The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 860: People will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.

Lin Chen sighed and reached out to pull Gu Yuexi into his arms.

"You silly girl, are you going to die here with me?"

Gu Yuexi nodded without hesitation: "If you can't get out, I'll stay here with you. Even if we die in the end, we'll die together."

After a pause, Gu Yuexi added, "I came into this world because of you. If you're no longer here, then everything will be meaningless."

Lin Chen comforted her, "How can it be meaningless? You still have your sister. She's still waiting for us in Penglai. Even if I can't get out, at least you can go out and tell her about me. It's not like you're just gone without a trace."

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "Since she knows I'm in Cangshan, she'll get there sooner or later, and she'll find out you found me sooner or later. Then we'll both be chased and disappear by the Crimson Dragon King. Let's just say we died at the hands of the Crimson Dragon King. It won't make any difference anyway."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Gu Yuexi, Lin Chen changed his tune and talked about his sword bones: "Don't be pessimistic, perhaps I will also have a chance to leave."

Gu Yuexi hugged Lin Chen, her eyes slightly red: "You don't need to comfort me. Every one of those people is a genius with unparalleled strength. It's just that they are not Five Elements Spiritual Bodies, so they can't absorb the Five Elements essence, and therefore they can't leave. You are not a Five Elements Spiritual Bodies either..."

Lin Chen explained, "I'm not lying to you. I cultivate the path of sword bones, which means refining all the bones in my body into sword bones. Each bone is equivalent to a magic sword. My dantian certainly can't withstand the five elements' essence, but my bones can."

"It says that the body must have enough of the five elements' essence, but it doesn't strictly say that it must be in the dantian. If my understanding is correct, as long as my sword bones absorb enough of the five elements' essence, I might have a chance to pass through that door."

Gu Yuexi was overjoyed: "Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm not lying to you. I'll be cultivating later, and you'll see that. How could I lie to you about that?"

Gu Yuexi immediately perked up, her face full of anticipation: "Then let's absorb the essence of the five elements together. Are you planning to absorb the essence of metal?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Earth essence is suitable for armor. My sword bone has two hundred and six swords. If I want the swords to be sharper and have higher attack power, I should naturally use metal essence. In short, prioritize metal essence and then consider other things."

The two of them circled around again, but they didn't see a single corpse. The entire Five Elements Immortal Palace was spotless, with nothing at all.

The two returned to the portal of light, staring blankly at it: "Did they all eventually enter the folding fan-shaped portal, leaving no trace of their remains?"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly: "Perhaps when they are not yet dead, they will try to hold on a little longer, but in the end they are going to die anyway. Who would just wait here to die? Even if they did not absorb the essence of the five elements, they would definitely step into the gate of light and take a gamble. What if they could get through?" Gu Yuexi smiled bitterly: "These people are all the pride of heaven and heroes of their own region. I never thought that in the end, they would not even leave behind a corpse. This is too tragic."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I was planning to grab some bargains, but I got nothing. My hopes are dashed."

After sighing for a while, the two prepared to begin their cultivation.

Gu Yuexi walked to the front of the wood essence, sat down cross-legged, and stood directly in front of the wood essence. The wood essence, which was heavier than a mountain, seemed to have no weight on Gu Yuexi.

Gu Yuexi's pupils suddenly turned dark green, and her whole body exuded the fresh scent of grass and trees, as if she had become a towering tree.

The Five Elements Spiritual Body is truly amazing!
Lin Chen secretly praised it in his heart, and then walked up to the essence of metal, carefully stretched out his palm, and gently intercepted a little bit of the essence of metal.

Even with just that thin strand, Lin Chen felt as if a tremendous weight had suddenly been placed on his hands, almost pressing him to the ground.

Lin Chen's body was made of sword bones, incredibly sturdy, but even he was pressed down by this wisp of golden essence, making cracking sounds, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

Lin Chen quickly followed the refining method given by Qiao Wei, absorbing the essence of metal into his body bit by bit, and then rapidly permeating it into a piece of sword bone.

Even a trace of golden essence seeping into the sword bone caused a noticeable improvement in its quality.

The universe is divided into five elements, and the fundamental essence is truly powerful!
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and endured it, absorbing the essence of metal into his body bit by bit, and then letting it seep into his bones.

After persisting for about ten minutes, Lin Chen was covered in sweat and exhausted. He quickly withdrew and left the golden essence.

Lin Chen plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. He looked back at Gu Yuexi, who was sitting quietly cross-legged in the essence of wood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away!

The contrast is so stark!
