The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 694: Chapter 694: I Really Didn’t Waste Your Spiritual Medicine_1

I must look for my parents and find my wife too!

”Yes, that’s the plan, but there’s no rush. I’m sure we’ll meet sooner or later. For now, I should focus on improving my strength,” he said.

Since it was a personal matter, Carson Flores simply nodded without going into detail.

Killian Jaramillo smiled encouragingly and said, ”Keep up the hard work in cultivation. Once you’ve advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm and with the Water-Fire Mirror at your disposal, you should be able to traverse the Barbaric Wilderness Realm without much trouble, unless you’re extremely unlucky and encounter a Great Demon. Anything less dangerous than that, you should be able to handle and deal with.”

Carson laughed and said, ”My senior sister said the same thing. Now that I have the elixirs, I plan to go into seclusion for a while.”

”Good!”

With a charming smile, Killian said, ”I hope to bring you good news when I return.”

Carson replied with a smile, ”If you come across any Dark Iron Raven Essence in the market, could you please buy it for me? I’ll reimburse you with whatever amount of Spirit Stones you need once you’re back.”

Killian chuckled, ”You helped our family bring back grandpa’s remains and saved my life. My father said he would help you acquire the Dark Iron Raven Essence as a way of expressing our gratitude. Why mention Spirit Stones? The Jaramillo Family has businesses in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, and we’re not short of money. Don’t worry about it.”

After Killian left, Carson began his period of secluded cultivation.

Using the Nine Ginseng Pills and Golden Marrow Elixirs in combination, the Golden Core spun wildly, furiously absorbing Spiritual Energy. The Golden Core became thicker and more solid, and the golden light on its surface shone brighter and brighter.

Carson could clearly feel his strength rapidly increasing. However, after a while, the pace of his improvement began to slow bit by bit.

Within his Dantian, there seemed to be an invisible barrier suppressing the Golden Core, making its rotation slow down. Although it continued to absorb Spiritual Energy, the rate of absorption had noticeably decreased.

Carson didn’t pay it any mind and continued to take his medicine, relentlessly absorbed Spiritual Energy, and fervently cultivated.

Each major realm transition represents a qualitative change. To achieve such a transition, one often needs enough accumulation of Spiritual Energy, as well as enlightenment and opportunity. However, advancing through the smaller stages of each major realm is a simple quantitative process.

As long as he had enough, he would certainly break through, and he would certainly advance.

The Golden Core absorbed less and less Spiritual Energy and spun slower and slower until it seemed to have come to a complete standstill, just quietly suspended, motionless.

The golden light on the surface of the Golden Core grew more intense until at a certain moment, a crisp sound, like that of a chick breaking out of an eggshell, suddenly rang out in Carson’s quiet mind.

Faint yet clear.

At the same time, that invisible barrier in Carson’s Dantian that had been suppressing his Golden Core cracked like an eggshell at the sound of that crisp noise, then shattered into countless fragments, dissipating into the air.

The golden light on the surface of the Golden Core flowed smoothly once again, and its rotation was restored to fluidity. It was now roughly twice the size it had been before. With each inhale and exhale, dense Spiritual Energy surged forth, filled with a sense of power.

Carson opened his eyes with delight, and in that instant, his pupils turned completely golden, filled with immense pressure. It took a good while before the golden color in his eyes slowly dissipated and returned to normal.

Golden Core Middle Stage!

He had advanced!

Counting the time, he had been in seclusion for three months. The Nine Ginseng Pills and Golden Marrow Elixirs that Killian had prepared for him were nearly depleted, and he had also consumed many Spirit Fruits that were abundant in Spiritual Energy.

Eating Spirit Fruits like meals, the effect was simply domineering!

After a burst of excitement, Carson composed himself and stepped out of the cave to check on his medicinal fields.

”Master, have you finished your seclusion?”

Carson looked up in surprise toward the top of his cave, only to discover Vajra Vines covered the entire area around his cave. Josy’s familiar yet foreign face peeked out from among the leaves on a Vajra Vine that was thick enough to embrace.

Josy had grown!

When Josy had merged with the Vajra Vine, it was only thirty centimeters long, and the stem was very thin. Her face was small and exquisite, like that of a young girl. But now, the vine had stretched hundreds of meters, covering the surroundings of the cave, and her face had taken on the lovely features of a woman in her twenties, which, appearing on the vine, looked rather eerie.

Carson looked around, ”You’ve grown quite fast. What’s your strength like now?”

Josy called out excitedly, ”I have roughly recovered to the Golden Core Late Stage!”

Carson responded cooly, ”Three months, and you’re telling me you’ve consumed a whole bunch of Spiritual Medicine, plus the Life Essence Pearl has been catalyzing your growth, constantly supplying Spiritual Energy. You, from Nascent Soul Great Perfection, have only recovered to Golden Core Late Stage? What are you so excited about?”

The smile on Josy’s face froze, and her tone immediately became somewhat aggrieved, ”My body was destroyed, and my path severely damaged. Although the Nascent Soul successfully found a host, it was very fragile. Normally, just fusion would take at least several decades. To fully recover to Nascent Soul Great Perfection would require at least a few hundred years, maybe even a thousand. Now, in just three months, I’ve recovered to Golden Core Late Stage. Master, my recovery speed is already super fast. I didn’t waste your Spiritual Medicine...”
