I Am Supreme Chapter 1000 - The Qi of Dao

Chapter 1000: The Qi of Dao

After some time, the sounds of heavy breathing could be heard coming from inside. Immediately, everyone knew that Yun Yang had returned!

“This is way too convenient…” Xiao Wuyi was amazed. “The world is truly vast, that all sorts of miracles are possible. Still, how can one believe in such an encounter if one hasn’t personally experienced it?”

Yun Yang sauntered out, grinning widely.

“How was it?” Xiao Wuyi and Lang Fantian asked simultaneously.

Song Changgong’s gaze was especially fervent. Li Yixin, who was standing by the side, looked indifferent, but his hands had still subconsciously clenched into fists.

“Luckily, I have not disappointed anyone. It has been successfully completed!” Yun Yang chortled.

Very carefully, he pointed to his right hand with his left and pointed to his left hand with his right before he chuckled proudly, pleased with his accomplishment.

“Hahaha…” Xiao Wuyi was instantly relieved, and he laughed out loud. “Brother Yun is blessed with luck indeed, to be able to make dreams come true.”

“The process of this entry was much smoother than I imagined. The Spirit’s Grave senior is very contented with the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng. He said that it has reached the rank of the lower cla.s.s and that he could even consider the spiritual herb. He’s very happy… As such, I braved myself to tell him that although it’s mostly a lucky coincidence that I could produce the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng, more of it is for a reason, that a senior is urgently in need of the Qi of vitality. That’s why I’ve used the ginseng as a medium of exchange…”

He continued with a wide beam. “Guess what’s the outcome.”

The others did not respond to him, but smiled in unison, knowing that Yun Yang would not be keeping them hanging if the outcome was not a good one. As a compatible and understanding partner, of course, they would have to act along when he had done so; otherwise, how could the game continue? It was just that everyone present was of a significant status…

Among the General Commerce League crowd, Feng Guohai held the lowest position. Seeing that no one replied, he could only ask himself to overcome this challenge.

“How was the result?”

Yun Yang laughed. “The senior agreed immediately without a second word. He’s indeed generous and a very sophisticated being.”

The group felt speechless – Oh, how unsurprising!

“The senior has given ten pieces of the Celestial Amethyst for p this trade.” Said items appeared on the table with a wave of Yun Yang’s arm.

The amethyst Qi was radiant, illuminating the room in its iridescence and thickening the spiritual Qi by twofold.

The group swallowed instinctively.

The Celestial Amethyst was not a scarcity in the Residence of Nine Supremes but it was still a rare commodity in the outside world. It was valuable, but there was hardly a supply for it. When the ten pieces of Celestial Amethyst appeared in a batch, needless to say, they would easily stir the yearning of more than eighty percent of cultivators in this realm!

“The second reward received is, of course, the Qi of vitality. Other than that, there’s a third item…” Yun Yang was grinning.

Feng Guohai need not take the initiative this time as Lang Fantian was the first to ask, “A third item? There’s a third item?”

Yun Yang laughed. “It’s like what we’ve guessed. The senior is very contented with the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng. He especially feels that it’s grand age has exceeded his expectations. With my current ability, there’s simply no reason I could get it, but the reality is that I’ve gotten it. That’s why he’s given another reward.”

“The senior is pretty straightforward and generous.” Lang Fantian looked reverent.

“According to what the senior said, this third gift is more precious than the Qi of vitality. You can decide on your own whether that’s the case, Chief’ I shall not say much,” said Yun Yang again, grinning.

“What is it?” Xiao Wuyi was unsparingly inquisitive. “Everyone here can count each other as brothers. There’s nothing that can’t be spoken about. Do tell, Brother Yun.”

Lang Fantian and the others looked moved, but Xiao Wuyi had immediately regretted his words for winning them over.

“Since the respectable Chief is faithful to the brotherhood, I shall stay away from being a despicable one as well. Everything is your league’s reward from the trade… This third gift is a sliver of Qi of Dao! Other than possessing the source, this sliver of Qi of Dao imparts enlightenment. Whether the final fruit is big or small, a lot or a little, it all depends on the individual’s fate.”

The group was silenced at once. All five pairs of eyes were wide as saucers. Xiao Wuyi’s mouth was open wide; there was only one remorseful thought in his mind – oh how he wanted to land a big fat slap on his own mouth!

‘What a big mouth!’

‘That’s the Qi of Dao! The dream of every martial artist, the Qi of Dao!’

‘There’s only one strand of it!’

In spite of it, it was known to all five of them. What was worse was that it was within Yun Yang’s arm; one would have to absorb the Qi of Dao once he lifted the seal.

Who would it be given it to? Who would it not to give it to?

There was only one among the five who could benefit from it. Everyone else would have to watch the energy slip away from their own grasp!

Song Changgong coughed and spoke first, “Chief has previously promised that the Qi of vitality obtained this time will be given to Yixin. This is an immense bestowal. Both of us brothers will be shameful if we were to covet the Qi of Dao but allow this old man to say something given my age… No one else in this league is suitable to receive this strand of Qi of Dao except Chief.”

“Yes, yes,” Feng Guohai chimed easily knowing that he absolutely stood no chance.

Lang Fantian was flushed, coughing before saying, “Yes, right, Other than big brother… I’d fight whoever covets it.”

Xiao Wuyi was equally flushed as he coughed dryly. After some time, he said, “If so, I… I’ll be thick-skinned. In the future, if Brother Yun redeems more Qi of Dao, you’ll have the priority privilege, my fellow brothers.”

It was not that Xiao Wuyi did not want to make any pleasantries. It was just that he knew well that now was not the time to be courteous. What if there were someone as shameless as Yun Yang? What would he do then?

To ill.u.s.trate his point, if he had said, “Elder Song’s cultivation base is the highest among us and he’s gone back to his prime, in addition to having a crystal clear heart. I think that Elder Song is more suitable than I am.”

If Song Changgong had replied with “Since Chief has said so, this old man will accept it humbly. I shall serve the league to my death from now on”, that would be awful.

The possibility was not great, but there was still a sense of anxiety that Xiao Wuyi dared not risk.

During a time like this, the grace of a Chief and everything else should just be cast aside!

No one else made another sound after what Xiao Wuyi said but the atmosphere grew tenser.

Musing, Xiao Wuyi could only sigh helplessly in his heart. He knew that his carelessness today, a.s.suming that he was showing his generosity, had instead trapped himself and caused a small b.u.mp of dismay among his brothers. He understood that he had resolved that sense of upset as much as he could when they returned, but he was lost about how he should go about it…
