Beauty and the Bodyguard

During this time, there was a piece of news that caught Lin Yi's attention. It was from li Zhengming, about Meng Tong.

After the newcomer's assessment had ended, Meng jueguang had searched for many holy healing medicines in an attempt to save Meng Tong. However, none of them had been effective. In fact, some of the medicines had even had the opposite effect, almost causing Meng Tong to die on the spot.

However, just as Meng Jue was at his wits 'end and could only watch as Meng Tong died, Meng Tong, who had been tormented by endless pain that was worse than death for several days, actually managed to turn around from the edge of death by relying on his own desire to live.

By now, Meng Tong's injuries had gradually stabilized. Although he would not be able to fully recover in a short time, it was only a matter of time.

"He really is an unkillable cockroach!" Lin Yi couldn't help but frown after reading the report.

He had a bad premonition. After this incident, Meng Tong, who was originally a small character, seemed to be gradually growing into a major threat.

Just like opening Pandora's box, the meridian heart-shattering pill seemed to have created another Meng Tong, a Meng Tong that was even more difficult to deal with. Given time, this guy might grow into a powerful figure, which would be a bit difficult to deal with.

However, Lin Yi didn't have any good ideas at the moment. He could kill this threat before it sprouted. He had the strength, but he didn't have the opportunity to make a move. This made Lin Yi experience the helplessness of Meng jueguang and the others. He couldn't order li Zhengming to assassinate Meng Tong, could he?

Whether Lee Zheng Ming was willing or not, even if he really wanted to do it, it would be difficult for him to do it under Meng Jue Guang's eyes. If he revealed a slight flaw, he would be finished.

Other than this information, after training hard for a few days and stabilizing his realm, Lin Yi finally decided to go to the market.

During his one month in the back mountain, he had collected a lot of natural treasures and killed some high-level spirit beasts that had their eyes on him.

The corpses of spirit beasts were different from herbs-they needed to be processed by professionals before they could be used. Lin Yi had no use for them, so he might as well trade them in the market.

Lin Yi needed to start preparing for his next breakthrough, but he'd been searching the back mountain for an entire month and still couldn't find the heart-devouring exquisite grass.

This result made Lin Yi even more depressed, and at the same time, it made him realize that it wasn't realistic for him to search for the heart-devouring exquisite herb by himself every time. After all, there was a limit to human strength. It wasn't easy to find the heart-devouring exquisite herb in the back mountain all by himself!

So, he was prepared to go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce again. If Hong Zhong was willing to help him buy it, with his connections and influence as a Big Boss, he didn't dare say he was 100% sure, but it was still better than Lin Yi himself.

Other than that, for some reason, Southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe's investigation on Lin er had stopped for the past two months, so Lin Yi's trip to the market wasn't too risky in theory.

After making up his mind, Lin erchong, who had been silent for a long time, appeared in the streets outside the market. His goal was clear-he went straight to find Chen heihu, who specialized in the spirit beast business.

He'd only met Chen heihu once, but Lin Yi had a good impression of him.

This didn't mean that Chen heihu was a good person. In fact, anyone who could do well in a place like the market was never a good person. It was just that Chen heihu knew how to conduct himself well. He was a smart person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. He was also generous. Working with someone like this suited Lin Yi's taste better.

"Yo, brother Lin, long time no see!" They'd only met once, but Chen heihu recognized Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Yi blinked and smiled."Brother Chen heihu, how have you been?"

Chen heihu looked at the big bag of things Lin Yi was dragging behind him and nodded,"Brother Lin, you have to take care of my business again. Every time I see you, something good happens. You're really a rare honored guest, a kind guest!"

"There are some spirit beasts" corpses in this sack. Brother Chen, please give me a price. "Lin Yi didn't hesitate.

"Alright, don't worry, brother Lin. You know what kind of person I am. I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied with the price!" Chen heihu immediately called his manservant and started to get busy.

But he pulled Lin Yi aside and whispered,""Brother Lin, there's been someone looking for you at the market recently. He seems to have a strong background, so you have to be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder," Lin Yi nodded.

"Hey, what's there to thank? do you have to be grateful for just a reminder between friends? that's too polite." Chen heihu laughed heartily and then said,"Recently, there have been fewer people coming, but they still come out to patrol sometimes. Brother Lin, as long as you pay a little attention, there shouldn't be a big problem."

"Yes, I know what to do. Thank you for your concern, brother Chen." Lin Yi replied.

Although he already knew about this, he still appreciated the favor. If it was someone who was more opportunistic, they would have already secretly sent people to inform Southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe, let alone reminding him. After all, the information provided would be heavily rewarded. Who would want to go against spiritual Jade in this year and age?

Chen heihu waved his hand and said,"Oh, by the way, there's another thing. The king of junk seems to be looking for you too. I'm just informing you about this, brother Lin. In fact, it's right for you to ignore this kind of guy who only knows how to talk big but can't produce any actual results."

Lin Yi couldn't help but sweat. It had been a few months since he promised to go to the Qingyun Pavilion to find the king of junk to forge a weapon, and he'd completely forgotten about it. He felt sorry for the king of junk.

Lin Yi was indeed very busy these days-he had to take the newbie exam, and he also had to prepare for refining elixirs to increase his strength. He'd also told the king of junk that he'd be looking for him after a while, but it'd been a few months already. He'd been giving the king the cold shoulder for a while.

"This is my mistake. After a few days, I will go to the GreenCloud Pavilion to find him." Lin Yi replied.

Previously, he had obtained a 10000-year tree crystal and a 1000-year tree crystal from Half Moon Lake. He wanted to discuss with the king of junk how to maximize the value of these things and how to upgrade his steel staff. (To be continued.)
