The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1545 Young people, they just love to brag!
Flower of the Sea.

Lin Chen and the other two looked around in surprise.

The goods here are incredibly diverse, many of which are things from the deep sea that Lin Chen had never seen before, which broadened his horizons.

Suddenly, Lin Chen's gaze stopped.

In a separate display case, there was a blue, gem-like crystal.

The crystal was the size of an ostrich egg and emitted a ghostly blue light.

"Blue Enchantress Crystal!"

The shop owner next door laughed and said, "The customer has a good eye. He recognized the Blue Enchantress Crystal at a glance. It is the treasure of our Sea Flower shop!"

Seeing Lin Chen's delighted expression, Yao Xuanji asked curiously, "What is this? Is it very precious?"

Lin Chen explained, "This is a growth that grows on the fleshy growth on the head of a deep-sea monster called the Blue Devil Shark. Blue Devil Sharks generally only live at depths of several thousand meters and are very powerful. They rarely venture into shallow waters. In addition, this species is rare and extremely difficult to hunt, so this Blue Devil Crystal is very precious."

The shop owner chuckled, "This customer seems to be an expert."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I am an alchemist. I have seen the illustrations of the Blue Enchantress Crystal in a book before, but this is the first time I have seen the real thing. How much is your Blue Enchantress Crystal?"

The shop owner smiled slightly and held up one finger.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "One million immortal spirit stones?"

The shop owner shook his head: "As you said, Blue Enchantress Crystals are extremely rare, and it's hard to find even one. So naturally, the price won't be cheap. That's why I didn't say one million, but ten million Immortal Spirit Stones..."

Lin Chen frowned immediately.

He doesn't have enough spirit stones left!

When he came out, he had ten million spirit stones on him, but he had spent four million on various medicinal herbs and another five hundred thousand on the God-Nourishing Mud. Now he only has about five million left.

"can it be cheaper?"

The shop owner smiled and shook his head: "This price is already very fair; it can't be any cheaper."

Lin Chen hesitated slightly: "Then can I pay a deposit first to reserve this Blue Enchantress Crystal, and then I can bring enough Immortal Spirit Stones to pick it up later?"

The boss asked, "How much deposit can you give?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have five million immortal spirit stones right now, I can give them all to you, just leave me the Blue Enchantress Crystal..."

The boss nodded: "Half of the deposit, okay, I can hold it for you, but I can only hold it for a year. If you don't bring the remaining five million within a year, then I won't hold it anymore, and I won't refund your deposit."

Lin Chen readily agreed with a smile: "Okay!"

Lin Chen handed over five million immortal spirit stones to the shopkeeper to reserve the Blue Enchantress Crystal.

Yao Xuanji asked in a low voice, "It's so expensive, what do you want to buy it for?" Lin Chen replied, "A friend of mine needs it."

"We didn't bring many spirit stones with us this time..."

Yao Xuanji thought for a moment and said, "How about I borrow it from Uncle Ao later?"

The boss listened to their conversation with a rather surprised look in his eyes.

Uncle Ao?
Could it be referring to Ao Li, the Palace Master of Wanli Palace?
Real or fake?
This woman must have some background; after all, not just anyone can call Ao Li "Uncle Ao".

The shop owner didn't say anything. After all, he was just doing business. No matter who it was, they had to pay for what they bought!
Lin Chen smiled and said, "No, I'll figure out a way to handle this myself."

Yao Xuanji frowned and said, "Five million is no small sum. This place is not close to the White Crane Immortal Sect. Are you planning to go back to the White Crane Immortal Sect to get it?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "How could that be? It's such a long distance, going back and forth would take too much time."

Yao Xuanji asked curiously, "So what are you going to do?"

"Of course, it's to earn spirit stones."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that I am an alchemist? Earning five million immortal spirit stones shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

The boss raised an eyebrow.

Alchemist?
Do you think our Wanli Palace doesn't have alchemists?
In order to provide the myriad sea monsters with various elixirs needed for cultivation, the Wanli Palace has quite a few alchemists, and they are just missing you?
That's five million, not five thousand. Do you think it's that easy to make money?

Refining pills is not so easy. Although high-grade pills are valuable, they are not easy to refine. If you are not careful, the furnace will explode, and you will be back to ten years ago.

Young people, they just love to brag!
Yao Xuanji snapped out of his daze and laughed heartily, "That's right, I forgot about that. Once the alchemy furnace is opened, spirit stones come naturally. You are a top-tier alchemist, the new Pill King, possessing unique alchemy techniques..."

The boss's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Lin Chen with shock.

King of Pills?

How can it be?

This man looks very young, probably not even a hundred years old. To become the Pill King, isn't that just wishful thinking?

blow!
Keep bragging!

Just as the shop owner was completely skeptical, Lin Chen turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Boss, could you show me the list of pills you sell?"

The shop owner remained silent, handing Lin Chen a price list of the pills in the store, inwardly sneering and waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Lin Chen quickly glanced at it, a smile appearing on his face: "It seems there aren't many high-grade pills..."
