The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

”Steward Stanford!”

As Carson Flores entered the Valentine Family Pharmacy, he bumped into Kaldren Stanford and quickly greeted him politely.

Kaldren Stanford looked Carson up and down and chuckled, ”Back already? Did you get everything done?”

Carson smiled and said, ”All done, just a small matter.”

Kaldren Stanford smiled and said, ”I forgot to ask you earlier, which Sect are you a disciple of?”

The Sea God Sect spreads its teachings throughout the North Sea, and its disciples are scattered across the region. Even though they nominally belong to the Sea God Sect, it’s common for them to actually belong to different Sects.

Carson replied, ”I’m just a loose cultivator who joined the Sea God Sect by chance and followed...”

Carson explained Finnian Roth’s background, and after listening, a smile grew brighter on Kaldren Stanford’s face.

Loose Cultivator?

Loose cultivators are great!

People without backgrounds are the simplest to win over and the easiest to use!

Kaldren Stanford enthusiastically said, ”You’ve only committed minor mistakes; if anyone had spoken for you, you wouldn’t have had to come here at all...”

Carson roughly understood the implication in Stanford’s words, realizing they wanted to recruit him, so he followed Stanford’s words, saying, ”I’m alone and without a background or support, who would be willing to speak for me...”

Kaldren Stanford reached out and patted Carson’s shoulder, ”Do a good job here! When you leave, I’ll introduce you to a path that will make you stand above the rest...”

Carson feigned surprise and said, ”Really, Steward?”

Stanford chuckled, ”Our pharmacy is named Valentine Family Pharmacy, and you’re surely aware of Valentine’s status within the Sect, aren’t you?”

Carson’s eyes widened, ”This Valentine Family is the one in the Sect? Vice Cult Master Valentine’s family?”

Kaldren Stanford looked proud, ”Of course!”

Carson pretended to be surprised and quickly bowed, ”I’m honored, honored indeed! I will work diligently and hope Steward will guide me forward!”

Kaldren Stanford laughed, ”Family Valentine values talent and won’t treat loyal people poorly. As long as you work well, your future is very promising!”

Carson, full of excitement, repeatedly assured them he would work hard.

”Get busy then!”

Carson entered the pharmacy, first to receive ten days’ worth of medicinal materials, then returned to his residence to begin alchemy.

Carson used all the received materials and those from the previous ten days, then took out the cultivation technique given by Lorvian Randall and began to comprehend it.

The technique is ingenious but not complicated, and Carson completely mastered it within a few days, considering the marvels of Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Art are not mere boasting.

Carson began to absorb the Will Power within the Sea God Command, which transformed into pure Spiritual Power, rushing into his Sea of Consciousness like river water.

So fast!

Carson was deeply shocked, purely from a cultivation standpoint, this is much faster than Qi Cultivation!

But considering the source of Will Power and its gathering difficulty, Qi Cultivation seems easier and fairer, as Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth is impartial to all cultivators.

In other words, if Qi Cultivators can find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures full of pure Spiritual Energy, wouldn’t their cultivation also be fast?

Thinking this way, Will Power Path and Qi Cultivation each have their pros and cons.

After Lorvian Randall returned to the island, he settled at the Suffering Pray Commerce Guild and issued a reward for finding Simmons’ missing daughter, Briony Simmons, under the name of Saint Heir.

Cassiane Sinclair and Lorvian Randall left together to search for the Clam Pearls while cultivating and honing themselves.

Carson originally intended to join them, but Stanford’s words quelled that idea.

”Clam Pearls?”

”You’re an Alchemist in our Valentine Family Pharmacy, aren’t you afraid you’ll lack Clam Pearls?”

”As long as you become a Superior Grade resident Alchemist, you’ll receive, besides generous compensation, two additional Clam Pearls every month.”

”Focus on alchemy, it’ll both improve yourself and earn you enough Clam Pearls. There’s no need to risk going into the sea; with your limited strength, if you encounter a formidable Sea Demon, forget the pearls, even your life will be at risk.”

Carson stayed without hesitation, practicing alchemy while absorbing Will Power to improve himself.

The days are timeless in cultivation, and before he knew it, Carson had spent three months at the Valentine Family Pharmacy.

Alchemists hold a unique position of respect in the Immortal Realm, and few powerful Alchemists get assigned to the Suffering Pray Sea, with varying skill levels. Carson’s abilities are a dimensional strike against these individuals.

In three months, Carson’s outstanding alchemy performance won Kaldren Stanford’s admiration.

”This is the Elixir Formula for White Bone Jade Algae Elixir; try to comprehend it. The store will provide a certain amount of materials for your practice, but if you need more, you’ll have to purchase them yourself. The store can offer you the materials at cost price.”

Carson nodded, ”Understood!”

Learning a new Elixir Formula requires continuous practice, causing a lot of material wastage in the process, but it’s a necessary path for every Alchemist to master new formulas.

Three days later, Carson found Kaldren Stanford and placed a porcelain bottle in front of him.

”Steward, the White Bone Jade Algae Elixir is completed!”
