Even though there were many guests, as soon as Lin Yi walked into the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he was recognized by the manservant at the door. "Young Hero Lin, please come upstairs."
"You know me?" Lin Yi was surprised.
If this person was Hong Zhong, it would be easier to understand. After all, he gave him a Spirit Jade Card, so it was normal to have some impression of him. However, it was a bit exaggerated that this manservant, whom he did not know, knew him.
"Of course, we have to memorize the names and appearances of the important guests every morning and evening to avoid neglecting any important guests. This is the rule of the Hong Chamber of Commerce." The manservant smiled and led Lin Yi to a private room on the second floor.
Lin Yi could not help but praise him in his heart. The Hong Chamber of Commerce was indeed a top chamber of commerce on Heaven-level Island.
Stepping into the private room, Manager Hong Zhong immediately stood up to welcome him. "Young Hero Lin, it's been a long time."
Lin Yi bowed slightly and returned the greeting. "Shopkeeper Hong, I hope you have been well since we last met. Sorry to bother you again."
"Hehe, Young Hero Lin, you are too kind. It is our Hong Merchant Group's honor to have you patronize us. We could not ask for more. What do you need this time?" Hong Zhong laughed. He was secretly surprised that Lin Er had not been crippled by Yu Zhe and the others. He was indeed capable!
"I need to prepare some elixirs. The higher the quality, the better. Five sets." Lin Yi took out a list and handed it to Hong Zhong. There were dozens of elixirs listed on it.
To be safe, in order to prevent the recipe of the Foundation Building Pill from being recognized by others, the elixirs needed for the Foundation Building Pill were only a small part of the list. As for the rest of the elixirs listed on the list, apart from being used as a cover, they were also used to fill up the elixirs' storage.
After all, as an alchemist, he did not need to have all the elixirs' storage, but at least when he wanted to refine some common basic elixirs, he would not have to personally run errands every time. He even had to think of a way to collect all the elixirs' ingredients one by one. That would be too unprofessional.
Hong Zhong took Lin Yi's list and glanced at it briefly before asking in surprise, "Forgive this old man for asking, but is Young Hero Lin an Alchemist?"
Other than Alchemists who would gather so many elixirs and materials at once, there was no other way. Even if other people wanted to find someone to refine pills for them, they would at most buy the corresponding spiritual herbs and materials. They would not spend spiritual jades on so many things that they might not even use in their lifetime.
"That's right, I am indeed an Alchemist. However, I only know a little about it. Please excuse me, Manager Hong." Lin Yi nodded lightly.
Since it was very likely that he would have to deal with Shopkeeper Hong for a long time in the future, Lin Yi did not intend to hide anything about this matter. After all, if he needed spiritual jades, selling some pills to Shopkeeper Hong was not a bad choice.
Furthermore … There was no need to deliberately conceal the identity of an Alchemist. If he chose to conceal it at this time, it would not be good if he leaked it or was discovered in the future.
Seeing that Lin Yi admitted it, Hong Zhong couldn't help but be shocked. However, on the surface, he smiled from ear to ear, "Since ancient times, heroes come from the young. This saying is indeed true. Young Hero Lin has a bright future."
Hong Zhong's words were a little exaggerated. Although Alchemists had a high status, they were generally weak. In the world of practitioners where the strong ruled, they didn't have a bright future. After all, Miracle Doctor Dan Saint Zhang Liju was a freak who could step into the top tier of alchemists. There wouldn't even be one in a few hundred years.
However, if the two Foundation Breaking Pills from last time were made by Lin Er himself, then it would be more than enough to be worthy of this title.
After being in Hong Merchant Association for so many years, Hong Zhong had his own way of dealing with people. Although, he really wanted to know if the two Foundation Breaking Pills from last time were made by Lin Er. However, before their relationship deepened and stabilized, he would not be stupid enough to ask such a question. This time, it was enough for him to know that Lin Er was an Alchemist.
"Young Hero Lin, please wait for a moment in the private room. I will get someone to prepare it," Hong Zhong passed the list to the servant who was waiting at the door. As it involved more than ten types of ingredients, although Hong Merchant Association had all of them, it would still take a lot of time.
Lin Yi nodded. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to take the time to walk around Hong Merchant Association. There were so many valuable ingredients. Even if he didn't plan to buy them, it wouldn't be a bad thing to take the opportunity to learn more about them.
However, what Lin Yi didn't expect at all was that when he was walking around Hong Merchant Association, he bumped into someone out of nowhere. It was Yu Zhe.
As the saying goes, enemies don't meet unless they're enemies. At the corner of the display cabinets on the second floor, the two of them met face to face without any mental preparation. In that instant, both of them froze.
In Lin Yi's expectation, because today wasn't the opening day of the inner street, a normal inner disciple like Yu Zhe shouldn't be able to enter the inner street, much less appear in this Hong Merchant Association.
Otherwise, if Yu Zhe had the ability to enter and exit the inner street freely, he wouldn't have to wait until the inner street was open to the public like he did with himself.
As a result, Lin Yi had been extra careful when he'd entered the market, especially when he'd passed through the outer and middle streets. He'd tried his best to avoid being noticed by anyone, in case there were Yu Zhe's eyes. But now that he'd entered the inner street, he'd let his guard down.
After all, in theory, Yu Zhe didn't have the right to enter the inner street. The possibility of him appearing in the inner street was almost zero.
However, Lin Yi forgot that Yu Zhe wasn't alone. He had a master, Nan Tianyong, the supervising deacon of Rising Sky Pavilion.
With Nan Tianyong's status, it was naturally easy for him to enter and exit the inner street. However, even so, he couldn't bring Yu Zhe with him. The problem was that he had the same Spirit Jade Card as Lin Yi.
Of course, this Spirit Jade Card did not come from the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but from another top chamber of commerce in the Merchant Union. In fact, with Nan Tianyong's own strength and status, there was still a long way to go before he could obtain this Spirit Jade Card. However, he had two more powerful brothers, and this Spirit Jade Card was borrowed from one of them!
In order to investigate Lin Er, Nan Tianyong specially borrowed this Spirit Jade Card!
