Chapter 4019: Failed meeting
Translator: 549690339
“Manager Hong, are those people from the middle Island?” Lin Yi asked.
“That’s right. Not only are they from Nakajima, but they also have a very deep background.” Hong Zhong paused.”Have you noticed the five-colored pattern on their sleeves? that’s the symbol of the five elements sect, which is also the five elements pharmacy and Chamber of Commerce of the pill Hall of Nakajima.”
!!
“Five elements pharmacy?” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, deep in thought.
“Although it’s called a pharmacy, it’s the number one super Chamber of Commerce in the merchant Union. It’s under the rule of the hall of pills. I’m sure you know the leader of the hall of pills, young hero Lin. He’s Zhang Liju, the divine Doctor!” Hong Zhong said with a look of admiration.
Lin Yi was even more stunned after hearing this-if this meant that Tian Gang was from the five elements medicine room, didn’t that mean that he was already under Zhang Liju? She was directly teleported to Nakajima?
Coming from the common world, different people would be sent to different places. This was a very normal guess, but Lin Yi always thought that a woman like Tian Ji would be sent to the Western part of the island where female pract.i.tioners gathered. He didn’t think that it would be like this.
However, even if Tian Ji was sent to Nakajima to become a person of the five-element pharmacy, it shouldn’t be to the extent of directly becoming a stranger to him, right? what did this mean?
“Manager Hong, do you have any way to find out where these people are staying?” Lin Yi lowered his voice after some thought.
Lin Yi didn’t believe that Tian Gang didn’t recognize him. How long had it been since they parted? It was completely unrealistic! He had to find a way to figure out the reason. Moreover, the relations.h.i.+p between him and Hong Zhong was now far from what it was before they came here. They could be said to be on the same line, so there was no need to be too wary of each other. He could just ask this question directly.
As expected, although Hong Zhong was a little surprised, he didn’t ask much and directly replied in a low voice,””I’m not sure about this, but according to past practice, the northernmost Island has always arranged for important guests to stay in the core of the elite Gathering Hall. These people come from the five elements pharmacy, so they should be staying there. ”
“Elite gathering Palace, good, I will remember it. Thanks!” Lin Yi nodded. Things were almost done here, so he slipped out immediately. He couldn’t wait to find Tian Gang and ask him about the situation.
As he watched Lin Yi leave, Hong Zhong smiled as expected,”This young hero Lin really seems to be related to the five elements pharmacy. He’s unfathomable. However, to be able to refine hundreds of Supreme-grade pills in less than three days, I’m afraid no one in the entire five elements pharmacy can compete with you except for the G.o.d of alchemy, Zhang Liju. ”
Shaking his head and sighing, Hong Zhong didn’t think too much about it. He turned around and went to deal with manager Tong and w.a.n.g Tong. This time, he had almost been forced into a corner by these people. He had to take the opportunity to slap his face back.
As for Lin Yi, everyone had their own secrets. An old man like Hong Zhong naturally knew that knowing too much wasn’t necessarily a good thing. The most important thing now was to get Lin Yi on his side. Anything else was unnecessary.
Lin Yi had made a round around the northernmost Island, and after a few turns, he arrived at the entrance of the elite Gathering Hall, but was stopped.
“This is an important place for distinguished guests, and idlers are not allowed to enter.” A guard in black armor blocked Lin Yi’s way-the symbol of the northernmost island’s Northern Garrison.
“This one has a friend living inside and just wanted to talk to him. Can several Big Brothers accommodate him?” Lin Yi tried.
The northern Garrison guard responded with a blank expression,””Unless you have a pa.s.sage token or someone inside comes out to pick you up, please go back. Don’t ask for a snub.”
As he spoke, a few of the northern Garrison guards around him showed an aggressive and sharp aura, as if they were ready to kill Lin Yi on the spot if anything went wrong.
Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched. He was only a mid-foundation level master, and every one of the northern Garrison guards was stronger than him. If they were to fight, it would be suicide. He could only nod and back off.
After that, Lin Yi walked around the elite Gathering Hall and found that there was a guard every five steps and a Sentry every ten steps. There were no flaws at all, and he gave up the idea of sneaking in.
Looking at the elite Gathering Hall from afar, Lin Yi could only shake his head and sigh. It seemed that if he wanted to meet Tian Gang again, he would have to wait until the auction tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the northernmost Island was full of people. Lanterns and streamers were hung up all over the island, making it look like a Festival feast.
If it was just the usual North Island Auction, after all, it was only held once every six months, so it would not be that rare. But this time, it was a rare four-Island Auction exhibition, which might not even happen once in decades.
Following the crowd, Lin Yi and Hong Zhong arrived at the largest Pavilion on the northernmost Island. This was the final place of the auction, where all the items would be competed for by all parties. The winner would be revealed here.
Seeing Hong Zhong and the other man appear, the whole place burst into an uproar. The news that the Hong Chamber of Commerce suddenly took out more than 100 Supreme-grade medicinal pills yesterday evening had spread throughout the entire northernmost Island. Everyone knew about it.
Shopkeeper Hao, w.a.n.g Tong, and the others who had arrived early all had dark expressions. This time, they had racked their brains to deal with the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but in the end, before the auction even started, their plot had already been ruined in advance.
It was neither too early nor too late, but he had to rush to the last juncture of the three-day exhibition. Suddenly, he took out more than 100 Supreme-grade medicinal pills. Even if everyone used their toes to think, they could also figure out that they had been played by this old man, Hong Zhong!
Not only them, but even housekeeper song, who sold medicinal herbs to hongzhong, was shocked for a long time when he first heard the news.
Like everyone else, steward song didn’t believe that someone could refine so many Supreme-grade elixirs in such a short period of time. The only reasonable explanation was that Hong Zhong had been hiding it for a long time and had been holding it back until the last moment to slap these people in the face. The previous purchase of medicinal herbs was just a cover-up.
“This despicable and shameless old man!” w.a.n.g Tong and the others gritted their teeth in hatred. It wasn’t easy for them to find an opportunity to drag the giant Hong Chamber of Commerce down, but they didn’t expect this to be the result. All the previous plans were simply a joke that made people laugh. They really felt like they were blind.
Taking out more than 100 Supreme-grade elixirs at once, what a F * cking shocking amount! Even the five-elements pharmacy, which was the number one in the merchant Union, only brought 20 high-grade elixirs and 10 Supreme-grade elixirs this time. That was all, far less than the Hong Chamber of Commerce’s exaggerated and awesome spending!
