Beauty and the Bodyguard

Shangguan LAN 'er's birthday was coming up soon, and this was something she had told him in person before. Lin Yi was still having a headache about how to get in, but he didn't expect that this problem would be solved by his arch-enemy, Xu lingchong. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That's right. It's reasonable to say that a low-level person like you won't be able to enter such a high-level banquet in your next life. This time, I'll return you a favor on behalf of Junior Sister LAN 'er. At the same time, I'll show you the gap between you and me, so that you won't be obsessed with your fantasies and pester me." Xu lingchong said arrogantly.

With that, lingchong didn't care about Lin Yi's expression as he led Zhaoming and the others away with his head held high.

Lin Yi smiled, not thinking much of it. He thought about what these people did today-they gave him the herb seeds, and then the invitation to his birthday party. It was like they were giving him warmth after serving him to his home. He didn't understand what they were so proud of.

Meng jueguang and Meng Tong used to have this expression every time they gave him spiritual Jade. The people on Sky Class Island were really stupid!

But it wasn't surprising. Although there was no lack of schemes and intrigues in the Sky Class island's world of cultivation, it was still all about strength. It was normal that they weren't as smart as the people of the secular world.

These people were always thinking about how to train-no wonder Zhaoming was so important. This was the first time lingchong Xu had seen someone as bad as him.

After the interlude, Lin Yi went back to the cave and continued to make the breakthrough Foundation elixir. This time, he prepared a lot of spiritual herbs and materials, and he wanted to make more spiritual jades, so he made three cauldrons in one go.

It was a good thing that it was the Shennong medicine cauldron-any other cauldron would've exploded by now, but the Shennong medicine cauldron didn't have any other reaction apart from the slightly higher temperature.

Everything was normal, and after three batches, Lin Yi had a huge harvest this time. He'd made thirteen Foundation breakthrough pills in total, and every one of them was of the highest quality!

If he were to sell all 13 of these Supreme-grade foundation building breakthrough pills to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, they would be worth at least 10000 spiritual jades, even if the lowest price was 800 spiritual jades per pill. That would be more than enough to meet the needs of the auction!

On top of that, Lin Yi still had the thousand year tree crystal and the bag of blood-red gravel in his hands. He didn't need those two items for forging, but if he had to, he could still auction them off. As expected, he'd get another huge sum of money immediately.

This time, in order to gather all the materials that the king of junk had mentioned, Lin Yi could be considered to have given his all.

If it was in the past, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to sell so many high quality foundation breakthrough pills even if he didn't have enough spirit jades. After all, there were no walls that didn't let the wind out, and if people with ulterior motives heard about this, it'd be the same as the star inkstone's Secret being exposed-it'd be a big problem.

However, Lin Yi had no choice this time. According to the king of junk, if he didn't have tens of thousands of spiritual jades, even if he got the right to the auction, it would be hard to gather all the other six materials except for the mysterious water droplet. The worst thing was that if he missed the auction, it would be impossible to gather all the materials in a short time.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had a better understanding of Hong Zhong's character after so many encounters. He wasn't a short-sighted person. Even if he gave him a few more extreme-grade foundation breakthrough pills at once, it shouldn't be a big problem as long as he was careful not to be discovered by others.

The next evening, Kang Zhaoming delivered four sets of seeds as promised. Lin Yi carefully counted and confirmed that there were four heart-devouring exquisite grass seeds before he was satisfied.

He would transplant all four groups of spirit herb seeds into the space in the jade pendant. As long as he took good care of them, he would be able to harvest four stalks of heart-devouring exquisite grass in a few months. Together with the two Foundation-building golden cores he had at hand, it should be enough to support the next two breakthroughs.

Of course, this was just a boring idea. After all, he'd asked Hong Zhong and Chen heihu to help him buy them, and with these four heart-devouring exquisite grass seeds, he'd have enough heart-devouring exquisite grass for the future to a certain extent. As far as Lin Yi was concerned, he didn't necessarily have to keep the two Foundation Stage golden pills for himself.

He wouldn't need them in the short term, but he didn't have to worry about the heart-devouring exquisite grass in the long term-there was no need for him to hold onto these two peak-quality foundation-level golden cores so tightly. He'd be able to bring out their true value if he used them elsewhere.

In the following period of time, Lin Yi was able to focus on his cultivation without any distractions. Other than the occasional discussion with the king of junk about forging, there was nothing else to disturb him.

He'D train hard-no matter if it was stabilizing his mid-foundation strength, he'd have full control over every bit of energy in his body ... That was what Lin Yi was doing right now ...

Time flew by, and it was soon the eighth day of the new year. The birthday party of Shangguan LAN 'er, the first young lady of the rising Sky Pavilion, was held in the most high-end Hua Yang house.

With the invitation, Lin Yi headed to the pavilion. This was his first time entering the core area of the pavilion since he arrived on Sky Class Island, and he was doing it openly.

With the birthday party invitation in hand, Yi was naturally unimpeded. However, he would be thoroughly checked every time he passed through a floor, and the feeling of being mistaken for a thief was really speechless.

He had no choice. He was not an internal member of the rising Sky Pavilion, and it was obvious that he did not have any powerful background.

At the entrance of Huayang house, the host of the birthday party, Xu lingchong, was standing at the door with his close brother Lou Tianyou and some others. What surprised Lin Yi was that even Kang Zhaoming was among them.

Originally, with Kang Zhaoming's insignificant status, he was the same as Lin Yi. He had no right to appear at such a high-class event, let alone stand at the door with Xu lingchong and Lou Tianyou to welcome the guests.

It should be known that the people attending today's birthday banquet were either the upper echelons of the three great pavilions or powerful figures of a force. Every one of them was a real big Shot. Even if they were to welcome guests, they would at least have to be young masters with deep backgrounds. Ordinary people would not have the opportunity to show their faces in front of the big shots.

For Kang Zhaoming to be able to get into this group, it could only be said that this guy was really good at sucking up to people. Otherwise, lingchong wouldn't be helping him so much.

He shook his head. In the secular world, this fellow went from being a disciple of a family that was not even part of an aristocratic family to becoming patriarch xuanchen's son-in-law. His eloquence was really impressive. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
