Beauty and the Bodyguard

Thirteen pills are not too many. Although the best foundation-building and barrier-breaking pills are rare, there is nothing surprising. But when these two conditions are added together, it can be seen that it is very rare.

Hong Zhong has been sitting in the position of Beidao shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades, and he has never seen such a handwriting.

"Haha, I am also preparing for the auction. If I don't have enough spiritual jade on hand, even going to the auction today will be in vain." Lin Yi smiled lightly.

"Yes, although there are many good things in auctions, the prices are also high. If you don't prepare enough capital, it would be a pity if you miss the treasure in the end." Hong Zhong nodded in agreement, then pondered for a moment, and said : "Young Master Lin, I accept these thirteen top-grade foundation-building barrier-breaking pills for fifteen thousand spiritual jade. What do you think?"

Fifteen thousand spiritual jade! Lin Yi couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard this, and said with air conditioning: "Shopkeeper Hong, the price you paid is too high. I have to be taken care of by you every time. I can't afford this favor."

The last time he came to Hong's Chamber of Commerce to sell the top-grade Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill was to compete with Yu Zhe for the Star Ink Stone. At that time, the price of a single top-grade Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill was only eight hundred dollars. Just spiritual jade.

One piece of eight hundred spirit jade. At this price, the thirteen top-grade foundation-building barrier-breaking pills only cost over ten thousand spirit jade. There is a difference of nearly five thousand spirit jade from the price given by Hong Zhong!

Giving an extra five thousand pieces of spiritual jade at once was already a considerable discount even for a figure of Hong Zhong's level. He was not unkind to Lin Yi.

Hong Zhong suddenly laughed, waved his hand and said: "Young Master Lin, you are actually thinking too much. The purchase price of the best Foundation-Building Barrier-Breaking Pill is normally one thousand spirit jade, or even higher. Last time So I only give you a discount of 800, just because you are a newcomer trading with us for the first time, and the killing routine used by merchants will inevitably lower your price."

"But even if there is one thousand spirit jade, it only requires thirteen thousand spirit jade?" Lin Yi shook his head.

"Yes, but in any transaction, in addition to the usual price as a reference, the final transaction price still depends on the market. And now, when the market is good, I will give you fifteen thousand, which is really not much at all." Hong Zhong laughed. .

The other party insisted on saying this, and Lin Yi could no longer refuse. He could only shake his head in a funny way and said: "Shopkeeper Hong, this is the first time I've met you like this. You keep giving discounts to customers, and at the same time, you have to find ways to find good excuses for the businessman. Oh my God. If all the businessmen below were like you, I'm afraid they would all go bankrupt."

Hong Zhong laughed loudly when he heard this, and while he personally transferred Lin Yi's Ling Jade Card to settle the bill, he explained: "Young Master Lin, none of what I just said is false. In the auction that I am going to go to today, the auction items are usually sold by various chambers of commerce. They are jointly provided, and the Beidao branch under my command is in short supply of high-quality auction items these days, so these thirteen top-quality foundation-building and barrier-breaking pills, Shaoxia Lin, can be regarded as a timely help, and this price is absolutely fair and reasonable."

"Since I can help Shopkeeper Hong, that would be great." Lin Yi nodded, and then asked: "By the way, where is the auction?"

Hong Zhong had said last time that the auction was not in Fangshi Inner Street, and he specifically told Lin Yi to come over early, indicating that the place should not be close to here, so Lin Yi was quite curious about it.

"The Far North Island, the northernmost island that can be explored to the north of Tianjie Island, is only a palm-sized place on the map, but it is the most high-end place in the northern region. The entire five major islands of Tianjie are ranked The top-ranked Jinjin Cave." Hong Zhong introduced Lin Yi.

Although he guessed that Lin Yi must have a very profound but unknown background, he already knew that Lin Yi's identity on the surface was just a newcomer to Qingyun Pavilion. For a place like the Far North Island, the most normal situation should be Never even heard of it.

This is also true. Although the Far North Island is famous as a gold-selling cave, it is the exclusive territory of big shots. Ordinary practitioners are not qualified to enter and exit. There are very few people who even know about its existence, like hard-working people. Senior brother, who has been in the three major pavilions for some years, knows nothing about this.

"The Far North Island sounds pretty good. How can we get there?" Lin Yi asked with raised eyebrows.

Hong Zhong understood what Lin Yi meant, shook his head and said: "There is no teleportation array, so the only way to get there is to fly a spiritual beast. Flying there at the fastest will take two hours, so we have to hurry up."

While the two were talking, Hong Zhong had already made preparations. A huge flying spirit beast was waiting on the street. This time, in addition to Hong Zhong and Lin Yi, he was going to the auction on the Far North Island. Two staff members are responsible for helping Hong Zhong.

While roaring, the huge flying spirit beast rose into the sky and headed towards the north at great speed.

Standing on the back of the flying spirit beast, Lin Yi could see that in addition to him and Hong Zhong, there were also dozens of flying spirit beasts on Beidao, taking off from different places in all directions at the same time, pointing in the same direction as them, pointing to the extreme north. island.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Hong Zhong looked a little surprised, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Since it is an auction, the Hong Chamber of Commerce will send people there, and the Three Great Pavilions of Beidao and other chambers of commerce will naturally send people there as well. This should not be surprising, right?

"It's nothing, I just feel that these people are a little too aggressive. In previous years, Beidao Auction would not have so many people at once..." Hong Zhong said, pinching his chin thoughtfully.

Lin Yi looked around when he heard the sound and found that there were often more than a dozen people on top of the other flying spirit beasts, but there were only four people on his side. In comparison, they seemed much thinner.

According to past practice, Beidao Auction takes place once every six months. This frequency is neither too high nor too low. All forces in Beidao will send people to participate, but few people will mobilize such a large number of people.

Basically, Hong Zhong and his two deputies can handle it. If there are more people there, they will have nothing to do. After all, this is not a fight, it is just a normal auction transaction, but there is no such thing as strength in numbers.

However, it is enough that only one family mobilizes troops like this. Looking at it at this moment, almost every other flying spirit beast has a dozen people standing densely on it, some even more. This is too abnormal.

Hong Zhong winked at the deputy who was controlling the flying spirit beast, found the flying spirit beast closest to him, and slowly approached it (yesterday, a reader mentioned in the public prestige yuren22 that Xu Lingchong changed his mind. This had just arrived in the sky before. When I was on Jie Dao, I said that there is a kind of mental method under the way of heaven, and you can change a kind of mental method to practice above the way of heaven. Xu Lingchong has not changed it before, so it can be changed once. This will be mentioned in a later chapter.)
