"I see, it's nothing," Master Yan smiled and shook his head, quite satisfied with Lin Xiao's attitude.
Xuan Su, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "We should thank the Lin family for bringing us such a good deal by selling the ironwood and Yangyuan stone to the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce."
"We should thank the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce for giving the Lin family this opportunity," Lin Xiao said quickly.
Yan Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to be so polite. Xuan Su and Zhi Lan are staying here because there's something they want to discuss with young friend Lin Yi."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. "What is it?"
Xuan Su smiled and looked at Lin Yi, asking instead of answering, "I wonder what level of cultivation Lin Yi has reached now?"
"Late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm," Lin Yi understood Xuan Su's plan and didn't hide anything from her.
Xuan Su's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she continued, "I heard from Master Yan that you are also a seal master?"
Xia Zhilan's beautiful eyes were also fixed on Lin Yi, her thoughts unreadable.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly upon hearing this, "Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to break through to the second seal."
"What? You're already a second-level talisman master?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan were somewhat disappointed when they saw Lin Yi shake his head, but they were stunned when they heard what Lin Yi said next. Their beautiful eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly, showing extreme surprise.
Lin Yi smiled without speaking, releasing his spiritual power from his Niwan Palace, which condensed into two radiant runes in front of him.
Of course, this was not his natal talisman in his Niwan Palace.
"You really are a second-level talisman master! In just over a year, you've gone from a complete novice to a second-level talisman master. It's unbelievable!"
Master Yan murmured to himself, deeply shaken.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan, who were standing to the side, were equally shocked.
Even the proud and arrogant Xia Zhilan couldn't help but look at Lin Yi with new respect at this moment.
Not to mention them, even Lin Xiao was quite shocked. Although he knew that Lin Yi had also cultivated spiritual power, he did not expect that Lin Yi had unknowingly cultivated it to such a high level!
"Brother Lin Yi is amazing!" Seeing that everyone in the reception room was quite shocked, Qing Tan's delicate face immediately radiated pride, and her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Yi.
"Hehe, Xuansu, now that this little guy is strong, you won't have any doubts, right?" Yan Xuan looked at the two women on the side and said with a smile.
"Mm," Xuan Su nodded with a smile, and Xia Zhilan also chose to acquiesce.
Lin Yi feigned ignorance and asked, "Master Yan, Steward Su, you haven't said what you want to discuss with me yet?"
"Have you ever heard of the Elixir Pool?" Xuan Su suppressed her shock and asked Lin Yi with a smile.
"No," Lin Yi shook his head slightly.
"The so-called Danxian Pool is actually a rather rare and wondrous object of nature..." Xuan Su chuckled and introduced the effects of the Danxian Pool to Lin Yi, as well as the competition for the Danxian Pool with the Blood Wolf Gang.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "So, you want me to take one of your spots and help you compete for the Pill Immortal Pool? The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce is full of talented people, how could it be a chance for an outsider like me..."
“We did find a fairly suitable person, but Zhilan was unwilling, and Master Yan recommended you to me,” Xuan Su smiled slightly and said softly, “Of course, if you need any reward, you can just ask.”
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said, "I'm willing to take action, but afterwards I have to soak in that Pill Immortal Pool, how about that?"
Chapter 45: A Deal is Made, Song Qing's Provocation! [Please Read On]
Lin Yi is currently at the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. After soaking in the Pill Immortal Pool, he can begin to break through to the Lesser Origin Pill Realm.
Moreover, there are some good things hidden at the bottom of the Elixir Pool.
Lin Yi had originally been thinking about how to participate in the Immortal Pool Competition through the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce without making a fuss, but now he doesn't need to bother with that anymore.
"You're asking for too much! The Danxian Pool has limited energy; it's not for just anyone to soak in!"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's conditions, before Xuan Su could speak, Xia Zhilan couldn't help but say something.
"Moreover, the Immortal Pool competition is a best-of-three series. In the final round, you might not even need to show your face. With such a contribution, how can we allow you to enter the Immortal Pool as well?"
Lin Yi said calmly, "If you really don't need my help, then I don't need any reward."
"But... if you can't get two wins, then I'll step in again, which would be equivalent to securing three spots for you. I'll only take one, which isn't unreasonable, is it?"
Xia Zhilan paused upon hearing this, and was immediately speechless.
If the Blood Wolf Gang were so easy to deal with, the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have been unable to find a suitable candidate for so long.
“If the situation is indeed as you say, we will naturally not refuse the reward you demand,” Xuan Su said slowly after a moment of contemplation.
"Aunt Su!" Xia Zhilan called out hurriedly upon hearing Xuan Su's words, still feeling somewhat unwilling. However, after being glared at by Xuan Su, she reluctantly shut her mouth.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
"Hehe, you little rascal, it's quite rare to see someone manage to get Xuan Su to back down like this," Yan Xuan said with a smile, shaking his head as he saw that the two sides had reached an agreement.
Lin Yi smiled, ignoring Yan Xuan's words, and looked at Xuan Su, asking, "When will the Immortal Pool competition begin?"
“One month from now,” Xuan Su said with a smile, “if you like, you can stay at my Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce during this time. You can also make any requests you may have.”
"There's no need for me to stay at the Chamber of Commerce. I'll arrive three days in advance," Lin Yi shook his head, declining Xuan Su's suggestion, and then said...
"As for my needs, there's nothing else. I plan to buy a batch of spiritual herbs from the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce. They must be at least grade four or higher. I mainly want herbs that nourish spiritual power, but herbs that help improve cultivation are also acceptable."
The reason for the three-day advance was that Lin Yi remembered that there was an auction three days before the Immortal Pool competition, which included a mental power secret technique.
Xuan Su smiled charmingly, "Fourth-grade spiritual herbs are no problem, but fifth-grade spiritual herbs are relatively rare. As for spiritual herbs of sixth grade or above, the merchant guild doesn't have any yet, but I'll keep an eye out for them for you."
Lin Yi wasn't surprised by this. "Then let's start with a batch of fourth and fifth-grade spiritual herbs. I'll trouble Steward Su to make the arrangements for me."
"It seems that Brother Lin Yi is quite wealthy," Xuan Su said, glancing at Lin Yi with some surprise.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I was just lucky to have found a good master. This is what my master left me."
Xuan Su's eyes flashed, "May I ask who your teacher is?"
"My master forbids me from revealing his information," Lin Yi shook his head slightly and made up a story on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Su stopped asking questions and changed the subject, "Hehe, Brother Lin Yi, come with me and choose the spiritual herbs you need?"
Lin Yi then stood up, cupped his hands in farewell to Yan Xuan, and said, "Master Yan, I shall take my leave now."
"Hehe, go ahead," Yan Xuan said with a smile and waved his hand.
At this moment, Qingtan stood up and said, "Brother Lin Yi, I'll go with you."
"Master Yan, I must also take my leave. There are still many family members waiting for me outside," Lin Xiao said, following Lin Yi and Qing Tan.
Yan Xuan didn't try to stop him, but only inquired about Lin Dong's cultivation progress before letting Lin Xiao leave.
On the other side, Lin Yi and Qing Tan, under the personal reception of Xuan Su, quickly purchased twenty fourth-grade spiritual herbs and eight fifth-grade spiritual herbs. Unfortunately, only a small portion of them were for nourishing spiritual energy.
After buying the medicinal herbs, Lin Yi took Qing Tan to meet up with Lin Xiao and the others.
After obtaining Lin Xiao's consent, Lin Yi took Qing Tan and strolled around Yan City for two hours before rejoining the team and returning to Qingyang Town together.
After returning to Qingyang Town, Lin Yi once again enjoyed a peaceful period of cultivation.
Every three days, he would go deep into the mine, to that mysterious cave, to purify Lin Xiao's Yang Qi for his cultivation.
In his spare time, he would occasionally relax and accompany Qingtan to stroll around town.
Peaceful times always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, only three days remain until the battle for the Immortal Pool.
That morning, after saying goodbye to his family, Lin Yi embarked on his journey to Yan City alone.
Lin Yi had been to Yan City several times before and was quite familiar with the place, so he arrived at the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce without any problems.
Standing outside the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce, looking at the dense crowd of people like ants, Lin Yi couldn't help but admire the popularity of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.
"The crowds today are much denser than before, it seems the auction will be held today," Lin Yi thought to himself as he watched the dense crowd pouring into the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.
"Young Master Lin, you've arrived!"
As soon as Lin Yi stepped into the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce, a familiar figure came to greet him. It was Manager Xia, who had received them earlier.
"So it's Manager Xia, hello," Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting to Manager Xia and replied with a smile.
Manager Xia smiled and said, "Manager Su and Miss are waiting for Young Master Lin upstairs. I'll take Young Master Lin up."
"stop!"
Just then, a somewhat unfriendly voice suddenly rang out not far from the two of them.
As the voice faded, a young man dressed in blue with a slightly effeminate appearance strode over.
"Greetings, Young Master Song!" Manager Xia greeted the young man politely.
The young man in blue ignored Manager Xia, instead looking Lin Yi up and down several times before arrogantly asking, "So you're Lin Yi?"
"Who are you?" Lin Yi glanced at the young man and asked in return.
"The Song family, Song Qing!"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. It seemed that no matter who it was, if they wanted to replace the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce in the Immortal Pool Competition, this guy would jump out.
Lin Yi thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless. "I wonder what advice Young Master Song has for me?"
Song Qing stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "I don't care where you're from, but I'd like to give you a piece of advice: you should know your place."
"Go and tell Steward Su and the others that you're giving up your spot, and I'll give you a satisfactory reward. Otherwise, you'd better be more careful when you're operating in Yan City!"
"A satisfactory reward? I want the Elixir Pool, can you give it to me?" Lin Yi said with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Song Qing's face suddenly turned cold. "That's wishful thinking! You'll regret it!"
"If you don't have the ability, why are you bragging? I have things to do, don't block my way!" Lin Yi casually pushed Song Qing aside and said indifferently.
After saying that, Lin Yi walked directly into the Chamber of Commerce.
"Stop right there!" Song Qing's face turned ashen, and he roared angrily. His powerful Yuan energy surged out from his body, and his right hand, clenched into a claw, grabbed at Lin Yi's shoulder with lightning speed.
"stop!"
Just then, a furious shout suddenly rang out from the stairwell inside the Chamber of Commerce.
Chapter 46 A single kick sends the guest flying; the auction prize! [Please continue reading!]
Song Qing showed no sign of stopping. His claws surged with Yuan Power, carrying a sharp edge, and quickly grabbed at Lin Yi's shoulder.
