The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 589 The Efficacy of the Strange Fish

The strange fish was about one meter long, with a soft body, somewhat resembling a ribbonfish, but it was clearly not a ribbonfish.

How can sea fish live in freshwater?
The strange fish has a set of sharp, interlocking teeth, but its mouth isn't very big; otherwise, the little guy wouldn't have such a small wound.

This strange fish had all sorts of injuries on its body, clearly caused by the little guy's claws or bites.

The little guy pushed the fish towards Lin Chen, clearly giving it to him as a thank-you gift.

Zhou Yin laughed and said, "It's giving you fish, what should we do?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try. Eating only fish should be fine."

Zhou Yin smiled expectantly and said, "Okay, let's cook some first and see how it goes. I'll go out and get some stove equipment."

Soon, Zhou Yin brought back a portable portable gas stove, cookware, and seasonings, and the two began cooking in the cave.

Lin Chen selected some fish to cook, lightly pan-frying the fish until golden brown on both sides, then sprinkling with some seasoning salt.

Zhou Yin took a bite, and her eyes widened suddenly: "So tender, so fragrant, so delicious!"

Lin Chen also tried it, and it was indeed incredibly delicious, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure.

As soon as the fish meat went down into my stomach, I felt waves of warmth rising up from my stomach.

This feeling was familiar, just like the reaction I had after eating that dragon-patterned fish bone on Kunlun Mountain that day, only the reaction wasn't as strong.

"It seems this fish is indeed something special, with effects similar to the dragon-patterned fish from the Jade Pool. Let's cultivate while we eat!"

Zhou Yin was extremely excited: "Great, Brother Chen, this should be considered a lucky encounter, right?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I guess so. In this world where spiritual energy is scarce, it's really not easy to find something like this."

Zhou Yin asked curiously, "If even I can find a place like this, why can't others?"

Lin Chen had already considered this question and replied, "The spiritual energy in the Unknown Lands is abundant. Those cultivators don't need to come to the mortal world to find such places to cultivate. Moreover, cultivators in the mortal world primarily practice earthly methods, not cultivation methods, so they cannot sense spiritual energy and don't need to find such places to cultivate..."

"Even if there are special beings like you and me who occasionally search for similar places of spiritual energy and consume the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will slowly accumulate again after five or ten years. In other words, as long as no cultivators come here and consume the spiritual energy within five or ten years, the result will be the same for us if we find this place."

Zhou Yin suddenly realized, and then her spirits lifted: "Since spiritual energy sites will recover, then I'll find more spiritual energy sites and rotate them to cultivate. Wouldn't that make my strength increase rapidly, and maybe I'll even break through to the Innate Realm in the end?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Theoretically, that's true, but bottlenecks are subjective. Dean Li was stuck at the peak of the Inner Qi Realm because of his talent, but you advanced to Grandmaster in one go. As long as you have enough talent, what you said is entirely possible." Zhou Yin looked excited. This meant that as long as she had the talent to break through realms, she would definitely be able to reach above the Innate Realm and eventually enter the Unknown Realm!

Seeing Zhou Yin's excited expression, Lin Chen encouraged her, "The cultivation method you practice must be quite good, otherwise you wouldn't be able to improve so quickly. Keep practicing, and if you break through to the Innate Realm or higher in the future, you will be able to see the entrance to the Unknown Land and be qualified to enter it."

Zhou Yin nodded: "Then I'll come find you later!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't know where I'll be in the future. If you really need to find me but can't, you can go to Cangshan Cave Heaven to find Gu Yuexi, or go to Penglai Divine Mountain overseas to find Chu Jiaxue."

Zhou Yin silently kept it in mind.

Chu Jiaxue is his wife, so who is this Gu Yuexi?

Is she his confidante?
Zhou Yin didn't ask.

Lin Chen was able to tell her all this, which clearly meant he no longer considered her an outsider, and she was already very happy.

"Hurry up and start cultivating. Don't waste this good stuff."

In the days that followed, Lin Chen and Zhou Yin ate fried fish fillets while cultivating, and all the other food was given to the little guy.

Firstly, I don't know if there will be any problems if other people eat it, and secondly, this is, after all, the little guy's spoils, so it would be a bit much to keep it all to myself.

The little guy wasn't picky at all; he ate everything except the parts Lin Chen cut off.

After finishing its meal, the little guy curled up and fell asleep next to Lin Chen. It slept for a long time, and if it weren't for its deep breathing, Lin Chen would have thought it had eaten something wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, perhaps this is another way for it to digest and absorb the essence of the fish.

When the alarm clock rang, Lin Chen opened his eyes from his cross-legged position.

I checked the time; it was already the 8th.

The 10th is the day Feng Yue and Feng Hang will compete; I should go back now!

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the still-sleeping little guy, his eyes showing some hesitation. Should he take it with him?
