Chapter 698
by“That’s right！” The old man surnamed Chang’s face turned green, but he smiled and nodded. Being squeezed by Du Wan like this, in front of a junior, how could he bear to deny it? He gritted his teeth and said： “I, Chang, am very generous.”
As he spoke, his face twitched, as if he couldn’t wait to beat Du Wan up.
“Then these two.” Yang Kai immediately took out two kinds of medicinal materials from the Qiankun bag.
The old man surnamed Chang took a look, and his complexion suddenly relaxed. He snatched the Qiankun bag back from Yang Kai and said generously： “Take them！”
Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that the thing he cared about the most was not taken away by Yang Kai, so he relaxed a lot.
Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t be so vicious. This time, he had already taken a great advantage. He took two Saint-level materials from this Qiankun bag, and he was also very satisfied.
With these two Saint Grade medicinal herbs as the medicine primers, Yang Kai would be able to refine two Saint Pills.
After dealing with the first Universe Bag, Yang Kai inspected the second one. His spiritual sense swept through it and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
He discovered a kind of material he urgently needed from this Universe Bag – Dew Condensing Grass！
In the list Li Rong gave him, Dew Condensing Grass was also a necessary ingredient. Its growth environment was extremely harsh. Although it might exist anywhere on the Continent, due to the harsh conditions, it was very rarely able to grow.
And the Dew Condensing Grass in this Universe Bag, whether it was in shape or age, had reached the limit. Obviously, it was a top-quality medicinal herb.
Yang Kai unceremoniously accepted it and by the way, randomly took another Saint Grade medicinal herb from this Universe Bag.
The third Universe Bag and the fourth Universe Bag didn’t yield much. He also only obtained two kinds of medicinal herbs.
When it came to the last Universe Bag, Yang Kai carefully inspected it.
Moments later, he revealed a somewhat disappointed expression. He discovered that this Universe Bag also didn’t have the materials he wanted. Just as he was about to randomly take two things, suddenly his expression changed and he stared blankly at a certain thing in the Universe Bag in a trance.
After quite a while, he finally smiled slightly and said, “Just these two.”
As he spoke, he took out two things.
Everyone fixed their eyes and looked over, couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat strange expression. Because the two things Yang Kai took out this time, one was a Saint-level medicinal herb, which was not much different from before, but the other one was a pitch-black round stone.
“What is this？” Du Wan’s gaze looked over and asked suspiciously.
The other old men also checked one after another and shook their heads, not understanding.
None of them recognized what exactly this pitch-black round stone was.
The owner of that Qiankun bag also kept shaking his head： “Don’t look at me, I don’t know either. I just felt that this stone was very strange, so I have been keeping it in the Qiankun bag. It has been decades, but I have never figured out what it does. Does the little friend know？”
Asking like this, looking at Yang Kai consultatively.
“I don’t know either. I just felt that it was relatively strange, so I found it out.”
“Oh. Then it’s given to you. Anyway, I haven’t figured out its material in these decades.” The owner of the Qiankun bag said generously.
“Thank you, all the seniors.” Yang Kai chuckled and put the pitch-black round stone into his Black Book Space.
The bet has been completed, and Yang Kai excused himself and jumped off the high platform.
Those old fellows still wanted to persuade him again, but they couldn’t open their mouths and could only let him leave.
“Du Wan, you must not let him go astray. He is bound to achieve something in alchemy. It’s rare to encounter such a good seedling and I don’t want him to be ruined like this.”
“Yes, Du Wan. After you go back, you must give him a good talking-to. If you can’t do it, I will snatch him to Sanchuan City.”
“The old man will do his best.” Du Wan couldn’t help but wryly smile. He also couldn’t quite figure it out in his heart. Why is Yang Kai so obsessed with martial arts? In this world, eight out of ten people are practicing and can be called martial artists.”
However, alchemists are extremely rare. There may not be a single alchemist among ten thousand martial artists, and those with talent in alchemy are even more scarce.”
Alchemists with excellent talent and superb skills are respected wherever they go. This kid can’t possibly not see the gap between martial artists and alchemists.”
……
After returning from the square with Fei Yu, Yang Kai immediately reported the result of his discussion with Zhai Yao to Cang Yan and the others.”
After hearing this, Cang Yan nodded slightly： “In that case, our chances of winning are undoubtedly much greater. Since that kid is a VIP of the Augur Mercenary Group, the Augur Mercenary Group will definitely not treat him lightly. At that time, the bodyguard assigned to him will at least have one Transcendent Third-Order, and this is just a conservative estimate.”
Uncle Shi, how long will it be before the Millennium Demon Flower blooms？
Exactly how long, I don’t know either. But according to the records in the book, before the Millennium Demon Flower blooms, there will be visions, and then we will know.
“Right now, there are quite a few people stationed in that mountain, waiting for the Millennium Demon Flower to bloom. There are even some who have gone up to Wangtian Cliff to wait. But the closer you get to the target, the more dangerous it is. So we don’t have to rush.” Liwan chuckled. “Little nephew, during this period of time, you should have a good rest first. When the time comes, we will take you there.”
“En.” Yang Kai responded.
Returning to his own room again, Yang Kai sat cross-legged, both circulating his cultivation and taking out two pitch-black round stones from the Black Book Space.
“Eh, aren’t these the stones you obtained in that predecessor’s cave last time？” Fei Yu exclaimed in surprise. “Why is there one more？”
“I just found it in the Qiankun Bag of a senior alchemist.” Yang Kai explained. It was precisely because he could see that the materials and sizes of the two were the same that Yang Kai chose that pitch-black round stone. “Uncle, what exactly are these used for？”
“I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing.” Fei Yu shook his head.
“Strange.” Yang Kai had a puzzled look on his face. That senior alchemist couldn’t recognize what material this stone was or what it was used for. He said that he had obtained this stone for decades, but he hadn’t unearthed any of its secrets at all.
Yang Kai instinctively felt that these two pitch-black round stones were a bit unusual.
He roasted them with circulating True Yuan and probed them with his Divine Sense, but he got nothing at all.
After tinkering with for a while, Yang Kai helplessly gave up and put them away again.
In the following days, Yang Kai has been in the inn and never goes out, always maintaining the most perfect state waiting to deal with the upcoming battle.
Several uncles are also closely preparing.
One morning, Yang Kai, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to feel that the surging of the heaven and earth energy around him was a bit strange.
As if being pulled by an invisible force, it is gathering in one direction.
Before he could find out, this situation suddenly became fierce.
Even in the room, a sudden gust of wind blew beside him. The doors and windows creaked.
Feiyu also quickly opened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise： “This is…”
While speaking, a strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes. She walked to the window and looked into the distance, excitedly shouting in a low voice： “The Millennium Demon Flower is about to bloom！”
Yang Kai’s spirit was shaken.
The sound of hunting clothes came from the next room. Obviously, Cang Yan and others had set off. Yang Kai and Feiyu looked at each other and did not hesitate. They both jumped out from the window.
At the same time, the entire Floating Cloud City boiled. Youdaoplaceholder1 warriors flood the streets from all directions and looked at the mountain dozens of miles away.
“The Thousand-Year Demon Flower is showing signs of activity！” someone shouted loudly.
This sentence excited everyone.
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked towards that mountain peak. He only saw that at the edge of the sky, colorful rays of light emerged, shining that area in a gorgeous and manner. The energy between heaven and earth was continuously and crazily squeezing towards that side, and the entire Floating Cloud City was in chaos.
“Let’s go！” Cang Yan shouted in a low voice, wrapped in a rainbow of light, and flew towards that side.
Everyone followed closely behind.
Swish swish swish…
Countless people were desperately hurrying towards that side.
Yang Kai instantly realized the difficulty of this competition. Transcendent Realm powerhouses were everywhere here. Although there were few Third-Order powerhouses, the number far exceeded Cang Yan’s estimate that day.
Just the number of Transcendent Realm powerhouses rushing out from within Floating Cloud City was already three or four hundred, not to mention those opponents who had been at the mountain peak all along.
Conservatively estimated, I’m afraid there are five hundred Transcendent Realm powerhouses participating in this.
This terrifying number made Yang Kai’s scalp tingle a little.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, the three powerhouses Ao Gu, Zhou Liang, and Jin Jiao stood at a high place, staring at the movement of that mountain peak. Their expressions were all extremely solemn.
“It seems the Grandmaster has also gone.” Jin Jiao looked at several figures emerging from within the City Lord’s Mansion and suddenly said.
“Huh？ Isn’t the master a Saint Realm powerhouse？ If he goes over, that Thousand-Year Devil Flower simply won’t be able to bloom again.” Zhou Liang was shocked upon hearing this.
“You don’t have to worry about that. It seems the master has taken some kind of pill to temporarily suppress his cultivation.” Ao Gu said indifferently. “After all, the last time the Thousand-Year Devil Flower bloomed, it was him who condensed the medicinal liquid. He knows more about this kind of information than anyone else.”
Upon hearing this, both Zhou Liang and Jin Jiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they were also meeting the master for the first time, they had already received unimaginable benefits from him.
Just one Saint Pill from the master’s hand had allowed their physical bodies and divine souls to make great progress. Although the cultivation of the three of them hadn’t increased much compared to that day, anyone could feel that they had become stronger.
That the master could come to Floating Cloud City was really a good thing they never expected.
And in order to repay the master’s kindness, Ao Gu and the other two didn’t spare any effort this time and sent out the most capable generals in the City Lord’s Mansion to protect the safety of his disciple.
Among the human, demon, and monster races, there were a total of six Transcendent Realm experts, two of them were at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, and four were at the second level of the Transcendent Realm. It could be said that the lineup was luxurious.
Ao Gu and the others had originally planned to seize the medicinal liquid of the Thousand-Year Devil Flower themselves. Although the three of them no longer needed it, their respective friends and relatives still did.
But since the master had come, they are too embarrassed to snatch anymore.
The extraordinary realm powerhouses of Floating Cloud City were dashing forward at top speed, vying with each other to rush towards that mountain peak.
Before they even reached the foot of the mountain peak, the battle had already broken out.
No one wanted to let others get there first. Everyone was an enemy to each other. Those who couldn’t hold their temper naturally wanted to strike first. A little friction would trigger a small-scale battle, which would then expand and affect others. More and more powerhouses joined in.
