I Am Supreme

Chapter 1001: The Upright and Virtuous Leader, Supreme Cloud

“Elder Li,” Xiao Wuyi said with a smile, “Do consume the Qi of vitality quickly. The commerce league’s… advance in the Celestial Luck Banner contest will depend on Elder Song and Elder Li.”

Li Yixin’s wrinkled face wore a faint smile. “Don’t worry, Chief. I shall do all I can for the league’s career. Even if I have to die, I wouldn’t say another word about it.”

Under everyone’s curious gaze, Li Yixin opened the seal on Yun Yang’s arm and absorbed the Qi of vitality. Then, Song Changgong swept Li Yixin and himself into the meditation room with a wave of his arm.

“Chief, we brothers will dismiss ourselves first, to recuperate quietly.”

“Very well.”

It was now the start of a climatic event - Xiao Wuyi’s consumption of the Qi of Dao.

The Qi of Dao had always been an item of legend, one which could be met, but never be found. Even if there were to be a fated encounter, the ultimate result was like what Yun Yang had said; the enlightenment would differ according to people; it could be big or small, a lot or a little. There was no certainty, but surely, it was beneficial!

Lang Fantian stood guard, the epitome of concentration. His eyes hardly blinked while his body was tense like it was about to explode. His first objective was to observe and peek at the usage of the Qi of Dao - his second, to guard Xiao Wuyi.

There was no room for even the slightest mistakes during this moment. Once disturbed, Xiao Wuyi could easily be overcome by his internal demon!

After all, it was the legendary Qi of Dao that was entering one’s body. There must not be any fault.

To Lang Fantian, the General Commerce League had obtained a big advantage in today’s transaction. The Qi of Dao, alone, was already a dream that no amount of wealth could measure up against. If one must place a price tag… Adding all the heaven and earth resources the General Commerce League had gathered this time totaled to a maximum of seven million upper-class spiritual jade pieces, which was an astronomical figure, but could it buy a sense of the Qi of Dao?

What a joke!

This was because the Qi of Dao was never a representation of resources, but serendipity! It was serendipity that one could only come across with incredibly good fortune!

Yet, the commerce league had obtained it now with a method that was no different from trade. The good fortuity was amazing.

“Brother Yun, your nobility and integrity will be remembered by heart!” Lang Fantian’s gaze towards Yun Yang was brimming with sincerity.

Why? If Yun Yang had said that there were only two rewards from this transaction, no one could actually find out. After all, the General Commerce League would recognize the trade as long as they received the Qi of vitality. Who would have thought that there was a third gift; what was more, the Qi of Dao!

Therefore, it was undeniably easy and risk-free for Yun Yang to keep the energy for himself.

He did not do that - this was evidence of his character and morals!

He was truly upright and virtuous!

At least, Lang Fantian thought that he would most probably pocket the Qi of Dao if it were him. The least he would do after that would be to recompense the commerce league more when his cultivation base came to an achievement.

“You’re too polite, Brother Lang. The heavens are watching us. What’s yours is yours,” said Yun Yang with a smile, “Besides, the senior also said that… he’ll give me a chance to acquire the Qi of Dao in the future, so you don’t have to regard me too highly.”

“Brother Yun has really good luck.” Lang Fantian was incredibly envious.

Yun Yang chuckled looking at Lang Fantian before he suddenly spoke to him in a psychic voice, “Vice Chief Lang, I’ll try to get a portion of the energy for you too if there’s a chance in the future.”

Lang Fantian plopped onto the floor swiftly. His jaw dropped, his tongue-tied, and his face was speedily turning purplish as his lips trembled.

Feng Guohai was shocked.

What was going on? Could the Vice Chief who had been on guard was first bitten back by the mystical cultivation method before the Chief who was absorbing the Qi of Dao was consumed by his internal demons? Why else was there such a situation?

“Truly?” Lang Fantian blurted in a shaky voice, unable to hold himself back. However, he wanted to tear his mouth off once he spoke.

What the f*ck! Yun Yang used the psychic voice to talk to him - what a secret it was, how could it be made known to the others? What should he do now that he had blurted his reply? It would definitely cause suspicion!

If Feng Guohai were to speak, to spur the doubt of others, he would not be able to redeem himself from the waves of questions that would ensue!

This was the Qi of Dao. It was not comparable to anything else!

Yun Yang answered him faintly, “I’d never tell a lie. The senior did say that if he could receive heaven and earth treasures that are on par with the Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng, he still has the Qi of Dao to give. Maybe… items that are even more precious.”

Lang Fantian was relieved instantly as he stared at Yun Yang with gratitude, saying, “The league shall do our best!”

“I was made known to your league’s sincerity several times. We’ll definitely have a seamless and happy cooperation,” replied Yun Yang with a laugh.

Lang Fantian replied from the bottom of his heart, “Of course! Of course!”

His face remained flushed for a long time before it returned to its normal hue.

After some moments, Xiao Wuyi woke up from his meditation. He looked lost and worried as if he had awakened from a dream.

“Big brother, how is it?” asked Lang Fantian.

“It’s profound and sagacious!” Xiao Wuyi said with gleaming eyes, “The legendary Qi of Dao is true to its reputation. The Dao is endless, it’s not to be realized within a day. To be completely enlightened, I’m afraid… at least a few more years will be needed!”

He stood up and suddenly bowed to Yun Yang, saying formally, “Brother Yun, your great contribution is not to be concluded without thanks. I, Xiao Wuyi, will not forget this for the rest of my life!”

Yun Yang replied indifferently, “You’re too courteous, Chief! This belongs to your league. I’m only a middleman and I only take what I should get, so I have a clear conscience.”

Xiao Wuyi chuckled and suppressed the waves of emotions inside of him to say, “I know it, I know it all!”

He easily fished out a spatial ring and continued. “Brother Yun, this contains a million upper-class spiritual jade pieces. It’s not to compensate you, it’s just that… you’ve just started your sect. There must be plenty of areas that you’ll need to spend a fortune on. This older brother is fond of you the moment I laid eyes on you, so this mere amount is only a small present to congratulate the establishment of your sect. It’s a token of my thoughts. If you still regard me, brother, then don’t you utter a word of refusal.”

A million pieces of upper-class spiritual jade had actually become a small present, a token of one’s thoughts - Amazing!

Yun Yang accepted the ring, looking embarrassed and said, “Cough, cough. What you said… really… I’m quite embarrassed to accept this.”

Xiao Wuyi let out a hearty laugh and was not bothered at all. Instead, he was relieved.

The matter today was of the Qi of Dao, a subject deeply related to one’s karma. If he could use a million upper-class spiritual jade pieces to redeem this karma, Xiao Wuyi would be absolutely delighted to do so.

…

The white fog dissipated in the meditation room.

Two handsome, middle-aged men exited the room, shoulder to shoulder. Both of them had fine builds with a sophisticated air around them. Their movements were elegant and gentle, their polished aura evident.

They were Song Changgong and Li Yixin, the Heaven Sword and Earth Saber!

Both of them looked somewhat emotional, inexplicably moved.

The rest of the group congratulated them simultaneously.
