I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: The Teammate You Can’t Help but Sell Out

At first, the trusted followers of the Immortal King, led by the Five Directions War God, were very displeased with the King’s decision.

They did not deny Lin Yi’s talent and strength.

At a young age, relying on his own ability, and without receiving the uniformly distributed pills from the All Gods Camp, he elevated his Divine Power Level to Level E.

Such an achievement, looking across the entire All Gods Camp, no one dared to claim they could accomplish at his age.

However, what they questioned was Lin Yi’s loyalty.

To join the Immortal King Palace and become the King’s trusted follower, just attacking the Dragon Queen on the battlefield and killing the members of Dark Rising wasn’t enough.

To prove his loyalty, Lin Yi had to let the Immortal King examine his thoughts.

The result, as expected, the Immortal King saw explosive information in Lin Yi’s memory:

The Nine Netherworld incident was bound to happen, but the role Lin Yi played in it was indeed extraordinary.

By reading Lin Yi’s memory, the Immortal King saw Lin Yi’s process of infiltrating the Land of the Nine Netherworld, and also saw that Lin Yi inherited the abilities of the Undead Monarch Lin You, avenged Lin You by killing Qin Guang, and acquired Qin Guang’s abilities.

The Immortal King even saw a scene that previously kept him awake at night in anger: Lin Yi mastered the Heaven-piercing Mantra and informed the Three Realms and Six Paths of the sins of All Gods, causing their reputation to be questioned.

Fortunately, the Immortal King had initially suspected Lin Yi’s involvement in this matter, which helped suppress his inner rage.

Moreover, as so much time had passed, the Immortal King chose not to dwell on it.

He deeply understood that everything in the world is a combination of contradictions.

Indeed, Lin Yi used the Heaven-piercing Mantra, which negatively impacted All Gods, but who’s to say that this skill won’t bring more benefits to the Immortal King in the future?

Considering this, the Immortal King put aside most of his vigilance, allowing Lin Yi to join the All Gods Camp, and gave Lin Yi the title of Priest, granting him an abundance of resources and even having him temporarily serve as his spokesperson in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

In terms of knowing from Lin Yi’s mind that he obtained the Divine River Song and used the Heaven-piercing Mantra to greatly disadvantage All Gods, Lin Yi’s actions definitely caused significant losses to All Celestial Divine Beings; saying he deserved punishment is no exaggeration.

Despite the anger, seeing these memories wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

This precisely demonstrated, from another perspective, that Lin Yi did not hide anything from the Immortal King, even allowing him to see something of such grave consequence, proving his sincere allegiance.

However, the Immortal King did not completely trust Lin Yi.

Because in Lin Yi’s memories, there was nothing related to Lin Yi’s family and friends.

Having dominated this world for so many years, the Immortal King is extremely cautious; to win his full trust, one must show him a reason that warrants complete trust.

Family and friends?

For those wholeheartedly seeking power and strength, they really don’t mean much.

As of now, the Immortal King just can’t be sure whether Lin Yi is such a person.

To better monitor Lin Yi, the Immortal King made a seemingly generous decision, which was to bestow the Fu Xi Talisman to Lin Yi.

If this had happened to someone else, like the Five Directions War God or other loyal followers, they would certainly feel honored, believing the Immortal King was placing great trust in them.

After all, these guys are genuinely loyal and utterly devoted.

Not so with Lin Yi; he knew clearly that this was the Immortal King’s instrument to monitor his every move, and he had no legitimate reason to refuse this so-called gift.

The same old saying.

Everything in this world is a combination of contradictions; wherever there is advantage, there is disadvantage, and when something causes you inconveniences, it can also benefit you from another perspective.

Take the Fu Xi Talisman that constantly monitors Lin Yi, for example.

Most of the time, this self-aware Divine Artifact, by Lin Yi’s side, indeed monitors his every move, making everything Lin Yi does develop only in the direction the Immortal King desires.

However, didn’t this precisely make the Immortal King believe in Lin Yi’s stance?

In order to completely cleanse his acquired forces and turn his subordinates into ones who are wholeheartedly devoted, the Immortal King deliberately made known that he had obtained the Fu Xi Talisman.

And the Immortal King even enhanced his Fu Xi Talisman to a +99 Enhancement Level.

As for how this Enhancement Level came to be, it all goes back to Mr. Gongsu.

The news of Mr. Gongsu mastering the Enhancement Skill couldn’t be hidden.

After all, holding in their hands the Divine River Song with an Enhancement Level of +100, the equipment of Wo Zhiqi from the past was never enhanced, and the Immortal King was well aware of this.

Thus, when Lin Yi was asked about the Enhancement Skill, he had no choice but to sell out Mr. Gongsu.

There was no other option, this couldn’t be kept a secret.

”Lord Immortal King, you are overestimating me a bit, I do indeed have a grasp on this technology, but I am still a fledgling newbie. If I go all out, with my own abilities, I can enhance equipment to a level of +70. If I push it further, it might damage the equipment.”

”But if you want to enhance the Fu Xi Talisman to +99, it’s not impossible—I’d recommend someone for this.”

The person Lin Yi recommended was naturally Mr. Gongsu.

Luckily, while on the Blue Star, Lin Yi never released the Fu Xi Talisman to show how to use it, nor did too many people witness the Fu Xi Talisman. The talisman itself didn’t realize that the Blue Star was important to Lin Yi, nor did it know the exact coordinates, otherwise, his weakness would have been exposed.

Gongshu De? That old man actually mastered the Enhancement Skill?!

The name Gongshu De was known to the Immortal King; after all, Gongshu De was one of Dark Rising’s Seven Heroes, such a status was worthy of investigation.

Not specifically mentioning Gongshu De, the Immortal King wouldn’t have thought that he was related to the Blue Star from thousands of years ago.

”Indeed, he is the last descendant of the Gongshu Clan, and I only found out recently. Why could my level reach a +100 Enhancement Level, but not the Fu Xi Talisman? That brings us to the ruins of the Blue Star.”

Lin Yi explained the matter about the One-time Enhancement Device to the Immortal King.

Stating there was only one One-time Enhancement Device, consumed by himself, and Mr. Gongsu’s limit was +99.

The Immortal King felt quite helpless about this.

He never imagined he would one day receive the Fu Xi Talisman, nor did he think that the Blue Star he ordered to destroy would hold such value to him now.

Despite the regret, as the Immortal King, his vision didn’t allow him to express himself in such a regretful manner.

+99 it is, better than nothing.

The Immortal King didn’t show too much disappointment, he merely tasked Lin Yi with bringing Mr. Gongsu over.
