Ultimately, the two academies were not of one mind; infighting and backstabbing were the norm.
If it were simply that, Elder Yuehua wouldn't be surprised.
When she saw the chips the other party added later, her eyelids twitched.
"A quota for a 10-foot-tall Dharma Image!"
Elder Yuehua couldn't help but give Yuan Chu a deep look, secretly sneering, "They really are willing to spend a lot!"
Compared to a few mid-level divine equipment pieces, the quota for a one-zhang Dharma Aspect is naturally much more precious.
Normally, all the quotas for Dharma Image are controlled by the major divine associations, but this is only in the formalities.
In reality, powerful institutions like the various university palaces had already predetermined these spots, and the transfer of these spots would only happen within their own organizations, at most just going through the motions at the various divine associations.
With the resources of the Beast God Academy, it wouldn't be difficult to offer a spot for a one-zhang Dharma Aspect, but it's definitely not a trivial matter.
After all, the number of slots at this level is extremely limited, no matter where you are. Even your own people can't get them all, let alone give them to outsiders.
Whether exchanging a one-zhang Dharma Form slot for a ticket to the Mystic Realm, which may not even yield any benefits, is a profit or a loss is hard to say.
Seeing Yuan Chu looking at him with a respectful smile, Elder Yuehua couldn't help but sneer inwardly, and finally gritted her teeth and increased the stakes at the last moment.
After reading the two bids, Lin Yi immediately announced: "The Beast God Academy bids for three mid-level divine equipment pieces plus one spot for a one-zhang Dharma Aspect."
"The Goddess Academy has offered three pieces of intermediate-level divine equipment, one spot for a one-zhang-long Dharma Aspect, and a scroll of a secret technique at the level of a Dharma God."
Upon seeing this, Yuan Chu was immediately shocked. He looked at Elder Yuehua with suspicion and finally smiled coldly: "Elder Yuehua is indeed skilled. I have learned my lesson today."
Elder Yuehua gave a curt smirk: "Likewise."
The so-called God-level secret techniques sound incredibly valuable, even priceless in some respects.
However, for the Goddess Academy, it is actually the least valuable item.
To be precise, there was actually no loss in any real sense.
Unlike the quota for Dharma Aspects and high-level divine equipment, once one is given out, there is one less available.
Even if the secret techniques of Dharma Imagery are spread, as long as they are not closely guarded secrets, there will be no substantial loss.
The Goddess Academy has no shortage of sycophants, and these sycophants will always offer up what they think is the most precious thing, the most common of which are various kinds of Dharma-image secret techniques.
This time, she directly used it as a price, which was beneficial to the Goddess Academy without costing it anything, and it just happened to outbid the Beast God Academy. No matter what, they wouldn't lose out.
Lin Yi announced on the spot: "In that case, this ticket to the Mystic Realm today belongs to the Goddess Academy."
Elder Yuehua asked impatiently, "Now can you give me the admission ticket?"
Lin Yi looked at her calmly and said, "Cash on delivery."
Elder Yuehua glanced at Yuan Chu, who was still unwilling to give up, and fearing that something else might happen, she immediately stopped dawdling and handed over three pieces of intermediate-level divine equipment and a scroll of a magic god-level secret technique to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took it and glanced at it.
Since they're being offered as a price, neither mid-level divine equipment nor magical spells are truly rare or high-quality items, but they're still within the required grade and can't be considered bad.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes: "What about the quota for the one-zhang Dharma Form?"
This is the real highlight.
Elder Yuehua gave him a disdainful look: "All the quotas for Dharma Aspects are managed by the Divine Assembly. Even if a handover is made, it can only be done at the Divine Assembly. Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
Lin Yi looked at her: "Then how can I make sure you won't renege on your debt?"
Elder Yuehua laughed in anger: "We are the Goddess Academy, not some lowlife! How could we go back on our word for something promised to you in public? What do you take the Goddess Academy for?"
Lin Yi, however, remained resolute, saying, "In that case, I'll wait until I get the quota for the first-zhang Dharma Aspect before giving you this ticket to the Mystic Realm."
"That won't do."
Elder Yuehua's expression changed.
At this very moment, countless forces are eyeing us covetously.
Putting everything else aside, the Beast God Academy alone is definitely not a friendly force.
If we don't get our hands on the ticket to the Mystic Realm now, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
Lin Yi just stared at her quietly, showing no intention of backing down.
After much deliberation, Elder Yuehua finally said, "How about this? I swear to the Heavenly Dao in the name of the Goddess Academy that I will transfer the one-zhang Dharma Aspect quota to you. Is that alright?"
Lin Yi continued, "How will you transfer it?"
Elder Yuehua said helplessly, "We will inform the Xuanwu Divine Society to transfer the one-zhang Dharma Form quota belonging to our Goddess Academy to you."
Lin Yi remained unmoved: "Then you can notify them now."
Elder Yuehua said speechlessly, "Even if I inform the Xuanwu Divine Society now to give you the spot, how will you verify it? Do you have the ability to do so?"
Lin Yi said calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. I have my own ways of verifying it."
Elder Yuehua had no choice but to comply.
A moment later, Lin Yi received a message from Xu Longyin.
"The quota for the One-Zhang Dharma Image has been allocated to Tianjun."
Lin Yi nodded and handed the entrance ticket to the Mystic Realm to the other party.
Elder Yuehua finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving her admission ticket.
She glanced at Yin Wuji, who was standing beside her like a dead dog: "I'm taking him with me too."
This time, Lin Yi didn't make things difficult and waved his hand, saying, "Suit yourself."
Yin Wuji wasn't of much value to him anyway. Since he had already squeezed some money out of the Goddess Academy, there was no need to offend them to the point of no return.
There's no need to get hung up on such trivial details.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Elder Yuehua gave Lin Yi a deep look, then immediately led Yin Wuji into the Heavenly Dao Pillar and left Tianjun in the blink of an eye.
Only Yuan Chu and the onlookers remained in the room.
Yuan Chu raised his chin at Lin Yi: "I've cooperated with everything I was supposed to. You promised me, so don't go back on your word."
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "When have I ever gone back on my word, Brother Yuan?"
"That's good."
Yuan Chu nodded in satisfaction.
Although there have been many conflicts between the two, they are ultimately just a clash of positions. Yuan Chu still trusts Lin Yi's integrity quite a bit.
Watching Yuan Chu leave, Zhang Baiyu asked curiously, "What exactly did the master promise him that made him cooperate so willingly?"
While others might have been kept in the dark about what just happened, he saw it all clearly.
It was clearly a charade put on by Lin Yi and Yuan Chu for Elder Yuehua.
To put it bluntly, Yuan Chu's appearance here today is not on the orders of the Beast God Academy to bid for the entrance ticket to the Mystic Realm, but rather he is here specifically to act as a shill for Lin Yi.
