Lin Yi didn't even lift his eyelids, nor did he bother to take it. He let the intermediate-level divine equipment fall to the ground with a clatter, not even bothering to glance at it.
The scene froze for a moment.
Prince Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.
Li Ji was also taken aback, clearly not expecting Lin Yi to react this way.
In her opinion, a nobody like Lin Yi with no background would have been wagging his tail like a dog the moment he saw a mid-level divine weapon. How could he possibly remain indifferent?
However, she didn't pay any attention to it, taking it as Lin Yi's feigned modesty.
But Li Jinwang could see clearly that Lin Yi wasn't deliberately putting on an act; he genuinely didn't take this mid-level divine equipment seriously.
It even seemed to convey a sense of being used to it?
That's just how it is.
Lin Yi now possesses a plethora of Immortal Divine Gear and Pseudo-Immortal Divine Gear, with even high-level divine gear requiring a waiting list, and an abundance of mid-level divine gear that he can't even keep up with.
Do you think you can make him bow down with just a mid-tier divine item?
On the other hand, Shi Wan, despite being a noble descendant of the gods, showed a hint of reluctance in his eyes when he saw this mid-level divine equipment.
This also shows that his status in the Shi family was indeed far less glamorous than it appeared on the surface.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so hung up on a single baptismal spot.
"Stop showing off!"
Shi Wan curled his lip in front of him.
Lin Yi stood up abruptly, his tone decisive: "Senior, it seems you need to reconsider. I'll take my leave now."
Twisted melons are not sweet.
Li Jinwang's hesitant and indecisive appearance had already made his thoughts crystal clear.
He simply didn't have the guts to put all the bets on himself.
Ultimately, Lin Yi was still an outsider.
Even if he were to make a name for himself in the Divine Assembly Competition and all hopes were pinned on him, the risk would still be too great for Prince Li Jin.
Lin Yi turned and left, his steps unhurried.
Without the slightest hesitation, and without the slightest lingering attachment.
Although baptismal slots are hard to come by, as Xu Longyin said, he doesn't necessarily need one.
Even if they don't get a baptismal spot in the end, they will just follow the original plan.
At most, it will just take a little more trouble.
Upon seeing this, Shi Wan immediately sneered, his tone sharp: "What are you pretending for! You just lacked confidence and slunk away with your tail between your legs, didn't you?"
Li Ji smiled again: "Brother, you see, he was sensible and left on his own. So it's settled. I'll have someone send the exchange contract over right away."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yi had only taken a few steps when he casually raised his hand and made a sweeping motion, instantly creating a passageway in the secret realm's stone wall.
Li Jin and Wang Teng stood up, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with undisguised astonishment.
Li Ji's smile froze instantly, equally incredulous.
Only Shi Wan looked bewildered, scratching his head and asking blankly, "What are you all so surprised about? It's just a spatial passage, isn't it?"
Prince Li Jin strode forward, his voice filled with shock: "How did you do that?"
Although his secret realm is privately owned, its specifications are top-tier within the Xuanwu Divine Society, on par with the racetrack secret realm.
The protection of this secret realm is far superior to that of ordinary secret realms.
Without his permission, even the most skilled expert cannot enter or leave at will.
He had given Li Ji and her son special authorization to come in, but Lin Yi was just an outsider who was temporarily invited in from beginning to end!
Lin Yi turned around and waved casually, his tone indifferent: "It's just a small matter, I won't trouble you, senior. Farewell."
After saying that, he stepped straight into the passage and disappeared instantly.
The entire secret realm was deathly silent.
Ten breaths in total.
Li Jinwang finally came to his senses and rushed to the stone wall, his fingertips eagerly tracing the crack in the now-vanished passage.
A faint yet clear fluctuation in the underlying rules followed.
Li Jinwang was deeply shocked and even more horrified.
The underlying rules of this secret realm were actually changed by Lin Yi so casually?
This is something even he, the master of the secret realm, could never do!
As the master, he merely holds the key to the secret realm; entry and exit must be done through the main gate according to the rules.
But Lin Yi was different. Just now, he clearly thought that going through the main entrance was too troublesome, so he simply made a shortcut in the wall. He was incredibly efficient.
Li Jinwang's voice trembled as he muttered to himself, "Impossible! How could he alter the underlying rules of the secret realm?"
The underlying rules are essentially the underlying code of the secret realm.
The codes of the Xuanwu Divine Society are completely from the same source as the Track Secret Realm. Given Lin Yi's thorough understanding of the Track Secret Realm, doing this little thing was a piece of cake.
But in Li Jinwang's eyes, this was an earth-shattering ability, an absolute divine skill!
Shi Wan hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and urged anxiously, "Uncle, don't just stand there, hurry up and give me the baptism spot, I still need to prepare for the Divine Gathering Competition!"
"Shut up!"
Li Jinwang turned around abruptly, his eyes blazing with fervor, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
He got it.
I understand everything now.
Lin Yi was not some "potentially useful" investment target at all, but rather a lifeline that God had directly thrown in front of him, the only trump card that allowed him to turn the tide!
The Divine Gathering Competition is a contest of top-tier aces. Absolute strength is merely an entry ticket; the true key to victory always lies in the trump cards beyond mere strength.
For example, permissions!
The track has its own permissions, and the Xuanwu Divine Society also has its own secret realm permissions.
However, this kind of authority is extremely rare, and only a few of the top core leaders in the entire Xuanwu Divine Society can master it.
Although Li Jinwang was also a high-ranking official, he was a peasant who climbed up step by step from the bottom and had no background in this area at all.
Therefore, once the gods gather for the grand competition, he will be at a disadvantage from the very beginning, suffering an inherent disadvantage.
But Lin Yi, an outsider, actually displayed such core authority so casually!
Does someone like this really need Li Jinwang to "cultivate" him?
joke!
"Xu Longyin!"
Li Jinwang's voice was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
"exist."
Xu Longyin strode forward.
King Li Jin's tone was sharp as he ordered, "Go and invite Mr. Lin Yi back immediately, with the highest level of ceremony! I want to sign the Heavenly Dao Contract with him on the spot, the sooner the better!"
"Yes!"
Xu Longyin was overjoyed. He glanced at Li Ji and her son, whose faces were ashen and frozen, and turned to leave without hesitation.
Li Ji's face darkened, and she questioned sharply, "Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you determined to go against my husband's family?"
Without wasting any words, Li Jinwang said decisively, "I will give the baptism spot to Lin Yi. The reason is simple: he is the only one who can solve my predicament right now."
"As for the kindness shown to your husband's family..."
Li Jinwang took a deep breath: "I will repay the debt in other ways, but the baptism quota is not negotiable."
Li Ji's expression froze instantly.
"Good! Good!"
Li Ji stood up, her eyes filled with anger and resentment: "Since you say so, brother, then you'll have to handle my husband's family's affairs yourself from now on! Don't come after me again!"
Shi Wan was still in a daze when she grabbed him and pulled him away.
