Chapter Ten: Trafficking in Quotas

  "What? You're really willing to give up your spot?" Lin Anbei exclaimed in disbelief after hearing the news.

  Lin Tianyang smiled and said: "Anbei uncle, do you think this is possible?"

  "Since you're not willing to give in, what's the point of talking?" Lin Anbei felt that Lin Tianyang was intentionally playing him, and his face turned even uglier.

  Lin Tianyang still smiled and said: "Of course, it's impossible to let go directly, but I can sell it to Tianyao!"

  "What? You want to sell your quota?" Lin Anbei asked in surprise again.

  Lin Tianyang nodded and said: "Not bad, Uncle Anbei, with my current strength, what are the chances of me passing the inner door exam?"

  When Lin Tianyang asked this, Lin Anbei suddenly calmed down and carefully sized up Lin Tianyang for a few moments before nodding: "I understand, you want to sell the quota to Tianyao and then take part in the assessment yourself. Not bad, with your demonstrated strength, unless something unexpected happens, the quota of an inner disciple should be very promising!"

  "It seems Uncle Anbei, you understand. In that case, as long as you give me the number, I'll let Tianyao take my place!" Lin Tiangyang stretched out a palm and waved it in front of Lin Anbei.

  "Wuling Stone?" Lin Anbei asked, guessing after seeing it.

  Lin Tianyang immediately withdrew his palm and followed with: "Anbei Uncle, are you joking? Do you think 500 spirit stones can buy this quota?"

  "Five thousand, you really dare to open your mouth so big?" Lin Anbei showed a dissatisfied expression again.

  Lin Tianyang smiled and said: "Anbei uncle, do you think this price is high? If I'm willing to let go of this quota to others, how much do you think they'll be willing to pay?"

  Lin Anbei faced Lin Tianyang's counter-question, carefully thinking for a while before responding: "Alright, 5,000 is 5,000. As long as you're really willing to give the quota to Tianyao, I'll immediately give you the spiritual stone!"

  Lin Tianyang saw Lin Anbei finally agreed, and smiled: "Uncle Anbei, you're making an absolutely wise decision!"

  After having a talk with Lin Anbei, Lin Tianyang quickly came to Lin Yin Feng's room.

  "This Second Master saw Lin Tianyang and immediately smiled: 'You little guy, you've made quite a bit of progress, actually being able to block three moves from your Uncle Anbei.'"

  Lin Tianyang looked at the second grandfather's kind smile, and his heart also felt a warmth, smiling and saying: "Second Grandfather is joking, I just rely on having a symbol of treasure!"

  "It's already quite impressive that it's come to this. I've already warned Anbei, he won't bother you again, otherwise the family rules aren't just for show!"

  Lin Tianyang heard the second grandfather say this, and his heart was moved. Although this second grandfather was not his own grandfather, he still treated him like that, which was really impressive. He thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Second Grandfather, for taking care of me. I came to find you so late at night because there's something I want to discuss with you!"

  "What's up?" Lin Yin Feng asked.

  "I want to give the quota for admission to Tianyao!" Lin Tianyang said directly.

  "What? Why are you doing this, Second Master already said that Lin Anbei won't bother you again!" Lin Yin Feng thought that Lin Tian Yang was threatened by Lin Anbei's power.

  Lin Tianyang smiled and shook his head, "Second Grandfather, don't misunderstand, this is my true intention. I haven't been coerced by anyone else. In fact, I think that relying on my own abilities, I can also pass the assessment for inner disciples, so I feel that having a spot reserved for me would be a waste."

  Lin Tianyang finished speaking, and Lin Yin Feng also started thinking. After a while, he nodded and said: "Not bad, you have such strength, I believe that even if you participate in the assessment, the opportunity to become an inner disciple of the Lei Yan Sect is very great. You can make this choice, which shows that you are very confident in yourself, and at the same time proves that you don't have any private motives. I wonder what else Anbei and others have to say? However, if it doesn't pass, you will only have the opportunity to participate in the assessment again after ten years. Have you thought about it?"

  "Second Master, if you don't even dare to take this little risk, how can we continue on the path of the Great Way?" Lin Tianyang asked confidently.

  Lin Yin Feng heard Lin Tian Yang's confident words and was also deeply moved, saying: "Good, you are indeed the most outstanding descendant of our Lin family in this generation. Second Grandfather will agree to your request. This time, even if you have an accident, Second Grandfather will use the family's stored Zhu Ji Dan to help you build your foundation!"

  Hearing Second Grandfather treat himself like this, Lin Tianyang felt that if he really achieved something in the future, he should take care of his family, not for anything else, but for Second Grandfather's kindness to the family.

  "Tianyao has a quota for direct entry, and if you pass the assessment, then my Lin family will have two inner disciples in the Leiyan Sect. In the future, it's likely that we'll produce two more foundation-building cultivators, or maybe even a golden core cultivator! At that time, our Lin family will surpass the Fang and Leng families to become the top family in Sanxian Town!" Lin Yin Feng was now also starting to imagine a bright future.

  The next day, Lin Yin Feng convened a family meeting again and decided to let Lin Tian Yang's quota be taken over by Lin Tian Yao. At the same time, he announced that Lin Tian Yang would go to participate in the internal disciple assessment of Lei Yan Sect.

  Lin Tianyao was overjoyed and danced with excitement upon hearing the news, while Lin Tianyang remained calm and composed.

  Watching them react like this, Lin Yin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly about his own grandson. If he had even half of Lin Tian Yang's abilities, he would be at ease.

  After this, Lin Tianyang also successfully obtained the spiritual stone he wanted from Lin Anbei.

  A few days later, the deadline of one month arrived again, and Lin Tianyang appeared once more in front of the Tongtian Tower's gate.

  Just like before, Lin Tianyang took out fifty spirit stones and handed them over to Tongtian Dao Ren.

  After collecting the spirit stone, Tongtian Dao didn't immediately open the door of Tongtian Tower. Instead, he looked at Lin Tianyang's storage bag and chuckled: "Lin Tianyang, you seem to have a lot of spirit stones on you. Are you interested in buying some good stuff directly from me?"

  "What? You can still sell things here?" Lin Tianyang heard this and his face was filled with incredulity, "Your NPC functions are too numerous!"
