"Cheers!" Shanghai Laner and Ning Xuefei answered cheerfully. Lin Yi also raised his glass and put Hong Zhong's matter aside for the time being.
Hong Zhong was his ally. The better Hong Zhong did, the more help he would be to him in the future. But for now, even Hong Zhong himself didn't know how to get out of the predicament. Lin Yi was only an honorary vice president and half an outsider to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, so he couldn't help much at the moment. There was still plenty of time.
However, it wasn't a bad thing for Lin Yi that Hong Zhong came back to the north island now. He was a reliable person, and it would be much easier for him to get some rare treasures from the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
After the meal, Lin Yi asked, "Mr. Hong, I need a spiritual medicine called Appearance Mushroom. I've booked it here before. Do you have any news?"
"Young Master Lin, I'll ask someone to check it out." After a while, Hong Zhong, who got the report, shook his head and said, "There's no news yet. I've used Appearance Mushroom before, so I know a little about it. It's not only rare, but it will wither quickly after being picked. So, very few Trial Takers will go to collect Appearance Mushroom. Even if they book it in advance, it's hard to get it in a short time."
"I see. Then we can only wait." Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Young Master Lin, don't worry. I'll ask someone to increase the reward. It won't take long." Hong Zhong comforted him with a smile, "Those who take the task to collect spiritual medicine are gone for many days, so it's normal to have no news for a while. Few people will go there just for Appearance Mushroom, because it's a waste of energy and cost, and it can't be sold at a high price. But with a high reward, there must be brave people. As long as I raise the reward, someone will be interested. At least when they go to collect medicine, they'll pay more attention to Appearance Mushroom. And the probability of finding it will be higher. "
Hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly had a thought. He said, "Where exactly are the people that Old Hong mentioned gathering herbs? Could it be the back mountains of the three Pavilions? Can I go there personally?"
Lin Yi didn't know how long the King of Junk could drag on, but it was better to get these supplementary materials as soon as possible. Rather than relying on others, it was better to rely on oneself. This had always been Lin Yi's style.
"Oh … This old man has forgotten. Young Hero Lin, although you are still a newcomer to the Welcoming Pavilion, in terms of strength, you are much stronger than me. He has long surpassed most of the disciples of the three pavilions. " When Hong Zhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and explained, "The place to pick the herbs is not in the back mountain. That is the private territory of the Three Great Pavilions. Only disciples of the Three Great Pavilions with permission can enter. Normally, it is not open to the public. Furthermore, many rare herbs and resources, even if they are found, will be handed over to the Three Great Pavilions and are not allowed to flow out."
Lin Yi thought it made sense. Just like the newcomer's trial, the herbs collected in the process would eventually be handed over to the Back Mountain Hall. They were not allowed to take them out privately.
"If it is not the back mountain, then where is it?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"The back mountain is rich in resources. But the back mountain is not the only place in the north island where you can collect herbs. You can go to other places. However, Young Hero Lin, if you really want to go in person. You need to register an account in the North Island Cultivators' Guild. "Hong Zhong suggested.
"The North Island Cultivators' Guild?" It was the first time that Lin Yi had heard of this name since he came to the Heaven-Stage Island for half a year.
Hong Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, this is a guild that theoretically covers all the cultivators in the north island. With the three pavilions as the leaders, other forces and grassroots rogue cultivators will also register and gather in the North Island Cultivators' Guild. It will issue all kinds of reward trial tasks every day. Only the cultivators who have registered with it can accept the task and get the reward. "
"Oh? So I can also go? "Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
"Of course, the disciples of the three pavilions are the mainstream group there. Young Hero Lin, you must know that the newcomers of the Welcome Pavilion will become the official outer disciples of the three pavilions after one year. Unless they become the core disciples of the Gold Core Stage or apprentice to the elders of the three pavilions, the cultivation resources are still very limited. If they want to improve quickly, they have to rely on themselves and constantly do trial tasks to get paid, "Hong Zhong explained in detail.
"But, I heard people say that the three pavilions give out missions themselves?" Lin Yi was confused.
"That's right, but the missions issued by the Three Pavilions are generally high-risk and high-reward missions. Although they're specially prepared for the disciples of the Three Pavilions, ordinary outer disciples can't do them if they're not strong enough. In contrast, the missions issued by the Cultivators' Guild in the North Island every day are much easier. It's a way for most of the outer disciples of the Three Pavilions to increase their experience and also a shortcut to earn spiritual jades. For example, Young Master Lin, the Heart-devouring Exquisite Grass you asked me to buy was obtained from the bounty mission over there," Hong Zhong revealed.
Lin Yi's interest was piqued. He asked eagerly, "Elder Hong, are there any requirements for registering at the Cultivator's Guild?"
"There are no thresholds. As long as your strength is above the Foundation Establishment Stage, it's OK. Your Welcome Pavilion generally doesn't encourage newcomers to go there to take trial tasks, so they won't tell you at all. But with your strength, it's a different story." Hong Zhong smiled lightly.
"Okay, then I'll try." Lin Yi immediately made up his mind.
Before his voice died away, Shanghai Laner and Ning Xuefei suddenly said in unison, "Great, we want to go with you!"
Lin Yi's face suddenly darkened, but before he could object, Hong Zhong had already spoken for him, "No, that place is extremely dangerous. If you two go, not only will you not be able to help Young Master Lin, but you will also get into trouble. It's only been a few days, have you forgotten Si Haixiao?"
"Grandpa Hong, we may not necessarily meet that old bastard …" Shanghai Laner said weakly.
Hong Zhong shook his head helplessly, "What I mean is, there are more than one or two scumbags like him in the cultivation world. Beautiful female cultivators like you two, no matter where you go, you will be the focus of attention, and it's easy to get into trouble. The trial site is completely out of the control of the three pavilions and the west island. If anything happens, it's too late to save you."
