Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Damn it, Brother Lin, you're not going to get another ancient treasure that's rare in this world. My heart can't stand such a big stimulation." The Tattered King said in surprise, but his head couldn't help but poke his head over. , took out some blood-red gravel and observed it carefully.

After a long while, the Tattered King shook his head helplessly: "I don't know about this thing anymore. It shouldn't be used for casting, otherwise I have no reason not to recognize it. However, even so, I can see that this is definitely a good thing. Brother Lin, you You can take it to auction and have it appraised, and you should be able to find out then.”

Lin Yi was not surprised by this. It was normal for the King of Rags not to recognize something that even the devil didn't recognize. However, he originally thought that this would be a casting material, but now it seems that he was mistaken.

After that, the two talked about the casting of weapons. The extraordinary knowledge displayed by the Tattered King in this regard really opened Lin Yi's eyes and gained him a lot of knowledge.

And this, according to the Tattered King himself, was just the result of Sun Sikong's casual instructions for a few days. Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The world of cultivation is really full of experts, hiding dragons and crouching tigers!

"Brother Lin, I leave the seven materials to you. I can't help you in this regard, but I just take this time to make some preparations. After all, casting the magic weapon is a big deal, and there is no room for sloppiness. There will definitely be no room for it when the time comes. It's a mistake!" The Tattered King said seriously to Lin Yi.

"Then don't bother Brother Wang. I'll take my leave first. Brother Wang, just wait for my news." Lin Yi stood up and left immediately.

After leaving the cave, it was not too late at this time. Lin Yi immediately set off for Fangshi. The purpose was naturally to go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to find Hong Zhong to inquire about the auction.

However, Lin Yi did not go directly to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but stopped by Chen Heihu. It had been some time since he last came here, and he wanted to see if there was any news about the Heart-Eating Linglong Grass.

The answer he got from Chen Heihu made Lin Yi a little disappointed. Chen Heihu had already spread the news of purchasing the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass with a large sum of money to all his contacts, but so far there has been no news.

It can be seen that the elixir of the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass is indeed a rare thing. If you could find it outside the back mountain before, you would be lucky if you could find it in the elixir seeds distributed by Lingyu Hall.

Fortunately, when the east is not bright, the west is bright. There is no news from Chen Heihu. Lin Yi asked Hong Zhong for help.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped into the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong, who happened to be patrolling downstairs, greeted him and led him to the private room on the second floor. Then he said: "Young Master Lin, you asked me to help you purchase the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass last time. Now, I have already received two plants, I will have someone install them for you."

Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper Hong. I wonder how to calculate the price?"

"Haha, then let's take one hundred spiritual jade plants. What do you think of Lin Shaoxia?" Hong Zhong said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Lin Yi's heart moved, knowing that the other party was selling his favor again. If it was an ordinary elixir, it could usually be bought with a few pieces of spiritual jade. A hundred spiritual jade could be considered a heavenly level. However, things are rare and expensive. The Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass is so rare that one hundred spiritual jade plants are almost half sold and half given away. Presumably his original purchase price was not so low.

Lin Yi did not answer in a hurry, but instead handed the blank piece of paper written to him by the Tattered King to Hong Zhong and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, in addition to the matter of the Heart-Eating Linglong Grass, I am here to buy something." I wonder if the Chamber of Commerce has stock of the items listed on this list?"

"Oh? Young Master Lin, please wait for a moment. I will ask someone to check." Hong Zhong motioned for Lin Yi to drink tea and gave instructions to the boy waiting at the door.

After a while, the young man reported back: "Of the seven materials, our chamber of commerce currently only has the mysterious water drop in stock, with a price tag of 649 spirit jade, and the other six are not available."

Sure enough! Lin Yi had expected this, but he didn't have any regrets. He said calmly: "Then package this mysterious water drop and the two heart-eating exquisite grasses together for me, totaling one thousand spiritual jade. Can Shopkeeper Hong do it?"

Hong Zhong immediately laughed, waved his hand and said: "Young Master Lin is joking, I know you mean well, but in business, since I said one heart-eating exquisite grass and one hundred jade, then I won't charge you half a dollar more. Otherwise, where is the integrity of a businessman? If someone finds out, who will dare to do business with our Hong Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Yi knew he had made a mistake, so he could only say: "Okay then, I will use the extra jade to buy elixirs. Is this okay?"

Lin Yi never liked to owe anyone favors. Since Hong Zhong refused to accept more spiritual jade, he simply went back to refine some elixirs. Next time, he would bring him some top-quality foundation-building and barrier-breaking elixirs. Hong Zhong would definitely be asking for them. I will never refuse like this again.

Hong Zhong seemed to have seen Lin Yi's plan, and smiled knowingly: "Then I would like to thank Lin Shaoxia for taking care of me. If Lin Shaoxia is not in a hurry, I can also have the remaining six materials be watched for you, along with the heart-eating ones." Just like Linglong grass, after a while, you might gain something."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Hong, but I heard someone say that there will be an auction on Beidao next month?" Lin Yi asked tentatively.

Hong Zhong immediately heard Xian Ge and understood the elegant meaning. He nodded and said: "Yes, this auction is not low-level. You should be able to find what you want, Shaoxia Lin. Are you interested in taking a look, Shaoxia Lin?"

"Exactly, I'm just worried about how to get the admission qualification. I wonder if shopkeeper Hong can help?" Lin Yi said immediately.

Hong Zhong couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master Lin, don't worry. Although qualifications for the Beidao Auction are rare, unless you are a powerful person, ordinary people cannot get in. Fortunately, our Hong Chamber of Commerce is also one of the initiators of the auction. Naturally, If you are qualified to bring extra people to the venue, if it is convenient for Young Master Lin, how about you come with me then?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed. Before coming here, he thought it would take a lot of effort to get this qualification, but he didn't expect that Hong Zhong could easily solve it for him with just a few words. Things like connections are really priceless at critical times. .

"Then I'd like to thank Shopkeeper Hong." Lin Yi said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Shaoxia Lin. Anyway, if this quota is empty, it will be wasted. It would be best if I could help Shaoxia Lin. The auction is scheduled for the 23rd of next month. Because the venue is far away from here, Shaoxia Lin can come here early. In addition, if Shaoxia Lin is in short supply of spiritual jade, you can also tell me, as the branch manager, I can still help with this small favor." Hong Zhong laughed.
