Beauty and the Bodyguard

These domineering words stunned Hong Zhong for a long time, even though he was used to seeing all kinds of things. After a long time, he said,""Lin shaoxia, there are less than three days left. Are you sure you can make a large number of pills, and the quality must be the best?"

Hong Zhong couldn't be blamed for being puzzled. Anyone with a little common sense would be puzzled. As everyone knew, alchemy was an extremely time-consuming and laborious thing. An Alchemist with a lower level was likely to not even be able to refine a single pill in three days.

As for supreme quality pills, unless it was a pill God like Zhang Liju, even a slightly lower level pill master couldn't guarantee it.

After so many encounters, Hong Zhong was 100% sure that Lin Yi could make Supreme-grade elixirs, but it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that Lin Yi could mass-produce them in three days.

"I'll try it as a last resort. There's no other way at the moment anyway. Why don't we give it a try?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Since Lin Yi had said so, Hong Zhong had no other choice but to nod,"Then I'll have to trouble young hero Lin. I'll reward you heavily after this. I'll go and prepare now."

Hong Zhong started preparing the ingredients, while Lin Yi got a guest room and closed his eyes.

This time, the reason why he offered to help was actually after careful consideration. Firstly, he could return the many favors Hong Zhong had done before and deepen their friendship. Secondly, after he showed his great value in person, their future cooperation would be more smooth.

An hour later, Hong Zhong brought a few sacks of various spirit herbs with him. In order to save time, he had bought them from steward song. These spirit herbs were not important materials here at all and could be bought with spiritual Jade.

The elixirs that could be made from these ingredients were the same as the foundation breakthrough elixir-they were all elixirs that Foundation Stage practitioners often used. If Lin Yi could make a Foundation Stage golden elixir, then he could naturally make these elixirs too.

He even gave Lin Yi a couple of recipes as a form of benefit in advance. After all, to an Alchemist, every recipe was an extremely precious treasure.

After sorting out the ingredients, Lin Yi asked Hong Zhong to borrow a refinement room and started refining in seclusion. Time was limited, and it was time for the godly pesticide cauldron to show its power.

Lin Yi had never come into contact with these elixirs before. After all, there weren't even any Foundation Stage Masters in the common world, let alone elixirs. However, this didn't stop him from making elixirs.

Even if he'd never seen a pill before, the path of alchemy was the same-the theory was the same, after all. Lin Yi had Liju's notes in his hands, and it'd be useful even if he used them as reference for foundation level pills.

One thing worth mentioning was that Lin Yi had gotten quite a bit of inspiration when he was studying the notes-it wasn't about making elixirs, but it was a killer move that could completely overpower the Super energy bomb, although he was still in the exploration stage and hadn't fully mastered it yet.

Other than Liju's notes, the Shennong medicine cauldron had also become a God-tier semi-auto alchemy tool under Jingjing's genius modification. This so-called "semi-auto" only required Lin Yi to input his Qi manually, and the rest was all done by the Shennong medicine cauldron itself. Even if it was a pill that it had never come into contact with before, it was nothing.

As long as he inserted the recipe, the Shennong medicine cauldron would automatically analyze the pill's refining curve. The rest was simple. He just had to follow the instructions of the Shennong medicine cauldron and put in the corresponding materials. Then, he carefully inserted his vital energy and waited for the pill to come out of the furnace.

Two hours later, the first batch of elixirs was completed, and the results were just as Lin Yi expected. As an experiment, he put in five sets of ingredients at once, and this time three elixirs were successfully completed, while the other two were wasted.

To have a success rate of 60% on the first try was already very exaggerated for any Alchemist. And Shennong's medicine cauldron's following performance truly displayed its legendary ability.

For the same elixir, the success rate of the second batch was close to 80%, and from the third batch onwards, the success rate had stabilized above 90%, and even close to 100%.

Every time it concocted a pill, the Shennong cauldron would automatically adjust its pill refining trajectory. Step by step, it would raise its already astonishing rate of success to an unparalleled level. In the first two cauldrons, there were even some wasted pills. However, after that, there were almost no more wasted pills. This was the truly impressive part of the Shennong cauldron!

For two whole days, Lin Yi didn't leave the house at all, focusing on refining elixirs. Hong Zhong didn't know how Lin Yi was progressing, but even if Lin Yi couldn't make enough supreme quality elixirs, his gratitude to Lin Yi didn't decrease at all.

The only two boxes of auction items were dropped midway, and the branches in Nakajima and the other three islands were in a shortage of resources at the same time. The sudden four-Island Auction exhibition had pushed Hong Zhong to the forefront of the storm.

If this development continued, the Hong Chamber of Commerce was bound to end up with a disheveled face. Not to mention what more dangerous and fatal actions those people would take in the future, at least for Hong Zhong, his career as a sole shopkeeper could only end here.

In order to intimidate the people and to give an explanation to everyone, the Hong Chamber of Commerce would definitely push him out as a scapegoat for this matter. They would blame him for the root of this failure. This was a logical thing and no one could change it.

And so, forced by the circumstances, the all-powerful Hong Zhong was left with only one life-saving straw-Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi succeeded, he could still escape. If not, he would have to leave it to fate.

In fact, in the two days that Lin Yi had been focusing on his refinement, Hong Zhong and the other potential opponents didn't just sit around either. They all gathered together and went to find steward song.

"The auction is tomorrow. If Hong Zhong still has a way to mobilize resources from other places, he should be able to arrive today. Although the possibility of this is not high, we have to be careful." The first person to speak among the crowd was Hong Zhong's old acquaintance, manager Tong.

"Manager Tong, aren't you being a little too careful? under the control of our anti-Hong Alliance, the reserves of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's central island headquarters and the four-Island branches have all been used up. In addition, he did something to them halfway through and even his two remaining boxes of supplies fell into the sea to feed the fish. Do you think he's a God? hahaha!" A short-haired young man with yellow hair laughed wildly. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
