This thick-browed, big-eyed man was named Shi Yong.
Back when Jiang Yan had come to help Pei Daoming recruit and select fire boys, Zhang Lingshan had learned from him that becoming Pei Daoming's fire boy came with great benefits, which was why he had signed up for the selection.
At the time, Zhang Lingshan had promised that if he passed the selection, he would treat Shi Yong to a meal. But afterward, he had been temporarily assigned to the Alchemy Pavilion, so he had never had the chance.
As it happened, during the breaks between refining materials these days, he had run into Shi Yong, so he fulfilled his promise and treated him to a bowl of Spirit Rice Meal.
As they ate and chatted, Shi Yong asked Zhang Lingshan what the notice he had posted in the Exchange Hall meant, and whether he was looking for someone. Zhang Lingshan then brought up Song Yi, and even used divine thought to draw Shi Yong a portrait.
Shi Yong had immediately thumped his chest and said that as long as Song Yi was still on the Third Layer, he guaranteed he would find him at once.
And now—
He had fulfilled his promise too. Sure enough, he had found him.
Zhang Lingshan immediately followed Shi Yong and hurried to a Weapon Refining Room, where he saw Song Yi lying on the floor with a face ashen as death, almost only breathing in and not breathing out.

Zhang Lingshan cursed inwardly.

Right now, if he wanted to save him, he could only use a Divine Thought Crystal.
