Chapter 4010: The situation is abnormal

Thirteen pills wasn’t a lot. Although a Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pill was rare, it wasn’t something to be surprised about. However, when these two conditions were stacked together, it could be seen that it was extremely rare.

Hong Zhong had been the manager of the North Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades, but he had never seen anything like this.

“Hehe, I’m just preparing for the auction. If I don’t have enough spiritual Jade on hand, it’ll be a waste even if I go to the auction today.” Lin Yi smiled faintly.

“That’s right. Although there are many good things in an auction, the price is also high. If you don’t prepare enough capital, it will be a pity if you miss the treasure in the end. ” Hong Zhong nodded in agreement. After a moment of silence, he said,””Swordsman Lin, I’ll accept these thirteen Supreme-grade foundation breakthrough pills for fifteen thousand spiritual jade pieces. What do you think?”

Fifteen thousand spiritual jades! Lin Yi was a little taken aback. He took in a cold breath.”Manager Hong, your price is too high. I can’t afford to be taken care of by you every time.”

The last time he had come to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to sell the extreme grade foundation-breaking pill, he had wanted to compete with Yu Zhe for the star inkstone. At that time, the price of a single extreme grade foundation-breaking pill was only 800 spirit Jade.

800 spiritual Jade for one pill. According to this price, 13 Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pills would only be worth slightly more than 10000 spiritual jade pieces. That was nearly 5000 spiritual jade pieces less than the price that Hong Zhong had offered!

Giving Lin Yi an extra five thousand spiritual jades at once was a big deal, even for someone like Hong Zhong. He was very kind to Lin Yi.

Hong Zhong laughed and waved his hand.”Young hero Lin, you’re actually thinking too much. The purchase price of a Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pill is usually one thousand spiritual jades or even higher. The reason why we only gave you eight hundred spiritual jades last time was because you’re a newbie who’s dealing with us for the first time. It’s the usual killing routine of businessmen, so we’ll definitely lower your price.”

“But even if it’s 1000 spiritual jades per pill, that would only cost 13000 spiritual jades?” Lin Yi said, shaking his head.

“That’s right. However, when it comes to transactions, other than the usual price as a reference, the final price still depends on the market. Right now, the market is good. Giving you 15000 is really not much at all.” Hong Zhong said with a smile.

Lin Yi couldn’t reject the man’s insistence and shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt.”Shopkeeper Hong, this is the first time I’ve met a merchant like you, who keeps giving discounts to customers and at the same time trying to find a good excuse. If all the merchants in the world are like you, I’m afraid they’ll all go bankrupt.”

Hong Zhong laughed loudly as he paid for Lin Yi with his spiritual Jade card,”Lin shaoxia, I wasn’t lying just now. The auction we’re going to today is usually jointly supplied by various Chambers of Commerce, and the North Island branch under me happens to be in short supply of high-quality auction items. So, Lin shaoxia, your thirteen Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pills can be considered as timely help. This price is absolutely fair and reasonable.”

“Since I can help manager Hong, that would be great.” “By the way, where’s the auction?” Lin Yi asked with a nod.

Hong Zhong did tell Lin Yi that the auction wasn’t in the inner street of the market, and he even told him to come earlier, which meant that it wasn’t close. Lin Yi was curious.

“The northernmost Island, the northernmost Island you can find to the North of the sky-cla.s.s Island. It’s only the size of a palm on the map, but it’s the most high-end place in the northern region. It’s a money-squandering cave that can be ranked among the five Big Sky-cla.s.s islands.” Hong Zhong introduced.

He’d guessed that Lin Yi must have some sort of background, but he knew that Lin Yi’s public ident.i.ty was just a newbie in the GreenCloud Pavilion. It was normal for him to have never even heard of a place like the northernmost Island.

This was the truth. Although the northernmost Island was a famous money-squandering cave, it was the exclusive territory of the big shots. Ordinary cultivators were not qualified to enter and exit it. Even the people who knew of its existence were very few. For example, the miserable senior brother, who had been in the three great pavilions for many years, knew nothing about it.

“The northernmost Island. It sounds pretty good. How do we get there?” Lin Yi raised a brow.

Hong Zhong understood what Lin Yi meant and shook his head, “There’s no teleportation array, so the only way to get there is to use an aerial spirit beast. It will take at least four hours to fly there, so we have to hurry.”

While the two were talking, Hong Zhong had already ordered people to get ready. A huge flying spirit beast was on standby on the street. In addition to Hong Zhong and Lin Yi, there were two staff members accompanying them to the auction on the northernmost Island. They were responsible for a.s.sisting Hong Zhong.

The huge aerial spirit beast took to the air and headed north at high speed.

Standing on the back of the flying spirit beast, Lin Yi could see that other than him and Hong Zhong, there were also a dozen flying spirit beasts on the North Island. They took off from all directions, and their direction was the same as theirs, towards the northernmost Island.

Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Hong Zhong’s expression was a little strange. He asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Since it was an auction, the Hong Chamber of Commerce would send people over. The three pavilions of the North Island and the other Chamber of Commerce forces would naturally send people over too. This shouldn’t be strange, right?

“It’s nothing. I just feel that these people are a little too much. In the past, the North Island Auction has never sent so many people at once …” Hong Zhong said thoughtfully while pinching his chin.

Lin Yi looked over and saw that there were dozens of people on the other flying spirit beasts, only his side had four people. Compared to them, it was much thinner.

According to past practice, the North Island Auction was held once every six months. This frequency was neither too high nor too low. All the forces on the North Island would send people to partic.i.p.ate, but very few people would make such a big move.

Basically, Hong Zhong and his two a.s.sistants were enough to deal with the situation. If there were too many people, they would be idle. After all, this was not a fight, but a normal auction. There was no such thing as numbers.

However, it was fine if only one family had mobilized such a large force. At this moment, looking around, almost every other aerial spirit beast was packed with more than a dozen people. Some even had more people. This was too abnormal.

Hong Zhong gave his a.s.sistant a look, then found the flying spirit beast closest to them and slowly approached it. (Yesterday, a reader said on public prestige Yuren22 that Xu lingchong had changed his mental cultivation method. When he first came to the Sky Cla.s.s Island, he said that there was a type of mental cultivation method below the heavenly path, and above the heavenly path, one could change one’s mental cultivation method. Xu lingchong had never changed it before, so he could change it once. This will be mentioned in the next chapter.)
