's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he looked him up and down: "Have you ever refined pills?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I have learned some basics in my spare time during my cultivation."

Ouyang Jing asked, "How old are you? What's your strength?"
