778 Eastern Amethyst – Ladder to Heaven! (1/2)
”If there were to be any harvest, a closed-door session will be necessary.” Yun Yang smiled. ”Yun Yang first wishes both big brothers a smooth breakthrough here!”
Ling Xiaozui replied seriously, ”We'll rush back as soon as we can before your final battle against the Four Seasons Tower. The Four Seasons Tower is our nemesis too; as enemies, they aren't exclusive to you!”
Yun Yang beamed but said nothing.
”As farewell looms, Yun Yang has another gift for both elder brothers. Perhaps, they'll be of help when the time comes.” With a flick of his wrist, a violet gas rose from Yun Yang's palm. Two pieces of purple crystals appeared where there were none before.
He extended his arm and presented a piece to each man.
Both men were already feeling rejuvenated once they were bathed in the crystal's revitalizing aura, but when they actually saw the crystals, their eyes shone as if there were light beams shooting out from them. The shock written across their faces was not at all hidden.
”This – is this not the legendary item of fantasy? The Eastern Amethyst that can change a cultivator?”
Both experts expressed their shock with their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. They even turned pale, the rapid thumping of their heartfelt like the organ was about to jump out of their throats.
Even with their masterly cultivation base and nearly unperturbable mannerism, the duo could not help the ripple of emotions that broke their well of peace when they beheld the two pieces of violet crystals.
These were the dream items that people rarely came across, despite the many years that had passed!
Just a single crystal was worth more than a city if it were to be exchanged into quantifiable wealth. Perhaps, it should be put as such – if they had something like this, they would never exchange it, even if someone else were to offer an empire's worth of fortune!
The Eastern Amethyst.
The ancient myth had another name for it – the Ladder to Heaven. As the name had it, it was akin to having a ladder straight to heaven if one were to be in possession of the Eastern Amethyst.
This was how it came by its the name.
”Absolutely not! This item is too precious! We can't take it!”
Despite the gripping reluctance and an irrepressible thirst for the crystals, a desire for such things that set a wildfire within them that was hardly containable, the two experts suppressed the strong emotions and rejected the gift.
Such items were not common treasured resources of heaven and earth. If they accepted it, the favor they owed would be gigantic. Of course, the crux lied within the fact that Yun Yang might not have known the real use and actual value of such crystals; if he knew about them in the future and regretted giving them away, everyone would be rendered in an awkward state.
Both Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou felt a twinge of conscience; putting themselves in Yun Yang's shoes, if they had given something like this to others, they would really regret it for life and an internal demon would be birthed from such an act.
”This thing is called the Eastern Amethyst?” Yun Yang was struck with a realization. ”Quite a nice name.”
”You didn't know?” Both elders chuckled without humor. ”All the more we can't have it!”
Yun Yang chortled and replied, ”Yun Yang understands the kind intention both brothers have for me. While I don't know the name of such an item and its actual use… I am not short of them. I don't have a lot, about a dozen… The saying is that things are rare when they're scarce. After giving one crystal to each of you, I still have about a dozen. It's something I should do, regardless.”
”A – a dozen?” The men's eyes dilated as their tone changed.
Such an unimaginable resource, such an ethereal item... it would be a lifetime's luck if one were to possess one or even half a piece, but he was giving out two crystals at a time and still had a dozen of them with him? So many?
If these two elderly men were not exceptionally composed and untainted by nature, they would have already brandished their weapons to rob Yun Yang!
