Lin Yi scanned the area with his divine sense and knew that it was Shang Wanyi and Yuhua. They knew that Li Zeyu was here to cause trouble when they heard that a Northern Guard was coming to the courtyard where Five Elements Commerce was staying. That was why they came here as soon as possible.
Lin Yi was quite pleased with Shang Wanyi's response- at least he didn't stay out of trouble at a time like this, rushing over to explain himself without hesitation. Cai Zhongyang saving his life with the Yang Pole Grass wasn't a waste.
Li Zeyu turned around and snorted, "And who are you?"
"I am the Vice President of the All Path Chamber of Commerce, Shang Wanyi. Young Island Master, please listen to this Shang's words. Vice President Cai only took out the Yang Extreme Grass to save me, so this Shang is also responsible for this matter. If Young Island Master wants to pursue this matter, this Shang is willing to take responsibility!" Shang Wanyi was a bit guilty, but he had to repay Cai Zhongyang and Lin Yi for saving his life. Otherwise, he would never be able to survive in Middle Island.
"So you have a share too! Let him in! " Li Zeyu waved his hand and signaled the Northern Guard to let Shang Wanyi and his daughter in. Then he said coldly, "If you take out the Yang Pole Grass, then you will be fine. If you don't, humph, not to mention the Five Elements Commerce and the Universal Chamber of Commerce, even the top ten Chambers of Commerce on Heaven-Class Island cannot save your life!"
These words were extremely domineering, but Cai Zhongyang and Shang Wanyi's hearts turned cold at the same time, because they knew that Li Zeyu really wasn't joking with them, and that this was indeed his plan.
"Young Island Master, although the Yang Pole Grass is precious, it is not something that cannot be obtained. The Universal Chamber of Commerce is willing to search for the Yang Pole Grass as compensation to Young Island Master. On top of that, we will take out another ten million Spirit Jades as compensation. I hope that Young Island Master can be lenient!" Shang Wanyi cupped his fists and bowed. His posture was extremely humble, almost as if he was begging Li Zeyu.
House Li was indeed strong, but the Universal Chamber of Commerce and Five Elements Commerce weren't weak either, especially when Five Elements Commerce was backed by the Pill Hall. Although they were considered independent from the Pill Hall, no one would deny that if something were to happen to Five Elements Commerce, the Pill God Zhang Liju wouldn't just sit and watch.
Therefore, Shang Wanyi still had some thoughts in his mind. He thought that after sincerely taking out such a compensation plan, Li Zeyu should not continue to be aggressive.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he thought. After listening to his words, Li Zeyu only laughed coldly, "Do you think I am lacking ten million Spirit Jades? I'll be honest with you, unless you can find the Yang Pole Grass within two days, otherwise, even if you give me a hundred billion Spirit Jades, you won't be able to leave here alive! "
Cai Zhongyang and the others all took in a deep breath. They didn't expect Li Zeyu to be so resolute. Other than the Yang Pole Grass, it seemed like there was nothing else that could make him change his mind.
Lin Yi walked up and cupped his fists, "Young Island Master Li, may I ask what you need the Yang Pole Grass for?"
"Who are you?" Li Zeyu stared at Lin Yi with an unfriendly expression. He wasn't in a good mood right now, and he wasn't someone that any random person could talk to.
"North Island Blue Cloud Pavilion disciple Lin Yi!" Lin Yi casually told Li Zeyu his identity. Since other identities weren't threatening in front of Li Zeyu, he might as well say that he was a disciple of Blue Cloud Pavilion. It was the same anyway.
One of the Northern Guard soldiers seemed to know who Lin Yi was. He leaned close to Li Zeyu and whispered something in his ear.
Li Zeyu's expression didn't change. He nodded slightly and said, "So you're a disciple of Blue Cloud Pavilion that Shanghai Tianhua thinks highly of. So what? If you want to intercede on their behalf, even if Shanghai Tianhua is here, it's useless! Let alone a mere disciple of Blue Cloud Pavilion! "
Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "I'm not interceding. I'm just asking the young island master what the Yang Pole Grass is for."
Li Zeyu seemed to think that it wasn't bad that Lin Yi was valued by Shanghai Tianhua. He was barely able to speak in front of him. Surprisingly, he didn't get angry at Lin Yi. He only said coldly, "Of course I want the Yang Pole Grass to refine the Yin Yang Pill. Otherwise, do you think I'm going to plant it for fun?"
Lin Yi didn't mind and smiled, "Young Island Master Li, I'm a Mystic Level 1 alchemist. There's one thing you might not know. I was the one who refined the Yin Yang Pill on the ancient warship. So I want to tell you that just having the Yang Pole Grass isn't enough to refine the Yin Yang Pill!"
"So you're the one who refined the Yin Yang Pill!" Li Zeyu's complexion slightly changed, but he didn't get angry like he did with Shang Wanyi. After all, he was facing an alchemist. At the very least, he needed to show respect.
After looking deeply at Lin Yi, Li Zeyu pointed at Zheng Dongsheng and said, "I don't need you to remind me. This young master naturally knows that refining the Yin Yang Pill requires the Yin Core Fruit. This is the Hall of Medicine's Alchemist Zheng. He has the Yin Core Fruit that this young master ordered."
Lin Yi sneered in his heart. This matter was really the Zheng family's plot. The purpose was to attack him by attacking Cai Zhongyang. This method was even more infuriating than directly plotting against him!
It was no wonder that Zheng Dongsheng wanted to keep a Yin Core Fruit close to his body. Plotting against Cai Zhongyang, of course, he had to pull himself out. If there was only one Yin Core Fruit, it was estimated that the Zheng family wouldn't have thought about Cai Zhongyang's Yang Pole Grass.
Perishing together was not the result that the Zheng family wanted. Fortunately, Lin Yi had accidentally found the Yin Core Fruit on Zheng Dongsheng's body and conveniently got it. Now it came in handy.
"Young Island Master, where do you think the Yin Yang Pill and Yin Core Fruit that I refined came from? I'm not afraid to tell you that I bought it from Alchemist Zheng Dongsheng! President Cai, with the purpose of saving people, took out the Yang Pole Grass for free. Originally, he wanted to continue to search for more, but unfortunately, the north island didn't have it, so he wanted to apologize to the Young Island Master. Does this Alchemist Zheng have any intentions in this regard? " Lin Yi sneered. Zheng Dongsheng probably didn't realize that the jade box on him no longer had the Yin Core Fruit. Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing so calmly beside Li Zeyu.
Li Zeyu was slightly startled, then looked at Zheng Dongsheng with an unfriendly expression and said, "Alchemist Zheng, did you really sell this young master's Yin Core Fruit?"
Without waiting for Zheng Dongsheng to speak, Lin Yi continued, "Young Island Master, when you went to ask Zheng Dongsheng for the Yin Core Fruit, did he say that even if you had the Yin Core Fruit, it would be useless? Because the Yang Pole Grass had already been used up, and because the Young Island Master was distracted, he didn't get the Yin Core Fruit and directly brought people to find Vice President Cai?"
Although Lin Yi said it simply, it was basically very close to the truth. Li Zeyu wasn't a fool. In a flash, he knew that he had been played. This was clearly a scheme to divert the trouble to someone else, to kill with a borrowed knife!
