Chapter 1061

It is not known what kind of disaster this valley has suffered. Zong Ao’s palace was destroyed, the thousand-mu medicinal field no longer exists, and the great array around the valley has also been completely destroyed.

Zong Ao himself was even more out of his wits, sitting on the ground without any image, covered in dust and with fire in his eyes.

Only Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged among dozens of pill furnaces and broken walls and rubble, not moving at all.

“What’s going on？” Harika and the others were dumbfounded.

This is the forbidden area of the entire Rainfall Star. Usually, no one dares to come here. They couldn’t figure out no matter what why this place seemed to have been looted.

The few people looked at each other, and then flew down bravely. Standing beside Zong Ao, Harika carefully called out and asked, “Elder Zong, what happened here？”

Lin Mufeng even shouted angrily, “Did some blind bastard come here to cause trouble？ Elder Zong just tell us, and we will definitely vent your anger for you！”

The middle-aged woman nodded vigorously beside him, and there was a murderous and unfriendly look in her beautiful eyes.

Zong Ao raised his head, looked at them with eyes, and after a while suddenly jumped up and pointed at Yang Kai’s direction fiercely and said, “It’s that bastard kid who destroyed my medicine field and broke my palace. Now I don’t even have a place to live, and the medicinal materials that I have painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years are not left. If you really want to vent my anger for me, then kill him for me!

Spittle sprayed all over the three people’s heads and faces. The three people stood there motionless, and their expressions were extremely wonderful.

After a long while, Halika laughed awkwardly and comforted, “Old Zong, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. What exactly happened？ Weren’t you refining the healing pill for Lord Xue？ When I came here a few days ago, everything was fine. How could such a thing happen in just a few months？”

He also saw that although Zong Ao was furious and asked them to kill Yang Kai to vent his anger, he was just talking.

Yang Kai was meditating at the moment and looked extremely weak. If Zong Ao really wanted his life, why would he need to borrow the hands of others？ Yang Kai couldn’t be Zong Ao’s opponent even at his full strength, let alone now.

“Who told you that it was me refining the pill？” Zong Ao glanced at them sideways.

“If it’s not you refining, could it be Little Brother Yang refining？” Lin Mufeng laughed dryly.

Zong Ao rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to explain.

He knew that even if he told the truth, others might not believe it！ If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, Zong Ao would have regarded it as someone’s random talk.

But the pill in the jade bottle in his hand was solid evidence！ This kid could really refine a Saint King-level pill with a pill pattern with the cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint Stage.

“Scram. All of you scram！” Zong Ao impatiently waved his hand. “I have been alone here for a hundred years, peaceful for a hundred years. But as soon as this stinky brat came, he caused chaos here. If any of you dare to come within a hundred miles of this place in the future, I will twist off your heads！”

The three Void Returning Realm powerhouses couldn’t help but shrink their heads and all slunk away in defeat, not daring to stay for even a moment.

They had just walked a short distance when Zong Ao’s voice came from behind again： “Wait！”

Harika turned around and accompanied with a smiling face and said： “Is there any other order, Old Man Zong？”

Zong Ao pointed at the dilapidated palace and said： “Find some people to build a new residence for me！ Don’t you have any sense at all? Do you want me to sleep in the wild?”

Harika hurriedly shouted. They also brought a lot of martial artists this time. He left a dozen of them and arranged for them to build a new residence for Zong Ao on the original site, and then apologized and left.

The dozen or so people also flew away in all directions. It seemed that they were going to look for materials to build the house.

Zong Ao took a look at Yang Kai who was still in a coma, and then looked at the Li Huo Dan in the jade bottle in his hand. A hint of dejection couldn’t help but appear on his face.

It was not until three full days later that Yang Kai slowly woke up.

A thick sense of weakness spread from all over his body. Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled everything before he fainted. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and his mind fled into the Sea of Consciousness to investigate.

The Sea of Consciousness was a bit dim. The magnificent sea water in the past was no longer in sight. Now there was only a thin layer of liquid. The Six-Colored Warmth Divine Lotus was sparing no effort to nourish the Divine Soul, but it would take at least ten days for the Sea of Consciousness to be filled again.

Every muscle in his body was extremely sore, and his Saint Yuan was also consumed greatly.

Yang Kai had never experienced such a feeling before It could reluctantly be said that he was injured and it could also be said that he wasn’t injured. Only endless weakness enveloped him. It seemed that a part of the vitality of his whole person had been drained away, making him can’t help feeling a sense of old age.

He stood up with difficulty, looked around, and immediately saw Zong Ao, who was blowing his beard and staring at him not far away. The old guy’s face was rather somber and scary. and his eyes were spraying a man-eating light.

Yang Kai sniffed and didn’t know why he was putting on such a terrifying look.

When he discovered the situation around him, he immediately understood.

He didn’t go to touch his bad luck. After searching in the ruins for a while, he took out the snow moon from under several wooden boards and sat down in a comfortable place on a mountain peak a few miles away.

Before he could even catch his breath, Zong Ao quietly appeared beside him.

Yang Kai looked at him, remaining silent and just panting heavily.

“Aren’t you going to ask if you succeeded or not？” Zong Ao couldn’t help but speak up after waiting for a while.

“I did my best, and that’s enough.”

Zong Ao stared deeply at him. After a moment, he slightly nodded and said, “Just because of your words, this old man won’t pursue the losses you caused this time.”

Anyway, he could go and ask Halika and the others for compensation. He believed they wouldn’t dare not to compensate.

As he spoke like this, he threw the jade bottle that he had been tightly holding onto Yang Kai.

Yang Kai caught it, took a look, and didn’t show much surprise or excitement. It seemed that everything was within his expectations.

Inside the jade bottle, there was a pill. The pill was covered with a layer of dense mist. Even though it was blocked by the jade bottle, it still emitted a strong energy fluctuation.

It was as if it had life, and there was also a regular pulsation coming from inside.

Pill cloud, this was a Li Huo Pill with a pill cloud！

Although it was only of the Saint King Grade Lower Rank, such a pill had great collection significance. If those outstanding alchemists found out, they would probably fight over it.

Because they could spy on a lot of useful information from this pill cloud and perhaps improve their alchemy skills.

While Yang Kai was observing, Zong Ao briefly recounted what had happened after he had fallen unconscious and casually said, “The Pill Cloud on your pill is somewhat different from the ones refined by this old man.”

“In what way is it different？” Yang Kai asked suspiciously.

Zong Ao tossed over several jade bottles. Each jade bottle contained a different pill, and there were only four of them.

These four pills were refined by Zong Ao over the past hundred years and were occasionally born under extremely lucky circumstances.

Yang Kai compared the Li Huo Pill with those pills and immediately discovered the biggest difference.

The Pill Cloud covering Zong Ao’s pills was very sparse and did not cover the entire pill. On one pill, the Pill Cloud was even only half.

Moreover, Yang Kai could clearly sense that the medicinal efficacy and energy contained within the Li Huo Pill were more than twice as powerful as those of Zong Ao’s four pills.

Zong Ao took out another Saint Crystal and placed it in Yang Kai’s hand.

The energy within the Saint Crystal was attracted by the Pill Cloud and quickly gathered towards the pill, being devoured by the pill and enhancing its medicinal efficacy.

“When a pill develops pill patterns, its medicinal efficacy can increase geometrically, and it can be preserved for a long time without worrying about the loss of medicinal efficacy. Ordinary pills are not like this. The longer they are stored, the more medicinal efficacy will be lost. After being stored for thirty to fifty years, they will only become useless waste. Once a pill appears with pill clouds, not only can it be preserved for many years, but the pill clouds will also actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the pill, making the medicinal efficacy more and more concentrated. Therefore, for every pill that gives birth to pill clouds, the longer it is stored, the stronger the medicinal efficacy will be！” Zong Ao seemed to be talking to himself and said eloquently.

Yang Kai nodded, and he had a deep understanding of this.

When he took the pill with pill clouds back then, he was almost blown up. That pill had a history of thousands of years.

“This pill of mine was accidentally refined ninety years ago.” Zong Ao picked up a jade bottle from Yang Kai’s hand. There was a brown pill stored in the bottle. “After ninety years of nourishment, the medicinal efficacy has increased by more than double, and its grade is still the middle grade of the Saint King level. However, compared with the Li Huo Pill you refined a few days ago, it is still inferior.”

“This is probably due to the integrity of the pill clouds！” Yang Kai said thoughtfully.

“The old man thinks so too.” Zong Ao nodded slightly. “The old man always thought that Dan Yun was like this before. But after seeing your Li Huo Dan, the old man realized that Dan Yun can be more complete and wrap the entire pill. And have you noticed that the speed at which your pill absorbs the energy of the Saint Crystal is faster than these pills of the old man. If it is placed for a few hundred years, its value will be comparable to that of a star！”

“It can’t be that exaggerated, right？” Yang Kai was shocked and felt that this old guy was a bit whimsical.

“Why not?” Zong Ao sneered again and again. “Do you know how many Void Returning Realm powerhouses have been pained pursuing their whole lives but failed to promote to the Void King Realm? Even those few Void King Realms are also seeking ways to make their realms stronger and higher? If this Li Huo Dan is placed for a few hundred years, it may allow a Void King Realm powerhouse who practices the fire-attribute cultivation method to take a step further. Do you think they will exchange a star with you for it at that time?

After hearing what he said, Yang Kai really felt that it was possible, although there was a suspicion of exaggeration.

“Do you still want to give this pill to this girl to take？” Zong Ao stared at him deeply and then looked at Xue Yue who was lying unconscious on the side.

“With her life almost gone, what’s there to be reluctant about？” Yang Kai sneered. The reason why he painstakingly refined the Li Huo Dan was not just to give it to Xue Yue to take？

Zong Ao’s face twitched slightly. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he held it back and waved his hand, saying, “Forget it. It’s your refined pill, and you have the final say. But you have to tell me how you managed to refine the Pill Cloud？”

“I don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head.

Zong Ao almost spat out blood.
