The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2549 Why should this opportunity be given to Lin Chen?
As soon as Lin Chen stepped out the door, he saw Shangguan Wenyin standing not far away on the side of the corridor.

This kid has some tricks up his sleeve.

It's likely that one of Yuwen's trusted confidants responsible for security chose to betray the Yuwen family and follow Fan Tianxing. Otherwise, how could Shangguan Wenyin stand wherever he wanted?
He's staying here waiting for an opportunity to discuss it with me.

To others, Lin Chen appeared to be pacing and deep in thought, but in reality, he was having a very quick chat with Shangguan Wenyin, who was not far away.

"Senior is here too?"

"exist."

"You intend to target the Yuwen and Wei families?"

"The leaders of the Yuwen and Wei families are all present at this gathering, including the vice leader Wei Deyuan. We don't understand why they are gathering, and we are looking for an opportunity to take action and take down these two families."

"Take them down? Not annihilate them?"

"Yes, take him down. Now we need to consolidate more power. Even if we need to cleanse or reorganize, that will be something to do after we take him down."

"You have many powerful individuals?"

"Yes, Dean Wu supports the senior, along with a group of strong members of the Elder Council. However, the Wei and Yuwen families have far more experts than expected this time. If we act rashly, we may not be able to take them all down, and the news will definitely leak out."

"They might have ulterior motives for meeting, I don't know. What I do know is that they will work together to explore a small world. That world contains the Heavenly Mysterious Divine Water and is guarded by powerful demonic beasts, so they will have enough strong people to enter."

"A secret realm?"

"If you want to take action, the secret realm is a good place. At least no one can escape there, and the probability of news leaking out is very low."

Shangguan Wenyin knew Lin Chen's character very well, and upon hearing Lin Chen's words, he understood Lin Chen's purpose.

"You want to enter the secret realm for the Heavenly Mystic Divine Water?"

"Yes, I'm having trouble figuring out how to steal the Heavenly Secret Divine Water right under their noses. Since you're also thinking about this, why don't we cooperate?"

Shangguan Wenyin immediately understood: "I might not be able to enter the secret realm from here. If you quietly lead us into the secret realm, you will obtain the Heavenly Secret Mystic Divine Water?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, how about it?"

Shangguan Wenyin agreed without hesitation: "Deal!"

The two quickly discussed a few points, and then Lin Chen stopped pacing and returned to the alchemy room.

He has to win!
Only by winning this match can he be guaranteed to follow the many experts into the secret realm.

Lin Chen pondered for three days, virtually refining pills countless times. He had already simulated pill refining in his mind countless times, and many possible problems had been solved in advance. All that was left was to practice.

There will definitely be mistakes in the practical operation; it all depends on whether Lin Chen's ability to correct them is strong enough.

Upon seeing Lin Chen open the furnace, the two supervising alchemists became tense.

The furnace is finally open. Can he handle it?

"boom!"

The furnace exploded!
The first batch exploded when the refining process was about halfway complete.

Refining failed!

Although he knew that furnace explosions were normal, the Wei family alchemist in charge of supervision still looked frustrated, while the Yuwen family alchemist couldn't hide his joy.

Well fried!

There are still two batches of materials left. You only need to fry the oven twice, and you're doomed to lose!
Lin Chen remained calm, tidied up the alchemy furnace, closed his eyes and pondered for several hours before opening the furnace again.

"boom!"

A muffled crackling sound came from the furnace. When the furnace was opened, all the medicinal herbs inside had turned into black ash, and a foul odor wafted out.

The alchemist from the Yuwen family was beaming with delight!

Fried perfectly, fried wonderfully, fried to perfection!
keep going!
There's one more chance!

The Wei family alchemist's face darkened even further.

Although he was not as capable as Lin Chen, he was still very dissatisfied with Lin Chen representing the Wei family.

How old is Lin Chen? Is his alchemy skill really that strong?

Okay, even if he is very good at refining one or more kinds of pills, even surpassing other alchemists in the Alchemist Garden, how much experience does he have in comprehending pill formulas?

No matter how experienced he is, can he compare to Yuwen Zhao, who is many years older?

At the very least, Steward Qin should have come. Even if Steward Qin didn't come, there were several other veteran alchemists.

Why did it have to be Lin Chen's turn?
Isn't this a suicide?
Lin Chen remained calm. After cleaning the alchemy furnace, he closed his eyes again and sat there for another half day.

The second alchemy process was almost complete, but it still exploded, prompting Lin Chen to ponder the cause of the explosion.

There shouldn't be any problems in the simulation, right?
Lin Chen analyzed each medicinal herb one by one, considering all possible factors. Finally, half a day later, he came up with a possibility.

When all other possibilities have been ruled out, the only possibility must be the truth!

Lin Chen opened his eyes again, his gaze resolute, and silently began refining pills once more.

The two supervisors tensed up, but the Yuwen family alchemist was filled with schadenfreude and anticipation, while the Wei family alchemist was tense and desperate.

Lin Chen sat for so long this time, and the time was almost up before he started refining pills for the last time. It was clear that he had no choice but to take one last gamble.
But how can you gamble on alchemy?
It's all about technique. If you have the technique, you'll succeed naturally. If you don't have the technique, you'll still fail even if you try a hundred times!
Lin Chen will probably fail again this time, right?
