It had to be said that Hong Zhong’s position as the shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce’s branch today was really not given for nothing. He obviously helped others a lot, but he never took credit for it. Instead, he said it so casually that it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

As long as one was not an ungrateful person, such a favor would definitely be remembered in one’s heart, and one would remember it willingly without the slightest bit of discomfort. Over time, one would naturally have a huge and reliable network of connections.

The more friends there were, the more roads there would be. This saying was absolutely priceless in the cultivation world, and it was even more so for a businessman like Hong Zhong who relied on connections to make a living.

It could only be said that no matter what a person like Hong Zhong did, he would eventually be able to achieve great things. Strength was only one aspect, but his character and wisdom in dealing with people were also indispensable. In many cases, it was even more useful than strength.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel once more that being on good terms with someone like Hong Zhong would be of great help to his future development!

“I’m already very grateful for your help, manager Hong. How can I ask for more and borrow spiritual Jade from you?” Lin Yi smiled faintly,”actually, I’ve brought so many spiritual herbs and materials back this time because I’m preparing to start refining elixirs. I’ll bring them back next time to sell to you. I think it’ll be enough for the auction.”

“That’s good. Then, I will wait and see what young hero Lin will do.” Hong Zhong’s eyes lit up as he nodded in approval.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi didn’t stay outside for too long. He went back to his house and put the forging aside. Now that he had two heart-devouring exquisite grass in his hands, he naturally had to make the foundation building foundation pill first.

Strictly speaking, it hadn’t been long since Lin Yi entered the mid-stage of Foundation-he wouldn’t take any Foundation-level golden elixirs before he completely stabilized his strength, even if he had one. After all, rushing things could lead to the side effects of unstable foundations.

So, at least for the time being, Lin Yi didn’t need the Foundation Stage golden cores. However, it was better to be safe than sorry. Lin Yi was only in the mid-stage of the Foundation Stage, and he would be stuck in the Foundation Stage for a long time. The more Foundation Stage golden cores he had, the better. There was no reason for him to complain about having too many.

After a Night of Silence, Lin Yi was already very familiar with refining elixirs. With the help of Shennong’s medicine cauldron, there were basically no mistakes, and it was the same this time.

Lin Yi thought that he’d be able to make at least three Foundation Stage golden pills like last time-after all, these two heart-devouring exquisite grass were picked from the wild, and didn’t have any natural defects like the ones from the spirit medicine nursery. The quality was better, but the reality was that he only made two Foundation Stage golden pills.

However, Lin Yi also found two wasted pills in Shennong’s medicine cauldron. This meant that if everything went smoothly, he should be able to produce four Foundation Stage golden pills at once. He didn’t think that he would lose half of them in the end.

This was something that couldn’t be helped-no refiner could maintain a 100% success rate, and even Lin Yi, who had the help of Shennong’s medicine cauldron, was no exception. It was inevitable that some pills would go to waste, and he could only accept the reality helplessly.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn’t greedy-he was already very satisfied with two Foundation Stage golden cores. As for whether or not they’d be enough for him to break through to the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation, that was something he’d have to worry about in the future.

If it wasn’t enough, as long as hongzhong and Chen heihu continued to help, Lin Yi believed that with their influence, he’d have the chance to buy heart-devouring exquisite grass again in the future. As long as he had heart-devouring exquisite grass, he’d naturally be able to reach the Foundation Stage.

However, a wasted pill wasn’t completely useless. A wasted Foundation-building golden pill had a similar effect to a Foundation-building pill. It could help people who hadn’t reached the foundation-building stage successfully reach the foundation-building stage, and its effect was even better than a Foundation-building pill.

After adjusting his state of mind, Lin Yi was ready to start making more elixirs. This time, he was going to make the foundation breakthrough pill.

Other than keeping a small portion for his own use, Lin Yi planned to sell the majority of the foundation breakthrough pills to the Hong Chamber of Commerce as they had agreed. This way, not only would he be able to return Hong Zhong’s favor, but he could also raise a large amount of spiritual jades to prepare for the auction, killing two birds with one stone.

However, before Lin Yi could open the furnace again, the restrictions outside were triggered. Lin Yi had to stop for the time being.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile as he opened the door and saw the familiar faces.”Hehe, what’s going on today? what business do you have?”

It was Xu lingchong, Kang Zhaoming, and Zhong pinliang standing in front of the entrance.

Putting aside Lin er’s identity, these people were Lin Yi’s biggest enemies right now, especially after losing a capable subordinate like Meng jueguang. Xu lingchong probably wanted to kill Lin Yi right now-what was he trying to do by coming here with his men?

It was broad daylight, after all, and some of the new disciples were still watching from afar. Lin Yi was sure that no matter how much courage the other party had, they wouldn’t dare to come here and force their way in.

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn’t afraid at all, and was instead acting all high and mighty, lingchong felt his chest tighten. He didn’t come here to play tough with Lin Yi, but he wanted to put on a show. It would be best if he could scare Lin Yi in front of everyone and make him lose all his face in front of everyone.

And so, this time, lingchong personally released an unprecedented amount of energy, a Foundation Stage full foundation. Such a terrifying energy was completely exposed, and if Zhaoming and the others weren’t hiding behind him, they would’ve knelt down a long time ago.

However, Lin Yi was standing right in front of him, only two steps away from him, and he looked as if nothing had happened-this was out of his expectations.

To be honest, if Lin Yi was only in the early Foundation Stage, he might not be able to withstand such a strong aura, but he was now a mid-Foundation Stage master, and with his strong mind and strength, he was far stronger than his peers. If he couldn’t even handle this little aura, how could he live in the future?

Seeing lingchong’s constipated expression, Lin Yi smiled to himself and curled his lips, “You’ve come to the entrance of My Immortal’s cave and are not speaking. Do you want to be my security guards? Not bad, not bad, and quite intimidating. I can consider it. ”
