Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Young hero Lin, you have to be careful. That place is filled with people from all walks of life and they don't have all sorts of restrictions like the three pavillions. It is common for people to start killing. Even if you are strong, you have to be careful." Hong Zhong warned.

"Elder Hong, don't worry. I understand." Lin Yi nodded. He had to go this time in order to get the life phase mushrooms as soon as possible. If he delayed it for too long, only the heavens knew if he would fail this time!

Lin Yi also felt that his days in the welcome Pavilion had been too comfortable. After Xu lingchong's disappearance, the remaining people like Kang Zhaoming and Meng Tong weren't his opponents at all. They weren't challenging at all, and this kind of environment wasn't good for training.

Even if it was to increase his strength, Lin Yi had to go out and train, and find opportunities to improve.

This time, it wasn't just for the life phase mushrooms-Lin Yi had another, more important goal, and that was to find the opportunity to break through to Foundation peak-he needed to be prepared to break through to golden core as soon as possible!

Actually, the only thing I'm a little worried about now is how I should explain it to the welcoming new pavilion." Lin Yi said with a frown.

This time, he would be away for a long time. If he did not have a good reason, the welcome Pavilion would be in trouble. After all, he was the West Island's reception Deacon in name. It would be a dereliction of duty if he left ning Xuefei and went on a mission.

"It's fine, Little Junior Brother, just go ahead. Feifei and I can help you settle it. Just say that you went to buy things for us, hehe. " Shangguan LAN 'er laughed.

Buy something? What kind of weird reason was this? Lin Yi nodded with a bitter smile. Since Shangguan LAN 'er had already said so, no one else would be able to refute her even if they wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Elder Hong, do you know where I can find the life phase mushrooms?" Lin Yi asked.

"Hucai tianwu mountain. This is the place with the highest chance of finding life mushrooms. They usually grow in cold and damp places with no light. So, when you get there, you can try your luck at a few streams. You should find something." Hong Zhong suggested after combining all the information he had.

"Calling for the sky Noon Mountain, I remember it. But where is the mountain roughly located?" Lin Yi asked.

"Hehe, this mountain is also considered a famous mountain. Its reputation is no less than the mountain behind the three pavilions. Its location is between the North and Middle islands!" Hong Zhong said with a smile.

"Ha? Between the North and Middle islands? Could it be that the two islands are connected?" Lin Yi said, shocked.

"That's right. Young hero Lin, you don't think that the North and Middle islands are separated by the sea, do you?" Hong Zhong asked curiously.

"Yeah ..." Lin Yi scratched his head awkwardly. He'd been hearing people talk about the five Sky Class islands ever since he came to Sky Class Island, and it was hard to go back and forth between the North and Middle islands. Naturally, he'd assumed that the five Sky Class islands were separated.

Hong Zhong couldn't help but smile and said,"Actually, you're not wrong to understand it that way, young hero Lin. Although there are long and narrow mountains connecting the North and Middle islands, just like the back mountains of the three pavilions, there are all kinds of powerful spirit beasts entrenched in these mountains. Moreover, they are often affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes on the sea. The degree of danger is higher than the depths of the back mountains, so even powerful cultivators rarely walk through them. They usually use flying spirit beasts or treasured ships to travel between the two islands."

"A treasure ship?" Lin Yi blinked-this was new stuff he'd never heard of before.

"There are sea beasts running amok in the sea, and with the threat of natural disasters, it's even more dangerous than the land route. No matter how good the seafaring skills are, it's impossible for ordinary ships to go back and forth between the two islands. Only treasured ships can do it." Hong Zhong paused for a moment and explained,"the treasured ship was built by the combined efforts of ancient blacksmiths. Not only is the body of the ship far stronger and more reliable than ordinary ships, but it also has a powerful formation on it that can withstand super-strong attacks and natural disasters. Moreover, it has a confusing effect on most sea beasts. Even if you fly over their heads, you won't be discovered."

"That's really a work of art. " Lin Yi was surprised.

"It's a pity that blacksmithing has been in decline for many years. Even ordinary blacksmiths are rare, let alone Grandmaster blacksmiths. The ancient skill of forging treasure ships has long been lost, and the destruction of a treasure ship is one less. It has now become a symbol of the strength of each Chamber of Commerce. The more powerful the Chamber of Commerce is, the more treasure ships they have." Hong Zhong sighed.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder. Even if treasure ships were rare, it shouldn't be directly related to the strength of the Chamber of Commerce. Every Chamber of Commerce had their own strengths, just like the five elements Chamber of Commerce under the pill Hall of the central island. They only dealt in the pill business and didn't dabble in other businesses, but they were still recognized as the number one Chamber of Commerce.

"Lin shaoxia, you don't know this, but when transporting goods between sky-class islands, they usually use the water route, and that's with the treasure ships. So, the treasure ships determine the most important transportation ability of the Chamber of Commerce-it's the lifeline of the big Chambers of Commerce!" "The other routes are not impossible, but the flying spirit beasts carry too little goods each time. Their transportation capacity is on a completely different level from that of the treasured ship," Hong Zhong said seriously.

"I see." Lin Yi said.

"As for the mountain range, it's not impossible to travel there, but there are too many uncertain factors. The risk is too high and it's hard to control. Besides, the mountain road is rugged. Unless you travel there often or have some special needs, the price is too high. Generally, no one is willing to try it." Hong Zhong said.

"That's true. A large Chamber of Commerce prioritizes stability and reliability. The risk of traveling on land is so high. If we place our hopes on this, we'll be ruining our own reputation if any accidents happen and the supply of goods is cut off." Lin Yi nodded.

The last time the Hong Chamber of Commerce was targeted by the other Chambers of Commerce, it was actually because of the cut in supply of goods. At the level of the top Chamber of Commerce, advancing and retreating depended on the market's reputation. If they were not careful, they might lose the whole game.

"That's the logic. With your understanding and insight, it's a loss if you don't do business!" Hong Zhong chuckled and said,"I brought this up because I wanted to tell you that I also have friends in Nakagama. If you accidentally go to Nakagama, you can look for assistant manager Cai of the five elements Chamber of Commerce under the Nakagama pill Hall."

"Eh? Weren't the Hong Chamber of Commerce and the five elements Chamber of Commerce competitors? Elder Hong, do you have a relationship with this person?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.
