"Hehe, I've had some fortuitous encounters on the path of alchemy. Xinyan and Xiaotao have already troubled you a lot, senior. If you need any pills in the future, just leave it to me," Lin Yi said seriously.
"Young hero Lin, you're too kind. They're both my disciples. How could I just stand by and watch when it comes to their matters?" The Divine Nun of the East Sea shook her head, but her expression showed that she was still slightly relieved.
As one of the three pillars of the Morning Star Academy, her strength was obviously unquestionable. However, when it came to cultivation resources, she was a little strained. Regular cultivation resources were not a problem, but when it came to pills that required an astronomical price like the Thunder Xuan Pill, she could not help but feel a little powerless. After all, she had always cultivated alone, so she was not strong in terms of wealth.
Lin Yi smiled and said nothing, but the Divine Nun of the East Sea said, "Young hero Lin, you should keep one for yourself. One each for Yan 'er and Xiaotao is enough. There's no point in having too many Thunder Xuan Pills. As time goes on, the medicinal effects will gradually fade away, and it'll even make people feel like they have a backup plan. It's not good for breakthroughs."
"Senior is right." Lin Yi nodded. Breakthroughs required an indomitable resolve. It was either succeed or die trying. If he had an extra Thunder Xuan Pill in his hands, he could not help but think that there would be a next time if he failed this time, which was not a good thing.
After they finished their breakfast, Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao followed the Divine Nun of the East Sea to cultivate. This was a morning lesson they had to do every day. Although the Divine Nun of the East Sea did not mind them staying with Lin Yi, the path of cultivation had to be persistent. If the two girls even gave up on their morning lessons because of Lin Yi's arrival, she would not allow it.
The Divine Nun of the East Sea was not the only one who requested that. Lin Yi thought the same. After all, he was someone who cultivated without rest. He would cultivate diligently whenever he had the slightest bit of free time. Otherwise, no matter how many fortuitous encounters he had, it would just be a castle in the air. It was impossible for him to reach his current level.
If they wanted to be together, they would have plenty of time after the morning class.
As the two of them attended morning lessons with the Divine Nun of the East Sea, the Divine Nun of the East Sea even got the Deaf Nanny to prepare a cultivation room for Lin Yi. She treated him like a nephew already, which made Lin Yi feel rather flattered.
"Senior Ghost, how do you think we should resolve the matter of Qing Danzi?" Lin Yi took some time to ask the ghost for advice. Since he had already accepted Qing Danzi as his apprentice, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Qing Danzi's problems. Unfortunately, with his meager alchemy experience, he simply couldn't find any clues, so he could only ask the ghost for advice.
"You're asking me?" The thing was surprised, "Do you think I'm that old thing Zhang Liju? I'm not an Alchemist, how would I know! "
"Ugh …" Lin Yi was speechless. He was just trying to find a doctor in a desperate situation, forgetting that different professions were worlds apart. No matter how knowledgeable this thing was, there was no way it would know something like this. Alchemy was a very profound profession, after all.
"Idiot, if you don't know, why don't you go ask someone else?" The ghost curled its lips.
"Ask who? Zhang Liju? I haven't even met him yet, do you want me to ask Cai Zhongyang or Hou Guanqi? " Lin Yi said after some thought. Out of all the people he knew, these two were the best Alchemists, and they were both Zhang Liju's apprentices. However, he didn't think that their skills were better than Qing Danzi's, so they probably wouldn't be able to help.
"Isn't that little girlfriend of yours pretty good? The one who gave you the Pesticide Cauldron?" The ghost said.
"You mean Jing Jing?" Lin Yi was taken aback, he shook his head. "Although Jing Jing is an Alchemist, she's not a traditional one. She's an expert in high-technology Alchemy, I don't think Qing Danzi would be able to help with this."
"Are you stupid? Your apprentice is already a Level Seven Alchemist, unless you can really find Zhang Liju, which normal Alchemist would be able to solve his problem? Why don't you try asking that little girlfriend of yours? She might be able to help. It's just asking anyway, it's not a big deal, "The ghost said disapprovingly.
"You're right." Lin Yi made up his mind and immediately left Donghai Pavilion to return to Hong's Merchant Association. He wrote a letter about Qing Danzi and asked Honest Chai to send it to the northern island. Han Jingjing had also arrived at the northern island with Shanghai Laner.
However, sending a letter was a difficult task. Every branch of Hong's Merchant Association and the headquarters had their own communication birds, except for East Continent, which was too far away. Normal birds couldn't cover the area, so they had to use conventional methods.
From East Continent to the northern island, it would take at least two months if they took the usual route on a treasure ship. However, this was only the conventional route. If they used a special long-distance communication channel and didn't take the treasure ship, they could directly use a special flying spirit beast to help them deliver the message. The time could be shortened a lot.
However, flying spirit beasts that could travel between two Heavenly Islands were rare. It was a big problem to domesticate them on a large scale, and it was even more difficult to unify them and cover the five Heavenly Islands, including East Continent. This wasn't something that a single merchant association could support on its own. Only a specialized transportation company had the ability to do this.
In fact, even a transportation company could only do this by borrowing a lot of resources from the various merchant associations. That was why all the merchant associations, including Hong's Merchant Association, could cooperate with them to deliver messages. However, they needed to spend a lot of spirit jades.
After Cui Mingshan personally delivered the letter, Honest Chai asked Lin Yi, "The second auction will be held in three days. It's an individual auction. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Oh?" Lin Yi was stunned. He seemed to have heard Honest Chai mention this before, but after meeting Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao, he had long forgotten about it.
"If you have nothing else to do, why don't you take Miss Huang and the others to have a look? I heard that an individual auction is much more interesting than a merchant association's auction. There are all kinds of rare items. Not only will it be more lively, but there will also be more buyers and sellers. It should be very interesting." Honest Chai suggested.
"Is that so? Is there a need to enter the auction? "Lin Yi asked.
"According to the rules of the auction, it's not just about having enough spirit jades to participate in an individual auction. You must also take out something that can pass the auction's evaluation. Only then can you obtain the qualification to enter the auction. Otherwise, you won't even be able to enter." Honest Chai explained.
