Hong Zhong didn't know about Shang Wanyi, so he nodded casually and said, "That's an understatement. You have to know that the prices in the Far North Island are completely different from those in the Far North Island. Perhaps the Yang Pole Grass can only be sold for tens of thousands of spirit jades here, but the problem is that you can't buy it at all!"
Lin Yi suddenly understood. In fact, he had been to all the islands, so he had some understanding of the differences in prices. It was just that he hadn't thought about it.
Because of this huge difference in prices, the Tiandan Pavilion's high-grade elixirs were very attractive to Shang Wanyi. As long as he obtained the authorization, he could resell it to the Far North Island or the East Continent, and he would definitely make a huge profit.
If that was the case, Cai Zhongyang would be in trouble if he lost the Yang Pole Grass. Fortunately, Yuhua and Shang Wanyi both said that they would bear the consequences of the Yang Pole Grass. If it was only two or three million spirit jades, then it wouldn't be a problem for the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
Hong Zhong thought about it and said, "Actually, I underestimated the value of the Yang Pole Grass. There's another factor that I didn't take into account."
Lin Yi was thinking about Cai Zhongyang's troubles, so he asked casually, "What factor?"
"There aren't many elixirs that can be used for Yang Pole Grass, but its main use is to refine the Yin Yang Pill. The other main ingredient of the Yin Yang Pill is the Yin Core Fruit. Brother Lin, as a high-grade alchemist, you must have heard of it, right?" Hong Zhong didn't know that not only had Lin Yi heard of it, but he had also refined the Yin Yang Pill by himself, saving Shang Wanyi's life.
However, Lin Yi was also a little embarrassed. If it wasn't for Shang Wanyi's cultivation deviation, he really wouldn't have known about the Yin and Yang Pill, Yang Pole Grass, and Yin Core Fruit. Being praised by Hong Zhong like that made him a little embarrassed.
Without waiting for Lin Yi's reply, Hong Zhong continued, "Compared to Yang Grass, the Yin Core Fruit is produced much more. This is because a Yin Core Fruit Tree usually has about twenty Yin Core Fruits, while Yang Grass only grows in a certain area. So, although both are the main ingredients of the Yin Yang Pill, in terms of value, Yang Grass is at least ten times more valuable than Yin Core Fruit."
"So that's how it is!" Lin Yi nodded lightly, but in his heart, he was thinking, why did that old man Zheng Dongsheng take out the Dark Core Fruit?
Although the value of the Dark Core Fruit was not as high as the Yang Pole Grass, on the ancient battleship, the spiritual jades that Zheng Dongsheng received were far from the true value of the Dark Core Fruit. To say that this old man was sincere in saving people, Lin Yi would never believe it even if he was beaten to death. They were the ones who poisoned him, how could he be so kind as to take out the Dark Core Fruit?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that something was wrong. According to what Shang Wanyi said, his cultivation deviation was caused by poisoning, and the person who poisoned him was most likely someone from the Zheng family. If that was the case, why did Zheng Dongsheng sell a Dark Core Fruit at such a high price? Could it be that he was hot-headed and deliberately wanted to squander?
Perhaps Zheng Dongsheng really just wanted to create an opportunity for his grandson, Zheng Tianqing, to win over Li Zaoyi, but Lin Yi's intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple. At that time, Shang Yuhua was already willing to take out hundreds of thousands of spiritual jades to buy the Dark Core Fruit. There was no reason for Zheng Dongsheng not to earn spiritual jades.
A vague idea gradually formed, but Lin Yi had not been able to completely connect the clues, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
As they were talking about the Yang Pole Grass, Lin Yi's divine sense saw Wei Shenjin, Shang Yuhua, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hongcai walking into the Hong Chamber of Commerce together.
Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai were Lin Yi's underlings, so they naturally had a good relationship with the Hong Chamber of Commerce. They knew all the employees, so when they entered, they were told that Lin Yi was upstairs with Shanghai Laner.
Without needing Lin Yi's greeting, the four of them were led to the VIP room by the employee.
"Boss, so you've been here for a long time. We are the ones who are late!" Wei Shenjin held Shang Yuhua's hand and greeted them with a smile.
Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai also greeted Lin Yi and the other two before sitting down.
"Did you guys find anything after walking around for a day?" Lin Yi guessed that there was no hope of finding the Yang Pole Grass, but he still asked. What if they were lucky?
Shang Yuhua frowned slightly and said, "We didn't find the Yang Pole Grass. Boss, since you're here, you must have asked Manager Hong. It seems that there's no other way this time."
Hong Zhong thought to himself that it was the people from the Universal Chamber of Commerce who wanted the Yang Pole Grass. If he had it, he wouldn't mind selling it to Shang Yuhua for Lin Yi's sake. Unfortunately, he didn't have it, so there was nothing more to say.
In the north island, the Hong's Chamber of Commerce and the people from the Universal Chamber of Commerce didn't have much of a relationship. Not only that, but there was also a huge conflict between them. If it weren't for Lin Yi, the employees of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce wouldn't even let Shang Yuhua in.
"This kind of spirit herb is something that can only be found by chance. Don't worry too much about it." Lin Yi could only comfort him. Now he only hoped that Cai Zhongyang's customers could be settled with spirit stones, or else he would be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. His vague guess just now instantly became clear. Cai Zhongyang was in big trouble! Could it be that the Zheng family's target wasn't Shang Wanyi and Li Zaoyi at all, but Cai Zhongyang? Compared to that, the other two were just incidental?
But there seemed to be no conflict between Cai Zhongyang and the Zheng family. Why would the idiots of the Zheng family plot against him? Of course, if there was a conflict, it was only because Cai Zhongyang was close to Lin Yi, so he naturally became the Zheng family's enemy.
Cai Zhongyang was being targeted because of his relationship with him!
Lin Yi's eyes instantly became extremely cold. If this guess was true, then the Zheng family really didn't know what was good for them. How could they plot against his friend for such a reason? This made him even angrier than directly targeting Lin Yi himself!
As for whether this was true, it would be clear as long as he waited until he reached the Northernmost Island and saw how much trouble Cai Zhongyang would get into because of this. At that time, Lin Yi would definitely let the Zheng family know that playing with fire would only result in self-immolation.
"Brother Lin, what's the matter with you?" Hong Zhong noticed the sudden change in Lin Yi's body at the first moment. Even he was secretly shocked by the cold and bone-chilling killing intent. In the past, Lin Yi's strength was not even comparable to an ant to him, but now he could move him. This speed of progress was really too terrifying.
Lin Yi took a light breath and quickly restrained the aura on his body. After returning to his normal appearance, he smiled and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something else."
