The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 740 I can now cling to my senior sister's leg

Qiao Wei nodded, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement, but also a hint of lingering fear.

"You succeeded. Perhaps it's because of my sword bones, but this tribulation was much stronger than that of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator advancing to the next level. I almost couldn't withstand it. You should be careful when you advance in the future and it would be best to prepare more magic treasures that can withstand tribulations."

Lin Chen nodded, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Just now in the sky, spiritual energy was pouring in, and that spiritual energy was also frantically pouring into my body. Did I steal the spiritual energy that originally belonged to you? Will it have any effect on you?"

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "It's alright. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is endless. Even if you weren't here, I couldn't possibly absorb it all. I brought you here with that in mind, but I didn't expect to faint. Fortunately, it turned out to be a lucky accident..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "You brought me here to advance through the tribulation and to help me absorb spiritual energy?"

Qiao Wei explained, "After undergoing the tribulation of lightning, the world will generate a large amount of pure spiritual energy. This spiritual energy has been tempered by lightning and is different from the spiritual energy we usually feel during cultivation. It is of higher quality and can bring great benefits to cultivators. However, the amount of spiritual energy is very large and relatively dispersed. People undergoing the tribulation of lightning often cannot fully absorb it. Therefore, if possible, they will bring their closest relatives with them. Firstly, they can observe the scene of undergoing the tribulation of lightning and increase their experience. Secondly, they can absorb some spiritual energy and not waste it."

After a pause, Qiao Wei added, "This is also why one must find a wide, secluded place to undergo tribulation. No one else can be allowed to be nearby. Although it is true that spiritual energy cannot be fully absorbed and there will be waste, if there are too many people around, it will affect the absorption of the person undergoing tribulation and the height of their advancement. Therefore, even close relatives usually only bring one junior with a significantly different cultivation level to watch and absorb the scattered spiritual energy within a certain distance."

Lin Chen understood and was filled with gratitude.

Closest relatives.

Absorbing scattered spiritual energy within a certain distance...

Qiao Wei clearly considered him a close relative, letting him come and enjoy the good life and absorb some spiritual energy. She had previously designated a spot for him, presumably intending for him to cultivate there and absorb spiritual energy. However, an accident occurred later, and in order to help her, he ended up being bathed in the most intense spiritual energy at close range.

Thinking about it this way, I must have had some impact on Qiao Wei, but she probably didn't want me to think about it, so she said she had no impact.

Fortunately, the amount I absorb is limited, so although it has an impact, it shouldn't be too significant.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Congratulations on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Senior Sister... From now on, I can rely on Senior Sister's coattails, and I won't be afraid of anyone bullying me anymore!"

Hug your thighs?
A subtle flicker appeared in Qiao Wei's eyes. You really did really suck up to me just now!
"Sure, if anyone bullies you again, I'll beat them up for you!"

Lin Chen chuckled and asked, "Senior Sister, how do you think your current combat strength compares to?"

Qiao Wei thought for a moment: "Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators should be easy to beat up, and late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators should be no problem either. I estimate that, apart from a very few flamboyant individuals, I can beat up any Nascent Soul cultivator."

Great!

Lin Chen was amazed; this sword-wielding body was truly incredible.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the greater the gap between each level becomes. Even a small tier, such as the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, is a huge and insurmountable gap. However, Qiao Wei, because of her sword bones, was able to skip two stages and defeat a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! Lin Chen laughed and said, "Sword bones are really powerful. I will also work hard to refine sword bones next."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "I'll help you."

Lin Chen didn't refuse. After so many things had happened between him and Qiao Wei, their relationship had reached a very close stage.

It's hard to describe.

Senior and junior brothers/sisters?

Almost lovers?

ambiguous?

In short, they have a very good relationship and don't hold grudges against each other.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "If anyone should thank you, it should be me. Without you risking your life to defend the city and capture Feng Jixin, where would we get so many resources? Without you helping me with the treatment, I don't know how much time it would take, or even if I could finish refining the last few dozen sword bones at once, there would be accidents."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, let's not stand on ceremony then, it's like a business flattery."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Okay, next you work hard to refine the sword bone, and I'll help you find ways to earn resources."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I have quite a bit of Xuan Tie Wu Jing in my hands now. I plan to refine my two arms first, and then I plan to go to Kunlun Mountain."

Qiao Wei was taken aback: "Looking for your parents?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I saw Kunlun Mountain on the map of Xihou Prefecture, and I felt that I should definitely make a trip there. I just don't know what the requirements are for entering Kunlun Mountain?"

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. I'll go find my master later. He has met with the cave master of Kunlun Mountain. I'll ask him to write a letter to the cave master of Kunlun Mountain, and then I'll have you deliver the letter. Your entry into Kunlun Mountain will then be a natural process."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, but then he became somewhat worried: "Will the cave master agree?"

Qiao Wei replied decisively, "My master only has three disciples. If I ask him, he will definitely help me..."
