The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Capítulo 2274: Chapter 2274: Myriad Formation Board, Isn’t This Just a Simulation

When Carson Flores arrived at the lake house, Ben Singleton was reclining in a chair by the lake, eyes half-closed, resting, looking serene and content.

Beside the chaise, a tea table was set up with a pot of tea brewing, and next to it was an incense burner with a stick of incense burning.

Carson Flores landed in front of the recliner, inhaling the faint fragrance wafting through the air, his mind cleared instantly, feeling at peace.

Ben Singleton opened his eyes and smiled, “Made some progress?”

Carson Flores sat down on a nearby empty chair, not rushing to ask questions, and instead lay comfortably on the chair, laughing, “Your life here is really relaxed.”

Ben Singleton smiled, “I’ve gotten old, less ambition, and naturally relaxed.”

Carson Flores chuckled, “Cultivators don’t have the concept of age, life’s long, always looking forward. For strong individuals like you, shouldn’t you strive for the realm above a Saint?”

“Saint?”

Ben Singleton shook his head, smiling, “That’s not something you can reach just by wanting it. You must see your limits clearly; some things are beautiful, but you can’t get them just because you want to. If you don’t see this point, even with almost infinite life and great power, you will still live miserably, perhaps even in despair.”

Carson Flores laughed, “Mr. Singleton, you’ve seen through life and death, felt you couldn’t reach above Saint, so you decided to just relax like a salted fish?”

Ben Singleton was unfazed by Carson’s teasing, “That’s not bad either, settling down and relaxing, haven’t you said that an elder at home is a treasure?”

Carson Flores laughed, “It’s indeed nice, I too, at heart, am lazy, just wanting to enjoy my days peacefully, laid-back and like a salted fish. But being weak, there are always things or people forcing you forward, can’t settle down.”

Ben Singleton stared at Carson, “What you want is not the lazy seclusion and leisure of hiding away; you want the whole world at your disposal, not fearing anyone, able to do whatever you want without restraint…”

Carson Flores was quite surprised, “Mr. Singleton, you know me well.”

Ben Singleton chuckled lightly, “Who hasn’t been through this? Even someone like Tatum Howard, with big ambitions, aiming to rise above, but most immortals, actually, are like ordinary people, just wanting to become stronger, more liberated, able to say no to more things, not being bullied…”

Carson Flores agreed, “Yes, the wish is like that, but the result is unreachable, so you push yourself forward, maybe pushing until the day you die.”

Ben Singleton nodded, “Exactly, that’s human nature. Ordinary people dream of becoming immortals, above immortals is the Great Land, above the Great Land is a Saint, above a Saint are stronger existences. You, do you want to become a Saint?”

Carson Flores laughed, “To say I don’t want to, would be hypocritical. But as you said, these are not things you can do just because you want to. Go with the flow, it’s never wrong to strive upwards, who doesn’t want to be a bit more powerful, as long as you approach it with a normal mentality, there’s no problem.”

Ben Singleton’s rocking chair swayed gently; he leaned on it lazily, “Have you run into some problems?”

Carson Flores recounted his problems, “Mr. Singleton, you’re an Array Master, you should be well-versed in Talismans too, right?”

Ben Singleton smiled, “In formations, I’m indeed considered a master. Talismans, I at best understand them a bit; there is quite a difference between the two.”

Carson Flores widened his eyes, his expression quite disappointed, “So you don’t have any solution for this?”

Ben Singleton shook his head, “Copying a pattern, if it’s just this, it’s not a big deal.”

Carson Flores’s mood swung like a roller coaster, his face suddenly showing an expression of surprise, “Mr. Singleton, you have a way?”

Ben Singleton rummaged around in his Space Ring and tossed Carson Flores a magical treasure resembling a drawing board.

“This is the Myriad Formation Board, a treasure I made for practicing formation drawing. Once infused with spiritual power, it becomes like a sand table for formation drawing. You can treat it as real formation drawing. If you fail, the screen will shatter, and you have to start over.”

“When you can perfectly draw formations on the Myriad Formation Board, you can proceed to actual operations and create formations. After all, formation materials are precious, especially for advanced formations. If not skilled or confident, making a formation could consume unknown amounts of precious materials.”

Carson Flores immediately understood the purpose of the Myriad Formation Board, it’s for simulating formation creation.

Carson Flores took the Myriad Formation Board, smiling, “When I have time, you can teach me formations.”

Ben Singleton replied casually, “Sure, as long as you’re willing to learn. However, when teaching, I’m quite strict, be prepared…”
