Chapter Index

Chang Qi had, after all, spent a bit more time with Yang Kai, so his expression recovered more quickly. With a smile, he asked, “Do you have a lot of questions?”

Yang Kai nodded. “Yes. Why are there only the two of you from the Heike Family?”

It was precisely because he had so many questions that he had brought the two of them over to ask about the situation.

Entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field was an opportunity that had only arisen in the past four hundred years. The Heike Family was a small family and could at most have two or three spots. Such an opportunity should rightfully be taken by the elders or even the Clan Chief of the main family in person. There was no way it would fall to Chang Qi and Hao An, two external surname Enshrineds.

Chang Qi let out a sigh and said, “None of them were willing to come! Otherwise, how could it be such a windfall for us two old fellows.”

Yang Kai was stunned. “How could no one come?”

Hao An smiled and began to explain. “After what happened last time, the Heike Family is not at all favored by the Shadow Moon Palace. From the Clan Chief at the top to the ordinary disciples at the bottom, everyone is on tenterhooks every day. Many Enshrineds have even left the Heike Family, leaving only me and Old Chang who haven’t left. Those elders have also secluded themselves in cultivation and don’t dare to go out and meet people easily.”

Yang Kai suddenly understood a bit. “Afraid of me?”

“Almost.” Chang Qi nodded. “Of course they are afraid that you will settle accounts with them after the autumn. The Heike family has already given up a large part of their industries. Ian is trying his best to contract the family’s strength and has recalled all the disciples in the family to let them retreat and cultivate. Coupled with the fact that the Shadow Moon Palace doesn’t like the family either, the days in the family are getting harder and harder. Now in the entire Heike family, except for me and Brother Hao, no one is willing to go out, and no one dares to come out.”

Yang Kai was surprised and laughed.

He didn’t expect Ian, the head of the Heike family, to be so cautious.

Even if he had provoked him before, but for the sake of Wu Yi, Yang Kai had already let it go and had no intention of seeking revenge from the Heike family at all. Who would have known that the other party was living in fear and trembling.

But it serves them right. Yang Kai won’t trouble them, but he won’t sympathize with them either.

“Elder Qian is kind-hearted and still allocated two places for my Heike family to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field. So Brother Hao and I rushed over.” Chang Qi continued, “If Brother Hao and I don’t break through again, we don’t have many years left to live. We just want to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field to look for some opportunities for breakthrough. By the way, we also want to see if we can fulfill the agreement with the head of the family.”

“Agreement?” Yang Kai frowned.

“Well, the head of the family means that the entire family is now in a state of seclusion and doesn’t need any offerings. As long as we can turn over half of the benefits obtained in the Flowing Flame Sand Field, we can leave the Hecker family and seek another way out.”

Yang Kai’s expression turned cold: “Is he bullying honest people?”

The other offerings left whenever they wanted, and Ian didn’t mention any conditions. But when it came to Chang Qi and Hao An, they had to turn over half of the profits obtained in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. Ian really had a good plan.”

He didn’t need the people of his own family to take risks, and maybe he could still get some good materials. What was this if it wasn’t bullying honest people?”

At this moment, Yang Kai became even more disgusted with this Ian.

Chang Qi and Hao An were also very strange. All the other offerings had left. Why did they stay? And they also made such an unreasonable agreement with Ian.

As if seeing Yang Kai’s doubts, Chang Qi explained with some desolation: “After all, Brother Hao and I are the family’s offerings. We have received a lot of benefits from the family over the years. It really feels uneasy to just leave like this. So the two of us agreed to the head of the family’s request.”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head. Although he couldn’t agree with their approach, the loyalty and righteousness of these two people made Yang Kai very admire. If it wasn’t for the word loyalty and righteousness lingering in their hearts, they wouldn’t have agreed to such conditions.

His heart moved, and Yang Kai asked: “If the two of you can safely return from the Flowing Flame Sand Field this time, do you have any place to go?”

Chang Qi and Hao An looked at each other and both slowly shook their heads and said, “The two of us have stayed in the Hecker family for most of our lives. Without the family, we really don’t know where to go. The cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint King is neither high nor low. The key is that the two of us are old and I’m afraid there is no place that can accept us.”

They have no children and naturally have no place to rely on.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “If the two of you don’t mind, how about settling down in Dragon Cave Mountain? Wu Yi and Yu Feng often talk about you. There are also many disciples who originally belonged to the Hecker family over there. With the two of you going to sit in and manage, those brats should be honest and obedient.”

Chang Qi and Hao An’s eyes lit up, and the former exclaimed in disbelief: “Can we go?”

“Of course you can. It’s not a forbidden area. I can’t wait to welcome you.” Yang Kai laughed.

The two elders were so excited that their faces were flushed and their beards were trembling. Chang Qi said incoherently: “This… this is how, how embarrassing.”

It can be seen that he is very tempted to go to Dragon Cave Mountain. Now Dragon Cave Mountain is not what it used to be. The peaks are surrounded by clouds and mists, and the spiritual energy is compelling. It can completely be used as a spiritual place to establish a sect. As time goes by, the spiritual energy there will become more and more intense.

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’re all not outsiders. When you go there, you can also take the time to guide the cultivation of those disciples.”

The two enshrinements exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stood up and bowed deeply, saying in unison, “In that case, we would be rude to decline.”

Chang Qi added, “If we can safely return this time, then our two old lives will be yours, little brother.”

“Senior is too serious. The two of you being alive is more important than anything.” Yang Kai quickly motioned for them to sit down, and then continued to ask, “I wonder if the two seniors have made any preparations for entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field?”

“We have made some preparations, but I don’t know if they will be useful.” Hao An sighed. “Brother Chang and I exhausted all our savings and finally managed to purchase an ice-attribute defensive secret treasure of the upper-grade Saint King level each. Besides that, there are also some healing pills, but we couldn’t prepare anything else.”

This is the difference between people. An upper-grade Saint King level secret treasure is at most thirty or forty thousand Saint Crystals. Even in this special period, the price of ice-attribute defensive secret treasures is expensive, but it’s at most only fifty or sixty thousand.

The two enshrinements, however, exhausted all their savings.

And these Saint Crystals are simply not worth mentioning to Yang Kai!

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai took out eight jade bottles from his Space Ring and handed them over, giving four to each person. He explained to them, “One bottle is for healing, two bottles are for restoring Saint Yuan, and the other bottle is for resisting the heat. You should keep them well.”

The pills for resisting the heat were precisely the Ice Snow Pills. Yang Kai had only refined two bottles in total, and now he gave them all to them.

Just as the two were about to decline, Yang Kai added, “I have a lot of this kind of stuff, so don’t refuse.”

Chang Qi and Hao An looked at each other, feeling extremely grateful. They silently accepted the four bottles of pills, and there were even tears glistening in their old eyes.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but be touched. Both of them had spent most of their lives in the Hake family and had given their great half-lives to the Hake family. Now, Ian was going to drive them away and even put forward such conditions. But here with Yang Kai, he took out eight bottles of pills without even blinking an eye and distributed them.

In comparison, it was simply a world of difference.

Chang Qi and Hao An suddenly felt that leaving the Hake family and following Yang Kai might not necessarily be a bad thing. The sadness and desolation of these days suddenly disappeared.

“And these Saint Crystals, you take them too. I heard that in the Hot Flame Region, one can’t absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is a kind of fire poison hidden in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If it is absorbed into the body, it will have great harm to anyone. All recoveries can only rely on Saint Crystals and pills.” Yang Kai took out another ring and handed it to the two.

This time, they didn’t decline again. Chang Qi happily took it, and with a slight sweep of his spiritual sense, he was immediately shocked and changed color, exclaiming, “This is too much.”

The space ring that Yang Kai gave them was exactly the one that Yin Jianzhong handed to him a day ago. There were a full five hundred thousand Saint Crystals in it!

Chang Qi had never seen so many Saint Crystals in his life. He was so scared that he almost dropped the ring.

Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “I have even more Saint Crystals. You take these first. If you don’t use them all up, take them back and use them slowly. Consider it the deposit for inviting you two to settle in Dragon Cave Mountain.”

Suddenly, an idea emerged in Yang Kai’s mind. Currently, with Qian Tong’s care and Yang Yan setting up a great formation for protection, Dragon Cave Mountain is extremely safe. However, in terms of the combat power of the personnel, it is a weak point.

Among all the people, except for himself who can be considered brave and good at fighting, the others are not worth mentioning. Although Wu Yi and Yu Feng, the two Saint King First-Order Realm warriors, have good qualifications, they need a lot of time to grow.

Chang Qi and Hao An are already at the Saint King Third-Order Realm. If they can be promoted to the Void Returning Realm, then the safety of Dragon Cave Mountain will have an additional layer of protection.

Void Returning Realm warriors can utilize the power of momentum, which is a power that even Yang Kai finds extremely headache.

Recruiting them to Dragon Cave Mountain is partly because Wu Yi has a good relationship with them and they are also extremely loyal and righteous. On the other hand, Yang Kai also wants to add some powerful warriors to Dragon Cave Mountain.

The cultivation of the two elders has been stuck at the Saint King Third-Order Realm for many years, but due to the problem of qualifications, they have been unable to break through. If they are given a Condensing Void Pill at this time, they will surely be able to break through the current bottleneck.

But the Cuiluo Grass used to refine the Coagulating Void Pill seems to be very rare. Yang Kai only had two plants before and has already used them up.

It seems that this time when entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field, I have to go to the area of natural treasures to see if I can find the Cuiluo Grass. If there is some harvest, it will be the best. If there is no harvest, I can also go to buy it. Anyway, Yang Kai is not short of Saint Crystals now.

After much persuasion, finally let Chang Qi and Hao An take the ring.

Yang Kai began to explain to them all kinds of news about the Flowing Flame Sand Field that he heard from Wei Guchang.

Although Chang Qi and Hao An also got some information in this regard, it is not as complete as what Yang Kai got So they listened intently and did not dare to miss the slightest.
