The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 861 How can one leave empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain?
Lin Chen was originally worried that Gu Yuexi was stuck at the bottleneck of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and would not be able to break through. Wouldn't that be a waste of such a good opportunity?

Lin Chen was prepared that if she couldn't break through her cultivation level, he would give her the remaining Enlightenment Fruits. No matter what, he would help her break through.

As it turned out, Lin Chen's worries were unnecessary.

After sitting cross-legged for a day, Gu Yuexi successfully broke through her cultivation level and officially entered the Golden Core stage. Her strength then began to grow rapidly and relentlessly.

Lin Chen had previously cultivated in the spiritual spring of Yin Yang Valley, where his strength increased rapidly. This was the essence of heaven and earth, and its efficiency was much faster than cultivating in the spiritual spring of Yin Yang Valley.

Lin Chen was quite envious.

If Lin Chen could also absorb the essence of the five elements and possess the Enlightenment Fruit, as long as his luck wasn't too bad, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be a problem. He could easily cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage right here.

Unfortunately, he is not a Five Elements Spiritual Body.

Fortunately, the path of sword bones he followed was also extremely special, allowing him to directly use himself as a magical weapon for training. He could also absorb essence, but this essence was absorbed into each sword bone, rather than into his dantian.

Lin Chen's absorption of the essence of metal was not fast; after refining a weapon for ten minutes, he needed to rest for at least an hour.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. As long as he could absorb the essence, even if it was slow, he was sure he could complete the refinement of his entire body's sword bones.

Besides, if he absorbs enough essence, he might still have a chance to leave; if not, entering that door might mean certain death.

To survive, he had to fight desperately, absorbing as much vital energy as possible until he could absorb no more. At that point, whether he could escape would depend on fate.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuexi's continuous cultivation caused her strength to increase rapidly, and she directly reached the bottleneck of the Golden Core stage. This time, she was stuck.

Lin Chen took out the Enlightenment Fruit directly.

Gu Yuexi didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Chen. She was willing to die with Lin Chen, so there was no need to distinguish between them or their fates. They could face it together.

Like Lin Chen, Gu Yuexi ate three Enlightenment Fruits and spent more than eight days to complete another breakthrough, successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

If word got out that this speed of advancement was known, countless people would be green with envy.

After advancing to the next level, Gu Yuexi once again began frantically absorbing the essence of wood, striving to improve her strength.

Lin Chen spent forty days refining all the sword bones in his body with the essence of metal. Every single sword bone was filled with the essence of metal, and the quality of each sword bone was improved by at least one level. Not only were they harder, but when Lin Chen released his sword energy, the power of the sword energy was at least doubled, or even more! This power will be further amplified as Lin Chen's strength increases in the future.

After refining it once, Lin Chen began the second refinement.

As Lin Chen refined his sword bones, the amount of metal essence within them increased. Lin Chen seemed to have developed an adaptability to metal essence, and this adaptability was increasing. He absorbed metal essence faster and faster, and the duration of each cultivation session also increased.

Lin Chen only spent ten days refining it for the second time.

It wasn't just because he absorbed more essence each time and persisted for longer, but also because the amount he could absorb decreased during the second purification.

Each piece of sword bone contains ample essence of metal, like a sponge that has absorbed enough water to absorb no more.

Lin Chen turned his gaze to the essence of earth.

The essence of metal increases attack, the essence of earth increases defense. If the essence of metal can no longer be absorbed, then what about the essence of earth?
Give it a try.

Lin Chen moved to the earth essence and carefully began the third round of purification.

The result surprised Lin Chen!

Although the amount absorbed is not as much as the essence of metal, the sword bone can still absorb the essence of earth!
This is awesome!
Then keep inhaling, keep refining!

In the third round, Lin Chen spent twenty days making every bone in his body harder and stronger, no less than steel, and even harder and more resilient!
Lin Chen was very satisfied!
Lin Chen himself is a super magic weapon, a super cultivator composed of two hundred and six high-quality magic swords. He can completely rely on his body to fight against other people's flying sword magic weapons. He is a weapon in the human world!

Lin Chen wanted to try the other three types of essence, but found that he couldn't absorb even a single wisp, so he had to give up.

Looking at the endless flow of the five elements' essence, Lin Chen felt a strong urge to try it. It would be such a waste to go deep into a treasure mountain and come back empty-handed!

Lin Chen tried to use some containers to hold the Five Elements essence, but the containers all shattered instantly, unable to bear the weight that was as heavy as a mountain.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen took out the Water-Fire Mirror.

The Water-Fire Mirror can absorb water and fire, and it is considered a top-tier magic weapon, very powerful. So, can it absorb the essence of water and fire?

Will it just explode?
