The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1462 The Path to Immortality is Long and Winding, Cherish Every Step
"What is Fairy Ziyun's identity?"

"I do not know either."

Nalan Wushuang paused, her chopsticks still, and her gaze turned strange: "You don't even know who she is, and she's already your subordinate? How did you two meet?"

Lin Chen dared not reveal how he met Fairy Ziyun. If he were to be exposed, Fairy Ziyun might be so angry that she would strangle him.
“I was injured in a conflict with the Donglei Sect and hid in a mountain crevice to heal. Then she stole the Golden-Winged Roc’s egg and was chased by the Golden-Winged Roc. We met in the mountain crevice and helped each other. I told her I was a rogue cultivator, and she asked me to follow her and do things for her. I saw how powerful she was, so I agreed.”

Mutual assistance?

Nalan Wushuang smiled and didn't ask any further questions. In her opinion, Lin Chen had a strange and unusual set of skills that allowed him to do things that ordinary people couldn't do.

"I owe you more and more..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about this between us."

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Some things are better left unsaid.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel. At the door of the room, Nalan Wushuang turned her head and looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression.

During the meal, the two drank some wine. Nalan Wushuang's pretty face flushed slightly, making her look radiant and charming.

"Go to bed early."

"Ok!"

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips, stepped forward, and hugged Lin Chen.

This wasn't the first time she had hugged Lin Chen. On that day in the gang of robbers, in order to prove that she was Lin Chen's lover, she hugged Lin Chen in front of everyone and took close care of him. At that time, Lin Chen wasn't wearing any clothes.

Lin Chen wasn't surprised. He smiled and gently put his arm around Nalan Wushuang, patting her back softly.

"Keep it up, and surpass me soon!"

"Ok!"

Nalan Wushuang responded softly, then suddenly raised her head, tiptoed slightly, and kissed Lin Chen.

"good night!"

Nalan Wushuang released her hand, her face as red as the evening glow. She dared not look into Lin Chen's eyes again, and turned to enter the room.

"Boom!"

As the door closed in front of him, Lin Chen pursed his lips, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

This time, she kissed him on the lips.

Lin Chen paused for two seconds, then turned and went back to his room.

This kiss contained the joy of reunion, gratitude, and perhaps also the affection that had been buried deep in my heart.

Let's leave it at that for now.

The path to immortality is long, we'll talk about it later. The next day, Nalan Wushuang didn't linger any longer. After thanking Fairy Ziyun again, she left gracefully.

Fairy Ziyun hovered in mid-air, her tone leisurely: "Old flame?"

Lin Chen turned around and smiled, "Friend, but we've been through more things together."

Fairy Ziyun sneered: "Friends who kissed?"

Lin Chen blinked, not embarrassed at all: "It was just a momentary impulse."

Fairy Ziyun smiled and said, "You're quite shameless to have found such a fresh and unconventional reason. But you're a grown man, and the beautiful woman took the initiative, yet you just left without even thinking of going inside and developing the relationship?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I have a wife."

Fairy Ziyun looked somewhat surprised: "I've discovered that you have quite a few stories to tell. Tell me about them."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Let's get going first, I'll tell you about it when I have some free time, okay?"

Fairy Ziyun wasn't in a hurry: "Alright!"

Lin Chen asked, "Where do we go next?"

Fairy Ziyun said, "Go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Herbs."

Lin Chen asked, "What are the medicinal materials needed for the Nine-Turn Great Luo Pill?"

Fairy Ziyun smiled and said, "I heard that Wanyao Valley has a Green Lotus Fire Spring. I need this to hatch the Golden-Winged Roc egg. Of course, Wanyao Valley has all kinds of spiritual herbs, so I can also gather the medicinal materials needed for the Nine-Turn Great Luo Pill."

After a pause, Fairy Ziyun said, "Although you are now a Human Immortal, you should collect as many of these materials as you can when you come across them. After all, these materials are not simple. Besides, alchemy cannot guarantee a 100% success rate."

Lin Chen nodded: "Your alchemy skills also need to be improved."

Fairy Ziyun hummed in agreement: "Although you hold a high position in the White Crane Immortal Sect, the sect's alchemy skills are rather poor..."

Lin Chen naturally understood the White Crane Immortal Sect. In terms of strength, it was passable. Although it didn't have any Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, it still had peak Golden Immortals in charge. However, its expertise in alchemy was really not that great.

Although Lin Chen now has a foundation in alchemy and possesses powerful original alchemy scriptures, if he were to rely entirely on his own exploration, he would waste countless hours, take many detours, and the final outcome would be unpredictable.

"Fairy, do you have any good suggestions?"

Fairy Ziyun smiled and said, "The solution is simple: either become an apprentice or pay money to learn."

Lin Chen pondered for two seconds: "I have already joined the White Crane Immortal Sect, and my seniority is quite high. If I were to take on another master, it might be detrimental to the White Crane Immortal Sect... What kind of scheme is this, where I have to pay to learn a skill?"

"Paying money to learn a skill is just one way of saying it."

Fairy Ziyun casually replied, "By paying a certain price, you can have a master of alchemy teach you at your own pace. Since you have paid the price, it can only be considered a transaction. Naturally, there is no need to formally become a disciple, and there is no issue of seniority."

Lin Chen frowned and said with difficulty, "Experts in alchemy are certainly not lacking in immortal spirit stones. Who would teach a stranger for the sake of immortal spirit stones?"

Fairy Ziyun smiled slightly: "Masters of alchemy naturally have no shortage of immortal spirit stones, but you have something they want on you."
