(Happy Moon Festival ~!)
Lin Yi shook his head, "Not necessarily, I only showed off the aura of an early phase foundation- I didn't actually fight them. With Meng Jueguang and the others' suspicious personalities, they'll definitely be suspicious after this."
Bitter Shixiong and Xiao Ran looked at each other and nodded, "Alright."
After all, everyone had their own way of doing things, and since Lin Yi chose to keep a low profile, they would naturally try their best to cooperate.
Bitter Shixiong thought about it, "Based on past years, the newcomers usually stay in the pavilion for a full year, but if they succeed in their foundation establishment, they're allowed to enter the three pavilions early to become an inner disciple. What are your plans for the future, Lin Yi?"
"Are there any additional benefits to becoming an inner disciple early?" Lin Yi asked back.
"Other than being valued by the sect's higher-ups, the main benefit is that you can enjoy some of the benefits of being an inner disciple early. Other than that, there's nothing else," Bitter Shixiong explained.
"Then forget it- I'll stay in the pavilion for a while and improve my strength first," Lin Yi shook his head.
With his condition, he didn't need the so-called benefits of the sect very much, and if he chose to enter Blue Cloud Pavilion early, not only would he not get any obvious benefits, but he would also be valued by the sect's higher-ups. There would be countless troubles that would follow, and he might as well stay in the pavilion to accumulate his strength first.
After all, compared to other places, the pavilion was definitely a gentle cradle- there weren't that many problems, and it was perfect for training.
Lin Yi knew very well that if he wanted to go to Middle Island to find Zhang Liju, other than improving his strength, anything else would be a waste of time. No matter where he went, strength was the way to go.
"Yeah, that's good," Bitter Shixiong nodded.
Over the years in the Welcome Pavilion, he had seen many outstanding newcomers. After coming to the three pavilions, they immediately became ordinary, not because they were weaker, but because the environment they were in was stronger.
At the end of the day, the pavilion was just a school- the three pavilions were the real cruel society- the early phase of foundation establishment was already very good in the pavilion, but in the three pavilions, it was nothing. Lin Yi's decision to stay in the welcoming pavilion was a very wise one.
At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something and pushed the foundation establishment pill in front of Qiao Hongcai. Smiling, he said, "In any case, I already have no use for it. I'll give this Foundation Building Pill to you. You two also have to break through as soon as possible."
Qiao Hongcai paused. Lin Yi had talked about this during the test, but now that the pill was right in front of him, he couldn't help but blush with excitement.
This was the Foundation Building Pill that all newcomers yearned for. Even those second-generation cultivators with deep backgrounds in the Soaring Sky Pavilion were unable to obtain it. There were also those powerful old men from the Profound Pavilion. In order to fight for a single Foundation Establishment Pill, they had also used all sorts of methods and schemes in the trial. But even so, they were unable to obtain it. In the end, most people still couldn't get it even though they wanted it.
On the other hand, he was an ordinary grassroots newcomer with no background, and his strength wasn't that great, so he didn't get any decent results in the trial. Even the elixirs were all snatched away, but he was able to get such a gift. If this matter were to spread, it would make a lot of people jealous.
And all of this. It was all thanks to Lin Yi. Without Lin Yi, he, Qiao Hongcai, wouldn't even be able to get fourth place in the trial, let alone hope for the foundation establishment pill. Instead, he would end up with zero points, which would be a stain of incompetence on his body, and he would never be valued by the sect.
"Then, then I won't be polite, thank you, Boss Lin Yi," Qiao Hongcai stood up, walked to Lin Yi, and kowtowed three times.
Lin Yi was shocked, quickly helped him up, and frowned, "What are you doing! You and I are brothers, do we need this? "
The Bitter Senior Brother and Xiao Ran, watching this scene, were also dumbfounded.
In the cultivation world, although it was common to form cliques and recognize a boss, as the saying goes, a man's knees are gold, and any cultivator was an existence above thousands of living creatures. Except for the elders of the sect, they would not easily kneel to others. Even if it was a senior brother like Meng Jueguang, who wanted to make a newcomer like Meng Tong kneel to him, it was impossible. That was why Qiao Hong would do this, which was beyond their expectations.
"Hehe, Boss Lin Yi, don't be angry, I was just excited and couldn't help it." Qiao Hongcai just realized what he had done, and even he was a little surprised, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Yi smiled, but although he said so, he understood in his heart that if Qiao Hongcai didn't really think of himself as a boss, he wouldn't have done such an outrageous thing.
"Next time don't kneel so involuntarily, didn't I just give you a Foundation Establishment Pill, scared me!" Lin Yi laughed and scolded, "I thought you wanted to propose to me!"
The Bitter Senior Brother and Xiao Ran on the side laughed. Lin Yi's joke dissolved the embarrassment of the person involved, Qiao Hongcai, but he didn't regret kowtowing to Lin Yi at all.
Whether it was strength, character, or generosity to his own people, no matter from which aspect, Lin Yi was a rare good boss, compared to people like Meng Jueguang, he was much more reliable.
For a grassroots newcomer like him who didn't have any background, to be able to worship under Lin Yi was already a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes.
The four people drank a few more cups, and during the meal, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai frequently toasted to Lin Yi. Xiao Ran had an introverted personality, and his gratitude towards Lin Yi wasn't any less than Qiao Hongcai, but he wouldn't express it so obviously, and could only express it through toasting.
Lin Yi was also well aware of this, because both of them had a background in the secular world, and their temperaments were quite similar, his relationship with Xiao Ran was even closer than Qiao Hongcai's. After a few cups of wine, everything was understood without words.
When drinking with close friends, a thousand cups were not enough. At their level of strength, ordinary wine couldn't make them drunk. The four people were in a good mood today, and they drank until late at night, only then did they go their separate ways.
This drinking session had imperceptibly pulled the relationship between them closer, and there was a feeling of brotherhood between them, unlike before when they were purely huddling together for warmth. In the end, a relationship that was purely maintained by benefits would break sooner or later, but brothers could be together for a lifetime.
