With Xu Lingchong's status as the heir of the Young Master, even the slightest damage to his image was extremely likely to be fatal. If it was continuously publicized by people with ulterior motives, no matter how small it was, it would become a huge matter that could even affect whether he could successfully ascend to the position in the future!
Xu Lingchong understood this point even more deeply than Kang Ming Ming. He immediately threatened in a deep voice, "The No.1 Abode on the Mountain Peak, besides Kang Ming Ming, I won't let it fall into the hands of anyone. No one. Lin Yi, do you want to try?"
Lin Yi instantly laughed. He wouldn't fall for this trick. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "As expected of Young Master Xu. How impressive. Unfortunately, this is the Welcome Pavilion. Young Master Xu, what you say doesn't seem to count? Or is Young Master Xu going to overstep his authority and help Pavilion Manager Hu manage the newcomers under us? "
"Hmph, you have a sharp tongue." Xu Lingchong glared fiercely at Lin Yi, then suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, I was only joking. Young Hero Lin, do you need to be so nervous? Just as you said, this is Hu Yunfeng's territory. I naturally won't overstep my authority. "
"That's good. I thought Young Master Xu wanted to erase the spoils of war that I painstakingly won with just one sentence. If it fell into the ears of the higher-ups, wouldn't it be too inexcusable?" Lin Yi faintly smiled without fear.
A person like Xu Lingchong, who had a deep background and a bright future, was perfect in all aspects to the point of being almost invulnerable. He indeed seemed to be an extremely powerful and terrifying opponent. However, he also had a huge weakness, which was that his ambition was too great.
It was precisely because Xu Lingchong had great ambition that he had to care about his image. Not to mention sending people to assassinate Lin Yi, even a common small matter like suppressing newcomers couldn't be done because it would damage his glorious image.
Otherwise, if he really had no scruples, with the disparity in strength and status, it would be impossible for Lin Yi to deal with him unscathed until today.
Xu Lingchong's face stiffened. He could only say, "How can I make you give up the No.1 Abode on the Mountain Peak? Name a price!"
"You want me to name a price?" Lin Yi smiled meaningfully and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I've already made an agreement with the other Soaring Sky Pavilion rookies. If I let Great Deacon Kang occupy the first cave mansion at the top of the mountain in the end, wouldn't it damage my reputation?"
The meaning behind his words was clearly that he was ready to rip them off!
Xu Lingchong disdained to argue with Lin Yi, who was a newcomer at the bottom, and he disliked the feeling of being manipulated by others even more. He immediately gave Kang Ming Ming a look, indicating that he should come forward to solve the problem. After all, he was the one who made the mistake. How could he let Xu Lingchong, the boss, personally clean up his mess?
Kang Ming Ming could only bite the bullet and say, "As long as the conditions are right, nothing is impossible. Lin Yi, you should be very clear that the other Soaring Sky Pavilion rookies can't come up with better conditions than mine. Instead of letting those people benefit, it's better for you to benefit yourself, isn't it?"
"Oh? What conditions did Great Deacon Kang prepare for me? Why don't you tell me? "Lin Yi said with great interest.
Kang Ming Ming couldn't help but choke again. His weakness had fallen into Lin Yi's hands. He knew that he was definitely going to be ripped off today, and he couldn't escape. He could only say, "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. You just want spiritual jades, right? I'll give you five spiritual jades, how about it?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Five spiritual jades? The first cave mansion at the top of the mountain is only worth five spiritual jades in the eyes of Great Deacon Kang? Let me ask you, are you trying to get rid of a beggar? "
"Then … ten spiritual jades, that's a lot!" Kang Ming Ming quickly said.
"Not enough." Lin Yi raised his eyelids indifferently.
"Twenty spiritual jades, not one more. Otherwise, you can go find other people, I want to see how much they can give you!" Kang Ming Ming gritted his teeth and said.
Although the first cave mansion at the top of the mountain was good, the one-year period given to the newcomers had already passed half a year ago. In other words, Kang Ming Ming's condition was equivalent to exchanging twenty spiritual jades for the right to use the first cave mansion at the top of the mountain for half a year. There was almost no better condition than this in the world.
Of course, Kang Ming Ming was never a person who would suffer a loss for nothing. He dared to bid like this because he had seen the rumor that happened to Lin Yi before. The rumor that Lin Yi couldn't distinguish between good and bad jades, and was constantly being traded for good jades by Meng Tong and the others.
The price of twenty good jades was definitely enough to make him die of heartache, but if they were exchanged for twenty bad jades, it would be no problem, and he could get them in minutes.
Lin Yi was well aware of this. He sneered in his heart, and still said indifferently, "Great Deacon Kang, you really are a person of status. You are generous when you open your mouth. Unfortunately, I don't want your twenty spiritual jades at all."
What the hell! Kang Ming Ming almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Lin Yi with a face of disbelief. What the hell is wrong with this guy's brain? He doesn't want twenty spiritual jades at all? Who the hell do you think you are?
Could it be that this guy has already realized my bad intentions? Kang Ming Ming's heart was beating fast, and he said with a gloomy face, "Lin Yi, don't go too far. I advise you not to go too far!"
"Don't go too far? I can't tell that Great Deacon Kang is quite reasonable. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have this awareness. " Lin Yi curled his lips mockingly, and Kang Ming Ming was so embarrassed that his face turned purple. Then, he said, "Why don't I make it clear? I don't want the spiritual jades, but I want the spiritual herb seeds."
As soon as these words came out, not only Kang Ming Ming, but even Xu Lingchong was stunned. Putting twenty spiritual jades together with the spiritual herb seeds, any normal person would know which one to choose. Although the spiritual herb seeds had the hope of survival, unless it was in a professional place like the Spiritual Medicine Nursery, the possibility of survival was very small. For most people, it was basically of little value.
However, during the spiritual herb assessment, Lin Yi had once cultivated thirty-nine spiritual herb seeds out of forty. No matter what methods he used, the spiritual herb seeds might really be a money-making machine in his hands.
"How many spiritual herb seeds do you want?" Kang Ming Ming asked in a low voice.
Lin Yi didn't want the spiritual jades, and instead asked for the spiritual herb seeds. To him, it wasn't a bad thing. Anyway, because of Xu Lingchong's care, he had recently built a relationship with many people with power in the Pill Hall. Even if the spiritual flower manager of the Spiritual Medicine Nursery was lukewarm to him because of the previous incident of slandering Lin Yi, if he only wanted to get some spiritual herb seeds, it wouldn't be a problem.
