Chapter 4015: The pill exhibition

Translator: 549690339

These pavilions werent only beautiful, they were also a combination of all sorts of entertainment. It only took Lin Yi an hour to pa.s.s by a couple of brothels and gambling houses. These were things that normal people loved, but they were also a rare pastime for powerful pract.i.tioners.

Lin Yi, naturally, didnt care if hed seen a place like this before. He wasnt interested in these things at all, and even if he did, he wouldnt just spend money in a place he didnt know-hed be asking to be ripped off.

Other than the entertainment facilities on the island itself, Lin Yi also saw many merchants displaying their treasures in the pavilions.

Just as steward song had said, this was a four-Island Auction fair. The final auction was set to be in three days. These three days were the time for the various Chambers of Commerce to display their treasures.

Gathering popularity in advance and attracting as many potential buyers as possible, so that in the auction three days later, the price would be as high as possible. This was the significance of the exhibition treasure.

The auction had yet to begin, but the smoke was already everywhere. However, for the Hong Chamber of Commerce, who had no prior knowledge, these precious three days were bound to be wasted. Even if Hong Zhong could take timely measures to remedy the situation, it would take at least two or three days to transport the goods from the headquarters in Nakajima. There was no time at all.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Lin Yi at the moment. Even if he wanted to help Hong Zhong, there was basically nothing he could do. The only thing he could do now was to find his target auction item.

The king of junk had given him a list of seven materials. Apart from the mysterious water droplet that he had already bought from the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he had to find a way to gather the remaining six materials in this auction.

If it was just a normal North Island Auction, there might be some missing. But this time, the commotion was so big that as long as one had the heart to look for them, there was a high chance of gathering all of them.

As expected, Lin Yi found four of the materials after walking one round. The exhibition had just started, and many shops hadnt brought out all their items yet. He should be able to find the remaining two materials in two days.

The night pa.s.sed uneventfully, and Lin Yi went to look for hongzhong the next morning. He found the usually calm elder looking surprisingly bad, his eyes bloodshot. It seemed like he hadnt slept the whole night and was exhausted.

Manager Hong, the situation is not looking good? Lin Yi asked. Hed come here with Hong Zhong, and they were considered to be on the same boat. With their past friends.h.i.+p, it was only natural for him to help if needed.

Good Morning, young hero Lin. Hong Zhong forced a smile on his face, not hiding anything from Lin Yi, Thats right. I just received a reply this morning. This time, our Hong Chamber of Commerce has been buried in a hole dug by someone.

Why would I? Lin Yi blinked, confused.The Hong Chamber of Commerce is a big business. Even if the others want to join hands to deal with it, its not an easy thing, right?

Hong Zhong shook his head and sighed.That may be true, but we have now become the target of public criticism. The other party has been planning this for a long time. Not only did they deliberately block the news of the auction from us, but even our material reserves have been consumed and purchased in advance. Including the Nakajima headquarters and the other three branches, there was a serious shortage of goods at the auction level at the same time. A few days ago, they were bought in batches, which was really unexpected.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded. Even a layman like him knew that a business giant like the Hong Chamber of Commerce placed great importance on their storage.

Even if there was a shortage in a short period of time, there would definitely be channels to quickly replenish it. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to make all the branches, including the Nakajima headquarters, have a serious shortage at this critical time.

If thats the case, then its really a deliberate plan. However, the other party has gone through so much trouble. Their purpose shouldnt be just for this four-Island Auction exhibition. Im afraid that they will have more troublesome moves in the future. Lin Yi reminded.

Thats indeed the case. The other party has come with a menacing momentum this time. The auction is only the beginning. Once we appear too weak, and someone gets a hold of our weakness, perhaps our Hong Chamber of Commerce will really face an unprecedented crisis. Hong Zhong said worriedly.

The other party was a joint force of many forces. In the beginning, many of them might just be in a wait-and-see state. However, if the Hong Chamber of Commerce appeared too weak and was thought to be profitable by them, they would eventually swarm in. Then, they would really be doomed.

On the contrary, in this four-Island Auction fair, if the Hong Chamber of Commerce had a way to safely overcome the crisis and show its deep foundation, then these observing forces would automatically retreat, and the killing intent would be resolved.

Manager Hong, if we can gather enough items in a short time, will we be able to deal with this crisis? Lin Yi asked, deep in thought.

Hong Zhong nodded and said,thats right. However, in this level of auction, ordinary goods are simply not of a high enough grade. Even if they were transported here, they would only make people laugh. And the goods of high grade cant be replenished in a short time. It really makes me helpless.

Then, is a pill like the Supreme-grade foundation-breaking pill good enough? Lin Yi asked again.

Of course, the foundation building experts are the foundation and backbone of every force. For them, the Supreme-grade foundation building barrier-breaking pill is a treasure that can only be found by luck. It is even more sought after than some divine weapons. For any force, this is considered a strategic pill. It is an existence that has a price but no supply! Hong Zhong nodded with certainty.

Lin Yis lips curved up slightly at the words.If thats the case, then I should be able to help a little. Since theyre holding a four-Island Auction fair, how about we hold a Supreme-grade medicinal pill exhibition?

A Supreme grade medicinal pill exhibition? Hong Zhongs eyes brightened and he quickly said,Could it be that young hero Lin still has a lot of Supreme-grade pills?

No, I didn t, Lin Yi shook his head decisively. Hed already given Shangguan LAN er the two peak-grade foundation-breaking pills and sold all thirteen to Hong Zhong-he didnt have a single pill left.

Then This Supreme grade medicinal pill exhibition, where do you start? Hong Zhong couldnt help but feel a little disappointed.

Lin Yi smiled,manager Hong, you know that Im an Alchemist. I dont have any right now, but as long as I have enough ingredients, Ill be able to make it.
