The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1544 If you quote a price you don't believe, you're dead!

Just as the stall owner was about to speak, Lin Chen suddenly said, "We are Palace Master Ao's guests. If you lie to us, the consequences will be dire."

The stall owner's face stiffened; he hadn't expected Lin Chen to threaten him so easily!

In business, everyone boasts a lot before negotiating prices.
Now that you've said that, who would dare to boast?

After all, in this world, Ao Li, the Palace Master of Wanli Palace, is an unparalleled and supreme being.

The stall owner gave an awkward smile: "Uh, hehe, how could I lie? Healing all injuries might be a bit of an exaggeration, but its effectiveness in healing the soul is well-known. It's absolutely effective and miraculous."

Lin Chen smiled; "Soul?"

The stall owner chuckled, "It's for the primordial spirit. If your primordial spirit is injured in battle, wrapping your whole body in this mud will have a miraculous healing effect on it. It's a little less effective at healing the physical body of cultivators, well, just a little bit..."

Seeing Lin Chen remain silent, the stall owner explained somewhat nervously, "Although this silt is excrement, it's not fully digested. Moreover, after countless years of sedimentation on the seabed, it has nothing to do with excrement anymore. In fact, it has a very nice name: 'Spirit-Nourishing Mud'..."

Repairing the primordial spirit?

This is indeed a good thing.

Lin Chen casually asked, "The items are good, but why haven't you sold them? And the quantity is too small."

The stall owner chuckled, "It's not that no one wants to buy it, but this stuff is very rare and expensive. Most of the demon cultivators in Wanli Palace aren't exactly wealthy, and few are willing to spend a fortune on Spirit-Repairing Mud to repair their primordial spirits..."

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it made sense. These underwater demon cultivators couldn't be that wealthy, since they still had to consume energy during their daily cultivation.

"How much?"

Lin Chen had already revealed his identity, so he wasn't afraid of being scammed by the stall owner. However, he still added, "Although the items are yours and you can name your price, if you quote a random price, you'll be in trouble later."

The stall owner smiled wryly and said, "Since you've put it that way, how could I dare to quote a price randomly? The Divine Mud here is just a sample I've put out. I have more here, about half a cubic meter in total, barely enough to bury a person. After all, this stuff is useless if you have too little, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Name your price."

The stall owner hesitated for a moment before offering a price: "Five hundred thousand immortal spirit stones."

Lin Chen frowned but remained silent.

Seeing Lin Chen's expression, the stall owner quickly said, "I really didn't overcharge. These things aren't easy to find. I was just lucky to come across such a large quantity. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to find this many..."

"make a deal!"

The stall owner was interrupted as Lin Chen readily agreed. The stall owner was stunned: "Huh... what did you say?"

"I bought it."

Without saying a word, Lin Chen took out 500,000 immortal spirit stones and handed them to the stall owner: "If you're not lying, I think it's barely worth buying..."

The stall owner's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Lin Chen as if he were looking at a god of wealth.

Five hundred thousand spirit stones!
If you use immortal stones for cultivation, how long would it take to cultivate?
Rich man!
I had long heard that human cultivators were all incredibly wealthy, and seeing it today, I can confirm it is true!
"Okay, thank you boss!"

The stall owner quickly took the mud and handed it all to Lin Chen, carefully explaining, "When using it, you must bury your head inside to maximize its effect. If it's not enough, you can leave your feet outside..."

"Five hundred thousand immortal spirit stones? I really didn't sell it to you for a high price. In fact, its value is far more than that, but everyone is very taboo about it. They always think that excrement is unclean. But what's unclean about it? It's been in the deep sea for who knows how many years..."

Lin Chen nodded and put away all the Divine Repair Mud.

He didn't actually need this thing right now, but hearing about its effects, his intuition told Lin Chen that in the future, whether for himself or for others, this thing would definitely come in handy.

Excrement?
Putting aside the fact that this thing has been at the bottom of the sea for who knows how many years and has undergone fundamental changes, even if it were true, so what? It can save lives and heal the primordial spirit. What are these things?
Staying alive is the most important thing!
Yao Xuanji chuckled: "You actually bought it?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Well, just in case we need it later."

Yao Xuanji pouted: "Don't use it on me if I'm injured..."

Lin Chen didn't explain, he just smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing Lin Chen's generosity, the stall owner quickly tried to promote other items on his stall, but Lin Chen wasn't interested.

Although the goods from the seabed are novel, very few are of any use to his faction.

Left with no other option, the stall owner said, "Sir, if you're interested in these underwater items, go check out the Sea Flower shop up ahead. They have all sorts of rare and precious things there..."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen and his companion left the stall and continued walking forward.

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "You're browsing so intently, you're really here to buy some goods."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The ocean is vast and boundless, its area is no smaller than that of the continent. Cultivators cannot venture into the underwater world, and the countless treasures it contains are naturally unattainable. Now that we have this opportunity to come to this underwater market, how can we not take a good look?"
