The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 674 Why does the conversation feel a bit off?
"I'm still looking for something, you can go back first."

Qiao Wei took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Chen: "This is the advanced technique of the Three-Foot Sword Curtain. You can practice it first. However, the most important thing about the Three-Foot Sword Curtain is the sword bone. Only by training all the bones in your body into sword bones can you truly reach the mastery of the Three-Foot Sword Curtain. At that time, you will be an indestructible sword, and you can kill people with just your sword intent."

Lin Chen asked in shock, "What is sword bone?"

Qiao Wei casually raised her hand, pointing her fingertips at Lin Chen.

Qiao Wei did nothing, but Lin Chen felt an unsettling sharpness emanating from her fingers, as if they were about to pierce his head.

"This is the sword bone."

Qiao Wei lowered her fingers, smiled faintly, and the sharp feeling vanished instantly.

In that instant, Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat.

He was certain that it wasn't some kind of martial art, but rather that she herself was a sword with a sharp edge, capable of taking lives in an instant!
Lin Chen asked curiously, "How can one cultivate sword bones?"

Qiao Wei explained, "You train one bone at a time. There are 206 bones in the human body. Once you have trained them all, you are considered successful."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Senior Sister, have you completed the training of all your bones?"

Qiao Wei shook her head: "Not yet, I've only reached level 158 so far."

One piece is considered one layer?
Qiao Wei has already achieved such terrifying strength that she can overwhelm her peers even before she has fully mastered the technique. If she were to master it completely, how powerful would she be?
Lin Chen was quite tempted.

The scene where Qiao Wei was walking in the air and all the tree demon's tentacles that approached were automatically shattered by her sword energy was absolutely amazing and incredibly cool.

"Okay, senior sister, I will work hard in my cultivation."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Besides great perseverance, the cultivation of sword bones also requires a huge amount of resources. Each section of sword bone requires a piece of Myriad Profound Crow Essence, which is very expensive and extremely difficult to obtain. If you want to cultivate the Three-Foot Sword Curtain, you have to be prepared to be poor."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "Does each section of the sword bone need a piece?"

He had heard of the Myriad Profound Black Essence, a byproduct of ten-thousand-year-old black iron ore, which was extremely rare. Even a tiny amount added to the forging of a flying sword could greatly change its quality. However, Qiao Wei said that each section of the sword bone required a whole piece of Myriad Profound Black Essence.

Qiao Wei nodded: "Yes."

Lin Chen exclaimed in amazement, "Two hundred and six pieces of Myriad Profound Crow Essence, that could buy countless cities, right?"

Qiao Wei smiled wryly and said, "That's right, so your senior sister has always been poor. I can't even afford snacks. If you're so kind, get me some more good food."

The tone shifted abruptly, catching Lin Chen off guard. He paused for a second before replying, "I'll work hard to earn spirit stones to buy snacks for my senior sister!" But as soon as he said this, Lin Chen felt something was off.
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Okay, you can go back now."

Qiao Wei left gracefully. Lin Chen thought for a moment and then took out the Vajra Vine.

On the Vajra Vine, a small face showed a slightly indignant expression. She was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, but now she had been reduced to being a servant to a mere Golden Core cultivator in the early stage. She was truly unwilling to accept this.

What's more, it could be said that this kid was the one who had caused him such a terrible situation, and now he even controlled his life and death. The tree demon felt both angry and aggrieved.

Seeing her expression, Lin Chen laughed: "What, you're not convinced?"

The tree spirit said angrily, "I wouldn't dare. My life is in your hands now. If you want me to die, I will die. I wouldn't dare to disobey."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't care whether you agree or not. Just do whatever I ask you to do. I won't treat you unfairly if you help me."

The tree spirit muttered, "I'm currently fused with the Vajra Vine, and my strength is probably only at the Qi Refining stage for cultivators like you. I can't help you much."

Lin Chen said calmly, "Didn't Senior Sister say that as long as there are enough spiritual herbs, you can grow rapidly?"

The tree spirit hummed in agreement: "Yes, but the amount of that spiritual herb is not just a little bit, and the Vajra Vine also needs time to grow..."

Lin Chen smiled and took out several spiritual herbs from his spatial ring: "I have no shortage of spiritual herbs. As long as I enter the secret realm, I can find them anytime. As for growth, you don't need to worry. I have a way to make you grow quickly."

The tree spirit's eyes fell on those few spiritual herbs, its little face full of longing.

Although she was unwilling to risk her life for Lin Chen, who wouldn't want to become powerful? Besides, things had already come to this point, so risking her life for Lin Chen was inevitable. She was just feeling resentful for the time being.

"Here you go, take it."

The tree spirit's eyes lit up with joy. Several sharp twigs sprouted from the tip of the Vajra Vine and then pierced directly into the spiritual herb. An expression of immense pleasure appeared on its little face.

Seeing this, Lin Chen suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Mei Nu".

The tree spirit subconsciously answered, paused for two seconds, and then its tone became slightly more subtle: "My name is Mei Nu."
