The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1438 Put down the Nine Dragon Immortal Lotus, and I'll let you go!
The news from Tingfengzhai wasn't exactly exclusive, but it was a comprehensive summary. However, this information didn't have much practical significance for Lin Chen.

Many things have already happened, and even if you know them, it won't change anything.

Even the most powerful beings cannot travel through time and return to a previous point in time.

The news about a Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus less than a hundred years old was inconspicuous among all the other news, but it caught Lin Chen's attention.

The Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus is a very special type of lotus because it does not produce seeds and cannot be used in medicine, but its lotus flowers can be used to refine magical artifacts.

Using the lotus flower of the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus as the main material, and mixing in other substances, one can refine the super powerful defensive magic weapon, the Nine Dragons Lotus Platform!
The Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus is a rare and exceptional variety of lotus, an extremely precious natural treasure. However, it cannot be transplanted and has an extremely slow growth cycle.

It takes a thousand years for the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus to grow to full size before it can bloom, and another two thousand years to reach the level where it can be used to refine the Nine Dragons Lotus Platform. Before that, it has little use.

They either fully mature and become incredibly precious, or they don't mature and become completely useless.

Compared to the long cycle of three thousand years, the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus, which is less than a hundred years old, is naturally not valued. At most, people will mark it and record its location so that they can go and wait to harvest it when the time is almost here.

This is the Black Stone Mountains, teeming with monsters. It's clearly unrealistic to send people to guard this place for three thousand years just for a Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus.

Lin Chen left the market and headed straight for the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus.

The Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus is located in a valley, where the spiritual energy is abundant. A stream flows down from the mountain, forming a deep pool, where the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus grows.

At this time, the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus had only grown a few lotus leaves. Lin Chen first set up an array in this canyon to conceal the scenery below and prevent huge fluctuations in spiritual energy.

After everything was settled, Lin Chen took out the Life Pearl and began to accelerate its ripening.

The celestial energy was injected into the Life Pearl and transformed into a large amount of vitality, which was quickly absorbed by the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus. Soon, the slightly curled lotus leaves of the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus began to unfurl, and the light green color began to deepen.

effective!
Lin Chen calmed down and focused on transforming the immortal energy into the Nine Dragon Immortal Lotus through the Life-Giving Pearl.

This is a rather long period of time.

Even though the Life Pearl has the function of accelerating growth, it cannot mature so quickly with a growth period of three thousand years.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry; after all, a year or two of seclusion for cultivation was nothing. As time went on, the Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus grew wildly from its seedling stage, quickly filling the huge deep pool. Each lotus leaf was enormous, possessing the magnificent momentum of "lotus leaves reaching the sky, an endless expanse of green."

A giant flower bud finally slowly bloomed. The lotus flower was over ten meters in diameter, and each petal shimmered with seven colors, making it appear solemn and sacred. The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, making people want to immerse themselves in it and never wake up.

When the Nine Dragon Immortal Lotus fully matured, a seven-colored radiance shot into the sky, as if a divine object had been born. Fortunately, Lin Chen had set up an array beforehand, which blocked the radiance within the array, but the radiance and aura still overflowed.

"It's finally ripe..."

Before Lin Chen could finish his exclamation, a fierce and powerful aura suddenly appeared, and then a huge object crashed into the formation that Lin Chen had set up.

The array Lin Chen set up was only meant to conceal his aura; it was no match for such a bombardment and shattered instantly.

The entire valley and deep pool that Lin Chen had concealed were instantly exposed to the sunlight. At the entrance of the valley, a giant white ape at least two hundred meters tall was staring at them. On its shoulder stood a young man, and behind him, two white-haired old men floated on either side.

The three people and the ape all focused their attention on the giant lotus flower in the deep valley, and then exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus!"

The young man on the white ape's shoulder laughed heartily: "No wonder Bai Qi kept running this way, we couldn't stop him, hahaha..."

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly, but he did not panic.

The Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus was now fully mature. With a flick of his wrist, the enormous lotus broke off from its stem, floated up, and landed in Lin Chen's hand. Lin Chen then stored it directly into his spatial ring.

The young man smiled and said, "Friend, put down that Nine Dragons Immortal Lotus, and we won't make things difficult for you. You can leave on your own."

Lin Chen calmly replied, "On what grounds?"

The young man laughed and said, "Although the Blackstone Mountains are located in a remote area, they are within the territory of our Winter Thunder Sect. We marked that Nine Dragon Immortal Lotus a long time ago and have been quietly waiting for it to mature. We originally thought it would take some time before it was fully mature, but we didn't expect it to mature ahead of schedule. We are late..."

Lin Chen laughed: "The Black Stone Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Even the Boundless Sword Sect doesn't dare to claim that the Black Stone Mountains are within its sphere of influence, and it doesn't allow other cultivators to come here to take risks or gather resources. Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration for your Winter Thunder Sect to say that?"
