The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3519 A Pie Fell From the Sky?

Dapeng City.

Lin Chen and his two companions walked on the street and, after paying a small price, found out the location of the city's black market.

After resting for half a day, the three of them left the shop in the middle of the night.

The black market is closed during the day and only opens at midnight.

The three arrived at the black market, each paid a fee, and received a black cloak.

Wearing black robes, the three people were difficult to distinguish, apart from slight differences in height and even weight, let alone appearance.

After changing their clothes, the three entered the black market. Everywhere they looked, they saw people wearing black robes, all of them completely covered up, making it impossible to tell whether they were men or women.

The spacious area is filled with stone tables, each serving as a natural stall.

As long as you have something to sell, you can occupy a stone table, write down what you want to sell or buy, and other people with suitable needs or goods will discuss with you. If you reach an agreement, the transaction is completed, and then both parties leave through a special passage.

The passage leading out of the black market is also protected by a special array that can instantly teleport people to a random, safe location, making it impossible for malicious individuals to track them and ensuring the safety of traders.

The three of them wandered around for a while but did not find any stall owners selling or exchanging Dao Spirits. They were somewhat disappointed, but this disappointment was understandable. After all, Dao Spirits were extremely precious and high-end goods, not as common as cabbages, and not so easy to come by.

Since they were already there, the three decided to set up a stall and stay overnight.

What if?
The three of them found a stone table to use as a stall, then picked up a wooden board from the table and wrote down the details of the transaction.

"Requires a spirit of the Great Dao with metal or dark attributes. Exchange is possible. Details to be discussed in person."

The three sat behind the stone table in silence, waiting quietly.

Every now and then, a man in black robes would walk past the three men's stall. When he saw the information on the wooden board, he would often pause for a moment and scrutinize the three men. Of course, such scrutiny was futile.

As time passed, the customers who participated in the black market gradually left, and the number of stalls gradually decreased.

Just as the market was about to close, the three were preparing to erase the words on the blackboard and leave when a man in a black robe suddenly walked over.

"If someone offers a Dao Spirit of the Metal or Dark attributes, what are you prepared to exchange it for?"

The three of them immediately perked up and their eyes all fell on the man in black robes.

The person in the black robe was about 1.65 meters tall. It was hard to tell what their figure was, but they were not bulky. Judging from their height, they were most likely female, though they could also be a short male.

The black robe had a voice-changing spell, so everyone, regardless of gender, heard the same voice.

Duanmu asked, "If I were to exchange it for the Spirit of the Great Dao, what attribute would I need?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment: "If I don't need the spirit of the Great Dao, what can you offer in exchange?"

Ok?
Lin Chen and the other two were all stunned for a moment.

Why not use the spirit of the Great Dao to exchange for it?
"You mean you're planning to sell a Dao Spirit with either metal or dark attributes?"

The man in black robes nodded: "Yes."

Duanmu asked in confusion, "Since it's for sale, why don't you go to an auction house? They have big clients, and with the pre-auction promotion, they're sure to get a higher price."

“It’s inconvenient,” the man in black robes replied. “If I sell directly here, I’m afraid I’ll be taken advantage of. Since you have the spirit of the Great Dao to exchange for, you must be quite well-off. And since you have it, we can have a normal transaction, and I don’t think there will be any problems.”

Lin Chen listened from the side and felt a little strange.

What this person said was logical, but it also showed some signs of immaturity. What did he mean by saying that we would exchange the spirit of the Great Dao, so we wouldn't scheme against him or cheat him?

Duanmu asked, turning to Lin Chen telepathically, "How should I answer?"

Lin Chen replied, "We did confiscate a large amount of divine crystals from Dugu Feng and Nangong Li before, totaling about 70 million. Besides that, although there were some magic treasures and the like, they weren't particularly good and weren't worth much. You should ask him what he wants first."

Duanmu Wen turned his head and replied, "Because we are planning to barter, we haven't prepared too many divine crystals or resources. We only have about 70 million divine crystals, and some miscellaneous items, such as magic weapons and pills, which aren't worth much..."

Before Duanmu could finish speaking, the man in black robes interrupted him: "I have a Dark Attribute Dao Spirit here. If you want it, it will cost seventy million divine crystals. We can trade it now."

Lin Chen and the other two widened their eyes from beneath their black robes.

Did I hear it wrong?
A Dark-attribute Dao Spirit sold for 70 million Divine Crystals?
How can this be?

You should know that if a piece of the Spirit of the Great Dao were to be auctioned properly in an auction house, it would fetch an absolutely astronomical figure.

Seventy million?
If you can get it for three or four hundred million, you're lucky.

Although Lin Chen only spent 40 million to auction a Fire Qilin demon beast spirit, it doesn't mean that the Great Dao Spirit is worth that much.

Can the price of hunting a monster comparable to a saint be the same as the price of becoming a saint?

Ning Hesheng asked excitedly, "Are you serious?"

"Seriously, I can show it to you for inspection, but you have to give me the divine crystals first."

Duanmu Wen replied without hesitation, "Okay, take it out and let us take a look. If it really is, we can give you the divine crystals first."

The black market is surrounded by arrays, so it's impossible for anyone to take something and run.

The other party proposed handing over the divine crystals first, perhaps because they were worried that if they took the spirit of the Great Dao, they wouldn't give him the divine crystals.

This worry was actually unnecessary, so Duanmu Wen readily agreed.

The man in black robes didn't delay. He took out a Dao Spirit Sealing Artifact, held it in his hand, and held it up in front of the three of them.

Duanmu Wen probed with his divine sense and examined it carefully, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed a genuine Dark Attribute Dao Spirit.

Duanmu Wen turned to look at Lin Chen: "It's definitely a Dark Attribute Dao Spirit. Shall we make a deal?"

Lin Chen still felt it was somewhat unrealistic: "Are you sure? It's not like they're using something as a disguise to scam us out of our greed for small gains, is it?"

Duanmu Wen replied with certainty, "Impossible. Although I am not a Dark Attribute Saint, I can still recognize the Spirit of the Great Dao. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Ning Hesheng's attention was also entirely focused on the Dark Attribute Dao Spirit, since if he successfully exchanged for this Dao Spirit, it would be his!
His path to sainthood was then cleared!
Ning Hesheng turned around, his excitement barely concealed: "Yes, I'm sure of it too, it really is the spirit of the Dark Attribute Great Dao."

Seeing that both of them said so, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and took out the spatial ring containing all the divine crystals and handed it to Duanmu Wen.

"If it's true, then let's change it!"
