I Am Supreme
chapter-901

"The Ethereal Amethysts are with me," Shi Wuchen explained, seeing that Lang Fantian had paused in the middle of his sentence.

"Sigh!"

A forlorn sigh could be heard before anything else was said. Yun Yang's tears looked like they were about to fall from how maligned he felt.

"The lord was very unhappy with the resources I brought in. He said that I didn't complete my task well this time. I failed spectacularly, and he almost killed me for that…"

Yun Yang looked forlorn, his head hanging low.

"Some of the upper-class spiritual jade pieces were barely accepted this time… everything else wasn't. Furthermore…"

He fell silent as he looked up to Lang Fantian and the group.

The three elder men turned red and coughed simultaneously in an attempt to stave off the awkwardness, only to highlight their presence as the current source of discomfort instead.

"However, it doesn't matter much. This is the basis of our cooperation. It's necessary. After all, to supply the lord with resources he's content with solely based on my own power is simply unrealistic."

Yun Yang continued, "However… I really don't know how to describe what happened next."

"Young brother, just speak the truth. What befell you?" Lang Fantian asked with sincere curiosity.

"Actually… actually, I have something I neglected to mention earlier. The senior inside is only a deific notion…"

Yun Yang quietly said the following after a moment of silence, "The elder passed me a cultivation method and took me in as a disciple, only by name. He said that if we can meet one day, maybe… maybe there's hope for me to actually be his disciple. Now it looks like my chances are slim. I am such a useless one, to be unable to reach his expectations and waste such a fortitude… Sigh…"

The consequence created by the two statements was incomparably shattering.

It was only a deific notion!

The first statement of six words felt like a thunderbolt that struck Lang Fantian and the other three men's heads! It was only a deific notion, but it was so powerful! If the tangible form were to come… how powerful would he be then?

There was also… the namesake disciple?

To be a namesake disciple of such omnipotence was overwhelmingly impressive! Although he was a namesake disciple who could be killed at any time, he was still the only person in this world who could enter the Spirit's realm!

What about the hope of actually being a disciple? That was the goal of advancement!

"Since we plan to work with Brother Yun, we shall face any and all difficulties together. What's more, the General Commerce League will be able to gain a massive profit from this partnership as well."

Lang Fantian said ardently, "Do speak of any challenges you have, Brother Yun."

He was being exceptionally sincere, changing the term of address and no longer using 'young master'. It used to be Young Brother Yun and so forth, and while it seemed friendly, the superiority was still evident.

Now, it was Brother Yun. The superior tone had taken a one hundred and eighty-degree turn!

After the episode in the mountain, be it Lang Fantian, Gu Jiuxiao or Xiao Yushu, no one thought of recruiting Yun Yang as their disciple anymore.

Who would dare to snatch a disciple from such a powerful master? Were they bored with living?

In addition, how could Yun Yang regard them any higher with the lesser cultivation base they possessed?

They had vaguely considered capturing Yun Yang and manipulating him, but now… none of that kind of nonsense even crossed their minds!

What a joke – would you dare capture him even if he let you?

Previously, they were still doubtful about how Shi Wuchen, the Tri-Autumn Swordsman, a Saint level cultivator, was willing to submit to Yun Yang. Now, it seemed that Shi Wuchen was the shrewd one who knew how to invest. Such a leader-follower relationship was not simple to come by. Oh, how envious and jealous and resentful they were! It was not so much resentment, actually, for it was not too late to build a bosom relationship even now!

Shi Wuchen who was being wholeheartedly envied was, in fact, innocent. He had his plan, but he did not carry such wild wishes. He could only think of this as his fortitude – everything was destiny's doing.

"To prove my innocence, I have... mentioned our partnership," said Yun Yang.

Lang Fantian's expression turned dark immediately, as did the other three men's.

'He sold us out?'

'We're marked from now on as well?'

'If so, is it still alright if we don't cooperate with you now? If this omnipresence were to come after us… how can the mere General Commerce League take it?'

All four elders felt as if they were on board a pirate ship.

Previously, they were in it for the huge profit that could be reaped. It was a situation where Yun Yang was the one compelled to work with them. Now, however, had things turned around?

"The senior expressed that he understood it, but he needed a plethora of resources inside. This time, he stated it directly to me."

Yun Yang sighed softly and began to count on his fingers.

"The spiritual jades pieces are required… a large amount of upper-class spiritual jade pieces asked were only the minimum and most basic request… It'd be best if there was a supply of substantial divine class spiritual jade pieces. Other than these, he needs the Celestial Mystical Gold, Celestial Punishment Gold, Celestial Meteorite Gold, Star Core, Steel of Luna Soul, Cloud Copper… Polar Silk, mystical beast cores… various heaven and earth gems of five thousand years and above, the more the better…"

He only came to heaven and earth resources after listing over a hundred kinds of metal and two hundred types of items.

After the long-winded list, not only was Shi Wuchen shocked, even Lang Fantian and the group who prided themselves for being vastly experienced and knowledgeable were stunned into wide-eyed silence, slacked-jawed and speechless!

The senior had asked for so many gems at once. Furthermore, he was not asking for one per type but the more the better. Anyone knew that the more the better, given how wonderful these items were, but the more practical question was – how much equivalent resources could you give back with the intention of absorbing so many gems?

Everyone saw how omnipotent the senior was and that on in itself made for a strong sense of reasoning. However, to ask for so many things so directly, it did not seem sound.

"Consequently, according to how much or how few things I bring in each time, the compensation that the Spirit's realm provides me will be adjusted accordingly. The reimbursement doesn't stop at these Ethereal Amethysts; there are plenty more like the Celestial Amethyst Qi, the air of vitality… the spiritual energy of pulse, the power of soul… they include these items that we only hear about in myths. It can even provide the force of divine sense and an assortment of medicinal pills, like the Youth Recovery Pill that could return a senile man to his youth within a night, the Emerald Cloud Pill that gives a person a millennium worth of cultivation base almost immediately… the Seal-Breaker Pill that can help one achieve a breakthrough, disregarding the realm… and many more weapons, so on and so forth…"

After saying so much, Yun Yang chuckled bitterly and said, "It's unfortunate that other than the Ethereal Amethysts, I haven't received anything that I've mentioned. Everything above was relayed to me by the lord. I'm just letting you know all these, but I can't prove that they actually exist… It's such a shame!"

The four experts were all wide-eyed and gasping.
