Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Young Master Lin, you have to be careful yourself. Dragons and snakes are mixed there, and there are not as many restrictions as there are in the three major pavilions. It is not uncommon for people to kill each other if they disagree. Even if you are strong now, you must be careful. ." Hong Zhong reminded specifically.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hong, I understand." Lin Yi nodded. In order to get the raw mushroom as soon as possible, he had to go this time. If you delay for too long, God knows if the casting will fail this time!

And during this period of time, Lin Yi also clearly felt that his life in Yingxin Pavilion was a bit too comfortable. After Xu Lingchong disappeared, the remaining people such as Kang Zhaoming and Meng Tong were no longer his opponents and did not pose any challenges. Sex, such an environment is actually not a good thing for cultivation.

Even if it is to improve his strength, Lin Yi must go out to practice and seek further opportunities.

This time, not only was he looking for the Living Mushroom, Lin Yi also had another more important purpose, which was to seek an opportunity to break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, so as to prepare for the next attack on the Golden Pill as soon as possible!

"Actually, the only thing I'm a little worried about now is how I should explain it to Yingxin Pavilion." Lin Yi frowned and said.

This time out will definitely not be short. If there is no suitable excuse, there might be trouble in the Yingxin Pavilion. After all, he is now the receptionist of the West Island in name, so he can leave Ning Xuefei alone and run away. To do the task, if it is serious, it is dereliction of duty.

"It's okay, junior brother, just go ahead. Feifei and I can help you with it, so just say you go buy things for us, hehe." Shangguan Laner said with a smile.

shopping? What kind of weird reason is this? Lin Yi smiled bitterly and nodded. Since Shangguan Lan'er has already said so, others will not be able to refute even if they want to take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

"Mr. Hong, do you know where the raw mushrooms can be found?" Lin Yi asked instead.

"Hucai Tianwu Mountain, this is the place with the highest chance of discovering living mushrooms in the past. Raw mushrooms usually grow in cold and humid backlit places, so when you get there, Shaoxia Lin, you can go to some of the water streams to find them. Try your luck and you should be rewarded." Hong Zhong suggested to Lin Yi based on the information he knew.

"Hucai Tianwu Mountain, I remember it, but where is this mountain?" Lin Yi asked.

"Haha, this mountain can be regarded as a famous mountain. Its reputation is not inferior to the mountains behind the Three Pavilions. Its location is between the North Island and the Middle Island!" Hong Zhong said with a smile.

"Huh? Between the North Island and the Middle Island? Are the two islands connected together?" Lin Yi was suddenly shocked.

"That's right, Young Master Lin, you don't think that the North Island and the Middle Island are separated by the sea, do you?" Hong Zhong asked strangely.

"Yeah..." Lin Yi scratched his head in embarrassment. Since arriving at Tianjie Island, he has been hearing about the five major Tianjie islands, and it is also difficult to go back and forth between the North Island and the Middle Island. In his mind Naturally, I preconceived the idea that the five major islands of Tianjie were isolated from each other.

Hong Zhong couldn't help but smile and said: "Actually, your understanding, Young Master Lin, is correct. Although there are long and narrow mountains connecting the North Island and the Zhongdao, just like the back mountains of the Three Pavilions, these mountains are surrounded by various Powerful spiritual beasts, and often affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes at sea, are even more dangerous than those deep in the back mountains. Therefore, even powerful practitioners rarely cross the two islands on foot. If we travel back and forth, we usually use flying spirit beasts or treasure ships."

"Treasure ship?" Lin Yi was slightly startled, it was another new thing that he had never heard of before.

"There are sea beasts raging in the sea, and with the threat of natural disasters, it is more dangerous than the land route. No matter how good the navigation technology is, it is impossible for ordinary ships to go back and forth between the two islands. Only treasure ships can do it." Hong Zhong paused. , explained: "The treasure ship is a legacy built by the ancient casters. Not only is the hull far stronger and more reliable than ordinary ships, but the key ship is also equipped with powerful formations that can withstand super-strength attacks and natural disasters. Moreover, for absolutely Most sea beasts have a confusing effect, so even if you pass over their heads, you won't be noticed."

"That's really an ingenuity." Lin Yi was amazed.

"It's a pity that the art of casting has been in decline for many years. Even ordinary casters are rare to see, let alone a master caster. The superb ancient skills of building treasure ships have long been lost, and the treasure ships are also destroyed one by one. Now, it has become a symbol to measure the strength of major chambers of commerce. The stronger the chamber of commerce, the more treasure ships it has under its command." Hong Zhong sighed.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder. Even if the number of treasure ships is rare, it is not directly linked to the strength of the chamber of commerce. Each chamber of commerce has its own strengths, just like the Five Elements under Nakajima Dantang. The Chamber of Commerce has always been engaged in the elixir business and has not been involved in other businesses, but it is still recognized as the number one chamber of commerce.

"Young Master Lin doesn't know that transporting goods between Tianjie Islands usually takes waterways, and waterways can only rely on treasure ships. Therefore, treasure ships determine the most critical transportation capacity of the Chamber of Commerce. This is the lifeline for the survival of the large Chamber of Commerce. !" Hong Zhong said sternly: "Although the remaining other ways are not impossible, the flying spirit beasts carry too little cargo each time, and the transportation capabilities are not at the same level as the treasure ships."

"That's it." Lin Yi suddenly realized.

“As for the mountains, of course it’s not impossible to walk, but there are too many uncertain factors, the risks are too high and difficult to control, and the mountain roads are rugged. Unless you walk often or have some special needs, the cost is too high, so generally no one is willing to try it. ." Hong Zhong said.

"Indeed, the first priority of the Great Chamber of Commerce is stability and reliability. The land route is so risky. If you place your hope on this, if any accident occurs and the supply of goods is cut off, it will damage your own brand." Lin Yishen nodded thinking it was true.

The last time the Hong Chamber of Commerce was jointly targeted by several other chambers of commerce, it was actually to make a fuss about the supply of goods. At the level of a top chamber of commerce, advancement and retreat depend on market reputation. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

"That's the truth. With your understanding and insight, Young Master Lin, it would be a real loss if you don't do business!" Hong Zhong laughed, and then said: "I mentioned this, but I actually want to tell you that I am over there on Zhongdao Also friends, if you accidentally go to Zhongdao, Shaoxia Lin, you can find Deputy Shopkeeper Cai of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce under Zhongdao Dantang."

"Eh? Aren't the Hong Chamber of Commerce and the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce in competition? Mr. Hong, do you have a relationship with this person?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder.
