The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 692 The blessed land is actually a refuge?

Cave No. 4

Lin Chen looked at the medicinal herb field in front of him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and revealed a satisfied smile.

He went to the general store and bought a large amount of specially refined spiritual soil, which he then spread all over the not-so-large medicinal field.

Spiritual soil contains abundant spiritual energy, and most importantly, it can absorb spiritual energy to provide nutrients for crops planted in it, allowing them to grow vigorously. In a sense, spiritual soil is similar to a life-giving pearl, but the effects are naturally worlds apart.

Lin Chen filled the small medicinal field with the various spiritual fruit tree seedlings and spiritual herb seeds he had bought.

The Life-Giving Pearl was placed in front of Mei Nu's Vajra Vine. The Water-Fire Mirror continuously spewed out pillars of spiritual energy, and the Life-Giving Pearl continuously absorbed the spiritual energy, instantly transforming it into a strong vitality, which quickly seeped into the spiritual soil and entered each of the spiritual herb seeds.

Time passed by, and the medicinal herb seeds sprouted, grew, broke through the spiritual soil, and grew outwards.

Lin Chen watched this scene with a sense of satisfaction.

After looking around for a while, Lin Chen got up and went to Wanbaofang, where he spent 10,000 spirit stones to buy a Spirit-Concealing Feather Robe. This was a magical artifact that resembled a gauze robe and could conceal strong fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Lin Chen acted cautiously, worried that the abundant spiritual energy in his herb field might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

As the Spirit-Concealing Feather Robe expanded, transforming into a thin veil that completely covered the small medicinal field, the intense fluctuations of spiritual energy instantly dissipated, becoming quite subtle.

Lin Chen was very satisfied.

The cave dwellings are all protected by protective formations. Unless someone launches a powerful attack, the outside cannot see the scenery inside. Now, even the only possible source of the leak—the fluctuations of spiritual energy—has been concealed by Lin Chen, making it virtually foolproof.

"Lin Chen."

A warning bell rang from the protective array, and at the same time, Su Mubai's crisp voice rang out from outside.

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He arrived outside the cave and activated the formation.

Su Mubai, dressed in flowing white robes, stood at the entrance of the cave with a smile on his face: "The pills are ready, I've brought them to you."

Lin Chen was overjoyed and invited Su Mubai into the cave.

“Miss Su, you could have just sent me a message. You’re helping me refine pills, how can I make you personally come all the way to deliver the medicine to me?”

Su Mubai smiled and said, "I was planning to come to the market to buy some things. It's on my way, after all, it's much easier to come and go from Feipu Peak."

What Su Mubai said was true. Flying Waterfall Peak not only housed countless independent cultivators who hadn't joined the four major sects, but it was also home to the largest trading market in the entire grotto-heaven. Furthermore, Qiao Wei disliked meddling in affairs, so Flying Waterfall Peak was completely open to everyone, unlike the four major sects, which were protected by arrays. To enter a sect, one had to go through the sect's gate, receive permission from a disciple, and be allowed entry. Su Mubai placed the refined Nine Ginseng Pills and Golden Marrow Pills on the table and smiled, "The quality of the spiritual herbs is excellent, and the resulting pills are also of very high quality. The effects should be 20% higher than ordinary pills."

"Thank you, Miss Su, you've been a great help to me."

Su Mubai smiled and said, "It was nothing, and I even received a reward for it."

After a pause, Su Mubai stared at Lin Chen with curiosity in his eyes: "I heard that you became Peak Master Qiao's junior brother?"

Lin Chen answered frankly: "Previously, Peak Master Qiao taught me the basics of the Three-Foot Sword Curtain. When facing the tree demon, Peak Master Qiao came and saw me using the basic method to fight against the tree demon's overwhelming attacks. He thought I was quite suitable to cultivate the Three-Foot Sword Curtain and prepared to teach me. Because I had some inheritance before, the cave master did not intend to take me as a disciple, so Peak Master Qiao told me to just call her Senior Sister."

Su Mubai's eyes lit up slightly: "This is great news. The Three-Foot Sword Curtain is incredibly powerful."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It is indeed impressive, but the amount of resources required for cultivation is considerable, and it is not easy to succeed."

Su Mubai encouraged, "Spirit stones can be earned slowly. I heard my father say that if you can develop a sword bone, it will be of great use for your future cultivation."

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, we'll earn it slowly."

Su Mubai thought for a moment and chuckled, "I'm going to accompany my father to a cultivator's market this time. I'll keep an eye out for Xuan Tie Wu Jing for you."

Lin Chen inquired, "Where is this market held? In some other blessed land?"

Su Mubai shook his head: "No, it's in the Wilderness Realm."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Where is that?"

Su Mubai replied, "The Wilderness Realm is actually what we call the Cultivation Realm. The Wilderness Realm and the Human Realm are not connected; they are two parallel worlds. Blessed Lands and Grotto-Heavens are the passages connecting the Wilderness Realm and the Human Realm. In fact, each Blessed Land and Grotto-Heaven is a passage."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "World Passage?"

Su Mubai chuckled and said, "That's right. Because of their special location, blessed lands have rich spiritual energy like the Wilderness Realm, but they are basically free of powerful and dangerous demonic beasts. They are very suitable for humans to live and cultivate. In contrast, the Wilderness Realm is full of ferocious and countless demonic beasts. Even cities guarded by powerful cultivators can be easily wiped out by powerful demonic beasts overnight, making it impossible to defend against them."

"To avoid danger, all the major cultivation sects preferred to place their sects in these world passages of varying sizes. Over time, the concept of 'Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands' came about. As the major sects occupied various passages, eventually ten major Grotto-Heavens, thirty-six minor Grotto-Heavens, and seventy-two Blessed Lands were formed..."

Lin Chen was dumbfounded. So that's how the concept of a blessed land came about.

The blessed land is actually a refuge for cultivators?
