The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 2253: Kid, You Just Want Me to Be Your Babysitter!

"Thank you, Elder. I will do my utmost to guard it."

Carson Flores sincerely thanked the mysterious elder. According to Delarosa, the Mirror of Elemental Harmony had showcased its might, destroying eighteen powerful beings, a tale from countless millennia past. Yet the elder claimed to have witnessed it firsthand, indicating just how ancient and formidable he was.

Carson inwardly rejoiced that he had made the right choice. Had he opted to confront directly, the result might not have been as favorable.

Perhaps he might not have been killed, but certainly, the Mirror of Elemental Harmony would have been lost, and the Harmony Spring perhaps as well.

The middle-aged man turned to Ben Singleton: "I am the Grand Void. If you are dissatisfied, you may seek me out anytime."

Ben nodded without saying much.

He had his pride. If Carson managed to keep the Mirror of Elemental Harmony, so be it. But if it were taken, he would risk everything to help Carson reclaim it.

As for the opponent’s prowess, it might only alter his approach but never the decision to carry it through.

The middle-aged man nodded: "Then let it be so, extend your hand."

Carson obediently extended his hand. The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a golden light fell upon the back of Carson’s hand, forming a Formation Talisman with a singular pattern resembling a star at its center.

Carson flexed his fingers and made a fist, feeling no discomfort.

The middle-aged man smiled, saying, "In danger, channel your Spiritual Power into it, and it will link you to me. Remember, the Formation can only endure one projection of my power and will be destroyed afterward."

Carson nodded: "Understood, Elder, I have noted it."

"Good luck to you."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his body instantly transforming into golden particles, swirling in the air and quickly dissipating.

Finally, Carson breathed a sigh of relief, having weathered the crisis.

Though he had made a bet, potentially losing the Mirror of Elemental Harmony, there was still hope. Moreover, between saving a life and a magical treasure, Carson would surely choose to save a life.

If Ben Singleton could recuperate, losing the Mirror of Elemental Harmony would be worth it.

Not to mention the comparative value of life and a magical treasure, Ben Singleton was, after all, a Prime Immortal of the Great Land, an immortal prodigy, which on its own warranted saving.

Ben Singleton looked at Carson, his gaze subtle: "You’re really something, handing over such a powerful treasure as the Mirror of Elemental Harmony without hesitation, just to save me, an unrelated person?"

Carson laughed heartily: "How can you say unrelated? Besides, you’re going to teach me Carefree Wander; isn’t just that enough as a debt of gratitude?"

"Moreover, you are a Prime Immortal of the Great Land. I am counting on you to look out for me in the future. The Harmony Water Fire Realm is indeed formidable, but without a Control Method, it’s just so-so. How can a dead object compare to a living person?"

Ben Singleton couldn’t help but laugh: "You rascal, you just want me to babysit you all day long!"

Carson chuckled, vehemently denying: "No, no, we’re friends, but in my heart, I deeply respect you. An elder at home is like a treasure, not just for your strength but also for your knowledge and experience, which are invaluable. Who would make you a babysitter?"

Ben Singleton sighed: "I can’t tell whether it’s your luck or mine that we actually found the Harmony Spring..."

Carson laughed: "Does it matter whose luck it is? As long as we found it, let’s head back to the Pagoda and get your treatment started first."

They returned to the Ethereal Pagoda, back to his small dwelling.

"Just pour the two springs together, and that’s it?"

"Yes."

Carson found a wooden barrel, first pouring in the Nether Spring, instantly bringing a bone-chilling aura. The surface of the barrel immediately froze, the ice curiously black in color.

Carson then poured in the Sun Spring. The fiery Sun Spring caused a violent reaction upon hitting the water, thick white mist rising, and the Cold Ice Energy swiftly diminished, imparting warmth to the area.

Soon, the Nether Spring and the Sun Spring fully merged, the ice on the barrel completely melted, and the liquid steamed, devoid of any intense heat or cold.

Ben Singleton stripped off his clothing, sat cross-legged in the large wooden barrel, fully submerging himself.

Carson smacked his lips: "This is quite simple, I must say."

Ben Singleton had suggested that soaking in the Harmony Spring could stimulate bodily recovery, taking about ten days. Afterward, gradual recuperation with elixirs would restore peak condition.

Carson held the Mirror of Elemental Harmony, sensing within it, finding some Nether Spring and Sun Spring remaining, immediately inspiring a thought.

The Sun Spring, transformed from the quintessence of heaven and earth, represents utmost yang, while the Nether Spring epitomizes utmost yin. Used to aid cultivation of respectively aligned techniques, they would yield twice the result with half the effort.

The Nether Spring was of no use to him, but upon reflection, it could be saved for Shirley Miller, as she cultivated the Divine Maiden Pure Heart Scripture, a technique of extreme yin, proving immensely beneficial for her.

As for the Sun Spring, doesn’t it perfectly match with his cultivation of the Sun True Scripture?
