"Brother Zhong, in the future when I invite you for a drink, you can’t turn away!"
The Pill Master from Jing City raised his teacup and said with a tily smile.
"Of course not, after all, I have long admired you, Pill Master from Jing City."
Zhong Lin looked at the Pill Master from Jing City, smiled, and raised his teacup.
His words were not false.
Zhong Lin had always wanted to find a Pill Master of the sa level to exchange experiences, to be precise, to purchase so elixir recipes.
In the Luoxing Islands, there was Master Shuiyue, but unfortunately, they parted ways after just one eting.
Zhong Lin established the Spirit Miao Pavilion on New Moon Island also with the purpose of finding peers.
"Haha, since you two have t like old friends, from today onwards, the Spirit Miao Pavilion will be under the protection of my Heaven Pavilion! If any force dares to target Spirit Miao Pavilion, they will be targeting my Heaven Pavilion, and I will not let them off."
Zhang Shaorong, seeing Zhong Lin raise his cup, nodded in satisfaction, raised his cup to drink with Zhong Lin and the Pill Master from Jing City, and said with a smile.
Zhong Lin’s expression remained unchanged as he said, "With your words, senior, I am relieved. Let toast you once more."
After a while, Zhang Shaorong and the Pill Master from Jing City left, and only then did Long Zhao rush in from outside.
"Elder brother."
"Close the door."
Long Zhao hurriedly closed the door and then sat across from Zhong Lin.
The smile on Zhong Lin’s face had long disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.
Long Zhao also noticed Zhong Lin’s anger, and said softly, "Elder brother, did Zhang Shaorong do sothing to make you so angry?"
"What did he do? Just flaunting authority, thinking I couldn’t hear it. ’Protection of my Spirit Miao Pavilion,’ my foot. This is to brand with Heaven Pavilion’s mark." Zhong Lin said coldly.
Zhang Shaorong’s sudden visit was an attempt to win him over, and upon seeing Zhong Lin’s reluctance, he offered to protect Spirit Miao Pavilion.
Did he really think he was so kind?
Being under Heaven Pavilion’s protection ant Zhong Lin was marked by Heaven Pavilion.
Although the status of a Sixth Grade Alchemist might not compare to a Seventh Grade Alchemist, it was still significant, affecting the growth of a faction if he were to join a sect.
Zhang Shaorong would not let Zhong Lin go.
While it seed advantageous to Zhong Lin, it directly pulled him out of the neutral faction, and even Heaven Pavilion’s adversaries might vent their anger on Zhong Lin.
"I just want to practice alchemy and earn so spirit stones for cultivation, not get involved in these ssy affairs. Why force like this?"
A cold light flashed in Zhong Lin’s eyes, making the air in the room slightly chilly.
"How’s the thing I asked you to do coming along?"
Long Zhao quickly replied, "Elder brother, I’ve already found information about the Purple Essence Lotus."
"Really?"
"In three months, the Green Moon Comrce is holding an auction, and one of the items is the Purple Essence Lotus."
"Good, finally found the Purple Essence Lotus. With this spiritual dicine, I can refine the Sixth Grade Elixir, the Yun Shen Pill. Using this elixir, I can successfully break through to the Perfection of the Yunling Realm." Zhong Lin’s face finally showed joy.
"Elder brother, I also found out that there is another elixir recipe at the auction by Moon-shielding Comrce, a Seventh Grade elixir recipe." Long Zhao said excitedly.
"Hahaha, indeed, it’s a double blessing."
Zhong Lin did not ask what kind of elixir the Seventh Grade recipe was; as long as it’s Seventh Grade, that’s enough. Upon upgrading to a Seventh Grade Alchemist through the System Panel, he could thrive anywhere.
"However..."
"Hmm?"
"Elder brother, whether it’s the Purple Essence Lotus or the Seventh Grade elixir recipe, these are all priceless treasures. Although we’ve earned quite a bit of spirit stones over these four months, it’s still not enough."
"I thought it was sothing serious, don’t worry, there’s enough spirit stones."
Zhong Lin smiled. The last ti he went to New Moon Island, he brought all the spirit stones from Treasure Island, which was the accumulation of a hundred years by the Bloodthirsty Ten Thieves. Plus the spirit stones earned over these four months, it’s sufficient.
Long Zhao was still a bit skeptical: "Elder brother, why not sell the Mystic Sky Stick; if the spirit stones really aren’t enough, it could be troubleso."
"Are you willing?"
"What’s there to be unwilling about, as long as it’s useful to elder brother. Besides, carrying the Mystic Sky Stick all the ti is troubleso. My storage bracelet is of too low a grade to fit the Mystic Sky Stick in it, and I’m worried if it’s discovered soday, it would be a hassle."
Long Zhao shrugged, feigning indifference.
Zhong Lin gave Long Zhao a long look, feeling a bit convinced by this cheap junior brother.
He stole the Mystic Sky Stick from the territory of the Sea Ape Clan, risking Nine Deaths and One Life. Now he was willing to give it up for Zhong Lin, which made Zhong Lin a bit moved.
"Enough, I said it’s enough. Keep the Mystic Sky Stick with you properly. Wait... I just thought of a way to get it for free."
Zhong Lin’s mind suddenly flashed with a clever idea, and a hint of a plot appeared on his face.
"What?" Long Zhao asked, puzzled.
Zhong Lin beckoned him over, and Long Zhao leaned in with his ear.
A mont later, Long Zhao looked at Zhong Lin in shock, hesitating, "Elder brother, isn’t this too dangerous? That’s an expert from the Xuandan Realm."
"It’s just a Ninth Grade Xuandan. As long as it’s handled properly, and with the two of us working together, what danger could there be."
"But that..."
"No buts, just listen to ."
Zhong Lin waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes."
Long Zhao reluctantly nodded.
Ti gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
Business at Spirit Miao Pavilion beca increasingly prosperous, to the point where it was almost earning as much as the capital each day. However, Zhong Lin also began to sense so hostility.
For example, when Long Zhao went to purchase spiritual dicine, so guilds that had previously traded with them suddenly refused to supply him, forcing Long Zhao to buy from Heaven Pavilion instead.
Hearing this, Zhong Lin rely sneered and indicated to Long Zhao that from now on, he should buy spiritual dicine directly from Heaven Pavilion, and even sell the elixirs he refined to them.
This behavior also led the Jing City Pill Master to visit Spirit Miao Pavilion more frequently, often dropping by to drink and discuss alchemy.
Two more months passed, and the Green Moon Auction took place as scheduled.
"Let’s go! To Green Moon Comrce."
On this day, Zhong Lin closed the Spirit Miao Pavilion and flew with Long Zhao to the location of the Moon-shielding Auction.
Green Moon Comrce was one of the five major guilds on New Moon Island, its president being an expert at the Xuandan Realm, rumored to be backed by sect forces.
This guild specialized in trading elixirs, weapons, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, boasting imnse resources and having existed for thousands of years.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several figures descended from the sky, Martial Arts experts, landing in front of Green Moon Comrce and then walking inside.
Naturally, Zhong Lin and Long Zhao were among the crowd, descending from the sky, and seeing the grand shop before them.
The shop was massive, occupying a street ten miles long, with towering buildings, bright red walls, jade-carved qilins several people tall, and a line of armored, impeccably disciplined guards at the entrance exuding powerful auras.
