However, these were all his previous thoughts. As for now, since he had such a fatal weakness of Lin Yi, things were completely different.
As long as this weakness could be confirmed, then the current situation would no longer be him bowing his head to Lin Yi. Instead, it would be the other way around, and he would make Lin Yi bow his head to him!
Meng Jueguang sneered. If he could make good use of this weakness, no matter how strong and powerful Lin Yi was, he wouldn't be able to escape from his palm!
What made him even happier was that Lin Yi could turn a useless jade into a good one, wasn't he? He was like a hen that laid golden eggs! As long as he could control Lin Yi, he'd be able to soar in the future, wouldn't that be a problem?
According to Meng Jueguang's speculation, this secret should be in the No.10 Spiritual Jade Mining Area! Because in the secular world, Lin Yi didn't know what Spiritual Jade was at all! After Lin Yi entered the No.10 Mining Area, he continuously mined good jade from it. Now it seemed that there was an existence similar to the Spiritual Eye in the No.10 Mining Area. As long as waste jade was placed in it, it could be filled up quickly!
This also explained why Lin Yi could dig up good jade, while he and Meng Tong couldn't! The jade wasn't dug up, but rushed out!
At this moment, Lin Yi, who was on the other side, was really scared out of his wits. Even with his temperament, he was still scared.
Although his response just now didn't reveal any flaws on the surface, his intuition told him that Meng Jueguang was as cunning as a fox. He shouldn't be fooled so easily.
Be prepared for the worst. The only thing that Lin Yi needed to consider now was what he should do if Meng Jueguang really found out about his identity.
If it really came to that, Lin Yi's situation could be said to be very unfavorable. Meng Jueguang could easily use this weakness to deal with him, but he couldn't do much to the other party.
The other party was the Eldest Senior Brother in charge. After that, it might be the Third Pavilion Master. No matter how strong Lin Yi was, he wouldn't have the chance to face him head-on unless he took the risk and found a chance to assassinate him. This method might not be completely impossible, but it would be extremely risky.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time." Lin Yi shook his head. He couldn't be sure whether Meng Jueguang had found out or not, so he could only stay put for the time being.
On this trip to the market today, he didn't run into Yu Zhe and the others who were scheming to find him. Instead, it was accidentally discovered by Meng Jueguang. This kind of thing could not be described as a scam, it was simply a scam of eighteen generations of ancestors!
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Lin Yi suppressed his worries and made a trip to the Hong Chamber of Commerce as planned.
With regards to Lin Yi's sudden visit, even a calm old shopkeeper like Hong Zhong couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
Unlike Lin Yi, with Hong Zhong's position and level, as well as his close relationship with many of the upper echelons of the Three Great Pavilions. Even the slightest movement from the Three Great Pavilions could not escape his eyes and ears.
Perhaps in Lin Yi's knowledge, the ones who were investigating his identity were only the Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe. But Hong Zhong knew that Nan Tianba, the eldest of the Three Heroes of the Nan Family, had already returned from a mission.
This person, even in the circle of core disciples of the Three Great Pavilions, was famous for being not to be trifled with. Furthermore, with the backing of the Nantian Family of the Middle Island, many of the upper echelons of the Three Great Pavilions were rather tolerant of him.
Not to mention Nan Tianba's protectiveness. It had always been common knowledge that when he found out about Nan Tianyong's death, he would definitely fly into a rage. Although for some unknown reason, he hadn't made any big movements for the time being, one thing was certain, this person would definitely not relax in tracking down the murderer of his brother.
When facing the threat of such a formidable enemy, nothing had actually happened to Lin Er until now. Not only was he safe and sound, he even dared to openly walk around the market. Even Hong Zhong couldn't help but be flabbergasted by such courage and ability.
What shocked Hong Zhong even more was that in just a short span of two to three months, Lin Yi's strength had actually skyrocketed again. Lin Yi's middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm could fool others, but he couldn't fool Hong Zhong.
With Hong Zhong's unfathomable strength and eyesight, unless it was an expert of the same level, no one could hide their realm in front of him. Even Lin Yi was no exception.
This Lin Yi looked very young, and the last time they met, Hong Zhong could clearly feel that he had not advanced for long. However, he didn't expect that from the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, a threshold that a normal person might not be able to cross in a hundred years, could be reached in just a short span of two to three months. Even Hong Zhong, who had seen countless people, had never seen or heard of this kind of thing.
"Young hero Lin, long time no see, I trust you have been well!" Hong Zhong secretly suppressed the surprise in his heart and took the initiative to greet him.
"Shopkeeper Hong, I trust you have been well since we last met." Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, then immediately went straight to the point, "One does not come to a temple without a cause. Today, I have come to ask for a favor, and I hope Shopkeeper Hong can help me."
"Well said, well said. If there is anything Young hero Lin needs, please say it. This old man will definitely do his best." Hong Zhong immediately said straightforwardly.
Having seen countless people, Hong Zhong had developed a good eyesight. Now, in Hong Zhong's heart, Lin Yi was a stock with unquestionable potential. In the future, it was very likely that he would become a person with great achievements. Being calculative was too short-sighted. At this time, to be able to do Lin Yi a favor, in his eyes, was a good thing that he could not ask for more.
Lin Yi was overjoyed. He immediately repeated what he had said to Chen Heihu to Hong Zhong.
After listening, Hong Zhong immediately called the shopkeeper over and gave him some instructions. To him, it was a small matter to purchase rare elixirs such as the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass. To him, it was just a small matter. Once he gave the order, someone would naturally do it for him.
With such a simple matter, he could sell a rare favor to Lin Yi. Even if it was measured purely by the eyes of a businessman, it was still a great profit!
"Then, thank you very much, Shopkeeper Hong." Lin Yi said gratefully. In this way, he finally had some confidence as to whether or not he could obtain the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass.
With a Chamber of Commerce giant like the Hong Chamber of Commerce and a resourceful unorthodox person like Chen Heihu working together, if they still could not purchase the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass, then it could only be said that this was the will of Heaven. Lin Yi had no fate with the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass.
"Young hero Lin is too polite." Hong Zhong smiled. Before Lin Yi left, he specially reminded him, "The eldest of the Three Heroes of the Nan Family, Nan Tianba, has returned. This person is not to be underestimated. Recently, he seemed to have encountered some trouble, so there has been no news of him. However, don't underestimate him."
