"Shopkeeper Hong, are those people from Middle Island?" Lin Yi asked.
"That's right, not only are they from Middle Island, but they also have a strong background." Hong Zhong paused, "Master Lin, did you notice the five colors on their sleeves? That's the symbol of Five Elements Sect, which is the Five Elements Pharmacy of Middle Island."
"Five Elements Pharmacy?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up as he thought about it.
"Although it's called a pharmacy, it's the number one super business group in the Merchant Alliance. It's under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Elixirs, and I'm sure you know the person in charge of the Hall of Elixirs, Miracle Doctor Zhang Liju!" Hong Zhong said with admiration.
After hearing this, Lin Yi was even more stunned. If that was the case, Tian Chan was from the Five Elements Pharmacy, didn't that mean that she was Zhang Liju's disciple? She was teleported to Middle Island?
From the common world, different people would be teleported to different places. This was a very normal speculation, but Lin Yi always thought that a girl like Tian Chan would be teleported to West Island, where female practitioners gathered. He didn't expect this result.
But, even if Tian Chan was teleported to Middle Island and became a member of the Five Elements Pharmacy, it didn't make sense for them to be strangers, right? What did this mean?
"Shopkeeper Hong, do you have any way of finding out where these people live?" Lin Yi thought about it and lowered his voice.
Lin Yi didn't believe that Tian Chan didn't recognize him. How long had it been? It was completely unrealistic! He had to find a way to figure out the reason. Besides, the relationship between him and Hong Zhong was far from what it was before he came here. They were in the same boat, and he didn't need to be too cautious. He could just ask directly.
As expected, although Hong Zhong was a little surprised, he didn't ask too many questions. He replied softly, "I'm not sure about that, but according to the usual practice, the North Island has always arranged for important guests to stay in the core, the Hall of Heroes. These people are from the Five Elements Pharmacy, so they should be staying there."
"Gathering Hall of Heroes. Alright, I'll remember it. Thank you!" Lin Yi nodded. He was almost done here, so Lin Yi slipped out. He couldn't wait to find Tian Chan and ask about the situation.
Watching Lin Yi leave, Hong Zhong smiled as expected and said to himself, "This Young Hero Lin seems to have some relationship with the Five Elements Pharmacy. He's really unfathomable. But, in less than three days, to be able to make hundreds of top quality elixirs, even in the entire Five Elements Pharmacy, other than the Elixir God Zhang Liju, there's probably no one who can beat him. "
Hong Zhong shook his head and sighed. He did not think too much about it and turned around to deal with Shopkeeper Hao, Wang Tong, and the others. This time, he was nearly forced into a corner by these people. He had to take advantage of this opportunity to slap their faces back.
As for Lin Yi, everyone had their own secrets. An experienced person like Hong Zhong naturally knew that knowing too much might not be a good thing. The most important thing now was to get Lin Yi on his side and try to pull him to his side. Other than that, everything else was unnecessary.
On the other hand, Lin Yi had already made a round in the North Island. After a few turns, he quickly arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Heroes. However, he was stopped by someone.
"This is an important place for important guests. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter," The person in front of Lin Yi was a guard in black armor. It was the symbol of the North Island, the North Guard.
"I have a friend who lives inside, and I just want to talk to him. Can you guys make an exception?" Lin Yi tried to ask.
The North Guard responded expressionlessly, "Unless you have a pass, or someone comes out to pick you up, please go back. Don't ask for trouble."
As they spoke, the North Guard showed an aggressive and fierce aura. It seemed that if something went wrong, they would kill Lin Yi on the spot the next moment.
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched. He was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Each of the North Guard in front of him was stronger than him. If he really fought, he would be courting death. He could only nod and retreat.
After that, Lin Yi walked around the Hall of Heroes again and found that there was a sentry every few steps. There was no flaw at all. He had no choice but to give up the idea of waiting for an opportunity to sneak in.
Looking at the Hall of Heroes from afar, Lin Yi could only shake his head and sigh. It seemed that if he wanted to meet Tian Chan again, he would have to wait until tomorrow's auction.
The next morning, the Northernmost Island was bustling with noise. Lanterns and streamers were hung up and down. It was a festive scene.
If it was just the usual North Island Auction Fair, which was held once every six months, it would not be so rare. However, this time, it was a rare Four Islands Auction Fair, which might not happen even once in decades.
Following the crowd, Lin Yi and Hong Zhong came to the largest pavilion on the Northernmost Island. This was the ultimate venue of the auction. All the auction items would be competed here. The final winner would be revealed here.
Seeing the appearance of Hong Zhong and Zhang Xuan, an uproar broke out at the scene. The incident of the Hong Chamber of Commerce suddenly taking out more than 100 top-grade elixirs yesterday evening had already spread throughout the entire Northernmost Island. Everyone knew about it.
The faces of Manager Hao, Wang Tong, and the others who had arrived long ago darkened. They had put in so much effort to deal with the Hong Chamber of Commerce this time, but in the end, before the auction even started, their plot had already been foiled.
It was neither early nor late. At the last moment of the three-day exhibition, they suddenly took out more than 100 top-grade elixirs. Even if everyone thought with their toes, they could figure out that they had been fooled by Hong Zhong, the old man!
Not only them, but even Housekeeper Song, who sold the medicinal herbs to Hong Zhong, was shocked for a long time when he heard the news.
Like everyone else, Housekeeper Song did not believe that someone could refine so many top-grade elixirs in such a short time. The only reasonable explanation was that Hong Zhong had secretly hidden them long ago, and only took them out at the last moment to slap these people in the face. The previous purchase of medicinal herbs was just a cover-up.
"This despicable and shameless old man!" Wang Tong and the others gnashed their teeth in hatred. It was not easy to find an opportunity to drag the giant Hong's Chamber of Commerce down, but they did not expect it to be like this. All the previous plans were simply a joke. They really felt that they were blind.
