The bigger the store, the better the items. Lin Yi had no reason to miss such a rare store, so he followed the flow of people and walked in.
After entering the shop, Lin Yi quickly noticed the difference between this Hong Merchant Association and the other shops in the inner street. The decorations were more majestic, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the people who came here were wearing the symbol of the elite disciples of the three pavilions. The number of people who came here was far more than the other shops. In other words, even if today was not the opening day of the inner street, the Hong Merchant Association's business would be much more popular than the other stores. It was obvious that it had something special.
"North Sea Dragon Fish Bile, price 588 spirit jades."
"Mysterious Water Drop, price 649 spirit jades."
"Earth Snake Skin, price 320 spirit jades."
… …
After scanning through a row of display cabinets, Lin Yi's horizons were already widened.
These were all things that Lin Yi had never heard of in the secular world!
Although there was no specific introduction to these items, just from the appearance, it was obvious that they were not ordinary items!
Moreover, Lin Yi found that in this Hong Merchant Association, there was not a single item priced below 100 spirit jades. Not to mention the outer street and the middle street, even the other stores in the inner street paled in comparison. They were almost not on the same level. No wonder it could attract so many elite disciples of the Three Pavilions.
The Hong Merchant Association's store was divided into three floors, arranged in a pyramid shape. The higher the floor, the smaller the space, and the number of items on display decreased. Of course, the price of each item on display increased by a lot. Some items were already priced at thousands of spirit jades. It was common sense that the items on the second floor were always better than those on the first floor.
He went up to the second floor and took a quick look around. He did not intend to stay for too long. After all, due to his lack of money, it would be a waste of time to look at more items.
As for the third floor, Lin Yi originally wanted to go up and broaden his horizons. However, he was stopped by the people from the Hong Merchant Association. The third floor was the Hong Merchant Association's VIP area. Only VIPs who had spent more than 1,000 spirit jades were qualified to enter.
The inner street was already a VIP place in the market, and the Hong Merchant Association was one of the best stores in the inner street. Wouldn't the restricted third floor be a fighter jet among VIPs?
Lin Yi secretly speculated that people who could enter here. He was already a big shot who could be ranked in the entire North Island of Heaven Stage Island!
Although he was very curious about the items on the third floor, since they had set such a rule, Lin Yi could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and turn to go downstairs.
However, at this moment, his heart suddenly palpitated, as if he had missed something important. Lin Yi wasn't sure what was going on when the ghost's voice sounded in his head. "Don't leave yet, go take a look at the corner of the right shelf."
Although it had been living in the jade space for some time, it had rarely taken the initiative to speak, unless it was something very important. Could it be that he had discovered some great treasure?
With doubts in his heart, Lin Yi followed the ghost thing's instructions and quietly walked to the corner of the display.
Because there were no eye-catching items, there were obviously fewer people here than in other places. At this moment, there was only one person standing next to Lin Yi. Judging by his attire, he should be an inner sect disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
"Senior Ghost, you mean here?" Lin Yi communicated with the ghost thing through his consciousness.
"Yes, this star inkstone is good stuff. Think of a way to get it," the ghost thing said.
"Star inkstone?" Lin Yi looked around. There were only two or three items on display. Soon, he found what the ghost thing was talking about … star inkstone. However, there was no label on the star inkstone, only a price!
It was placed in the corner of the display. It was shaped like a black stone the size of a fist. From the outside, it looked completely unremarkable, but its price was quite shocking — 1,000 spirit jades.
Compared to the other expensive items, this star inkstone with a price of 1,000 spirit jades was not only unremarkable, it also didn't seem to have any use for it. In the eyes of others, it was simply a scam. As a result, no one stopped by.
But Lin Yi knew that this star inkstone was not simple, because in the instant that he saw it, he once again felt the same throbbing in his heart. It was as if he had a telepathic connection, and this seemingly ordinary stone was constantly attracting him.
Could it be that this was some sort of treasure that had been overlooked by others? Lin Yi didn't quite understand. He asked the ghost thing, "Senior Ghost, what use does this star inkstone have?"
"There's no point in telling you right now. Think of a way to get it first." After saying this, the ghost thing no longer paid any attention to Lin Yi. Only Lin Yi was left staring at the pitch-black stone in front of him, completely baffled.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. Why didn't it say what use it had? It just randomly asked me to get my hands on this stone. A thousand spirit jades! How could it be so easy to get?!
Thankfully, he had a cheating artifact like the space in the jade pendant. If it were anyone else, they would have been so scared that their legs would have turned to jelly upon hearing this price!
But grumbling was just grumbling. Lin Yi also knew that if he missed out on this star inkstone, he would definitely regret it in the future! Even if he didn't mention the ghost thing, just based on that strange telepathic connection just now, he couldn't let it go so easily!
Lin Yi silently observed the star inkstone. At the same time, he discovered that for some reason, the inner court disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion also seemed to be very interested in this star inkstone. His burning gaze seemed to want to buy it on the spot, but his expression was conflicted. It seemed that he didn't have that many spirit jades on hand.
A thousand spirit jades. Even for an inner court disciple of the Three Great Pavilions, it was already a huge sum of money. It was impossible for an ordinary disciple to have so many spirit jades. Only a young master with a deep background like Xu Lingchong, or a high-ranking steward who held great power within the Three Great Pavilions, could possibly take out such a sum.
Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the star inkstone's price was high enough. Otherwise, this person would have bought it first. Then he really wouldn't know what to do.
But even if this person couldn't gather so many spirit jades in a short time, he didn't look like an ordinary disciple. At the very least, he gave off a feeling that he was much stronger than someone like Meng Jueguang. Who knew when he would be able to gather a thousand spirit jades. If he wanted to obtain the star inkstone, he had to be ahead of the other party. Thus, at this moment, Lin Yi still felt a sense of urgency.
