Beauty and the Bodyguard

"What is your purpose in bringing me to this place?" Xu Lingchong suppressed his hatred and asked in a deep voice.

The masked man chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I see you're pitiful, so I'm just helping you."

"Help me?" Xu Lingchong pointed to his piece of minced meat on the ground and said through gritted teeth, "Are you helping me?"

"Of course, let me ask you a question, do you prefer women or power?" The masked man played with the taste.

Xu Lingchong was stunned for a moment, and then slowly answered: "Power."

For cultivators who are dedicated to pursuing power, although women are good things, they are nothing compared to power or strength, especially for a very ambitious figure like Xu Lingchong.

For so many years, he has been sparing no effort in pursuing Shangguan Lan'er. Even if there is also the factor of lusting after women, the more essential purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top. As long as he can successfully rise to the top, there will be as many stunning women as he wants.

"Since you want power, why bother to stay with this thing?" The masked man chuckled disdainfully, and then said: "Compared with the childish method of clinging to women, it is far less effective than strengthening one's own strength. It’s really reliable, what do you think?”

Xu Lingchong was speechless when asked, and after a while he quietly said: "Even if you want to improve your strength, there is no need to be a eunuch, right? Is there any relationship between the two?"

"Of course it does matter." The masked man snapped his fingers, and an ancient book suddenly appeared in front of Xu Lingchong. The four title pages were engraved with dark gold characters - The Chrysanthemum Book.

Xu Lingchong's eyelids twitched, and he picked up the ancient book at the other party's signal. After opening it, the first sentence he read shocked him and left him speechless: "If you want to practice this skill, you must first die from the palace..."

"This chrysanthemum treasure book is a supreme magical skill. After deep cultivation, its power is no worse than the five highly regarded magical skills of Tianjie Island, or even more powerful. However, there are two prerequisites for its cultivation. One is that you have to commit suicide first, and the other is the hatred that goes deep into your bones, and you have both of these two things in place now." The masked man explained.

"This..." Xu Lingchong was shaken immediately. No matter whether he dared to face it or not, he had to accept the reality that he had become an eunuch. As for hatred, his hatred for Lin Yi towards Shangguan Laner was absolutely overwhelming. It has already reached the sky.

"With your qualifications and conditions, as long as you concentrate on practicing the Chrysanthemum Book, you will be able to achieve some success within a few months. By then, your strength will be at least several times what it is now. Compared to the masters of the same level, you will be invincible. Existence." The masked man continued to seduce.

Hearing this, Xu Lingchong fell into deep thought. He could feel that these words did not seem to be groundless empty words, but so far, he still knew nothing about the masked man in front of him.

What is the identity of the other party, what are their intentions, what are their intentions, and why they want me to practice the Chrysanthemum Book. These are all question marks, and the other party has no intention of explaining.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Lingchang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "At this point, I have no other choice. I want this Chrysanthemum Book."

"Very good, I read you right. You are indeed a wise and current guy. So from today on, you can stay here to practice. I will not let you out until you reach the level of Xiaocheng. As for the outside and you I will take care of all the miscellaneous things at home for you." The masked man admired, and then disappeared from Xu Lingchong's sight in a flash, as if he had never appeared before.

"Who is this guy who is pretending to be a ghost?" Xu Lingchong looked at the empty secret room and couldn't help but secretly doubt it.

This secret room was surrounded by airtight copper and iron walls in all directions, including above and below the head. There was no way out. Even with Xu Lingchong's extraordinary eyesight, he could not find any gaps. He even felt on the wall. The familiar protective formation, the level of protection is jaw-droppingly high.

And this masked man, in a place like this, disappeared out of thin air right in front of him, with such cultivation and strength, even with Xu Lingchong's vision, he couldn't help but be stunned and unbelievable.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Lingchong immediately sat down cross-legged, holding the Chrysanthemum Book and began to study it. Regardless of whether he did it voluntarily or not, things have developed to this point. If he does not follow what the masked man said and does not practice the Chrysanthemum Book to a small level. , I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the light of day again.

Xu Lingchong's strange encounter, for Lin Yi who was unaware, was equivalent to doing him a big favor in disguise.

After all, Xu Lingchong had just suffered a huge change. It was the time when he was most likely to go to extremes and when he faced the greatest threat to Lin Yi, but he was suddenly forcibly imprisoned by this masked man of unknown origin to practice the Chrysanthemum Book.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, at least in the short term, Xu Lingchong no longer poses any threat to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi can concentrate on training for a while! Lin Yi didn't deliberately ask where Xu Lingchong had gone. Since there was no news, he was happy to be at ease.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the auction. According to the prior agreement, Lin Yi came to the Hong Chamber of Commerce alone to meet Hong Zhong early.

But this time, he appeared in his original form. Anyway, Hong Zhong already knew his identity, and the relationship between him and Hong Zhong had been seen by everyone at the birthday party before. Instead of appearing as Lin Er again, It's better to be secretive than to be more upright and appear directly as one's true self.

This is actually a kind of psychological game. After all, so far, no matter how much people like Nan Tianba doubt him, there is at least not enough evidence to confirm that he and Lin Er are the same person. Facing Lin Yi himself, this line of uncertainty is uncertain. It is very likely that it will turn into an opportunity. On the contrary, if it is Lin Er, the other party can definitely take action directly.

After meeting Hong Zhong and exchanging greetings, Lin Yi immediately took out a bag of things from his arms, handed it to Hong Zhong and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, these are some pills I refined not long ago, put them in a package and sell them to you. How is the Hong Chamber of Commerce?"

Hong Zhong's eyes lit up, and when he looked at the cloth bag, he found that there were a total of thirteen pills inside, all of which were foundation-building and barrier-breaking pills. What surprised him even more was that each of these foundation-building and barrier-breaking pills were shining with numerous pills. Wow, they are all rare and top-quality goods!

"A total of thirteen top-quality foundation-building pills, Shaoxia Lin, you are really generous!" Even an old shopkeeper like Hong Zhong, who is accustomed to the world, couldn't help but sigh.
