The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1619 Spirit stones are easy to earn, but human favors are hard to come by.

The Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pill is very expensive; basically, it's available but not in demand.

Occasionally, a master alchemist might successfully refine a batch, but it would be snapped up through special channels and would never circulate in the market.

The ten Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pills that Lin Chen took out could truly be considered a big deal.

Jin Buhuan smiled and asked, "Brother Lin, what price are you planning to sell it for?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't know the market rate, Brother Jin, just name a number."

Jin Buhuan hesitated for a moment: "It's really hard to set a price. After all, even one of these pills can be auctioned off and fetch tens of millions of immortal spirit stones."

Lin Chen smiled and raised his index finger: "Since it's hard to say, then I'll just say it: this price for one."

Jin Buhuan looked at Lin Chen's fingers and laughed, "Ten million per piece? That price is acceptable..."

Lin Chen shook his head: "One million each, ten for ten."

Jin Buhuan was stunned: "Brother Lin, what are you doing? It's so cheap, aren't you losing out big time?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "All the raw materials, including the Immortal Jade Mushroom, were bought from the Freedom Ship. It cost around ten million. I only spent a little time. Brother Jin helped me a lot just now. How could I possibly make money off him? I just need to get back the cost of the materials."

Jin Buhuan's eyes lit up.

As he said, the Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pill is extremely difficult to refine and has a high price but no market. Each pill has a starting bid of at least ten million, but Lin Chen only wants one million, which is equivalent to giving away ten million. Ten pills are equivalent to giving away one hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones.

One hundred million!
This is definitely not a small amount!

Even though the Freedom had done countless big deals, one hundred million immortal spirit stones still tempted him.

Jin Buhuan naturally knew that Lin Chen was deliberately returning a favor.

The Freedom ship protected Lin Chen, and Lin Chen chose to repay this favor with ten Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pills.

This is a huge favor I've done.

The question is, should we make money?
Jin Buhuan hesitated slightly, and then the voice of the maid beside him rang in his mind.

"Spiritual stones are easy to earn, but human favors are hard to gain."

Jin Buhuan immediately understood and laughed heartily, "Brother Lin, you are a guest of our Freedom, and ensuring the safety of our guests is our principle. Even if I help you escape the pursuit, I cannot harm your interests. Otherwise, what kind of person would I, Jin Buhuan, be if word got out?"

"Brother Lin, let's make a fair deal so that neither of us loses out. How about this, as I just said, ten million spirit stones per stone, ten stones for a total of one hundred million spirit stones, how about that?"

Lin Chen sighed inwardly. Jin Buhuan was clearly trying to leave a favor without asking for spirit stones. He deliberately mentioned, "Even if I help you get rid of the pursuers," which was tantamount to confirming the favor, and then telling himself that he wouldn't accept Lin Chen repaying the favor with spirit stones.

One's own personal connections are quite valuable.

Jin Buhuan preferred to preserve his personal connections rather than earn 100 million spirit stones, believing that his personal connections were more valuable than 100 million spirit stones.

Well then, I really do owe Jin Buhuan a favor this time, so I'll just pay it back.

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "Brother Jin truly lives up to his reputation as a trustworthy businessman praised by everyone. Then let's do as you say, Brother Jin."

Jin Buhuan laughed heartily, "Alright, I'll have someone get you some spirit stones right away... I think you just picked through everything last time, so you probably don't have anything to buy this time, right?"

Lin Chen nodded. Keeping spirit stones on his person wasn't really that useful; it would be best to convert them into valuable items. Unfortunately, as Jin Buhuan said, he really couldn't find anything he needed.

The beautiful maid went out and returned shortly after, handing Lin Chen a spatial ring.

Lin Chen didn't bother to count them and casually put the rings away.

Lin Chen asked, "Brother Jin, why is the Freedom here?"

Jin Buhuan laughed and said, "Doing business, there is a sect on this island. Although there are not many people and the demand is not big, when doing business, you can't be picky. All customers are welcome. Let's do something that can generate a steady stream of business."

After a pause, Jin Buhuan asked, "Brother Lin, where are you planning to go next?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Naturally, we're heading back to the Myriad Flower Palace. Where is your Freedom heading?"

Jin Buhuan sighed, "Then we're going in different directions. You're going south to Wanhua Palace, while we're going north."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I was hoping to hitch a ride with them for a bit, but it looks like that's not going to happen."

Jin Buhuan smiled and said, "If Brother Lin is not in a hurry, he can be a guest on our Freedom."

Lin Chen declined, saying, "I have some urgent business to attend to and need to return. I'll have to do it another time."

Jin Buhuan laughed and said, "In that case, we'll have to do it next time. That person has already left, so Brother Lin can leave at any time. If you're not comfortable with that, you can wait a day or two."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No need for that. I'll take my leave now. I'll remember what happened today. If you need anything in the future, Brother Jin, feel free to contact me. I'll be staying at the Myriad Flower Palace soon. If I'm not there, you can leave me a message at the White Crane Immortal Sect."

Jin Buhuan had given up 100 million immortal spirit stones just to hear those words, and immediately laughed and said, "Alright, if I ever need your help in the future, I will definitely not stand on ceremony with you, brother!"
