The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 678 This is not a reward, but a gift from a friend.
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting Su Mubai to reply with such a sentence.

He had certainly heard that Su Mubai disliked Murong Feng, but he never expected Su Mubai to say something like that to him.

The tone was like complaining to a close friend, slightly intimate.

Su Mubai seemed to have come to his senses as well, realizing that his words had sounded rather intimate, and a slight awkwardness appeared on his fair face for a moment.

“He always comes to me for no reason. I’ve told him this clearly, but he just won’t listen.”

Su Mubai remained seated, stating his position in a gentle tone.

Lin Chen blinked: "Aren't you going to pay attention to him?"

Su Mubai shook his head: "I am an alchemist. It's normal for me to concentrate on alchemy without stopping."

A hint of cunning flashed in Su Mubai's eyes, which added a touch of girlish liveliness to her fairy-like face, making her appear much more vivid.

Lin Chen was surprised to see this side of Su Mubai and couldn't help but laugh.

"Speaking of alchemy, I've acquired quite a few spiritual herbs this time, and I need to find someone to refine them into pills..."

Su Mubai took the initiative to speak: "Tell me what kinds of spiritual herbs you have, and I'll see what kind of pills I can refine. Different realms require different pills, and choosing the right pill for yourself will make your efforts twice as effective."

Lin Chen didn't explain, and took out the medicine boxes containing various spiritual herbs, instantly piling up a bunch of medicine boxes in front of him.

Su Mubai's gaze shifted from indifference to surprise, and finally to disbelief.

Did you go to the supermarket to buy wholesale goods?

so much?
Su Mubai picked up a box, opened it, and exclaimed with delight: "Golden Marrow Fruit! This can be used to refine Golden Marrow Pills, which can purify the impurities accumulated in the body. This is a good thing."

"Dragon and snake grass can be used as an ingredient to refine Qi Gathering Pills."

"Black gold wood is rarely used for alchemy, but if there's a large quantity, it's quite good for forging weapons."

"Nine-leaf ginseng!! You're incredibly lucky to have encountered a nine-leaf ginseng. It takes almost a thousand years for it to grow to this size. It's a rare and top-quality ginseng. Using the nine-leaf ginseng as the main ingredient, you can refine Nine-Ginseng Pills. Nine-Ginseng Pills are most useful for assisting cultivation and enhancing strength."

Su Mubai opened the boxes one by one, commenting and exclaiming with seriousness. It was clear that she was indeed very skilled in alchemy; she could identify a medicinal herb at a glance and then guess what kind of pill it could be used to make. Murong Feng's calls from outside the door rang out a few more times before disappearing.

Su Mubai acted as if he hadn't heard, put down the last box, looked up and asked, "What kind of pills are you planning to refine?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Naturally, it's mainly for assisting cultivation and improving strength."

Su Mubai picked out some boxes: "Then I'll refine a batch of Nine Ginseng Pills for you, and another batch of Golden Marrow Pills. If you take them together, your cultivation will be more effective. Although these other medicinal herbs can be used to refine other pills, they are not very useful for your cultivation."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, the cost of this alchemy..."

Su Mubai chuckled lightly, "You're being too polite. You saved my life. Helping you refine two batches of pills is just a small favor. Why charge me? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

Lin Chen waved his hand and chuckled, "Let's not talk about saving lives."

Su Mubai chuckled: "I can choose not to mention it, but don't be so formal with me. If you're going to be formal, then I have no choice but to bring it up."

Lin Chen was amused by Su Mubai's words: "Alright... everything you just said is useful to me. Take whatever of these spiritual herbs is useful to you. This is not a reward, but a gift from a friend."

Su Mubai thought for a moment, then reached out and took two medicine boxes: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll take two kinds. I'm planning to make some medicine for myself recently, and these two are very important auxiliary materials. With them, I can save myself a lot of trouble."

"Okay, if you ever need any medicinal herbs in the future, just let me know. If I happen to come across them in the secret realm or somewhere else, I'll gather them for you."

Lin Chen wasn't exaggerating. Many medicinal herbs used in alchemy require a certain age. The same herb might be 300 years old and be used to make a top-quality elixir, while a few decades old might be found everywhere and be worthless.

If that's the case, then wouldn't it be no problem for Lin Chen?

Su Mubai nodded: "Okay."

Lin Chen pointed to the remaining medicine boxes: "Since we can't use these spiritual herbs, we need to find a way to sell them. I still need to work hard to earn money to buy Xuan Tie Wu Jing."

Su Mubai suggested, "If you really want to sell, you can go to Su's Pill Shop on Flying Waterfall Peak. It's a shop run by our Su family, and the prices are absolutely fair. Xuan Tie Wu Jing is too precious. Since you're following Peak Master Qiao to learn her Three-Foot Sword Curtain, you'll probably have to work hard to earn spirit stones."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "I only know that Xuan Tie Wu Jing is very precious, but how precious exactly? If I sell all these spiritual herbs, can I buy a piece of Xuan Tie Wu Jing?"
