"Sh * t, Brother Lin, don't tell me you got some rare ancient treasure again. My heart can't stand such a big shock." King of Junk said in surprise, but he couldn't help poking his head over and picking up a bit of blood-red gravel to observe it carefully.
After a while, King of Junk shook his head helplessly, "I don't know this thing. It shouldn't be used for forging, otherwise I have no reason not to recognize it. But even so, I can see that it's definitely a good thing. Brother Lin, you can take it to the auction and let someone appraise it. Then you should know."
Lin Yi wasn't too surprised- it was normal that the Garbage King couldn't recognize something that even this damned thing couldn't recognize. He'd thought that it was some kind of crafting material, but it seemed like he was wrong.
After that, the two talked about weaponsmithing for a bit. The King of Garbage's extraordinary knowledge in this area was quite an eye-opener.
According to King of Junk himself, this was just the result of Sun Sikong's casual guidance for a few days. Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The cultivation world was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
"Brother Lin, I'll leave the seven materials to you. I can't help much in this aspect, but I can take this time to do some preparation work. After all, forging a magic weapon is a big event. There can't be any mistakes!" King of Junk solemnly said to Lin Yi.
"Then I'll leave Brother Wang to trouble you. I'll leave first. Brother Wang, wait for my news." Lin Yi immediately stood up and said goodbye.
It was not too late when he left the cave. Lin Yi immediately left for the market place. Naturally, his purpose was to go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to ask Hong Zhong about the auction.
However, Lin Yi didn't go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce directly. Instead, he went to find Chen Heihu. It had been some time since he came here last time. He wanted to see if there was any news about the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass.
The answer he got from Chen Heihu disappointed Lin Yi a little. Chen Heihu had spread the news of buying the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass to all his contacts, but there was still no news so far.
It could be seen that the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass was indeed rare. It was already very lucky that he could find it in the periphery of the back mountain and among the spiritual medicine seeds distributed by Lingyu Hall.
Fortunately, the east wasn't bright, and the west was bright. There was no news from Chen Heihu, after all. Lin Yi had asked Hong Zhong for help back then.
As soon as Lin Yi stepped into the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong, who was patrolling downstairs, came up and led him to a private room on the second floor. and said, "Hero Lin, you asked me to help you buy the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass last time. Now, I have got two. I'll ask someone to pack it for you."
Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard that. He said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Manager Hong. What's the price?"
"Haha, then a hundred spiritual jades for one. What do you think, Hero Lin?" Hong Zhong smiled and said while stroking his beard.
Lin Yi's heart moved. He knew that Hong Zhong was doing him a favor again. If it was an ordinary spiritual medicine, it could be bought with a few spiritual jades. A hundred spiritual jades was considered a heaven-grade spiritual jades. However, the rarer something was, the greater its value. With the rarity of the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass, a hundred spiritual jades for one was practically half selling and half giving away. He probably did not buy it at such a low price.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry to answer. He passed the white paper that King of Rags wrote to him to Hong Zhong and said, "Manager Hong, other than the matter of the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass, the other reason I came here is to buy the items on this list. I wonder if the Chamber of Commerce has them in stock?"
"Oh? Hero Lin, please wait for a moment. I'll get someone to check. "Hong Zhong gestured for Lin Yi to drink his tea and instructed the manservant at the door.
After a while, the manservant reported, "Out of the seven materials, our Chamber of Commerce has only the mysterious droplet in stock at the moment. The price is 649 spiritual jades. We don't have the other six."
Sure enough! Lin Yi had already expected this, so he didn't feel regretful. He immediately said, "Then, pack up this mysterious water drop and the two Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass for me. It's a total of one thousand spirit jades. Is that alright, Shopkeeper Hong?"
Hong Zhong immediately smiled and waved his hand, "Hero Lin, you must be joking. I know you mean well. However, business is business. Since I said one Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass is a hundred spiritual jades, I won't charge you half a piece more. Otherwise, where is the integrity of a businessman? If people find out, who would dare to do business with the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the future?"
Lin Yi knew he had said something wrong, so he could only say, "Alright then. I'll use the extra spiritual jades to buy spiritual medicine. Is that okay?"
Lin Yi never liked to owe people favors. Since Hong Zhong was not willing to charge more spiritual jades, he might as well go back and refine some medicinal pills. Next time, he would bring a few top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills for him. At that time, Hong Zhong would definitely be more than happy and would not refuse him like this.
Hong Zhong seemed to have seen through Lin Yi's plan. He smiled knowingly and said, "Then I'll thank Hero Lin for your care. If Hero Lin is not in a hurry, I can also get someone to keep an eye on the remaining six materials for you. Just like the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass, after a period of time, you might get something."
"Thank you, Manager Hong. However, I heard that there will be an auction on the north island next month?" Lin Yi asked tentatively.
Hong Zhong immediately understood and nodded, "Yes, the level of this auction is not low. Hero Lin, you should be able to find the things you want there. Are you interested in going to have a look?"
"Yes, I'm just worried about how to get the qualification to enter. I wonder if Manager Hong can help me?" Lin Yi said immediately.
Hong Zhong could not help but smile and said, "Hero Lin, you don't have to worry. Although the qualification to enter the north island auction is very rare, and ordinary people can't enter unless they are a powerful force, but fortunately, our Hong Chamber of Commerce is also one of the sponsors of the auction, so we naturally have the qualification to bring extra people to enter. If it's convenient for Hero Lin, how about coming with me?"
Lin Yi could not help but be overjoyed. Before coming here, he thought he would have to spend a lot of effort to get the qualification, but he did not expect that Hong Zhong would easily solve it for him with a simple sentence. Things like connections were really priceless at critical times.
"Thank you, Manager Hong." Lin Yi said gratefully.
