Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yun Yang gulped several tis. His eyes were staring straight, his breath quickened. Gazing at the table full of spiritual jade items before him, he was completely stunned and could hardly blink. His Adam's apple could be seen moving up and down. It was plain that he had an imnse desire and longing for the revealed treasure.
With a great deal of effort, he closed his eyes and with both of his hands making warding motions, he uttered with great difficulty, "Brother Lei, I am not the kind of person who would forget about justice for the sake of benefit. Even if I were to take them, I will have nowhere to place them … Please… I think you had better…" His words trailed off in anguish.
Lei Dongtian let out a faint smile. His right hand swiped across the ring on his left hand again.
A finger-sized, bright red fruit instantly appeared on the table.
However, the flesh of the fruit seed to be transparent, with the glimr of stars contained within. One would know that this was an extraordinary item, just by looking at it.
A thin layer of mist flowed over the fruit and lingered on the surface of the table. Within monts, an indescribable fragrance filled the air.
Lei Dongtian’s voice was languid, as he faintly introduced the new apparition, "Brother Yun, this is a five-hundred-years-old ruby fruit. Don’t underestimate this little thing here. Not only does it have an excellent taste, each ti one consus it, it increases the cultivation base of a practitioner by fifty years! "
"Fifty years of cultivation base?"
Yun Yang was more stunned than ever. His whole body started to tremble. The so-called decent deanor began to dissipate.
"If one was able to consu three of them, his cultivation base will increase by more than a hundred years. Nevertheless, each person can only consu, at most, three of these. Any extra will serve nothing more than to satisfy the appetite."
Lei Dongtian uttered slowly, "As long as Brother Yun is willing, to tell the truth, I can give you ten of these! I didn’t bring many as I was rushing out. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bring more of them for brother Yun!"
Yun Yang grew increasingly flushed. A sense of dizziness had seemingly engulfed him. While drawing a mouthful of breaths he uttered, "This is … this … this …"
Lei Dongtian could be seen beaming lightly, confidently waiting for him to make the choice.
Yun Yang breathed heavily. He could be seen biting his teeth and violently rubbing his cheeks. His eyes were red with anxiety. Finally, he uttered, "Brother Lei, an honest person will not lie!"
He closed his eyes and thrust his chin out. With a deep breath, he finally opened his eyes. In a desperately mad tone, he blurted, "The spiritual jade. I want thirty of them! As for this fruit, I want thirty of them as well! Above all, I want that ring on your hand! "
Yun Yang closed his eyes, his mind whirring. He then muttered, "I am going to be greedy today, and for once, be distasteful."
The old man in the black robes furiously growled, "You are clearly making an overt demand, do you know that these things are?"
Just as Lei Dongtian was about to urge the old man to stop, Yun Yang seed to feel a sense of relief. As he opened his eyes, he muttered, "I see. I was speaking out of turn. I am rely an inferior character outside the imperial court, what kind of ability do I have to be able to help Young Master Lei?"
Lei Dongtian could be seen staring fiercely at the old man in the black robe. Clearly, he intended to rebuke the old chap.
Yun Yang was obviously about to give in. The words of the old man in the black robes had caused Yun Yang rethink his motivations, making all the previous efforts of Young Master Lei futile. How could he not be angry?
The old man in the black robes ground his teeth and lowered his head.
"Brother Yun please don’t care about him. He is my escort; he always pays attention to the rits and derits of the apparent things. How can he understand the special kind of friendship between you and ." Lei Dongtian attempted to salvage the situation.
Yun Yang shook his head, "No, he speaks truly. I am too greedy indeed. Instead, I should never repeat such flaws again, by taking this as a lesson."
Lei Dongtian began, "Brother Yun …"
Yun Yang waved his hand and interrupted him, "Brother Lei, there is no need for you to say anything further. I have shown my ugly side by failing to resist my temptation…Sigh, I have always thought myself to be loyal to the country, but still … That was a cri of treason. It should not be done by any citizen of Yutang. I should not even have thought about it."
Lei Dongtian could be seen staring fiercely at the old man in the black robes.
The old man instant fell into a sullen silence.
Treason?
What a grave implication!
If one were to think about it, the legendary Nine Supres were indeed related to the fate of Yutang. What Yun Yang had said was probably true.
Lei Dongtian pondered for a mont and said, "Brother Yun, there is no need for you to make such an absolute conclusion. Regardless of whether it is the Family of Lei or myself, there is no conflict between us and your country. What’s more, our positions are not in a rivalry. Even if it's Lord Supre Wind, what I have is only respect for him. How about this; in addition to the thirty seven-colored spiritual jades, thirty of the five-hundred years ruby fruit as well as the Spatium Ring, I will also give you five Vivifying Herbs and three ridian-tropic pills! "
"Besides making the dantian and ridians more resilient, the Vivifying Herb can trendously increase the strength of deific consciousness. anwhile, the effect of the ridian-trophic pill is spectacular. If soone is facing any difficulty in his breakthrough, the pills will be able to smooth out the advancent by allowing him to advance to another level directly and to increase his strength by a three-fold."
Lei Dongtian uttered slowly, "These things, in addition to the spiritual jades and ruby fruits… Since Brother Yun is now at the seventh peak pinnacle, once you have all of these, they are sufficient to advance you towards the realm of Tenth Perfection or even higher."
"Based on your current strength, they will allow your strength to increase by a hundred-fold or more!"
"This is the biggest sincerity I can show."
"Once Brother Yun has used it, you can easily beco the top expert in the secular world within a year with the exception of a few fortunate souls."
Lei Dongtian was adamant, "I only hope that Brother Yun would be able to tell the story truthfully. I will be extrely grateful for that. Once the matter is settled, we can talk about further rewards!"
Yun Yang's breathing had once again turned heavy. He then struggled for a long ti, looking uncertain. After a long ti, he finally gathered the courage to utter, "I want these things right now!"
"That is a reasonable request. It won't be a problem at all!" Lei Dongtian laughed in relief.
He then turned around and grunted.
The old man in the black robes reluctantly removed his own ring.
Lei Dongtian took his ring with a snort.
If not for the interruption of the bastard earlier, there was no need to even offer the additional Vivifying Herbs and ridian-trophic pills.
The value of these two items was extravagant beyond belief!
"Brother Yun, this is a storage ring," said Lei Dongtian with a faint smile, "Co, let show you how to use it."
Under the earnest guidance of Lei Dongian, Yun Yang first used his blood to sar the entire ring. He then slowly imrsed the ring in his spiritual energy.
Finally, by utilizing his deific consciousness to establish a spiritual tie with the ring, he forced the ring to identify its new master successfully.
Only then did he start to practice using it.
Yun Yang, who had just turned a beginner, used his spiritual strength to focus on the seven-colored jade. The piece of spiritual jade then disappeared, following his thoughts.
"What a great thing! This is amazing indeed!" Yun Yang smiled jubilantly.
The old man in the black robes in the corner felt as if his stomach was about to explode.
Of course, it was great. That was my precious baby! My baby, on which I had spent almost half of my life on it… how could it not be great?
This damned greedy ghost!
It was too hurtful to contemplate.
He had had never suffer such a disadvantage in his life. His Spatium Ring was gone in just an instant.
"One, two, three … " Yun Yang collected all the seven-colored spiritual jades. Staring at Lei Dongtian eagerly, he had played his role as a wretch to its extre.
With a laugh, Lei Dongtian then took out ten pieces from t.
Yun Yang continued to store them.
He then collected the ruby fruit, all three of them.
Lei Dongtian frowned and waved his hand again. Twenty-seven ruby fruits appeared on the table instantly.
Yun Yang collected all of them with the sa thod.
Lei Dongtian then took out the Vivifying Herbs and ridian-trophic pills accordingly.
Yun Yang had collected all the spiritual materials in an orderly manner. Being thoroughly satisfied, he then put on the ring on his middle finger. rrily, he uttered, "It fits just right on my finger."
The old man in the black robes was apoplectic with fury.
This was clearly extortion!
Lei Dongtian was neither frivolous nor furious but remained calm. Within the depths of his eyes, an iciness was apparent, yet he uttered in a leisurely and unruffled tone, "Brother Yun … it seems like your country has taken every matter relating to the Nine Supres and Supre Wind very seriously."
He was asking for his reward.
Since you have received my remuneration, you had better say sothing to make feel that it was worth the money.
Yun Yang took a deep breath and smiled, "The story is too complicated and it has to be narrated part by part. Brother Lei need not be in a rush."
The icy frost within Lei Dongtian shimred briefly. While smiling he uttered, "Brother Yun, speak not in such a general way. My ti is precious. I can't afford any delay."
At this point in ti, Lei Dongtian had been filled with dissatisfaction. He was actually referring to himself while at the sa ti warning Yun Yang. If the value of the information was deficient, Yun Yang had better be ntally prepared to pay the price. How could one easily take advantage of ?
Yun Yun burst into laughter, "If Brother Lei was dissatisfied with the information, I will return all of these things untouched…Although there is nothing I can give to this secular world, I still have my head sitting on my neck. Can such a gift of apology be considered as sufficient?
Lei Dongtian laughed, "Brother Yun, you are taking it too seriously."
anwhile, his heart uttered; if you dared to get by , you wouldn’t have thought that I would not behead you, would you?
Yun Yang was pondering ticulously. After a long while, he then reopened his mouth and uttered, "This …is a long story."
He looked around and said, "Can you let the old one look after the door?"
Lei Dongtian nodded gently, "Of course."
Feeling as if his stomach was about to explode, the old man in the black robe then stood up furiously. Striding outwards, he stood upright at the entrance like a zombie.
"Brother Lei, it is not that I want to play tricks, as what I am going to tell today concerns the top secret of our country! I should not disclose it no matter what my position is and what kind of assurances brother Lei have given to !"
Yun Yang carefully caressed the ring on his finger. His face was full of bitterness,"I have been lured into benefit and lust and have lived in contradiction to the guidelines of my life. The only thing that I can hope for is that this move will not cause any harm to my motherland."
"Absolutely not!" Lei Dongtian uttered resolutely, "I promise, brother Yun!"
