The other inner court students nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Lexuan said: "Okay, let's talk about it later. Qing'er, go absorb the spirit ring first."

"Yes, senior sister."

Ji Qing stepped forward immediately, and Lin Yi also controlled the restraint to expose the head of the Juefeng Bird. Ji Qing took out a dagger and pierced it with one sword, and a deep black soul ring rose.

Lin Yi removed the restraints.

Ji Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, used his soul power to attract the soul ring and began to absorb it.

Everything went smoothly. Half an hour later, Ji Qing successfully absorbed all the soul rings. His martial soul, the Wind Bird, possessed him. Six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, moved up and down rhythmically. With six rings, he became the Soul Emperor.

"Thank you, junior brother." Ji Qing opened his eyes with joy in his eyes and gave Lin Yi a touching smile.

"You're welcome, Senior."

Zhang Lexuan did not participate in it, but sensed the body of the Juefeng Bird. Suddenly, as if sensing something, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, and she took the Juefeng Bird in her hand.

The other inner court students guessed something when they saw Zhang Lexuan's actions, and their eyes couldn't help but show a bit of heat.

He took out a dagger and disassembled the Juefeng Bird. Soon, an object that was shining brightly and emitting strong soul power fluctuations appeared in Zhang Lexuan's hand.

It was a left arm soul bone. Although it was called a left arm bone, it actually looked more like a wing. It was pure white in color, as if a breeze was wrapped around it.

The atmosphere in the team was a little strange.

Zhang Lexuan's aura suddenly exploded, a silver moon appeared behind him, and the might of the quasi-Soul Douluo suppressed the entire audience.

A look of clarity and brightness continued to appear in the eyes of the inner court students.

"We are all inner courtyard students. Although spirit bones are precious, I hope everyone knows their value."

"Ji Qing."

"exist."

"This soul bone will be distributed according to the rules of the inner courtyard. Do you have any objections?"

"No, just do as Senior Sister says."

Lin Yi gently tugged at Lin Qingxuan's collar and whispered, "Dad, what are the inner courtyard rules?"

Lin Qingxuan said softly, "The so-called inner courtyard rules are that whoever kills the monster alone gets the soul bone. If it's a joint kill, whoever needs it can take it, but they have to make corresponding compensation to the others."

Lin Yi suddenly realized that although this rule was simple, it was fair. To put it bluntly, it was distribution according to work.

Then, Zhang Lexuan asked, "Xiaoyi, you were the one who basically killed this Absolute Wind Bird, and Qing'er only finished it off. So you own 90% of this soul bone, Qing'er owns 50%, and the rest of us own 50% together. If you want this soul bone, when we return to the academy, you only need to compensate the others with 10% of its value."

Lin Yi looked at Ji Qing. He had a good impression of this senior who had just supported him. He watched Ji Qing looking at the soul bone with some longing.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said, "Senior, do you want this soul bone?"

"Who wouldn't want a soul bone? But this time it was mainly you who did the hard work, so it's only right that it belongs to you." Ji Qing's words were unexpectedly casual.

"Then this soul bone belongs to you."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned when he heard this, and the expressions of the other inner courtyard students also changed.

Ji Qing's face lit up with joy at first, but then he realized, "Junior brother, don't joke with me about this kind of thing. This is a soul bone! A ten-thousand-year soul bone! A twenty-thousand-year-old Absolute Wind Bird's left arm bone!"

Lin Yi's expression was calm, "I know."

"I know you still..." Ji Qing didn't know what to say, and looked at Lin Qingxuan, "Dean Lin, look at this..."

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, "Since Xiaoyi said so, then it's his own decision. As a father, I can only support him and have no reason to oppose him."

Zhang Lexuan saw that Lin Yi's expression didn't seem joking, and Lin Qingxuan also agreed, so he said, "In that case, Qing'er, you can absorb this soul bone. Remember to compensate Lin Yi when the time comes."

After taking a deep look at Lin Yi, Ji Qing said gratefully, "Thank you very much, junior brother."

"You're welcome, Senior Sister. The spirit rings and spirit bones produced by spirit beasts are best absorbed together."

Ji Qing was no longer polite. He just kept Lin Yi's kindness in his heart, took the soul bone from Zhang Lexuan's hand, and began to absorb it immediately.

The expressions of the other inner court students also changed when they looked at Lin Yi. That was a 20,000-year-old high-quality soul bone, and he just gave it away like that?

Even if there was compensation, everyone knew that a high-quality soul bone was hard to come by, not to mention that Lin Yi owned 90% of this soul bone, so it was definitely his, yet he gave it away like that!

Dean Lin didn't even stop him. What kind of family could make Lin Yi such a spendthrift?

But no matter what the inner court students thought, a consensus emerged among them: Lin Yi was a man to be dealt with! Even if he was a spendthrift, he would actually give him benefits.

Zhang Lexuan walked up to Lin Yi with a hint of a smile on her face, "Xiaoyi, are you going to give away a ten thousand year old soul bone like that?"

Lin Yi's expression was calm. "It's just a ten thousand year old soul bone."

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are already considered rare treasures, yet you don't even care about them? Even if they don't suit your attributes, it's still good to keep them and exchange them for other soul bones that suit you later. After all, soul bones are too precious and there's no market for them. Most people prefer to barter for them."

Lin Yi said disdainfully: "A mere ten thousand years, how can it be worthy of my talent."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan burst into a bell-like laugh, causing the male students on guard outside to secretly look at her.

After laughing, Zhang Lexuan still felt a little regretful, "It only costs a few hundred thousand gold soul coins, it would be great if I could keep it."

Lin Yi smiled when he heard this, "Sister Le Xuan, my family is just an ordinary clothing store, where can I get hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins?"

Lin Qingxuan, who had been smiling as he watched the brother and sister chatting, suddenly froze.

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but look at Lin Qingxuan, "Senior, haven't you told him?"

Lin Yi asked curiously, "What did you say?"

"Have you always thought your home was just an ordinary clothing store?" Zhang Lexuan's expression was a little complicated.

Lin Yi seemed to understand what mistake he had made and nodded hesitantly.

"Don't you know that Chenxi Clothing Store is famous in mainland China?" Zhang Lexuan said helplessly.

"???"

"Chenxi Clothing, a clothing store that specializes in high-end custom-made clothing, has become world-renowned in just ten years for its exquisite fabrics, complex craftsmanship, and stringent standards. Countless nobles flock to it, spending millions of gold just to obtain the right to customize clothing. Not only in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but even in the Sun and Moon Empire, there are nobles who are proud to wear a piece of Chenxi's high-end clothing."

"There are branches of Dawn Clothing stores in almost every major city on the mainland. Even if your parents stayed in Shrek City every day and did nothing, their annual revenue would still be over 100 million Gold Soul Coins. Furthermore, the main store in Shrek City is also busy. They only produce 20 high-end custom-made sets each year, with prices ranging from hundreds of millions to tens of millions."

After finishing this long string of words, Zhang Lexuan took a breath and said helplessly, "Where on earth did you get the idea that your parents couldn't even come up with hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins?"

Lin Yi had already been stunned. What did he just hear?

Haute couture? Luxury goods exist in this world? Who has such a business acumen?

Besides, he really seemed to be a second-generation rich kid? Not the breakfast shop owner I'd previously thought, but a wealthy second-generation rich kid who controlled top-tier luxury goods across four continents.

He was just as self-righteous as before, thinking his parents' cultivation was just average...

As if his son wasn't already under attack, Lin Qingxuan added, "Xiaoyi, Dad is at least a level seven soul master. There's no way our family is short of money."

"But hasn't Dad been helping the academy make soul guides?"

"Then the academy can't help but pay. In fact, because they feel embarrassed to take advantage of me, the academy should pay more. After all, the academy has money."

Seeing Lin Yi's dazed look, Lin Qingxuan dropped a bombshell, "I haven't been a Level 7 Soul Engineer for long, only about five years, but my annual income from making Soul Guidance Devices for the Academy is over 150 million Gold Soul Coins. Before, when my level was lower, it was less, but only around 10 million a year."

Looking at his completely dazed son, Lin Qingxuan patted his son's shoulder with his big hand and said, "Xiaoyi, you must remember that anyone who can become a high-level spirit master cannot be poor."

Lin Yi took a long time to finally accept the fact that his family was actually very rich, but then, thinking of the high-quality soul bone just now, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little heartbroken. That was all his own money!

Millions! I've never seen so much small change in my two lifetimes combined!

Before, I only knew that my family had no worries about food and clothing, and that they could open a store in Shrek City, so I just thought they were a wealthy family, but this...

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Yi suddenly asked: "Since Dad doesn't need this little money, why didn't he stop me?"

"How would I know you didn't want it because you had no money? I thought you wanted to develop your own foundation in the academy."

Lin Qingxuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"It was only after seeing these students that I realized why Master Mu agreed to let you come. On the one hand, it was to train you, but on the other hand, these students basically have no power background and most of them will stay in the academy in the future. Master Mu asked you to come so that you can establish some connections with them in advance."

Looking at the thoughtful Lin Yi, without avoiding Zhang Lexuan, Lin Qingxuan continued, "These students are all very talented. When you grow up, they will be your support. It's worth it to use a soul bone that won't be used for ten thousand years to win the heart of a top genius."

Lin Qingxuan seemed to be glowing as he spoke eloquently. This was the true value of the man who had become the first auxiliary captain of the Shrek Seven Devils with his strategy and command.

After Lin Yi sorted things out, he let out a long sigh and said calmly, "I understand."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Lexuan who was standing aside with a calm expression, "Sister Lexuan, won't you feel uncomfortable?"

"What's the big deal? It's just a normal method. They get benefits and pay loyalty. They just get what they need."

Lin Yi looked at the two of them and suddenly realized that he still had a lot to learn.

Shrek Academy does not stand proudly in the world by relying on so-called glory.

It should have been understood long ago that getting to the top is not just about shouting slogans, but about real strength and interests.

After figuring this out, Lin Yi discovered that the so-called faith in the Sea God and the relationship between Shrek Academy wasn't so unbreakable. What he was about to do might be much easier than he had imagined...

Chapter 54 Purple Shadow Lion

Ji Qing quickly completed the absorption of the soul bone, and his aura began to rise slightly again. Then the group continued to look for a suitable soul beast.

Another hour later, Zhang Lexuan looked out at the darkening sky and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today. We'll leave the Xingdou Great Forest to rest and come back tomorrow."

"Yes, senior sister."

Compared to their cautiousness during the search, everyone left much faster.

As dusk fell, Lin Yi's golden perception became much less effective. Fortunately, the team had a safe journey and successfully retreated to the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After a day of getting along, the inner courtyard students became much more familiar with Lin Yi. They set up tents, lit a bonfire, and sat around the bonfire, eating dry food and chatting. Their relationship became visibly more familiar.

Not letting everyone play for too long, Zhang Lexuan soon asked everyone to go back and rest, saying that they needed to conserve their energy for searching for soul beasts tomorrow.

The title of the eldest sister in the inner courtyard was well-deserved, and everyone dispersed.

The outside of the tent immediately fell into silence, with only the crackling sound of the campfire that had not yet been extinguished, adding another layer of silence to the dark night.

The Moon Rabbit flies westward, the Golden Crow rises eastward, and endless light and heat pour down upon the earth.

In the camp outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Yi walked out of the tent and greeted the inner courtyard students. Even the student who had been targeted earlier, after the campfire conversation last night, recognized Lin Yi as a junior in the inner courtyard.

After all, Lin Yi has proven himself with his own strength. He was able to enter the inner courtyard based on his real ability, not the influence of his parents or the shady assessment process.

Anyone who was able to be placed in the inner courtyard of the Soul Hunting Team by Moon, who had planned it in advance, would naturally not be a person with a bad character. If he spoke openly, there would naturally be no problem.

After a brief rest, with Zhang Lexuan's order, everyone headed towards the Star Dou Forest again.

The weather is excellent today. Even in the Starry Forest, which is full of lush ancient trees, beams of light can be seen everywhere among the leaves, adding a sense of liveliness to the quiet and deep Starry Forest.

The increase in the concentration of light elements also boosted Lin Yi's mood. Lin Yi, who was originally still a little reluctant to get enough rest, felt much better in an instant.

At the same time, under the influence of Lin Yi's golden perception, the information provided by Guangming to Lin Yi has a wider range and more detailed content.

The improvement in Lin Yi's perception range and accuracy naturally led to a sharp increase in the team's mobility.

"One thousand meters ahead, there's a ten-thousand-year soul beast, suspected to be a ghost tiger."

……

"One thousand five hundred meters to the right, a group of soul beasts are attacking here. There are no less than sixty of them. The strongest one should be a 30,000-year-old soul beast. I suspect it's a blood-red baboon."

……

"Eight hundred meters to the left, there's a twenty-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Iris Falcon."

……

Relying on his golden perception and the rich knowledge accumulated in the library, Guangming only needs to tell Lin Yi the general appearance of the soul beast, and he can judge the type of soul beast based on this. If the appearance features are obvious or the distance is close, judging the age of the soul beast is not difficult.

The Soul Hunting Team went from being shocked at first to being numb later, and finally reached a consensus that this guy was a complete pervert!

How could there be someone who is perfect in everything from talent to strength to theory!

Being able to enter the inner courtyard, every student present was once praised as a genius. If not invincible among their peers, they also had few rivals. Until today, seeing Lin Yi achieve things that they could not do even if they tried their best at a younger age, these geniuses in the inner courtyard finally understood that there are differences between geniuses.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Some people are called geniuses because they have few rivals among their peers, while some people are called geniuses because they are geniuses right there.

Looking at Lin Yi, who seemed a little lazy while riding on the Star Unicorn, these geniuses felt like looking up to him for the first time.

Lin Qingxuan was keenly aware of this emotion, and a subtle hint of talent appeared at the corner of his mouth. With this emotion, it would undoubtedly be much easier to subdue these geniuses and make them Lin Yi's helpers in the future when they grow up.

Zhang Lexuan naturally noticed it as well, but as a direct descendant of Shrek Academy, she knew very well that Lin Yi would become the one in charge of Shrek in the future, so she was naturally happy to see the current situation happen.

Or perhaps, this was exactly what Moon had originally thought.
