"Damn, no way, are you really giving it away!"
As Li Qi spoke, many of the Tribulation Crossing cultivators present were instantly dumbfounded.
They opened their mouths wide, some in disbelief, even suspecting they had misheard.
That was a small batch of complete meteorite fragment clusters. Although not much remained after repeated divisions, even estimating the smallest amount, there should be over ten Dao Meteorite Fragments within the remaining clusters!
Ten Dao Meteorite Fragments. This was more than the luckiest cultivator among them, who had been searching for scattered Dao Meteorite Fragments during this meteor eruption period, had found in total – only six.
And he was just giving them away?
Following this, under everyone's gaze.
The Tribulation Crossing second-level cultivator whom Li Qi had called out instantly showed a look of surprise and joy.
This Tribulation Crossing second-level cultivator was naturally Yin Chuan.
Yin Chuan had initially thought there was nothing more for him. During this meteor eruption period, his luck had been neither bad nor particularly good; finding four Dao Meteorite Fragments had already satisfied him.
But he hadn't expected that after Li Qi snatched the remaining last batch of meteorite fragment clusters, Li Qi wouldn't hoard it all for himself, but would leave one-tenth of the meteorite clusters!
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, sir!"
Yin Chuan thanked him profusely, his eyes overflowing with excitement.
With a flicker of his body, he directly arrived at the meteorite fragment cluster that Li Qi had left for him.
Divine sense surged from his body, spreading outwards.
Yin Chuan's body trembled with excitement.
With just a casual sweep of his divine sense, he had already found four Dao Meteorite Fragments. If he were to search through all the remaining meteorites, his gains this time would almost catch up to his total harvest from the previous few days!
At this thought, Yin Chuan's excitement intensified.
Effortlessly smashing the meteorites and collecting the Dao Meteorite Fragments within.
At this moment, envious gazes shifted from Li Qi to Yin Chuan.
Compared to their earlier envy of Li Qi, at this moment, the cultivators of Tribulation Crossing first, second, and third levels, whose strength was similar to Yin Chuan's, felt a myriad of emotions and looked at Li Qi with intense jealousy.
After all, Li Qi's strength was beyond their reach. Seeing Li Qi so easily harvest Dao Meteorite Fragments, they could only envy him.
But this guy, Yin Chuan, over the past few days, the lower-level Tribulation Crossing cultivators around them had all understood that Yin Chuan's strength was similar to theirs.
Someone of similar strength to them had obtained benefits that they themselves could not obtain. How could this not make them jealous?
"Why, why can that guy gain the favor of that Daoist friend, but we can't!"
Each cultivator gritted their teeth as they looked at Yin Chuan. In their jealousy, a dangerous aura even began to surface, locking onto Yin Chuan.
Sensing the dangerous feeling emanating from his surroundings, Yin Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
But before Yin Chuan could do anything, the sense of crisis that had appeared in his mind instantly vanished.
Turning his head, he saw Li Qi's calm gaze fixed in a certain direction.
Those cultivators who had been jealously watching Yin Chuan instantly deflated under Li Qi's gaze, daring not to show any further insolence.
"I am giving some rewards to my subordinate. Do you have any objections?"
Li Qi's faint voice echoed, reaching the ears of the other cultivators present.
Subordinate?
Some were surprised, others confused. Gazes flickered between Li Qi and Yin Chuan.
A Tribulation Crossing cultivator willingly became someone's subordinate? What was going on?
Although Li Qi's combat prowess had been terrifying, Yin Chuan was also a Tribulation Crossing cultivator. Surely he possessed the dignity of a Tribulation Crossing cultivator. How could he grovel and become a subordinate to another Tribulation Crossing cultivator?
Even the two Tribulation Crossing eighth-level cultivators who were closest to the distorted space looked somewhat taken aback.
After all, even for them, subduing a Tribulation Crossing cultivator to become their subordinate was extremely difficult.
Even though they were the strongest in a large integrated region, it was not as if there were no other Tribulation Crossing cultivators besides themselves in their respective large integrated regions.
There were still a few of them.
But once those cultivators stepped from the Dao Integration stage into the Tribulation Crossing stage, even if they were merely Tribulation Crossing first-level cultivators, they would have to give them some respect. After all, reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage meant truly entering the ranks of top-tier combatants, a force to be reckoned with in any surrounding void black market.
As long as the Tribulation Crossing cultivators in their large integrated regions did not directly rebel against them, they would not usually command them.
Such a relationship was more like cooperation than a strict hierarchy. Being called a subordinate was completely out of the question.
And yet, here someone was, openly calling another Tribulation Crossing cultivator a subordinate.
Didn't he have any self-respect?
Gazes once again turned to Yin Chuan, as if searching for a hint of anger on his face.
But at this moment, Yin Chuan felt no anger. When Li Qi referred to him as a subordinate, all he felt was a deep sense of security!
He had truly not made the wrong choice in wholeheartedly collecting the Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao Will for Li Qi before.
From the crisis he faced against veteran Tribulation Crossing cultivators previously, to Li Qi now sharing some meteorite fragments with him for exploration, if one were to compare the value, what Yin Chuan had paid in the past was truly not much at all.
And as everyone remained speechless, Yin Chuan had almost finished searching for the Dao Meteorite Fragments in the not-too-large meteorite area.
