The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2250: Chapter 2250: You Say a Long Time, But How Long Is That?

”Go ahead and take it!”

Carson Flores answered without hesitation, ”Just like you said, this is my chance! He set up this folding space to kill any intruders, but somehow, I made it through, that’s my skill, so why shouldn’t I take it?”

Ben Singleton chuckled, ”Aren’t you worried that once you take the Harmony Spring, he’ll notice and come after you?”

Carson laughed, ”Even if he does care, I’ll just take it and run, hide in the Ethereal Pagoda. It can even block the Heavenly Dao; he can’t be tougher than the Heavenly Dao, right?”

Carson had faced countless powerful enemies and opportunities along his journey, and if he didn’t dare to take what was within his grasp, he wouldn’t have achieved what he has today.

Ben reminded him, ”I won’t be able to help you if something really happens.”

Carson seemed relaxed, ”Such a big shot ought to care about his reputation. To pick on a little Heavenly Immortal like me, wouldn’t that be a bit too embarrassing... So, how do we take it and use it?”

Ben guided him, ”Separate the Nether Spring and the Harmony Spring, mix them together, and soak in it. That can reconstruct the body, repair the Primordial Spirit, and restore vitality.”

Carson looked at the life-like flowing Harmony Spring, ”Sounds simple, but these springs don’t seem ordinary. Ordinary containers might not hold them, right?”

Ben nodded, ”Don’t worry, the Harmony Spring might look intimidating, but it’s not that scary. Other than being a bit hot, it’s fine—”

A bit hot?

It didn’t seem just a bit hot!

Carson thought for a moment and pulled out The Mirror of Elemental Harmony. Using Harmony to hold Harmony should be fine, right?

With a gesture, the Harmony Spring surged out from the well, transforming into a stream of glass-like red liquid heading towards Carson. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding space to ripple violently.

Flashes of red light from the Fire Mirror enveloped the blazing Harmony Spring. Just as Carson had expected, the spring, like a Fire Dragon, swiftly entered the mirror’s surface, stored inside The Mirror of Elemental Harmony.

Ben’s eyes lit up, ”Wow, this magical treasure is quite something.”

Carson chuckled proudly, ”Venturing out, you’ve got to have a few nice trinkets for protection.”

After securing the Harmony Spring, Carson moved to the Nether Spring, flipped the mirror, and the glittering water engulfed the Nether Spring, collecting it into the mirror as well.

Ben folded his arms, supporting his chin with his hand, contemplating, ”If it can absorb the Harmony Spring, can’t it absorb any water or fire?”

Carson smiled, ”Harmony divides life and death, water and fire are invincible. Since I’ve had this Mirror of Elemental Harmony, no cultivator playing with fire or water has gotten the better of me.”

Ben, surprised, asked, ”Absorbing any water or fire, I get that. But how does Harmony divide life and death?”

Carson explained a bit and sighed, ”I don’t dare flaunt this thing outside, fearing it’ll bring trouble. But being not strong enough, I also haven’t dared to openly seek the control method for The Mirror of Elemental Harmony, so for now, I just set it aside...”

”Could it wipe out eighteen great powers in one go?”

Ben widened his eyes, ”This mirror is incredible. If you find its control method, who would dare mess with you?”

Carson grinned, ”The mirror’s definitely powerful, but in my hands, compared to a great master’s, could the power be the same? If I had the ability to slaughter eighteen great powers in one breath, wouldn’t I be on par with an Immortal Emperor?”

Ben chuckled, ”You’ve got a clear head. I’m quite interested in this mirror. Once I’ve healed, we’ll look for a way to discover its control method.”

Carson’s eyes brightened, ”Great, with you backing me, I won’t be afraid of anything.”

Ben waved his hand, ”Don’t pin too high hopes on me for now. Even if we’ve found the Harmony Spring, capable of rejuvenating my withered body and restoring vitality, returning to peak condition will take a long time.”

Carson curiously asked, ”What do you mean by a long time?”

Ben thought for a moment and answered, ”Maybe, a hundred years?”

Carson’s eyes widened, ”A hundred years, that long?”

Ben laughed, ”A hundred years, how is that long? For us at this realm, a serious closed-door cultivation session lasts more than a hundred years, it passes in a flash. My injuries are so severe, they can’t be easily fixed; saying a hundred years is conservative, it could take even longer.”

Carson found himself temporarily speechless.

Indeed, Ben was once a Great Land Prime Immortal. With such power, sustaining fatal injuries, nearly dying, could these wounds be easily healed?

A hundred years may be a lifetime for ordinary people, but for a Great Land Prime Immortal with endless life, it’s just a moment.

Though Carson felt a brief moment of disappointment, his face soon returned to a smile, ”I guess I oversimplified it. A hundred years it is, as long as you recover, that’s all that matters.”

Just as Ben was about to speak, two golden beams suddenly shot out from the ancient wells, colliding in mid-air, quickly morphing into a golden figure that hovered there.
