1001 The Upright and Virtuous Leader, Supreme Cloud (1/2)
”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?
