The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2274 The Myriad Array Disk, Isn't this just a simulation exercise?
When Lin Chen arrived at the lakeside cabin, Lu Yao was sitting on a deck chair by the lake, squinting her eyes and resting, looking relaxed and content.

On one side of the recliner, a tea table was set up with a pot of tea being brewed, and next to it was an incense burner with a stick of incense burning on it.

Lin Chen lay down in front of the recliner, smelling the faint fragrance in the air, and his mind instantly cleared and his heart became calm.

Lu Yao opened her eyes and smiled, "Any progress?"

Lin Chen sat down on an empty chair next to him. Instead of asking questions, he comfortably lay back in the chair and laughed, "You're living a really leisurely life."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I'm old, and I have nothing to look forward to anymore, so naturally I'm at ease."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "There's no such thing as old age for cultivators. Life is long, and you always have to look forward. Shouldn't strong cultivators of your level be striving to surpass the level of saints?"

"saint?"

Lu Yao shook his head and laughed, "That's not something you can just do if you don't want to. You have to understand your own limits. Some things are wonderful, but you can't get them just because you want them. If you can't see this, even if you have almost infinite life and great strength, you will still live a very tiring and even desperate life."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Old Lu, you're something else. You've seen through life and death, haven't you? You feel you can't reach the level of a saint, so you've just given up and become a couch potato, right?"

Lu Yao didn't care about Lin Chen's teasing at all: "This is not bad either. You can retire peacefully. Didn't you say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It is indeed quite good. Actually, I am a lazy person at heart. I just want to live my life peacefully, leisurely and a bit of a couch potato. But people are too weak. There are always things or people that come up to you and push you forward. You can't stay idle."

Lu Yao stared at Lin Chen: "What you want is not the lazy and leisurely life of hiding away in seclusion, but the freedom to go anywhere in the world, to fear no one, and to do what you want without being restrained..."

Lin Chen was quite surprised: "Old Lu, you know quite a bit about this."

Lu Yao chuckled: "Who hasn't gone through this? Even though someone like Qin Zheng has grand ambitions and is determined to be superior to others, most immortals are actually just like ordinary people. They simply want to become stronger, freer, not be bullied, and able to say no to more things..."

Lin Chen agreed, "Yes, that's the expectation, but the result is often unattainable, so people force themselves to keep moving forward, and this pressure might continue until the day they die."

Lu Yao nodded: "That's right, that's human nature. Every ordinary person wants to become an immortal. Above immortals are Da Luo, above Da Luo are sages, and above sages, there are always stronger beings. What about you? Do you want to become a sage?" Lin Chen smiled and said: "To say I don't would be hypocritical, but as you said, these things aren't things you can do just by wanting to. Let it be. It's definitely not wrong for people to strive for improvement. Who doesn't want to be more powerful? As long as you have a normal mindset, I don't think there's any big problem."

Lu Yao's rocking chair swayed gently as he leaned back lazily: "Is there a problem?"

Lin Chen explained the problem he had encountered: "Old Lu, you're a master of formations, you should also be proficient in talismans, right?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I can indeed be considered a master in terms of formations, but as for talismans, I only have a slight understanding at most. There is a big difference between the two."

Lin Chen's eyes widened, his expression quite disappointed: "So you mean you're out of ideas about this too?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "If it's just copying what you see, then it's not a big deal."

Lin Chen's mood was like a rollercoaster, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Old Lu, do you have a way?"

Lu Yao rummaged through his spatial ring and then tossed Lin Chen a magical artifact that resembled a drawing board.

"This is the Myriad Array Plate, a magical artifact I made to practice drawing arrays. Once activated with spiritual power, the Myriad Array Plate becomes like a sandbox for drawing arrays. You can treat it as if you are actually drawing an array. If you fail, the light screen will shatter, and you will need to start over."

"When you can perfectly draw the array on the Myriad Array Plate, then you can actually operate and create the array. After all, array materials are precious, especially for advanced arrays. If you are not proficient and confident, then creating an array will consume countless precious materials."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood the function of the Myriad Array Plate; it was simply a tool for simulating the creation of arrays.

Lin Chen took the Array Plate and said with a smile, "Teach me array formations when you have time later."

Lu Yao replied nonchalantly, "Sure, as long as you're willing to learn. But I'm very strict when teaching, so don't be too tough on me..."
