Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2150: Chapter 2147: The True Treasure

"Wow, little brother, you’re devaluing my deep sea cold iron, are you trying to trick me? Are you deliberately lowering the price?" Fatty Huang listened to Lin Tian’s words but was on alert, his expression didn’t seem to be fake.

Lin Tian was amused by Fatty’s serious expression. This guy didn’t seem like a swindler, more like an amateur, insisting that the stone was deep sea cold iron.

"Alright, how much do you plan to sell it for?" Lin Tian asked in line with his words, curious about what exorbitant price Fatty would give.

Unexpectedly, Fatty Huang waved his sturdy palms, seriously saying, "My cold iron isn’t for sale, I want a trade, I only need one elixir."

"Elixir?" Lin Tian was taken aback, thinking maybe this guy knew about his identity as a pharmacist and came specifically to exploit him? However, looking carefully, Fatty’s expression didn’t seem fake, so he asked: "Do you know me?"

Fatty found Lin Tian’s question odd but still shook his head in denial: "I don’t know you. This is my first time attending the martial arts convention; I didn’t even go to the last sword-appreciation event at Qingshuang Pavilion, so most people don’t know me."

"I see." Lin Tian understood, realizing that Fatty Huang was truly an amateur. As for why he was asking for an elixir with such boldness, Lin Tian was unclear.

Not wanting to argue with him further, Lin Tian got up to leave, making Fatty a bit anxious. He quickly reached out to grab Lin Tian, but Lin Tian countered with a backhand grip, catching Fatty’s wrist and staring at him expressionlessly.

What he doesn’t want to buy, no one can forcefully sell to him; that’s Lin Tian’s principle.

Fatty, relying on his strong physique as a power-type Ancient Martial Artist, tried to break free from Lin Tian’s restraint. However, when he exerted his strength, he found he couldn’t move Lin Tian at all, and he was astonished.

"Your... your strength..." Fatty Huang was inexplicably shocked.

Lin Tian released him, saying blandly, "Sell your things properly."

Fatty Huang moved his sore wrist, feeling somewhat aggrieved, saying: "I just want one elixir, is it really that difficult? Why do those family heirs get whatever they want?"

"What elixir do you want, and what for?" Lin Tian still asked coldly.

"I need a Shaoyang Pill. My father is injured, and only the Shaoyang Pill can save him. I heard that the auction house had Shaoyang Pills some time ago, so I came to Langya Pavilion as a contestant, precisely for a Shaoyang Pill," Fatty Huang honestly said.

Shaoyang Pill, isn’t it what I put up for auction? Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Do you think this stone of yours can be exchanged for a Shaoyang Pill?" Lin Tian remained calm and asked back.

Feeling ashamed, Fatty Huang said with embarrassment: "I also know that the stone might not be deep sea cold iron and isn’t worth much, but what else can I do? Besides this, what can I do? Should I stand by and watch my father die?"

"I also wanted to win first place at the martial arts competition and then request the elixir as a reward from Langya Pavilion, but I can’t possibly defeat Ji Zimo; he’s the number one young guy in the Ancient Martial World. Besides exchanging deep sea cold iron, I really have no other way."

In the end, Fatty was somewhat despondent, such a big man was almost about to cry.

Lin Tian reached into his pocket, took out a small jade bottle, and handed it to Fatty: "This is a Shaoyang Pill, take it."

"Sha... Shaoyang Pill?" Fatty Huang was stunned, then overjoyed, becoming a bit flustered: "I... I don’t know what to say. You don’t think the stone is valuable, so why are you still trading with me?"

"Because I have a classmate also named Fatty Huang," Lin Tian said flatly.

"Thank you..." Fatty babbled incoherently, nodding and thanking repeatedly, then picked up the mineral on the ground along with the wrapped leather and shoved it all into Lin Tian’s hands: "The mineral is yours, thank you..."

Then Fatty Huang gripping the jade bottle tightly, ran off hastily.

"Lin Tian, you were too easily deceived, weren’t you? Fatty said a few words and you handed over the precious elixir," Ling Shuiyao’s voice came from behind.

Lin Tian turned to see several beauties present—Miss, Xiao Manxuan, Yun Xiaotian, Ling Shuiyao—all looking at him in disbelief. They clearly found it strange that Lin Tian, usually so shrewd, was deceived, handing over the elixir.

Miss and Xiao Manxuan were different; they looked at Lin Tian with smiles and even some approval.

Lin Tian glared at Ling Shuiyao, tossed the "deep sea cold iron" over indifferently: "The mineral is yours."

After tossing the mineral, he wanted to throw the leather too but stopped at the last moment, because he felt a familiar touch from the leather.

Soft yet firm, tough yet not stiff, this texture was exactly like beast hide!

Could it be true? Lin Tian was overjoyed inside, this surprise came too suddenly, too unexpectedly.

Ling Shuiyao saw Lin Tian rubbing the beast hide, unable to let go, and couldn’t help but scorn: "Darn it, Lin Tian, are you blind? You think this piece of leather is a treasure?"

Repressing his joy, Lin Tian discreetly collected it, then smiled slightly: "Don’t you want to know if I was deceived? Let’s go and see."

"Humph, let’s go, thinking I’m afraid of you." Ling Shuiyao tilted her chin, snorted cutely.

"Miss, shall we go together?" Lin Tian invited the lady CEO.

"Alright, I also want to see the outcome," Miss said blandly, while Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiaotian, keen on seeing the excitement, naturally didn’t refuse.

Lin Tian took the lead to step out, the beauties followed, tracing Fatty’s figure.

Shortly after leaving, the group arrived in front of a yard, and a man among them looked into the distance, puzzled: "Isn’t that Lin Tian?"

"Brother, are you seeing things?" Another woman said displeasedly.

"Miss Situ Ruoling, your brother didn’t see wrong, that person is Lin Tian, Xiao Manxue, and Ling Shuiyao are also there," another man said blandly.

"It really is him! I’m going to kill him!" The woman’s eyebrows rose angrily, her gaze fierce as she was about to rush over.

Her brother quickly pulled her back, whispered: "Are you crazy, rushing to your death?"

"Brother Situ is right, Miss Ruoling, you’re not his match, it’s best not to be impulsive," the man had an inexplicable light in his eyes, seemingly advising but perhaps stirring trouble.

The woman indeed got furious: "Li Wenfeng, what do you mean by this? Could he dare kill me? If he tries anything, I’ll cry assault, accuse him of improper intentions, gathering these Ancient Martial Artists from all over, I’ll ruin his reputation."

"Ruoling, let’s not mention this anymore. Let’s go into the trade fair and focus on finding the Ice Soul, Lin Tian’s matter can wait," Situ Yufeng said sternly; in truth, he was equally at a loss, not knowing what his sister might do.

"Humph!" Situ Ruoling snorted coldly, not chasing Lin Tian further, but her eyes were gleaming, reflecting her swirling thoughts.
