Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1522

“Prime Leader, Master, please let me introduce my friend.” Master Guan said shakily, pretending to be weak and aged. Song looked at him and really wanted to kick him into death. ‘Shameless bastard! You are healthy and strong enough to kill a dragon with one fist hit… yet you pretend to be so weak… You should be an actor, and give the position to other people…’

“This old master is the clan leader of the Song Clan in the City of Chaos. He is not famous in the martial world, but popular in the City of Chaos. After all, twenty percent of the people who worked on managing the city was from the Song Clan.”

Master Guan said, “Prime Leader, you asked me to recruit more people, but I have asked all my men to come. Well, when I was thinking about what to do, Master Song appeared in my mind. So I asked him to give us some good men who used to work for the government. I know this doesn’t sound appropriate because the Song Clan doesn’t have to help me. We are a small organization, after all. Well, I decided to have a try, and I got lucky. Master Song actually came in person… Flattering…”

Song nearly jumped up and beat Master Guan up. ‘What the hell? You have asked all your men to come, huh? Oh, I see! You have sent everybody of your clan to come, and then you finally started to think about us! What do you mean you decided to have a try? What do you mean I give you some men?’

‘What the hell? What did you ask? Why some men? I want all my men to join the Monarch’s Hall! You bullsh*ting bastard! What do you mean not appropriate? Why didn’t I notice how good you are at acting?’

‘Damn you! The Song Clan doesn’t have to help you? You are a small organization, after all? Flattering? You old bastard! You are setting me up! You will see!’

Master Song wanted to join the Monarch’s Hall so badly that he failed to keep a normal heart. The Monarch’s Hall was small-scaled and has a low-reputation, so it should be useless for a big clan like the Song Clan. Master Guan wasn’t trying to offend him at all. However, Master Song believed Master Guan was trying to push him out of the Monarch’s Hall, and he wronged Master Guan!

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up. He was surprised that Master Guan had so many connections in the city. Master Guan had recruited hundreds of capable men to work on the daily affairs of the Monarch’s Hall, and now he brought the leader of a big clan in the City of Chaos. Ye Xiao stepped forward and gently said, “I see. Thank you so much, Master Guan, and you too, Master Song. Welcome.”

Master Guan laughed and said, “That is my job.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Don’t be too humble, Master Guan. You are the main pole of the Monarch’s Hall. The Monarch’s Hall will live well without me but definitely couldn’t continue without you. You have worked too much for the Monarch’s Hall… Hah hah…” And then he turned to Master Song, and said in a deep voice, “I am grateful for your help, Master Song. I appreciate it.”

He was such a clever man, and he knew Master Guan asked Master Song to come.

He thought that Master Guan might have forced Song to come.

‘Well, look at him… That is not a friendly face. He doesn’t care about a small organization like us, I guess.’

However, he didn’t feel offended.

‘No matter how arrogant you are, how you neglect my new organization and me, I don’t care. The City of Chaos is changing. Soon there will be a lot of capable men. Master Guan said that twenty percent of the officials were from the Song Clan, which means eighty percent weren’t! At the very least, if people in the City of Chaos don’t want to join us, we can go out to the Limitless Ocean!’

‘How many people are out there? There are so many that we don’t need to care about the thoughts of one clan!’

‘I have a lot of money. I will find a way to make all the capable men in the Limitless Ocean come over, so I can pick those I like from them!’

After some meaningless chitchat, Ye Xiao talked to Guan Tiemian again, “Master Guan, you have been working so hard. Will you be okay? Look, I got a piece of blood ginseng the other day, which is thirty thousand years old. I will bring it to your room so that you can make some good tea for yourself!”

Master Guan laughed and said, “A thirty thousand years old blood ginseng? That must be valuable. Well, I am totally fine, but I do not want to refuse your kindness, Prime Leader. I will humbly accept it! The Monarch’s Hall has just been established, and this is the most important time for the organization. I will do whatever I can, as much as I can. We won’t regret it if we do well enough now.”

Ye Xiao nodded and respectfully said, “Anyway, you should be careful of your own health. Take some rest if you feel tired. Sometimes you should let others do the simple work. If you do everything alone, why would I need the others?”

Guan Tiemian nodded and looked happy.

He was no longer the famous Guan Tiemian anymore.

Song looked at the old man and the young man, and he felt so jealous. The regret in his heart was causing pain.

‘I should do this myself!’

‘The old cunning fox took the first step now. It is easy to remember those who help you when you are in need, but always easy to forget those who give you more when you already have what you need… Look at the young man. How nice and warm… How generous, capable, and heroic…’

‘Most importantly, he cares for the elderly… That isn’t fake…’

‘A thirty thousand years old ginseng was not too expensive, but it shows his kind heart!’

‘It is obvious…’

‘Most importantly… His name is Ye!’

‘The Ye Clan!’

‘What does it mean?’

Ye Xiao hesitated, and then glanced at Song. After that, he reached his hand into his pocket and took out a small purple jade bottle.

He hesitated again, and finally took it out. He said, “Master Guan, you can make some tea for yourself with that blood ginseng… Here… I took a few dan beads out when I left home… There are three Miraculous Life Dan beads in the bottle. One of these dan beads will heal all the wounds inside you, and your physical condition will return to its prime… Well, after that, in one hour, eat one more. It will give you five hundred years more to live.”

The two old men were both shocked. ‘Those are precious dan beads! How could he just take it out so easily?’

‘Isn’t he afraid that we might kill him for the dan beads?’

Song was so jealous that his eyes turned blue. He said, “Come on, the Miraculous Life Dan only provides one hundred thousand years! How come your Miraculous Life Dan provides five hundred? We are not ignorant fools…”

In fact, as the leader of a big clan, Song shouldn’t talk like that. However, he was so jealous that he had to say it.

Master Guan felt so good to see the old man being jealous like that.

Master Guan said, “Come on! One hundred years. Five hundred years. It extends one’s life. Isn’t it really that important to live eternally? Come on. One hundred years is more than I need!”

Song was going to say something, but Ye Xiao smiled and casually said, “Normally, a Miraculous Life Dan dan provides one hundred years. Well, in fact, it always just extends one’s life for about sixty years. My Miraculous Life Dan beads are different though.”

He smiled and said, “The three Miraculous Life Dan beads are at the supreme level. That is why they are different! In fact, I should call them the Supreme Miraculous Life Dan!”

Supreme dan!

The two old men were both shocked.

The two old men were too powerful and experienced to be amazed by the normal Miraculous Life Dan.

On one hand, they had seen a lot in the martial world, and the Miraculous Life Dan wasn’t rare to them. On the other hand, normal Miraculous Life Dan couldn’t save them from their old age anymore…

However, the Supreme Miraculous Life Dan was a totally different thing!

The ordinary Miraculous Life Dan was valuable too, but not too difficult for some high-level dan makers to make.

However, the Supreme Miraculous Life Dan was totally different…

That was Miraculous Life Dan at the supreme level…

These must be the only three Supreme Miraculous Life Dan beads in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

There weren’t any other Supreme Miraculous Life Dan in the world!

In fact, this was the first time the Supreme Miraculous Life Dan ever appeared in the world since the ancient years!

The Miraculous Life Dan was a great dan, which seemed to be from the heavens. Ordinary dan makers were never able to produce it.

Well, a Supreme Miraculous Life Dan bead was definitely unparalleled!

Those were three unparalleled dan beads!

“Supreme dan? How come?” Master Guan was shocked.

Master Song was more in shock.

The two old men almost got their eyeballs popped out. They kept staring at the small purple bottle in Ye Xiao’s hand.

Ye Xiao wasn’t surprised about the old men’s reaction. He blandly smiled, looked around, and opened the bottle.

When it was opened, some colorful clouds started to rise from the mouth of the bottle. In just a few seconds, the cloud had wrapped the upper part of the bottle and kept rising up.

The colorful cloud was floating. It was just a small piece, but felt like the clouds in the sky had all come to the room.

A scent spread out as well and kept getting into their noses. The two old men took a breath and felt so warm and relaxed!

They couldn’t feel more clear-minded and refreshed.

One breath of the scent of the significant dan beads, and they were shocked. They could never imagine how good it felt if they didn’t experience it!

They definitely couldn’t suspect the dan beads of being real, could they?

They had never seen any dan beads that could make them both have such wonderful feelings.

If these were not supreme dan beads, what could they be?

Master Guan was shaking, and he said, “This is… Well… This…”

Ye Xiao closed the bottle and put it into Master Guan’s hands. He sincerely said, “Master Guan has done a great job for me. You worked hard, and you never regret, even though you are already an old man, you worked like young… I watched everything, and I am full of gratitude and respect. However, I don’t want you to get hurt and…”

He paused and didn’t say the rest, but the two old men both knew what he meant.

Ye Xiao continued, “The dan beads are your reward. Thank you for your hard work.”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “I always heard people said that an old man is like a treasure. I want you to live long and live in health. I need you to give me advice, so I don’t go in the wrong direction… I hope that when the Monarch’s Hall reaches greatness, you can witness the glory with your own eyes. When that day comes, I want to have a drink with you, for the days we will be with each other!”

Guan Tiemian’s eyes turned red, and he said in a shaking voice, “I… I have been in the Monarch’s Hall for only a few days… I am weak. All I can do is to go here and there, giving instructions to the others… There is nothing more I can do for you, Prime Leader… I don’t deserve this. Someday, there will be a man who is ten times more useful than I am to you… When that man appears, you should give these dan beads to him…”

Ye Xiao held his hand and said, “Come on, Master Guan. Embellish what is already beautiful can’t compare rendering timely help. Master Guan, you deserve this. Don’t turn me down. I want you to have them.”

And then he said with a joke, “If you don’t take it now, I am going to change my mind soon… Hah hah…”

Guan Tiemian was sobbing. “Thank you… Thank you, Prime Leader!”

Master Guan carefully put the jade bottle into his pocket.

Ye Xiao was relieved, and he said, “A few days ago, I checked your pulse on the wrist. You are not well, Master Guan. Your body is full of wounds… There are some extremely severe wounds inside your body… Master Guan, take it easy. Things will be better.”

Master Guan nodded, and his lips were shaking.

Song watched the whole thing, and he was so jealous that his eyes turned blue.
