The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2552

"So this is the entrance to the Secret Realm..."

The giant ship descended, and groups of experts disembarked one after another, methodically beginning to set up the Formation.

After half a day of work, as the Formation activated, a gigantic Light Gate appeared in midair, connecting to that unknown minor world.

Cyprian Valentine and Darius Aarav each arranged people to stay behind on guard, then led the preselected group and stepped into the Light Gate.

Carson Flores’s vision blurred, and when it cleared the scenery had completely changed. It was no longer barren hills and plains, but lush, dense mountains and forests.

"The lake is to the north."

The group headed north. Carson Flores and Eamon Aarav were protected in the middle, since only the two of them could complete the collection of Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water.

Eight Great Land Prime Immortals as Guards—this kind of treatment made Carson Flores secretly marvel in his heart. So being an Alchemist had a pretty promising future too.

Carson Flores had evaluated his own Alchemy level. Relying on that Primitive Pill Scripture, he was enough to rank among the first-tier experts on the Alchemy Dao, able to carve out quite a name even in the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, but he was still some distance away from a true Grandmaster of the Pill Path or Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine.

The criteria for a Grandmaster of the Pill Path and a Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine were very simple: being able to refine any one of the seven legendary elixirs would qualify one as a Grandmaster of the Pill Path; being able to refine all seven would make one a Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine.

A Grandmaster of the Pill Path was enough to become famous throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, while a Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine could become renowned across the entire Immortal Realm.

Throughout the Immortal Realm, there were quite a few who could be called Grandmasters of the Pill Path, but those who could achieve the level of Grandmaster of the Pill Doctrine were extremely rare.

As for the seven legendary elixirs, Carson Flores had never even seen a single finished pill, let alone an Elixir Formula, much less know how to refine one.

The group flew the whole way, encountering quite a few Demonic Beasts, but the others merely released a hint of their aura and those Demonic Beasts were frightened into scattering in all directions.

Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortals were top-tier combat strength in the Immortal Realm. More than ten Great Land Prime Immortals moving together—how terrifying was that?

This small world truly wasn’t large; after only half a day of flight, they reached their destination.

A vast lake lay like a mirror inlaid into the earth. Even from the air, Carson Flores could sense the faint traces of Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water within the lake.

They were hidden in this immense body of water. Though weak, their presence was crystal-clear to his senses, like threads of light in a field of darkness.

Cyprian Valentine took out a small cauldron and poured Spiritual Power into it. The cauldron immediately lit up, emanating a vast, ancient aura brimming with heavy majesty.

Cyprian Valentine turned and said, "Dain Valentine, you control the Cauldron of Heaven to boil the lake. Finnian Roth, you extract the Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water. Once we start, Demonic Beasts will definitely attack. You two don’t worry about them—just focus on your own tasks. We’ll lure them all away and kill them."

"Got it!"

Dain Valentine sat cross-legged in midair. Spiritual Power surged out of his Sea of Consciousness like a tsunami, pouring into the Cauldron of Heaven in an instant.

The Cauldron of Heaven burst forth with ten thousand zhang of Golden Light, flipped upside down, and in a moment covered a radius of a thousand miles, enveloping the entire lake.

Gigantic whirlpools suddenly appeared on the lake surface like tornados, and one water dragon after another spiraled up into the sky, rushing toward the Cauldron of Heaven above.

Flames roared skyward from the Cauldron of Heaven, yet standing there, Carson Flores didn’t feel even the slightest bit of heat.

Those massive water dragons stretched up toward the heavens, and in the end all extended into the Cauldron of Heaven.

Every second, unknown quantities of lake water were being sucked into the Cauldron of Heaven, yet that seemingly not-so-large cauldron didn’t show the slightest sign of filling up. It was like a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring the lake water.

Within the Cauldron of Heaven, flames billowed upward, and the ordinary lake water was instantly vaporized. As the water evaporated, the aura of Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water hidden within the lake became much denser.

Feeling that pure aura of Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water, Carson Flores immediately understood what he needed to do—wasn’t it just extraction and refinement?

No wonder Cyprian Valentine kept saying this task wasn’t complicated—because it really was very simple.

Forget him or Eamon Aarav; even if they found some Pill Master with just a bit of skill, they would still be able to do it.

Carson Flores sat cross-legged and began guiding the scattered Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water, gathering the fine silver threads into individual droplets, then merging those drops together into a thin stream. Under Carson Flores’s guidance, the stream flowed out of the Cauldron of Heaven and fell into porcelain bottles prepared in advance, each inscribed with Formations.

Easy!

Feeling the dense, pure Spiritual Power aura within that thin stream, Carson Flores estimated in his heart that burning this entire expanse of lake should yield a considerable amount of Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water.

"Roar!"

The immense commotion alarmed the Demonic Beasts dwelling in the lake. Nourished by Heavenly Secret Profound Divine Water, these water demons were incomparably powerful.

Amid their shrieks, a water demon the size of a mountain broke the surface and shot Water Arrows at the people in the air.

Don’t be fooled by how they were just pure Water Arrows—their terrifying power was such that even a Great Land Immortal might not be able to withstand them, and would be turned into a sieve in minutes!

Crispin Valentine took the initiative to meet them head-on, one punch blasting the Water Arrows apart, and another punch hammering the Demonic Beast back into the water.
