Chapter 5154 It Seemed Like It Was Yesterday
One day later, LAN xiaoru received a reply from the "main body" Luan xiaoru. After reading it, she couldn't help but be more shocked,""Who's this Lin Yi? You actually want me to take responsibility for it, and even I can't interfere?"
It would be fine if she just didn't want her to interfere, but the thing was that the letter said that Lin Yi couldn't be dealt with, and that he couldn't be allowed to get into any trouble, or else professor li would be under a lot of pressure. Lin Yi was a key figure in the whole situation, and he couldn't die just yet.
In the letter, Luan xiaoru also said that if there was a chance, it was best to try to win him over. Even if it couldn't be done, even if it was just a fake relationship on the surface, they still had to maintain a good relationship with Lin Yi for the time being. They couldn't start a conflict rashly, and they couldn't escalate the conflict. This was a death order, and anyone who violated it would be severely punished!
LAN xiaoru broke out in a cold sweat as she read the letter. Fortunately, she had not done anything stupid before, or she would have gotten herself into a huge mess. Compared to professor Li's main battlefield, the ancient plan that she was leading now was not even worth mentioning. If she really ruined professor Li's plan, she would not be able to atone for it even if she died a thousand times.
However, Luan xiaoru didn't point out Lin Yi's true identity in the letter. It was a matter of great importance, and with LAN xiaoru's current position, she didn't have the authority to know such confidential information. So, while LAN xiaoru was shocked, she couldn't help but feel confused.
But since Luan xiaoru said so, she could only do as she was told. She immediately passed down the order, especially to the doctor glasses. Although she was prepared to use Dafeng as an "insider" to keep Lin Yi hanging, he wouldn't listen to the emperor's orders from the outside. If something went wrong, the doctor glasses might change his strategy at the last minute. After all, he did have the strength now.
In the transit islands, time passed day by day. Whether it was the prospective disciples who had just entered the sect or the experienced disciples who had long been Foundation establishment experts, everyone was working hard to cultivate. However, the former was to stay, while the latter was for the trials of the archaic Era.
Looking at the tense atmosphere of everyone training every day, Lin Yi felt like he was back to when he first came to the North Island. It was the same back then, all the items were still fresh in his mind, and he missed them just thinking about it.
Of course, with Lin Yi's current situation, he didn't need to go through the usual training like the others. It was just a projected soul, and before he could figure out a way to return to the Golden core stage, no amount of training would be of any use. He might as well take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the abilities of the soul.
On the other hand, Lingshan and the others-Lin Yi did give them enough Foundation Stage golden cores, but they weren't able to level up directly, and they didn't get their strength through hard work. Their foundations weren't strong enough, so their progress wasn't as fast as they thought.
This couldn't be helped-most people would start breaking through the barrier after reaching the peak of the Sky Class, but they'd already reached the peak of the Sky Class three years ago, and had been stuck at the same level ever since. With their lack of foundation, it was much harder to break through to the Foundation Stage than ordinary people.
Fortunately, they didn't have enough Foundation to make up for it with the help of Jindan, and coupled with the rich spiritual energy of this transit archipelago, just the external conditions alone were already considered unique. In addition, there was no lack of excellent aptitude among them. Although it seemed that not everyone could smoothly break through, a few were already close to the critical point of the breakthrough, and he believed that he would hear good news soon.
At the same time, the operation of the bespectacled doctor's side was also making continuous progress. However, after a good start with Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng, their progress in the past month wasn't much. At least, it was a lot worse than expected.
After all, they had to act in secret. In order to not attract the attention of others and alert the enemy, these people did not dare to be too obvious. From locking on the potential targets to gradually approaching them step by step, and finally officially roping them in, every step in the process had to be done carefully. Otherwise, if they were not careful, the matter would be leaked out, and it would be a great disaster.
"It's been a whole month and we've only managed to rope in two people. Isn't this too slow? the mysterious man in Black, aren't we being a little too careful?" Brother Dafeng pretended to complain.
"This is a matter of great importance, so we can't be too careful. Don't be impatient." The professor was the one who wanted to make progress the most, but he was surprisingly patient this time. In fact, it was mainly because of LAN xiaoru's special instructions last time when he went out to report the progress. Since they couldn't provoke Lin Yi, they couldn't expose any flaws in this kind of poaching. Otherwise, even if they didn't poach Lin Yi, it could develop into a direct confrontation with Lin Yi, and that would go against their original intention.
"But if we continue to develop at this rate, how long will it take for us to really expand our manpower? it's not even as good as when we were catching lone Masters outside. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to explain if the higher-ups ask, right?" Brother Dafeng asked curiously.
"It's okay. That was then and this is now. It's much more difficult to move around here than it is outside. We've already expected this, so the higher-ups won't blame us. Besides, our Center hasn't shown its true strength so far, so it's not easy to recruit people with just a few words. Let's take it slowly. " The bespectacled doctor sighed.
Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng were special cases. They were both disabled people, and it was naturally easy to win them over when they were in despair. However, the other disciples of the ancient Alliance were different. Even if they harbored resentment against the ancient Alliance, they were not that easy to win over. Unless the person who was sent to persuade them had a deep relationship with them, it would be difficult to persuade them.
Take the two people he had managed to win over so far as an example. One of them was brilliant Dragon from the ancient five elements sect. He had a deep personal grudge against the senior brother leading the ancient five elements sect's team, so he resented the entire ancient five elements sect as well. In addition, Bing Wuqing had once saved his life by chance during an ancient trial. That was why he had been won over. Furthermore, it was all thanks to Bing Wuqing's personal appearance. If it had been someone else, they might not have been able to persuade him.
