Beauty and the Bodyguard

4079 Cultivators 'Guild

"Cheers!" Shangguan LAN 'er and ning Xuefei replied happily, and Lin Yi raised his glass as well, putting Hong Zhong's matter to the back of his mind.

Hong Zhong was an ally tied to him-the better he was doing, the more help he'd be in the future. But for now, even Hong Zhong himself didn't know how to get out of this predicament. Lin Yi was just an honorary Vice President, half an outsider in the Chamber of Commerce. He couldn't be of much help at the moment, but there was still time.

But Hong Zhong's return wasn't a bad thing for Lin Yi. He was a reliable ally, and it would be much easier for him to get rare treasures from the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

"Elder Hong, I need a spiritual medicine called the vitality mushroom. I've ordered it here before, do you have any news?" Lin Yi asked after the meal.

"Young hero Lin, I'll get someone to investigate." A moment later, Hong Zhong shook his head and said,""There's no news at the moment. I've used the life-form mushroom before, so I know a little about it. Not only are they rare, but they also wither quickly after being picked, so very few cultivators would specifically pick them. Even if they ordered them in advance, it's difficult to get them in stock in a short time."

"I see, then we can only wait." Lin Yi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Don't worry, young hero Lin. I'll get someone to increase the reward. I don't think you'll have to wait too long." Hong Zhong smiled and consoled him,"those who took the mission to collect spiritual herbs have been gone for many days. It's normal to not have any news for a while. Although few people would make this trip specifically for the life phase mushrooms, it's a waste of energy and capital, and they can't sell them at a high price. However, there will always be brave men with great rewards. As long as I raise the reward price, someone will be tempted. At least when they go to collect herbs, they will pay more attention to the life phase mushrooms, and the probability of finding them will be higher."

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat."Where are the people elder Hong mentioned gathering herbs? could they be in the back mountain of the three pavilions? can I go there personally?"

Lin Yi didn't know how long the king of junk could drag this out, but it was better to get the materials as soon as possible. It was better to rely on himself than others-this was Lin Yi's style.

"Oh ... I've forgotten. Lin shaoxia, although you're still a new disciple of the welcoming new pavilion, you're already stronger than most of the disciples of the three great pavilions." Hong Zhong was stunned for a moment before he reacted and explained,""The herb-picking location isn't in the back mountain. It's the private territory of the three pavilions. Only the disciples of the three pavilions with permission can enter. It's usually not open to the public. Also, many rare spiritual herbs and resources will be handed over to the three pavilions even if they are found. They're not allowed to be leaked out."

Lin Yi thought about it and realized that it made sense-it was like the newbie test, where all the herbs they collected had to be handed over to the back of the mountain. They weren't allowed to take them out on their own.

"If it's not the back mountain, where is it?" Lin Yi continued.

"Although the back mountain is rich in resources, it is not the only place on the North Island where you can collect spiritual herbs. You can go to other places too. However, if you want to go personally, you will need to go to the North Island cultivators Association and sign up for it." Hong Zhong suggested.

"The North Island cultivators Association?" This was the first time Lin Yi had heard of this name after half a year on Sky Class Island.

Hong Zhong nodded and said,"that's right. In theory, this is a guild organization that covers all the cultivators on the North Island. With the three pavilions as the leader, other forces and grassroots individual cultivators will also register and gather at the North Island cultivators Guild. Every day, it will issue all kinds of bounty trial missions. Only cultivators who have registered with it can receive the missions and the rewards."

"Oh? Does that mean I can go too?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

"Of course, the disciples of the three pavilions are the mainstream group there. I'm sure you've heard about it, young hero Lin. After one year, the new members of the welcome Pavilion will enter the three pavilions and become official outer disciples! Unless you become a core disciple of the Aurous core stage, or take on a master under the three Pavilion elders or other higher-ups, the resources for cultivation are still very limited. If you want to improve quickly, you have to rely on yourself and keep doing trial missions to get rewards. " Hong Zhong explained in detail.

"But I heard that the three pavilions also issue missions?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

"That's right. However, the missions issued by the three pavilions are usually high-risk and high-reward missions. Although they are specially prepared for the disciples of the three pavilions, ordinary outer sect disciples can't do it without enough strength. In comparison, the reward missions issued by the North Island cultivators Association every day are much less difficult. Most of the outer sect disciples of the three pavilions gain experience and at the same time, it's a shortcut to earn spiritual jades, like the heart-devouring exquisite grass you asked me to buy before. I got it from the bounty mission there. " Hong Zhong revealed.

Lin Yi's heart was moved,"Elder Hong, are there any requirements to register at the cultivators Association?"

"There's no threshold. As long as your strength is above the foundation building stage, you'll be fine. Your welcoming new pavilion usually doesn't encourage newcomers to take trial missions there, so I didn't tell you at all. But with your strength, it's a different story." Hong Zhong said with a faint smile.

"Alright, I'll try." Lin Yi decided.

Before he could finish, Shangguan LAN 'er and ning Xuefei suddenly said in unison,""That's great, we want to go together!"

Lin Yi's face darkened, but before he could object, Hong Zhong spoke for him,"No, that place is extremely dangerous. If the two of you go, not only will you not be able to help Lin shaoxia, but you will also cause trouble. It has only been a few days. Have you forgotten about si tsunami?"

"Grandpa Hong, we might not meet that old bastard ..." Shangguan LAN 'er said weakly.

Hong Zhong shook his head helplessly."What I mean is that there are more than one or two scumbags like him in the world of cultivation. Beautiful female cultivators like you two will be the focus of attention no matter where you go. It's easy to cause trouble. Moreover, the location of the trial is completely out of the control of the three pavilions and the West Island. If anything happens, it'll be too late to save you."

"Alright then. I guess Little Junior Brother can only go alone." Shangguan LAN 'er and ning Xuefei stuck out their tongues. They were heartless, but they knew what was good for them. If going would only cause trouble for Lin Yi, they might as well not go. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
