Chapter 3997: The origin of the pill

Translator: 549690339

After choking for a while, Xu lingchong took a deep breath to calm herself down before saying,”Manager Ling Hua, I’m not questioning your judgment on purpose, but if these two peak-grade foundation-stage golden pills are real, and they’re worth a few thousand spirit jades, does it make sense for Lin Yi, a mere GreenCloud Pavilion newbie, to make them?”

This time, even manager Ling Hua had nothing to say.

Everyone present actually had the same doubts as Xu lingchong. However, considering that this was likely to be related to someone else’s privacy, and since it did not concern them, there was naturally no need to put on a black face and offend others.

But now that lingchong was asking, they wanted to hear Lin Yi’s explanation.

In fact, with Ling Hua as a witness, there was no doubt about the authenticity of these two Supreme-grade foundation pills. The only question Lin Yi had to face now was where he got them from.

Xu lingchong had said before that Lin Yi was a refiner like Kang Zhaoming, so there was only one question left-did Lin Yi make these two Supreme-grade foundation elixirs himself?

Even though it was said that a mere newbie of the GreenCloud Pavilion was able to make a Supreme-grade foundation Stage golden pill, this was something that was almost impossible to believe. But after all, there was Zhang Liju’s precedent. No matter how small the possibility was, it still existed.

Moreover, the possibility of a newbie of the GreenCloud Pavilion producing two Supreme-grade foundation Stage golden cores was almost negligible. Now that the truth was before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it.

“Lin Yi, aren’t you going to explain it to us? if you can’t give us a good reason, we’ll suspect that you stole it and gave it to LAN ‘er as a birthday present. This isn’t something to joke about. I don’t think I need to explain the consequences, right?” Xu lingchong thought that he’d found Lin Yi’s weak point and laughed coldly.

Under everyone’s gazes, Lin Yi paused and started hesitating.

According to Lin Yi’s original plan, he didn’t want people to know that he could make a Supreme-grade foundation-level golden elixir. After all, an innocent man would be punished for keeping a treasure. If this news were to spread, it would cause a huge wave, and it could lead to unpredictable consequences!

With his current insignificant strength, it was very likely that he would be directly captured by some people with ulterior motives and used as a pill refining machine. This was also the reason why he had never had any interactions with the pill Hall all this while! He was too weak. If he was in the Golden core stage, he wouldn’t be in such a state!

Therefore, he deliberately gave the gift to Shangguan LAN ‘er in private today in order to avoid people’s eyes and ears, and to prevent people from spreading it.

The reason why he chose to give Shangguan LAN ‘er a Supreme-grade foundation-building golden elixir was purely out of good intentions. After all, with a woman like Murong Zhen eyeing her covetously, even if Shangguan LAN’ er was the eldest lady, it was safer for her to improve her strength as soon as possible.

For someone like Shangguan LAN ‘er, who did not like cultivation, a Foundation-building golden elixir, which had no side effects, was the best gift.

Besides, with the heart-devouring exquisite gra.s.s already secured, Lin Yi didn’t have to worry about not having a Foundation-stage golden elixir to use for the time being, so giving these two to Shangguan LAN ‘er wasn’t inappropriate.

He didn’t think that these two Foundation Stage golden cores would be exposed in public. This really caught him off guard-he wouldn’t have given them away if he’d known.

However, things had already developed to this point, and it was too late to regret it.

There were two answers-either he made it himself or he got it from other sources. There were pros and cons to each answer. This was a matter of life and death, and Lin Yi had to think it over before answering.

If he directly admitted that he had refined it himself, then the risk could be said to be extremely high. Taking a step back, even if he was not captured and used as a pill refining machine, he would definitely be envied even more by Xu lingchong, and there would only be more trouble in the future! Although the spiritual flower could take care of him, there would always be times when it couldn ‘t.

If he were to say that these two Supreme-grade foundation Stage golden cores were not personally refined by him, although at first glance, he would indeed be able to avoid the risk of becoming the target of public criticism, but with his ident.i.ty as a newcomer of the GreenCloud Pavilion, it was not easy to fabricate a legitimate reason in a short time.

Everyone here was experienced and knowledgeable, and no matter how hard Lin Yi racked his brain, as long as it was a lie he made up on the spot, the chance of it being exposed was at least 90%, no lower than this.

This risk was too great. Once his lie was exposed in public, he would be in a completely pa.s.sive situation. At that time, Xu lingchong would take the opportunity to fan the flames and suspect that his two Supreme-grade foundation establishment golden pills were of dubious origin. That would be really troublesome.

Gongyang Jie, the head of the law enforcement Hall, might even use soul-searching on Lin Yi himself!

It was difficult to advance, and it was difficult to retreat. Both choices were extremely risky, and Lin Yi felt like he was being burned at the stake.

In the end, Lin Yi gritted his teeth and decided to admit that he made it himself. It would be dangerous, but it was better than the second outcome. He’d become a superstar, and as long as he was careful, he’d have a chance of survival.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to lay his cards on the table, Hong Zhong, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly spoke,””Everyone, this old man can be a witness to the origin of Lin shaoxia’s two Supreme-grade foundation Stage golden elixirs. Because, these two elixirs came from the Hong Chamber of Commerce,”

The words caused an uproar, and even Lin Yi himself was taken aback. He didn’t show it on his face, though, and quickly hid it deep in his heart.

Lin Yi didn’t think that Hong Zhong would step out and help him without any prior communication. The risk he had to bear was not a small one.

One had to know that this was Lin Yi’s real face-Hong Zhong shouldn’t have even seen him before. Even if he were to suspect that Lin Yi was the Lin er he’d dated several times, it would only be a suspicion at most, not a hundred percent confirmation.

Hong Zhong stood up for Lin Yi without confirming his ident.i.ty-this was a huge contrast to his usual steady and experienced style, but it was also this that showed his unique and powerful side!

If one only knew how to be steady, one could become a great Butler, but they would never become a great merchant. Rare goods could be obtained, and once the opportunity was seized, one had to place a heavy bet. This was the nature of a merchant.
