Chapter 947
Hiring Bodyguards
Lin Xiao glanced at the Xuan Turtle Blood in the black-clad cultivator's hand and spoke directly.
"How much is your Xuan Turtle Blood?"
The black-clad monk stood up with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist has discerning eyes. This Xuan Turtle blood of mine is no ordinary blood; it is the blood of the Overlord Xuan Turtle. Surely you recognize the Overlord Xuan Turtle?"
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. Having followed Elder Xuan for so many years, he had learned a lot. The Overlord Xuan Turtle was even stronger than the Golden Armored Divine Turtle he had used to activate his bloodline.
Of course, it's not just about bloodline purity; you also need to consider the bloodline owner's strength during their lifetime.
Make an offer.
Lin Xiao also didn't have the habit of wasting words.
"Alright, fellow Daoist, you're quick to speak your mind. I don't need much more; I just need a powerful and domineering sword technique."
The black-clad monk said with a smile.
Lin Xiao selected some from his memory; they were all precious immortal techniques left behind by Elder Xuan.
Some of these immortal techniques can even be adapted to immortal kings and immortal emperors.
"This sword technique is called the Great Ming Divine Sword Technique. It should be able to be exchanged for your Overlord Xuan Turtle Blood."
The black-clad cultivator was skeptical, but his divine sense scanned the Great Ming Divine Sword Technique. The first sword strike of the technique stirred up a storm in the black-clad cultivator's mind.
"Okay! It's changed!"
The black-clad monk suddenly stood up, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
The people trading around them all looked at Lin Xiao with great interest.
Before Lin Xiao, several sword cultivators had tried to exchange for the essence blood of the Overlord Xuan Turtle, but without exception, the sword techniques they offered did not meet the black-clad cultivator's expectations, and in the end, nothing came of it.
However, he did not expect that the sword technique Lin Xiao provided would excite this person so much that he immediately slammed his fist on the table and changed it.
Some of the other sword cultivators were curious about the sword technique Lin Xiao had used, which had managed to make this tough nut to crack.
Lin Xiao ignored the strange looks from those around him. In any case, he had already disguised himself, and this disguise method was aided by the Eight Immortal Towers, so no one other than the Immortal Venerable Realm could see his true appearance.
After collecting the blood of the Overlord Xuan Turtle, Lin Xiao continued walking forward. Lin Xiao urgently needed anything that could improve his strength, and this spaceship was filled with powerful people and extraordinary individuals from all over the world. Perhaps he could find what he needed there.
"Kid, there's probably something good on your right."
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's voice echoed in Lin Xiao's mind.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed.
"Elder Xuan, your slumber has ended!"
"It's over now. I just rested for a while and I'm fine now. Pick up the bead on your far left. I feel like there's something wrong with that bead."
Elder Xuan's words startled Lin Xiao slightly. He looked to his left and saw a black bead on an ordinary stall. However, it looked completely unremarkable.
However, Lin Xiao, trusting Lin Xuan, walked towards the stall.
"Fellow Daoist, how much does this bead cost?"
The stall owner slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Xiao, and then closed them again.
"The items on the stall are easy to take, you can even take whatever you want, there's only one condition: that you help me expel the fire poison from my body."
The stall owner had a weathered look, like an ordinary person in their seventies or eighties, as if he could be buried at any moment, but his eyes were still extremely sharp.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators nearby sneered.
"Heh, even a Celestial Emperor would find it difficult to deal with the Heavenly Fire Poison; they could only wait to die." "Heavenly Fire Poison, tsk tsk tsk, even a Golden Immortal wouldn't survive more than three years after being contaminated with this stuff, right?"
"Let alone the Golden Immortal Realm, even the Immortal King Realm can only last for about five hundred years."
"It seems this person is almost beyond saving."
"Thinking that the junk on his stall can be exchanged for a chance to save him is just wishful thinking."
There aren't many people who make sarcastic remarks, but those who do are usually arrogant and have powerful connections. Most people who cultivate themselves in a low-key manner remain silent and don't want to cause trouble.
The stall owner remained silent upon hearing these words and continued meditating.
"If you can't do it, then please leave."
"Kid, if I'm not mistaken, this person has been poisoned by the Hellfire Lotus. The Hellfire Lotus is one of the heavenly flames, possessing the terrifying power to burn away sins. Even a Celestial King would be in grave danger if he got involved with it. This person is no ordinary person."
"Elder Xuan, should we still take this bead?"
Lin Xiao originally wanted to leave.
Lin Xuan suddenly continued, "Make a deal with him. You can save him, but you need the bead. Another condition is that he needs to be your bodyguard for three hundred years after you save him."
"Uh." Lin Xiao stood there stunned. Elder Xuan was actually so powerful that he could even cure the poison of the Heavenly Fire?
"A bodyguard for three hundred years? Elder Xuan, why is that?"
"This person is a Celestial King. If you have a Celestial King protecting you, your path will be much smoother. And judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't have much time left. The Hellish Red Lotus will devour his life essence within ten years."
The stall owner sensed Lin Xiao standing in front of his stall, frowned slightly, and was about to tell him to leave when Lin Xiao suddenly smiled:
"If I can cure your fire poison, then can you give me this bead?"
As soon as Lin Xiao said this, the stall owner opened his eyes instantly. Due to the influence of the Hellish Red Lotus, a red lotus flower could be faintly seen in the stall owner's eyes, which looked extremely eerie.
"Fellow Daoist, although I don't know your background, if you continue to toy with me, I won't hold back."
"Heh, if you don't want to live, then forget it."
Lin Xiao also had a temper. He sneered and got up to leave.
The stall owner immediately stood up. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live. Even a little hope was better than waiting in despair.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, the desire to live defeated his pride.
"If you can truly save me, fellow Daoist, I, Duan Yeming, will agree to any other conditions you may have!"
Lin Xiao stopped and turned around to look at Duan Yeming.
"Hehe, I can save you, it's not just empty talk. There are other conditions, of course, but they are very simple. You just need to be my bodyguard for three hundred years. During these three hundred years, you need to protect my safety unconditionally. After three hundred years, I will set you free."
Duan Yeming was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected this condition; they actually wanted him to be their bodyguard, which was hard for the proud man to accept.
"Hehe." Lin Xiao could tell what Duan Yeming was thinking just by looking at him, but Lin Xiao just sneered and turned around without hesitation.
"If you find it too difficult, then you should seek help from someone else."
Lin Xiao walked directly in the opposite direction.
"Wait!" Duan Yeming called out to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao turned around.
Duan Yeming breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, if you can heal me, three hundred years it is!" (End of Chapter)
