Thirteen pills was not a lot. Although a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill was rare, it was nothing to be surprised about. However, when these two conditions were stacked together, it was extremely rare.
Hong Zhong had been the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades, but he had never seen such extravagance.
"Haha, I am also preparing for the auction. If I do not have enough spiritual jades on hand, it would be useless even if I go to the auction today." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"That's right. Although there are many good things in an auction, the price is also high. If you do not prepare enough capital, it will be a pity if you miss out on the treasure in the end." Hong Zhong nodded in agreement. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Young hero Lin, I will accept these thirteen supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pills for fifteen thousand spiritual jades. What do you think?"
Fifteen thousand spiritual jades! Hearing that, Lin Yi couldn't help but be a little stunned. He sucked in a cold breath and said, "Manager Hong, this price of yours is too high. I'm always taken care of by you. I can't accept this favor."
The last time he came to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to sell supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pills, it was to compete with Yu Zhe for the Star Inkstone. At that time, the price of a single supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill was only worth eight hundred spiritual jades.
Eight hundred spiritual jades per pill. According to this price, thirteen supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pills would only be worth a little over ten thousand spiritual jades. Compared to the price given by Hong Zhong, it was almost five thousand spiritual jades!
Giving five thousand spiritual jades in one go was already a big discount for someone of Hong Zhong's level. He could not be said to be unkind to Lin Yi.
Hong Zhong immediately smiled and waved his hand. "Young hero Lin, you are thinking too much. Normally, the purchase price of a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pill is usually one thousand spiritual jades, or even higher. The reason why I gave you eight hundred last time was because you are a newcomer to our business. That's only because you're a newcomer who's trading with us for the first time. Merchants are used to killing people, so they'll definitely lower your price. "
"But even if one pill is one thousand spiritual jades, it will only be thirteen thousand spiritual jades?" Lin Yi shook his head.
"That's right. However, in all transactions, other than the usual price as a reference, there is no other way. The final transaction price depends on the market, and right now, the market is good. Giving you fifteen thousand is really not much, "Hong Zhong said with a smile.
The other party insisted. Lin Yi couldn't refuse anymore and could only shake his head in amusement. "Manager Hong, this is the first time I've met someone like you. You're always giving preferential treatment to your customers, and at the same time, you're still trying to find a good excuse. If all the merchants in the world were like you, I'm afraid they'd all go bankrupt from losses."
Hong Zhong laughed heartily and personally swiped a spirit jade card for Lin Yi to settle the bill. At the same time, he explained, "Young hero Lin, what this old man said just now was not a lie. Auction items are usually jointly provided by various Chambers of Commerce, and the North Island branch under this old man just so happens to be in need of high-grade auction items these days. Therefore, Young Hero Lin, your 13 supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Barrier Breaking Pills can be considered as timely assistance. This price is absolutely fair and reasonable. "
"Since I'm able to help Manager Hong. That couldn't be better. "Lin Yi nodded and then asked," By the way, where is the auction? Then, where is the auction? "
Last time, Hong Zhong had said that the auction was not in the inner street of the market place. Moreover, he specifically told Lin Yi to come earlier, indicating that the place should not be close, so Lin Yi was quite curious about it.
"The Northernmost Island, north of the Heavenly Stage Island, the northernmost island that can be explored. On the map, it's only a small place the size of a palm, but it's the most high-end place in the northern region. It's one of the top five Heavenly Stage Islands, a gold-squandering den." Hong Zhong introduced to Lin Yi.
Although he guessed that Lin Yi must have an extremely deep but unknown background, he already knew that Lin Yi's identity on the surface was just a newcomer of the Blue Cloud Pavilion. For a place like the Northernmost Island, under normal circumstances, he should not have even heard of it.
In fact, although the Northernmost Island was a famous gold-squandering den, it was the exclusive territory of the big shots. Ordinary cultivators were not qualified to enter and exit, and there were very few people who even knew of its existence. People like Senior Brother Ku Bi, who had been in the Three Pavilions for some years, knew nothing about it.
"The Northernmost Island sounds good. How do we go there?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and asked.
Hong Zhong understood what Lin Yi meant. He shook his head and said, "There is no Teleportation Formation, so the only way to go there is by flying spirit beast. It will take at least four hours to fly there, so we have to hurry."
While the two were talking, Hong Zhong had already ordered people to get ready. A huge flying spirit beast was on standby on the street. This time, in addition to Hong Zhong and Lin Yi, there were also two staff members who were responsible for helping Hong Zhong to go to the auction on the Northernmost Island.
In the midst of whistling, the huge flying spirit beast soared into the sky and flew toward the north at top speed.
Standing on the back of the flying spirit beast, Lin Yi could see that in addition to him and Hong Zhong, there were also more than a dozen flying spirit beasts on the north island at the same time. They took off from different places in the same direction as them, heading toward the Northernmost Island.
Looking at this scene, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Hong Zhong's expression was a little strange. He could not help but wonder, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "
Since it was an auction, the Hong Chamber of Commerce would send people there. Naturally, the Three Pavilions of the north island and other Chamber of Commerce forces would also send people there. There should be nothing strange about this, right?
"Nothing, I just think that these people are a little too big. In the past, the north island auctions would not send so many people at once …" Hong Zhong said thoughtfully, pinching his chin.
Lin Yi heard the voice and looked over. He found that there were more than a dozen people on the other flying spirit beasts, but there were only four people on his side. In contrast, it seemed a lot thinner.
According to the past practice, the north island auctions were held once every six months. This frequency was not too high or too low. All the forces on the north island would send people to participate, but very few people would make such a big fuss.
Basically, Hong Zhong and his two deputies were enough to deal with it. If more people went there, it would be idle. After all, it was not a fight, but a normal auction transaction. There was no such thing as strength in numbers.
However, putting aside the fact that there was only one clan that had mobilized such a large number of people, there were at least a dozen people standing on each of the flying spirit beasts. Some of them even had more people. This was too abnormal.
