Chapter 253

With doubts in his heart, Yang Kai turned his head and looked at that girl.

The girl had been sitting on the ground since he swept her away with a kick, and she still hadn’t stood up until now. Her face was full of panic and lingering fear, as if she had been extremely frightened, and her delicate body was trembling rustling.

Just a little bit earlier, she would have lost her life. The sharp long sword even cut off a lot of her hair, and there was a bright red mark on her neck. At this moment, she was covering her fair neck with her hand, and her whole body was sweating profusely.

Seeing Yang Kai looking at her, the girl couldn’t help but feel a thud in her heart, and her face was full of fear.

It was only now that she knew what kind of existence she had provoked. Seven or eight lives were lost in his hands in less than thirty breaths. It was no exaggeration to describe him as a mass murderer.

Yang Kai frowned, walked forward, and crouched down in front of her.

The girl kept retreating, her long eyelashes tremble constantly, extremely scared.

With a light laugh, Yang Kai pushed aside her hand, looked at the scar on her neck, and said, “It’s just a superficial wound. If you take good care of it, there won’t even be a mark left.”

While speaking, he reached into his bosom and took out a healing pill and handed it over.

The girl forced a smile and said, “I have pills…”

She’s quite vigilant. Yang Kai didn’t mind either and put away his medicinal pellet. The girl kept looking at him timidly. Seeing that he seemed to have no malicious intent, she then boldly took out a bottle by herself and took a medicinal pellet.

“Just now when you were restrained, didn’t you know to lean back？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said.

“I… I haven’t fought with anyone…” The girl’s face flushed slightly. Although she has been cultivating since childhood, at most she has only had friendly sparring with others and has never experienced a life-and-death battle. When someone put a long sword on her neck, she instantly lost her wits and didn’t know what to do.

Yang Kai carefully looked at her and found that this girl had delicate skin and tender flesh and was dressed quite expensively. Although she looked a bit mischievous, there was still a unique temperament on her. Such a temperament couldn’t be cultivated by an ordinary small force.

This must be the young lady of some big family！ No wonder she looks about the same age as himself, but has the strength at the peak of the Lihe Realm. And her actual combat experience is so poor.

The result of being pampered and spoiled.

“How did you provoke these people?”

“How would I know?” The girl suddenly became aggrieved. “When I left home… cough… when I was playing outside, these people suddenly appeared. If it weren’t for running fast, I would have been caught by them long ago. And they are all so ugly. Scared me to death.”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Seeing that he seemed quite easy to talk to, the girl couldn’t help but grow much bolder. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth as she looked at Yang Kai. “And you, why did you throw me back? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If I really died, I wouldn’t let you go even as a ghost. I’d follow you every day and annoy you to death！”

Yang Kai looked into the distance, his gaze deep. It was only after a long while that he took back his gaze and said in a deep voice Perhaps your shout just now was an inadvertent mistake, but what if it was someone else without much strength? With bad luck, they might have been chopped into pieces by random swords immediately.”

The girl was stunned, her eyes flickering. She lowered her head and said softly, “I was wrong…”

Then she looked up again and said aggrievedly, “But you’re too cruel, aren’t you？ People say that when you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword and help. Your strength is so high, even if I used you a little, it wouldn’t matter.”

Yang Kai chuckled softly and didn’t bother to explain.

Just now, when those few big men surrounded the girl, the lecherous glint in their eyes was naturally seen by Yang Kai. He had originally planned to wait for them to leave and then follow them secretly to see the situation, but unexpectedly, those people were not willing to let him go either. It happened to be in line with his intentions, and killing them would solve the problem once and for all.

Standing up, ignoring the girl’s shouts and questions, Yang Kai deployed his movement technique and headed all the way towards the Medicine King Valley.

The girl was stunned for a moment and then quickly stood up and chased after him. This place was only a few miles away from Medicine King Valley. She was very afraid that a few more villains would suddenly jump out from somewhere. Naturally, she couldn’t wait to enter Medicine King Valley and take shelter for the time being.

She chased after Yang Kai’s figure. However, after entering the town in the valley, she could no longer find him.

“He’s not much older than me and his strength is so strong. Which family does he belong to？” The girl muttered softly. After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t think of a matching person and couldn’t help but feel a burst of annoyance.

After entering the town in the valley, the various medicinal scents that assaulted the nostrils made people feel relaxed and happy. Yang Kai strolled around the town at will and found that among the shops here, except for inns and restaurants, all the businesses were related to herbal medicines and pills.

Ordinary or extraordinary spiritual grasses, strange fruits, wonderful medicines, everything was available. All kinds of medicinal materials were placed in the shops, and there were many that he had never even heard of. They could be seen everywhere here, a superb collection of beautiful things.

As expected of Medicine King Valley！ Yang Kai secretly praised in his heart.

With such a scene, as long as one was an alchemist, I’m afraid they wouldn’t want to leave after coming here. Alchemists had a special affection and love for medicinal materials. At this moment, with so many medicinal materials that attracted them, it would be strange if they were willing to leave.

In every shop, there were many martial artists who had come here stopping to watch, or bargaining with the shopkeeper to buy medicinal materials.

There are also many alchemists engaged in business, helping martial artists refine pills.

However, all the alchemists in the town of Medicine King Valley are disciples of Medicine King Valley！ The martial artists who come here to ask others to help refine pills mostly come here because of the reputation of Medicine King Valley, and naturally they will not look for alchemists of other forces.

Yang Kai strolled around for a long time, enjoying and observing along the way, and found that these alchemists were also graded.

Corresponding to the grades of natural treasures, they are respectively mortal grade, earth grade, heaven grade, and profound grade, and each grade is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

Most of the alchemists seen are around the earth grade. For example, the one sitting in this shop in front of him, with a silver two-petal flower embroidered on his chest, is a middle-grade earth-grade alchemist, which also means that he can skillfully refine middle-grade earth-grade pills.

One petal flower corresponds to one grade, and the three colors of gold, silver, and white correspond to the upper, middle, and lower grades. Through the embroidery on the clothes of these alchemists, one can see at a glance what level they are.

There are few alchemists above the heaven grade, and as for the profound grade, not a single one has been seen.

The elders of Medicine King Valley are the profound-grade alchemists.

Many shops sell finished pills. Yang Kai is not interested in ordinary pills, but the pills that nourish the soul make him linger.

These pills can not only strengthen his newly cultivated spiritual consciousness, but also nourish the Warm Soul Lotus, making the Warm Soul Lotus progress towards the ultimate goal of seven colors.

Once the Warm God Lotus evolves to the seven-color level, its function will be extremely great.

However, the elixirs that nourish the spirit are very few, and they are many times more precious than ordinary elixirs.

A bottle of ordinary low-grade Earth-level elixirs, with ten elixirs in a bottle, is sold for five thousand taels.

But a bottle of low-grade Earth-level Spirit Nourishing Pills costs at least thirty thousand taels. It is actually six times more expensive！

Yang Kai’s pocket is empty, and he can only sigh helplessly.

After strolling for a long time, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Yang Kai found an inn and stayed there.

At night, the town in the Medicine King Valley is even more lively and bustling. Yang Kai casually ate something and then walked out of the inn to inquire about news.

This time he came to the Medicine King Valley to take a look at the Myriad Medicine Pool, but the Myriad Medicine Pool is a forbidden area of the Medicine King Valley. It is afraid that it will not be so easy to get in.

For several consecutive days, Yang Kai has been inquiring about news in the Medicine King Valley, but he has been unable to find a way, and he is also secretly anxious in his heart.

The Myriad Medicine Pool of the Medicine King Valley is on the main peak, the Pill Saint Peak. There is not only the Myriad Medicine Pool there, but also the statue of the Pill Saint beside the pool. It is the pure land and holy place in the hearts of all alchemists in the world. Usually, it is heavily guarded. Even ordinary disciples of the Medicine King Valley cannot approach it. Only the valley master and the elders are qualified to comprehend the alchemy mysteries left in the statue of the Pill Saint.

Yang Kai had heard many rumors about the portrait of the Pill Saint, all of which were extremely mysterious. It was said that the spirit of the Pill Saint would sometimes appear, resolving the confusions in the hearts of alchemists and even imparting the techniques of alchemy, benefiting many people.

Precisely because of this, the Medicine King Valley protected the Myriad Medicine Pond with the utmost caution.

For such a tightly guarded place, how could one approach it？

The Myriad Medicine Pond was different from the Forbidden Area of the High Heaven Pavilion, the Dragon-Trapping Ravine. Although the Dragon-Trapping Ravine was a forbidden area, it was very long and extremely dangerous, so naturally no one would approach it.

One day, when Yang Kai was wandering in the city with no way to proceed, suddenly a familiar figure flashed past his eyes.

Looking at the back of this person, Yang Kai chuckled softly.

Quietly following this person all the way, after a short while, he saw him enter a shop.

Yang Kai looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the shop with the words “Dong’s Medicine Store”.

Walking directly into the medicine store, a shop assistant immediately greeted him warmly： “Guest, what do you want? Our Dong’s Medicine Store has a rich variety of medicinal materials, everything you need. Whether it’s the materials for alchemy or the finished pills, they are all sold. The prices are fair and there is no cheating. If the guest is interested, you might as well take a look.”

“I’m not here to buy anything.” Yang Kai shook his head.

“Then…”

“I’m looking for the young man who just went in！” Yang Kai said.

The shop assistant’s expression immediately became vigilant. He swept a glance over Yang Kai from top to bottom and without getting angry, he just probed: “May I ask what your name is, little brother?”

Yang Kai smiled slightly： “Just tell him that an old acquaintance from Lingxiao Pavilion has come to visit！”

The waiter’s expression was startled, and he nodded slightly.

He turned around and walked into the inner hall to report. After a short while, the waiter walked out again with a big smile on his face, and said flatteringly: “Little brother, come with me. My young master is inviting you!”

Yang Kai nodded.

He entered the inner hall, went all the way up the stairs to the third floor. When he arrived at the door, the waiter said respectfully: “The young master is inside!”

After saying that, he respectfully stepped back.

Yang Kai pushed open the door and strode in.

He immediately saw a slightly fat big face looking at him with a smile.

The Dong family, Dong Qinghan！

Behind him were the two elderly guards of the Dong family the two octogenarian old men remained silent. They seemed old and decrepit, but in fact, the light in their eyes was restrained. They just nodded slightly to Yang Kai.

Beside him, there was also a dignified and pretty girl sitting, angrily holding a cup of tea. Yang Kai swept a glance and when their eyes met, they were stunned on the spot.

The young girl was also completely flabbergasted, her expression extremely wonderful. Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at Yang Kai, and the tea she had just drunk involuntarily sprayed out, splashing all over Dong Qinghan’s head and face.
