Lin Yi wasn't interested in who was hosting the trade fair. His only goal was to get the ghost cicada wings, and he ignored everything else.
Hong Zhong and the others had made a few moves and obtained some things that they were interested in. In this kind of trade fair, everyone's items were basically private. Whether it was the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the five elements Chamber of Commerce, or the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, non-private items would only be auctioned and would not be traded in this kind of trade fair.
The trade fair had been going on for about two hours, and Lin Yi was starting to get worried since he still hadn't seen the ghost cicada wings. He wondered if Hua Lianxin had received the wrong information, or if she was just spouting nonsense to get Lin Yi's gratitude. After all, without the ghost cicada wings, she could use it as an excuse to say that the other party had changed his mind.
But just as Lin Yi started to lose his patience, the ghost cicada wings finally appeared!
A man with a hood that covered his face appeared on the trading platform. He took out a Jade box and said,""A pair of ghost cicada wings in exchange for a henna pill!"
There was a sudden uproar below the stage. Everyone thought that this guy was crazy. He actually used a pair of ghost cicada wings to exchange for a sea acceptance pill. Wasn't this too whimsical? No wonder he was wearing a hood. He knew that it would be embarrassing!
Lin Yi scanned with his spirit sense, but he couldn't get it into the hood. It seemed like this thing could also prevent the detection of spirit sense, but the effect wasn't very good. As long as Lin Yi wanted to, he could destroy it at any time. Unfortunately, the ghost cicada wings belonged to the other party. If he wanted it, he couldn't just mess around like this!
"My friend, the ghost cicada wings are rare, but in terms of value, they're not even one-tenth of a henna pill, right? You're not being sincere with your offer!" Someone in the audience could not help but complain.
This kind of trade fair was an occasion where everyone exchanged things with each other. Even if the value of the items exchanged was not equal, the difference would not be too ridiculous. Such a high price on the stage was simply breaking the rules of the trade fair, so it would cause dissatisfaction.
The man with the hood said coldly,""If you're not willing to exchange, then shut up. No one is forcing you to exchange!"
The person who spoke earlier was speechless, because what he said was right. The trade fair was about willingness, and no one would force you to trade.
However, Lin Yi was reminded by the person. He really wanted the ghost cicada wings, but this price was too outrageous. He didn't have any more hyna pills, and even if he did, he'd have to think about it.
The demonic thing laughed."Kid, the guy on the stage seems to be here for you. He knows that you want the ghost cicada wings. That's why he deliberately offered a high price."
"Senior ghost, do you think that this guy is also in cahoots with cloud flower and Lotus Xin?" Lin Yi smiled. He had the same thought as well, and if the ghost was thinking the same thing, then he probably wouldn't be wrong.
"You'll know if it's true or not if you keep watching,"the ghostly thing chuckled.
Lin Yi didn't need the thing to tell him what to do-he didn't have the hynadan he wanted anyway, so he decided to just wait and see.
The man in the hood on the stage waited for a while before he said coldly,""I heard that someone wanted to buy the ghost cicada wings, so I took this out. I didn't expect that a mere hyna pill would be enough to scare them. I can only say that the person who wanted to buy the ghost cicada wings wasn't very determined to buy this thing!"
Many people who knew Lin Yi couldn't help but look at him. After all, he had publicly asked to buy the ghost cicada wings on the ancient warship. As for the trade fair later, when Hong Zhong came out to buy it, everyone knew that it was Lin Yi who asked for it.
"See, they're really coming for you!" The ghastly thing said as if it had expected this.
"That doesn't mean he's with Yunxiao. I'll test him first." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
After talking to the ghost, Lin Yi raised his voice,""I do want the ghost cicada wings, but I don't have the hyna pill. Do you think you can trade it for something else?"
"You're the Lin Yi who got the chance to refine Mystic second level pills at the auction, right? If it's you, you don't need a finished product. I can provide the materials, and you can make a welcoming sea pill for me, then the ghost cicada wings will be yours!" The hooded man on the stage said unhurriedly, and the conditions for the exchange instantly dropped by several times.
A finished henna pill and an elixir were two completely different things, not to mention that he was providing the elixir himself-all he had to do was make the elixir.
"Hehe ... We're indeed in cahoots!" "I don't know what they're trying to do," Lin Yi said with a smile,"are they really trying to get a hyna pill?"
"Silly boy," the ghostly thing laughed."I guess those idiots think you're relying on some external force to keep refining pills, so they keep testing if you can continue to refine pills. Then they will use the ghost cicada wings to lure you to make a move. The opportunity at the auction will be wasted!"
Lin Yi blinked, finally understanding that the ghost's guess might be true. He'd never had such concerns, so he didn't think about it. The truth was usually that simple!
After thinking it through, Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He did rely on external forces to make elixirs. Whether it was the endless Qi in the Jade space or the consumable essence spirit from the soul-hooking hand that could directly turn into the fire, they didn't belong to him. However, these things couldn't be used up. He could only say that these people were very stupid and naive if they wanted to use up all of his opportunities to make elixirs.
"Do you regret it? I should've told you to accept the pill refining commissions that were delivered to your door. Those are all spirit Jade!" The ghastly thing said with a strange laugh, but it was just a casual remark.
Whether it was him or Lin Yi, they both knew that if they kept accepting requests, the ghost cicada wings would never appear. It was because of Lin Yi's decisiveness that they used the ghost cicada wings as bait.
It only took a moment for Lin Yi to figure out the cause and effect of the interaction with the ghost. He smiled faintly and said to the hooded man, "It's not that I can't concoct the accept sea pill, but I need time. The auction is about to begin, can we trade after the auction?"
"Of course not. If you agree to make the pill, you have to do it before the auction starts, or else ..." The man rejected Lin Yi's suggestion. After the auction? It's already too late. All the hard work and design were for nothing!
