In the darkness of Lingxiao Pavilion, a strange light flashed in Ling Bingqian's beautiful eyes. She didn't expect that Long Yi could actually refine the Nine-Patterned Qingling Pill. As a businessman, she keenly discovered the huge cooperation value of Long Yi.

In less than half an hour, he refined nine Nine-Patterned Qingling Pills without any loss of medicinal materials. Even the elders of the Alchemy Association would find it difficult to achieve such terrifying alchemy skills.

Previously, Lingxiao Pavilion had only one source of high-end elixirs: the Alchemy Association. Not only were the prices high and the profits thin, but Ling Bingqian also had to face exorbitant demands from the Alchemy Association every now and then. Ling Bingqian had long been fed up with this feeling of being constrained everywhere.

Right now, Long Yi is an excellent partner. If this relationship can be established, Lingxiao Pavilion's status in the business world will be further elevated.

Long Yi only auctioned off three Nine-Patterned Qingling Pills, and planned to use the remaining six himself and give them to people around him.

After all, if Chen Qianqian and the others can reach the peak of the Yellow Rank, they will have a certain ability to protect themselves even if Long himself is not around when they encounter danger in the future.

Afterwards, guests auctioned off several collections one after another, but for Long Yi, there was nothing worth buying, so the auction ended.

After the show, the goblin brought the Black Gold Panfeng Furnace to Long Yi and said stiffly:

"Mr. Long, according to the terms we just agreed upon, this Ding Wujin Panfeng furnace is already yours."

Long Yi was delighted. Not only did he unexpectedly gain the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword at this auction, he also earned an extra 900 million in cash and even got the Black Gold Panfeng Furnace.

He said sincerely, "My friend, I will pay you one hundred thousand taels of gold first. As for your chief's illness, I will go to the tribe with you tomorrow. You can give me the alchemy furnace after he is cured."

The goblin looked up at Long Yi and said gratefully, "I believe in you. When you leave, I can give you the Black Gold Panfeng Furnace first, because you made me feel the warmth from an alien race."

Long Yi nodded. It seemed that even between different races, there could be friendship based on sincerity.

He turned to Ling Lei and said, "Brother Ling, does Lingxiao Pavilion support exchanging gold? According to the exchange rate, 100,000 taels of gold should be 200 million."

Ling Lei pondered for a moment and said, "As the largest chamber of commerce, Lingxiao Pavilion can naturally exchange gold. However, 100,000 taels of gold is a very large amount. I will immediately raise funds from all branches of Lingxiao Pavilion. I will have the funds collected by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Long Yi nodded, obviously this was the best solution.

He lowered his head and said to the goblin, "Friend, then it's settled. I will pay High Heaven Pavilion 200 million. Tomorrow morning, you will have someone deliver the gold to the goblin tribe. I will go with you to treat your chief."

"Well, I'll wait for you at the gate of Lingxiao Pavilion tomorrow morning." After the goblin said this, he handed the black gold panfeng furnace to Long Yi.

After Long Yi got the alchemy furnace, he paid Ling Lei 200 million, and the transaction was preliminarily completed.

Just as he was about to take Ye Qingxue away, he heard a voice behind him, crisp but with a hint of coldness.

"Mr. Long, please stay. I think we might be able to discuss cooperation."

Long Yi looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Ling Bingqian, the head of Lingxiao Pavilion. She was wearing a pure white short skirt, and her long, white legs swayed gracefully as she walked towards Long Yi.

"Miss Ling, is there anything else?"

Ling Bingqian got straight to the point and said softly, "Mr. Long, I think you can reach an exclusive cooperative relationship with Lingxiao Pavilion with your alchemy skills.

All the medicinal materials you use in the alchemy process are provided by my Lingxiao Pavilion. We can split the profits from the sales of the pills 40% to 60%, with you taking 60% and Lingxiao Pavilion taking 40%. What do you think?"

Long Yi was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that he would attract Ling Bingqian's attention during the alchemy competition at the auction.

Although the conditions offered by the other party were quite generous, they still had no appeal to him.

Long Yi smiled and said, "Miss Ling, I have no shortage of alchemy furnaces or raw materials. If I produce and sell the pills myself, I can fully reap all the profits. Why should I give away 40% of the profits for nothing?"

Ling Bingqian didn't expect Long Yi to refuse so bluntly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"I... my High Heaven Pavilion can provide you with all the protection you need. After all, even if you are innocent, it is still a crime to possess a treasure. With such top-level alchemy skills, you will inevitably be coveted by various forces. They might even capture you and use you as a laborer."

Ling Bingqian crossed her arms, put on a frightened expression, and said emphatically, "If you don't work, they'll whip you. It's worse than death, okay? So why don't you consider joining us at Lingxiao Pavilion?"

Long Yi actually found it cute when he saw her deliberately threatening him. Is this the contrast of the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion?

On the surface, she is an iceberg beauty with a frosty face and no strangers are allowed to approach her, but in fact, she is a silly and cute girl who doesn't know how to communicate with others.

Long Yi jokingly said, "So my only chance of survival is to join Lingxiao Pavilion? Miss Ling is so kind to me."

Ling Bingqian didn't realize Long Yi was being sarcastic and thought her persuasion had worked. She asked excitedly, "So you're planning on joining High Heaven Pavilion?"

"No." Long Yi refused decisively.

Ling Bingqian then realized that she had been tricked and said angrily, "Then why did you say that just now?"

Long Yi smiled and said, "There aren't many silly beauties like you these days, so I just want to tease you."

A blush instantly appeared on Ling Bingqian's pretty face. She had hardly ever had any contact with men other than her younger brother since she was a child, let alone being called a stupid beauty by a strange boy.

Although she is the head of Lingxiao Pavilion, she hardly cares about business matters and is immersed in the practice of swordsmanship. Today, she just had the idea of ​​recruiting Long Yi on a whim.

Ling Bingqian said angrily, "You...you really don't want to think about it again. Duan Wensheng will definitely ambush you when you go down the mountain. If you promise me, I can protect your safety."

Long Yi laughed in his heart. He had just seen the strength of this girl. She was only in her early twenties but already had the strength of the initial stage of the Profound Realm. She was indeed a genius in cultivation.

He said, "Miss Ling, although your strength at the initial stage of the Profound Realm is considered outstanding compared to your peers, it is still a little lacking in my eyes. Little girl, you should protect yourself."

After saying that, Long Yi walked towards Ye Qingxue who was waiting for him in the distance.

Ling Bingqian's pretty face was covered with frost. She waved her fist in anger and said, "You can't leave! Why do you say I'm not as strong as you? Do you dare to compete with me?"

Long Yi acted as if he didn't hear anything. He took Ye Qingxue's hand and walked out without looking back.
