Chapter 1209

Upon hearing Dai Yuan’s words, the other three couldn’t help but quicken their pace.

And Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er asked about the spectacle of Three Yangs Opening Peace and Yang Kai also pretended to be very interested and listened.

After Dai Yuan’s account, Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er finally understood what the Three Yangs opened Peace was but Yang Kai’s expression became strange.

He discovered that although this Dai Yuan recognized the Red Candle Fruit and also knew the spectacle of Three Yangs Opening Peace, it seemed that she didn’t know everything…

I wonder if others are the same. However, Yang Kai is certain that not only he and Dai Yuan have recognized the Red Candle Fruit. The most outstanding people from You’an Star have all gathered on the third floor, and there must be others who can recognize it.

After a full two hours, the group of four arrived at a small valley. The valley was not large, about a hundred zhang in circumference. At the bottom of the valley, there was dark red earth everywhere, with countless cracks and gullies. Strangely, there were some withered trees growing in this valley. The trees were also red, looking as if they had no vitality. However, upon closer inspection, it could be found that these trees were clearly not dead. There was a strange power that allowed them to linger in this cruel environment.

On all four sides of the valley, there were hills of various sizes, at least twenty or more.

When Yang Kai and the others arrived here, about half of these hills already had people standing on them. These people, with their respective sects as units, controlled these small hills as a place to stay.

Most of the martial artists’ eyes wander in the withered trees in the valley showing expressions of longing and eagerness. Strangely, however, not a single person entered the interior of the valley. No one knew what everyone was afraid of.

When Yang Kai and the others arrived, countless gazes swept over here, and many people showed expressions of vigilance and disgust. After all, with this kind of heaven-defying spiritual fruit about to mature, the fewer people coming, the better.

But everyone knew that this kind of thought was unrealistic. Before the Red Candle Fruit matured, the strange scene of the rising red sun had already made the entire third floor boil. I’m afraid everyone was rushing over here. So even though they were vigilant and disgusted, they had no choice but to just glance at Yang Kai and the others and then take back their gazes.

Yang Kai’s gaze swept around, and his heart was secretly awe-inspiring.

This time the scene was indeed grand enough. Not to mention that there were a lot of people coming, each one was an elite from those major sects.

He saw the people from the Battle Heaven League here, saw the people from the Thunder Terrace Sect, saw the people from the Glazed Door, and saw other young talents he didn’t know. Altogether, there were at least seventy or eighty people.

The four of them came relatively late. There must be more people on the way. Presumably, it will be even more chaotic here by then.

Yang Kai also saw the cold warrior who had previously occupied the central position of the Soul-Washing Divine Water. This guy was blatantly occupying a small hillock all by himself, as if no one else was around. With his hands behind his back, his expression was as indifferent as ever, and his figure was as straight as a sword. Standing there proudly, but no one dared to go up and cause trouble for him.

Most of the people who came here could more or less guess the identity of this fellow, so who would dare to seek trouble with him? Therefore, although they disliked his behavior, no one dared to say anything.

As for the Liuli Sect side, after Yin Sudie saw Dai Yuan, her expression seemed a bit strange, as if she didn’t expect her senior sister to be traveling with others. But after recognizing Dong Xuan’er, she looked relieved. Immediately, she ignored them and didn’t show any intention of greeting Dai Yuan.

Wei Guchang swept his gaze around and then pointed to an unattended small hill and said, “Let’s go there.”

Soon, the four of them arrived at the top of this small hill. Like the others, they looked down at the valley below and observed intently.

“Where are the Red Candle Fruits？” Wei Guchang looked around but didn’t find any trace of the spiritual fruits. What he saw was only countless dead trees, and he couldn’t help but be extremely astonished.

“The Red Candle Fruits can’t be seen before they mature,” Dai Yuan slowly shook her head. “But they must be in this valley without a doubt. When they mature, they will naturally float to the surface.”

“So that’s how it is！” Wei Guchang nodded slightly.

“Eh, Senior Brother Li Younan of the Medicine and Pill Sect has come over. I wonder what he wants to do.” Dong Xuan’er let out a soft exclamation and cast her gaze not far away. Over there, a warrior in a green robe with a jade belt, looking gentle and refined, dressed as a middle-aged Confucian scholar, was galloping towards this side. Before he even arrived, he smiled and waved his hand at this side.

The Medicine and Pill Sect, Yang Kai had also heard of it.

In any place, there are such sects or forces that specialize in refining pills for a living. In Zhongdu, there is the Medicine King Valley. On the Tongxuan Continent, there is the Alchemist Association. On You’an Star, the most famous one is the Medicine and Pill Sect.

Such existences are generally not easily offended by others, because perhaps at some point, one might have to ask them for help.

And within the Medicine and Pill Sect, there are as many as five Void Grade Lower Rank alchemists, topping the entire You’an Star. Each of these five people is a master-level existence famous on You’an Star, admired by everyone. Wherever they go, they will be treated as honored guests.

And since this guy named Li Younan can penetrate into the third layer of the Flowing Flame Sand Land, he must also be an elite in the Medicine and Pill Sect. It seems that he also knows Wei Guchang, Dong Xuan’er and the others. I just don’t know what kind of friendship they have.

Soon, the middle-aged Confucian scholar named Li Younan arrived at the hilltop where the four people were located. He smiled and cupped his hands at Wei Guchang, and said in a warm tone： “Brother Wei, as expected, you have also come.”

Wei Guchang returned the salute and laughed loudly, “Naturally, I have to come and join in the fun for such a thing.”

Beside them, Dong Xuan’er and Dai Yuan both greeted Li Younan one after another. Li Younan responded with a smile, looking very gentle and refined. He also asked about Yang Kai’s background and name, but was brushed aside by Wei Guchang with a single sentence.

Although Li Younan was a bit strange about what a Saint King 1-layer cultivator like Yang Kai was doing here, since he was brought by Wei Guchang, he didn’t ask too many questions.

“Brother Li, I wonder what brings you here to look for Wei Mou？” Wei Guchang asked straightforwardly with half-closed eyes.

“Brother Wei, since you came here after seeing the vision, do you know what is about to be born here?

“I heard it’s the Red Candle Fruit.” Wei Guchang replied.

Li Younan raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. But after looking at Dai Yuan, he suddenly understood, patted his forehead and said, “It’s a stupid question from Li Mou. Since Miss Dai Yuan is here, Brother Wei must know. There are probably no strange plants and fruits in this world that Miss Dai Yuan doesn’t know about.”

“Brother Li is too kind. Dai Yuan has just done a little research.” Dai Yuan replied lightly.

“Hehe, Miss Daiyuan doesn’t need to be modest. There are originally not many people who can recognize the Red Candle Fruit. Brother Qu of the Zhantian League, Brother Fang of the Leitai Sect, and Miss Yin of the Liuli Sect don’t recognize it. It was me who went to tell them. Otherwise, why do you think they have been holding their ground? With their tempers, they would probably have already gone down and scraped the valley three feet deep.”

Wei Guchang suddenly understood. Only then did he understand why everyone was standing on the surrounding hilltops and not moving. It turned out that for every force that came here, Li Younan would go and notify them.

He did this obviously not out of kindness. With a precious treasure in front, no one didn’t want to take it for themselves, and he, Li Younan, was the same.

The reason he would notify others was obviously that he didn’t want people to act rashly and interfere with the ripening of the Red Candle Fruit. If the Red Candle Fruit really disappeared because of the interference of people who didn’t know the situation, that would be the biggest loss.

So even though he was a little reluctant, Li Younan still worked hard to run on each hilltop and told the warriors who came here about the situation one by one.

“Brother Li is really concerned about the world and benefits all living beings. Wei is really impressed!” Wei Guchang had a sincere look and kept cupping his hands.

This hat was a bit too big. Li Younan repeatedly said that he didn’t dare. Then he changed the topic and only then revealed his true intention： “I wonder if Brother Wei is interested in joining hands with my Yaodan Sect？”

“Join hands？” Wei Guchang’s eyes narrowed even more, and he sneered and said, “Brother Li, although Wei is not very proficient in pharmacology, I also know that there should be only one Red Candle Fruit. How can we join hands？ If we really get the Red Candle Fruit, how should it be distributed？”

“Brother Wei, please listen to me finish.” Li Younan seemed to have known that he would say this for a long time, and he was not in a hurry, with a calm expression on his face.

“Brother Li, please speak. I will listen carefully.” Although Wei Guchang knew what tricks the other party was up to, he couldn’t shut the door on him. After all, there was no benefit in offending the Medicine Pill Sect.

“What I mean is, first get the Red Candle Fruit. Although there is only one such spiritual fruit, if it is used to make medicine and refine pills, it should be able to refine more than one pill.” Li Younan said while observing Wei Guchang’s expression. Seeing that Wei Guchang didn’t respond much, he continued, “As far as I know, there is only one Void-level lower-grade alchemist in your Shadow Moon Palace, right？ And that alchemist has only been promoted for a few years, and the success rate of refining Void-level pills is not high. If Brother Wei gets the Red Candle Fruit and takes it back, he can only let the elders in the sect swallow it alive, and the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced.”

Pausing for a moment, a proud look emerged on Li Younan’s face： “This situation is not only the case for your Shadow Moon Palace, but also for all the other major sects. However, it is different for my Medicine Pill Sect. My Medicine Pill Sect has a total of five Void-level lower-grade alchemists. Although the grade of this Red Candle Fruit is very high, if the elders of my Medicine Pill Sect join hands, it is not impossible to refine a dozen or so pills.”

Hearing this, Wei Guchang finally understood what the other party wanted to say. He looked at Li Younan obliquely and said, “Brother Li means that your Medicine Pill Sect will take the Red Candle Fruit, refine it into pills, and give a share to my Shadow Moon Palace？”

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I think！” Li Younan nodded repeatedly. “I not only said this to Brother Wei, but also to Brother Qu of the Battle Heaven Alliance, Brother Fang of the Thunder Terrace Sect, and Miss Yin of the Colored Glass Sect, Brother Qu of the Double Heart Valley, and Brother Tang of the Misty Palace.”

“And what’s their attitude？” Wei Guchang’s sword eyebrows raised.

“Hehe, although everyone hasn’t said yet, I think I should be able to convince them.” Li Younan put on a confident look.
