The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 947 The Underground Palace Formation? Something's not right.

"You're at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Even if you're not considered a strong person in the cultivation world, you're already quite powerful for ordinary people. Surely you're not going to starve?"

Zhang Lin explained with a wry smile, "My mother was born weak, and then there was an accident when she gave birth to me. Although she was lucky enough to survive, she was left with a chronic illness and needs to take jade marrow liquid regularly, otherwise her body will weaken rapidly until she dies."

"Jade Marrow Liquid isn't a top-tier treasure, but it's still difficult for me to obtain enough of it. My talent is limited, so I cherish this opportunity to learn alchemy. Once I become an alchemist, even if I just help others refine pills and earn commissions, it will be enough for me to buy a sufficient amount of Jade Marrow Liquid."

After listening, Lin Chen encouraged him, "As long as you reach the Golden Core stage, earning spirit stones to buy Jade Marrow Liquid won't be a problem. Keep it up!"

Zhang Lin said gratefully, "Brother Lin, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely work hard."

Lin Chen asked, "You've been here for ten years and can't leave. Does your mother have any jade marrow liquid?"

Zhang Lin chuckled: "Before I came here, I guessed that once I entered the sect, I wouldn't be able to go back for a while, so I used all the spirit stones I had saved over the years to buy Jade Marrow Liquid. It's enough for my mother to use for ten years. After ten years, when I can leave, I will definitely have saved up a lot more spirit stones or Jade Marrow Liquid."

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Lin, whose face was full of anticipation and longing, and felt a little complicated.

The blood-red light he had seen earlier made Lin Chen increasingly believe that the Three Ghosts Sect was inextricably linked to the massacre in Kongyuan City. Therefore, their large-scale recruitment of disciples with certain strength at this delicate moment seemed even more suspicious.

Hopefully, it's not what I'm thinking. Otherwise, Zhang Lin's hopes will be dashed, and whether he can even go back alive is another matter entirely.

The middle-aged man, Tian Yue, reappeared, holding a thick roster: "The recruitment of disciples is now complete. Congratulations on successfully joining the Three Ghosts Sect and becoming a member of the Three Ghosts Sect."

"From now on, I will divide you into five groups of two hundred people each. We will send elders from the sect to teach each group in turn, teaching alchemy and cultivation, and helping you solve problems encountered in cultivation and alchemy studies."

"Now I'll divide the people into groups. I'll read out the room numbers, and the people in those rooms will automatically be assigned to them."

The group assignments were completed quickly. Lin Chen was assigned to Group Two. Lin Chen noticed that Zhang Lin was also in Group Two. Perhaps it was because Zhang Lin had deliberately chosen a room very close to Lin Chen that they were grouped together.

"Tomorrow morning, the first group will be taught the Three Ghosts Sect's Mind-Calming Technique."

"The second group will teach tomorrow afternoon, the third group the day after tomorrow, the fourth group, and so on."

"After teaching you the Tranquility Technique, the elders will lead you into the underground palace to cultivate within the formation, so that you can comprehend the Tranquility Technique as soon as possible."

"have you understood?"

Everyone answered in unison, "Understood!"

Lin Chen stood in the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.

Enter the underground palace and cultivate within the array?
Below the main hall?

Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the streak of blood-red light that shot into the sky, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

The following morning, Tian Yue reappeared, leading a group of two hundred people to the main hall. "What kind of cultivation technique is the Tranquility Mantra? I wonder how powerful it is?"

"It's probably an auxiliary cultivation technique, which calms the mind and keeps one focused. After all, the worst thing in cultivation is having a wandering mind. If you can't calm your mind, it's easy to develop inner demons in the later stages, which can lead to serious problems."

"I'm kind of looking forward to it."

"It's okay, it'll be our turn soon anyway."

Lin Chen watched the departing procession, his brows furrowed.

Looking at Lin Chen, Zhang Lin asked softly, "Brother Lin, you don't seem very happy?"

Lin Chen turned around and smiled, "No, I just thought of some things."

Zhang Lin looked on expectantly: "I wonder when I'll be able to learn alchemy."

Lin Chen smiled but did not answer.

The first group of two hundred people entered the main hall and then fell silent. When Tian Yue reappeared at noon, the two hundred people had vanished without a trace.

"Second group, follow me."

Lin Chen followed Tian Yue quietly into the main hall.

He knew that perhaps it was time to reveal the truth.

In the spacious hall, an old man sat on a high platform. His hair and beard were all white, and he looked like a sage with an imposing presence.

"I am Elder Ge Lin, who imparts skills. Now I will teach you the Tranquility Mantra. If you master the Tranquility Mantra, you can keep your mind as clear as water, whether you are cultivating or refining pills, and reduce the probability of going into qi deviation. If you are refining pills, it will increase the success rate of pill refining."

Green briefly explained the benefits of the Mindfulness Technique, and then began to pass on the practice.

Lin Chen listened carefully and, after practicing for a while, realized that although this technique wasn't particularly good, it was indeed a genuine technique without any trickery.

"Have you all taken notes?"

The calming mantra was not long, and everyone nodded, indicating that they had memorized it.

Ge Lin stood up: "Now that you have memorized it, you will all follow me into the underground palace to cultivate within the spirit array and master it as soon as possible!"
