To put it bluntly, even though this was a title above Grandmaster, the difference between them was not in their array Dao abilities, but in their ability to create and inscribe array discs!
All diamond-rank grandmasters would naturally study and inscribe array disks before becoming Mystic cultivators.
For example, Vice-President Zhu was a bronze-level array master, but his array skills couldn't be compared to Lin Yi 's.
Even Shi tiancai should be stronger than Vice-President Zhu, so becoming a Xuan master was not difficult, but it was not easy either!
Putting aside the ability to inscribe array disks, the quota for the Xuan master examination was very rare. Due to the scarcity of the quota, it was extremely precious.
Of course, if one wanted to take part in the assessment, one had to be a diamond-level Grandmaster first. The threshold was so high that it blocked most people.
This time, Vice President Zhu's quota was unlimited. One could take the test at any time.
After all, the group of youngsters Lin Yi and Shi Yucai promoted were still young and far from reaching the Xuan master level. It could only be said that they left a path for growth in the future.
The Jia family head, who had been secretly paying attention to the array formation Association, was dumbfounded when he received the news.
Every array Grandmaster and even array master who took part in reinforcing the node received an unlimited quota for the mystic master assessment?
Since when did the Xuan master assessment quota become something that could be wholesale?
For a moment, the regret in the heart of the Jia clan's patriarch was overflowing, and his heart felt as painful as if it had been bitten by a venomous snake!
It was the Xuan master assessment quota!
The Xingyuan continent only had a Xuan master assessment every three years. In the past, each continent would only obtain one spot every three years!
Therefore, in order to participate in the assessment, one must first undergo intense competition and elimination within the continent ...
Unless you're the only one in the entire continent who's qualified to take the test!
However, in reality, there would always be a few Diamond Grade array Masters hidden in every continent. It was not just how many there were on the surface. This was a fact that everyone had a tacit understanding.
The quota for the last Xuan master assessment was obtained by a hidden diamond-grade array Grandmaster in the Jia family. It was a pity that he went to participate in the Xuan master assessment and returned in low spirits, unable to advance to the Xuan master realm.
Although grandmasters and Mystic cultivators seemed to be similar in terms of array Dao, their statuses were completely different, and the authority they had on the starsource continent was also as different as heaven and earth.
Otherwise, how could it attract so many Diamond Grade array Masters to fight for the assessment slots?
The Jia family was known to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the Sangzi continent, but they didn't have much influence on the starsource continent.
If they could produce a Mystic cultivator, their influence would then expand to the entire starsource continent!
However, it was not easy to get a spot!
Therefore, when he heard that everyone participating in the spatial node reinforcement would have an indefinite quota for the mystic master examination, the Jia family's head was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Of course, there was also endless regret. If he had known earlier, he would have sent the Jia family's array Masters to participate. In any case, Shi longcai had successfully completed the task in the end, so he might as well have cooperated from the beginning!
In the end, not only did he fail to complete his initial plan, he even lost so many elite experts and missed a chance to obtain a spot for the Xuan master examination!
He really regretted it!
On the other side, Lin Yi wasn't too sure about the value of the Xuan Master exam, so he asked after the messenger finished reading.
The messenger was very happy to be able to make a name for himself in front of Lin Yi, and so he explained in detail how rare and precious the Xuan master assessment was, and also praised Vice President Zhu for his generosity.
"So that's how it is. Vice-President Zhu is really thoughtful! When you return, help me thank Vice President Zhu!"
Lin Yi chuckled to himself, understanding that Vice-President Zhu was trying to get on his good side!
To give out hundreds of such precious assessment quotas at once, it was definitely a huge sum of money!
Fortunately, it was impossible for all of these hundreds of people to go to the starsource continent to take the assessment at once. The strength of this group of young people was not enough.
When they slowly grew up and were qualified to take part in the assessment, it would be many years later.
Furthermore, not everyone would really use the several hundred slots. Most people might not have the chance to grow to this stage, and some people had reached the level but were not interested in array disks, so they naturally would not take the Xuan master assessment.
No matter what, Vice-President Zhu's generosity didn't have much of an impact on him, and he was doing Lin Yi a huge favor.
But this favor wasn't too obvious-it was given out as a reward for completing the mission perfectly, so it wouldn't make Lin Yi feel bad. There wasn't anything wrong with it, either, so it was perfect!
He was a smart person!
As expected, someone who could become the array formation Guild's Vice President definitely wasn't an idiot.
Lin Yi thought that he could improve his friendship with Vice-President Zhu in the future, and it would be great if they could help each other!
"Don't worry, Hall Master Sima. I'll definitely pass on the message. Vice-President Zhu will be very happy to hear it. At the same time, he'll express that this is just part of his job and not worth the hall master's thanks!"
The messenger was Vice-President Zhu's confidant, and to a certain extent, he could speak on behalf of Vice-President Zhu. These polite words were fine, and Lin Yi smiled.
"Alright! In any case, I, Sima Yi, will remember Vice-President Zhu's support for our Sangzi continent's array Dao Association! In the future, if Vice-President Zhu comes to the Sangzi continent, I'll be sure to welcome you!"
Lin Yi meant that he'd remember this favor, and that he'd help Vice-President Zhu if he needed help in the future.
It was just a polite greeting on the surface, but the meaning behind it was clear-the messenger naturally understood and treated Lin Yi with even more respect.
"If you're not in a hurry, please stay for a drink and celebrate with us!"
After the official business was over, Shi longcai sent an invitation to the messenger. It was a celebration party, after all, so it was more lively with more people.
The messenger agreed without hesitation,"then I won't be polite!" As the saying goes, it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Today, I'll borrow your wine to congratulate the two of you on completing your task perfectly!"
It was a rare opportunity for them to get closer to each other, and the messenger had to stay and have a few drinks with Lin Yi and Shi tiancai.
As a result, the atmosphere of the celebration party became more and more cheerful and harmonious. The newly formed array formation Association could be said to have become famous in one battle and shone brightly.
In contrast, the Jia family and the sky array sect were overshadowed and fell into an awkward silence.
The sky array sect was still fine, having kept a low profile recently. The Jia family, on the other hand, felt as if they had been ruthlessly slapped in the face by Shi shengcai. Unable to regain their face in a short time, they could only brace themselves and deliberately keep a low profile.
It was also because of the heavy losses in the abandoned forest that he had lost all his face even though the news hadn't spread, and he was too embarrassed to show up in front of Shi longcai again.
He could only keep a low profile and avoid the sharp edge for the time being. He could talk about other things when he had the opportunity in the future!
