Chapter 691
byA shrill scream came, and Nie Cong staggered back. Blood gushed out from the wound continuously, as spectacular as a fountain.
The onlookers also let out a collective exclamation, seemingly not expecting such a scene to occur.
Although Yang Kai’s punch carried a murderous intent, it was only a warning to the other party and did not kill him. The direct reason for Nie Cong’s broken wrist was the action of that young man. Without the protection of true essence, the broken wrist directly burst open under the action of Yang Kai’s strength.
The seller was even more dumbfounded, with his mouth wide open, looking completely disbelieving.
“You… how dare you hurt me？ You deserve to die！” Nie Cong suddenly came back to his senses, covering the broken wrist with his hand, his eyes wide with anger, and he roared continuously at Yang Kai and the young man, hysterical.
Yang Kai’s expression was calm, and he stared at him coldly.
The young man, however, said coldly： “I said it before, if you dare to stretch out your hand again, I will chop it off.”
Nie Cong’s expression froze, and he couldn’t help but feel his whole body turn cold. A chill rose in his heart, and his eyeballs trembled.
“If you dare to take another step closer, I’ll kill you！” The young man coldly threw out another sentence.
Nie Cong’s expression changed. Enduring the excruciating pain, he suddenly roared： “You wait！”
After leaving a harsh word, Nie Cong soared into the air, leaving a trail of blood along the way.
Yang Kai’s eyes flickered. Suppressing the thought of eradicating the roots, he glanced at his competitor.
The scene was deathly quiet, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Yang Kai and the young man, with different expressions. Some were gloating, some were sympathetic, and some were thoughtful thinking whether these two also had some powerful backers and were not afraid of the Saint Realm powerhouse.
“Two little brothers, you… “Ah!” ” The seller was also speechless. He didn’t expect that he was just selling some medicinal materials, and such a big storm would be caused.
“Sorry, I was a little excited.” The young man smiled sheepishly and looked at Yang Kai again： “Causing such a big incident. Aren’t you afraid？”
“Since you’re not afraid, what am I afraid of.” Yang Kai chuckled.
“Interesting. I find that I kind of like you.”
Yang Kai’s face darkened： “I’m not interested in men.”
The young man quickly realized the ambiguity in his words and quickly waved his hand： “You misunderstood. I just think you suit my taste. How about making friends？”
“Okay, first give me the Earthfire Gallbladder.”
The other party couldn’t help but grit his teeth and, after pondering for a while, said： “If we continue to argue like this, I’m afraid neither of us will back down.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly. Strictly speaking, he also noticed that his personality was somewhat similar to the other party’s. When people with similar personalities encounter disputes, it is often difficult to reach a unified opinion. Because everyone will insist on a direction to act but sometimes they will also be very tacit. For example, just now when they both took action against Nie Cong, and another example was just now when they wanted to get rid of the root. Not only did Yang Kai have this idea, but the other party also did.
“Friend is an alchemist, right？” The man asked with a smile.
“You are too.”
Since we are both alchemists and have a dispute because of medicinal materials, how about having a? The man narrowed his eyes and gently suggested.
“Okay！” Yang Kai nodded slightly, with a confident look on his face.
“Great！” The other party nodded heavily and laughed. “But let’s make it clear first. Whoever wins, this Earthfire Gallbladder will belong to him. Before that, this thing will be kept by this beautiful girl.”
As he spoke, he looked at Fei Yu.
Fei Yu giggled and covered her small mouth and said： “You young man, you really know how to talk.”
“It’s the truth！”
Fei Yu laughed even more happily.
Asking the seller about the price of the Earth Fire Gallbladder, Yang Kai and the other party each contributed half of the crystals. After buying the Earth Fire Gallbladder from the seller, Fei Yu solemnly took it and said, “Little nephew, although your uncle really wants to help you, since this is a competition you agreed with someone, then whoever wins the final victory, your uncle will give this thing to whoever. If you lose at that time, don’t blame your uncle. A man should keep his word.”
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded. “Let’s find a quieter place first. There seem to be a bit too many people here.”
The other party also expressed agreement.
The seller had a speechless expression and said, “Two young masters, you’d better leave Floating Cloud City quickly. You injured Young Master Nie Cong. If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave. He must be going back to bring reinforcements now.”
“It doesn’t matter.” The young man lightly shook his head and said to Yang Kai, “Let’s go to your place. My place is a bit inconvenient.”
Yang Kai’s expression was calm, and he and Fei Yu led the way and left.
It was not until the three of them left that the seller shook his head and said, “These two lunatics.”
“What are you worried about？ They are so fearless. They must have some reliance. Nie Cong is probably going to suffer a loss this time. Hehe, I really want to go and take a look.” The seller’s companion smiled lightly and sneered, obviously not having any good feelings for Nie Cong either, and looking forward to these two young people teaching him a good lesson in his heart.
This statement elicited the approval of quite a number of people. Immediately, there were bored individuals who followed the direction of the three, ready to wait for the good show to unfold.
Inside the inn, in the room of Yang Kai and Fei Yu.
After coming in, the young man looked around for a while, nodded slightly, and then extended a hand to Yang Kai, introducing himself and saying, “Zhai Yao. How do I address my friend？”
“Yang Kai.” Yang Kai did not hide his name and then glanced at Fei Yu and said, “This is my Shishu (uncle in martial arts) Fei Yu.”
“You came for the Thousand-Year Demon Flower, right？”
“Yes. Are you too？”
“Sort of, but my purpose is different from yours, so don’t worry that I will seize the Thousand-Year Demon Flower from you. Maybe we can cooperate at that time.
“Cooperate？” Yang Kai’s brows furrowed. “How to cooperate？”
“Let’s not mention this matter for now. We’ll talk about it later. Maybe you won’t be able to climb Wangtian Cliff.” Zhai Yao smiled slightly. “It’s better to deal with the matter at hand first.”
“How do you want to compare？” Yang Kai sat down cross-legged and took out his incense burner.
This incense burner was obtained from the third page of the Black Book. Yang Kai now generally uses it as a furnace tripod when refining pills.
As soon as he saw this incense burner, Zhai Yao couldn’t help but brighten up： “My friend is indeed a master. Such a small pill furnace is really rare.”
Alchemists need to engrave various spiritual arrays in the pill furnace to assist in refining pills when refining pills. The larger the pill furnace, the easier it is to engrave the spiritual arrays, and vice versa, the more difficult it is.
So a skilled alchemist doesn’t need too large a pill furnace. To some extent, the smaller the pill furnace used by an alchemist, the more superb the means of this alchemist are.
While speaking, Zhai Yao also casually summoned his own pill furnace.
His pill furnace was very exquisite, with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and the workmanship was excellent. Obviously, it was made by a master craftsman. And its size was almost the same as that used by Yang Kai.
When Yang Kai’s pill furnace was compared with it, it seemed a bit simple and unadorned, but anyone could see that the grade of Yang Kai’s incense burner was higher than that of the other party.
Zhai Yao looked at Yang Kai’s incense burner with envy on his face, marveling.
His pill furnace was given to him by his teacher. It was a famous pill furnace in the world and was used by his teacher to refine pills when he was young. He originally thought that there could no longer be a better pill furnace than his own in the world, but now he found one.
“One pill to determine the victory. No matter what kind of pill is refined, we only look at the grade and quality of the pill, and the time used.” Zhai Yao gathered his mind and said the rules.
“Okay.” Yang Kai readily accepted the challenge.
“Then let’s start.” Zhai Yao tilted his head. The next moment, his expression became serious, and he quickly took out many kinds of medicinal materials.
At the same time, Yang Kai’s hand also moved. All kinds of rare medicinal materials were continuously taken out from the space of the black book. Both the quantity and the age were just right.
An intangible force lingered in this room. Both young men had a meticulous expression, circulating their true essence to wrap their pill furnaces and engrave spirit arrays within the pill furnaces.
Feiyu’s beautiful eyes didn’t blink, closely stared at their movements and couldn’t help but cover her small mouth with a look of admiration on her face.
She discovered that the movements of these two young men in front of her were surprisingly consistent, and they were evenly matched in the speed of engraving the spirit array.
In this world, there is actually someone who can compete with the little nephew in alchemy？ Who exactly is this Zhai Yao？
Feiyu was stunned and watched intently, holding her breath and making no sound.
In just about ten breaths, the spirit array had been perfectly engraved in the pill furnace. The two simultaneously took out one of their medicinal materials, and the true essence in their hands fluctuated uncertainly.
Yang Kai’s true essence was the most masculine and yang qi, while the opponent’s true essence, like that of Cang Yan, was a scorching flame. Both were very suitable for alchemy.
The medicinal materials tumbled in the true essence, and the medicinal liquid was quickly stimulated and condensed. Strands of impurities were visibly removed and evaporated clean.
The medicinal liquid danced lightly like raindrops in that true essence. Every fluctuation could make the medicinal liquid purer and more condensed.
Both of their hands trembled slightly, and the condensed medicinal liquid accurately fell into their respective pill furnaces.
The second medicinal herb was retrieved and processed in the same way.
Fiery Rain’s beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she closely watched.
She noticed that the two young men in front of her had completely immersed their minds in alchemy, no longer reacting to anything around them. Their level of seriousness was impeccable.
When a man gets serious, he has a unique charm.
Fiery Rain looked at one and then the other, and her heart stirred. She immediately understood that both of them would surely achieve great things in the future, reaching a height that no one else could.
Time passed slowly, and the room was gradually filled with the alluring fragrance of the pill.
The true essence of the two people enveloped their respective pill cauldrons, conducting the final refinement.
Suddenly, Zhai Yao’s expression turned delighted. With a smile on his lips, he reached out and slapped the pill cauldron. A golden, round pill flew out, and he caught it in his hand.
After examining the quality and grade of the pill, Zhai Yao nodded in satisfaction. Although it was hasty and nervous, he had perfectly exerted his alchemy level.
On the other hand, Yang Kai also seemed to have reached the final crucial moment.
Fiery Rain couldn’t help but become nervous. In terms of time, Yang Kai had fallen behind. If he couldn’t surpass this Zhai Yao in terms of quality, Yang Kai would undoubtedly lose.
The competition between these two young alchemists was hidden with monstrous waves, making Fiery Rain almost breathless.
