The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2440 Why wasn't the detection magic weapon brought out sooner?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen has been in this world for three months.

Over the course of three months, Lin Chen made more than ten trips, with mixed results. In total, he harvested forty-eight clusters of Phoenix Fire, about four thousand Phoenix Fire Crystals, and a whole bunch of other miscellaneous resources, making it a very fruitful haul.

Fu Yunzi and his group searched together and made quite a few gains. This was mainly because Fu Yunzi and Liu Yun were incredibly powerful, practically invincible in this world.

Fire Crocodile?

Lin Chen couldn't kill the Fire Crocodile, but that didn't mean Fu Yunzi and Liu Yun couldn't. For them, it was just a matter of lifting a finger. With their strength, if they weren't wary of the woman in red, they probably would have already run away.

After three months, most of the newcomers had adapted to life here. Those who couldn't adapt had all died, mostly during their adventures, while a small number tried to escape but were caught and mercilessly killed.

It's worth mentioning that among the newcomers was a cultivator with earth-attribute skills who could control earth escape techniques. His name was Jiang Wenyun, and his cultivation level was slightly higher than Lin Chen's. He was at the third level of the Great Luo Profound Immortal Realm. The unique advantage of earth escape techniques allowed him to safely evade attacks from various demonic beasts and successfully find the Phoenix Fire Crystal.

Jiang Wenyun was quite clever. After learning about the advantages of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic technique), he did not expose himself. However, he was fond of wine and women. During a break, he drank with everyone and accidentally let slip the secret, which led to him being tricked into revealing himself.

The news that Jiang Wenyun could use earth magic spread throughout the entire camp in an instant, and he suddenly became a hot commodity.

In order to survive better, the people in the camp had long formed small interest groups, and these groups were trying to win over Jiang Wenyun and get him to join their group.

There are quite a few small groups trying to win over Jiang Wenyun, and they have even started to fight each other openly and secretly. If it weren't for the clear rule that fighting is not allowed here, there would probably be a lot of battles over the people.

Jiang Wenyun was still hesitant about which group to join, but shortly after the woman who had stopped Lin Chen earlier and asked him if he knew how to use earth magic entered Jiang Wenyun's residence, Jiang Wenyun agreed to join the woman's small group.

The woman's group was small, consisting of only four people: Guo Cheng as the leader, Guan Chaoyu as the second, and Xue Gang as the third. All three of them were Great Luo Immortals, with Guo Cheng being a peak Great Luo Immortal, making him extremely powerful.

Among the entire camp, the three of them were not the strongest, but they were still among the top. Moreover, these three were ruthless and cunning, and had long been a local tyrant.

The woman's name was Fu Yunxiang. She was at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Because she was beautiful and very feminine, Guo Cheng took her into his household and made her his woman.

Among the cultivators trapped in the Roulette Secret Realm, there were certainly women. Those who survived either had enough strength of their own or joined forces with a powerful figure and became his vassal. There was no third way.

For Guo Cheng, Fu Yunxiang was just a plaything that could be replaced at any time. Once someone prettier and younger than Fu Yunxiang appeared, it would probably be the day that Fu Yunxiang was abandoned.

A Celestial Immortal might be able to make a name for themselves in a small, remote place, but in a major sect or in this chaotic land, it's simply not enough to protect them.

Women use their bodies as a bargaining chip, relying on the strong to gain a chance to survive and access cultivation resources. This is the survival strategy of many weak female cultivators here.

After Jiang Wenyun joined Guo Cheng's clique, Fu Yunxiang moved into Jiang Wenyun's residence. Clearly, in order to win over Jiang Wenyun, Guo Cheng simply handed Fu Yunxiang over to him.

There are plenty of women!
Out with the old, in with the new!
With Guo Cheng's abilities, would he lack women?

Lin Chen was not envious of Jiang Wenyun's treatment at all. He understood very well that in the eyes of Guo Cheng and others, Jiang Wenyun was just a tool with temporary value.

Guo Cheng and his group were already very strong, and with Jiang Wenyun's earth escape technique, their efficiency increased many times over, and their gains increased rapidly, making everyone else extremely envious.

Because the woman in red insisted that Lin Chen rely on himself and not on Fu Yunzi and the others, he always kept to himself. Even in the camp, he rarely interacted with Fu Yunzi and the others to avoid arousing suspicion. Although Lin Chen had enough Phoenix Fire to live a life of leisure for more than a year, he didn't rest for a single day in order to obtain more Phoenix Fire Crystals, continuing to search the world and hoping to encounter Phoenix Fire Spirits as well.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Chen didn't encounter the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but he did acquire a lot of Phoenix Fire Crystals.

Lin Chen returned once again and handed over the Phoenix Fire.

This time, he stayed at the camp and didn't rush out again, because with a significant increase in the number of explorers, the entire world had been basically explored, and all the Phoenix Fire Crystals had been mined out.

More and more people gave up going out and gathered in the camp, discussing excitedly.

"Now that we've searched every place, can we consider the exploration of this world over?"

"That's enough. There's no point in staying any longer. Maybe that person has already prepared the next world for us."

"Haven't we caught the Phoenix Fire Spirit yet?"

"So many people have searched for so long and encountered it so many times, but they still haven't been able to take it down. It probably won't be that easy to take it down."

"I wonder if the lord will personally intervene..."

"Who knows? But since she values ​​the Phoenix Fire so much, she definitely won't let the Phoenix Fire Spirit go!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Butler Chen reappeared.

"By order of the master, all searches for the Phoenix Fire are to be suspended from this moment forward. Everyone shall begin searching for the Phoenix Fire Spirit."

"I will give everyone a magic weapon personally crafted by its master. If you carry this magic weapon and enter a certain range of the Phoenix Fire Spirit, the magic weapon will undergo a corresponding change."

Everyone was overjoyed. Did they have a magical artifact to help with detection?

Someone asked in confusion, "Steward Chen, if you have such a good thing, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

Butler Chen said coldly, "Doesn't it take Master time to refine these magical artifacts? We were originally counting on you to find the Phoenix Fire Spirit, but so many of you have failed. Master had no choice but to step in and refine detection artifacts for you..."

The crowd immediately looked embarrassed and dared not utter a word of rebuttal, after all, they were slaves.

It's fine to question Butler Chen, but who is being questioned?
Perhaps they've had enough of living?

Lin Chen was soon assigned a detection magic item as well. Looking down, he saw that it was just a bell.

Lin Chen shook the bell, but it didn't ring at all. Looking at the patterns on the surface of the bell, it seemed that there was an array inside the bell, and the aura of the Phoenix Fire Spirit could activate the array and make the bell ring.

With so many people carrying detection artifacts and searching the world, the Phoenix Fire Spirit should be unable to hide now!
