“Senior brother Meng, you didn’t sound like this when you asked me to change Kuangqu yesterday. You changed your attitude way too quickly.” “But, I do have something I need from you, senior brother,” Lin Yi said, pretending to be depressed.

‘This kid is really begging me?’ Meng jueguang’s heart was filled with joy-he wouldn’t have felt so good if it were any other newbie begging him, since it was only natural. But this was the stubborn Lin Yi, and it was a completely different feeling!

The most pleasurable thing in the world was to appreciate the face of the enemy begging for mercy!

“Tell me, what do you want from me?” The anger in Meng jueguang’s heart was instantly swept away, and he deliberately put on airs.

“I want to take a day off tomorrow. I hope you can approve it, senior brother Meng.” Lin Yi said.

Although he and the other newcomers present had signed a contract with the spirit Jade Hall to mine here and were not allowed to be absent for no reason within three months, before they became miners of the spirit Jade Hall, their primary identity was still the newcomers of the welcoming new pavilion. Therefore, just like when the Kuangqu was allocated, Meng jueguang, the eldest senior brother in charge, could interfere with the management of the newcomers of the spirit Jade Hall. As long as Meng jueguang agreed, he could apply for a day or two of leave with just a word.

It turned out that this fellow wanted to take a leave of absence! Realization dawned on Meng jueguang, and he immediately pursed his lips. “What’s the reason? Why should I approve your leave?”

“Senior brother Meng, you’ve seen it for yourself. I’ve been working hard all day, but I can’t find any good Jade. My chest is a little stuffy, so I think I need to rest for a while.” Lin Yi said, pretending to be depressed.

“Ha? Stuffy chest? I thought you didn’t take it to heart when I saw your expression. So you have your chest feeling stuffy too?” Meng jueguang was instantly overjoyed, and even Meng Tong, who had flown into a rage out of humiliation, was smiling.

From the first day they’d known Lin Yi, no matter how they tried to deal with him, he’d always maintain a calm expression. Every time they saw that expression, especially when they’d been tricked instead of their plan, Meng jueguang and Meng Tong’s mood was as bad as if they’d eaten sh * t!

But now, this Lin Yi was admitting to being depressed-this was an unprecedented victory!

It’s good to be depressed! I’ll make you depressed until you die in the future! Meng jueguang’s mood brightened instantly, and he laughed as he patted Lin Yi’s shoulder.”Originally, I couldn’t approve this leave of absence for you. After all, if you cower at the slightest setback, it would damage the image of our GreenCloud Pavilion! But seeing how depressed you are, I’ll be magnanimous and allow you to take a day off! If you really can’t do it, you can ask for a few more days. You won’t be able to dig anything out anyway, so don’t be depressed to death after a few days of digging. Then you’ll be the first newcomer to die of depression in the history of the heaven rank North Island!”

“Thank you very much, senior brother Meng.” Lin Yi didn’t pay any attention to the sarcasm in his words. He didn’t look at the crowd again and turned to leave.

“Hehe, ninth older cousin, look at how ugly this kid’s smile is, it’s like he’s crying! Wahahaha!” Meng Tong mocked unscrupulously from behind.

Lin Yi’s expression didn’t look any different from before, but in Meng Tong’s eyes, it was as ugly as it could get. Before, he thought Lin Yi was just acting cool, and even wanted to kick his face, but now, it was more and more pleasing to the eye. It made him feel good!

Meng jueguang laughed sarcastically.”This is called having profound skills. Even if you’re depressed, you have to pretend to be calm and smile. Otherwise, how can you live up to the title of a newbie acting tough!”

The newbies all started laughing-Lin Yi had been a thorn in the side since the first day, and was publicly acknowledged to be above them, the normal newbies. There was only one word to describe the feeling of being able to watch him get beaten up like this-great!

You deserve to be struck by lightning!

Lin Yi didn’t even care how happy they were, and as for the depressed feeling, it was just a show for them to see. It was no different from a monkey show!

One had to know that Meng jueguang, this super good person, had given him a total of fifty pieces of spiritual Jade twice. He could not be happier, so how could he be depressed?

This time, he had asked Meng jueguang for leave not because he wanted to slack off for a day, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to go to the market. After all, he already had enough spirit Jade on hand. He wanted to buy the five medicinal herbs needed to refine the heaven’s path golden pill first. If he delayed any longer, the five medicinal herbs would be sold out, and that would be embarrassing.

Although the supply of those five medicinal herbs seemed to be quite large, it was better to be safe than sorry!

The next morning, Lin Yi put on the qiansi mask and went straight to the market.

Thanks to Meng jueguang’s contributions and the spiritual jades he’d stolen from the mines, Lin Yi had a total of sixty spiritual jades on hand. It wasn’t a very extravagant amount, but it was enough for him to be considered a tycoon among the newbies.

In a place like the market, the more you had, the more confidence you’d have. After spending eight spirit Jade to buy the five herbs he wanted, Lin Yi didn’t turn back immediately, but decided to walk around the market.

It was his day off anyway, and he had plenty of time to go back.

The last time he was here, although he had strolled around twice, he didn’t have many spiritual jades on hand. He only took a glance at many things from a distance and didn’t ask much.

But this time, it was different. He had more than fifty pieces of spiritual Jade in his hand, which was enough to buy a lot of things.

He’d seen a lot of new things on the outer and middle streets, but there weren’t many that caught Lin Yi’s eye. In this kind of cultivator’s market, no matter what it was, generally speaking, it could be classified into the following two categories, either to assist in cultivation or to assist in combat.

To Lin Yi, he had the Jade space, and he could make his own elixirs too. There was basically nothing in the market that could help him with his practitioning-even the most valuable and effective practitioning items on the outer and middle streets couldn’t compare to his own Jade space, and there was no need for him to buy them.

As for support items, Lin Yi could basically kill those at the same level in seconds with his strength after mastering the raging fire Eight Trigram palm. He could even challenge those at a higher level if necessary, so he didn’t have a high demand for these items.
