I Am Supreme
Chapter 955: A Magical Seal

Since the Qi of vitality already belonged to the commerce league, whoever dared to steal it must be somewhat bored with living!

“Report it immediately.” Feng Guohai’s decision was swift.

“Let the leaders decide who is to receive this ball of energy.”

“Let us wait here without intervening.”

“Young brother, how long can the seal on your arm last? Will the efficacy decrease along with time?” asked Xiao Yushu while looking at Yun Yang’s right arm covetously. He looked like he could barely wait to swallow the arm whole.

Yun Yang replied in a troubled tone, “I don’t know… I didn’t make this seal, so I can’t tell… It could be a day, maybe a few days – perhaps even a month… I won’t be surprised if the energy dissolves in the very next moment. What right do I have to be concerned with the senior’s otherworldly skills?”

The three elders glanced at each other soundlessly.

Right.

It was as if he had not said a single thing, but it was as good as if he had delivered a conclusion.

Without further delay, Feng Guohai took out the messenger jade and delivered his message promptly. The matter had to be sorted out as soon as possible lest there were consequences and impediments.

Yun Yang saw the messenger jade blink three times in rapid succession. After a while, it glowed like candlelight, beaming incessantly like a lit lantern flickering in the wind. It was a sign that the messages were flooding in from the other end.

Feng Guohai was occupied with replying the messages, hinting that there was more than a person posing questions on the other end. It was only after some time that the messenger jade finally quieted down.

Wiping the sweat beading on his forehead, Feng Guohai chuckled dryly, “Chief and Vice Chief have thrown in their lot as well. They’re holding an emergency meeting and will need a little time before they come to a decision.”

Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao chortled without looking surprised, replying, “As expected. Demand is high but the supply is low. It’s only a matter of course.”

“Basically all the eldest heralds in the league have come to the autumn of their lives. Most don’t have long. in this world, quietly resting in anticipation for their last breath. It’s probably today or tomorrow for the fastest one, a day more is a day earned but death’s door is simply unavoidable.”

“Now that there’s this Qi of vitality, hope has finally bloomed. Who to give it to, however, is still a big question.”

Xiao Yushu sighed, “If the several heralds could recover, the league will have several Supreme Saint combat powers… There is the possibility of Regal Saint… Not only will this aid the Celestial Luck Banner meet, but it’ll also seal the deal for the league’s eternal existence.”

Yun Yang asked from the side, “Should this energy be given a price tag? A big part of receiving this vitality Qi is because the senior is very delighted by the excellent items presented, but I dare not guarantee that I can obtain it every time. We must come to an agreement on this, so I ask for you to fix a price first. Don’t worry though, the energy on me is already yours. What I think about is having an approximate standard after this, so we both can be happy and satisfied with our cooperation!”

“Of course I understand. This Qi of vitality is invaluable to cultivators of our generation! However the evaluation goes, the value will not be lower than the total value of the items we’ve brought. The actual estimation will have to be decided by headquarters after they come. We can only wait patiently now,” Feng Guohai answered with a humorless chuckle.

What he meant was clear. Yun Yang’s mention of evaluation had already exceeded his authority. He was unable to have a say. In spite of this, he had suggested the extraordinary worth of the vitality Qi – at least, it would not be lower than four hundred thousand pieces of upper-class spiritual jade.

“Brother Yun, can I have a look at your arm?” Xiao Yushu suddenly requested.

Yun Yang was expecting this; he extended his arm and was grabbed by the elder trio simultaneously. He was shocked, exclaiming, “Be careful! Don’t lift the seal…”

The trio was embarrassed even as they carefully lifted Yun Yang’s arm and felt it cautiously.

“What a divine technique – it’s utterly profound…”

Xiao Yushu sang his praises and said, “Using the almost intangible divine sense to seal something tangible within the arm is an absolute stroke of godly skill. Not only is the vitality Qi not leaking, but it’s also not merging with your physical body either. This is incredibly bizarre! As I feel it with my deific consciousness, I can clearly feel the refined energy inside, but it doesn’t at all affect Brother Yun’s autonomy towards his body. This technique here is certainly a marvel.”

Gu Jiuxiao and Feng Guohai shared the same sentiment, expressing how impressed they were as well.

Even if the cultivation base involved was not taken into consideration, the ability to produce such a seal was already strikingly impressive. Although the seal could be lifted with some cultivation, the trio knew that they would not be able to produce a similar seal if they were asked to. Not only could they not do it, they did not even understand the structure of it! At the very least, what they already knew about creating seals could not enable them to do so.

What was certain now was that there was a ball of vitality Qi resting between Yun Yang’s wrist and elbow. It was tangible, the vigor brimming to the touch, but there was not the slightest bit of drainage. It was a rare sight to behold.

“The Spirit’s Grave as it is – an otherworldly power!”

The trio was overwhelmed with adulation.

That night, Feng Guohai and his friends stayed at the Residence of Nine Supremes. They could not have left as the matter was an important one. They had to stay to wait for those from headquarters and witness the receipt of the Qi of vitality in completion of this transaction.

Could they have gone to the headquarters with Yun Yang? No matter how bold they were, they dared not risk it!

On that night…

“This isn’t the first time we’ve come. Why does it feel so oppressive this time? It doesn’t feel like an illusion to me…” Gu Jiuxiao felt uneasy like someone was perpetually spying on him and he was fully unclothed.

It felt like pinpricks on his back.

Feng Guohai and Xiao Yushu felt the same, implying that Gu Jiuxiao was not wrong in his senses. However, what masterly expert could the newly erected Residence of Nine Supremes have?

” Is this really not our illusion? Surely it’s not our doubts messing with our head?” Feng Guohai asked in vexation.

Once he said this, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
