Lang Fantian and the others were stunned. The shock that ran through them was indescribable nor was it comparable to any other feeling they had experienced before.
All that was left were overwhelmed gazes trained upon the two brothers, respect brimming in their orbs. They had always known that both old men had supported each other throughout their lives and that the bond of their brotherhood was earnest, tightly knitted, despite the tribulations of life and death. However, never had they imagined that the kinship they shared was so profound and unchanging regardless of the circumstances!
One had given the hope of recovering his youth away when presented with it, while another was willing to give his youth away despite having already recovered it for his brother - how precious such a brotherhood was!
Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi exchanged glances, both catching the shame reflected in each other’s eyes. The one person hardest to lie to was none other than oneself. If they were asked, would they give such chance away, when faced with one, like these two old men?
Both of them shook their heads silently in bitterness. Perhaps, their bond had yet to reach that level; perhaps, it was the workings of destiny, but most importantly, they had never possessed such a strong sense of brotherhood!
“Vice Chief Lang!” Song Changgong turned to Lang Fantian and said, “We brothers may have to stay at the Residence of Nine Supremes for some time now.”
Lang Fantian nodded easily. “Don’t worry, Elder Song. Leave it all to me!”
He patted his chest with confidence.
Although Lang Fantian looked rugged in appearance, he was no fool; he was the Vice Chief in the General Commerce League. It was apparent to him that Song Changgong was fully rejuvenated and he was also back in his prime, the third level pinnacle of Supreme Saint, at that too!
The capability was secondary. Essentially, it was the addition of at least a few thousand years of cultivation time he had from now on. With Song Changgong’s experience and temperament, no one could be sure of the level he could attain in the future. Nevertheless, there was no doubt he would be much stronger than he was currently.
If Song Changgong could owe Lang Fantian a huge favor during this moment, how much of an investment it would be! Even if there was no part of a favor involved, a rapport could still be earned - it was similarly a worthy investment. Moreover, if it could even be a favor. Li Yixin who would go back to his youth was included as well.
Considering this, Lang Fantian had a huge advantage. It was basically having two more pillars of support in the General Commerce League’s highest authorities.
On the contrary, if Lang Fantian were to continuously dismiss and delay the request, it was less important that he would offend both elders and fail to earn their favor. The most direct consequence would be the General Commerce League losing both Song Changgong and Li Yixin because Song Changgong would definitely go with Li Yixin if the latter were to die. It would mean that the league’s trade with Yun Yang this time was entirely wasted, their efforts were totally pointless!
As it stood, of course, Lang Fantian had to pat his chest in assurance in addition to making his promise happen.
Warmth was radiating of Song Changgong’s handsome face. “Thank you, Vice Chief Lang.”
As he spoke, he took his spatial ring down and passed it to Lang Fantian alongside Li Yixin’s ring, speaking slowly, “These are our life savings. If they aren’t sufficient for Brother Yun to enter the Spirit’s Grave again, please help to gather what’s lacking, Vice Chief Lang.”
He then smiled and said apologetically, “Everyone, we brothers have something personal to talk about. Brother Yun, please prepare a meditation room for us, thank you.”
Yun Yang made the arrangement without a second thought. “Feel free, elders.”
Song Changgong left slowly, holding on to Li Yixin.
Everyone else watched their retreating backs, their stares still shocked and moved.
It was without question that Song Changgong must have gone to unravel Li Yixin’s meridians. Li Yixin’s current state could no longer be alleviated by ordinary external resources, but it would still be somehow effective for Song Changgong to rectify his brother’s physical body using his recovered third level pinnacle Supreme Saint cultivation base.
Additionally, both of them were familiar with each other’s capacity and bodily flaws. Under such circumstances, Li Yixin could definitely wait till the next supply of vitality Qi, if it could be obtained, with Song Changgong’s support!
All of them believed that Song Changgong would strive for the time needed with his life for Li Yixin.
…
After the group watched Song and Li off, their gazes were exceptionally ardent when they turned back to Yun Yang.
“Brother Yun!”
Lang Fantian was flushed with excitement. “The Qi of vitality is divine! It’s really a marvel…”
Feng Guohai and others looked equally flushed with shining eyes and blubbering words like they were drunk. Even Bai Yuxi and Wan Qingliu, both Supreme Saint experts, were thrilled.
What was heard could be purely rumors, what was seen would be reality. No matter what Yun Yang had said and what they had felt with their divine senses previously, it was not like when someone actually went through and experienced the efficacy of the vitality Qi.
The miraculous phenomenon amazed all of them now that it had been used on Song Changgong, someone whom death was knocking on his door, as the true power of the vitality Qi was dissolved.
As the wonderful as the Qi of vitality Yun Yang provided, as much as the laudation it should receive!
“Cough… Vice Chief Lang!” Feng Guohai coughed several times and eyed Lang Fantian. “Let us discuss the price tag of the Qi of vitality… How does headquarters regard the vitality Qi? Is there a considered value?”
He tilted his head and glanced at Yun Yang, saying with a smile, “I believe that Brother Yun is the most concerned with this!”
“Right, right. This we should - we should…” Lang Fantian broke out of his daze as if struck with a realization.
The situation was obvious. Yun Yang had brought the Qi of vitality; its efficacy was proven to be true; it was now a tested and true product of quality. Once it was considered a product, there should be its pricing, especially now, when they were already discussing the next supply of the vitality Qi.
If the value they posed did not match his price and he was unable to take another portion of the energy out… what would they do? Therefore, their quotation must be carefully placed in addition to inclining higher than lower worth.
Lang Fantian had only thought about it for an instant before he decided, saying openly, “The league’s headquarter did have their qualms about the Qi of vitality before I come. Now, the doubts they had were no longer of significance. I shall state the Chief’s opinion directly.
Like Feng Guohai had mentioned, Yun Yang was indeed concerned about the Qi of vitality’s price tag.
“The Chief said… as long as the Qi of vitality is proven to be effective, we can follow the highest quotation, offering a million of upper-class spiritual jade.”
Feng Guohai sucked in a cold breath subconsciously when he heard Lang Fantian.
A million upper-class spiritual jade! Ten thousand pieces of lower class spiritual jade equaled to only a piece of upper class spiritual jade. A million upper class jade would mean ten billion lower class spiritual jade pieces!
A total of ten billion pieces of lower class spiritual jade it was! The lower class spiritual jade was the most common currency circulating around the Bound of Universe.
This was only the quoted figure for a one-time Qi of vitality transaction and it already carried an astronomical price tag!
