The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 679 This guy is really annoying.
"If we include the nine-leaf ginseng, we might be able to get one piece; for the others, we'd be lucky to get half a piece."

Su Mubai's gaze was subtle, revealing a hidden hint of sympathy.

The Three-Foot Sword Curtain is indeed very powerful, but it requires too much cultivation resources!

As far as Su Mubai knew, Qiao Wei had gone to great lengths to earn spirit stones to buy Xuan Tie Wu Jing and other corresponding cultivation resources, using every trick in the book.

Leaving aside the normal ways of earning cultivation resources, such as entering secret realms to kill monsters and find spiritual herbs, she also gambles with people for spirit stones, engages in duels, borrows spirit stones from the cave master and then defaults on the debt, etc., making everyone afraid of her. Even the cave master, who used to like her very much, now gets a headache every time he sees her, and always has a sense of crisis that his wallet is about to shrink again.

Lin Chen is a newcomer from the mortal world. Although he has reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm at a young age, which is already considered a very powerful genius, he ultimately has no background. How can he earn such a massive amount of cultivation resources?
Although Qiao Wei is capable, she herself is in a mess and can barely save herself, so where would she find the resources to help her junior brother?
Aside from Qiao Wei, Lin Chen had to rely on himself. However, it was practically a pipe dream for him to gather the massive resources needed to cultivate a sword bone on his own!
Even if you manage to collect them little by little, how much time will that take?

Two hundred years?
Five hundred years?
She had already foreseen the disappointment that might appear on Lin Chen's face. After all, there were so many spiritual herbs, each of which was quite valuable, and all of them together could only buy one, or even half of one. Thinking about the road ahead, how could he not feel disappointed?
Lin Chen smiled.

"Not counting the nine-leaf ginseng, being able to buy half a ginseng is great."

Su Mubai stared blankly at Lin Chen's bright and confident smile.

How could he still laugh?

Was it because I didn't explain myself clearly enough?

Su Mubai couldn't help but remind him, "I won't go into the dangers of entering the secret realm. After all, we almost died when we encountered the tree demon this time, and you experienced it firsthand. What I want to say is that the reason you were able to gain so much from entering the secret realm this time is because the secret realm has just experienced the ten-year spiritual storm, which is why there are so many spiritual herbs. Once everyone has explored this first wave to a near end, it will be much more difficult to gain anything from it. It's not like you can have such a bountiful harvest every time you go in."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I know, and I know it will be even harder in the future, but it will always have a price. We can find a way to accumulate it slowly, so it won't be a long time coming. Besides, I've always been lucky, so there won't be any problems."

Su Mubai glanced at Lin Chen a few times, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's true. As long as you keep working hard, you'll eventually have everything you need."

After finishing his tea and settling the matter of the elixir, Lin Chen got up to take his leave.

"It takes some time to refine the pills. I'll send you a message once they're ready."

"it is good!"

Su Mubai escorted Lin Chen a long way, until Lin Chen took off on his sword and disappeared down the mountain, before turning back to his house. In the nearby forest, Murong Feng emerged on his sword, his handsome face ashen.

He is the son of the vice sect leader of the Flying Crane Sect and the most talented young disciple of Hengshan Cave in Nanyue. He has a special status, and everyone knows that he likes Su Mubai. So he often comes to see Su Mubai and can enter the mountain gate directly without having to announce his presence.

He came to find Su Mubai excitedly, originally wanting to tell Su Mubai that he had obtained permission to attend the upcoming Cultivation World Chamber of Commerce and could travel with Su Mubai.

After calling out to Su Mubai's residence for a long time without getting a response, he went back to inquire and learned that Lin Chen had arrived. Su Mubai accompanied Lin Chen around and they should have returned to their residence in the end!
The two of them are right there at my place, but they're ignoring me!
Murong Feng felt like his mind was going to explode!

The image of Lin Chen hugging Su Mubai's waist and Su Mubai pressing her body tightly against Lin Chen without any hesitation flashed into his mind. Thinking about what the two might do in the sealed residence, Murong Feng's eyes turned red.

He hid not far from Su Mubai's residence and waited there.

Watching Su Mubai escort Lin Chen a long way away, and staring at Lin Chen's back for a long time without looking away, Murong Feng was burning with jealousy and wished he could rush over and kill him immediately.

He endured it!

He knew that if he rushed out now, no matter what he said or did to Lin Chen, it would only make Su Mubai hate him even more.

Once Su Mubai returned to the formation, Murong Feng took off on his sword and chased after Lin Chen, rushing down the mountain.

As soon as Lin Chen left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Murong Feng caught up from behind.

"Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw Murong Feng's unfriendly expression. He immediately knew that this guy had probably been waiting outside and had seen him leave.

This guy, just as Su Mubai said, is indeed a bit annoying!
