Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Right, that makes sense. What do you mean, elder Hong?" Lin Yi quickly asked.

"I think there are two possible problems. Either the technology is not mature yet, or this business is too sensitive and damages the core interests of some people, so it can only be stopped midway. I can't think of any other reason to stop this exclusive monopoly." Hong Zhong speculated.

Monopoly, this was the dream of almost all businessmen. For this, there were many people who would not hesitate to kill. Which Chamber of Commerce would give up their own monopoly?

Lin Yi nodded, deep in thought. This central Chamber of Commerce that suddenly rose up was too mysterious, especially the huge shadow behind it. Just thinking about it made one shiver. Capturing a large number of golden core stage Masters for human experiments, how terrifying was this organization!

The two fell silent for a while, and Lin Yi changed the topic,"By the way, elder Hong, have you been to Nakajima recently?"

"Yes, I've been there just last month. I even went to find Cai Zhongyang and hou guanqi to ask them to bring me to the heavenly elixir Pavilion. Business is really good!" Hong Zhong said as he looked at Lin Yi. With their relationship, Lin Yi wouldn't hide anything about the heavenly elixir Pavilion from him. After all, Lin Yi was a true ally who could be considered as one of his own. Not to mention, he had asked Hong Zhong to help him deliver the elixirs to the heavenly elixir Pavilion.

"How are they?" Lin Yi quickly asked.

"They? Are you talking about Cai Zhongyang and hou guanqi? Of course, they're still the same. They can't change their lukewarm personalities in their lives. " Hong Zhong deliberately laughed.

"Uh, elder Hong, don't keep me in suspense. You know I'm not talking about them, but them." Lin Yi rubbed his hands together, stunned.

"Hehe, it's true that a hero can't overcome a beauty. Cai Zhongyang and hou guanqi even asked me to bring you the news, but you didn't care at all. You only cared about your two confidants. If they knew about this, their expressions would be very interesting!" Hong Zhong said with a rare mischievous smile.

"Bring me a message? What's the news?" Lin Yi blinked.

"They told me to tell you that master Zhang Liju hasn't been back for the past two years. If he comes back, you'll be the first to know." Hong Zhong conveyed.

"Oh, I know. It's rare that they keep thinking about this. I'll have to thank them when I go to Nakajima next time." Lin Yi nodded, not too disappointed. Liju's whereabouts were always a mystery, but as long as he waited patiently, they'd meet one day.

"As for your two female friends, I don't need to say much. You should read the letter yourself." Hong Zhong chuckled and took out a letter from his sleeve. It was obviously Tian Gang and Xue Li who had dragged him to bring it.

"A letter?" Lin Yi quickly took it and couldn't help but ask,"Then why didn't you give it to me together just now?"

"I wanted to give it to you together, but who knew that you couldn't wait to read the other letter before you snatched it. I was too embarrassed to disturb you. Besides, the letter looks more important and suspicious. I'm afraid you'll get confused if I give it to you together." Hong Zhong spread out his hands.

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi opened the envelope-it wasn't as stuffed as the previous one, and there were only two thin sheets of paper. It seemed to be Tianjie's handwriting.

"Everything's fine "was the first sentence of the letter, which was within Lin Yi's expectations. After all, there was Tianxing, the powerful Vice-Master of Nakajima, as well as Cai Zhongyang and hou guanqi. Anyone who dared to mess with them wouldn't be able to survive the next day.

Other things aside, at least the name of Tian Xing was very popular in Nakajima. He was a legendary figure like Zhang Liju, and his strength couldn't be measured with common sense. He could easily kill a xuansheng stage master when he was only in the original infant stage. Who would dare to mess with such a freakish existence?

Other than that, Tian Gang also talked about the recent situation of the heavenly elixir Pavilion. Before Lin Yi went to the South continent, their business was booming because Lin Yi would regularly send elixirs over. But after Lin Yi went to the South continent, this supply was cut off. The entire heavenly elixir Pavilion's elixir supply could only be supported by Tian Gang alone, and their business was on the decline.

This was something that couldn't be helped. Although Tian Ji could also refine pills, and the quality was pretty good, it was still incomparable to Lin Yi who had Shennong's medicine cauldron. She was able to support the entire heavenly pill Pavilion by herself, and this was a miracle in itself.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw this. He should've stored more elixirs before going to the South continent. In fact, he had already done that, but he only provided half a year's supply. He didn't think that he would be trapped in the South continent for so long. It wasn't just Lin Yi who was unlucky, but also tianshuo and the others. How could he bear it?

However, what surprised Lin Yi was that the heavenly elixir Pavilion's business didn't drop as much as he thought it would. Their daily turnover was still around 60000 spirit Jade. This was an unexpected result. Even though it had dropped a lot from its peak, it was still very exaggerated.

After reading the letter, Lin Yi realized that there were two key reasons why the heavenly elixir Pavilion's daily turnover was able to maintain at sixty thousand spiritual jades.

One was due to Tian Gang and Xue Li's good management. After Lin Yi's supply was cut off, Tian Gang's hard work ensured the supply of pills for the heavenly pill Pavilion. Xue Li, on the other hand, had formulated a price increase strategy according to the decreasing supply of Supreme grade pills.

The rarer something was, the more expensive it would be. It was normal to raise the price of Supreme-grade pills, no matter where they were placed. It was abnormal for them to sell them as common goods like the heavenly pill Pavilion. Moreover, Xue Li's strategy was not just to raise the price, but to limit the number of pills she could sell per day according to the last stock available.

Selling only three Supreme-grade elixirs a day was a new gimmick that could attract people, and to a large extent, it helped the heavenly elixir Pavilion retain its popularity.

However, with this alone, they could at most guarantee that the heavenly pill Pavilion would not die. It was still unrealistic to maintain a daily income of 60000. Therefore, there was a second reason, and that was Wei shenjin's care.

Ever since Wei shenjin joined Lin Yi, he'd come to the heavenly elixir Pavilion every two or three days-this was exactly what the snow sword sect higher-ups wanted!
