Chapter 872

After taking the Long Shuttle Secret Treasure into his body, Yang Kai left seclusion once and checked the current situation of the Holy Land, only to find that everything was as usual.

After the previous incident, the disciples of the Holy Land are now very hardworking in their cultivation, and the elders have also made great progress.

Under the restraint of Li Rong and several other commanders, the Ancient Demon Race people can also live in peace with the people of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

The only thing that concerns people is the problem of cultivation materials.

Although Wu Jie sent a lot of materials last time, there are thousands of people in the Holy Land, and the consumption is very fast. It is a bit of a deficit, and I’m afraid it will be exhausted soon.

In the past, the cultivation materials of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were either searched for by the disciples when they went out, or offer ed by the three nearby forces, or exchanged for by the old Holy Lord with crystal stones in the Monster Domain.

Now, after theDemon Race unscrupulously mined that crystal stone vein for two or three years, it is almost on the verge of exhaustion. There is not enough for oneself to use, so how can one exchange materials with others？

Yang Kai took out the things in the Black Book Space that he couldn’t use, but it could only relieve the situation for a while.

The elders of the Holy Land are worried every day and worried about the future.

Seeing their appearance, Yang Kai really couldn’t bear to ask them to help him find the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.

Regardless of the grade, every Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object is extremely rare and valuable. At this juncture, how can the Holy Land have the spare energy to do these things？

Yang Kai didn’t have any good solutions either. He left the mess to Xu Hui and the others and once again entered the Holy Tomb to go into secluded cultivation.

In the Holy Tomb, he comprehended the Heavenly Dao and Martial Dao, groping for the path ahead of him, and the days passed quickly.

Occasionally, when he was tired from cultivation, Yang Kai would refine pills to relieve his body and mind.

The original intention of learning the art of alchemy was just to cultivate the power of his spiritual consciousness.

Because the true formula of alchemy that contained precious and vast information existed in Yang Kai’s mind. Without using the power of his spiritual consciousness, it was simply impossible to spy.

But gradually, after he had mastered a considerable amount of knowledge about alchemy, he also embarked on this path himself.

He didn’t expect to go very far originally, but now he was already able to refine Saint-level middle-grade pills. He was even more powerful than 99% of the alchemists on the continent.

The true formula of alchemy was indispensable！

In particular, Yang Kai discovered that when delving into the art of alchemy, it was also of great help to his own martial arts improvement and the cultivation of his state of mind, and his understanding of the spiritual consciousness fire was even more thorough.

Yang Kai decided to truly regard the art of alchemy as a branch for comprehending the Martial Dao to cultivate！

So while improving his own cultivation realm, he also spared no effort to improve his alchemy level.

Unfortunately, since refining that Saint-level middle-grade pill in the Demon Ancient Castle last time, Yang Kai didn’t have many Saint-level materials left in his hands.

With Yang Kai’s current level, if he doesn’t refine Saint Grade pills, he won’t be able to improve his attainments in alchemy and will always be stuck.

After refining a few Saint Pills in the Saint Tomb, the Saint Grade medicinal materials were completely exhausted, leaving him extremely helpless.

Time passed quickly during cultivation, and by the time Yang Kai left seclusion again, it was already three months later.

The scenery in the nine peaks had undergone some subtle changes.

In the main hall, the elders were discussing something. The atmosphere was solemn. Seeing Yang Kai arrive lightly, their expressions all changed, and they quickly stood up to greet him.

“Sit down, everyone. I left seclusion today and just came over to take a look. Don’t mind me.” Yang Kai motioned.

Everyone nodded slightly and sat down.

“The Holy Lord has come at the right time.” Xu Hui said, “We are discussing whether to sell the precious items that are not needed in the Holy Land. The Holy Lord should also give some opinions.”

“What to sell?” Yang Kai was stunned.

“Some unnecessary secret treasures, as well as secret manuals of cultivation techniques and martial skills that do not belong to our Nine Heavens Holy Land.” Xu Hui replied.

“Why sell them？” Yang Kai swept a glance around.

The elders all blushed slightly, looking at each other and stammering without speaking.

Yang Kai was even more strange.

Xu Hui smiled bitterly and said, “Mainly because the disciples have been cultivating in the Saint Tomb for some time and have gained a lot and made many breakthroughs. In order to consolidate their current cultivation, the consumption is too great. The Holy Land was previously severely damaged, so… there are not enough cultivation resources. If we sell those, we can exchange for a lot of things.”

“Holy Lord, you should persuade the Great Elder. He even wants to sell the Saint Grade Low Rank Secret Treasure bestowed upon him by the old Holy Lord.” Yu Ying said.

Yang Kai was shocked： “Has the Holy Land been reduced to such a state？”

“It’s this subordinate’s incompetence！” Xu Hui looked embarrassed. “But as long as we get through this difficult time, it will be better after a while.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Yang Kai shook his head and said thoughtfully： “It also has something to do with the Demon Race people I brought. Did you allocate a lot of resources to them？”

Although Xu Hui and the others had never told him this, Yang Kai could also observe it.

Ever since the Ancient Demon Race moved into the Holy Land, the Ancient Demon Race people over there had always had abundant resources for cultivation. These should all have been given by Xu Hui.

The Holy Land can be self-sufficient, but the Ancient Demon Race can’t.

They simply can’t leave the Nine Peaks. Once discovered, it might cause trouble. The extra thousand or so people have dragged down the Holy Land.

Hearing Yang Kai’s question, Xu Hui didn’t deny it and just nodded silently.

“This is my responsibility.” Yang Kai gently nodded and took the initiative to admit his mistake. “I overlooked this aspect of the problem.”

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said： “Great Elder, let me ask an inappropriate question. Do you elders who have reached the Saint Realm always have the habit of collecting Saint Grade materials？”

Xu Hui nodded. “Yes, ever since I entered the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, this subordinate has been purposefully collecting some materials. Materials for refining pills, materials for refining secret treasures… I will collect whatever I need. When I have gathered enough one day, I will look for a suitable alchemist to help me refine them.

“I have also collected.” Cheng Yuetong nodded.

The elders spoke one after another, all expressing that they had such actions.

Because it is not easy to collect Saint-level materials, and it is a matter that takes a long time to gather, so generally when in the Transcendent Realm, warriors will purposefully do these things.

“However, the materials we collected have all been consumed… It’s a pity for Elder Yuying. The materials for the Qingyun Pill that took ten years to collect were all used up recently.” Xu Hui sighed with emotion.

“Why are you talking about this？” Yuying pursed her lips and smiled. “Which one of you didn’t take out the things you worked hard to collect？”

“We are different…” Luo Sheng sighed. “The materials we collected are not complete, but as long as you find an excellent alchemist to help you refine them, if you are lucky, one Qingyun Pill can be successfully refined, which can greatly improve your strength.”

“Yes！”

“In front of the Saint Lord, let’s not talk about this.” Yuying covered her mouth and smiled. “It seems like we are crying poor.”

The elders all laughed dryly.

“Saint Lord, why are you asking this？” Xu Hui asked in confusion.

Yang Kai’s eyes shone brightly with divine light： “That is to say, most martial artists above the Transcendent Realm in this world have the habit of collecting materials, and those with good luck have already completed their collections.”

“That’s right.” Xu Hui nodded slightly, not understanding what this had to do with the current situation of the Holy Land. After a pause, he added, “However, even if they have collected everything, it’s no use. It’s really troublesome to find someone to refine them. Elder Yu Ying has been procrastinating until now because she couldn’t find a suitable person to help refine them. Good alchemists and alchemists masters are not easy to find and there is also the risk of failure.”

“That’s fine then.” Yang Kai chuckled. “I have a way to ease the current situation of the Holy Land…”

“Huh？” Several elders couldn’t help but be overjoyed and looked at Yang Kai with excited eyes, their hearts surging with excitement.

“Elder Yu Ying, I will return a Green Cloud Pill to you another day！” Yang Kai looked at her with a smile.

Yu Ying’s expression trembled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation.

Yang Kai suddenly stood up and shouted loudly： “Great Elder, use all the interpersonal relationships of the Holy Land to spread the news for me. Say that our Holy Land can help people refine pills. Those who need to refine pills of the top-grade Spiritual level or above can come to our Holy Land！ Well, the top-grade Saint-level pills cannot be refined, and this point must be made clear. Those who succeed in refining the pills will pay a reward of the same value as the pills, and only accept crystals and medicinal materials. If the refining fails, our Holy Land will compensate in full！”

Inside the great hall, all the elders opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at Yang Kai, speechless, not knowing what kind of drama the Holy Lord was playing today.

Seeing that Xu Hui didn’t have any reaction at all, Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown： “Is the reward I want too high？”

Xu Hui finally came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: If the success of the pill can be guaranteed, this reward is not high at all! Many people spend a lot of energy collecting materials and asking others to refine pills. One or two failures will waste effort, energy, and money.So asking for the crystal or medicinal materials of the same value as the pill as a reward is not excessive. On the contrary, such a reward will be very easy to accept.”

“Then why do you all have a look as if you’ve seen a ghost？” Yang Kai’s gaze swept over the crowd.

“Holy Lord…” Xu Hui’s face twitched, “our Holy Land doesn’t have a Saint-level alchemist…”

Xu Hui even suspected that Yang Kai had become muddled from seclusion and forgotten such a thing.

Although the Nine Heavens Holy Land is not weak in strength on the continent, it still doesn’t have a Saint-level alchemist sitting in it.

The main reason is that such characters are really too rare. Generally, the Alchemist Association does not allow such alchemists to serve a certain force alone.

Unless it is an alchemist cultivated by that force himself and is not under the jurisdiction of the Alchemist Association！

Unfortunately, over the years, the Nine Heavens Holy Land has not produced a Saint-level alchemist either.

“Just because there wasn’t one before doesn’t mean there isn’t one now. Just release the news！” Yang Kai smiled and looked unfathomable.

Xu Hui’s body trembled, and suddenly seemed to think of something： “The Holy Lord means that among those demons…”

But soon frowned again. Demons couldn’t refine pills because of the magic yuan in their bodies.

“You don’t need to care who refined them. Just do as I said.”

“Yes！” Seeing Yang Kai so confident, Xu Hui didn’t ask any more questions and immediately arranged with several elders.

Although no one came to help when the Nine Heavens Holy Land encountered a crisis last time, and now it has fallen into the public opinion trend of colluding with evil spirits, this doesn’t prevent the spread of the news.

The elders have also had their own contacts outside over the years and have used their respective means to spread the news.
