914 New Blood! (1/2)
Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang had never dreamt that they would ever have the chance to possess Ethereal Amethysts in this lifetime!
Such things only existed in sects with Celestial Luck Banners. Furthermore, one could only own them if they were in the higher ranks of the sect or disciples of the innermost circle!
Before this, the two of them felt that being able to own a piece of Yin Yang Jade or to chance upon some other treasure would already be the biggest blessing they would ever experience.
However, how could Yin Yang Jade even be compared to Ethereal Amethyst?
Ethereal Amethysts were the holy grail of cultivation — it was a damned good item that could be used for a good hundred years.
To be able to cultivate anytime, and to be able to reap such benefits on a long-term basis…
At its maximum capacity, Yin Yang Jade could only help in finding some valuable trinkets to be sold for some money… This, however, was on a completely different level!
Simple showrunners? Nothing much? Just a little welcome gift? Those words were completely overlooked and tossed out of their minds!
He might say that it's just 'a little something', but that was just him being humble. They were fools if they really believed that — big fools indeed!
”Thank you, leader!” Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang cried, their hearts filled with gratitude and emotion.
Although they still might not comfortably acknowledge their reality now, they felt so much better than before.
”This leader of ours isn't a stingy person after all.”
”Having this piece of Ethereal Amethyst is equivalent to possessing the stacked-effect of luck associated with sects that possessed low-tier Celestial Luck Banners. Of course, there's still a difference, but it's still negligible… In that case, joining the Residence of Nine Supremes might not exactly be the greatest thing ever, but at least it's not a bad thing…”
Since we've already taken heaven's oath, let's just be complacent and stay here. We need to live up to Boss Yun's kindness after all — let's just see what these Ethereal Amethysts have in store for us.”
”It's death for us if we leave anyway. Being alive is a lot better than being dead, so why not stay here with like-minded comrades and work towards our goals together? We might even do a damned good job while we're at it.”
Their initial shock was wearing off as they gripped the Ethereal Amethysts in their hands, their hearts gradually settling down, having a renewed hope for the future.
”There's no need to thank me, really, there's no need to.”
Yun Yang smiled warmly. ”As for your positions in the Residence, we'll talk about it after the two of you are fully recovered.”
Shi Wuchen sputtered the moment Yun Yang mentioned that. His expression turned serious even as he remained silent.
Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang were astounded deep down within them, although they might not show it on their faces.
Boss Yun's every move is always unexpected. His words clearly indicated that he didn't consider having us as the central force of the Residence of Nine Supremes, as he's still quietly judging our performance. There's nothing wrong about this, according to the general regulations of a sect, but judging by how he has already given us the Ethereal Amethysts, it doesn't seem to make sense…
Wait, if the Ethereal Amethyst was just a welcome gift, what would be in store for us if we become pivotal members of the sect?
When the two of them reached this thought, they dared not let their thoughts go any further!
They truly did not dare to exercise their imagination. The Ethereal Amethysts were given to them, each a piece — such a flashy move was enough to ward off some people. If this goes on in an even more over-the-top manner, it would totally beyond their imagination!
”Shi Wuchen, what's your role here?” After keeping silent for half a beat, Ren Qingkuang directed his gaze towards his brother-in-arms to probe for an answer.
Between the three, Shi Wuchen was the elder of the Residence of Nine Supremes. It was possible to determine his current rank by judging the level of his title -- this tiny detail would reveal the answer.
”There are nine positions as Supremes in the Residence of Nine Supremes, as its name suggests. Our leader is Supreme First, which is Supreme Cloud.” Shi Wuchen replied gleefully. ”I'm ranked second as Supreme Sword.”
”Supreme Sword…” A burning-hot gaze shot out of Ren Qingkuang's eyes.
Ren Qingkuang usually beat his foes by the means of hidden weapons. However, his best weapon was also the sword. Hence, when he first heard the name 'Residence of Nine Supremes', he could already imagine that the sect's topmost level must consist of nine men to be true to its name.
