The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2110 Everyone has a story, right?

Immortals possess incredibly powerful senses, so once they smelled the fragrance, they easily located its source.

Below the mountain stream, a patch of red ruby ​​orchid mushrooms huddled together, emitting a strong fragrance.

Lin Chen took a closer look and laughed, "Following Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm sure I won't come away empty-handed. This patch of Red Jade Orchid Fungus has at least twenty or so blossoms; that's a considerable sum."

Hong Guiling asked, "Red Jade Orchid Fungus? I've never heard of it before. Is it very valuable?"

Lin Chen explained with a smile, "The Red Jade Orchid Fungus does not help improve strength, but it can be used as a raw material to refine the Red Jade Pill. If women take it, it will have a good effect on improving their physique and making their skin delicate. In short, it makes women more like women. Therefore, the Red Jade Pill is a rare and precious thing in the eyes of female cultivators."

"These twenty or so Red Jade Orchid Fungus can be used to refine at least ten batches of Red Jade Pills. If sold on the market, their value is no less than that of pills that enhance strength, and may even be much more expensive."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

A woman!
Understand!
Xiao Shubo and Song Jun were fine, but Hong Guiling's eyes were already shining. Even Lu Xinyan, who had a calm and aloof personality, had her eyes light up, showing some eagerness to try.

Clearly, both women were interested.

Hong Guiling asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, aren't you an alchemist? Can you refine this Crimson Jade Pill?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "This Crimson Jade Pill is a high-grade pill, and the refining technique requires a high level of skill. In addition, this pill cannot improve strength, and the Crimson Jade Orchid Fungus is also very rare, so many alchemists do not know how to make it."

Just as the two women subconsciously showed expressions of disappointment, Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I've never practiced it before, but I should be able to."

Hong Guiling's eyes lit up immediately: "If these twenty or so Red Jade Purple Orchid Fungi are divided among people, each person can get about four. Can you help us refine the Red Jade Pill you mentioned? I can pay the handling fee..."

The adventure team had an agreement that if the spoils could be divided into five parts, then they would be divided into five parts, with each person receiving one part. Any spoils that were not enough to distribute among the five people, or any excess, would be used to create a combination and then redistribute the remaining spoils.

Lin Chen didn't mention the Divine Light Bamboo Core and readily agreed, "Okay!"

Hong Guiling's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. You are indeed a kind person."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's pick them first."

Just as the group was about to pick the fruit, three golden lights streaked across the sky and suddenly stopped.

Three men dressed in golden robes spotted Lin Chen and his group at a glance. In an instant, they appeared in front of them, their eyes sweeping over the crowd before suddenly landing on Xiao Shubo's face.

"Hey, Xiao Shubo, it's you!"

Xiao Shubo's expression suddenly turned quite ugly, with a hint of hidden anger in his eyes. "Senior Brother Chen, it's been a long time."

The leading man laughed loudly: "Don't try to claim any connection. You've already been expelled from the sect and are not considered a disciple of the Sea Shark Sect at all. Don't call me 'Senior Brother' anymore."

Xiao Shubo remained silent with a cold expression.

Lin Chen and the others all turned their gazes to Xiao Shubo's face, their expressions showing some surprise.

Sea Shark Gate?
Expelled from the family?

It seems Xiao Shubo is a man with a story.

The leader glanced at the group, chuckled coldly, and his eyes held an undeniable contempt.

None of Lin Chen and his group of five were wearing sect robes, which suggests that they were likely all independent cultivators with no special background.

Disciples of powerful sects often wear robes bearing the sect's insignia when they go out; this is both an honor and a source of confidence.

The man's gaze fell upon the ravine below, and he quickly spotted the row of red jade orchid mushrooms, his eyes lighting up immediately.

"Red Jade Orchid Fungus, this is a real gem! Haha, I knew it! I could smell the fragrance from far away. Lucky me..."

Xiao Shubo said in a deep voice, "We were the first to discover this Red Jade Orchid Fungus."

The man laughed loudly: "Xiao Shubo, are you stupid? Everything in the entire secret realm is ownerless. Whoever gets it keeps it. Let alone these Red Jade Orchid Fungus, which haven't been picked yet, even if they were picked, do you think it would be yours?"

The man's words were blunt: even if you pick it, I can still snatch it from your hands.

Xiao Shubo clenched his fists, his gaze growing colder.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face: "What, you're not convinced? If you're not convinced, come and fight me! You have excellent cultivation talent, right? You must be very strong now, probably a Celestial Immortal, right? Come and fight me!"

Xiao Shubo didn't move, but his fists clenched even tighter.

The man's tone turned cold: "Don't tell me you don't have the ability. Even if you did, would you dare? Your entire Xiao family is within the sphere of influence of my Sea Shark Sect. If you were still in the Sea Shark Sect, and you fought me, it would be called a fight between fellow disciples. If you provoked me, I would at most deal with you alone. But you are not now. If you dare to provoke me, I will wipe out your entire family!"

Xiao Shubo's eyes suddenly turned red.
