Chapter 341 - Pocketing Any Obtainable Advantage!

"Hades Herb?" Dong Tianleng's ears perked up. "Boss, don’t you worry. I will find you one, even if I have to go find it in Hell."

"Great, you do that."

Yun Yang cupped his palm over his fist and said aloud, "Four brothers of mine, friends, a happy meeting shall always end. Let us not forget this day no matter where we are. The martial world is vast, the world is wide. We shall meet again in the future!"

"Young Master Yun, take care!"

"Boss, take care!"

Dong Tianleng and his cohorts turned back as they walked out of the Residence of Yun together. Their last sight of Yun Yang was the man in his usual purple robes, standing in the snow, looking tall and lean while wearing a handsome smile; his elegance was extraordinary, like a beautiful portrait.

All four of the popinjays unexpectedly felt their hearts clench at the same time; they almost started weeping in sorrow.

"Boss, take care…"

Their voices were tinged with a sob.

Yun Yang waved his hand softly, a mien of blessing colored his gaze as he muttered in his heart, "The four of you take care as well. We will meet again in the future if we’re fated to."

The people from the four noble families had finally left.

Lei Dongtian had stood behind Yun Yang with his arms behind his back for some time now, watching the retreating backs of the group and asked faintly, "Why didn’t you let them stay? Why make them leave?"

Yun Yang kept quiet for a moment, chuckling softly, but did not deign to explain himself.

"They do not possess a high cultivation base, but they can still fight, and we would have the advantage in numbers. If necessary, they can still be used, even as a means of slowing the enemy down," Lei Dongtian said.

Yun Yang replied softly, "If I had kept them here, I’m afraid that not a single one of the hundred and thirty-five of them could stay alive in the end."

"That's the reason you let them go?" Lei Dongtian asked incredulously.

Yun Yang nodded and said, "Since their strengths are limited, why keep them? They’ll only expose our flaws further!"

Lei Dongtian kept silent for a moment. How could he not know that Yun Yang was only speaking reservedly? He could also tell that Yun Yang did not want the people from the four noble families to die in this battle due to his relationship with the four young masters. Otherwise, they would not be able to face the wrath of their families, whether the four young masters survived or not!

Yun Yang got hold of his emotions and turned back to look at Lei Dongtian, uttering seriously, "Brother Lei, if you were like them, I’d send you away as early as I can too! It’s not a lie when I say our short friendship feels like a lifetime!"

Lei Dongtian felt a warmth in his heart as he said, smiling, "Truly?"

Yun Yang answered, "Even now, I still hope that Brother Lei will consider leaving and returning home to avoid the Four Seasons Tower!"

Lei Dongtian felt his heart warm with a surge of emotions. "My good brother! I won’t leave."

He turned to look at Yun Yang. "I apologize for dragging you into this whirlpool of muddled water. Don’t worry, I shall ensure your safety! Worse come to worst, you and I shall die together!"

These words were spoken sincerely by Lei Dongtian from the bottom of his heart without a hint of pretense.

"Brother Lei!" Yun Yang exclaimed, deeply touched.

"Brother Yun!" Lei Dongtian replied, moved as well.

In the residence, Old Mu watched the two men in the snow through his window and felt a hint of wonder. Was there such genuine brotherhood in this world? It’s simply too precious. For the young lord to meet this Yun Yang this time, it was all worth it, no matter the aspect of cultivation base, practice or friendship…

Similarly, Bai Yixue watched the two men in the snow through his own window and felt nothing but admiration. My young master is really a gifted genius! This is obviously one legendary con man! The biggest swindler since the beginning of time! The unprecedented all-around actor! An absolute crook no one can surpass! The wildest wonder to ever exist!

"Brother Lei, this brother really has something that requires your help."

"What is it? Speak! If I can do it, you need not say another word."

"Seeing that the big battle is impending, my pills and medicine here…" Yun Yang found it difficult to speak honestly. "I hope Brother Lei can help me prepare for the rainy days."

"Absolutely!" Lei Dongtian chortled easily and said, "Speaking of which, it’s this older brother’s fault. I should not have forced you to ask. I should be penalized indeed. Here you go."

His finger swiped to his right and said, "Are thirty of these enough?"

"More would be better. My subordinates aren’t the most skilled of practitioners, but their loyalty is without a doubt. I believe that the more capital we have to ensure our lives, the more it will benefit this battle," Yun Yang replied.

Lei Dongtian laughed. "Then I’ll give you a hundred. Here are ten bottles of pills for internal injuries and ten bottles of pills for external wounds. There are ten pills in each bottle. Here are a hundred portions of medicine for external application and here are a hundred portions of medicine for bones and meridians…"

"Thank you so much!" Yun Yang looked extremely grateful.

"Brother, you would yourself in danger for me. How can mere medication be worthy of mention?" Lei Dongtian exclaimed.

Yun Yang stored everything in his ring before asking worriedly, "Brother Lei, you’ve given me a lot of high-quality medication. What about yourself? It’s not that this young one doesn’t believe in your capability, but this… the weapons don’t pick their target…"

Lei Dongtian replied with great assurance, "Don’t worry, I still have twenty portions of these with me. It’s enough for us."

He then continued proudly, "They won't find it so easy to hurt us."

"For that, I’m really relieved," Yun Yang said, comforted.

In the room, Bai Yixue’s expression underwent spasms.

The man only had a hundred and twenty portions of those top-grade medicines, but Yun Yang had managed to swindle a hundred of them… This was not merely generous; he had basically given almost all of what he had to Yun Yang and kept only a little for himself.

Bai Yixue completely believed that if Yun Yang were to sell something Lei Dongtian now, the latter would even help him raise the price tag gleefully and count the money for him! This was an unquestionable fact!

"Brother Lei?"

"Speak, my brother. There’s no need to be apprehensive between us brothers, speak easily."

"It's like this. This younger brother has a lot of queries regarding cultivation. My older brother is an expert in cultivation. I wonder…"

"Speak, speak of any doubts you have. This older brother shall answer them for you! Not to toot my own horn, but I’m really adept and know more than you. One can’t go about cultivation carelessly…"

After a very long time.

"Brother Lei."

"Speak, my brother!"

"This young brother has consumed three ruby fruits yesterday and felt that I’ve gained a lot, but I still find it difficult to diffuse the medicinal strength and use it as my own. I guess I need a catalytic process. If Brother Lei is free… can you help me? The process to hasten the absorption of medicinal strength as my own…"

Time was running out. Yun Yang was instinctively pocketing any advantage he could get his hands on, making endless requests as time permitted.

"Yes, I have been careless about this. I should have helped you train. The earlier you absorb all the medicinal strength, the more you have to protect yourself with! It’s decided! This older one will train with you. Don’t worry, brother. You need not worry about the instability of your own realm, this older brother will control my power precisely and condense the entire process into one and a half days. As long as you can take it emotionally, I can stabilize and solidify your cultivation base, melting all of the hundred years of cultivation base into you!"

"That’s great!"

In the one and a half days that followed, Lei Dongtian stuck close to Yun Yang. They were either practicing with each other or training together, being closer than even Siamese twins.

Lei Dongtian kept his word strictly, controlling his training power in an accurate manner and maintaining it slightly above Yun Yang’s point of acceptance to ceaselessly train him.

"Brother, you’re a genius! I’ve used a power that is an entire level above you, but I can’t completely subdue you. Let me try a level and a half higher."

"A level and a half didn’t reach your limit either. Brother Yun, your combat ability is really impressive…"

"Two levels and a half… Wow! Brother, this is older brother’s first time seeing a genius like you with such combat sense! I’ve only reached your breaking point with three whole levels higher than your cultivation base!"

"Speaking of combat sense, you’re the absolute first in the younger generation I’ve met…"

"Brother Lei, you’ve flattered me… This young brother is nothing great."

"It's still the same. There’s nothing that can be altered in cultivation. If it is, it is; if it’s not, it’s not. There’s no way to exaggerate it!" Lei Dongtian praised him formally.

Yun Yang sighed, "It's too bad that this younger one’s physique is too complex… No matter how hard I train and push myself, I’m still inferior before a real genius. Besides, my current state will only incur another’s jealousy. Any misstep and I might attract a fatal fate."

Lei Dongtian had indeed felt some sense of jealousy initially, but upon hearing what Yun Yang had said, he felt petty. He could not help feeling upset for Yun Yang and said, "Brother, don’t be disheartened. Everything depends on our own doing. As long as there’s enough hard work, there’s nothing that can’t be done. Practice makes perfect, it’s the principle of cultivation!"

Yun Yang sighed.

Lei Dongtian continued to motivate him, "Don’t think unpleasant thoughts. Come, this older brother will throw you some attacks! Come on, let’s perk up! Smart Brother Yun, in my eyes, you are an absolute genius, not a useless person who gets disheartened!"

"When your physical strength is close to breaking down, you must persist! Go on, persevere! Continue to hold on!"
