The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2197: Chapter 2197: You Know About the Harmony Spring?

”Should we check it out?”

”Sure, why not? We’re just killing time anyway. Your Longevity Lamp is with Cristopher, so they know you’re safe and won’t worry. There’s no need to rush.”

”Alright, let’s go take a look!”

After a brief discussion, they decided to have a stroll around the Donghuang Myriad Immortals Conference.

The conference was held in Tianyu Plain, organized by the Lingxiao Gate of the Purple Dragon Immortal King, one of the Twelve Immortal Kings.

The Purple Dragon Immortal King, Diana Stanton, got her title from her pet purple dragon. This dragon, a mutant from the Dragon Clan, had undergone several transformations under Diana Stanton’s care, eventually becoming a powerful being comparable to the Great Land Prime Immortal. Though not as strong as Diana Stanton, it wasn’t far behind.

Tianyu Plain was vast and sparsely populated. The Lingxiao Gate established a city from scratch, creating the conference venue. Though complex, it was straightforward in essence, as Artifact Refining Masters crafted various building talismans, which, when unleashed on Tianyu Plain, naturally formed a city that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, equipped with all sorts of facilities.

Carson Flores, Selah Ellison Venerable One, Spencer Steele, and Sergio Wilkins traveled together for half a month to reach Tianyu Plain.

With half a month left before the conference, the newly built Myriad Immortals City was already bustling with activity.

The trading market in Myriad Immortals City was teeming with people, and the stalls were densely packed, selling a wide variety of goods.

After securing accommodation at an inn, Carson and Selah ventured out for a stroll, while Sergio and Spencer opted to go their separate ways to avoid playing third wheel.

”Let’s have a look around and inquire about the Harmony Spring. With people from the four domains attending this conference, we’re bound to find information about it if it exists in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain.”

Carson was particularly concerned about Ben Singleton. As a Great Land Prime Immortal, curing Ben would grant Carson a powerful ally. Though he wouldn’t dominate in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, it would certainly deter others from taking advantage of him.

The two departed from the inn and took to the skies, heading towards the markets outside the city.

The bustling market was filled with disciples from Lingxiao Gate, clothed in white robes, tasked with guiding visitors and maintaining order.

Though not necessarily powerful, these disciples had the formidable Lingxiao Gate backing them, so even the Great Land Sovereigns treated them with respect.

After browsing for a while, Carson wasn’t interested in the magical treasures or immortal elixirs on sale. It wasn’t that the market lacked quality items, but rather Carson’s possessions were already formidable.

As with soldiers, quality over quantity applies to magical treasures too. Carson owned a Nebula Sword crafted from Seven-colored Star Meteorite Iron, The Mirror of Elemental Harmony, and the Heaven and Earth Mystical Yellow Linglong Tower, each capable of igniting a fierce battle if displayed.

In addition, the Glazed Universe Umbrella, Nine Dragons Lotus Platform, Emperor Seal, Star-Shifting Gourd, and the Defense Golden Sphere from the Ancestor Dragon were all top-tier magical treasures.

Tatum Howard’s Space Ring also contained powerful treasures, but Carson scarcely used them since his own were sufficiently strong, not to mention that the potency of a magical treasure often hinges on its user’s strength.

Despite his young age, Carson was quite the wealthy man in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain.

Carson stopped at a stall selling trinkets, adorned with a myriad of accessories, from jade pendants for men to bracelets and hairpins for women.

His eyes settled on an exquisitely carved, jade green hairpin that was captivatingly beautiful.

”May I see this hairpin?”

The stall owner enthusiastically handed the hairpin to Carson, explaining, ”This hairpin is carved from top-tier Warm Green Jade. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it has an embedded formation capable of concealing one’s appearance...”

Carson wasn’t concerned about the formation; he simply found the hairpin beautiful.

He gently placed the hairpin in Selah Ellison Venerable One’s hair, his actions soft and tender.

Selah’s lips curled into a gentle smile, her eyes reflecting joy.

This hairpin may not be expensive, but by Carson’s hand, it became precious when placed in her hair.

Admiring the hairpin, Carson smiled, ”It looks beautiful... How much does it cost?”

The stall owner beamed, responding, ”Ten thousand Spirit Stones.”

Carson glanced at the vendor, aware that the price was inflated. He surveyed the stall, picking up another hairpin, exquisite but more playful in style.

”Both for ten thousand,” he offered.

The stall owner began to protest, but Carson casually remarked, ”If not, I’ll pass.”

The vendor swallowed his words, promptly agreeing, ”Deal!”

Carson handed over the Spirit Stones and walked away.

Selah Ellison Venerable One chuckled softly, ”Still a little overpriced.”

Carson laughed, ”I knew it. The vendor saw a beauty and seized the chance to gouge me, not letting the opportunity slip.”

Selah chuckled, ”You knew and still overpaid?”

Carson laughed lightly, ”Because it’s truly beautiful and suits you perfectly. I didn’t want to spoil the mood by haggling.”

Selah smiled, ”Thank you for the gift. I love it.”

Carson took Selah’s hand, ”As long as you like it... This hairpin for Spencer, do you think he’ll like it?”

Selah nodded, ”It’s quite suitable. She’ll definitely love it.”

Carson sighed, ”Spencer has had it rough, losing family so young, her once lively spirit becoming quiet and reserved...”

Selah spoke softly, ”But she still has you, her master. Her heart is open to you alone. She respects us because of you.”

Carson nodded, ”Living together, we’re family now. I hope she becomes lively and cheerful again. The past is over, and we must look forward.”

The two chatted as they wandered the market, eventually stopping at an empty stall.

”Let’s post a request for information. With so many people, someone must know.”

”Alright!”

Carson found a sign and wrote ”Generous Reward for Harmony Spring Information,” placing it at the stall, then set out two chairs for them to sit and wait.

They hadn’t been seated long when a middle-aged man approached, asking quietly, ”You’re looking for the Harmony Spring?”

Carson looked up, smiling, ”Yes, do you have information about it?”

The man nodded, ”I know of it; what’s your offer?”

Carson’s heart leapt with joy, ”You know where the Harmony Spring is?”

The man affirmed, ”Indeed, I suppose hardly anyone else in the world knows of it, and I’m one of those few!”
