Beauty and the Bodyguard

In fact, he hadn't even figured out how to make money from the remaining spiritual jade. And as news spread that he was being used by many newcomers to defraud good jade with scrap jade, the first ones to come to his door were not just the newcomers from other pavilions who were also ready to make a move. , and it turned out to be senior brother Kupu.

Although Lin Yi was a little surprised by the visit of Brother Kubi, he was still quite happy. The reason is very simple. Senior brother Kubi sent over the three to four hundred pieces of waste jade he mentioned before, which is a big sack.

Looking at this sack full of scrap jade, Lin Yi was naturally overjoyed. A rough estimate showed that there were at least 350 pieces of scrap jade in it, plus the more than 80 pieces he already had on hand, which meant that There are more than 430 pieces of spiritual jade. Faced with such a result, it would be strange for Lin Yi not to be overjoyed!

Seeing Lin Yi's joy, Senior Brother Kubi was naturally happy for him, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help asking the question in his heart: "Junior Brother Lin, there is a rumor outside, and even the newcomers from the other two pavilions have heard about it. He said that someone exchanged scrap jade for fifteen pieces of fine jade. What on earth is going on?"

Brother Kubi had already known about the fact that Lin Yi was exchanged for good jade by Meng Jueguang. He thought it was just Lin Yi who accidentally suffered a loss and was deceived. However, he did not expect that this would happen in just a few days. Things, and the rumors are so real that they are true!

This made him a little confused. Even if Lin Yizhen was as "stupid" as rumored, the question was, where did he get these fifteen pieces of high-quality jade?

Others thought these good jade were the fifteen yuan that Meng Jueguang lost in a bet, but Brother Kubi knew that all these good jade were in the hands of Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, and Lin Yi didn't want any of them!

And if you include the piece of spiritual jade that Meng Jueguang defrauded before, Lin Yi, as a newcomer, should not have any good jade at hand now! But the rumors sound decent, and they don't seem to be false. If they are purely rumors, this kind of thing may happen among ordinary people, but these are all heaven-level masters, and it is impossible to do this. Not even the most basic ability to identify!

"This... is actually a little secret of mine. After hearing this, Brother Ku, you have to keep it a secret for me." Lin Yi had known that Brother Ku would ask such a question, so he had already thought of a way to say it. Of course , he would not mention such things as the jade pendant space.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Lin, I will keep it secret, but if it's inconvenient, you can actually keep it secret." Senior Brother Kubi said thoughtfully. His starting point was just to care about Lin Yi's situation, but he didn't necessarily want to know about Lin Yi. What a secret.

Lin Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Brother Ku, you already know that I am an alchemist. I recently discovered one thing. When making alchemy, if you use these waste jade as auxiliary materials, you can improve the alchemy." The success rate was low, so I secretly refined some more elixirs and sold them in the market, and that’s how the good jade they exchanged came from.”

"So that's it." Senior Brother Kubi suddenly realized, but then he asked: "But Junior Brother Lin, since you used the elixirs in exchange for these good jade, why don't you keep them for yourself? Could it be that you can use them after replacing them with scrap jade?" Is refining alchemy more profitable?"

"It's true, so I'm happy to pretend to be the idiot they call me, and secretly make a fortune secretly." Lin Yi chuckled.

Now even the hard-working senior brother was happy: "I just said that with your wisdom, junior brother Lin, how could you suffer such a big loss? It turns out that this is the case. Fortunately, I was worried for a while before!"

The words of Brother Kubi were not false. He was really worried about Lin Yi before he came here. Lin Yi was a little moved in his heart. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He turned around and avoided the opponent's sight. He took out thirty pieces of spiritual jade and pretended He picked up a bag and handed it to Brother Kubi.

Senior Brother Kubi was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Junior Brother Lin, what do you mean? Do you think that Senior Brother, I am just like the others, and I came to you to exchange scrap jade for good jade?"

Seeing that Brother Ku was really angry, Lin Yi hurriedly explained: "Brother Ku, you are overthinking. If you really follow the three-to-one exchange ratio like other people's, my thirty pieces of good jade cannot be exchanged for as much as you." Feiyu, this is just causing you to worry about me, Senior Brother Ku, and I feel sorry for you, Junior Brother, so I’m just expressing my feelings.”

"This... but Junior Brother Lin, you need these good jade more than I do!" Senior Brother Kubi was a little moved, but still insisted on not accepting it. Speaking of which, in the years he has been a steward, he has never seen so much good jade at one time. Thirty pieces of good jade are enough to sustain his cultivation needs for a long time.

"Haha, Brother Ku, you don't have to worry about me about the spiritual jade. Don't forget that I can still make money by refining elixirs, especially since you provided me with so much waste jade, which is enough for me to refine a lot of elixirs! So please accept these spiritual jades as quickly as possible. Do we, brothers and sisters, still need to be so serious? That would really chill me, junior brother!" Lin Yi persuaded with a smile: "Both Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai accepted it. Well, if you don’t accept me, Senior Brother Ku, do you mean you don’t regard me as one of your own?”

Lin Yi said this, and it was hard for Senior Brother to refuse, so he had to say with shame: "Then... well, Senior Brother, I will be shameless and take advantage of Junior Brother Lin this time. I will keep this favor in mind."

If it were different before, he might still insist on not accepting it, but now that he has been entrusted by Lu Bianren, in order to be able to fight against Meng Jueguang in the future, he urgently needs to improve his strength. Naturally, the more things like Lingyu, the better.

"Senior Brother Ku, what you said is serious. By helping you, aren't I helping myself?" Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly.

In fact, if he didn't want to save up the spiritual jade to buy the star ink stone, he could give more. But after giving thirty yuan now, he only has less than five hundred yuan left on hand. If he gives more It may not be enough by then.

Brother Kubi nodded gratefully and carefully put away the thirty pieces of spiritual jade. After thinking about it, he reminded Lin Yi: "Junior Brother Lin, you must have heard the saying that a man is not guilty but a jade in his possession is his crime. You will Although others know about alchemy, it doesn’t matter if it spreads out, but if your alchemy success rate is high, you will still get into trouble after all, so it’s better to be cautious in the future.”

"Senior Brother Ku, don't worry, I know this well." Lin Yi responded.

Brother Kubi was about to leave immediately, but he hesitated for a long time before leaving. Finally, he turned to Lin Yi and said: "Junior brother Lin, since you are an alchemist and your success rate is not low, I wonder if you can help me refine an alchemy." A pill called the Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill?"
