Wandering in Omniverse

A few months prior

Jason paid a visit to the Li Xingyun's courtyard.

Stating his name, he was escorted by Li Hu, a trusted aide and right-hand man of Li Xingyun.

When they entered, Jason heard a dispute echoing from the hall.

"Young Master Li has a guest?" Jason asked, looking at Li Hu with a puzzled expression.

"Yes." Li Hu nodded. His mood didn't seem too good. "Please wait outside."

Jason looked in the direction of the hall and furrowed his brows, listening to the dispute.

Inside the hall were two well-dressed elders. One of them was having a dispute with Li Xingyun.

Listening to the dispute, Jason realized that the two of them were elders of the Ashen Flames Family and they were here to force Li Xingyun to concede and become the lackey of Li Yunfeng.

Jason smiled, finding Li Xingyun's character more and more to his liking. Li Xingyun highly values loyalty and that's also why Li Xingyun has been able to assemble such an unyielding following of brothers. Often, when a group of people follows a leader, it's not because their leader is stronger, but because their leader is reliable and would never do them injustice!

Soon the dispute was over as the elders left in anger. After they left, Jason walked in.

"Brother Nie Li, I never thought that you guys would come!" Li Xingyun showed a smile.

"And you can still smile." Jason smiled in reply.

"Why can't I? Should I be crying then? It seems like you guys overheard from outside. However, it's nothing much even if you guys hear it. It's just a family spat. It must have been a joke to you guys." Li Xingyun shrugged his shoulder, not caring about it. "I wonder what brings Brother Nie Li here?"

Jason smiled, "Actually, I have a deal for you. I wonder if you're interested?"

Li Xingyun couldn't help raising his head towards Nie Li. "What kind of deal?"

"Before I tell you about my deal, tell me if you get your hand on a God-level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirit. How much it will affect your position in the family?"

Li Xingyun looked at Jason slightly confused, not understanding his meaning. Still, he replied. "Brother Nie Li, anyone with a God Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirit can become the pillar of the sect and his position will rise exponentially. If I get my hand on one, then I can compete for the position of the successor of the family!"

"Great." Jason lightly smiled. "Because if Brother Li is interested, I can get you a God-level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirit!"

Li Xingyun's character was much to Jason's liking so he decided to help him.

Jason was mostly a lone wolf in his previous life so he knew the importance of loyal allies.

"You can get a Dragon Blood God Level growth rate demon spirit for me?" Li Xingyun's voice couldn't hide his surprise, his hands trembling in excitement.

Jason smiled and nodded his head, confirming it.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xingyun said, "What kind of deal do you want? As long as I can get a Dragon Bloodline God Level growth rate, feel free to name whatever price you want!"

Jason lightly smiled. "As for spiritual stones, a hundred thousand will do. Aside from that, you will owe me three requests!"

"No problem, don't hesitate! Speak!" Li Xingyun's voice trembled a little. A person with a Dragon Bloodline God Level growth rate demon spirit could become the pillar of the entire sect.

"My first request is to form an alliance with you, Brother Li. In the future, no matter what happens in the Divine Feathers Sect, no matter who I have conflicts with, you must stand by my side!" Jason stated.

Li Xingyun was slightly stunned as he looked at Nie Li. He only needed a moment to think before a light of determination flashed through his eyes. "Of course! Brother Nie Li is selling me a Dragon Bloodline God Level growth rate for only a hundred thousand spiritual stones. I, Li Xingyun, am not a man who is disloyal to his friends. If you have any requests, please feel free to voice them. As long as they are within my power, I will do my utmost. As long as it does not betray the sect!"

"Of course, I wouldn't ask Brother Li to betray the sect. That wouldn't benefit me either." Jason smiled and continued, "As for the other two requests, I'll tell you about them in the future."

"Alright." Li Xingyun nodded his head.

Jason smiled and with a flick of his right hand, threw a demon spirit stone over to Li Xingyun. "Here is the God Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirit."

"You... already got it?" Li Xingyun was dumbfounded. Li Xingyun quickly checked the contents of the stone in his hand and saw the Gold-Scarlet Blood Jiao-dragon inside. It really did have a God-level growth rate. He thought that Jason might need a few months to get his hand on one but he had never thought Jason had come prepared.

"Furthermore, it's also a mutated one. I guarantee that it's much stronger than the one that Li Yufeng's integrated with!" Jason smirked and tossed an interspatial ring to him. "And here are two hundred Extraordinary Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirits for your loyal brothers. You can just pay me according to the market price. I'll give you more if I get my hands on them."

"Since Brother Nie Li is so sincere then I wish a happy cooperation." Li Xingyun was dumbfounded, staring at Jason for over two minutes before he sighed and extended his hand as the duo shared a handshake.

Li Hu was shocked beyond words, watching the events unfold in front of his eyes.

"Brother Nie Li, I have a doubt so I hope you can just answer my one question. Why me?! Why do you come to me? You could have gone to anyone and they would have welcomed you with open arms." Li Xingyun asked with a smile. "You're not afraid that I'd go back on my word."

Jason smiled lightly. "Brother Li, life has taught me one good thing and that's the ability to judge a person's character. I can't say for others since I haven't interacted with them. But you're one of the most trustworthy and loyal people I have come across in my entire life."

Smiling, he continued. "Brother Li should know that trust and loyalty are the most rare things in the world because they are priceless. You can buy anything but not these two."

"From the moment we met, I know you're a straightforward and loyal guy, treating others as equals. Unlike those other descendants. Just look at Gu Heng, for example, he treated himself like he was royalty, wanting others to bow their heads to him. Hilarious! How can others compare to you?"

Li Xingyun was a little embarrassed for being praised like this. Rubbing his nose, he smiled. "Then I'll gather the Spiritual stones in the meantime."

They chatted for a few minutes as Jason asked him to gather information about the Deity Lakes in the outside world for him before he took his leave.

"Li Hu, what do you think?" After Jason left, Li Xingyun stared at the demon spirit crystal in his hand before turning to his most trusted brother.

Li Hu stared in the direction in which Jason left. "Brother Li, this Nie Li is a man worthy of trust. You can see that by his way of conduct and by how he treats his friend. He is very sincere and it can be seen by him selling such a precious demon spirit at such a cheap price. But it's just that..."

"What?" Li Xingyun raised his eyebrow.

Li Hu sighed, "He is just way too mysterious to me. He is like a bottomless abyss with nothing in sight to see. I just can't perceive his depths."

"You think he has an ulterior motive?" Li Xingyun asked.

"I don't know. But one is for sure, if you want to compete against Li Yunfeng who has the support of many elders, we need Nie Li. After all, aside from him who can just take out so many Extraordinary Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirits at the same time."

Li Xingyun nodded his head and a smile formed at the corner of his face.

'Brother Nie Li, just what are you?'
