The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Looking for Alchemy? I’m the Best!_1

”There’s no restriction, but many variables exist within the Secret Realm, and it is ultimately a land of danger. If you gain something, it’s better to head back. After all, whether it’s the Spiritual Medicine or the Refining Materials we obtain, they all need to be processed before they are most suitable for enhancing our strength.”

Killian Jaramillo explained with a smile, ”Since there are no restrictions on entering or exiting, there’s no need to deliberately linger. By transforming our gains into elixirs or Magic Artifacts, we can increase our strength, which would allow us even greater self-preservation on our next visit, wouldn’t it?”

Carson Flores thought about it and realized that indeed, that was correct.

The Spiritual Medicine that he had matured with the Life Essence Pearl could certainly be taken directly, but the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced. If they were compounded with other medicines and refined into pills, the utilization rate would be much higher, and the effect would be many times better.

”Alright, if I collect Spiritual Medicine and want to refine it into elixirs, who should I seek out?”

Killian Jaramillo chuckled lightly, ”You? You should come to me, my main expertise is as an Alchemist.”

Carson Flores widened his eyes in surprise, ”But, haven’t they said that you are a genius with the greatest talent for cultivation? How did you become an Alchemist as well?”

Killian Jaramillo pursed her lips and laughed softly, ”Being an Alchemist doesn’t conflict with cultivation. If you really want to differentiate, I’d be considered a Pill Cultivator. That is, I propel my own strength with elixirs. Although I’ve spent a lot of time learning and practicing Alchemy, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting wood.”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Okay, then I’ll come to you if I need help in the future.”

”I will probably go back in about ten days. If you truly need something by then, please make sure to find me. While my Alchemy skills may not compare with some of the elders in the sect, they aren’t likely to help others refine elixirs easily. Among those you could find for Alchemy, I’m definitely the strongest.”

Carson Flores readily agreed, ”Alright!”

”Then I’ll be going first, see you later.”

”Wait.”

Carson Flores returned with the Flying Sword he had picked up earlier, ”This is your Flying Sword that you left behind.”

”Thank you!”

Killian Jaramillo summoned her Flying Sword with a wave of her hand, but then suddenly asked, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll turn against you after you candidly told me about the healing process?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”You originally could have used me to lure the Snow Dragon Leopard King and escaped on your own, but instead, you turned back to fight, buying me time to escape. That alone is testament to your character.”

Killian Jaramillo looked at Carson Flores, whose expression was one of genuine equanimity, then smiled, waved her hand, and cleanly turned to leave the cave.

Discerning the direction, Killian Jaramillo didn’t soar into the sky with her sword but instead hovered just above the ground as she flew at high speed.

It wasn’t long before she arrived at the location where she had passed out and fallen earlier.

There were no significant signs of a fierce battle on the ground. Just as she was about to laugh at herself and prepare to leave, she suddenly noticed a striking red on the snowy ground ahead.

Blood!

She went to the red patch, lightly touched the congealed blood with her finger, and then brought it close to her nose to smell.

It wasn’t human blood.

So this blood was... the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s blood?

Following the trail of blood forward, her gaze suddenly froze.

In front of her on the snowy ground, half a tail lay embedded in the ice and snow. From its shape, it was clearly the tail of the Snow Dragon Leopard King.

She raised her head and saw the jagged mountain peak ahead, as well as the chaotic aftermath of the avalanche.

Killian Jaramillo took to her sword and swiftly reached the fractured mountain peak. Observing the traces on the rocks that looked like they had been cleft by a knife and the charred remnants of intense heat, shock filled her eyes.

Seeing that the break in the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s tail was also charred, and combining those details with the scene here, the colossal avalanche, Killian Jaramillo’s mind tentatively reconstructed the battle that had transpired.

The flame was like a blade, slicing off the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s tail, then focused high into the mountain hundreds of meters away, causing the peak to explode and trigger a massive avalanche.

Such formidable power!

Carson Flores’s face unintentionally emerged in Killian Jaramillo’s mind. It couldn’t have been him, could it?

Wasn’t he just at the Golden Core Initial Stage?

It was impossible for him to have launched such a potent attack, so someone must have intercepted the Snow Dragon Leopard King after saving her, resulting in a fight?

Perhaps it was this person’s arrival that caused the Snow Dragon Leopard King not to chase after Carson Flores?

Killian Jaramillo stood there for a while, then let out a light breath, not overthinking it anymore, as she took to her sword and headed westward.

...

Inside the cave, after resting for a while, Carson Flores set off again on his journey to find the Snow Dragon Leopard.

Spiritual Energy, after all, the more you store, the more Spiritual Medicine you can cultivate.

It was a sure gain without loss.

Carson Flores roamed the vast Profound Ice Mountain Range for two days, hoping to find the den of the Snow Dragon Leopard King. If he could occasionally provoke it, wouldn’t the energy he could collect come whooshing in?

However, he didn’t find the Snow Dragon Leopard King, only encountering three Snow Dragon Leopards.

Unlike before, Carson Flores didn’t kill them but waited for them to exhaust themselves, spraying energy until they were weak, and then he let them go.

Carson Flores had realized that the number of Snow Dragon Leopards was not high; he needed to preserve them so he could endlessly collect energy during future visits to the Secret Realm.

Such an energy-charging treasure, how could he kill them?
