Chapter 4332 4330-Encountering Pirates Again
As the strongest golden core stage practitioner who had broken through perfectly, theoretically, he should be able to level up quickly and easily, at least within the entire golden core stage. However, Lin Yi was stuck at the early golden core stage.
To be honest, Lin Yi had accumulated a lot of battle experience during this period of time. From the inner sect competition of the three pavilions in the North Island to all the encounters he had after leaving the South Island, he had been fighting against golden core and nascent soul masters, and each one was stronger than the last.
According to reason, even the bottleneck should have loosened a long time ago, but after so long, there had been no signs at all. As a result, now that he had taken a Supreme-grade golden core, he had directly broken through to the middle stage of the Golden core. This was really a joke of fate.
Lin Yi thought to himself-it was probably because he'd reached the point a long time ago, but he just lacked the opportunity to break through. Now that he'd taken the Supreme-grade golden pill, the opportunity was triggered, and with the Golden pill's own effects, it made sense for him to level up two times.
Facing this unexpected surprise, Lin Yi, who was still a little depressed, suddenly became excited. A perfect golden core stage master was above ordinary golden core stage Masters, and with his current strength as a mid-stage golden core, even if he went up against a normal full-stage golden core Master, he would be completely suppressed.
And if he used his strongest trump card, Lin Yi had a strong feeling that even if he was alone, he could defeat an original leveled master!
Feeling the new energy in his body, Lin Yi looked at the remaining golden core and was tempted. He believed that with his potential as a perfect golden core, he could level up again if he continued to use it, but Lin Yi suppressed the tempting thought.
It was good to take a step further, but cultivation was about moderation. If one was greedy for speed, it would be better.
No matter how powerful and harmless the effects of the elixir were, they were only supplementary items in the end. Only the results of cultivation that were produced through constant grinding would be the true foundation.
Although he'd successfully broken through to mid-stage golden core, Lin Yi didn't leave the inn immediately. He stayed in the inn to practition-he'd already made arrangements with Xinyan and xiaotao, anyway. Rather than risking his life to look for them again, he'd rather stay in the inn and stabilize his strength. When he got stronger, he wouldn't have to worry about not meeting them again.
For the next few days, Lin Yi didn't step out of the house at all. It was only when he felt the Qi in his body become as smooth as his arm again, and his strength completely stabilized, that he finally stepped out of his room for the first time. He decided to strike a balance between work and rest and went out for some fresh air.
Lin Yi didn't put on the mask this time-the Morning Star Academy's selection was over, and the people should've left already. There was no need for him to do anything.
The inn that Lin Yi was staying at wasn't just an Inn, it was a pretty big restaurant, and it was quite famous in the entire zhenduan city. The first and second floors were for drinking and eating, and only the third floor was used for resting.
Lin Yi ordered a few signature dishes and sat down at a window seat. He enjoyed the view outside as he ate the signature dishes. It was a rare moment of relaxation.
Lin Yi had to admit that this restaurant's signature dish was really good. It was famous for all kinds of seafood, and was considered a local dish of the South continent. The flavor was different from any of the other dishes Lin Yi had eaten before. It was spicy, fresh, and fragrant, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Lin Yi was sitting alone, and not far behind him were two men drinking. Lin Yi glanced at the two men inadvertently, and subconsciously felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he'd seen them before.
"Big brother, those people from the Morning Star Academy should have left by now. Why is the dock still under martial law? our ship of goods is stuck here. We've been saving it for almost a month. It's F * cking F * cked up!" One of the men in green cursed.
"I'm also wondering about this. They've already left, so why are they still putting in so much effort to impose martial law? but I estimate that it should be able to reopen in two days ..." The other black-shirted man said while drinking.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the two's familiar voices. He secretly examined their strength-they were both peak late golden core. There was no mistake, these two were the Pirates who robbed the goods!
Back then, there were four peak late golden core cultivators who had robbed the goods. The two people behind him were two of them!
Lin Yi didn't have a deep impression of these Pirates because he hadn't fought them before, but it hadn't been that long. He could still recognize them even though they were sitting so close to each other. Also, it seemed like they hadn't disposed of the goods they took from before?
But Lin Yi remembered clearly that the Pirates left zhenduan city after throwing them at the dock. Why did they come back now?
With Lin Yi's current strength, even if all four of them came at him at the same time, he wouldn't have a problem, let alone two peak late-stage golden core cultivators. He wasn't afraid at all and continued to eat quietly while listening to the two talk.
"Damn it, although we did it smoothly this time, and the four cowards were tactful and didn't resist at all, we were really unlucky after that. We had already set sail, but we were forced back by the storm. When the weather finally got better, the people from the Morning Star Academy came and sealed the dock again ..." The man in green was speechless as he drank his wine.
This answer answered Lin Yi's question-these people were forced back by the storm. No wonder they were still stuck here even though they'd left.
"Alright, second brother, you can stop complaining. You've said this dozens of times, and I've heard it so many times that I've gotten calluses in my ears. When we give this batch of goods to that shopkeeper Wei, think about the remuneration we agreed on before, tsk tsk, not to mention a month, even if we delay for half a year, it would be worth it!" The black-robed man laughed as he consoled.
Shopkeeper Wei? Could it be Wei Zhaotong of the Hong Chamber of Commerce? Lin Yi heard this and shivered, but after thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't possible. This guy was the one Wei Zhaotong entrusted to the Qitian bodyguard agency. It didn't make sense for him to find someone to Rob his own goods. They probably just had the same surname.
