The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3678 Unrequited Love: Lan Shuiying
"The Spirit of the Great Dao!"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "The more the better, if possible."

Yu Qianfan wasn't surprised by Lin Chen's request. After all, Lin Chen, being a Five Elements Spirit Root, needed five portions of Dao Spirit to advance. It was reasonable for him to ask for Dao Spirit when Yu Qianfan had him make the request.

Yu Qianfan nodded: "Our Tianhe Sect has not yet had the opportunity to obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao. You have made great contributions this time, and you will definitely have a lot of merit points. If there is a Spirit of the Great Dao next time, it should be able to be given to you."

"Snow Phoenix Palace and Peach Blossom Palace are sacred places, so it should be much easier to obtain the spirit of the Great Dao. They might even have some in stock. If the situation is right, I will bring it up."

"Besides this, do you have any other needs? After all, the spirit of the Great Dao may not necessarily have them..."

Lin Chen was about to say that he didn't need anything else, since he didn't lack cultivation resources. Exchanging the favor of saving someone for cultivation resources would be the most unwise thing to do. But then he thought again, weren't he still missing two kinds of materials?
"I need the two materials: the blood of the sacred phoenix and the myriad butterfly flower. Even if I don't have them, reliable information would be helpful."

Yu Qianfan nodded: "I've got it. What's it for?"

"Let's make medicine."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I don't know the specifics. I found it for a friend. I promised to find it for him."

Lin Chen wasn't lying. Didn't he promise the Creation God to help him find medicinal herbs and refine the Fire Phoenix Flower Dew?
Yu Qianfan nodded: "Okay, I'll ask the sect disciples to help me find out later."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Sect Master."

This matter was not complicated for Yu Qianfan. He only needed to give an order to collect these two medicines as a sect mission and offer a high reward. All the sect disciples traveling outside would naturally take the initiative to pay attention and inquire about it.

Even if we can't get the information, as long as we find out about it, it's fine; there's no danger involved.

For Lin Chen, the elevation of the sect's status would naturally be of great benefit to him.

No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than another sect?
Besides, his identity is a major flaw, causing many inconveniences, but by adopting the identity of the Heavenly Crane Sect, many obstacles are eliminated.

The many saints of the Heavenly Crane Sect looked at Lin Chen, who was whispering with the sect leader, and their expressions were filled with excitement and agitation.

Although Lin Chen's great achievement was his personal accomplishment, he was still a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect, and the Snow Phoenix Palace and Peach Blossom Palace owed him a great debt of gratitude.

With this favor, if Tianhe Sect encounters any problems in the future, they might be able to ask Xuefeng Palace and Taohua Palace for help. Considering today's situation, and as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the two palaces, they can't very well refuse.

Putting everything else aside, once today's events spread, those who want to target the Heavenly Crane Sect, such as the Azure Python Sect, will probably have to consider the possible attitudes of the Snow Phoenix Palace and the Peach Blossom Palace.

What if Tianhemen asks the two palaces for help, and the two palaces agree to help out of consideration for human relationships?

In the eleventh district, who can afford to provoke the two holy lands of Snow Phoenix Palace and Peach Blossom Palace joining forces?
Xi Yunlang had wanted to chat with Lin Chen for a long time, but seeing Lin Chen chatting with Yu Qianfan, he was too embarrassed to come and disturb them. He waited until Lin Chen returned before he came up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Lin Chen asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Xi, you seem to be injured. Are you alright?"

Xi Yunlang smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. You were a great help this time. If it weren't for you, we would have been in big trouble."

Lin Chen said modestly, "With the two holy lands joining forces and so many saints, even without me, we would definitely be able to get through this safely." Xi Yunlang waved his hand, "Don't flatter us. There are only thirty or forty of us with one or two hundred Heavenly Demons. How could we possibly get through this safely? If it weren't for you, we might have been able to escape some of our people, but at least more than half of us would have been killed or injured, or even more."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why did you two major forces end up together?"

"Isn't it because of the circumstances that they forced us to be like this?"

Xi Yunlang replied helplessly, "We used to work in groups of three, with each group supporting the other. Things were going well until later when we encountered more and more Heavenly Demons in groups. Our groups started to move closer together and merge, and then we encountered a large group of Heavenly Demons."

“We didn’t fight them head-on, but chose to retreat directly. During the retreat, we encountered people from Peach Blossom Palace. Their situation was similar to ours; they were also being hunted down. We temporarily cooperated to fight off the pursuers.”

"Originally, there weren't that many Heavenly Demons, and we could still put up a fight. But as the battle began, many Heavenly Demons came from all directions and surrounded us."

Xi Yunlang was still shaken: "Fortunately, these demons seemed to have their own squads or forces. The demons that attacked us were the ones who chased us first. The later demons did not join the battle; they just surrounded the perimeter, preparing to capture and kill those who wanted to escape."

"The elder was preparing to break through, but I felt that many people would die during the breakout, which is why I asked you for help. Fortunately, thanks to your help, although we suffered many injuries, no one perished. This is a great stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

Lin Chen nodded: "Our experience is similar to yours. I used to travel with three or four people, but later I didn't dare to anymore and started traveling with the main group of the sect."

Xi Yunlang laughed and said, "With you here, no one in the Heavenly Crane Sect should perish, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yeah, fight if you can win, run if you can't, everyone's fine."

Xi Yunlang sighed: "Your supernatural power is truly useful. It's a pity you've already joined the Heavenly Crane Sect. Otherwise, with today's rescue and my introduction, you could have joined the Snow Phoenix Palace and held a very important position..."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, his expression calm: "The Heavenly Crane Sect is quite good. The sect leader said when he entered the outer realm that he would remove the restraints on me after we returned."

Xi Yunlang's eyes lit up, but then he smiled helplessly.

"Without these constraints, you'd be even less likely to leave the Heavenly Crane Sect, right?"

Lin Chen replied, "Although the Heavenly Crane Sect isn't particularly strong, it's enough for me. As long as I'm comfortable here, that's fine. After all, it's not easy for an alien race to have a comfortable living environment."

Although Xi Yunlang was disappointed, he had no choice but to agree with Lin Chen's statement.

Xi Yunlang decided to go back and have another talk with the sect leader to see if he could offer better and more secure terms to attract Lin Chen to join Xuefeng Palace.

As the two were chatting, Lan Shuiying, the tall and elegant saintess of Peach Blossom Palace, dressed in a light blue robe, walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Lin Chen turned his head: "Lin Chen, who are you?"

Xi Yunlang introduced with a somewhat strange expression: "The Holy Maiden of Peach Blossom Palace, Lan Shuiying."

Lin Chen glanced at Xi Yunlang, a strange expression flashing across his face for a moment.

Is this the extraordinary woman you couldn't win over, and who even got a scolding, making you a laughingstock?
