The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 836 There are many things you can't afford to gamble on.

"I have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but I've hit a bottleneck."

Qiao Wei said incredulously, "Before we came, you had just entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm. The late stage of the Golden Core realm is not the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm. Don't get it wrong!"

Lin Chen chuckled and recounted how he had hidden in the pool to cultivate quietly in order to avoid the Golden Lion, eventually reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

Qiao Wei stared at Lin Chen for a long time before finally sighing helplessly, "You brat, you really have some luck."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It was all thanks to my senior brother's magic seal that my aura was concealed. Otherwise, with the golden lion right above my head, I would have been dead."

"So you were lucky. No matter what, you just happened to be able to avoid it."

Qiao Wei sighed, and Xuanji pointed out, "Now that you have reached the Great Perfection, the Enlightenment Fruit will come in handy. After you have completely refined your sword bone, you can try to eat the Enlightenment Fruit to break through your realm."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Can I break through the bottleneck and advance directly?"

Qiao Wei rolled her eyes at Lin Chen: "It's not that easy. It's just to help you comprehend and increase the probability of a breakthrough. If someone is stupid, giving them any amount of help won't help. But if someone has enough talent, it can lend them a hand and let them sense the door to breaking through the barrier."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, and was overjoyed.

This is like a perfect pillow for someone who's sleepy!

Breaking through that door is achievable with perseverance, but finding that door is extremely difficult. You could say that touching that door means you've already succeeded more than halfway through the breakthrough.

"Is one enough?"

Qiao Wei replied, "As I just said, it's all about probability. If one doesn't work, keep going. Stop when you succeed. As for how many you need, that depends on your luck."

Lin Chen was slightly disappointed: "So, it's possible that eating just one will work, but it's also possible that even after eating nine, I still won't succeed, right?"

Qiao Wei poked Lin Chen's chest with her finger and scolded him in an annoyed tone, "Don't look so disappointed. Do you know how difficult it is to break through a realm? Even just from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, a cultivator with limited talent may never be able to cross that threshold in their entire life. Even those with great talent can be stuck for ten or eight years, or even several decades, which is perfectly normal. Not to mention those above Nascent Soul. These nine fruits will save you a lot of time. You should be content."

Lin Chen asked, "How about you take a few, Senior Sister?"

"No."

Qiao Wei refused without hesitation, saying, "I've just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and I don't know how long it will take to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. It's useless for me to have it now. You should eat it as soon as possible and advance to the peak so you don't get beaten up everywhere."

Getting beaten up everywhere?

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed; those words were too hurtful to his self-esteem.

Why did they have to face elite geniuses and top-tier players before they even left the beginner village?
How can I avoid getting beaten up?
If it were someone the same age, let's see who beats whom!
"Alright then, I'll keep it for now. If you need it when you reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, I'll give it to you then." Qiao Wei nodded: "We'll talk about it later. Let's pack up and go back."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Aren't you waiting for Senior Brother?"

Qiao Wei laughed and said, "Senior Brother isn't going back to Nanyue. He's always wandering around. Don't worry about him. I estimate they'll go back into Yin Yang Valley to explore the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Even if it's unlikely, they definitely won't just leave like that."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, it's an event for the big shots, so I, a nobody, won't participate."

What else are we involved in?
The Human Emperor Scripture, the most valuable treasure for human cultivators, is already in your hands. Why don't you hurry up and make a run for it?
Lin Chen and Qiao Wei embarked on their journey home, visiting the nearest city and inviting Lu Daoren along the way. The three of them returned to Hengshan in Nanyue.

The journey was uneventful, and we arrived safely.

Lin Chen let Lu Daoren stay at the market, while he followed Qiao Wei to see his master, Shi Changsheng.

After listening to their story, Shi Changsheng's usually indifferent face showed surprise.

"The Demon Emperor's heir is actually your father?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, but his current state is very strange, and we don't know what the future holds. I would like to bring my mother from Kunlun Mountain back to Feipu Peak to live. Please grant my request, Master."

"can."

Shi Changsheng first agreed to Lin Chen's request, then pondered for a moment before throwing out two jade slips: "These are the Human Emperor Scripture, Human Scroll and Earth Scroll. Take a look. Whether you practice them or not is not important, but you can try to comprehend them. Since the Demon Emperor's successor is your father, you may have the opportunity to come into contact with the Heaven Scroll in the future."

The Heavenly Scroll is already in my spatial ring.

Lin Chen muttered to himself, but didn't dare say it aloud. He didn't know how big a crisis or danger this would bring if the matter were exposed.

Ascending to immortality is an irresistible temptation for cultivators!

Qiao Wei once said that her master, Shi Changsheng, didn't care about worldly affairs, but his only pursuit was to ascend to immortality.

He chose to believe his father and told no one else.

A father would never harm his child.

As for the master?

As my senior sister once said, cultivators have their own opportunities, which they should keep to themselves and don't need to tell others, not even their closest friends.

When it comes to human nature, there are many things you can't afford to gamble on!
