Realms In The Firmament

‘I have been traveling the martial world for so many years. Nobody treated me well! Nobody knew me well! Nobody cared about me so much!’

‘We only met once, and he helped me this much.’

“I… I don’t deserve this…” Bai Long took a deep breath. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind. He poured out the Seven Returns Dan and put it in his hand.

No matter where the dan went, a cloud would follow.

Anybody could tell that it was a priceless treasure!

However, he was not thinking about how precious it was.

‘Is it real? Did he just give it to me?’

‘Just because he thinks I am a good man?’

He couldn’t help being excited. He kept thinking about Ye Xiao and started to feel respectful to him. He muttered to himself, “Young master… Young master… Who is he?”

…

‘No matter who he is, he is a generous, righteous, steady-going, and reliable man! He is a man who will achieve greatness! He is the man to follow!’

Somebody knocked on the door.

When Bai Long looked at the door, Sun Yunzhu had already got in. “Old Bai, I heard something over there. I was worried about you, so here I am…”

Suddenly, he looked at the supreme dan bead in Bai Long’s hand.

Even though he was ignorant, he was stunned by the splendid glow of the supreme dan. He was excited, and he said, “What… What the… What is that?”

Suddenly, he rushed forward and reached his hand ahead, trying to take the supreme dan bead from Bai Long’s hand.

Bai Long’s eyes flashed with caution. He didn’t resist it and only watched Sun Yunzhu grab the dan bead. He didn’t stop Sun Yunzhu.

“Is it… Is it the precious treasure, a supreme dan bead?” Sun Yunzhu apparently didn’t expect this. After meeting with his son, talking about how to lie to Bai Long, he started to pay more attention to Bai Long’s room. That was how he saw the light and smelled the scent from Bai Long’s room. In a surprise, he actually found a precious treasure!

“It is… Really… It is a supreme dan bead… It is… the Supreme Dan… The priceless treasure…” Sun Yunzhu couldn’t even speak fluently now, because he was too excited.

“That’s correct. It is a Seven Returns Dan bead in the supreme level.”

Bai Long looked at Sun Yunzhu and said, “It is a perfect antidote. It can remove all poisons in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, except the first three poisons on the ranking list. It can save a man from fatal poisoning, and it also protects a man seven times more against the poisons that might hit him. It pulls people back from the brink of death and offers seven times of protection. That is why its name is Seven Returns Dan.”

“In fact, although it can’t cure the poisoning of the top three poisons in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, it can ease the pain and suppress the poison for a long time. It is a supreme level dan bead, so it is much better than a normal Seven Returns Dan… It should be able to keep the poisoned man alive for quite a long time…”

“It is priceless.” Bai Long said. He sounded troubled.

“A Seven Returns Dan in supreme level…” Sun Yunzhu seemed to be obsessed. “It truly is such a great treasure… Hah hah… Old Bai, we are going to rich now.”

“Going to be rich?” Bai Long asked, and he sounded a little scary.

“Absolutely! Aren’t we?” Sun Yunzhu was almost about to get crazy. “Old Bai, you know what? With this treasure, we can be unbelievably rich! As long as we get this dan bead to the salesroom, it will bring us a fortune! I guess it can be millions of purple spirit coins. At least half a million! Think about the auction earlier. Think about those rare metals. This dan bead must be much more valuable than those stupid metal blocks.”

Bai Long weirdly nodded and said, “Hmm. If we sell it, we will get a lot of money. It will be incredible.”

“When we get that money, we will become one of the ten wealthiest houses in the City of Chaos!” Sun Yunzhu got his entire face turned red in excitement. “In the City of Chaos, nobody dares to start a fight against us because of the rules. We will be safe here. Nobody can rob us.”

“We can hire a lot of superior cultivators, even those in Saint Origin Stage!”

“It won’t be long… The Sun Family will rise up to the highest point.”

“The glorious future of my family will come after this supreme dan!”

Sun Yunzhu was excited. His eyes were widely open. “Old Bai, you have done a great thing for Sun Family this time.”

“Have I really? Done a great thing for your family…” Bai Long looked weird now.

“That’s right…” Sun Yunzhu laughed and said, “We will rise! And you have done a great job for us! Don’t worry, Old Bai. No matter what happens in the future, we won’t turn our back on you. As long as we are still alive, you will have a safe place to live!”

“Really?” Bai Long said, “But… If I lose this dan bead, I will die. The poison inside me will kill me any time…”

“What? What did you say? You are poisoned?” Sun Yunzhu was surprised. He looked at Bai Long and automatically held the dan bead tight as if Bai Long was going to take it away from him.

Bai Long looked at Sun Yunzhu’s hand and then spoke in a peaceful voice. “I am poisoned. The poison in me is too powerful. There is nothing I can do. This Seven Returns Dan bead is a gift from a friend. It can save me. Without it, I will die in two years.”

Sun Yunzhu hesitantly stepped back a little.

He looked at the dan bead in the splendid cloud and looked at Bai Long’s face. Apparently, he was struggling. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, “Old Bai… As you said, you still have two years to live. There is still time to find another way. We can do it. We don’t have to waste the supreme dan… You know we are never going to get another chance to rise if we let this one go.”
