They were planning on getting together on the ship and talking, but Lin Yi was either in isolated practitioning or refining-there really wasn't much time to chat. They'd better grab some food and chat while they still had time, making up for some of their regrets.
When they arrived at the dining room, they saw Shang Yuhua standing up and waving at them. She and Shang Wanyi were already sitting at a round table, which was more than enough to accommodate Lin Yi and the others.
But before Lin Yi could go over, the four people who asked him to make the pill all appeared as if they'd agreed on it. They all had meaningful smiles on their faces as they cupped their fists,"Master Lin, have our pills been refined?"
Wei shenjin didn't know the secret behind it, but he politely said to the four,""You guys can come back to look for Master Lin later. Right now, we're going to have a meal first. Can we talk about the pill refining after Master Lin is done with his meal?"
Hong Zhong was a cunning old fox who'd been in the business world for many years. He could tell from the expressions of the four people that a normal person asking for pills wouldn't be as arrogant as these four. He took a step forward and stood beside Lin Yi.
This subconscious move also showed that hongzhong and Lin Yi were determined to go through thick and thin together. Lin Yi's heart warmed a little-it was a good thing to have a friend like this by his side.
However, they didn't need to worry about Lin Yi's refining as everything was under his control. He patted Wei shenjin's shoulder with a smile,""It's fine, I'll have a chat with them first. You can bring brother Hong and the others to have a seat first. I'll be there in a while."
"Yes, boss! Then we'll head over first. " Wei shenjin was completely obedient to Lin Yi-he agreed immediately and invited the three to go to Shang Yuhua's side.
Hong Zhong whispered in Lin Yi's ear,"Lil bro Lin, these guys are a little weird, are you okay with that?"
"Don't worry, brother Hong, there won't be any problems!" Lin Yi smiled faintly and gave him a reassuring look, telling him to go over first.
Seeing Lin Yi's confident look, Hong Zhong didn't say anything more. He really admired Lin Yi's methods, so if Lin Yi said it would be fine, it would be fine. There was nothing to worry about.
After Hong Zhong left, Lin Yi smiled faintly at the four,"Do the four of you need to find a quiet place to talk?"
He didn't ask how the four of them got together all of a sudden-it didn't matter, since they wouldn't have the chance to ask Lin Yi for help anymore.
The leader of the group had a faint sneer on his face as he laughed softly. "There's no need. It's nothing shameful anyway. Master Lin, just tell me if you're done."
The news from Zheng Tianqing was that Lin Yi's refinement had failed, and since that was the case, they had to spread the news as far as possible. A crowded place like a restaurant was the best place to do so.
If it weren't for the fact that he was worried that Lin Yi would leave before he got off the ship, Zheng Tianqing might've ordered these four guys to attack when they reached the northernmost Island. By then, Lin Yi's notoriety would not only be known to the people on the ancient warship, but the entire northernmost Island would know about it in the shortest time possible.
However, the effect in the restaurant was not too bad. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things travel a thousand miles. This kind of embarrassing news was the fastest to spread, so Zheng Tianqing did not continue to wait.
Before Lin Yi could say anything, the other guy spoke up,"Master Lin, we've heard a rumor that you'll tell us that you've failed and then you'll take all of our things. That can't be true, right?"
"Master Lin, these Mystic first level elixirs are extremely precious. We asked you to make them because we believe in your abilities, but if you want to keep them for yourself, that would be too disgraceful. Four types of Mystic first level elixirs, you should at least make two or three of them, right?" The third one followed up. Lin Yi hadn't even said anything yet, and they were already putting the blame of failure on him.
Lin Yi had wanted to give them the pills and get rid of them as soon as possible-they were about to reach the northernmost Island, and he didn't want to waste his time on these small fries, but since they didn't even want him to talk, he might as well not talk. He'd like to see how these guys were going to end this today.
The fourth one, who was also unwilling to be left out, snorted and said,""Master Lin, you're not saying anything. What do you mean? Did he really not succeed in refining a single pill? Or should I say that I've succeeded in one or something? at least give me a definite answer?"
These guys were speaking louder than each other, as if they were afraid that others couldn't hear them. Wei shenjin's expression had already changed. He suddenly stood up and wanted to teach them a lesson. Shang Wanyi, Cai Zhongyang, and the others couldn't stand it anymore, so they also stood up.
Most of the people on the ancient battleship knew each other. Whether it was Nakajima or Beidao, even if they had not seen each other before, they had heard of each other. For example, the four guys who were talking were the higher-ups of a few small sects and families in Nakajima. Compared to the Vice Presidents of big Chambers of Commerce like Shang Wanyi and Cai Zhongyang, they were not on the same level in terms of power or influence.
As long as they stepped in, the four would shut up, but Hong Zhong believed Lin Yi's words. He stopped them and told them to order in peace, in case Lin Yi came and didn't deliver the food.
"You guys really have no manners. How can you speak to Master Lin like that?" Zheng dongjue, who'd been watching from the side, couldn't help but walk over. It looked like he was helping Lin Yi, but he was actually stepping on him a few more times."Master Lin's pill refining skills, who on this ancient battleship doesn't know about it? It was just a few Mystic first level pills. How could it be difficult for a true master alchemist like Master Lin? Don't joke around!"
Zheng Tianqing also followed him and laughed evilly, "That's right. Master Lin's pill refining success rate is extremely high. There's definitely no problem with your pills. What's the point of you guys being so talkative? Don't you believe in Master Lin?"
The teeth that he'd knocked out earlier had already completely recovered, and at this level, even broken limbs could be regrown very quickly. With pills, a few teeth didn't even need pills-he could just use his own Qi to fix them back in place. However, those teeth were still hurting when Zheng Tianqing saw Lin Yi.
Lin Yi put his hands behind his back and looked at Zheng Tianqing and Zheng dongjue with a faint smile. His eyes looked like he was watching a farce, making Zheng Tianqing feel that something was wrong.
