Chapter 84: Add Some Oil (First Update)

  The Lin family's agent in charge of recruiting Yang Tong was frustrated, because after waiting for half a year, there was no response from the other party. It wasn't until later that they found out Yang Tong had gone to take classes in the wilderness, accompanied by the Dean of the Royal Advanced Academy himself. This made it impossible for the Lin family to intervene halfway, as this old man who had presided over the Royal Advanced Academy's Fallen Star Branch for 500 years still held considerable power.

  Six months later, Yang Tong finally returned to Tianxiang Mountain City from Tieyi. From a distance, he saw Director Huang standing at the city gate.

  "Director Lao, I'm back." Yang Tong walked over to report.

  "Good, you've done quite well. Go back and rest for a while, digest it properly, and we'll continue with the second phase of the course in two years." Director Huang was not in a hurry either, leaving enough time for Yang Tong to fully digest and rest for a period of time.

  Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, thinking that the lifespan of people in this world is long, and the pace of life is also very slow. One class every two years, this made Yang Tong very satisfied.

  Yang Tong returned to school and resumed his usual calm life, still crazily cultivating equipment to make money.

  A month after Yang Tong returned to school, Jian Yi paid a visit to his home.

  "Jian Xuechang, how do you have the time to come visit me?" Yang Tong asked curiously. Even if there were some academic issues, they would usually be discussed online, as everyone was a spiritual tool master and spent most of their time researching and manufacturing spiritual tools, so who had the free time to run around visiting others?

  "Alas, I actually didn't want to come, but I owed someone a favor and had no choice but to make this trip." Jian Yi let out a sigh.

  "What? Something big?" Yang Tong was very curious.

  "It's like this, the Lin family, one of the four major families of the Falling Star Sect, asked a friend to ask me to come here as an intermediary. They want you to join the Linshi Armor Company. Even if you don't join, they're willing to pay a high price for your armor." After finishing speaking, Jianyi let out a sigh of relief and asked: "I didn't expect that you'd be so familiar with armor crafting. Crafting armor requires an even higher level than crafting weapons, requiring a unique understanding of battle formations and extraordinary mental control abilities. Moreover, the production rate of armor is too low, and the time it takes to craft one piece of armor is enough for me to craft four pieces of weaponry. Calculating the profit, it's naturally not as much as that of weaponry."

  "To be honest, Zhao from sixth grade ordered several hundred sets of protective gear from me. Such a big business, I couldn't possibly push it away, could I? So, I took it on. Who would have thought that the Lin family came knocking again? You understand now, Jian?" Yang Tong said with a half-hidden and half-revealed tone.

  "Isn't the Lin family being too overbearing?" Jian Yi understood the meaning behind it and couldn't help but get furious! As a spiritual tool master, there are rules to follow, with absolute neutrality as the principle. As long as it's a customer who comes to the door with a suitable price, they can take on the job. This time, the conflict between the two major families outside the school absolutely shouldn't have dragged in a lone spiritual tool master. "Consider this as if I never came, and I will report this matter to the Spiritual Tool Master Association under the Spiritual Tool Technology Company!"

  This kind of conflict between the two parties, involving a third-party spiritual tool master, is against the rules on the surface. This will lead to resistance from all spiritual tool masters, after all, no one wants to get involved in trouble because of this. When doing business and refining spiritual tools, everyone wants to avoid offending either party. If you take on the business of one faction, you'll offend another faction, so can you still do business?

  He is a free-spirited spiritual master, straightforward and generous, having made many friends in the same profession. In the field of spiritual masters, he may not be the most skilled, but his relationships are absolutely unparalleled.

  Yang Tong personally escorted Jian Yi out of the dormitory, watching him leave before returning to the dormitory. With a cold smile in his heart, he thought: "The Lin family is going to be in trouble now."

  As expected, Jian Yi left and found that friend he had entrusted, bluntly scolding him: "Go find Lin and explain clearly, I won't help with this matter."

  "What's wrong, Old Yi?" Feng Linzi asked, "It's rare to see you get so angry."

  "Hmph, one of the four major families of Luoxing, what a big tone you have! Whether we take on business or not, whose business it is, actually still needs to go through their approval!" Jian Yi said with disdain. After that, he explained things for a bit.

  "I see, I understand. Old Yi, this time it's my fault, I was just helping a friend. Since the Lin family is being unreasonable, let's just ignore them." Feng Linzi sighed and said, his heart also filled with some anger.

  "Alright, I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Jian Yi was preparing to file a complaint with the Spiritual Toolsmith Association.

  "Lao Yi, wait a minute, don't be impulsive. This matter doesn't have any evidence, and if you take it to the association like this, it will cause trouble." Feng Linzi knew his friend well and hurriedly advised him.

  "I understand what you mean, it's better not to put this kind of thing on the surface. To teach Lin's family a lesson, isn't there another way? " Feng Linzi spoke out his suggestion, "We can't put it on the surface, we can contact each other privately and spread the news outside, hehehe..."

  News that Lin's family had coerced a certain spiritual tool master to take over his business, drawing an innocent free spiritual tool master into the struggle for power, spread throughout the spiritual tool industry in Luoxing City. Whether they were free spiritual tool masters or those who already had jobs, all expressed dissatisfaction and indignation. The dissatisfied ones were mostly non-free spiritual tool masters, while the free spiritual tool masters were more indignant.

  As a result, the Lin family suffered a tragedy. The free-spirited morticians refused to take on any more business from the Lin family. Being a mortician is a high-paying profession with strong selectivity, and they can abandon their clients at will.

  The spiritual tool master of the Lin family who specialized in defensive equipment was named Mokuren, from the Moku branch family that served the Lin family. The Moku family had also produced a spiritual tool master and were gradually shedding their vassal status as they sought more benefits to develop their family's influence.

  The Lin family was willing to lend a hand to help the Mu family prosper, and they also gave up a lot of benefits. The condition was that Mu Lin Sen would join the Lin family. For the sake of his family's interests, Mu Lin Sen had no choice but to marry into the Lin family and take Lin's sister as his wife.

  He also has many friends in the industry, and after hearing this news from his friends in the industry, he couldn't help but feel a wave of surprise.

  The master of the Lin family's office, at this moment the master of the Lin family received a message from his servant: "Master, Mu Daishi requests an audience."
