The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1619: Chapter 1619: Spirit Stones Are Easy to Earn, Favors Are Hard to Seek

The Immortal Jade Locking-Face Pill is extremely expensive and generally speaking, it is priceless yet unavailable in the market.

Occasionally, when an Alchemy Master successfully refines a batch, it is quickly snapped up through special channels and never appears in the market.

The ten Immortal Jade Locking-Face Pills that Carson Flores offered could really be considered a grand transaction.

Harvey Duncan smiled and said, ”Brother Lin, what price are you thinking of selling them for?”

Carson Flores smiled and replied, ”I’m not familiar with the market rate; Brother Duncan, just name a number.”

Harvey Duncan hesitated slightly, ”Setting a price is indeed difficult. After all, each of these elixirs could sell for tens of millions of Immortal Spirit Stones at an auction.”

Carson Flores chuckled and raised a finger, ”Since it’s hard to decide, I’ll name the price—one pill for this amount.”

Harvey Duncan looked at Carson’s finger and laughed, ”Ten million per pill? That price works too...”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”One million per pill, ten pills for ten million.”

Harvey Duncan was stunned, ”Brother Lin, what are you doing, selling for so cheap? Aren’t you taking a big loss?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”All the materials including the Immortal Jade Mushroom were bought on the Free Roamer, costing about ten million. I only spent a bit of time, and since Brother Duncan helped me greatly, how could I profit off of you? I just want to recoup my material costs.”

Harvey Duncan’s eyes lit up.

As he said, the Immortal Jade Locking-Face Pills are extremely difficult to refine and are priceless with no market. Each one can start at auction for at least tens of millions, yet Carson is asking for one million, equating to a discount of tens of millions, a total of one hundred million Spirit Stones for ten pills.

One hundred million!

This is definitely not a small amount!

Even though the Free Roamer has done numerous big deals, this one hundred million Spirit Stones could still entice him greatly.

Harvey Duncan naturally understood that Carson was intentionally repaying a favor.

The Free Roamer had sheltered Carson, and Carson chose to repay the favor with ten Immortal Jade Locking-Face Pills.

This favor was leveraged greatly.

But the question was, should he capitalize on it?

Harvey Duncan hesitated a bit when the maiden beside him spoke up in his mind.

”Spirit Stones are easy to earn, but favors are hard to come by.”

Harvey Duncan immediately understood and laughed heartily, ”Brother Lin, you are our guest on the Free Roamer, guaranteeing the safety of our guests is our principle, and even if I helped you avoid a pursuit, I cannot undermine your interests. Otherwise, what would people think of me, Harvey Duncan?”

”Brother Lin, let’s keep the deal fair, so neither of us loses out. How about this, as I mentioned earlier, one million per pill, ten million Spirit Stones, how does that sound?”

Carson Flores sighed internally, clearly, Harvey Duncan was determined to leave the favor in place rather than take the Spirit Stones.

His deliberate mention of ”even if I helped you avoid a pursuit” affirmed the favor, and then he stated he wouldn’t accept my using Spirit Stones to repay the favor.

My favor is quite valuable indeed.

Harvey Duncan preferred to keep the favor rather than earn one hundred million Spirit Stones, as he deemed the favor more valuable than the Spirit Stones.

So be it, this time I do indeed owe Harvey Duncan a favor, and debts must be repaid.

Carson Flores laughed freely, ”Brother Duncan truly lives up to the reputation of a trustworthy merchant, then let’s go with what Brother Duncan suggests.”

Harvey Duncan laughed heartily, ”Good, I’ll have someone fetch the Spirit Stones for you right away... I suppose since Brother Lin picked through them last time, there might be nothing left that you’d want this time, right?”

Carson Flores nodded. Spirit Stones aren’t particularly useful when just kept, converting them into valuable items is best. Unfortunately, as Harvey Duncan said, I really can’t find anything I need here.

The exquisite maiden left and returned shortly, handing a Space Ring to Carson Flores.

Carson Flores didn’t count it; he casually put the ring away.

Carson Flores asked, ”Brother Duncan, why is the Free Roamer stationed here?”

Harvey Duncan smiled, ”Doing business, of course. There is a Sect on this island, though not many people and with not a large demand, business is business, one can’t be too selective, any customer is a customer, and this approach sustains us over the long term.”

After a pause, Harvey Duncan asked proactively, ”Brother Lin, where do you plan to go next?”

Carson Flores smiled, ”Naturally, I’m heading back to the Thousand Flowers Palace; where is the Free Roamer headed?”

Harvey Duncan sighed, ”That’s in the opposite direction. You are heading south to the Thousand Flowers Palace, while we are headed north.”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Originally, I thought I’d see if I could hitch a ride, but it seems it won’t work.”

Harvey Duncan laughed, ”If Brother Lin is not in a hurry, you could stay and be our guest on the Free Roamer.”

Carson Flores politely declined, ”I have some urgent matters to attend to and need to return; perhaps next time.”

Harvey Duncan laughed, ”In that case, it’ll have to be next time. That person has already left, Brother Lin, you may leave at any time, but if you’re not assured, you can wait another day or two.”

Carson Flores smiled, ”That’s unnecessary; I’ll take my leave. Today’s events, Brother Duncan, I will remember. If you ever need anything, feel free to find me. I’ll reside at the Thousand Flowers Palace for a while, if I’m not there, you can leave me a message at the White Crane Immortal Sect.”

Harvey Duncan gave up one hundred million Spirit Stones just for this sentence, and he said with a laugh, ”Good, if there really is a matter that requires your help one day, I won’t hesitate to ask!”
