The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3520 A News Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold
Duanmu Wen handed the spatial ring, which had been unsealed, to the man in black robes. After confirming the number of divine crystals inside, the man in black robes handed over the Dao Spirit Sealing Device.

"make a deal!"

The black-robed man's voice didn't change, but the pitch was two decibels higher than before, making him sound quite happy.

Duanmu Wen took the sealing device in his hand, checked it carefully again, and then handed it to Lin Chen.

"no problem."

Lin Chen held the sealing device and scanned it with his divine sense.

There's definitely no problem!
Even though Lin Chen is not a saint, he has absorbed the spirit of the Great Dao of Wood, so he can confirm that it is genuine spirit of the Great Dao of Darkness.

Lin Chen asked, "Deal made. But are there any things we need to be careful about when using this Dao Spirit?"

This dark attribute Dao spirit could have been sold for a much higher price, but the other party sold it to me for an extremely low price. Could it be stolen goods?
Or perhaps there's something wrong with this spirit of the Great Dao, which is why he doesn't dare to sell it at an auction, but instead secretly sells it at a low price.
Since he was willing to sell the Spirit of the Great Dao, it means that he himself did not need the Spirit of the Great Dao. Otherwise, why would he not exchange it for the attributes he needed to help him break through to become a saint?

This man in black robes is a saint!
Lin Chen hadn't expected the other party to answer his question. After all, it was a black market transaction, and if something was really suspicious, why would the other party tell him?
Unexpectedly, the man in black robes answered Lin Chen's question in a serious manner: "If you want to absorb it, you'd better find a place that can completely isolate you from external senses, otherwise, its original owner may sense it."

Seemingly worried that Lin Chen and the others might back out and obstruct the deal, the other party quickly added, "However, as long as you fully absorb and integrate it, there will be no more problems, and you don't need to worry about any trouble."

Lin Chen looked surprised; there really was something wrong with this Dao Spirit.

The original owner?
Sensing it?
This suggests that the spirit of the Great Dao and its original owner may have a special connection. Fortunately, Lin Chen possesses the Linglong Pagoda, so it's not impossible for him to fuse within the Linglong Pagoda during the initial fusion phase.

The exquisite tower is isolated from the world, and its owner should not be able to sense it.

"Thank you for the reminder. Are there any other things I should be aware of?"

The man in black waved his hand: "That's all, just this one thing. Just be careful, and remember to completely shut out all external senses!"

"Ok!"

Lin Chen was already prepared to end the transaction, but then, as if possessed, he suddenly asked, "I need another piece of the Great Dao Spirit with the metal element. Do you have any information on that?"

The man in black thought for a moment and replied, "The Golden Spirit Temple will soon receive a new batch of Golden Attribute Dao Spirits. Since you have Dao Spirits of other attributes, you can go to the Golden Spirit Temple to exchange them. As long as you arrive at the Golden Spirit Temple within three months, you should be able to successfully exchange them."

"If you go too late, the gold might be gone before others can redeem it. This place is quite far from the Golden Spirit Temple, so you'd better hurry."

Zhao Qing's eyes widened in surprise.

Although exchanging for the Golden Spirit of the Great Dao at the Golden Spirit Temple is the safest option, the Great Dao Spirit is finite, and the time it takes for the gods to replenish the Great Dao Spirit is uncertain—it could take decades or even centuries. Just waiting like that is simply impossible.

queue?

Queuing is one option, but you have no idea how long you'll have to wait.

This place is quite far from the Golden Spirit Temple. If it weren't for the news from the man in black robes, even if they searched for the black market all the way there, it would have been impossible for them to arrive in three months. While Lin Chen was overjoyed, a great deal of doubt arose in his heart.

Just who is this man in black robes?
He actually knew when the Golden Spirit Temple would arrive!
Even the higher-ups in the Golden Spirit Temple might not know this news.

Lin Chen had no vested interest in the other party, so he believed the information they provided, since they had no reason to lie to him.

"Thank you for this news. It is very important to me. I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity."

Lin Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and asked sincerely, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

The man in black waved his hand: "It's just a matter of a word, no need to be polite. When traveling the world, meeting each other is fate. Let's go."

The man in black robes seemed to be in a good mood after completing the transaction. He left without hesitation and quickly disappeared into the exit passage.

The three looked at each other, their feelings incredibly complex.

"Let's go too!"

The three erased the words on the blackboard and left, entering the exit passage and a room with eight teleportation portals inside.

The three randomly entered one of the lanes and were then teleported to an alleyway in the city.

The three of them removed their robes and blended into the streetlights.

"These black markets are cleverly designed. Before you enter, no one can see you except the organizers. Once inside, you are covered in black robes, and even your voice is blocked. No one knows who is who. When you leave, you leave through different portals, and there will be a time gap between each other. Similarly, no one can track anyone else."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's a reason why these black markets are trusted and can continue to exist. If people who go in to buy and sell things get into trouble today and tomorrow, who would dare to do business there?"

After a pause, Lin Chen turned to look at Ning Hesheng and laughed, "We really had a stroke of luck today. We actually got another Great Dao Spirit, and it's even the right one for the attribute. Seventy million divine crystals. This is a huge bargain."

Ning Hesheng couldn't hide his excitement; he had been worried about this all along.

If Lin Chen gathers all five elements first, will he choose to enter the Holy Domain directly?
Now that things are going well, he has obtained the Dark Attribute Great Dao Spirit. He and Lin Chen will enter the Holy Domain together. If, as Lin Chen said, they encounter problems inside and are unable to leave, then they can both comprehend and break through their current realms inside, treating this as their last resort.

Duanmu Wen laughed and said, "That's not all. We even got such an important piece of information from that person. We need to hurry, as it's not a short distance from here."

Lin Chen nodded: "Let's find a map first. I'll check the coordinates I left behind. Is there one that's closer? That way, we can save some time. It will take longer to get there, but it will be much faster to come back."

Duanmu nodded: "If you successfully obtain the Metal attribute, are you preparing to enter the Holy Domain?"

Lin Chen nodded; "Yes, since we're ready, let's not delay any longer. You know what, putting aside whether exploring the Holy Domain is adventurous or not, seclusion in the Holy Domain is a very safe place..."
