The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 773 You actually gave it to me? You're willing to part with it?

“When my parents were being chased, it was Aunt Tang who saved their lives and took them back to Kunlun Mountain. You guarded Beihan City for twenty years so that my mother could stay in Kunlun. After my father disappeared, you also took good care of my mother.”

Lin Chen spoke sincerely, bowing respectfully: "Moreover, you and my father, Lin Yuan, are fellow disciples and friends. As a junior, it is only right that I call you 'Auntie'..."

Lin Chen's words came from the bottom of her heart. Regardless of her emotional entanglement with her father, she had sacrificed too much for her father and mother.

Putting everything else aside, the life-saving grace was genuine. As for the relationship between his father and Tang Li, Lin Chen naturally couldn't comment, and could only use the term "fellow disciples and friends" to describe it.

Tang Li stared at Lin Chen's face, her coldness gradually softening: "Come in and talk."

Song Peng was dumbfounded.

Is Lin Chen the son of Lin Yuan and Feng Lan?

A disciple personally taught by the master of the Hengshan Stone Cave in Nanyue?
Is his name Aunt Tang Li?
Tang Li, who usually ignores everyone, actually let him into the cave to talk...

Hey!
That kid has a really sweet tongue.

The cave dwelling was very simple; it was not even obvious that it belonged to a woman. It seemed that Tang Li's life consisted of simple cultivation.

"sit down."

Tang Li pointed to the stone bench and then asked, "Are you a disciple of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue?"

Lin Chen explained, "My father left behind a piece of Heavenly Revelation Jade, which served as the gateway to the Hengshan Grotto in Nanyue. I also had the opportunity to explore the fallen Liangchangshan Grotto..."

Lin Chen repeated what he had said to Tang Fenkong earlier.

Tang Li's expression showed slight surprise: "You were accepted as a personal disciple by the Stone Cave Master, that's truly your good fortune. You're following the Sword Bone path?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Tang Li asked, "How much of your sword bone have you refined?"

Lin Chen answered honestly: "64 bones in the upper limbs."

Tang Li nodded: "The path of sword bone is extremely difficult. Only those with great perseverance and great opportunities can succeed. However, once mastered, one will be completely transformed, becoming a different person with limitless potential. You should complete the sword bone tempering as soon as possible, as the effect of improving your realm will be even better."

Lin Chen nodded: "Senior sister also advised me to complete the full refinement of the sword bone before advancing my strength."

Tang Li nodded: "Yes, that's right. However, the path of sword bone is all about striving for perfection. Simply put, there is no best, only better. Refining the bones in your body into sword bones is the foundation and the most important thing. As for the subsequent tempering, that depends on opportunity and fate." Lin Chen blinked, slightly confused: "Tempering?"

Tang Li asked, "Didn't your senior sister tell you?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I guess my cultivation level isn't high enough, and I don't want to say too much, so I'm distracted."

Tang Li nodded and casually explained, "The sword bone is refined piece by piece. Refining is like using better materials to temper the sword bone, making its overall quality higher. To put it simply, a sword blank, although it has taken shape, has its quality limited. Then, better materials are added, and it is reforged with higher quality flames and better techniques. That is, refining, so that the sword blank can achieve a better quality."

"Sword bone refinement is not the same as ordinary sword blank refinement. It relies on some special opportunities, which are rare and hard to come by. As for the specifics, you can go back and ask your senior sister. I only have a slight understanding and can't say I understand it. However, since your sword bone is not yet formed, there is no need to rush."

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, I've got it."

Tang Li was silent for a few seconds: "Is your mother alright?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. Although there were some minor troubles, I've already taken care of them."

Tang Li raised an eyebrow slightly: "Trouble?"

Lin Chen briefly recounted what happened yesterday: "I suppose they'll be more careful in the future and won't act recklessly again."

Tang Li frowned slightly but did not comment: "Your father... has been missing for many years. It must be very difficult for her to be here alone. Aren't you going to take her away?"

Lin Chen sighed, "I mentioned it, but she refused. She couldn't bear to part with all the memories in that courtyard. The cave master gave me a pass token, and I will come to see her whenever I have time."

Tang Li nodded and said, "That's good. Knowing that you've grown up and are so successful will make her worry less."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then took out the three Heavenly Lotus seeds: "Aunt Tang, these are Heavenly Lotus seeds given to me by the Cave Master. They are said to be of great benefit to cultivation. I am offering them to you, please accept them, Aunt Tang."

Tang Li looked surprised: "This Heavenly Lotus is the Cave Master's treasure. He actually gave you lotus seeds?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Master's reputation is not mine."

Tang Li stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "This Heavenly Lotus is a divine object of the world, and there is only one pond of it in the world. Improving strength with the lotus seeds is a minor matter. It can enlighten the mind, enhance the ability to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and increase the probability of breaking through realms. People in the world seek a single lotus seed but cannot obtain it. You are about to reach the late stage of the Golden Core realm. With this, you will benefit endlessly. You actually gave it to me. Are you willing to part with it?"

Lin Chen's eyes were clear as he smiled slightly: "There are many divine objects in the world, but there is only one Aunt Tang..."
