The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1523: Chapter 1523: Oh, is Pill King about to be kidnapped?

The competition concluded, followed by the customary grand banquet.

As the newly crowned Pill King, Carson Flores naturally couldn’t refuse the invitation.

At the banquet, Carson was undoubtedly the center of attention. People sought him out for toasts, introductions, and invitations, including some attractive female cultivators whose fiery gazes even made Carson’s brazen demeanor feel a little overwhelmed.

Had he become the hot commodity?

It seemed at this moment, fame, status, and wealth were all within reach!

Looking back, Carson felt a bit like he was dreaming. After five years of serious cultivation with Theo Eaton, he had unexpectedly taken first place in the competition and earned the title of Pill King!

Carson didn’t arrogantly believe his skills were unmatched; rather, this competition happened to perfectly align with the advantages he held from mastering the Primitive Pill Scripture.

The Primitive Pill Scripture contained many profound alchemy techniques and some premium elixir formulas, which Theo Eaton had studied himself before passing them on to Carson.

In order to learn the mysterious alchemy techniques from the Primitive Pill Scripture, Carson specifically chose difficult elixirs for repeated practice, such as the Hundred Flowers Heart Cleansing Pill provided by Ricardo Tate. Others couldn’t refine it, but he had successfully done so multiple times.

Additionally, Theo Eaton himself was a Pill King, possessing countless elixir formulas, which he naturally taught to Carson.

Various factors allowed Carson to seize every advantage under this competition’s rules, ultimately earning the title of Pill King, which was indeed somewhat fortunate.

Early the next morning, Carson quietly slipped away from Flying Phoenix City.

He hadn’t decided where to go next, but in any case, leaving Flying Phoenix City was the first step.

There was no choice; too many people were seeking his help with alchemy.

Just as Carson left, someone discreetly followed him.

Flying Phoenix City was bustling with cultivators coming and going, so having someone heading in the same direction wasn’t unusual.

Carson flew several hundred miles and glanced back before landing directly on a mountaintop.

The flying boat behind him maintained its course. At first, Carson didn’t find it suspicious, but after several hundred miles of following him at a consistent distance, it seemed odd.

Were they coming for him?

The flying boat swiftly approached and hovered above the mountain peak, with three men and one woman standing onboard, smiling as they looked at Carson.

Carson was slightly startled inside; he had left early and discreetly, but the other side had managed to follow him. This indicated they had been observing him all along, otherwise how could they have tracked him?

Carson smiled and said, ”Fellow Daoists, it seems you’re pursuing me?”

The leading man on the flying boat smiled slightly, ”Yes, Pill King Flores, we’ve been waiting for you all night.”

Carson calmly replied, ”May I ask what you need from me?”

The leading man chuckled, ”My master invites Pill King Flores to come over for a meeting!”

Carson smiled, ”May I ask how you address your master?”

The leading man replied, ”My master is known as Cold Snow Immortal, but my master rarely involves himself with the outside world. This name is one he gave himself, so it’s normal if Pill King Flores hasn’t heard of it.”

Carson responded, ”I have some urgent matters to attend to. Perhaps you could leave an address, and when I’ve handled my affairs, I’ll visit?”

Carson had never heard of any Cold Snow Immortal, nor did he intend to accept any invitation. Having left Flying Phoenix City, where Heavenly Immortals no longer sat guard, all sorts of suspicious characters might appear.

Though he had earned the title of Pill King, Carson was still a mere Human Immortal within the Immortal Domains, so it was best to remain cautious.

The leading man smiled gently, ”Pill King Flores, my master extends a sincere invitation. It won’t take much time, please come this way!”

Carson frowned, ”What if I say I don’t have the time?”

The leading man appeared confident and assured, ”Pill King Flores, we have our master’s orders to invite you for a meeting. If we fail, our master will punish us for poor performance, which would be terrible for us.”

”Pill King Flores, as long as you meet with our master, there will be generous rewards afterward. We won’t let you make this trip in vain.”

Carson shook his head without hesitation, ”I truly have matters to attend to, and can’t afford any delays right now. I’m very sorry!”

The leading man’s expression gradually cooled, his smile vanished, ”Pill King Flores, we invited you sincerely, yet you show no courtesy, which puts us in a difficult position. To avoid our master’s wrath, we must offend you for now and will apologize after you meet him!”

Carson’s expression slightly changed; this guy previously spoke with both gentle and firm tones, but upon hearing his refusal, he now intended to use force!

The leading man waved his hand, and the two men and woman behind him simultaneously moved, instantly positioning themselves behind and to the side of Carson, completely blocking his escape routes.

Carson coldly said, ”This invitation is rather discourteous!”

The leading man chuckled softly, ”Pill King Flores, we’re only following orders. Don’t make things difficult for us. If we fight, it disrupts harmony, and if we injure you too gravely, that’s our fault!”

Carson laughed coldly, preparing to forcefully break through, when a crisp voice echoed faintly in the air.

”Well, is the Pill King about to be kidnapped?”
