The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2578 Black shop!

The spacious house was brightly lit.

In the spacious courtyard, more than a dozen beautiful young women, dressed in red gauze, were dancing. Their movements were enchanting. On one side of the courtyard, several other women were playing various musical instruments, providing music for the dancers in the center.

A wide table was set up in the courtyard corridor, laden with various fruits, fine wines and delicacies. Two beautiful women served on either side, but the seat in front of the table was empty.

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed, "Distinguished guests have arrived, let's prepare a feast!"

"Yes!"

The two beautiful women serving at the table stood up and quickly took out two tables from their spatial rings, placing them next to the table and setting out food and wine. Their movements were very efficient.

The middle-aged man extended his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, please have a drink with us, and we can chat while we watch."

After Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan sat down, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are living a very comfortable life."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my talent is limited and my cultivation can't be improved. So I'll just become a recluse who indulges in worldly affairs and live out my remaining years. Come, you two, welcome, please!"

The middle-aged man raised his glass and extended a warm invitation.

Lin Chen picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and his gaze changed slightly.

There was medicine in the wine.

Spirit Dispersing Pill!
Lin Chen was not only a high-level alchemist, but also quite knowledgeable in medicine. Even though the smell of the Spirit Dispersing Pill was very faint and mixed with the medicinal aroma of the wine, Lin Chen could still clearly distinguish it.

Lin Chen smacked his lips, tilted his head back again, and swallowed all the wine. But a surge of spiritual energy quietly emerged, enveloping all the wine within it.

Taking advantage of the moment he looked up, he quietly transmitted his voice to Shang Wenyan: "There is a Spirit Dispersing Pill in the wine."

Shang Wenyan raised an eyebrow slightly, but drank the wine without changing her expression.

Seeing that Lin Chen knew there was a Spirit Dispersing Pill, yet still drank it without overturning the table, she knew Lin Chen's intentions, so she chose to remain silent.

The alcohol was drunk, but it was clear it wouldn't have any effect.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw that the two of them had been drinking. He laughed and said, "It's been so long since I've had any guests in this shabby place. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Lin Chen didn't refuse and drank the second cup with a carefree attitude.

The middle-aged man was worried that one cup of medicine wouldn't be enough, but now that he saw that both of them had drunk two cups, he was completely relieved.

If they could just delay for a few minutes until the effects of the Spirit Dispersing Pill took hold, Lin Chen and his companion would be completely at his mercy.

They're a handsome couple, and their skills seem pretty good too; they should fetch a good price!

I wonder how much good stuff the two of them have, and whether they can make me a fortune.

"I am Daoist Mixin. May I ask your names, fellow Daoists?" After giving his name, Lin Chen asked, "Do you know about Netherfire City?"

The Enchanting Taoist was slightly taken aback: "That Netherfire City of City Lord Gu Qinghai?"

Lin Chen looked at the Bewitching Daoist with surprise: "Yes, fellow Daoist knows?"

The Enchanting Taoist shook his head: "I've heard of him, but I don't know his location. People who inquire about Gu Qinghai are usually after his Burning God Sword. You wouldn't be doing the same, would you?"

Lin Chen was slightly disappointed, and nodded, "Yes, so many people are after the Burning God Sword?"

The Enchanting Taoist replied, "The Burning God Sword can sever the life imprint, allowing one to escape from the Heavenly Dao. Although ordinary cultivators cannot use this ability, many cultivators in special circumstances desperately need it, hence the endless stream of people seeking to borrow the Burning God Sword."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Did you manage to borrow these people?"

The Enchanting Taoist chuckled: "Of course you can't borrow it. Controlling the Burning God Sword requires a special mental technique, which only Gu Qinghai knows. And using the Burning God Sword comes at a price. How could Gu Qinghai harm himself to help others?"

Lin Chen's heart sank: "Are there no exceptions?"

The Enchanting Taoist thought for a moment and said, "It is said that some people have succeeded, but I am not sure. In short, it is basically impossible."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and then changed the question: "Where is the nearest city to here?"

In the Western Prison, a city is equivalent to a sect, with an extremely large sphere of influence, including fortresses, strongholds, and other towns.

Once you find the city, you can inquire about it gradually.

The Taoist Master of Bewitching Mind replied, "If you fly northwest from here for about a day, there is a city called Black Tower City, which is the nearest city."

The Enchanting Taoist's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he frowned.

Why isn't the medication working yet?

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you seem to be feeling unwell."

Is the medication about to take effect?

Lin Chen's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table, knocking over his wine glass: "You...you poisoned me?"

The Enchanting Taoist smiled slightly: "It's not poison, just some Spirit Dispersing Pills with special ingredients mixed into the wine. Don't worry, it's normal that you can't control your spiritual power."

Lin Chen pointed at the Bewitching Taoist and angrily said, "We have no grudge against each other. We were just asking for directions. Why are you trying to harm us?"

The Enchanting Taoist laughed heartily: "Why do you think I'm here in this desolate wilderness? Isn't it to wait for visitors from other realms like you?"
