For the Five Elements Academy, their biggest resource is spirit stones. The spirit stones within the Five Elements Academy account for almost 50 to 60% of the entire inner earth world.
This is not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing is that almost 70% to 80% of the high-quality spiritual stones are produced in the Five Elements Academy.
This is also the biggest basis for the Five Elements Academy to become one of the three university palaces.
In terms of the foundation of Five Elements Academy, it is not as good as Taiyi Academy and Titan Academy, and its hard power is only inferior to those two universities.
But the advantages brought by this spiritual stone alone are enough to make the Five Elements Academy and the other two university palaces appear as a tripartite.
Now, the situation has changed, and the strengths of all parties have waxed and waned. This balance of power has undoubtedly undergone subtle changes.
Jiang Yue has been in the Five Elements Academy for three years, so of course he knows the ambitions and plans of the Five Elements Academy.
Now that we are back to our old place, the teleportation array that was destroyed by Jiang Yue and the others earlier has been repaired. It has now become the largest transportation hub in the Five Elements Academy.
It's just that this generation of destroyed teleportation arrays, even if they are repaired, the spiritual veins will still not be able to operate 100% as they did in the past.
Today, the transportation capacity and work efficiency of this teleportation array are only a little over 80% of what they were in the past, not even 90%.
Moreover, if this formation is repaired but destroyed again, it will be a big trouble.
Perhaps even if it can be repaired by then, the transportation capacity and work efficiency will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Five Elements Academy, having learned its lesson, now attaches great importance to the protection of this teleportation array. There is a team on duty 24 hours a day to guard the teleportation array.
Several groups of patrol teams have been added to the surrounding area to eliminate all dangerous factors. A bachelor with a golden ribbon was specially arranged to be responsible for the safety of the teleportation array and ensure that it will not encounter any attacks again.
The Five Elements Academy also knows that this teleportation array is related to the output speed of their spiritual stone resources. To put it bluntly, it is related to the speed of their making money.
To be more straightforward, it is related to the speed of growth in the strength of Five Elements Academy.
Even the chief bachelor Shen Guang often comes to inspect the teleportation array in person.
Of course, there are actually more than just this teleportation array within the Five Elements Academy. But when it comes to the core area and the largest teleportation array, this is it.
The other two teleportation arrays were originally only used to teleport people and horses, and were rarely used to teleport materials, spiritual stones, etc. on a large scale.
In terms of scale, the other two together are less than half the size of this one.
The area where the two teleportation arrays are located is further away from the origin of the spirit stones, so the radiation range is naturally not as good as this largest teleportation array.
The most important thing is that transporting spiritual stones from various places to the teleportation array requires manpower and material resources. At the same time, escort teams are also needed along the way, and patrol teams are also required to patrol this transportation line along the way.
This also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to be invested.
As a bachelor of hydraulic engineering, Jiang Yue was actually responsible for patrolling and protecting transportation lines. The men under his command were actually responsible for protecting these teams transporting spiritual stones.
This was also the favorable factor why he was finally able to sneak into the teleportation array and destroy it.
Because he is so familiar with the operation process of the teleportation array, he knows every detail. Including when the teleportation array operates, when to rest, and when to maintain it, they all know it clearly.
In fact, it seems like a long time has passed, but in fact it was less than two months since Li Jiangyue led a team to destroy the teleportation array.
But in the past two months, too many things have happened. Jiang Yue has become more and more comfortable between the surface world and the inner earth world.
He conducted many deductions using grand deduction techniques, and felt more and more that the Earth Center Clan was unable to hide its decline.
The balance of victory and defeat may not have begun to tilt yet, but for the inner earth world, their initial three-step plan did not conquer the surface world, and they have actually lost half of the overall situation.
Therefore, although Jiang Yue cannot be said to be blindly optimistic now, he is not as anxious as he was when he first arrived in the inner earth world.
It was not that he had never thought of attacking the teleportation array a second time, but after some reconnaissance, Jiang Yue gave up the idea.
The current teleportation array is so heavily defended that patrol teams appear almost every three to five minutes. Not to mention there are permanent teams guarding the teleportation array.
Even if Jiang Yue has great means and can kill the permanent guard team in one fell swoop, he cannot guarantee that he will not alert the patrol team.
Whenever an accident occurs, the patrol team can send a signal to the outside world for help, and everything he does will be in vain.
But destroying the teleportation array is not a short-term matter. Destroying the on-site magic circle of the teleportation array is not enough. You also have to attack all the spiritual veins.
Only by destroying it in all directions can the maximum real damage be caused to the teleportation array.
For Jiang Yue, they now only have two people, so it is almost impossible to complete all of this.
Moreover, although the destruction of the teleportation array would have a severe blow to the Five Elements Academy, it would not be fatal.
It's nothing more than making the Five Elements Academy feel uncomfortable for a while. It can't hurt the Five Elements Academy's muscles and bones.
…
In the Five Elements Academy, Chief Grand Scholar Shen Guang received a greeting invitation, but it was from Taiyi Academy. It was said that there were two envoys from Taiyi Academy, asking to see the Chief Grand Scholar outside the academy.
According to the envoy, they were entrusted by the chief bachelor of Taiyi Academy and came specifically to see the grand master of Shenguang.
In any case, before the surface war broke out, Five Elements Academy and Taiyi Academy were still in alliance. Both sides stood on the same side and had been fighting against Titan Academy for three years.
Although the Five Elements Academy only helped Taiyi Academy, it also contributed a lot. The relationship between the two parties can be said to be relatively harmonious at least.
The last time Taiyi Academy forcibly recruited their hydraulic engineering bachelor, this also made the Five Elements Academy feel somewhat grudged.
However, in the end, these did not affect the relationship between Five Elements Academy and Taiyi Academy on the surface. At least the two major forces were still harmonious on the surface and did not fall out.
Therefore, it is difficult for Shenguang University to reject the envoys from Taiyi Academy.
People still need to meet.
But what we will talk about in person and whether we can talk about it is another matter.
Archmaester Shenguang knew that he could not turn them away, so he did not overdo it. He made the two envoys wait for a while, and after two or three hours, he gave the order to summon them.
After the two envoys came forward to salute, they announced their family status, but they were both confidants of Grand Bachelor Jiuxiu.
The two expressed some greetings from Grand Bachelor Jiuxiu to Grand Bachelor Shenguang, and deeply reviewed the friendship between the two forces.
The Grand Bachelor of Shenguang smiled and said nothing, and did not appear to be very moved.
Instead, he smiled and said: "Two envoys, you have come all the way here, and you must not only say these polite words, right? Fellow Daoist Jiuxiu must not be so free now, right?"
Naturally, Archbishop Shenguang is well aware of the recent events in Taiyi Academy. Even though Taiyi Academy is currently experiencing constant internal strife, the external environment is also very bad. It can almost be said that it is in internal and external troubles.
Shenguang University Bachelor sometimes feels a little bit sour when he puts it in his place.
If I were in the position of Jiuxiu Grand Bachelor, I would probably have a big problem and it would be difficult to deal with it.
In this desperate situation, what does it mean when Grand Master Jiuxiu sends two envoys? They can't ask for help from themselves, right?
If this is the case, then I'm sorry, the Five Elements Academy is too busy to take care of itself and has no spare energy to help the Taiyi Academy.
Regardless of whether Taiyi Academy's problem is internal strife or external conflicts, Five Elements Academy has no intention of getting involved this time.
If it is true as Taiyi Academy said, it is Taiyi Academy that is behind the scenes. Does Taiyi Academy still want to expect Five Elements Academy to unswervingly form an alliance with them to deal with Titan Academy like last time?
Come on, that's already an old almanac.
The Five Elements Academy today is not the past, and the current situation is not the situation then.
The most important thing is that the current Titan Academy is not the Titan Academy in the past. At that time, the Titan Academy was particularly hated because of the special medicine, but Taiyi Academy got the special medicine and was willing to cooperate and share it with the Five Elements Academy.
The Five Elements Academy agreed to join forces because of this attractive condition.
Later, after the deep binding, I was also worried that the Titan Academy would be too strong and one family would dominate, so I bit the bullet and worked with the Taiyi Academy to deal with the Titan Academy.
Although the Titan Academy was not defeated later, it did weaken the Titan Academy and made it smaller.
The current Titan Academy is completely different from the strong and uncompromising Titan Academy in the past. The strength of the Titan Academy has been weakened and its reputation has declined. It is like a tiger with half of its claws cut off. It is not as docile as it used to be, but it is not as domineering as in the past.
.
The most important thing is that the current Taitan Academy is a valued customer of the Five Elements Academy. They are really willing to spend money and are willing to invest. They are very willing to spend money to order high-end spiritual stones from the Five Elements Academy and almost never bargain.
Giving money is very satisfying.
With such a hugely profitable and happy business relationship, the Five Elements Academy looked down upon the Titan Academy in the past, but now it looks so good-looking.
With such easy money, there is no reason why Five Elements Academy should not make money.
Who should I sell the spiritual stone to?
If Titan Academy wants to expand on the surface battlefield, it needs a large number of spiritual stones, and Five Elements Academy can provide just these. And Titan Academy is very straightforward in setting prices and never haggle.
This is definitely a high-quality customer, so it is natural to support him.
One is going down, the other is going up, but Taiyi Academy is not so happy. They have been searching and searching for some elixir to exchange for spiritual stones, so that the resources can complement each other.
The bargaining chips in this transaction were roughly equal. Although the Five Elements Academy did not suffer any loss, the Five Elements Academy did not gain any advantage either.
For the Five Elements Academy, they worked hard to operate the spirit stones, and if they didn't make a lot of money, they would lose money. If they didn't take advantage, it would definitely be equal to a loss of blood.
It's just that the other party is Taiyi Academy, so there is no way, and we really can't fall out at this stage. Besides, Taiyi Academy has some elixirs, which are really scarce, and are also needed by Five Elements Academy.
But generally speaking, after the outbreak of the surface war, the business between Five Elements Academy and Taiyi Academy was more of a transaction. No one was at a loss, but no one took advantage.
But Titan Academy is different.
Titan Academy invests real money and gives money happily and generously.
The money that was not earned from Taiyi Academy was earned several times from Titan Academy.
Therefore, in just a few months, the favorability of Taiyi Academy and Taiyi Academy in Five Elements Academy has completely changed.
This can be seen from the attitude of Shenguang University Scholar towards the two envoys from Taiyi Academy.
This is politeness with a touch of alienation, and alienation with a hint of ridicule.
One of the envoys said: "My chief sent us here specially because he had something to talk about. But I didn't expect that Your Excellency Shenguang would be so negligent. It seems that my chief's prediction is not wrong."
"Haha..." Archmaester Shenguang smiled indifferently, not being led by this messenger at all.
How could he not see that this man was pretending to make shocking remarks just to arouse his curiosity and ask him what he had predicted?
Bachelor Shenguang doesn't care at all.
You, Grand Bachelor Jiuxiu, cannot protect yourself, and Taiyi Academy is in trouble internally and externally, so why do you have the time to predict? You predicted so well, how come you couldn’t predict that Taiyi Academy would be in bad luck?
Of course, without turning his back on these words, Grand Bachelor Shenguang was still well-educated and did not say it clearly.
After all, if you say these words, the boat of friendship may capsize on the spot.
The purpose of Shenguang University is that even if we cannot be friends, we should not be enemies. There is no need to offend others because of the power of words.
What's more, if we can't be friends today, who knows what the situation will be like in the future? What if one day we need to have in-depth contacts with Taiyi Academy again?
Shenguang will never stop talking and block the road.
Seeing his lackluster reaction, the envoy couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Shenguang, aren't you at all curious about my chief's prediction?"
"I am not curious. What I am more curious about is when Taiyi Academy will be able to survive this crisis. After all, in our inner earth world, we still need the three academy palaces to work together to deal with the surface world."
The envoy was not surprised when he heard this.
He sighed sadly and said to himself: "It seems that the chief of my family is right. The Five Elements Academy is now so greedy for profit that it has been completely lost in the illusory interests. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction of the general trend. …”
Shenguang University Scholar asked himself that Xiangcheng Mansion was okay, but after hearing these words, he was somewhat irritated.
Are you still qualified to say this in Taiyi Academy?
What is the general trend? What is the general trend? Your Taiyi Academy really needs to understand what the general trend is, so how could you end up in this tragic situation?
Shen Guang's tone deepened: "Okay, there is no need to make false claims in front of me. Your Taiyi Academy is currently in a difficult position to protect itself. Doesn't it seem that you are lacking in confidence to say this?"
"The Chief is right. Our Taiyi Academy is indeed facing a crisis at the moment. However, the Five Elements Academy is so insensitive, and I'm afraid it won't be long before we follow suit. What the Chief is doing now is actually digging the grave of the Five Elements Academy. .”
"presumptuous!"
Grand Bachelor Shenguang was furious: "Scaremongering, do you really think that I have a good temper and won't attack people from your Taiyi Academy?"
