8528 Chapter 8527-
Fortunately, that sort of disappointing scene didn’t happen. Lin Yi wasn’t too far from the school, and there was still some distance to the target area when he felt someone approaching him.
It was a woman in Black with a veil over her face. She had a slim figure, but she was not the one that appeared in the surveillance of the central Chamber of Commerce.
Lin Yi continued walking, pretending that he didn’t notice the woman’s approach.
The masked woman followed Lin Yi for a while, as if she was observing him. After about ten minutes, she sprinted over to Lin Yi’s side.
Lin Yi was disguised as a peak-level primary-stage mountain-opening student. In a titled Empire, this level of strength would be considered a genius.
However, in Tianxia college, it was only average.
“This young man, are you a new student from Tianxia College’s alchemy division?”
The masked woman didn’t make a move, but greeted Lin Yi with a gentle voice,”Looking at the uniform you’re wearing, it should be correct, right?”
Lin Yi pretended to be on guard as he turned to face the masked woman,”So what if I am? So what if he wasn ‘t? Who are you? I don’t think we know each other. ”
“We didn’t know each other before, but we got to know each other very soon!”
The masked woman spun around lightly, her figure moving and her fragrance wafting.””Hey, this is the second time we’ve met again. You’re not a stranger now, are you?”
Lin Yi’s mouth twitched, pretending to be speechless as he tried to distinguish the scents, making sure there wasn’t any scent or anything.
“Do you have something to say? If there’s nothing else, please go ahead!”
Lin Yi was unmoved as he raised his hand.
What he meant was for the masked woman to leave quickly and not get in his way.
This was, of course, a tactic to play hard to get-if her target really were the students, she wouldn’t let Lin Yi go so easily.
“What a cold and indifferent young man! You haven’t answered your sister’s question. You’re a student from the alchemy sub-school, right? As a man, can’t you be more straightforward? Could it be that you’re afraid big sister will eat you up?”
The masked woman puffed out her chest and took a step closer to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was like an innocent teenager-he was forced to take a step back, as if he didn’t dare to get too close.
“If you have something to say, say it. Stand there and don’t move. I’m not used to people speaking too close to me!”
Lin Yi’s acting was perfect, and he stammered as he spoke, perfectly displaying the nervousness of a young man.
The masked woman chuckled and waved her hand,””Okay, okay, I won’t tease you anymore. You’re wearing the alchemy sub-school’s new student uniform. This isn’t something that can’t be told to others. Is there a need to hide it?”
Lin Yi furrowed his brows, starting to suspect if this woman was the mastermind behind the disappearance.
Why didn’t the other party make any move to arrest him? why did he just say such useless things?
“Yes, you’re right. So what’s the matter? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave, because I still have things to do!”
Lin Yi cupped his hands and continued to retreat, pretending to leave.
As expected, the masked woman raised her hand to stop him.””Don’t be in such a hurry. Young people are really impatient. I’m a businessman and I sell some precious items. I happen to have something that the new students of the pill refining section need the most, so I wanted to ask if you are interested.”
“The thing that the new students of the alchemy division need the most? What was it? How come I didn’t know about it?”
Lin Yi said, putting on an appropriate amount of interest and hesitation. “You’re not lying to me, right? Although I’m a new student in Tianxia College’s alchemy division, I’m not a child who has never seen the world!”
The masked woman chuckled again, probably mocking Lin Yi for being so stubborn. He was clearly an inexperienced kid, yet he still wanted to act like he was old.
“Yes, yes, yes, I can’t hide anything from you, so of course I can’t lie to you! You’re a new student, so you might not know, but the thing that the new students of the alchemy sub-school need the most is the nether spring Aqua fruit. Have you heard of it?”
Lin Yi, of course, knew what the spring Aqua fruit was, but it was really rare and unpopular. Not many people knew about it, so he shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it!”
“It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of it. Big sister will tell you why you need the nether spring Aqua fruit! There are five levels in the alchemy sub-Academy’s library Pavilion. New students can only enter the first level to borrow books, is that right?”
The masked woman didn’t mind at all. She continued after seeing Lin Yi nod,”You don’t know yet, but if new students want to enter the second level to borrow books, they need to use nether spring blue fruit to synthesize a potion and hand it in as a semi-finished elixir. The synthesis of this kind of potion is more difficult and requires a lot of nether spring blue fruit.”
“Think about it, how big is the difference between those who can only borrow Basic Books on the first floor and those who can enter the second floor? Two new students who were originally of similar talent would have a world of difference in half a year!”
The masked woman’s persuasion ability was very strong, especially her voice, which was quite gentle and beautiful. It was comfortable to listen to, and it was easy to get a good impression from others.
As for whether or not she was telling the truth, Lin Yi was the Dean … He wasn’t too sure!
Thinking about it, he was really ashamed!
“Really? How come I’ve never heard of it?”
Lin Yi was tempted, but he hesitated.”Even if it’s true, how many nether spring Aqua fruits do you have? What’s the price? Is it expensive?”
“Don’t worry, I’m the fairest. Besides the new students of your alchemy sub-school, there are not many people who need the nether spring Aqua fruit, so you don’t have to worry about the price. I’ll definitely satisfy you!”
The masked woman let out a melodious laugh as she continued to guide Lin Yi,”If it’s really inconvenient for you to have money, big sister can also make the decision to let you owe a part of the payment on credit. In the future, when you become an Alchemist, you can help me refine pills for free to pay for it. I will pay for the materials for the alchemy, how about it?”
This proposal was very tempting, and it was very reasonable.
Because hiring an Alchemist to refine pills had always required a high price. Sometimes, the cost of refining pills would exceed the price of the materials. If they failed, they would have to pay compensation, which was very normal.
Therefore, using free pill refining to credit the payment for goods was not something unusual.
To the new students of the alchemy School, alchemy was something they would only consider in the future. Using their future labor to exchange for their current gains was also a very cost-effective trade.
Lin Yi pretended to think for a while before agreeing to the proposal.”Good! Then it’s a deal! How many nether spring Aqua fruits do you have? let me see and name your price!”
“Little brother, you really don’t know about the nether spring Aqua fruit! I’m not sure about the characteristics of the nether spring Aqua fruit, so I’ll give you a little explanation today. After this spiritual fruit is picked and stored in a good Jade box, it can only be maintained for one or two days. After that, it will start to lose its spiritual energy rapidly. ”
The masked woman wasn’t lying-Lin Yi knew the properties of the fruit, and he knew that she wasn’t lying.
