The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

As the elder swore a soul oath to the Heavenly Dao, Carson Flores finally lowered his guard.

The opponent, after all, was a Space System Quasi-Saint. Even though he had only a remnant Primordial Spirit left now, he was still a Quasi-Saint. If he harbored any ill intentions, Carson would not easily withstand them!

Although Carson coveted the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice, his life was even more important.

”What do I need to do now? Should I take you out?”

”Yes, hide the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice so that person doesn’t find it, then take me out later.”

”Alright!”

As the life-bound magical treasure of a Quasi-Saint, the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice was evidently extraordinarily powerful. Once Carson confirmed he was not in danger, he didn’t mind being a bit ”greedy.”

As for keeping this from Varric Combs, Carson felt no guilt.

He had helped Varric Combs enter, regardless of whether to repay a favor or as part of cooperation, Carson felt justified.

Since Varric Combs hadn’t discovered the Sun and Moon Dragon Chalice, Carson acquired it as a unique opportunity thanks to burying the elder.

”If you send me back and help me fulfill my wish, there are many treasures in my cave mansion, and I will give them all to you. As a Space System Quasi-Saint, I’ve explored the world extensively. How could I have only such modest possessions?”

Carson’s eyes immediately brightened. That’s more like it!

Though his Space Ring contained many valuable items, apart from the Space Turbulence Technique and the Gluttonous Blood Fruit, nothing else had value worthy of a Space System Quasi-Saint’s stature.

A Space System Quasi-Saint excels at exploring new worlds, always finding countless treasures within unknown domains.

”What should I call you, elder?”

”My original name is no longer important; I go by the name Broken Heaven Pathist.”

”Elder Broken Heaven, where do you want me to send you?”

”To the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain.”

Carson’s eyes lit up; the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain is where True Sage Grand Void resides, isn’t it?

Carson inquired about the elder’s name with a hidden agenda.

Though the elder had sworn an oath to Carson, it only meant he wouldn’t personally harm Carson or direct others to do so. But completing the elder’s wishes might still bear risks.

Despite being helpful to Broken Heaven Pathist, one can’t see into the hearts of others, especially when one’s own power is weak, requiring greater caution.

Even if the elder won’t kill him, it doesn’t mean others connected to him won’t.

If Carson were to truly send him to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, he must immediately visit True Sage Grand Void and discuss the matter. True Sage Grand Void has been genuinely kind to him, saving his life, making him absolutely trustworthy.

”Alright, once I’ve handled my matters, I’ll send you over. Meanwhile, elder, please rest easy.”

Carson took down the third oil lamp from the shelf and stored it in the Space Ring. After pausing briefly, he stored all similarly-shaped oil lamps into the Space Ring.

If anyone asks, he’d claim the oil lamp design is attractive.

Shortly after, the gathered individuals regrouped. Though they had made some gains, there was nothing particularly remarkable.

”This Land of Chaotic Streams protects us, so there’s no need to worry about disruptions. It’s a perfect place for peaceful cultivation...”

Varric Combs produced the rubbings and smiled at Carson, saying, ”May I first ponder over them?”

Carson replied with a smile, ”Naturally, I need time to refine the Gluttonous Blood Fruit, and there’s no rush.”

”All good!”

Varric Combs glanced back at Lucas White and the others, ”Just organize yourselves.”

Carson found a secluded spot, took out the Jade Slip about seed refinement given by Flowing Cloud, and meticulously read it again.

He didn’t want any blunders!

After reviewing the slip once more and committing all processes to memory, gathering necessary materials, Carson began refining the Gluttonous Blood Fruit.

The seed refinement process resembles the refinement of a life-bound magical treasure—ultimately achieving unity between oneself and the seed. The most crucial part of this process is preserving the seed’s vitality; if the seed is destroyed and becomes lifeless, infusing it with Wood Attribute Spiritual Power won’t allow it to sprout.

Refining the seed isn’t complicated but requires precision, and the seed possesses uniqueness. Once selected and successfully refined, it binds with the Crystal of the Wood Path and cannot be replaced.

Carson sat there for months, with the Gluttonous Blood Fruit floating before him, exuding a faint blood light, gently surging, making it seem as if it were alive.

When Carson finally opened his eyes, the blood light on the Gluttonous Blood Fruit surged upward, then receded, all absorbed into the fruit.

Carson pointed at the Gluttonous Blood Fruit, which flashed a faint Gluttony illusion before silently shrinking and disappearing into Carson’s brow.
