I Am Supreme-Chapter 998 - Take It All Out!

“We can, at most, swap a few of the heaven and earth treasures for now… The rest really can’t be helped,” Lang Fantian said with a long face, “Besides, the value of these treasures swapped would be much higher, be it their market price or actual worth, than the original…”

Yun Yang’s eyes shone. “You can reduce an item if it exceeds the price. It’s fine. The point is not to have repetitions.”

‘Take it all out, since you have new items!’

Lang Fantian was caught, faced with this unexpected twist; his dazed expression was proof of his emotions.

The General Commerce League had prepared plenty of resources this time around, but the majority of the items were similar to the few types in the last exchange. This was their plan, to barter; to exchange their treasures with identical items. This was the most basic and most common strategy. This was also the biggest source of the league’s confidence in assuming that they would obtain the Qi of vitality.

In spite of this, the reality was exceptionally brutal. The current situation was the exact opposite of their expectations. Their initial strategy had become their own trap. Not only could it not reap the desired outcome, but it also became their hindrance. Although the remaining heaven and earth resources were abundant, a substantial amount of them were either singular items, highly valued, or had unique purposes…

To Lang Fantian, he was more than unwilling to trade them.

After all, these treasures were useful in their own terms and rarely could they be acquired again. Even if there was no choice but to enlist them as exchange items, they should be let go slowly… Once the commerce league was to obtain other treasures, these should not be given away as much as it could be avoided.

It was unexpected that the goods were pointed out directly – what was the difference between this and revealing their trump card?

Lang Fantian looked agonized as he said, “I only think that it’s scarce… I’m not… If so, then… Keeper Feng, do…”

Yun Yang’s mind worked quickly, saying, “Vice Chief Lang, the current situation is somewhat unusual. I think that you should just take everything out. Let us discuss what’s the best arrangement. After all, I’m the one who knows about the person in the Spirit’s Grave the most… I really don’t want a transaction of repeated items like today to happen again… For it to happen once is already one too many times!”

The group looked at each other in dismay. They knew that what Yun Yang said was reasonable, but they also knew that this fellow had ulterior motives and was making use of this pretext.

‘Although you’re the only one who knows about the bias and preference of the person in the Spirit’s Grace, we don’t have anything to judge this claim – we can only listen to you!’

‘Take everything out?’

‘Won’t it all be up to you if we really do take everything out? People say you shouldn’t announce how wealthy you are; this is in absolute defiance of that…’

Now, even Xiao Wuyi was a little dazed.

Yun Yang smiled. “For all the numerous trades we have had, each time was a joy of collaboration and each of us reaped the profits we wanted. Up till now, I believe that you won’t be stopping after these exchanges, right? Despite having rare treasures, they’re but trading chips in the future. As for the gems from the Spirit’s Grave, the quality has gone distinctly from low to high. It’s up to what you think about whether the items should be exchanged as soon as possible or kept for the future. Personally, I always feel that these treasures are perhaps uniquely effective, but they may not fit the current urgent need. How one decides between this and what’s needed desperately now will be up to you.”

“Will you only need the Qi of vitality once?”

Yun Yang spoke indifferently, “There are still the Qi of Dao, Qi of heavenly Dao, the energy of soul… do you not have need of these items?”

“If you do intend to obtain the mentioned goods, I lean towards you disclosing the exquisite items you have and compile them as soon as possible. I’d not like to experience a lose-lose situation due to a mistake in one of the links. Moreover, one may have to pay a higher price later for being momentarily stingy. Who knows…”

“An unparalleled master, who’s like a myth… his experience and knowledge need not be explained compared to ours! If the senior inside thinks that we’re playing a trick, well…”

“Maybe all of you feel that I’m coveting the resources that you so cherish. I’ll be honest, I do have such an intention, but other than considering my personal profit, I’m also accounting for your league’s profit and loss. The sun and moon can bear witness to my sincerity.”

“Whatever I say, it’s still up to you seniors to decide. If you don’t want to do so or if you have any considerations, it’s fine to carry on like this too.”

Yun Yang smiled lightly. “Truth be told, I don’t really mind.”

Xiao Wuyi and Lang Fantian exchanged an unsettled look, with no words to say. It seemed that Yun Yang was making quite a lot of sense.

Retaining these excellent graded heaven and earth resources could be of use sometime later, but compared to the Qi of vitality, Qi of Dao, or even the realm’s amethyst Qi, they were insignificant. The contrast of the level between the items needed no further elaboration.

Since this was the case, these goods would have to be passed to Yun Yang sooner or later. It was only a matter of time!

Xiao Wuyi frowned. “Fantian, hand the resources that we’ve brought along this time directly to Brother Yun. It’s a matter of course anyway, let’s save ourselves from quoting prices every time.”

Lang Fantian sighed, “Might as well.”

He reluctantly passed his spatial ring over and said, “The others are fine, but there’s a Spiritual Jade Snow Ginseng here that’s one hundred and fifty thousand years old. It already has a sense of spirituality… Also, two Spectre Ginseng that is eighty thousand years old, three to four Frozen Jade Lotus that are twenty-seven thousand years of age… These are exquisite spiritual herbs that one can only dream of…”

Xiao Wuyi could not help the slight twitch on his face as he involuntarily glanced at Lang Fantian.

“I didn’t know that you would actually carry all our most valuable items here.”

With his collected air, Xiao Wuyi still could not help feeling pained.

Once these items were traded, it would be extremely arduous to find another one of them. Perhaps, there would not be a second chance throughout this lifetime.

Yun Yang smiled and said, “If you’re reluctant or you’re still doubtful, it’s fine to take them back. It’s not like we’re only trading this one time.” His smile was distant as he continued. “As Chief said, it’s only a matter of time. It’s not a waste as long as it can be used.”

Xiao Wuyi and Lang Fantian were speechless when he said that.

It was true. No matter how precious the spiritual herbs were, they were wasted if they could not be used. What was the purpose of forcefully keeping them? Why not trade them off and save themselves the headache and heartache?

“Fabian, give all the resources to Brother Yun. I ask you to help us distribute the items, Brother Yun, to see how many times of an entry could these resources make.” Xiao Wuyi decided immediately.
