The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1500 You can refine pills, so why can't I?
"First, buying and selling things follows the principle of first come, first served, and I have the right of first refusal."

"Secondly, I was only discussing the price, I didn't say I didn't want it, and the item is in my hands. I was the one who gave it the Immortal Stones first, so it's naturally mine."

Lin Chen turned around, staring calmly at the two of them, and asked in a neutral tone, "Is there a problem?"

The man and woman looked at Lin Chen, who remained calm and composed, with slightly surprised and suspicious eyes, after all, he was too calm.

The man cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Zeng Tongxiu, and this is my junior sister, An Congyun, a disciple of the Twin Dragons Sect. May I ask your name?"

Lin Chen was not wearing the white robe with the White Crane Immortal Sect's insignia. This was not intentional on his part, but rather because he wanted to wear the more defensive Ink Silk Robe.

Safety first when you're out and about.

Lin Chen casually returned the greeting: "Lin Chen, White Crane Immortal Sect."

White Crane Immortal Sect?

Zeng Tongxiu and An Congyun exchanged a glance, both of them showing a hint of apprehension.

The White Cloud Immortal Sect is a top-tier power on the Cloud Sky Continent. Although it is no longer as glorious as it once was, it is not an object that can be bullied at will.

The Twin Dragons Sect is very powerful, no less so than the White Cloud Immortal Sect. Moreover, the sect is most skilled in alchemy and has a wide circle of friends. As a result, the disciples of the Twin Dragons Sect can practically walk around with impunity in the land of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty.

Zeng Tongxiu hesitated for two seconds, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I am an alchemist. I am currently refining a certain kind of pill, but I am missing pure Yang wood. I have been searching for it for a long time, and I only found this piece today. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin would be willing to part with it? I am willing to buy it at double the price..."

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "What a coincidence. I am also an alchemist. I also need to refine a kind of pill, but I am missing pure yang wood. I have been wandering around this market for several days, and I finally found it today."

Lin Chen didn't say whether he was willing or not, but Zeng Tongxiu understood.

Others need it too, so I'm not selling!

Zeng Tongxiu's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly, but for the sake of the Pure Yang Wood, he continued, "My master is Yan Jijiang, the sect leader of the Twin Dragons Sect. When traveling, helping others is helping yourself. So, if Fellow Daoist Lin is willing to part with the Pure Yang Wood, I can refine a batch of high-grade pills for you free of charge. How about we become friends?"

Wow, so they're showing off their family background, preparing to intimidate others with their power.

Lin Chen had gone to great lengths to acquire a piece of pure yang wood, so why would he be willing to transfer it away?

You are the sect leader's disciple, and I am the sect leader's junior uncle!

Afraid of you? You can refine pills, but do you think I can't?
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Zeng, but I can refine the pills I need myself. I'm just missing the materials. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Zeng can look around and find someone else to sell them?"

Zeng Tongxiu's face turned completely cold.

He was the most talented disciple of the Shuanglong Sect and was accepted as a true disciple by the sect leader. He had a noble status and was fawned over wherever he went.

In the Phoenix Dynasty, apart from the Death Sect, who else did he need to be wary of?
Now, for the sake of this piece of pure yang wood, he lowered his own status and tried to persuade the other party with kind words. First, he offered double the price, and then he even promised to refine pills for free. Yet the other party didn't appreciate his kindness.

Is my own reputation and my promise to help others refine pills not worth a mere 100,000 immortal spirit stones, or even a piece of pure yang wood?
You ungrateful animal!
Do you think you're something special just because you're a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect?
An Congyun, standing nearby, sneered, "You're really pushing your luck. Alchemist, huh? You mean you can only refine low-level pills, right? As far as I know, your White Crane Immortal Sect doesn't have a single person who can handle alchemy."

Lin Chen smiled, not angry at all.

Although An Congyun was deliberately being sarcastic, what he said was indeed true. There were very few people in the White Crane Immortal Sect who were good at alchemy, and even if there were, they were not very skilled.

"Perhaps in everyone's impression, our White Crane Immortal Sect is not good at alchemy. I came to participate in the alchemy competition this time to change everyone's impression of the White Crane Immortal Sect."

An Congyun sneered, "You're representing the White Cloud Immortal Sect in the Pill King Competition?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I've already signed up."

"Haha, you..."

An Congyun laughed wildly and arrogantly: "There are so many talented alchemists participating in this competition. With the foundation of your White Crane Immortal Sect, what kind of alchemists can you cultivate? You want to vindicate your sect? I'm afraid I'll just confirm your reputation as a trash alchemist."

Zeng Tongxiu sneered, "The White Crane Immortal Sect is quite powerful, but alchemy is not like fighting. Alchemy requires talent, and a sect needs to have a foundation to cultivate powerful alchemists. Does your White Crane Immortal Sect have any powerful alchemists? What kind of alchemy foundation do you have?"

In public, and inside the city, Zeng Tongxiu naturally wouldn't make a move, since he was in the wrong.

Normally, he would have acted without hesitation, but now that the market is filled with cultivators from all the major sects of the Cloud Sky Continent, if he were to act recklessly, regardless of the outcome, the reputation of the Twin Dragons Sect would likely be ruined.

Since the other party is here to participate in the alchemy competition, isn't this my forte?

I can totally abuse and humiliate him in this way!

You want to steal my things?
I'll make you lose all face!
