The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2843 Senior, shall we discuss a business deal?
Once the idea popped into Lin Chen's head, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about it.

This Su Hao is a master craftsman, whose crafting skills are arguably the best in the entire Bitter Sea Immortal Realm. If he could help me craft weapons or teach me how to craft weapons, the rewards would be immense!
What do I have to give up?

It's just a matter of borrowing a light!

This is similar to a smoker having a craving for a cigarette, taking out the cigarette but finding that the lighter won't light it, and then asking someone to borrow a light; they don't lose anything in the process.

Lin Chen quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. At this moment, he was a junior valued by Master Taixu and a friend of Gong Jianying. He had just visited Taixu Mountain. With this background, Su Hao would probably not do something like answering questions and then not returning them.

Besides, no matter how powerful Su Hao is, he's just a peak Great Luo Immortal. If he really wants to do something to me, Zhen Liuxue will recover soon. When Zhen Liuxue and Tia are together, they'll be more than enough to make him regret it!
Lin Chen was meeting Su Hao for the first time and wasn't familiar with him, so he inevitably overthought things. But after thinking it over, Lin Chen felt that this was something he could do!
Su Hao found an old man, greeted him, and chatted with him for a while before preparing to leave.

Lin Chen sent a telepathic message to Gong Jianying: "I'm going out to take care of something. Come with me for a bit. Don't let Wanyan Jie come with me."

Lin Chen left first, and then Gong Jianying made an excuse to get rid of Wanyan Jie and followed him out.

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?"

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What do you think of this Sect Master Su's character?"

Gong Jianying was slightly confused, not knowing why Lin Chen asked this, but still answered readily: "Highly respected, and very famous throughout the entire Bitter Sea Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen nodded: "I'm planning to talk to him about a business deal."

Gong Jianying looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You don't mean you want him to help you forge a flying sword, do you?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We do have that plan, but of course, the specifics will depend on how the talks go."

Gong Jianying asked in confusion, "He helped you forge the sword, but what did you help him with?"

"Didn't he want to borrow a light?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I just want to lend him a light. The reason I asked you to come with me is because I wanted to borrow the tiger skin of Mount Taixu. What if he gets tempted by the light and doesn't return it or even has other ideas? I'd be in big trouble then."

Gong Jianying immediately understood Lin Chen's thoughts and smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two walked side by side and soon caught up with Su Hao in the passage.

"Sect Leader Su, please stay."

Su Hao stopped and turned to look at the two of them, a smile appearing on his face: "You must be Master Taixu's junior disciple?"

Gong Jianying cupped his hands and said, "Junior Gong Jianying greets senior."

Su Hao laughed and said, "What brings you here to chase me?" Gong Jianying pointed at Lin Chen and said, "This is Lin Chen from the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. He is a rising star highly regarded by my master. He asked me to visit the senior with him, saying that he has a business deal to discuss with him."

Su Hao's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and after looking him over for a few moments, he found that he couldn't see through Lin Chen at all.

That kid's something else!
"Young friend Lin, what business do you want to discuss with me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior, how about we find a quieter place to talk?"

Su Hao didn't put on airs and smiled, "Okay, come with me."

With a wave of his sleeve, Su Hao instantly restrained the two of them. Then, Su Hao's body instantly shifted and he appeared in an open space, far away from Xuanbai Valley.

Su Hao released the two and said with a smile, "There's no one here. What's the matter?"

Lin Chen said frankly, "I just saw that you wanted to borrow fire from Master Taixu and Senior Brother Zhou, so I would like to talk to you about borrowing fire."

Su Hao's eyes lit up: "You have a rare fire? A rare fire with extremely high temperature yet extremely stable?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Phoenix Fire."

The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire wasn't powerful enough, and the Solar True Fire was likely to cause trouble, so Lin Chen chose the Phoenix Fire.

Su Hao had never heard of Phoenix Fire before, and asked in confusion, "Forgive my ignorance, but what kind of fire is Phoenix Fire?"

Lin Chen took out the porcelain bottle containing the Phoenix Fire and released it.

Su Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously reached out, but then stopped abruptly and asked for his opinion: "May I give it a try?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Please!"

Su Hao didn't know about Phoenix Fire. After all, there were too many strange fires in the world. He was confined to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, so how could he know them all? However, as a master weapon refiner, he naturally had an absolute ability to distinguish strange fires.

After just a few simple tests, Su Hao's face lit up with immense joy.

"This phoenix fire is not only extremely hot, but also incredibly stable. Most importantly, I sensed a spirituality in it. Could it be that this fire has become sentient and possesses intelligence?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Su Hao was overjoyed: "A wondrous fire with spiritual power—such a thing is extremely rare even in the entire Immortal Realm. Young friend, to have obtained it by such an opportunity truly makes you a person blessed with great fortune..."
