The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Why does the conversation feel a bit off?_1

”I’m still looking for something; you go back first.”

Delaney Hunter took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Carson Flores, ”This is the advanced cultivation technique for the Three-foot Sword Veil. Practice it for now, but the most important aspect of the Three-foot Sword Veil is the Sword Bone. Only when you have turned all your bones into Sword Bones will you truly reach the Great Perfection of the Three-foot Sword Veil. At that point, you yourself will become an unstoppable sharp sword, capable of killing with just Sword Intent.”

Carson Flores asked in shock, ”What is Sword Bone?”

Delaney Hunter casually raised her hand, pointing a fingertip towards Carson Flores.

Delaney Hunter didn’t do anything, but Carson Flores felt an overwhelming sharpness emanating from her fingertip, as if it could pierce through his head in the next second.

”This is Sword Bone.”

Delaney Hunter lowered her finger and smiled faintly; the sharp feeling disappeared instantly.

It was just a moment, but Carson Flores’s back broke out in a cold sweat.

He was certain that it wasn’t any cultivation technique, but rather that she herself was a sword with an exposed edge, one that could claim lives at any minute!

Carson Flores asked curiously, ”How can one cultivate Sword Bone?”

Delaney Hunter explained, ”You train one bone at a time. A human body has two hundred and six bones; when you have trained them all, that’s when you have succeeded.”

Astonished, Carson Flores asked, ”Senior Sister, have you turned all your bones into Sword Bones?”

Delaney Hunter shook her head, ”Not yet, I have only reached one hundred fifty-eight levels.”

One for each level?

Delaney Hunter hadn’t yet fully cultivated Sword Bone, yet she possessed such terrifying power to crush those at the same level. What kind of power would she wield if she completed the training?

Carson Flores was quite tempted.

The scene where Delaney Hunter trod through the air, with all the tentacles of the tree demon being automatically shattered by the Sword Qi, was just too explosive, too cool.

”Alright, Senior Sister, I will diligently cultivate,” he affirmed.

Delaney Hunter said with a smile, ”Apart from great determination, cultivating the Sword Bone requires a vast amount of resources. Each segment of Sword Bone needs a piece of Wondrous Black Essence, and these pieces are extremely valuable and difficult to obtain. If you want to cultivate the Three-foot Sword Veil, you should be prepared to live in poverty.”

Carson Flores’s eyes widened, ”Each segment of Sword Bone needs a piece?”

He had heard about Wondrous Black Essence, which was a rare mineral associated with millennia-old Mystical Iron. Even a tiny amount could greatly improve the quality of a Flying Sword, but Delaney Hunter said each segment of Sword Bone needed a whole piece of Wondrous Black Essence?

Delaney Hunter nodded in affirmation, ”Yes.”

Carson Flores exclaimed, ”Two hundred and six pieces of Wondrous Black Essence, that could buy who knows how many cities, couldn’t it?”

With a wry smile, Delaney Hunter said, ”Yes, which is why your Senior Sister has always been poor, unable to afford even snacks. If you really care, you should get me some tasty treats.”

The conversation took an abrupt turn, catching Carson Flores off guard. After a second of stun, he replied, ”I will work hard to earn Spirit Stones and buy snacks for Senior Sister!”

As he said this, Carson Flores felt that something was amiss?

Delaney Hunter chuckled, ”Alright, you can go back now.”

She left with an air of nonchalance, and after a moment’s thought, Carson Flores took out the Vajra Vine.

A face appeared on the Vajra Vine, looking somewhat disgruntled. She was, after all, at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, but now she had been reduced to serving a mere Golden Core Initial Stage youth, which was somewhat hard to swallow.

Moreover, it could be said that it was this very youngster who had caused her such misery, and now he even controlled her life and death. Mixed feelings of anger and grievance swelled within the tree demon’s heart.

Seeing her expression, Carson Flores laughed, ”What, not willing to accept it?”

The tree demon huffed, ”I don’t dare to. My life is in your hands now. If you want me dead, I’ll die. I don’t dare to resist.”

Carson Flores laughed, ”I don’t care whether you accept it or not, just do whatever I tell you to do, that will suffice. If you help me with my tasks, I won’t let you down.”

The tree demon muttered, ”Now that I’m fused with the Vajra Vine, my strength is probably only at the Qi Refinement Realm of you cultivators; I won’t be of much help to you.”

Carson Flores spoke indifferently, ”Didn’t Senior Sister say that with enough Spiritual Medicine, you could grow rapidly?”

The tree demon hummed in agreement, ”Yes, but that requires a lot of Spiritual Medicine. Besides, Vajra Vine also needs time to grow...”

Carson Flores smiled and directly took out several pieces of Spiritual Medicine from his Space Ring, ”I’m not short on Spiritual Medicine. I can find them anytime I enter the Secret Realm, and you don’t have to worry about growing; I have a way to make you grow quickly.”

The tree demon’s eyes locked onto the Spiritual Medicine, her small face filled with longing.

Although she was reluctant to work for Carson Flores, who wouldn’t want to become stronger? Moreover, given the current circumstances, working for him was inevitable; it was just a matter of her pride being hurt temporarily.

”Here, take these,” he said.

The tree demon’s eyes brightened with joy, and the tip of the Vajra Vine shot out several sharp tendrils, piercing into the Spiritual Medicine. Her small face showed a look of utter contentment.

As Carson Flores watched this scene, he asked out of the blue, ”What’s your name?”

”Josy.”

The tree demon replied subconsciously and after two seconds, her tone shifted subtly, ”My name is Josy.”
