The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 634 Junior Brother, Aren't you going to do something for your senior brother?

Reading.

After Qingling left, Lin Chen didn't rush to practice those spells or sword control techniques, but instead started reading the beginner's manual.

Although Lin Chen had already learned a lot from Qu Xuehua and Zhou Wuyuan, each grotto-heaven had different rules, so he naturally needed to understand them clearly.

After carefully reading through the text, Lin Chen gained a good understanding of the living conditions of the cultivators in the Hengshan Grotto-heaven of Nanyue.

The spiritual energy in Hengshan Cave in Nanyue is abundant, making it suitable for cultivation. Cultivators usually focus on their cultivation in their respective caves. In addition to cultivation, they can enter secret realms to train and obtain various spoils of war. These spoils of war will be used to refine pills, forge weapons or armor, or for other purposes.

To put it simply, entering the secret realm for training can hone your combat skills, but the biggest benefit is that you can earn money, specifically spirit stones.

Spirit stones are produced from spirit mines and contain pure spiritual energy. They can be used to assist in cultivation. Therefore, spirit stones are the currency of the entire cultivation world, a true hard currency.

The Golden Core Realm is nothing special in the entire cave heaven, but for Lin Chen's age, it is already considered to be an outstanding level of strength. Not to mention the mortal realm where spiritual energy is scarce, even in the cultivation world, breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm is a huge threshold that has trapped many people below it.

With a golden elixir entering my belly, my fate is now in my own hands, not in the heavens!

Having figured out the environment he was about to face, Lin Chen began to practice those spells, starting to "catch up" on his studies.

Jade slips are a magical recording method. In addition to recording messages, important information can also be projected like 3D, making it quite easy for Lin Chen to practice those basic spells. He even quickly learned the sword control technique. Although he was still a little unaccustomed to it, he was finally able to control his flying sword to fight.

This training lasted for a month.

Qingling visited four or five times during this period. Each time she came, Lin Chen would warmly welcome her with drinks and snacks. Qingling ate happily and packed up leftovers.

Lin Chen had a feeling that Qiao Wei probably ate some of the things that were packed up and taken back. Moreover, he felt that some of the snacks that Qing Ling specifically asked for seemed to be on behalf of Qiao Wei. Naturally, Lin Chen pretended not to know anything and satisfied all her requests.

The sugar-coated bullets were very effective. Qingling would take the initiative to ask him if he had any difficulties in his cultivation, help Lin Chen answer his questions, and even personally cast spells to guide him.

That day, Lin Chen was cultivating when he suddenly heard people talking outside.

"Huh, why are people living in Cave 4? Who are they?"

"Is the master here?"

Lin Chen stopped cultivating, stepped out of the cave, and found two young men standing at the entrance, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and arrogance.

Lin Chen released the restriction and said with a smile, "Greetings, you two."

The two young men, one tall and thin, the other short and stout, sized up Lin Chen: "Brother, new here?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, it's been a month. What's your name?" The tall, thin man asked with a puzzled look, "Are you related to the Peak Master?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No."

The tall, thin man's voice suddenly rose two decibels: "Then how come you can live in Cave Number Four? Ordinary people can't live in this cave... Which city are you from?"

Lin Chen replied, "I'm from outside."

The tall, thin man paused, then asked, "Outside? Which outside?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "The mortal realm."

The tall, thin man opened his eyes wide: "We've sealed this cave for two hundred years, how did you get in?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have a piece of Heavenly Revelation Jade."

The tall, thin man suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Qiang, and this is Xiang Qiu. He's your senior, technically."

Lin Chen greeted them kindly, "Hello, senior brothers."

The short, fat man curled his lip at Qiu: "What's the point of just saying hello? As a newcomer meeting his senior, you have to show some respect, right?"

Lin Chen was stunned. What was going on?
blackmail?

"How exactly does Senior Brother mean it?"

Xiang Qiu patted his chubby belly and chuckled, "We think Cave Number Four is pretty good. How about we switch?"

The earlier the cave's number, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy. How could Lin Chen agree to that? He was just a little puzzled. Was the world of cultivators really this simple and brutal?
Why are they making me change my cave dwelling right away?
This is like living in a big villa, and then a poor senior brother comes along and asks Lin Chen to exchange his villa for his thatched hut.

No one would agree to this, right?
Even if you agree, they'll still think you're easy to bully and will take advantage of you even more.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "When I came here, the Peak Master arranged it this way. I dare not change it at will. It would be bad if I displeased the Peak Master. If you have any opinions or ideas, why don't you go and talk to the Peak Master? As long as the Peak Master nods, I will immediately change the cave dwelling to yours."

Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu both froze. Should they talk to the peak master?
Although the peak master doesn't manage affairs, she hates being bothered. If this matter were to reach her ears, the two of them would probably be in serious trouble.

"Why are you making such a fuss? It's just changing cave dwellings. You're a newbie, hogging such good resources and not being able to use them. It's a complete waste..."
