Beauty and the Bodyguard

The bigger the shop, the better the stuff there was. Lin Yi didn't want to miss out on-rare big shop like this-he followed the crowd and walked in.

After entering the shop, Lin Yi quickly noticed the difference between this Hong Chamber of Commerce shop and the other shops on the inner street. The decoration was more majestic, but the key was that there were more people wearing the iconic uniforms of the elite disciples of the three pavilions than the other shops. In other words, even if today was not the opening day of the inner street, the business of this Hong Chamber of Commerce would definitely be much more popular than other shops. It could be seen that there must be something extraordinary about it.

"The gall of a Northern Sea Dragonfish, priced at five hundred and eighty-eight spirit Jade."

"Mysterious water droplet, priced at 649 spirit Jade."

"Ground snake skin, priced at three hundred and twenty spiritual jade pieces."

Lin Yi's eyes were opened just by looking at one row of displays.

These were things that Lin Yi had never heard of in the common world!

Although these things didn't have specific uses, just by looking at the appearance, one could tell that they were not ordinary items!

Lin Yi also realized that in this Chamber of Commerce, there wasn't a single item that was priced below a hundred spiritual jades. Not to mention the outer and middle streets, even the other shops in the inner streets paled in comparison to this. They were almost not on the same level. No wonder it could attract so many elite disciples from the three pavilions.

The layout of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's shops was divided into three floors in the shape of a pyramid. The higher the floor, the smaller the attic space, and the fewer exhibits there were. Of course, the price of each exhibit was much higher, and several of them were already priced at thousands of spiritual Jade. It was common sense that the exhibits on the second floor were always better than those on the first floor.

Lin Yi took a quick look around the second floor, not planning on stopping for too long. After all, he didn't have much money left, and it'd be a waste to look around.

As for the third floor, Lin Yi wanted to go up and broaden his horizons, but was stopped by the people from the Hong Chamber of Commerce. The third floor was the VIP area of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, and only guests who had spent more than a thousand spirit Jade were allowed to enter.

The inner street was already a VIP existence in the market square, and this Hong Chamber of Commerce was one of the top shops in the inner street. Then wouldn't this restricted third floor be the fighter among the VIP?

Lin Yi guessed that whoever was able to enter this place was probably a Big Shot in the entire Sky Class Island!

He was curious as to what was on the third floor, but he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity since the rules were set.

But at this moment, his heart skipped a beat as if he'd missed something important. Just as Lin Yi was confused, the voice of the ghost sounded in his mind, "Don't leave yet. Go to the corner of the display rack on the right and take a look."

Lin Yi blinked. The thing had been in the Jade space for a while now, but it rarely spoke unless it was something important. Did it find some treasure?

With doubts in his heart, Lin Yi followed the ghostly thing's instructions and walked to the corner of the display shelf.

There weren't many eye-catching items here, and there were clearly fewer people here compared to other places. There was only one person standing next to Lin Yi, and he was probably an inner sect disciple.

"Senior ghost, you mean this place?" Lin Yi used his consciousness to communicate with the thing.

"That's right, this star inkstone is a good thing. Think of a way to get it. " The ghostly thing said.

"Star inkstone?" Lin Yi looked left and right-there were only two or three items here, and he quickly found what the damn thing was talking about ... Star inkstones, but they didn't have a label, only the price!

It was placed in the corner of the display cabinet. From its shape, it looked like a black stone the size of a fist. From the outside, it looked completely ordinary, but its price was quite shocking: 1000 spiritual jades.

Compared to the other expensive items, this star inkstone that was priced at 1000 was not only unsightly in appearance, but it was also completely useless. In the eyes of others, it was simply a scam, which led to no one stopping here.

However, Lin Yi knew that this star inkstone wasn't simple. The moment he saw it, he felt the same throbbing in his heart again. It was as if he was telepathically connected to it. This ordinary-looking stone was attracting him.

Could it be that this was a treasure that had been neglected by others? Lin Yi didn't know what was going on and asked the ghost,"Senior ghost, what's the use of this star inkstone?"

"It's no use telling you now. You should think of a way to get it first. " "I'll go with you,"the ghostly thing said and left Lin Yi alone, staring at the black stone in confusion.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly. She didn't even tell him what use it had, and he just got this stone for no reason. One thousand spiritual jades? it wasn't that easy to get!

Fortunately, he had the Jade space, a cheating artifact. If it were anyone else, they would have been so scared that their legs would have gone soft after hearing the price!

But he knew that he'd regret it in the future if he missed this star inkstone! Even if the ghostly thing didn't say anything, he couldn't let go of that strange telepathy just now!

Lin Yi observed the star inkstone in silence. He noticed that this inner sect disciple beside him seemed to be interested in the star inkstone as well. His eyes were burning with passion, and he seemed to want to buy it on the spot. However, his expression was conflicted. It seemed like he didn't have that many spirit jades on hand.

Even for the inner disciples of the three pavilions, a thousand spiritual jades was a huge sum of money. It was impossible for ordinary disciples to have so many spiritual jades. Unless it was a young master with a deep background like Xu lingchong, or a high-level manager who held great power within the three pavilions, it was impossible for them to have it.

Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief-it was a good thing the star inkstone was priced so high, or this guy would've gotten it already.

But even if this person couldn't gather that many spirit Jade in such a short time, he didn't look like a normal disciple-he gave off the feeling that he was much stronger than someone like Meng jueguang. Who knew when he'd be able to gather a thousand spirit Jade? if he wanted to get the star inkstone, he had to get it before the other party did, and so Lin Yi felt a considerable pressure.

Lin Yi only had around fifty pieces of spiritual Jade on hand right now. With his current rate of mining and hiding two pieces a day, it would take him at least a year to get a thousand pieces of spiritual Jade-that was obviously unrealistic! (To be continued.)
