The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 509 The Monk Who Feigned Death
Lin Chen understood immediately.

Abundant spiritual energy is a necessary condition for curing Gu Yuexi, but only by entering the cave heaven can one possess abundant spiritual energy. However, there are rules for the cave heaven: mortals from the human world are not allowed to enter it!

The woman in green asked, "Can't it be cured without entering the grotto?"

Old Qin replied, "Without abundant spiritual energy, it's impossible to cure her by modifying her body. I can use pills containing spiritual energy to prolong her life, but in that case, she can only lie in bed every day and cannot move around like a normal person. Moreover, the amount of pills is limited. I can provide her with a few months' worth of pills, and I can't do any more than that."

The woman in green frowned: "Elder Qin, Lin Chen once saved my daughter's life..."

Old Qin smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but I'll give her a Yuanling Pill. The medicine might be able to keep her living like a normal person for three years. Other than that, I really have no other choice."

Seeing the pained expression on Elder Qin's face, Lin Chen could roughly guess that the Yuanling Pill must be extremely precious, and the woman in green obviously had a certain status and background in Cangshan Cave, so Elder Qin had to give her face.

The woman in green was clearly helping out of sincerity, repaying Lin Chen for his past kindness, but things were now obviously getting complicated.

Saving people is not difficult; the difficulty lies in entering the cave.

Lin Chen suddenly spoke up and asked, "Madam..."

The woman in green smiled gently and said, "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Tongxian. You can just call me Sister Chen."

Chen Tongxian spoke gently and warmly, clearly showing her goodwill towards Lin Chen, the man who saved her daughter.

Lin Chen asked, "Sister Chen, I heard from Elder Qin that as long as one enters the grotto-heaven, one can be completely cured. I would like to ask, how can an ordinary person in the mortal world enter the grotto-heaven?"

Chen Tongxian explained, "Generally speaking, it is not allowed at all. After all, with more people coming and going between the two worlds, it will cause many hidden dangers. However, due to some special reasons, some gate passes, or passes, will be issued in winter. As long as you have a pass, you can enter the cave."

Chen Tongxian said apologetically, "Door access tokens are extremely special and very rare. Some were issued in the past, but now they are basically not issued anymore, which means the passage is cut off. The last time I went out, I was on a mission. Although I have some status in the cave, I still don't have the ability to get a door access token."

Lin Chen asked definitively, "Is it true that as long as there's a door guide, one can definitely enter the cave heaven?"

"Yes!"

Chen Tongxian answered affirmatively, "As long as there is a door guide, we will definitely be able to enter the cave."

Lin Chen reached into his backpack and took out the jade pendant for the Cangshan Cave that he had prepared beforehand. He placed it in his hand and asked, "Sister Chen, is this the entrance to your Cangshan Cave?" Everyone's eyes fell on the jade pendant in Lin Chen's hand, and their faces showed surprise.

Old Qin reached out and took the jade pendant. No one knew how he did it, but the jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint light, with a subtle flowing light rotating within it, as if it had come to life.

Lin Chen's eyes widened. He had this jade pendant in his hands for some time and had studied it many times. It looked like an ordinary jade pendant, but now it seemed that this jade pendant was very magical. He just didn't know how to activate it.

Old Qin looked up in surprise: "This is indeed the entrance token to our Cangshan Cave. How did you obtain it?"

Lin Chen answered honestly: "I obtained it in Liangchang Mountain Cave Heaven, from an ancient temple left behind by a monk named Wuchen."

Lin Chen didn't recount the process of obtaining the door guide, but he did mention its possible origin to avoid any misunderstanding.

Old Qin's eyes widened: "Wuchen, he actually went to Liangchang Mountain?"

Lin Chen blinked. Did this mean that Elder Qin knew about Wu Chen?
Lin Chen replied, "There's a monument there, and I even took a picture of it..."

Lin Chen took out the photo of the stone tablet he had taken before. Old Qin took it and looked at it, then handed it to Chen Tongxian: "Wuchen came to Cangshan Cave before. He had a pleasant conversation with the cave master and stayed for a while. He even caused some trouble later. In the end, he left Cangshan Cave and disappeared. It turns out he went to Liangchang Mountain. However, this tablet may be fake."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment: "Fake?"

Old Qin laughed and said, "Even the cave master admits that Wuchen's strength is inferior to his. How could he possibly die at Liangchang Mountain? Perhaps this is just a plan for him to escape. Who knows where he's run off to..."

Even the cave master of Cangshan Cave admitted that he was inferior to him.

Wow, is this monk really that powerful?
Could this be the reason why Liu Sansheng sent him to investigate the ancient temple?

In Liu Sansheng's words, if there is anything of value, it must be in that ancient temple. It seems that Liu Sansheng has a deep understanding of this ancient temple where the dust settles.

Lin Chen composed himself and asked, "Since this is the entrance to Cangshan Cave, can she enter Cangshan Cave to receive treatment?"
