For a moment, no one spoke, sitting quietly in their seats as they waited.
Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Lang Fantian did not speak for a long time. He sighed softly, his brows furrowed.
Feng Guohai was much calmer, his eyes half-lidded while Xiao Yushu and the others looked thoughtful.
Although Li Yixin's words were a bit vague, everyone heard it in their hearts and each of them had their own understanding. Some chose to voice it out loud while others kept it to themselves.
The result caused the atmosphere to be heavy.
After some time, a soft boom broke the tension. The thick white fog that everyone was fixated on dissipated abruptly.
The group looked over instinctively.
A collective gasp rang out.
A handsome middle-aged man slowly stood up from the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Yixin excitedly and dashed over to hug him, crying out in ecstasy, "Brother, we have hope!"
At this moment, Lang Fantian and the others were all dumbstruck and tongue-tied.
It was as if everyone's mind had turned into the fragments of a cosmic explosion.
Song Changgong!
This handsome middle-aged man was Song Changgong?
It was the Song Changgong who looked old, wrinkled, white-haired, and had not long to live!
At this moment, everyone felt like they were in a trance.
'Am I … dreaming?'
'How did Song Changgong recover to his youthful state in such a short amount of time?'
'This is … the Qi of vitality!'
Had Song Changgong absorbed the Qi of vitality and achieved this result?
Thinking about it, everyone's gaze was focused on Yun Yang's face in unison. Their gazes were filled with fervent passion.
They recalled at the same time – how did this miracle happen?
What was the source of this miracle?
Although everyone knew that Yun Yang had obtained the Qi of vitality from the Spirit's Grave and had already spoken about its effects, they were still very excited. After all, it could prolong one's life and increase one's lifespan. It was extraordinary!
It was not surprising that the user's condition would improve as a result.
However, the outcome now was … Yun Yang had never mentioned that the Qi of vitality could rejuvenate one's youth!
Song Changgong hugged Li Yixin, hot tears streaming down his face. Li Yixin was also weeping.
The two brothers had been companions for their entire lives. They had faced the wind and rain, faced life and death, faced the world of martial artists, and most importantly, faced each other. These two old men had been companions for longer than anyone else.
Naturally, he had personally witnessed the struggle and hesitation of the other party. He had also personally witnessed the other party grow old along with him.
This kind of feeling, this kind of feeling, was indescribable.
And now, Li Yixin had personally witnessed the miracle that had happened to her big brother. The joy she felt at this moment was simply incomparable.
"Congratulations, big brother!"
Li Yixin said sincerely.
He silently said in his heart, "After seeing this scene, even if I have no hope, or even if I die immediately, I can go on my way without any regrets!"
Because his brother had recovered to his peak state through this karma, he naturally had the ability to take care of himself!
Even if he was not by his side, it was fine!
Song Changgong's eyes were fixed on Li Yixin's head of white hair and the crisscrossing wrinkles. He said pitifully, "Brother, you'll be like big brother. I promise! No matter what price I have to pay, I'll restore your youth. "
He turned around and calmed his emotions. Facing Yun Yang, he bowed deeply in gratitude. "Brother Yun, thank you for the Qi of vitality!"
Yun Yang returned the gesture quickly. "Elder Song is too courteous. It's a fair trade. I dare not accept Elder Song's thanks."
Although Yun Yang was touched by the brotherly bond between these two elders and had even thought of lending a helping hand to Li Yixin, the occasion was not appropriate. If he were to accept Song Changgong's thanks, both parties' stances would inevitably change and would no longer be the same as they had been in the beginning.
Therefore, Yun Yang was straightforward, attributing everything that had happened to them to a trade. Favors could exist in a trade, but they had to be viewed from a macro perspective. They could not be overly involved in personal feelings or else it would be biased and disadvantageous!
"I'm not being courteous." Song Changgong straightened himself and said seriously, "This old man knows your standpoint and attitude. I must thank the commerce league as well, but to you, this gratitude is unavoidable. This is especially so since this old man has a presumptuous request. "
Yun Yang looked at Song Changgong and then at Li Yixin, understanding dawning on him.
"Brother Yun, I believe that you know what this old man is asking of. Just name your terms. No matter what they are, no matter the price, this old man will not hesitate to ask for your help."
Song Changgong enunciated each word seriously, "My brother needs the Qi of vitality as well."
He straightened himself and said softly, "No matter the price, I can pay it!"
Yun Yang frowned and said, "Yun Yang has seen and appreciated the friendship between Elder Song and Elder Li, but when it comes to helping with the Qi of vitality, I can only promise to do my best to help both of you. I can't guarantee anything. After all, this is not something that I can decide. "
Song Changgong said, "Of course. This old man thanks Brother Yun for being willing to lend a helping hand."
Yun Yang thought about it for a moment and said faintly, "If … if I can't get it successfully, or if I'm delayed …"
Li Yixin's expression darkened.
Yun Yang's words seemed to be stating the pros and cons, but it was obvious that he was testing their brotherly bond.
Even if he did not have malicious intentions, he must have an ulterior motive – an impure one!
"Big brother!" Before Song Changgong could speak, Li Yixin had already spoken up, "Big brother, life and death are decreed by fate. It can't be forced. It's my fortune to get it, but it's my fate to lose it!"
Song Changgong shook his head, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at his brother. After a while, he smiled faintly and turned to face Yun Yang again. Suddenly, he raised a hand and said, "I, Song Changgong, swear to the heavens that if my brother can't regain his youth, then both of us brothers will live and die together, live and die together, come and go together!"
With a loud boom, thunder boomed in the air.
The vow was made.
It was a vow made to Heaven's Way!
Li Yixin had never expected Song Changgong to make such a decision. He could not help trembling as he froze, tears streaming down his face. "Big brother, you …!"
His voice was choked, unable to speak.
Since the vow had been made, it was too late to dissuade him. It was meaningless.
Song Changgong smiled faintly. "You and I are brothers. This is how it is. The promise of brotherhood in the past is still ringing in my ears. The Qi of vitality that I've obtained today was given to me by you. If you can't get it, why should I stay in the mortal world alone? We've roamed the martial world together for tens of thousands of years. We've been together for so many years. If you really leave first … do you really have the heart to let me suffer in loneliness and silence for a long time with guilt? "
