The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 643 How about we try our luck in the secret realm?
"No one gets rich without unexpected wealth."

Lin Chen turned around, made a joke, and then asked, "If you beat up the small fry, the big ones will come. I beat up Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu, and Gu Li came. If I beat up Gu Li, will someone else come?"

Situ Xiu replied, "Gu Li has some friends, but their strength is not much stronger than his. The only one who might stand up for him is Zhou Kai. He is a disciple of the Flying Crane Sect and is at the Golden Core Realm. However, the fact that you can stay in Cave No. 4 has a lot of significance in itself. As long as Zhou Kai has any sense, he will not rashly attack you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I have never met the Peak Master."

Situ Xiu smiled slightly: "But the peak master must know that you are different from others, otherwise, even if you are a Golden Core cultivator, she would not have given you the No. 4 cave dwelling."

Perhaps it's because he is Liu Sansheng's disciple?
Lin Chen asked, "You said I'm at the Golden Core stage?"

Situ Xiu chuckled: "They may not be sure, but I am very sure."

Lin Chen chuckled, but didn't ask how he could tell. Cultivators always have some mysterious abilities, just like how the cave master Shi Changsheng recognized him as a Golden Core cultivator at first glance.

This Situ Xiu must have some differences from ordinary cultivators.

"For every person who causes you trouble, do you take something as a price?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's just a side job. I usually take his life. I have a nickname in the mortal world: the professional exterminator. That means I wipe out all the high-ranking cultivators in a family, killing or crippling them, and erasing that family from the cultivation world..."

Sima Xiu stared wide-eyed at Lin Chen in shock: "How many sects did you destroy to earn such a title?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Actually, it's not many. In half a year, we only wiped out five or six."

Situ Xiu suddenly smiled: "Your personality is very suitable for a cultivator."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Situ Xiu replied, "Cultivators plunder the spiritual energy of the weather, treasures, and all cultivation resources to ultimately strengthen themselves. Simply put, cultivators walk a path that defies the heavens. Your decisiveness and willingness to act without hesitation when necessary is excellent. In cultivation, one's character is often very important. Without such decisiveness, how can one defy the heavens?"

Lin Chen casually smiled and said, "I have no intention of provoking anyone. I'm just trying to protect myself. After all, if I don't kill them, they'll kill me, so it's better for them to die." Situ Xiu laughed heartily, "That makes sense."

The two chatted as they arrived at the cave. Lin Chen invited Sima Xiu inside and offered her drinks from the human world, which she enjoyed immensely.

Is there a shortcut to spiritual practice?

Situ Xiu smiled and said, "Of course there are. Rare and precious materials, elixirs and all kinds of unique opportunities. To become a powerful cultivator, one must have these experiences. Otherwise, relying solely on one's own hard work and cultivation would take countless years. However, these things are often in high demand, or require luck and fortune, and are accompanied by many dangers. Therefore, cultivators are defying fate and changing their destiny. Although there are many cultivators, few can achieve great success."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is the strength of the cave master? And what is the strength of the peak master?"

Situ Xiu replied, "The cave master's strength is said to be at the Void Realm, and the peak master's strength is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. There is a Divine Transformation Realm in between. You know the difference between realms, right? Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Void Realm, and then there is the Tribulation. If you succeed in the Tribulation, you will ascend to immortality as legend has it."

Lin Chen nodded. He was invincible in the mortal realm at the Golden Core stage, but he was far inferior in the cultivation world.

"I'm new here. Do you have any good advice for my spiritual practice?"

Situ Xiu thought for a moment: "Why don't we go check out the secret realm? The Spiritual Storm in the secret realm just ended recently. After each storm, there are always all sorts of opportunities, just like going beachcombing after the tide comes in. If we're lucky, we might get some good stuff..."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is a Spirit Rhinoceros Storm?"

Situ Xiu explained, "It's a natural phenomenon. The spiritual energy surges like a storm, sweeping across the entire secret realm. Moreover, there are things in the storm that are extremely dangerous to cultivators. Therefore, during the storm, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, they must avoid it, otherwise they can easily die inside. However, after this natural phenomenon ends, countless rare and precious materials or valuable demonic beasts will emerge..."

Lin Chen barely understood and asked, "How long will this storm last?"

Situ Xiu replied, "The duration of each Spirit Rhinoceros Storm is unpredictable. The longer it lasts, the greater the potential benefits. This Spirit Rhinoceros Storm has lasted for ten years, which is already a very long time. Right now, all the cultivators in the entire cave are eager to enter the secret realm and try their luck. You are already at the Golden Core stage. As long as you don't go too deep, your safety shouldn't be a problem..."
