Yang Qing'er shook her head and said, "I have investigated privately before. This huge sum of money eventually flowed to the Divine Realm Open Zone. As for whether someone set a trap to deceive him, it is hard to judge at the moment."
"God's Domain Open Zone?"
Lin Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Yang Qing'er judged: "Liu Aozhi is an extremely shrewd man. It would be very difficult to deceive him. Even if someone wanted to deceive him, they would have to produce something tangible."
"If you wish to verify this, young master, you may wish to have someone inquire about it in the open area of the Divine Realm."
Lin Yi nodded: "That's fine."
Although he had never been to the open area of the Divine Realm, he was not without relevant connections.
Even if it's inconvenient to contact people outside of Tianjun right now, don't forget that there are quite a few top-tier second-generation members in the Termination Society.
"Stay here for a while, I'll call you if I need anything later."
Lin Yi gave an order, then returned to the Termination Society headquarters and summoned Li Tianguo and the others.
"God's Domain Open Zone?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning blinked: "My family does this kind of business, so what?"
For some reason, Tianjun is extremely isolated from the outside world, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter or leave, and even for prominent families to extend their reach outside.
The Zhao family, however, was an exception.
Nominally a noble family of Tianjun, the Zhao family's main base is not actually in Tianjun, but in the Divine Realm Open Zone.
Strictly speaking, the Zhao family of Tianjun can only be considered a branch of the Zhao family; the Divine Realm Open Zone is where their main family is located.
The core role of the Zhao family in Tianjun is to serve as a bridge between Tianjun and the Divine Realm Open Zone. Many matters of the Heavenly Palace are negotiated and communicated with the Divine Realm Open Zone through the Zhao family.
Lin Yi said directly, "I need your help to find out if Liu Aozhi has recently made a big deal with the Divine Realm Open Zone that is related to the Four-Zhang Dharma Form."
"A four-zhang-tall Dharma form? Leave it to me!"
Zhao Ning immediately patted his chest and agreed.
Lin Yi instructed, "This matter needs to be investigated secretly. Regardless of the outcome, try not to make it public to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Zhao Ning nodded: "I understand. I have my own connections and don't need my family to get involved."
This is the source of confidence for top-tier second-generation individuals.
Even though they haven't taken over yet, the resources and channels they can mobilize are enough to make ordinary families look on in the dark.
Three days later.
Zhao Ning rushed back with a message: "I have news. Liu Aozhi did indeed make a deal with a guild over there. The amount is quite substantial. He said he bought a four-zhang Dharma form quota from that guild."
"what?"
Lin Yi rubbed his ears: "You can buy a spot for a Four-Zhang Dharma Form?"
These words truly overturned his understanding.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, every step has been arduous, but no matter what level, as long as the necessary conditions are met, one can overcome it.
The only difference is whether the conditions are more ordinary or more demanding.
When will the quota be available?
I've met all the requirements, but if I want to advance further, I still need a quota. This isn't a promotion.
If that were the case, the entire logic of cultivation would be overturned.
"Could he be a scammer?"
This was Lin Yi's first reaction.
However, there's a nagging feeling that this logic isn't entirely impossible.
After all, his current situation theoretically meets all the requirements for the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, but he is still stuck there.
The key obstacle wasn't some hard barrier; Lin Yi's intuition told him that what he was ultimately lacking was an opportunity.
But where this opportunity came from was completely a mystery.
The only thing that can be said for sure is that this opportunity has nothing to do with his own cultivation, but rather with some external factor.
Lin Yi couldn't help but speculate.
Is this so-called spot what I'm missing?
Zhao Ning nodded repeatedly and said, "In the Divine Realm Open Zone, there are rumors circulating that the guild is dishonest and has a history of overcharging and cheating customers. Liu Aozhi is likely to become a victim of this."
Li Tianguo continued, "In this Tianjun, there aren't many people who dare to deceive Liu Aozhi. However, the Divine Realm Open Zone is a mixed bag, especially those so-called guilds, which are very murky."
Cao Luoshen chuckled: "If this is true, then we'll have something fun to watch."
When a dignified governor of Tianjun is swindled, even as a victim, most people will not feel any sympathy; instead, they will only gloat.
If things go wrong, they might become the laughingstock of the entire Tianjun County and be nailed to the pillar of shame.
The key issue is that the Divine Realm Open Zone is too far away, and even with the power of the Tianjun Aristocratic Family, it would be difficult to project power there.
Once he's scammed, Liu Aozhi will most likely be helpless.
Lin Yi pondered, "Liu Aozhi doesn't seem like the type to be so easily hooked, does he?"
Everyone fell into silence.
Liu Aozhi is a first-rate person in terms of both vision and methods; otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in the position of the Grand Administrator of Tianjun.
Trying to snatch something from such a person's jaws is not entirely impossible, but it's certainly extremely difficult.
Cao Luoshen speculated, "Even the strongest person has weaknesses as long as they have desires. Besides, the open area of the Divine Realm is a mixed bag, with no fewer experts than in Tianjun. It's normal for Liu Aozhi to suffer a setback."
To put it bluntly, Liu Aozhi's power is limited to the Tianjun region, or perhaps to the thirteen counties of the Divine Realm. As for the open areas of the Divine Realm, they don't care about his abilities at all.
Li Tianguo said, "I think the chairman is right. Liu Aozhi is not so easy to fool. Since the other party was able to get him hooked, they must have brought out something real."
"Of course, having real items doesn't mean you won't be scammed; it just means the scam might take different forms."
Lin Yi nodded: "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, so does that mean that the four-zhang Dharma form quota really exists?"
Several people looked at each other.
This topic is too high-level; even with their backgrounds as top-tier second-generation individuals, it's difficult for them to get involved.
After all, we haven't reached that level yet.
At this moment, Kong Qianqiu said, "There should really be a spot. I once heard my grandfather mention it. The difference between the four-zhang Dharma form and the five-zhang Dharma form is like heaven and earth."
"How to say?"
Everyone immediately became interested.
His grandfather was the contemporary sage Confucius. Even if he were a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Palace, it would depend on whether the opportunity was right to hear his teachings. This was a rare and precious chance.
If it weren't for Lin Yi's sake, it would have been incredibly difficult for them to get even a single word from Kong Qianqiu, given their status.
Kong Qianqiu explained, "The five-zhang Dharma form is within the scope of normal cultivators, but starting from the four-zhang Dharma form, one has already become a candidate for the gods."
"As everyone should know, the gods are not a realm, but a title."
Everyone suddenly realized.
The gods and the powerful beings in the divine realm as perceived by ordinary people are two completely different concepts.
The Divine Realm expert is just a level of cultivation. Leaving aside hard conditions such as talent and opportunity, theoretically anyone, even a blade of grass or a tree, could potentially reach this level.
