Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Holy F * ck! Brother Lin, don't tell me you've gotten some rare ancient treasure again? my heart can't take such a huge shock!" The king of junk was shocked, but he could not help but stick his head over and take a closer look at the blood-red gravel.

After a long while, the king of junk shook his head helplessly."I don't know either. It shouldn't be used for forging, or I would have recognized it. But even so, I can tell that this is definitely a good item. Brother Lin, you can take it to the auction and get someone to appraise it. You should know then."

Lin Yi wasn't surprised-it was only natural that the king of junk couldn't recognize it, but he thought that it was some kind of forging material-it seemed like he was wrong.

After that, the two talked about forging-the king of junk's extraordinary knowledge in this area really opened Lin Yi's eyes.

And this, according to the king of junk himself, was only the result of sun sikong's casual guidance for a few days. Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The world of cultivation was indeed full of Masters, hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

"Brother Lin, I'll leave the seven materials to you. I can't help much in this area, but I can use this time to make some preparations. After all, forging a divine weapon is a big matter, and there can't be any mistakes!" Rag King cupped his hands at Lin Yi with a serious face.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble brother Wang. I'll take my leave first. Brother Wang, just wait for my news." Lin Yi said as he stood up.

It wasn't too late yet when he left the cave, and Lin Yi immediately set off for the market. His goal was naturally to go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce and ask Hong Zhong about the auction.

However, Lin Yi didn't go to the Hong Chamber of Commerce directly. He went to find Chen heihu on the way. It had been some time since he last came here, and he wanted to see if there was any news of the heart-devouring exquisite grass.

The answer he got from Chen heihu disappointed him. Chen heihu had already spread the news of buying the heart-devouring exquisite grass to all his connections, but there was still no news.

It was clear that the heart-devouring exquisite grass was indeed a rare spiritual herb. It was already a stroke of great luck to be able to find it in the periphery of the back mountain and among the spiritual herb seeds distributed by the spirit Jade Hall.

Fortunately, the East was dark, and the West was bright. There was no news from Chen heihu, and Lin Yi even asked Hong Zhong for help.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped into the Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong, who was patrolling downstairs, came up and led him to a private room on the second floor,""Young hero Lin, you asked me to help you buy heart devouring exquisite grass last time and I have already received two. I will get someone to pack them up for you."

Lin Yi was overjoyed and thanked him,"Then I really have to thank manager Hong. I wonder what the price is?"

"Hehe, 100 spiritual jade pieces for one then. What do you think, young hero Lin?" Hong Zhong smiled and stroked his beard.

Lin Yi's heart moved-he knew that the guy was doing him a favor again. If it was a normal herb, it would only cost a few pieces of jade. A hundred pieces of jade was sky-class, but the rarer something was, the more expensive it was. With how rare the heart-devouring exquisite grass was, a hundred pieces of jade for one was half-free, half-price-he probably didn't buy it at such a low price.

Lin Yi didn't rush to answer. He took out the piece of white paper and handed it to Hong Zhong,""Manager Hong, this one has come this time not only to ask for the heart-devouring exquisite grass, but also to purchase the items listed on this list. I wonder if the Chamber of Commerce has any stock?"

"Oh? Young hero Lin, please wait for a moment. I'll have someone check. " Hong Zhong gestured for Lin Yi to drink the tea before ordering the servant at the door.

A moment later, the manservant reported,"of the seven materials, the only one in our Chamber of Commerce's inventory is the mysterious water droplet. It's priced at 649 spirit Jade. We don't have the other six."

As expected! Lin Yi had expected this and didn't feel sorry for her,"In that case, can you give me the mysterious water droplet and the two stalks of heart-devouring exquisite grass for a total of 1000 spiritual jades?"

Hong Zhong laughed and waved his hand,"young hero Lin, you must be joking. I know you have good intentions. But business is business. Since I said one heart-eating exquisite grass is 100 spiritual jades, I won't charge you more. Otherwise, how can I keep my integrity as a businessman? if people find out, who would dare to do business with me?"

"Alright then, I'll use the extra spiritual Jade to buy spiritual medicine. That should be fine, right?" Lin Yi said, aware that he'd misspoken.

Lin Yi never liked to owe people favors, and since Hong Zhong wasn't willing to accept more spiritual jades, he might as well go back and make some elixirs. He'd bring a few Supreme-grade foundation-breaking elixirs for Hong Zhong next time-he'd definitely be more than happy to have them.

Hong Zhong seemed to see through Lin Yi's plan and smiled,"Then I thank young hero Lin for your care. If you are not in a hurry, I can ask someone to look out for the remaining six. Like the heart devouring exquisite grass, you might be able to find something in a while."

"Thank you, manager Hong. However, I've heard that there will be an auction next month?" Lin Yi probed.

Hong Zhong immediately understood what he meant. He nodded and said,""That's right. This auction isn't a low-level one. You should be able to find what you want in there. Do you want to take a look?"

"That's right. I'm just worried about how I can get the admission qualification. I wonder if manager Hong can help?" Lin Yi said.

Hong Zhong couldn't help but smile."Don't worry, young hero Lin. Although it's hard to get the right to the North Island Auction, ordinary people can't get in unless they're a powerful force or a hero. But fortunately, our Hong Chamber of Commerce is one of the organizers of the auction, so we naturally have the right to bring extra people in. If it's convenient for you, how about you come with me?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He'd thought it would take a lot of effort to get this qualification, but Hong Zhong solved it with one simple sentence. Connections were priceless in critical times.

"Then I'll have to thank manager Hong." Lin Yi said gratefully.

"You're too kind, young hero Lin. It's a waste to leave this spot empty anyway, so it's best if I can help you. The auction is set on the 23rd of next month, and because it's a little far from here, young hero Lin should come earlier. Also, if you're short of spiritual Jade, you can tell me. As the branch manager, I can help you with this little bit." Hong Zhong chuckled. (To be continued.)
