The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3728 West King's Palace, the name sounds familiar!

Snow Phoenix Palace.

Xi Yunlang arrived outside the mountain gate, looked at Lin Chen, and smiled brightly.

"Lin Chen, what a rare guest!"

Lin Chen smiled and explained, "I've been busy with cultivation all these years and haven't been out much. I came here today to ask you about something."

Xi Yunlang warmly invited, "Let's go inside and talk."

Xi Yunlang led Lin Chen into the Snow Phoenix Palace and said with a smile, "Didn't you cooperate with the Peach Blossom Palace before?"

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Xi Yunlang, his eyes probing: "Who told you that?"

Xi Yunlang laughed heartily: "Exploring the secret realm, I heard it's a joint effort with the Divine Dragon Sect and the Wolf Fang Hall. This is no small matter, so naturally the news has spread."

Lin Chen naturally didn't elaborate, and answered vaguely, "That's true, I just went along for a bit, it's nothing serious."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Xi Yunlang knew that it was inconvenient to discuss this matter further, so he smiled and said, "I'm not asking about this. After all, every sect has its own privacy and opportunities, which is normal. By the way, how is your strength now?"

Lin Chen replied, "The enhancement from the Heavenly Demon Crystal is quite effective; it should be at a first-class level."

Lin Chen has long since crossed the first-class level and firmly stepped into the ranks of top saints, but he still keeps a low profile when it comes to external affairs.

Xi Yunlang chuckled and said, "You must have acquired quite a few Heavenly Demon Crystals in the outer realms before. Those are truly valuable items for a Saint. One Heavenly Demon Crystal can be equivalent to countless years of cultivation for a Saint."

"It's only been a few years, and you've already grown from a Quasi-Saint to a first-rate Saint. Your speed of advancement is truly astounding!"

Lin Chen smiled modestly, "I have to thank you all for this. If it weren't for Snow Phoenix Palace and Peach Blossom Palace, I don't know when I would have been able to gather all five portions of the Great Dao Spirit."

"I made a trip to Peach Blossom Palace before and received a lot of rewards, such as divine fruits. That's why my strength has increased so quickly. In short, I can say that I'm benefiting from having a powerful backer."

Xi Yunlang curled his lips: "The Holy Land is not a philanthropist. The amount of things you take shows how much help you have done and how much merit you have made. You earned it yourself and deserve it."

The two chatted casually until they arrived at Xi Yunlang's residence.

Xi Yunlang brewed tea for his guest and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You must have heard of the Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, Fellow Daoist Xi?"

Xi Yunlang nodded: "Of course, it's a magic weapon to conceal one's aura, what's wrong with it?"

Lin Chen replied, "I want to buy a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella."

Xi Yunlang looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "Heavenly Secret Umbrellas are not uncommon, but top-grade Heavenly Secret Umbrellas are very rare."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's why I came to ask you. After all, the Holy Land has many connections and a wide range of information, so it definitely knows more than people from a small sect like ours."

After a pause, Lin Chen added, "I also asked the sect leader and the others about this, but no one knows the answer."

Xi Yunlang asked curiously, "Why buy a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella? If you want to conceal your aura, a superior-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella should be sufficient, right?" Since Lin Chen had come to inquire, he naturally already had a reason in mind, and explained cleanly and neatly, "The purpose is a bit special, and a superior-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella might not be enough. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome, so a top-grade one is more reliable."

The teapot flew up, pouring tea into a teacup mid-air. The teacup flew towards Lin Chen and then landed in front of him.

"I don't have an answer to this right now, but I can help inquire about it."

Lin Chen picked up his teacup: "Thanks."

Xi Yunlang didn't care at all. He picked up his teacup and raised it to the side: "It's just a small matter. Why be so polite? But let me make it clear from the beginning: the materials used for the Supreme Heavenly Secret Umbrella are extraordinary and very difficult to gather. So it's very likely that you won't be able to find out any useful information."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I understand, I understand!"

After finishing his tea with Lin Chen, Xi Yunlang smiled and said, "You can stay here for a while and I'll inquire to see if there's any news."

"it is good!"

When Lin Chen reappeared at the reception desk, the manager immediately arranged for two maids to take turns attending to him, fearing that the previous incident would happen again.

Ten days later, Xi Yunlang found Lin Chen and said with a smile, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "The good news is that there's news about the top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, the bad news is that I can't get it?"

Xi Yunlang laughed heartily: "You guessed right."

Lin Chen pressed on, "Having news is better than having no news. Tell me, what's the situation?"

Xi Yunlang replied, "The higher the grade of the Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, the higher the grade of the materials required and the higher the craftsmanship required. Not to mention how precious and rare the materials are, the craftsmanship of a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella is beyond the capabilities of ordinary weapon refiners. It requires at least a Grandmaster level."

"There aren't many weapon refiners who can forge a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, so I went to inquire about the most powerful weapon refiners and the most famous weapon refining sects, and I actually found out."

"The Western Palace, one of the holy lands of the Twelfth District next door, is a renowned sect of weapon crafting. Its strength is unparalleled, and its weapon crafting skills alone are unmatched in the world."

"Wu Haizhi, the top weapon-refining master of the Western King Palace, once refined a top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella. He regarded this top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella as the pinnacle of his weapon-refining career, and this is why many people know about it. That's how I found out about it."

"The good news is that Wu Haizhi has successfully crafted the Supreme Heavenly Mystery Umbrella, but the bad news is that this Supreme Heavenly Mystery Umbrella is Wu Haizhi's masterpiece and is not for sale. In other words, although the item exists, you cannot buy it."

Xi Yunlang spread his hands, looking helpless: "If the other party were a weaker sect, I might be able to help pressure them into selling the top-grade Heavenly Mystery Umbrella. But the Western King Palace is extremely powerful, no less so than the Snow Phoenix Palace. Moreover, Wu Haizhi holds a very high position in the Western King Palace. He is the peak master of the Weapon Refining Peak, one of the three peaks of the Western King Palace, and is very influential. I have no say in this matter and can't help you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. It's already good enough that we were able to find out the information. I'll figure out the rest."

Xi Yunlang warned, "Wu Haizhi is not only skilled in weapon crafting, but also extremely powerful in combat. He is one of the top experts. If you want to find him, you should be careful about your approach. Don't end up getting yourself into trouble instead of getting what you want."

West Palace?
This name sounds familiar!
Wasn't Xi Dongcheng, whom I had captured before, from the Western Palace?

She even shares the same surname as Xi Yunlang.

Lin Chen chuckled: "Okay, I got it. Thanks for the reminder. Now that I have the information, I'll be off!"
