The pure spiritual energy inside circulated, as if it contained an extremely exquisite miniature formation. This was obviously a very rare and high quality item.
And in the middle of the spirit jade card, there was a number: 400!
Lin Yi immediately turned his head to look at Hong Zhong in surprise. Did this mean that the extra bag of 400 pieces of spirit jade was directly returned to him in the form of a spirit jade card?
Hong Zhong smiled at the right time and said, "This is a small token of my humble shop, please accept it. If you have a large amount of spirit jade, you can find a large merchant like our Hong Merchant Guild at any time and ask them to top up the spirit jade into the spirit jade card."
After a pause, seeing that Lin Yi seemed to have some doubts, Hong Zhong continued to explain, "Young Hero Lin, please do not worry. The spirit jade card has a special miniature formation to protect it. As long as you input your qi to activate it, the miniature formation inside will recognize your unique qi characteristics. No one else can imitate it, change it, or destroy it. And if you need to make a transaction, you only need to input your qi to combine it with another spirit jade card to make a payment. It is convenient and safe. Because every time you use the spirit jade card at a large merchant guild, you will leave relevant information at the Merchant Union, so even if you accidentally lose it, it is fine. You can find the Merchant Union to make a replacement. "
So, wasn't this a Union Link card that had been personally authenticated by qi?
If it was really as Hong Zhong said, then the security of this spirit jade card was indeed quite high. There was the possibility of someone chopping off their finger to impersonate their fingerprint. But for this spirit jade card, unless Lin Yi actively input his qi for it to identify, even if others killed him, they would not be able to take away even a piece of spirit jade.
"Then thank you very much, Shopkeeper Hong." Lin Yi nodded his head in gratitude.
Although he had the space in the jade pendant and did not need to worry about things like storing spirit jade, if he wanted to go to a place like the Hong Merchant Guild to buy treasures, it would still be a little troublesome.
In order to prevent the secret of the space in the jade pendant from being exposed, he had to first take out the spirit jade in a place with no one around, then carry it to the Merchant Guild to buy things.
Like today, a few hundred spirit jade was not a big deal. He could carry it, but what if he needed thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit jade in the future? He couldn't possibly carry it back and forth, right?
Thus, this Spirit Jade Card was very useful at this time. Moreover, since the Merchant Union, whose influence spread throughout the five great islands, came forward to vouch for them, their credibility was not an issue. Naturally, there was no reason not to accept it.
"Young Hero Lin is too polite. For an important guest like you, preparing a Spirit Jade Card for you is a matter of mutual benefit. It will also make it convenient for you to take care of our business in the future, so there is no need to thank me. Oh right, if you use the Spirit Jade Card in the various chambers of commerce under the Merchant Union. You can get a 10% discount, "Hong Zhong said politely with a smile.
Ten percent discount? Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. In the future, if he were to use this card to purchase some treasures, he would be able to save quite a bit of Spiritual Jade. It seemed that the Commerce Union had put in quite a bit of capital in order to attract big customers.
In fact, on this point, Lin Yi was wrong. Although the Spirit Jade Card was an important measure pushed out by the Merchant Union to protect their big customers. But while it was used for transactions, it was essentially a symbol of status. It was not that easy to obtain.
Not to mention the fact that it was difficult for ordinary people to obtain one, even some second generation cultivators with a good background, if their status or wealth did not reach a certain threshold, would not be able to obtain such a Spirit Jade Card. To put it bluntly, in the entire world of cultivators, those who could produce a Spirit Jade Card. That person was definitely rich and powerful.
And for Lin Yi to be able to obtain this Spirit Jade Card today, it was all thanks to the two top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain the true approval of the Hong Merchant Union even if he had paid thousands of Spiritual Jade for a single Star Inkstone. Moreover, he would not have been able to obtain a Spirit Jade Card from Hong Zhong for no reason. There were even 400 Spiritual Jade Cards in it!
Hong Zhong's actions clearly meant that he was planning on taking the long haul. Fishing for a big fish.
Based on his years of experience with countless people, this young man who called himself Lin Er, although he looked ordinary at first glance, in reality. He was a person who hid his strength deeply.
Not to mention the fact that this guy, who was only at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, could remain calm and composed in the face of the threat of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert, just the fact that he could casually produce two top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills was enough to prove that this person was not to be trifled with.
Regardless of where he had obtained these two Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills, treasures of heaven and earth had always belonged to the strong. For this Lin Er to be able to casually produce two top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills either meant that he was hiding a powerful strength, or that he had a powerful background. There was no third possibility.
As for the so-called dog-shit luck, Hong Zhong had been the shopkeeper of the Hong Merchant Union for so many years and had seen all kinds of people and things. He had long since recognized this point. In this world of cultivators where cunning people were everywhere and crafty plots and schemes were everywhere, anything that seemed to be a coincidence actually hid a hidden certainty. There was no such thing as dog-shit luck. Treasures like the top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills would only fall into the hands of the strong. There were no exceptions.
And those who believed that dog-shit luck existed in the world of cultivation, in the end, had not lived long enough to understand. They believed that other people were just idiots who had dog-shit luck, but in reality, they themselves were the idiots who had been deceived by appearances.
Powerful strength and powerful background, these two were definitely one. Thus, in Hong Zhong's eyes, Lin Yi naturally had value in befriending and developing. Gifting Lin Yi a spirit jade card and four hundred spirit jades was just a test. If Lin Yi's performance in the future became even more awesome, even greater benefits were yet to come.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Hong, for your kindness. Then, I will take my leave first." Lin Yi put away the spirit jade card and the star inkstone, stood up and said his goodbyes.
"Young hero Lin, take care." Hong Zhong stood up to send him off. Before he left, he added, "Young hero Lin, in the future, if you have something as good as a top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pill that you want to sell, there is no harm in taking care of our Hong Merchant Union's business. When the time comes, if the accumulated value is considerable, this old man can help you upgrade your spirit jade card to a VIP spirit jade card, allowing you to enjoy a twenty percent discount and even more benefits."
As a businessman, Hong Zhong was actually more curious than anyone else. Why was Lin Yi able to produce two top-grade Foundation Barrier Breaking Pills? But even if he thought with his toes, he would know that this involved personal privacy. If he asked on the spot, then he wouldn't be Hong Zhong.
