Chapter 1031: One thousand and twenty-nine, exchange quotas

Lin Jue furrowed his brows in distress, hesitated for a long while, and then finally began to speak: "The four of you, please take a seat for now. I need to discuss this matter with the elders before reaching a decision." As he spoke, he stood up and headed toward the inner room of the reception hall.

Elder Mu and his group quickly got up and followed Lin Jue. This feeling of holding the reins of power was truly delightful.

The elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island exchanged glances, letting out a resigned sigh in their hearts. When had they ever been reduced to begging like this? The bitterness of it left them stifled.

Time passed, bit by bit, second by second, and the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island grew increasingly anxious with each passing moment.

At last, the sound of footsteps approached, and Lin Jue emerged with the other elders in tow.

The elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island immediately perked up, their gazes fixed intently upon Lin Jue.

Lin Jue took his seat at the head of the room, then smiled and looked toward the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island. "After discussing with several elders, we’ve decided to offer four spots. Here are the terms for each spot; take a look."

Elder Mu handed two pieces of paper to the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island. Written on them were the terms they had just negotiated, and this time, they had shown no mercy. If they didn’t seize this opportunity to fleece them, there wouldn’t be another chance later.

The elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island took the papers and looked at the contents. The more they read, the darker their faces grew. The people of the Liangyi Sect truly had no shame—setting terms this outrageous! The resources demanded for these two spots alone were equivalent to half a year’s expenses for their sects.

"Isn’t this a bit excessive?" Elder Wang of the Sky Water Sect asked.

"Yes, could you lower it just a little?" Elder Qi of Great Mahayana Island nodded in agreement.

Lin Jue’s lips curled into a faint, almost mocking smile. "Our sect also needs these spots. If you feel they’re not worth it, then do as you wish." After all, Liangyi Sect’s relationship with the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island wasn’t good to begin with. Giving them these spots was already a gesture of magnanimity.

Hearing this, the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island realized that lowering the terms was impossible. They clenched their teeth in silent frustration. "It’s decided then. But four spots really aren’t enough. Sect Master Lin, could you give us the remaining spots as well?"

"Yes, we’re willing to exchange based on the terms you’ve outlined." Right now, securing the spots was paramount.

"You’re putting me in a difficult position," Lin Jue replied deliberately.

"Sect Master Lin, please agree to it."

"We truly need these spots right now."

Lin Jue sighed and looked toward the elders. "What do you all think?"

The elders exchanged glances before Elder Mu spoke. "Sect Master, I believe the additional spots can be given, but since these spots have already been allocated to the disciples, there should be some compensation provided to them."

"I agree with that."

"I concur as well." The elders voiced their opinions one after another.

Lin Jue nodded slightly and turned his gaze back to the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island. "If you wish to take the remaining spots, you will need to bear the compensation for the four disciples. After all, these spots allow entry to the Heaven Realm. If we give them to you, we must also provide an explanation to our disciples."

"We’ll provide it!" Elder Wang of the Sky Water Sect gritted his teeth. Could they refuse at this point? No matter how shameless the terms, they had to agree.

"What kind of compensation is required? Please tell us." Elder Qi of Great Mahayana Island’s voice trembled slightly. Now they truly comprehended what the pinnacle of shamelessness looked like.

"Let’s go with half of what we previously discussed; I won’t ask for much." Lin Jue smiled brightly, a trace of pride flickering across his face. If they came to him willingly to be fleeced, not taking advantage would truly be foolish.

The elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island took a deep breath and nodded. "Fine!" They had no choice but to swallow their bitterness along with their broken teeth.

Each one took out their Storage Rings and handed them to Elder Mu. "Check them and see if everything is in order." The price they paid this time was staggering.

Elder Mu received the Storage Rings, inspected them with his Divine Sense, and nodded. "Everything is correct."

He stepped forward and handed the two Storage Rings to Lin Jue. "Sect Master!"

Lin Jue smiled and nodded as he received the Storage Rings. Then, he took out eight Tokens and handed them to Elder Mu.

Elder Mu took the Tokens and walked over to the elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island, handing them over. "Please, take them!"

The elders of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island promptly reached out to accept the Tokens, then looked toward Lin Jue. "Thank you, Sect Master Lin! We’ll take our leave now." They couldn’t stand to stay here another moment; they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to lash out.

Watching the hasty retreat of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island elders, Lin Jue and the remaining elders couldn’t suppress their laughter any longer.

"Seeing them get fleeced yet dare not speak out was absolutely satisfying."

"This time, the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island really suffered massive losses. Too bad we can only fleece them once."

"If this happened a few more times, the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island would surely go to war with us, hahaha..."

After briefly reuniting with Yun Han, Xiao Yao, and Ye Lifeng, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo arranged for them to stay at the Qi Inn in the Liangyi Sect’s marketplace. In two days, they would board the Immortal Ship to the Heaven Realm.

As soon as they returned to the sect, a disciple approached them. "Junior Brother Lu, Junior Sister Luo, Sect Master has asked for you."

"Understood!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo responded and headed toward the direction of the main peak.

Lin Jue stood with his hands behind his back on the Observation Deck, watching the disciples practice their martial techniques. When he noticed Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo approaching, the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

"Sect Master!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo greeted Lin Jue as they stepped onto the Observation Deck.

"Have a seat," Lin Jue gestured to the stone table and chairs nearby, then walked over to sit down himself.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo sat down across from Lin Jue.

Lin Jue took out two Storage Rings and handed them to Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. "In two days, you’ll be leaving for the Heaven Realm. The resources within these Storage Rings are a token of goodwill from me and the elders of the Liangyi Sect. Please accept them without reserve." In his heart, Lin Jue felt immense gratitude toward Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo; without them, the Liangyi Sect wouldn’t be where it was today.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo nodded and put away the Storage Rings.

Lin Jue smiled. "When you arrive in the Heaven Realm, be extremely cautious in all things. The Heaven Realm has many powerful individuals. Above the Top Ten Sects are the Four Great Families—these are the forces most formidable of all. Avoid provoking them at all costs."
