9532 Chapter 9531-
It was only after experiencing the backlash from Xu Anshan that he had learned from the painful experience and become more wary of the elites of the aristocratic families. Otherwise, the domain doubling technique might have already reached a higher level and become a public course for all students to learn.
“Senior, if you’re focusing on the grassroots, why don’t you just recruit more disciples and promote this technique?” Lin Yi asked.
Even if one’s personal freedom was restricted, there were still many grassroots cultivators in the Academy’s prison. Even if there were requirements for character, if one really wanted to pass it down, there would be many people.
“Actually, I’ve already tried,” the old man said with a bitter smile.
“Then why …”
Lin Yi blinked, deep in thought.
Han Qi explained on his behalf,”when I was still the chief of the Academy, I wanted to include the domain doubling technique in the public course. All students could learn it at a very low price. I made a lot of preparations for this and discussed it with all the forces.”
“The various forces did not object directly, but they put forward a condition. In order to ensure that there are no side effects, they must first let their elite disciples try it.”
“The half-master has agreed.”
“But the end result was that all the forces took the opportunity to monopolize the domain multiplication technique. In order to prevent the lower-class grassroots from learning it, they found a Grand reason and monopolized the technique in the name of the Academy’s safety.”
“After that, Xu Anshan suddenly turned against half of my master. The various forces not only joined forces to strengthen him, but they also forcefully imprisoned him. This is the root of it.”
“They’re afraid that the founder of the domain doubling technique, the half-master, will affect their monopoly on this technique. Isn’t that funny?”
Lin Yi couldn’t bring himself to laugh at the ridiculous joke.
The opposition between the elites and the grassroots had been like this since ancient times. The elites had to monopolize resources in order to maintain their status, while the grassroots had to snatch resources in order to obtain their status. The conflict was fundamentally irreconcilable.
The old man wanted to open his eyes for the grass and ended up in this state. It sounded absurd, but it was completely within his expectations.
In the end, one’s butt decided everything.
Lin Yi understood the old man’s concerns. The school prison was under his rule now, and although it was showing signs of an independent kingdom, it still had to be under the jurisdiction of an outside world.
If he really stepped on the red line between the various forces, not only the Academy, but even the school board and the repeat students would interfere at any time.
At that time, there would only be two outcomes.
They would either be transferred to an isolated place, or they would be directly killed to avoid future trouble.
From a certain perspective, the old man’s interaction with Lin Yi today had crossed the line. As expected, there would be reactions from the other forces.
They might target the old man, but of course, they could also target Lin Yi!
The old man didn’t continue with the heavy topic and gave Lin Yi some pointers. As the creator of the domain doubling technique, it wasn’t just the domain itself that he understood. His understanding and depth of knowledge of domains were also at the top level.
In the entire Jianghai Academy, there were only a handful of people who could be compared to the old man in this aspect.
As for those who were completely above him, there was probably not a single one. At most, there were only a few people who could be at the same level as him, and each had their own merits in their own fields.
A word or two from someone like that would benefit Lin Yi greatly, and save him a lot of time and effort.
Not to mention, it was a systematic and comprehensive explanation!
Lin Yi spent two whole days in the school’s prison. After saying goodbye to the old man, he came out feeling like he’d been reborn.
To be honest, Lin Yi’s talent in practitioning was unparalleled. The higher the realm, the more obvious his talent was. Even though he had only just come into contact with the domain, Lin Yi’s understanding and exploration of the domain were already far above many veteran domain masters.
However, compared to the real top figures, it was inevitable that they were still shallow.
With Lin Yi’s comprehension, there was a high chance he could get there on his own, but he’d have to take a lot more detours.
The old man’s advice saved Lin Yi at least ten years of fumbling!
Just this point alone was worth as much to Lin Yi as learning the domain doubling technique, perhaps even more!
He didn’t have much hope for this trip to the school’s prison, but it was a huge gain for him. It was even more meaningful than the martial arts Society battle.
After today, Lin Yi’s domain could be considered to have broken away from the wild path of solo exploration-he’d truly obtained a deep foundation that was enough to push all the way to the top!
“From now on, you’re considered half a master and half a student. Sooner or later, you’ll become a thorn in their eyes. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Han Qi warned.
Although Lin Yi didn’t make his stand clear, but since he’d received such a huge benefit, he’d naturally taken a side. If the news of him staying in the Academy’s prison for a whole day with Han Qi got out, no matter what Lin Yi thought, he’d definitely be put on the old man’s side.
“Even if I’m not a half-master, I’m still a natural thorn in my side,” Lin Yi smiled.
“Why?” Han Qi was surprised.
“Because the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind,” Lin Yi said, looking up at the sky.
“……”
Han Qi snorted,”in terms of narcissism, you’re indeed the best. Of all the people I’ve met, you’re number one.”
Although he said that, he agreed with Lin Yi’s self-evaluation. With Lin Yi’s personality of always making big news, it was impossible for him to not be in the limelight.
Once he showed off too much, wouldn’t he become a thorn in the flesh of others!
“Why does everyone call senior half-master?”
Lin Yi changed the topic-half-master wasn’t his real name, it was a traditional way of addressing him.
Han Qi answered with a smile,”his real name is Luo. Because he never hid anything and often guided everyone in their cultivation, everyone used to call him teacher Luo. However, he was rejected. They said that he did not mean to be everyone’s teacher, but only wanted to do his best to guide the direction of the vast majority of the grassroots so that they would not take a few detours.”
“We couldn’t change his mind, so we could only follow his wishes. But how we should address him is still a problem.”
“Later on, an extremely astute person came up with a good idea. Since he was half a teacher to everyone, why don’t we just call him half-teacher Luo? everyone praised him, and the half-teacher had no choice but to acquiesce.”
“You’re not the one with the wisest mind, are you?”Lin Yi asked, confused.
Han Qi laughed proudly,”good eyes!” As expected of a talent that I’ve personally discovered!”
“Excavate, your sister.”
Lin Yi didn’t know what to say, but he couldn’t hold it in any longer and broke into a smile as well.
In the beginning, he and Han Qi wanted to use each other. Han Qi saw Lin Yi’s potential and wanted to use him as a chess piece, while Lin Yi saw the background of the secret department of the Disciplinary Committee. They needed a layer of protection when they first arrived, so they both had a tacit understanding.
After that, when Lin Yi created one piece of news after another that shook the entire school, especially when he became the 10th newcomer King, Han Qi’s attitude changed. He now treated Lin Yi as an equal.
