When he first walked into the Hong Merchant Guild, he felt that the business here was flourishing with each passing day. However, it was actually filled with danger. If not for him coincidentally bumping into them, Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan might have fallen into misfortune, or even be finished.
"Doesn't that mean that the Aristocratic Guild will definitely win?" Lin Yi asked. Since the head alchemist of the Morning Star Academy was the Aristocratic Guild's ally, the other guilds, including the Hong Merchant Guild, would not be able to compete with them in terms of high grade pills. When the time comes, the Hong Merchant Guild would definitely be in the limelight.
"That might not be the case. It's true that the Aristocratic Guild has the support of the academy's head alchemist, and it would be easy for them to obtain high grade pills. However, if they were to auction off the pills refined by the academy's alchemist, it would not be considered as having any ability. If the Morning Star Academy decided that the Aristocratic Guild would be the Aristocratic Guild because of this, wouldn't they be slapping their own faces?" Honest Chai shook his head.
"Hehe, using the academy's own pills to give to the Aristocratic Guild, and then letting the Aristocratic Guild auction it off to the Morning Star Academy. If this were to spread, people would definitely laugh their heads off. The higher-ups of the academy would not do such a stupid thing." Lin Yi nodded his head and laughed.
"That's right. However, the Aristocratic Guild is still very popular this time. Other than the academy's alchemist, they have their own channels. Rumor has it that they have prepared a set of ten Golden Condensing Nascent Pills!" Honest Chai sighed, unable to conceal the envy on his face.
One could not blame him for being envious. The Golden Condensing Nascent Pill was the main pill in the Eastern Continent's Golden Level Sea. Because most of the students here were Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts, everyone could use it. Thus, the price would naturally soar. Especially if a set of ten was put up for auction, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
"Only ten Golden Condensing Nascent Pills?" Lin Yi smiled faintly after hearing that, and said something shocking: "Then we'll auction five Thunderprofound Pills."
"Huh? What did you say? " Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan were dumbfounded. They looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that they were hallucinating.
Lin Yi smiled and didn't say anything. He took out the Lightning Xuan Pills he refined in Soaring Cloud Academy and lined them up in front of the two. Every time he took out a pill, Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan sucked in a breath of cold air. By the time all five pills were laid out on the table, the two of them were completely dumbfounded.
"What? Is that not enough? "Lin Yi glanced at the two of them.
"No … no …" Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan waved their hands.
As the shopkeeper and vice shopkeeper of the branch, they were people who had seen the world. Lin Yi taking out five Lightning Xuan Pills in one go was already heaven-defying enough. The ten Golden Soul Pills that the rich families would give out were on a completely different level compared to this. The value of these pills couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
In the Yellow Step Sea Region of the Eastern Continent, the Golden Nascent Condensation Pill could only be regarded as the pursuit of ordinary disciples, while the real elite disciples were all trying to break through to the Profound Ascension Realm. Only the Profound Thunder Pill was the pill that they dreamed of, and it was something that they wanted to obtain at all costs.
"Still not enough? That's fine. Hurry up and get some ingredients. I will use this opportunity to refine some rare pills. Beauty Pill and other ingredients can be brought over. Hurry up. "Lin Yi ordered.
"Ah? Beauty Pill? You can even refine pills of this grade? " Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan were completely shocked. They didn't even know that Lin Yi was an alchemist. Moreover, he was a rare Seventh Grade Alchemist. This was enough for him to become the chief alchemist of the school!
"It's alright. I've only refined the Profound Lightning Pill before. I haven't tried the Beauty Pill before. I can give it a try." Lin Yi smiled.
"Vice President is truly an expert!" Honest Chai and Cui Mingshan looked at each other with three words written on their faces. I'm convinced!
Originally, they were at their wits' end. But with the sudden appearance of a great god like Lin Yi, all their problems were easily solved. The two of them couldn't wait to send out orders to prepare all kinds of ingredients. The auction would begin in a few days, and time was of the essence.
Lin Yi thus stayed at the Hong Clan Merchant Guild to refine pills. The almighty Xi Shan who had been tailing Lin Yi was speechless. He had been following Lin Yi from afar until he saw Lin Yi walk into the Hong Clan Merchant Guild. Then, he could only wait outside the door. After all, the Hong Clan Merchant Guild might not have as detailed an inspection as an inn, but large scale merchant guilds like this would have surveillance arrays installed. Who knows, his identity as a heretic cultivator might be exposed.
In the end, the almighty Xi Shan waited for an entire day. Even when the sky turned dark, he didn't see Lin Yi coming out. He couldn't help but feel bewildered. What's going on? Could he have escaped from the back door?
But as soon as this thought popped up, he rejected it himself. That couldn't be. His Divine Sense had been enveloping the surroundings from morning to night, but he didn't find Lin Yi at all. Therefore, there was only one possibility. Lin Yi was still in the Hong Clan Merchant Guild!
But now that the Merchant Guild was closed and Lin Yi didn't come out, the almighty Xi Shan couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't help but go up and ask, "Are there any customers inside?"
The waiter in charge of closing glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, all the customers have left. If you need anything, please come early tomorrow."
"Is that so?" The almighty Xi Shan looked inside and saw that there was indeed no one inside. He could only shake his head and leave. As he walked, he muttered, "How can that be? That's impossible? Tsk … But that kid does have some strange tricks up his sleeves. He might really be able to hide from my Divine Sense and escape. Could he have returned to the inn? "
Thinking of this, the almighty Xi Shan hurriedly ran back to the inn and waited there. Lin Yi made him suffer so much this time, he wouldn't let this dog off so easily!
In the end, the almighty Xi Shan stayed there for three days. With his pitiful appearance as a beggar, the amount of Spirit Jades he collected was enough to make him rich. But he didn't even see half a shadow of Lin Yi.
This time, the almighty Xi Shan was completely discouraged. Even a beggar who lived in the wilderness for so many days would lose his temper, let alone a Mysterious Ascended late stage evil practitioner like him. If his fellow sect members saw him like this, he wouldn't be able to raise his head in his next life!
There was no other way, the almighty Xi Shan couldn't endure it anymore. He decided to leave first and come back to settle the score with this dog after he recovered from his injuries!
Five days passed in a flash. Lin Yi stretched his back and walked out of the room that Honest Chai had specially prepared for him. In these few days, other than his normal cultivation, he had been busy refining elixirs. He only came out this morning because today was the official day of the Morning Star Auction.
