In fact, he hadn't even thought about how to earn the rest of the spiritual jades. With the news of him being cheated by many newcomers using useless jade to exchange for good jade, the first to come to him was not the other restless newcomers from the other pavilions, but Senior Brother Bitter Guy.
Although Lin Yi was a little surprised by Senior Brother Bitter Guy's visit, he was still quite happy. The reason was very simple. Senior Brother Bitter Guy had delivered the three to four hundred pieces of useless jade that he had mentioned before. It was a full sack.
Looking at the sack full of useless jade, Lin Yi was naturally overjoyed. With a rough estimate, there were at least three hundred and fifty pieces of useless jade. In addition to the eighty pieces he already had, it meant that he had a total of more than four hundred and thirty pieces of spiritual jades. Faced with such an outcome, it would be strange if Lin Yi wasn't overjoyed!
Seeing Lin Yi's joy, Senior Brother Bitter Guy was naturally happy for him too. However, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Junior Brother Lin, there is a rumor that even the other two pavilions' newcomers have heard. It says that you were exchanged for fifteen pieces of good jade with useless jade. What is going on?"
Senior Brother Bitter Guy already knew that Lin Yi had been exchanged for good jade by Meng Jueguang. He thought that it was just because Lin Yi was careless and was tricked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in just a few days. Moreover, the rumor sounded so real!
This made him a little puzzled. Even if Lin Yi was really as "stupid" as the rumor said, the problem was, where did he get these fifteen pieces of good jade?
Others thought that these good jades were the fifteen pieces that Meng Jueguang lost in the bet, but Senior Brother Bitter knew. However, Senior Brother Bitter Guy knew that these good jade were all in the hands of Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai. Lin Yi didn't want any of them!
And if the piece of spiritual jade that Meng Jueguang cheated was counted. As a newcomer, Lin Yi shouldn't have a single good jade in his hands right now! But the rumor sounded plausible and didn't seem to be fake. If it was purely a rumor, this kind of thing might happen among the common people, but these were all Heaven Rank experts, it was impossible for them to not have the basic ability to distinguish between the truth and the truth!
"This … is actually a little secret of mine. Senior Martial Brother Ku, after you hear it, you'll understand. You have to keep it a secret for me. " Lin Yi knew that Senior Brother Ku Bi would ask such a question, so he had already thought of an excuse. Of course, he would not mention the space of the jade pendant.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't worry. I will definitely keep it a secret. But if it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me." Senior Brother Ku Bi said considerately. He was only concerned about Lin Yi's situation, but he didn't necessarily want to know Lin Yi's secrets.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head. "Actually, it's nothing. Senior Brother Ku, you already know that I'm an alchemist. I recently found out that if I use these waste jades as supplementary materials, it can increase the success rate of alchemy. It can increase the success rate of alchemy, so I secretly refined some alchemy pills and sold them in the market square. That's how I got the good jades that they exchanged for. "
"I see." Senior Brother Ku Bi finally understood, but then he asked, "But Junior Brother Lin, since you used pills to exchange for these good jade, why didn't you keep them for yourself? Could it be that it's more profitable to use them as supplementary materials for alchemy? "
"That's true, so I was happy to pretend to be the idiot that they said I was. I secretly made a fortune. "Lin Yi laughed.
This time, even the bitter Senior Brother was amused. "I was wondering, with Junior Brother Lin's intelligence, how could you suffer such a huge loss? So that's how it is. To think that I was so worried before!"
Senior Apprentice Brother Ku Bi's words were not false. Before he came here, he was really worried about Lin Yi. Lin Yi felt somewhat touched. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He turned around to avoid the other party's line of sight. He took out thirty pieces of Spirit Jades, put them in a bag, and handed it to Senior Apprentice Brother Ku Bi.
Senior Brother Ku Bi was stunned and waved his hand repeatedly. "Junior Brother Lin, what do you mean? Don't tell me you think that I'm the same as the others, and that I'm here to exchange waste jade for good jade? "
Seeing that Senior Brother Ku Bi was really a little angry, Lin Yi hurriedly explained, "Senior Brother Ku Bi, you're thinking too much. If we really followed the three to one exchange rate of others, my thirty pieces of good jade wouldn't be enough to exchange for so many useless jades. I'm just making you worry about me, Senior Brother Ku Bi. I feel bad, so I'm just trying to express my gratitude."
"This … But Junior Brother Lin needs these good jades more than I do!" Although Senior Brother Ku Bi was a little moved, he still insisted on not accepting it. Speaking of which, he had been a Senior Brother in charge for a few years, but he had never seen so many good jades at once. Thirty pieces of good jades were enough to sustain his cultivation for a long time.
"Hehe, about the matter of the Spirit Jades, Senior Brother Ku Bi, you don't have to worry about me. Don't forget that I can still earn them back by refining medicinal pills. Especially since you've provided me with so many useless jades, it's enough for me to refine a lot of medicinal pills! So, you should just accept these Spirit Jades. Between us brothers, is there really a need to be so serious? That would disappoint Junior Brother too much! " Lin Yi smiled and persuaded, "Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai have already accepted them. Senior Brother Ku Bi, if you don't accept them, are you not treating me as one of your own?"
Since Lin Yi had put it this way, the bitter Senior Martial Brother could no longer refuse. He could only say with an ashamed expression, "Then … Alright, I will shamelessly take advantage of Junior Martial Brother Lin this time. I will remember this favor in my heart."
If it was before, he might have insisted on not accepting it. But now that he had been entrusted by Lu Bianren, in order to be able to fight against Meng Jueguang in the future, he urgently needed to increase his strength. Naturally, the more spiritual jades, the better.
"Senior Brother Ku, you're being too serious. Isn't helping you the same as helping myself?" Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively.
In reality, if it wasn't for the fact that he needed to save up spiritual jades to buy star inkstones, he could have given more. But now that he had given thirty pieces, he was left with less than five hundred pieces. If he gave more, it might not be enough when the time came.
The bitter Senior Martial Brother nodded gratefully and carefully put away the thirty pieces of spiritual jades. After thinking for a moment, he reminded Lin Yi, "Junior Martial Brother Lin, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. I'm sure you've heard this saying before. Although others know that you can refine medicinal pills, and it doesn't matter if it gets out, if your success rate in refining medicinal pills is very high, it will eventually attract trouble. So in the future, it's better to be more careful."
"Senior Martial Brother Ku, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Lin Yi replied.
