Chapter 396
by“What are you doing？” Yang Zhen shouted in a low voice, looking at Cheng Bailian unhappily： “At your age, what’s the proper behavior of making such a fuss！”
However, Cheng Bailian seemed not to have heard. His two eyes widened, and his eyes showed a look of excitement, joy and shock. He stared at Yang Kai without moving for a moment. The next moment, his figure flickered, and he directly flashed in front of Yang Kai, grabbed his shoulder, tightly bound like an iron hoop, for fear that Yang Kai would run away, and asked in a slightly trembling voice： “Lad, where did you get this spirit array？”
Yang Kai frowned, vaguely sensing something, and said calmly, “At Medicine King Valley, Cloud Hidden Peak!”
Cheng Bailian’s body trembled slightly, and a look of as expected appeared on his face, nodding repeatedly： “I knew it, I knew it…”
While speaking, he looked at Yang Kai solemnly again and asked in a deep voice： “What’s your relationship with Master Xiao？”
“No relationship. I just stayed on Cloud Hidden Peak for two months.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, speaking extremely low-key.
Cheng Bailian’s expression suddenly turned cold, looking at Yang Kai with unfriendly eyes, a little cold light in the depths of his eyes gradually lengthened, and said coldly： “Then did you steal this spirit array？”
Yang Kai shook his head： “Taught by the master.”
Cheng Bailian was stunned. He didn’t understand why the young man in front of him was taught two such spiritual arrays by Master Xiao since he had no relationship with him. But he quickly smiled again and said, “Good, good, good. The things of alchemy cannot be stolen, cannot be stolen. Since it was taught to you by the master, then there is no problem.”
He obviously thought that Yang Kai was holding back and didn’t want to admit his relationship with Xiao Fusheng in public.
Although the conversation between the two was only a few words, it had already made the white-haired elders in the Elder Hall smell a hint of something unusual.
The two spiritual arrays that Yang Zhen couldn’t identify… seemed to have a great origin！
“Senior recognizes this spiritual array?” Yang Kai was slightly strange. If this Cheng Bailian didn’t recognize this spiritual array, he wouldn’t have behaved so unseemly. But was what he had spied out from the True Alchemy Formula. How could he recognize it?
When Yang Kai asked this question, Yang Zhen and the others all turned their gazes to Cheng Bailian. The latter looked dejected and shook his head with a bitter smile. There was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
“Speak up, damn it！” Yang Zhen had a hot temper. After waiting for a long time and not seeing Cheng Bailian give an explanation, he couldn’t help but curse.
Under normal circumstances, this chief alchemist of the Yang family would have shown a bad face long ago, but at this moment, he was a bit listless. After pondering for a long time, he said, “Thirty years ago, at an alchemy conference in the Medicine King Valley, I was fortunate enough to see it once, but unfortunately, it was only a half-array.”
Yang Kai’s expression moved slightly, and he suddenly understood something.
“That alchemy conference was full of talented people and stars gathering！ I passed through the levels and defeated dozens of opponents, killing all the way to the finals with great momentum, but was finally defeated by a person. That person is now Xiao Fusheng！” Cheng Bailian looked at Yang Kai with a bitter smile. “Master Xiao is a natural talent, born for alchemy. It’s not unjust to lose to him！”
Yang Zhen, who was standing aside with his sleeves folded, curled his lips. As a warrior, he naturally didn’t understand the ins and outs of alchemy, nor did he understand the admiration and acquaintance among alchemists.
“Later, those of us outstanding young alchemists were arranged to enter the Dansheng Peak to visit the statue of the Dansheng and gain insights into the way of alchemy.” Cheng Bailian told the story of that year vividly. “Xiao Fusheng and I both saw a half-array from the statue of the Dansheng, but we could never see its whole picture. At that time, it was regarded as a pity.”
“Later, I came to the Yang family. Xiao Fusheng entered the Medicine King Valley. Hehe.” Cheng Bailian smiled slightly. “Over the past thirty years, I have also corresponded with Master Xiao many times. When I have free time, I will also go to the Medicine King Valley. I study that half of the incomplete formation with him, trying to complete it, but after spending thirty years, I still haven’t been able to achieve my wish！”
“The Azure Cloud Evil Land launched a large-scale attack on the Medicine King Valley, and the statue of the Pill Saint was destroyed! I thought that in this life, I would never have the opportunity to see the full picture of this spiritual formation again. Youdaoplaceholder0… unexpectedly… Hahaha, I finally achieved my wish today! Cheng Bailian laughed maniacally towards the sky. As he laughed, his expression became a little bitter again: Xiao Fusheng is indeed Xiao fusheng. He has always walked ahead of me. I didn’t expect that he has actually completed this spiritual formation. I’m not as good as him. The title of the number one alchemist in the world is truly deserved!
Yang Kai didn’t expect that the spiritual formation he took out would actually involve these past events. Even a figure like Xiao Fusheng could only catch a glimpse of half of the spiritual formation back then. It can be imagined how profound and extensive the true formula of alchemy is.
The appearance of this spiritual formation seems to have resolved the thirty-year-old knot in the hearts of the two greatest alchemists in the world.
Although there are some misunderstandings in it, Yang Kai doesn’t plan to expose them. He originally wanted to act under the name of Master Xiao.
“You’ve said so much. So, are these two sets of spiritual formations really useful？” Yang Zhen asked impatiently.
“Nonsense.” Cheng Bailian snorted lightly. “How could it be useless？ This is a spiritual array from the portrait of the Pill Saint, a supreme treasure left by the Pill Saint. Of course it’s useful！”
“What about the value？” Yang Zhen sniffed.
“Inestimable！” Cheng Bailian’s expression was extremely serious.
All the elders couldn’t help but look strange. Yang Kai had taken out such two sets of spiritual arrays, and his contribution to the Yang family was truly enormous. Even Yang Zhen didn’t know how to record his merit.
“I’ll take the spiritual arrays. I have to study them carefully.” Cheng Bailian was like a withered tree coming back to life. His old face broke into a smile, and he held the two pieces of jade tightly in his hands as if he had obtained a supreme treasure.
“Taking them is fine, but don’t disclose them. You know the rules of the Yang family.” Yang Zhen’s expression was serious as he exhorted.
Cheng Bailian rolled his eyes. “I’ve been in the Yang family for thirty years, and my whole family lives here. Do I not understand the importance？”
Yang Zhen nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.
Cheng Bailian turned his head and looked at Yang Kai. There was no longer the previous contempt. He asked amiably, “Kid, what’s your name?”
Yang Kai reported his name.
Cheng Bailian patted his shoulder affectionately. “I remember you. Come to my house when you have time. I’ll treat you to tea！”
After that, with his hands behind his back, he walked away with a heroic and imposing manner.
The elders in the hall looked at each other in dismay, and for a while, they had an unreal feeling.
Cheng Bailian wants to invite that kid to drink tea…
It seems that it is just us old guys. Even the chief alchemist of the Yang family didn’t treat us so politely, let alone invite us to drink tea.
Among the younger generation and even among the middle-aged generation, this is an extraordinary honor. If it spreads out, I’m afraid it will envy others to death.
After Cheng Bailian left for a long time, a group of old guys were also secretly shaking their heads. They didn’t know what kind of good fortune Yang Kai had actually had to be able to get involved with a figure like Xiao Fusheng, and even learn two sets of invaluable spirit arrays from him.
“Elder.” Yang Kai called out, “Now that there is no mistake, can I exchange for the allegiance of the two blood servants？”
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and said in a muffled voice, “Alright！ But I have to remind you first, depending on the strength of the Blood Servant, the merit you need to consume is also different.”
“Then what kind of Blood Servant can I get with my current merit？”
“Er…” Yang Zhen coughed lightly, “All the experts in the entire Blood Servant Hall are at your disposal, including the main and deputy hall masters！”
“The main and deputy hall masters？” Yang Kai was astonished.
“That’s right, they are two peak Divine Movement Realm experts！” Yang Zhen nodded. “With their protection, no one should be able to get close to you in the battle for the throne.”
It seemed that Yang Zhen felt Yang Kai’s contribution was too great and wanted him to consume it quickly. He spared no effort in promoting the so-called chief and deputy hall masters, showing Yang Kai the profound strength of the two one by one.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head： “I don’t want them.”
Yang Zhen was stunned: “Don’t want such masters?” Who do you want?
“Qu Gaoyi and Ying Jiu！” Yang Kai reported the names of two blood attendants. These two were the ones who welcomed the fourth son Yang Xinwu back to the clan.
The expressions of a group of old guys in the room suddenly became extremely strange, and they looked over in surprise, with astonishment on their faces.
Qu Gaoyi and Ying Jiu, originally the two blood attendants with the most outstanding qualifications in the Blood Attendant Hall, of course the elders had all heard their names and had great expectations for them. But because of this incident of Yang Xinwu, they were even punished by the family, and the two blood attendants were somewhat in a slump.
The elders also felt quite sorry for the encounter of the two, but the rules of the Yang family were there and they had to impose punishments. They originally thought that no one would dare to use or would use them in this battle for the heir, but they didn’t expect this youngest Yang Kai to actually want to use these two people.
Even if Yang Kai said he wanted the chief and deputy hall masters of the Blood Attendant Hall, it didn’t bring as much shock to the elders as this moment.
Rather than using those with high strength, he actually chooses two wounded who are lying on the bed and disheartened. This Yang Kai is either an idiot or… has other plans！
Yang Zhen looked at Yang Kai with profound meaning and said in a deep voice, “Those two people are already useless, and you still want them？”
“Yes！”
“Interesting！” Yang Zhen grinned and said, “Your appetite is quite big.”
He had an expression as if he knew Yang Kai’s heart, as if he had already seen through Yang Kai’s thoughts and plans. Yang Kai shrugged indifferently.
“Since you want them, then I’ll give them to you！” Yang Zhen snorted lightly. “I want to see what kind of waves you can stir up in the battle for the heir with those two people！ When the time comes, if you lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot, don’t regret it.”
“That’s my business. Don’t bother the elder.”
Yang Zhen sneered, then quickly wrote a letter, stamped the seal of theElder Council and casually threw it to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai took it, glanced at it casually, nodded in satisfaction, and clenched his fist and said, “Thank you, Elder! ”
“Well, after exchanging for those two blood attendants, you still have a lot of contributions left！ Is there anything else you want to exchange for？” Yang Zhen raised his eyes and asked. “In the battle for the heir, it’s right to make more preparations.”
“How many contributions are there left？” Yang Kai was a little surprised.
“A lot.” Yang Zhen said impatiently, but didn’t reveal the specific number. Presumably, he didn’t know how to calculate either.
“Then convert all of it into materials for alchemy and weapon refining. They should at least be of Heaven Rank, and it would be best if they were all of Mysterious Rank.”
