The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Life-saving magical treasures, not one less

Carson Flores understood.

What Lance Matthews said was quite euphemistic, but what he actually meant was, ”Your strength is too weak now, it’s very dangerous over there, and if you go alone, you may never return!”

Carson Flores sincerely asked, ”Then in your opinion, Sect Master, at what level of strength can I qualify to traverse the continent and travel alone?”

Lance Matthews chuckled, ”It’s not really a matter of qualification. With stronger strength, safety will be significantly improved. The customs of Skyland Continent are far better than those of the Dragon Spirit Continent—it’s not so chaotic, and White Crane Immortal Sect still has some reputation here. Despite that, if someone were to make a move on you, they would still show some restraint. However, in Dragon Spirit Continent, no one cares about the name of White Crane Immortal Sect.”

A land in turmoil?

In an instant, Carson Flores thought of Central Divine Continent in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm. Perhaps the situation was somewhat similar.

Places like Misrds State and South Yu State are relatively stable, but Central Divine Continent is plagued by constant warfare and rampant bandits. Recklessly heading there, one could easily vanish without a trace.

Carson Flores had some self-awareness; he didn’t consider himself to be that formidable. In the entire Immortal Domains, he was at best a silver carp, capable of eating small fish and shrimps, but when compared to the titans of the sea, he was nothing, not even sizable enough to be stuck in the crevices of their teeth.

”Then I’ll wait a bit longer. It’s good enough just being aware of this matter; it’s not urgent, actually.”

What Carson Flores said was true. The Immortal Path was endless. Even if hundreds or even thousands of years passed, as long as he could accomplish this task in the future, it would not be a problem.

Seeing Carson Flores speak this way, Lance Matthews relaxed a bit. He had been so worried before that Carson Flores, upon hearing this news, would insist on going to Dragon Spirit Continent without considering the consequences, which would not be good.

The Dragon Spirit Continent was truly chaotic. It was said that the Human Race and the Dragon Clan were thoroughly enjoying their fight there, practically tearing the entire continent apart. If Carson Flores went there now, it would be like a meat bun thrown to a dog—gone without return.

Just when White Crane Immortal Sect saw a glimmer of hope for its rise, if Carson Flores were to run around on a personal matter and fall midway, it would be a great loss.

Carson Flores carried the Heavenly Sword Inheritance, which he hadn’t yet fully understood.

If he were to perish, the Heavenly Sword Inheritance would truly be broken.

Bank Austin?

Who knows which Immortal Domain he’s wandering in now.

Lance Matthews chuckled, ”You’ve been in closed-door training for a year and have just come out. Why not take a short trip nearby, just to take your mind off things. After all, since you’ve come from the Barbaric Wilderness Realm to the Immortal Realm, you haven’t gone out yet, have you?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Wandering around aimlessly is pretty boring. Is there any task within the sect that is suitable for me to participate in?”

Lance Matthews pondered for a moment, ”The Eastflow Cave Master is celebrating a birthday and has sent us an invitation. I have some matters to attend to and cannot go. I was wondering whom to send in my place. Since you’re planning to go out and take a break, why don’t you take this trip on behalf of me?”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Attending a banquet is quite a relaxing affair. But is it appropriate for me to replace you?”

Lance Matthews chuckled, ”Why would it be inappropriate? You are my junior uncle, and the Master of Heavenly Sword Peak. Both status and seniority are sufficient. As for strength, although you are only a Human Immortal, you have the achievement of slaying a Peak True Immortal with a single sword strike. Who would dare to belittle you?”

”Besides, this invitation is just a formality to entertain friends. White Crane Immortal Sect and Eastflow Cave have quite a history. As long as the person and the gifts arrive, that’s enough. Others won’t care too much about it. Anyway, just deliver the gift. If you enjoy it, stay for a while; if not, feel free to leave. It’s all straightforward.”

Seeing him put it this way, Carson Flores no longer declined, ”Okay, then I’ll make this trip.”

Lance Matthews handed the prepared gifts to Carson Flores, which included a vibrantly red and dazzling Deep Sea Jade Coral. Such coral grows extremely slowly, and one of this size would take at least ten thousand years to form.

Besides the Jade Coral, there was also a Thousand-year Blood Ganoderma, equally valuable and both gifts bore the meaning of longevity, fitting as a birthday present.

”His birthday is half a year from now. It takes about three months to travel from White Crane Immortal Sect to Eastflow Cave. There’s no need to hurry on the road.”

”Alright!”

In Carson Flores’s mind, a strange thought suddenly arose. Why did it feel like the ancient times of the Mortal Realm, where visiting friends meant months on the road? It’s good that cultivators have long lives, otherwise, spending a lifetime on just a few trips like this, one’s whole life would be consumed by travel.

Lance Matthews laughed, ”Although entering and leaving our Skyland Continent is relatively safe, one still needs to be prepared. The sect is gifting you three Defense Treasures; please accept them.”

Lance Matthews took out the three magical treasures that had been prepared in advance and introduced them one by one.

After listening, Carson Flores inwardly exclaimed, what a haul!

The three magical treasures were the Pursuit Light Boots, Qilin Cloak, and Great Displacement Command. Not one of them was an offensive treasure; they were all Defensive Treasures and escape treasures.

Lance Matthews knew that Carson Flores possessed the Arhat Manifestation and had offensive techniques like the Emperor Seal and Heavenly Sword. Considering Carson Flores’s limited strength, he didn’t even contemplate giving him offensive treasures.

If he couldn’t overcome with the Eight-Armed Arhat Phantom, could adding an offensive magical treasure make a difference?

Impossible!

If you can’t win, then flee!

It’s fine if you can’t overcome, but you must be able to escape!
