In the end, after a whole day of intense auctions, the four-Island Auction finally came to an end. All the items provided by the Chamber of Commerce had been auctioned off. However, this did not mean that the auction was over. On the contrary, this was only the first part of the auction.

Starting from the second day, there would be a personal auction. Every partic.i.p.ant who came to the North Island could take out good things for auction. All kinds of rare treasures that had never been seen or heard of would be revealed at that time.

However, in today’s auction alone, the hundred or so supreme quality elixirs that Lin Yi had personally refined were, as expected, the most important and eye-catching items!

Supreme-grade pills, even if they were not of a high grade, were strategic-level pills that only the core disciples of super forces had the right to enjoy. Ordinary people would not even get to see them.

Including the ten from the pill Hall of the middle Island and the rest of the Chambers of Commerce, the number of Supreme-grade elixirs in this four-Island Auction had reached an unprecedented 130, and 80% of them came from the Hong Chamber of Commerce!

Three pills in a group, five pills in a group, and even ten pills in a group. Every group of Supreme grade pills inevitably became the bomb that ignited the auction, constantly breaking the record of the transaction price.

These astronomical figures that made people’s mouths go dry unconsciously explained the same concept to everyone-what was called “demand but no supply”!

In the end, the Hong Chamber of Commerce had a great harvest. Just with Lin Yi’s hundred or so Supreme-grade elixirs, the final transaction price reached a million spirit Jade. It was simply jaw-dropping!

On average, each Supreme-grade elixir was worth more than 10000 spiritual jades. This was an unimaginable miracle under normal circ.u.mstances.

When Lin Yi first sold the pill to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, it was only 800 spiritual jades. Here, it was more than ten times the price. He had to admit that there were many people who were stupid about spiritual jades in an auction. No wonder so many super Chambers of Commerce treated this auction as a must-fight, racking their brains for it.

In any case, the Hong Chamber of Commerce could be considered to have truly held its head high after this battle. From the beginning when it was jointly targeted by everyone, to today’s great harvest, the Hong Chamber of Commerce had fought a beautiful battle to turn things around. The significance of this battle was far more than just earning a million spiritual jades.

Without these 100 Supreme-grade elixirs, the four-Island Auction this time could very likely become the Hong Chamber of Commerce’s Waterloo under the joint attack of the wealthy families and the Super Chambers of Commerce such as the all-access banquet. It was not impossible for the Hong Chamber of Commerce to be divided and disintegrated by others.

But now, not only did the Hong Chamber of Commerce resolve the successful crisis, but it also successfully stood firm. Even the capital to counterattack was in place. Now, they would turn from defense to attack. If handled well, not only would they not suffer losses, but they could also take the opportunity to go one step further and launch an attack on the number one five elements pharmacy in the merchant Union!

All of this, Lin Yi could be said to be the greatest contributor. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that to the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi was the great benefactor who turned the tide!

“Young hero Lin, I will never forget your great kindness!” Even an experienced man like Hong Zhong couldn’t help but be overjoyed as he looked at the accounts, bowing repeatedly to Lin Yi.

This time, Lin Yi didn’t just save the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he also saved Hong Zhong. If Lin Yi didn’t help, Hong Zhong would have become the scapegoat for the higher-ups.

“Manager Hong, you’re too kind. We’ve been working together for so long, helping you is helping myself. Don’t you think you’re treating me like an outsider?” Lin Yi quickly helped him up.

Hong Zhong waved his hand and shook his head.”Cooperation is cooperation, and kindness is kindness. I’m clear about this. I can’t thank you enough for this. I’ll remember this in my heart.”

Lin Yi could only let Hong Zhong be after his insistence. He nodded,”Forget it. We still need to rely on manager Hong in many areas in the future. We have many days ahead of us.”

Hong Zhong chuckled and stroked his beard.”Well said. If young hero Lin has any instructions, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. However, this time, young hero Lin has not only done me a personal favor, but also the entire Hong Chamber of Commerce a great favor. I must let the higher-ups Express their grat.i.tude.”

“This … I don’t think there’s a need?” Lin Yi was a little worried. If Hong Zhong really said that to the higher-ups of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, wouldn’t he be forcing them to repay his kindness? it was a little inappropriate.

Hong Zhong was an old man, and he could tell what Lin Yi was worried about. He smiled, “Don’t worry, young hero Lin. We’re talking about grat.i.tude in private, but businessmen have always been profit-seeking, and there has always been only business cooperation. There’s no such thing as grat.i.tude. So this time, you have to treat it as a business. You’ve helped the Hong Chamber of Commerce resolve such a big crisis, so it’s natural to ask for repayment. No one can criticize it. If this goes on for too long, it will be a waste of time. So, you have to think carefully about what kind of repayment you want.”

This wasn’t hard to understand. Lin Yi and Hong Zhong could talk about grat.i.tude and friends.h.i.+p, but the Hong Chamber of Commerce didn’t care about this. Lin Yi had to get the substantial benefits as soon as possible.

However, Lin Yi couldn’t think of any benefits at the moment. He asked,”As for what kind of return, manager Hong, why don’t you give me an idea?”

“In my opinion, there are only two ways. The first is to directly ask for spiritual Jade. With your contribution this time, not only will all the proceeds of the auction go to you, but you can also ask for a reward of hundreds of thousands of spiritual Jade. This is a real benefit, and it’s simple and affordable. Are you interested in it, young hero Lin?” Hong Zhong probed.

“What about the second?” Lin Yi changed the topic. A few hundred thousand spiritual jades was indeed tempting, but to Lin Yi, as long as he had the farmer G.o.d’s medicine cauldron, he could earn more spiritual jades in the future. It wasn’t that attractive.

“As for the second option, it sounds a little fake at first. That is to take the opportunity to get a position in the Hong Chamber of Commerce. However, young hero Lin, you are an outsider after all. No matter how great your contribution is this time, you can’t be given a position with real power. At most, it’s just a nominal t.i.tle. For example, this time, you can try to fight for the t.i.tle of honorary Vice President.” Hong Zhong said with a profound smile.

“Honorary Vice President? Isn’t that a little too much?” Lin Yi’s eyes twitched.

Hong Zhong shook his head and said,”no, not at all. Lin shaoxia, you’ve done a great favor for the Hong Chamber of Commerce this time. It’s comparable to saving our lives. What’s so exaggerated about asking for the t.i.tle of honorary Vice President? although the t.i.tle is scary, it’s just a t.i.tle without any power.”
