Chapter 12999
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised: "Old Zhao, is there something you need? I can come over anytime."
Jin Buhuan nodded: "Alright, I'll report back to Elder Zhao right away."
After hanging up the call, Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a glance: "What could Zhao Gongming possibly want from me?"
Zhang Baiyu shook his head slightly: "It should not be a small matter, but it should not be a difficult matter for adults. The people from the God of Wealth Academy are experts in interpersonal relationships."
Lin Yi smiled.
Before long, a teleportation channel appeared in front of him. Lin Yi stepped into it and arrived directly at the exclusive reception secret realm of the God of Wealth Academy.
Zhao Gongming had already brewed tea and was waiting across from him.
"You've come at the perfect time. This is a top-grade spiritual tea that a friend brought back from the core area of the Divine Realm. Could you try it for me?"
Zhao Gongming greeted Lin Yi while pouring him tea.
Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly.
When you offer a gift, you must have something in mind.
It seems that today's matter is quite important to Zhao Gongming.
Lin Yi took a bite and immediately felt an extremely refreshing and mysterious energy rush to his scalp, making him feel exceptionally clear and refreshed.
Lin Yi praised it highly: "It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade spiritual tea. If it weren't for Elder Zhao's blessing, I wouldn't have been able to drink this."
Zhao Gongming chuckled and said, "I'm glad you like it. A friend brought me two jin, and I'll give you one jin."
Lin Yi was flattered and joked with a smile, "Old Zhao, you've gone to such great lengths, I'm not really ready to accept."
Zhao Gongming smiled and pointed at him: "It's just a little bit of spiritual tea, what are you thinking?"
Lin Yi immediately stopped refusing and accepted it readily.
The two chatted idly for a while.
Lin Yi then asked, "Old Zhao, you're a very busy man, you wouldn't invite me for tea unless it's absolutely necessary. So just tell me, is there anything you can do for me?"
Zhao Gongming said frankly, "Then I won't hide anything anymore. I heard from someone that you found eight breakthrough points for people in Tianjun?"
Lin Yi nodded: "That's true, but the eight breakthroughs we found have already been taken by those eight academies of gods."
Zhao Gongming waved his hand: "I don't intend to compete with them. What I mean is, is there a ninth breakthrough point in Tianjun?"
Lin Yi was taken aback: "The God of Wealth Academy is also going to build an outpost? If I remember correctly, you don't have tickets to the Mystic Realm, do you?"
"We don't have it."
Zhao Gongming said meaningfully, "However, not having an admission ticket does not necessarily mean that one cannot participate in this opportunity of the main god in Tianjun."
"But don't misunderstand, our God of Wealth Academy isn't very interested in the final battle for the main god's opportunity."
"But we have a special investment mechanism internally, and this is an excellent investment opportunity."
He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "If I can secure this investment opportunity for the academy this time, it will greatly benefit my personal advancement."
Lin Yi suddenly realized: "Since it will help Elder Zhao, then I'll take care of this ninth breakthrough."
Zhao Gongming was delighted upon hearing this: "Are you sure you're confident?"
Lin Yi smiled meaningfully: "I am, after all, a local bigwig in Tianjun, so I still have this kind of advantage."
Zhao Gongming immediately understood, pointed at Lin Yi and laughed, "I knew it! Nine academies vying for eight breakthrough points? What a coincidence! You're so cunning."
Lin Yi smiled and took a sip of spiritual tea: "There's no other way. My strength is insufficient, so I can only resort to tricks to protect myself."
In order to isolate Li Tianxing, he had specifically marked eight points of attack. In fact, there were a few more hidden ones that he had not pointed out to Li Tianxing. These were all backup plans he had prepared for himself.
Now is the perfect time to give one to Zhao Gongming as a favor.
Zhao Gongming was in high spirits: "I heard you're going to bid for the Immortal Divine Gear? If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you solve them."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Old Zhao is too kind. If I need anything, I will definitely ask Old Zhao."
Zhao Gongming was somewhat surprised, but then he understood.
If Lin Yi were to ask for his help, he would naturally try to satisfy him.
However, this would turn it into a one-off deal.
After that, it wasn't so easy for Lin Yi to ask him for help again.
In comparison, it's naturally more effective to make him owe someone a favor.
Once he understood this, Zhao Gongming not only felt no dissatisfaction, but also admired Lin Yi even more.
He had deliberately tried to win over Lin Yi because he saw Lin Yi's great potential, but if someone only has potential but doesn't know how to conduct themselves, then it's destined to be short-lived.
Looking back now, Zhao Gongming genuinely felt that investing in Lin Yi was a wise and correct decision.
The two chatted for a while, and their relationship grew much closer without them even realizing it.
After seeing Lin Yi off, Zhao Gongming turned around and summoned Jin Buhuan.
He didn't intend to repay Lin Yi's huge favor right away.
After all, relationships are built on mutual favors and obligations; only when you owe me something and I owe you something can they last.
However, if Lin Yi has any small favors right now, he will naturally help if he can.
Jin Buhuan thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Lin may not have enough chips to participate in the Immortal Divine Equipment Auction."
“I heard before that he obtained a lot of materials for synthesizing divine equipment from the eight academies of gods, and he should be synthesizing a batch of intermediate divine equipment.”
"In addition, Young Master Lin also inquired about exchanging intermediate-level divine equipment for advanced-level divine equipment, so he must have a need for it."
Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment: "It's indeed inconvenient for him to exchange for divine equipment in Tianjun, but if the academy buys it, the price is too low..."
Even if he is a core elder, there are some things he cannot do openly and directly overstep the rules of the God of Wealth Academy, as that would not be a good thing for either himself or Lin Yi.
Jin Buhuan suggested, "How about this: you introduce Young Master Lin to a large chamber of commerce, and let the chamber of commerce handle the acquisition. That way, everyone will be satisfied."
"That's not bad."
Zhao Gongming nodded: "Recently, the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce has been coming to me, wanting to upgrade their cooperation level. You can tell them about this and ask them to take the lead."
Jin Buhuan nodded solemnly: "I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
The next day, two Heavenly Pillars descended from the sky and landed on the New Heavenly Palace Square.
A beautiful young woman emerged from the Heavenly Pillar, followed by an elderly man who appeared to be a steward.
The woman glanced at the new Heavenly Palace in front of her.
"This is Tianjun?"
She looked away with some disappointment: "It's smaller than I thought."
Soon, Zhang Baiyu and his men came out to greet them: "You two must be distinguished guests of the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce? My name is Zhang Baiyu, and I have come to welcome you on the orders of my master, Lin Yi."
The woman glanced at him and smiled slightly: "I am Mo Beibei from the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce, and this is Manager Wu."
Zhang Baiyu gestured for them to come in: "My master has ordered a banquet to be prepared. Please come in."
He and Lin Yi had previously received a message from Jin Buhuan saying that the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce had sent someone to their door to purchase intermediate-level divine equipment. (End of Chapter)
