The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 676 Her strength and poverty were well-known.
Lin Chen waited quietly.

The jade slip is enough to explain Su Qinghua's own experience, so Lin Chen doesn't need to worry about any misunderstandings.

Soon, a group of people arrived outside.

To Lin Chen's surprise, Su Mubai was also in the crowd.

Su Qinghua?
Su Mubai?
Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses. So this was a family?

Su Mubai was also taken aback when he saw Lin Chen, clearly not expecting to see Lin Chen here.

A middle-aged man took the spatial ring from Yue Shanhe, examined it, and his eyes immediately lit up with excitement. He walked up to Lin Chen and said, "I am Su Dingbo. What you brought back is my father's remains. We all thought he had encountered a powerful demon beast and perished when he didn't return, but we never expected that he died in the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm. You have brought back my father's remains, which is a great favor to our Su family. We will definitely repay you!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's fate that we met. It was just a small favor. Mr. Su, you don't need to be so polite. Besides, Miss Su and I know each other. We're friends, so there's no need to stand on ceremony."

Su Dingbo paused, his gaze falling on Su Mubai in the crowd behind him: "You mean... Mubai?"

Su Mubai stepped forward, his gaze quite subtle: "Yes, I know Lin Chen. We fought side by side during this secret realm adventure, and Lin Chen even saved my life."

Su Dingbo's eyes widened: "He saved you?"

Su Mubai nodded: "Yes."

Su Dingbo turned to look at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude: "You not only brought back my father's remains, but also saved my daughter. I, Su Dingbo, owe you a huge favor."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Su, please don't mind. Miss Su and I face difficulties together and fight side by side. We are comrades who have shared life and death. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters."

Su Dingbo said decisively, "Since you and my daughter are acquainted, I won't say any more polite words. Thank you. The Su family will definitely repay this favor later."

After a few polite words, the matter was considered settled.

Yue Shanhe asked, "Lin Chen, would you be willing to join my Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Although it wasn't the time for the Myriad Swords Sect to recruit disciples, special arrangements were made. As the sect leader, Yue Shanhe could decide who to admit with just a word.

Lin Chen smiled and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, Sect Master Yue, but I am currently learning from my senior sister and will not be joining any sect for the time being."

Yue Shanhe casually asked, "Who is your senior sister?"

Not only Yue Shanhe was curious, but Su Mubai also stared at Lin Chen with curiosity. Lin Chen smiled and replied, "Qiao Wei, the peak master of Flying Waterfall Peak."

Yue Shanhe's expression immediately turned rather strange, while Su Mubai looked surprised. They had just met before and had never seen them address each other as senior sister and junior brother.

"Your name is Senior Sister Qiao Wei?"

Lin Chen replied simply, "The cultivation technique I practice comes from Liu Sansheng of Liangchang Mountain Cave Heaven. He is my master. The cave master and my master are acquainted and are peers, so I call Peak Master Qiao 'Senior Sister'."

Yue Shanhe suddenly realized and asked, "She taught you the Three-Foot Sword Curtain?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Yue Shanhe laughed and said, "The Three-Foot Sword Curtain is indeed very strong, but it consumes too many cultivation resources. Qiao Wei, a Nascent Soul cultivator, consumes many times more cultivation resources than a Deity Transformation cultivator. She hasn't even reached the peak yet. Who knows how many resources she will need to reach the peak? Your world is famous for both its strength and poverty. Are you also planning to take this path?"

Strong or poor?
Is it that exaggerated?

For a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to complain about being poor, and to the point that everyone knows it, is truly remarkable.

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I just think the Three-Foot Sword Curtain is pretty strong."

Yue Shanhe chuckled: "She is indeed quite strong. Your senior sister's strength is a realm lower than ours, but her combat power is no less than ours, and may even be greater. Even so, she hasn't reached the end of her cultivation yet. Her resource needs will increase more and more in the future, and she hasn't advanced in a long time..."

Lin Chen was taken aback. Were cultivation resources really that extravagant?
Aside from things like the Myriad Mysterious Black Essence, we need other things that are even more valuable.

In that sense, Qiao Wei seems more like a spirit stone warrior. She spends massive amounts of spirit stones to buy all kinds of cultivation resources and then increases her strength. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she can easily defeat Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators of the same realm, and even defeat Deity Transformation cultivators!
Lin Chen didn't say much, only replying, "Give it a try. Resources can be earned slowly, as long as the cultivation technique is powerful."

Yue Shanhe nodded: "The three-foot sword curtain is indeed powerful, there is no doubt about that. If she can refine her sword bones someday, even if she is still in the Nascent Soul stage, she can easily defeat several of us!"

Lin Chen gasped. Was the Three-Foot Sword Curtain really that powerful?

"Since you don't intend to join the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, what do you want? Send back the remains of our elders, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

Make the demands yourself?

Lin Chen blinked: "I'm currently practicing Sword Bone with my senior sister. How about you give me a few pieces of Xuan Iron Black Essence?"
