The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 966 Some things are better done directly, without needing to be said.

Lin Chen rode the flying shuttle at breakneck speed, and after a month, he finally arrived at Death Valley in Donghuang Prefecture.

During his journey, Lin Chen stopped in a large city for half a day, where he purchased a Danhuo Ring and a condensed core magma fire, spending a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Fortunately, he had sold a large amount of spirit stones from the Three Ghosts Sect's treasury items, making Lin Chen a veritable little tycoon.

For the past month, Lin Chen has been honing his alchemy skills on the flying shuttle, making rapid progress.

At this point, Lin Chen might not be considered a skilled alchemist, but ordinary pills were no longer a challenge for him. Moreover, his refining techniques were proficient, resulting in a high success rate and high quality of pills.

Lin Chen began to study the many advanced techniques in the Great Luo Pill Scripture, but these techniques were all profound and difficult to understand, and could not be understood in just a few days.

As for the other types of pills, their miraculous effects made Lin Chen envious, but just looking at the raw materials for refining them was enough to make people hesitate.

The auxiliary ingredients of these pills may be precious, but they can be purchased on the market with spirit stones. However, their main ingredients are all rare and exotic fruits that only exist in legends and cannot be purchased with spirit stones at all.

Lin Chen spent some time locating the cultivator camp located east of Death Valley.

Giant ships dotted the ground, rows of war chariots floated in the air, forming a continuous formation, countless savage beast mounts roared, and banners fluttered like a forest...

Lin Chen was horrified when he saw it from afar.

What a grand occasion!
Just how many sects and how many cultivators have come?
Lin Chen took out the jade pendant and activated the array contained within it to check if there were any disciples of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue around, but he found nothing.

None of them came?
Lin Chen was slightly disappointed. After all, each of them was extremely powerful. With them around, wouldn't he have a strong backer?

Lin Chen took out the communication stone again and sent messages to Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi, but again there was no response.

Lin Chen frowned immediately.

He asked a few people casually and learned that the people from Penglai had already arrived.

After Lin Chen ascertained the location, he found the flying boat to Penglai. After his disciple reported this, he successfully met with Chen Meifeng, the sect leader of the Xuanfeng Sect.

When Chen Meifeng saw Lin Chen, her gaze became slightly subtle: "Lin Chen, you're here too."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Come and see, Sect Leader Chen, has Jiaxue arrived?"

Chen Meifeng shook her head: "She is recovering from her injuries and didn't come this time."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "How did you get injured? Is it serious?"

Chen Meifeng sighed and said, "She was injured in the battle against An Ziwu for the title of Son of Penglai. She used a special move that she hadn't fully mastered and fought desperately against An Ziwu, which caused a severe backlash. Fortunately, she only needs a few months of rest to recover." Lin Chen frowned: "She lost the battle for the title of Son of Penglai?"

Chen Meifeng said with a regretful expression, "She failed at the last hurdle. In the end, she was too young and her strength was a level below An Ziwu's. Although she tried her best, but..."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly; in the end, he had lost.

Last time in the True Dragon Secret Realm, I wanted to mess with An Ziwu, but unfortunately I never ran into him. I was too busy escaping to have a chance.

"So what's going on now?"

Chen Meifeng's expression was slightly helpless: "We lost. What can we do? In the world of cultivators, it's always the winner who takes all. The cave master has already designated An Ziwu as the son of Penglai and has begun to focus on cultivating him."

Lin Chen nodded: "Where's Jiaxue?"

Chen Meifeng's gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, her expression calm: "He'll be recuperating for now, and I estimate that he'll mainly focus on cultivating the Heart Sutra of the Maiden for the time being. There won't be any major changes. But if it goes on for a while, and An Ziwu secures his position as the Son of Penglai and performs well enough, then it's hard to say."

Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

Can't tell?
Once Chu Jiaxue has mastered the Heart Sutra of the Maiden, she will be designated as a Daoist partner to An Ziwu.
Lin Chen asked, "Did An Ziwu come this time?"

Chen Meifeng stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "He's here."

Lin Chen nodded without saying anything: "Okay, thank you, Sect Leader Chen!"

Chen Meifeng nodded and said, "This place isn't far from Penglai. Why don't you go and visit Jiaxue?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Since Sect Leader Chen has said that she is fine, I will not go there for the time being. I won't be of any help anyway. I should focus on this operation for now and go see her after I'm done with this."

Chen Meifeng pressed further, "Has anyone from your sect come?"

Lin Chen gave a vague answer: "I came alone from Xihou Prefecture. I'm not sure if they will come, but I think they wouldn't miss such a grand event."

Chen Meifeng nodded and sighed softly, "I always thought highly of Jiaxue, but she still lost in the end. It's such a pity."

Lin Chen didn't respond.

He understood Chen Meifeng's subtext, but some things, once spoken, can easily become the subject of gossip.

Some things, if you want to do them, just do them, no need to say anything!
Let's finish it first!
