Beauty and the Bodyguard

"That's more like it. Since we're all friends, we can't just keep calling him Master Lin. In the future, Chairman Zhuang, you can just call him by his full name. If not, you can just call him little brother. " Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll call you lil bro Lin then. But if that's the case, you don't have to call me President Zhuang. Since we're of the same generation, you can call me big brother Zhuang. How about that?" Zhuang Yifan immediately said.

"You're the Big Brother. " Lin Yi laughed.

The two were trying to get closer to each other, calling each other brothers in a few sentences. Zhuang Yifan was many times older than Lin Yi, but he maintained the appearance of a young man. The two of them really did look like brothers when they stood together.

Zhuang Yifan finally stopped hiding and said directly,""Lil bro Lin, there's something I wanted to ask you last night, but I was afraid it'd be too sudden. Since we're friends now, I'll just be Frank-how confident are you in breaking through to Mystic second level?"

"I can't say for sure. Although I'm pretty sure about it, no one can be sure until it's successful. Don't you think so, big brother Zhuang?" Lin Yi smiled faintly.

"That's true," Zhuang Yifan nodded repeatedly, overjoyed at Lin Yi's confidence. Seven to eight out of ten, didn't that mean Lin Yi was very confident?

If it was someone else boasting like this, Zhuang Yifan would've scoffed at it, but Lin Yi was different. The earth strengthening pill he'd taken had already proven his skills, not to mention that he was the last disciple of Zhang Liju, the God of alchemy. Reaching Mystic second level was only a matter of time-there was nothing to be surprised about.

"From what you're saying, brother Zhuang, do you need a Mystic second level pill?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's right. To be honest, after taking your earth stabilizing pill, I've recovered to my peak. I'm only one step away from the peak of the late stage of earth creation. After that, I'll be at the great circle of earth creation." Zhuang Yifan admitted.

"That's a good thing. When you complete the earth splitting stage, brother Zhuang can start to break through to the sea splitting stage. " Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little excited as he spoke.

Reaching the sea-shattering realm meant that he wasn't far from the five poison Dragon or the giant electric eel he'd seen before. Unfortunately, Lin Yi himself was only at the early stage of the mysterious Ascension realm. He was still a long way from the mountain-opening realm, let alone the sea-shattering realm.

"That's right. That's true. However, it's very difficult to break through to the sea splitting stage by relying on one's own strength. One still needs the assistance of medicinal pills." Zhuang Yifan frowned slightly.

"What pill? As far as I know, after reaching the nascent Soul Stage, medicinal pills can no longer be used to break through a large realm, right?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Yes, the pill I'm talking about is called the accept sea pill. It's not used to break through barriers. It's actually just an auxiliary pill, just like the Thunder profound pill." Zhuang Yifan saw that Lin Yi didn't quite understand and explained,"When you try to break through to the mysterious Ascension stage, you need to use the Thunder profound pill to resist the Thunder tribulation, but it's not necessary to use the Thunder profound pill. If you are strong enough, you can rely on your own strength to withstand it. The same logic applies to the sea acceptance pill. It's not necessary to have it, but it can make the breakthrough smoother, that's all."

It dawned on Lin Yi-this meant that the pill itself couldn't be used to break through to the sea shattering realm, and the entire process still depended on one's strength. The pill was just like the Thunder Mystic pill, providing a better environment for breaking through.

"If that's the case, could it be that there are heavenly tribulations such as lightning tribulations when one breaks through to the sea splitting stage?" Lin Yi asked.

"That's not the case. One lightning tribulation is enough. How can it come every time? otherwise, wouldn't the heavens be busy?" Zhuang Yifan laughed and explained,"the welcoming of sea pill is not used to resist any divine punishment. It is a miraculous elixir used to transform our physical bodies. It can transform our dantian into a vaster elixir sea. This elixir sea is the first step to breaking through to the sea splitting realm."

"So that's how it is. Then does this pill sea need to take the all in sea pill to form?" Lin Yi asked again. The damn thing was in seclusion these days, and he had no one to ask this kind of question to. He could only go after Zhuang Yifan.

"That's not necessarily the case. In fact, even if we don't use the henna pill, we can still transform it bit by bit with our own strength. It's just that this process is very difficult and long. If you lack talent and perseverance, it's basically very difficult to succeed. Even if some people persist and succeed in the end, they miss the opportunity to break through because they drag on for too long. They will never be able to advance to the next level in their lives. But using the henna pill can save them this long process." Zhuang Yifan patiently answered every question he asked.

"Thank you, big brother Zhuang, for explaining. I'm sure this welcoming sea pill is a Mystic second level pill, right?" Lin Yi guessed.

"That's right, you can't buy this pill in the entire golden sea region. You'll have to prepare the ingredients and ask someone to make it for you, but it's very hard to find a Mystic second level refiner. Even in the mystic Sea region, they're very rare, let alone in the Golden sea region. So I can only place my hopes on you, lil bro Lin. " Zhuang Yifan forced a smile.

In the entire Golden Division sea, there was only one Mystic first level refiner, and he was beaten half to death by Lin Yi. Zhuang Yifan couldn't find anyone to help him. It wasn't impossible to go to the mystic division sea, but he didn't even know a Mystic second level refiner. Why would he help him?

And so, Lin Yi, who was about to break through to Mystic class level two, was his only hope. This was why he was so polite to Lin Yi. Otherwise, as a Grand late-stage earth creation master, he wouldn't lower his attitude to Lin Yi even if he had to be polite to him. At least, he wouldn't call Lin Yi a younger brother.

"Since big brother Zhuang thinks so highly of me, I can't let you down. When I break through to Mystic second level one day, you can count on me for your welcoming of sea pill." Lin Yi promised.

He believed that with the Shennong cauldron's condition, it wouldn't be difficult to make the welcoming of sea pill. First, it would be the solidifying earth pill, then the welcoming of sea pill. This way, Zhuang Yifan would definitely value him more. By then, Zhuang Yifan might have already reached the sea shattering stage. He was a super helper, so how could Lin Yi let him go?

"Good, lil bro Lin is indeed a person who values friendship. It's my good fortune to have a friend like you." Zhuang Yifan was overjoyed. He said seriously, "I'm not one to make promises, but I'm going to make an exception today. From now on, anyone who dares to harm brother Lin will be my enemy. " (To be continued.)
