Chapter 1368

On the high platform in the auction hall, Yan Pei waited quietly for half a stick of incense. Seeing that no one still proposed an exchange, he couldn’t help but show a disappointed look： “It seems that you all don’t have any news about the Flowing Flame Flying Fire and the Soul Washing Divine Water. Well, thank you all for coming to support again！”

Saying this, he turned around and left.

Although the powerhouses of various forces wanted that Star Emperor Token, they couldn’t meet the requirements put forward by the owner of the token, so they could only shake their heads and sigh. After all, they couldn’t just snatch it. Leaving aside how much value a useless Star Emperor Token has, just the Jubaolou is not something that can be easily provoked.

In an instant, the martial artists in the auction hall left one after another. Yang Kai casually glanced at the hall and found that Lu Ye had disappeared at some point.

That guy really slipped away fast. He knew that his bid this time was too generous and had already attracted the attention of many people. Staying any longer would definitely not be a good thing. Yang Kai sneered and didn’t care. Anyway, the grudge between him and Lu Ye would be settled sooner or later, and he wasn’t in a hurry for a while. Standing up, he said to the girl Qing’er, “Take me to see Old Man Yan. I have something to ask of him.”

“Yes！” Qing’er replied and didn’t ask any more questions. Immediately, she walked in front to lead the way.

Although Yang Kai only made a move once in this auction, he also showed extraordinary financial resources. Moreover, on the way to Jubaolou, Qing’er had seen with her own eyes that Yan Pei was kind to Yang Kai. Naturally, she knew that Yan Pei and Yang Kai were not strangers. Such a person naturally had the qualification to meet Yan Pei.

Just as he walked out of Box B13, Yang Kai suddenly felt two subtle spiritual senses sweep over him. His figure stagnated slightly, and then Yang Kai continued to follow Qing’er as if nothing had happened.

Although he didn’t find out exactly who was spying on him, Yang Kai still had some guesses.

It was nothing more than the Wind of the Myriad Beasts mountains and Jin Shi of the Demon Blood Sect. He had only made a move once in the auction, and the only two people who had competed with him were these two. It seemed that they still hadn’t given up on that Mysterious Gold.

With a cold snort in his heart, Yang Kai didn’t show the slightest bit on his face.

And the divine sense that was spying on him just swept past and didn’t have any other intentions. A moment later, Yang Kai had already arrived at a certain certain chamber in the back hall of Jubaolou and sat upright, waiting.

About half a cup of tea’s worth of time, Elder Yan Pei with a dark face pushed open the door and entered. With a smile on his face, he looked at Yang Kai and said, “Little Friend Yang.”

“Greetings, Senior Yan！” Yang Kai stood up and cupped his fists.

“En, sit down.” Yan Pei gestured, and he himself walked to the chair beside Yang Kai and sat down, getting straight to the point and saying, “I wonder if Little Friend Yang has something for this old man to help with？”

“Senior Yan has discerning eyes. This junior indeed has something to ask for Senior’s help.” Yang Kai grinned and added, “En, to be precise, it is to want to borrow the strength of your building.”

“Then tell me and let me listen. But let me say first, the purpose of my Jubaolou is to make money in harmony. If you want this old man to help, you have to pay a certain reward, and Jubaolou and this old man don’t take on the business of killing people and seizing their goods either.”

“This junior naturally knows this. What this junior asks for does not violate the purpose of Jubaolou.”

“That’s good！” Yan Pei nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s like this. This junior is looking for a top-grade earth-attribute treasure.”

“Earth Attribute Supreme Treasure?” Yan Pei’s brows raised. He looked at Yang Kai thoughtfully and chuckled. “Today, Little Friend Yang spent a huge sum of money to win a piece of Mysterious Gold. Now you are looking for an Earth Attribute Supreme Treasure. Could it be that you want to cultivate some secret technique?

This old guy! Yang Kai secretly cursed in his heart. He knew that a person like Yan Pei had seen a lot. As long as he revealed a little bit of information, the other party could guess pretty accurately. He didn’t admit it stupidly. Instead, he said with a faint smile, “Senior Yan. Besides Gathering treasures, does Gathering Treasure Building really also be responsible for gathering information?”

This sentence was said by the Wind Granny of Myriad Beasts Mountain during the auction. Yang Kai just used it. So he wouldn’t offend anyone.

Yan Pei was stunned and laughed heartily. “I was just asking casually. If Little Friend Yang doesn’t want to say it, there’s no need to say it. However, Little Friend Yang should still mention the specific requirements. In this way, I and Gathering Treasure Building will also have a direction to look for. Maybe there’s no need to look for it. There may be the thing that Little Friend needs stored in the building.”

“There are specific requirements. It would be good if it is not lower than the Inner Core of a Tenth-Order Monster Beast！”

“Tier-10 monster beast…” Yan Pei’s eyes shrank, and he looked at Yang Kai in surprise and shock. Although he had some faint guesses, he didn’t expect Yang Kai’s request to be so high. If that was really the case, then the things stored in the Jubaolou might not be able to meet the other party’s requirements. After all, a Tier-10 monster beast was equivalent to a Void King Realm powerhouse, and such a thing could not exist on You’an Star.

“It doesn’t have to be just the inner core. As long as the grade and value are not lower than that of a Tier-10 monster beast’s inner core, it will do.” Yang Kai added.

“Well, this is a bit difficult. I don’t dare to guarantee anything. I can only say that I will try my best to help you keep an eye out and look for it. Of course, little friend, you yourself must not be idle. Maybe you have enough good fortune yourself and will be able to obtain the thing you want.”

“This junior naturally understands.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. Of course, he wouldn’t pin all his hopes on the Jubaolou. This time he came to see Yan Pei just to mention this matter by the way. The main reason was still for the Star Emperor Token.

With this in mind, Yang Kai changed the topic and said, “By the way, Senior Yan, the Star Emperor Token you took out earlier…”

“What, do you want to exchange it？” Yan Pei was just drinking tea. Suddenly hearing Yang Kai mention the Star Emperor Token, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and asked hurriedly, as if he couldn’t wait.

This greatly surprised Yang Kai. After all, according to Yan Pei, this thing was exchanged by one of his reclusive old friends. He would show such eagerness. It seems that the relationship between that reclusive expert and Yan Pei is not shallow. Otherwise, why would this old dark-faced man be so concerned？

“Well, junior wants to exchange！” Yang Kai nodded while thinking.

“Do you have Flowing Flame Flying Fire？” Yan Pei’s eyes widened and he asked excitedly.

Yang Kai shook his head.

Yan Pei frowned, and then exclaimed： “Then do you know where there is Soul-Washing Divine Water？”

“I don’t know either.” Yang Kai still shook his head. The Soul-Washing Divine Water is really too rare, and it can’t be carried. It can only be used on the spot. Otherwise, when the Soul-Washing Divine Water was discovered in the Flowing Flame Sand Land, Qu Changfeng, Leng Qing and others would have already divided it up and taken it away. There was no need to soak in the pool water at all.

Seeing that he had neither this nor that, even though Yan Pei had a good impression of Yang Kai, he couldn’t help but sink his face and said lightly: “Young Friend Yang, aren’t you amuse me? I have stated more than once that my old friend only needs these two things to exchange the Star Emperor Token. Since you don’t have the Flowing Flame Flying Fire and don’t have the news of the Soul-Washing Divine Water, how dare you come to exchange the Star Emperor Token with me?

“Senior, don’t be angry！” Yang Kai smiled slightly, not showing any sign of panic at all. After pondering for a while, he said, “Well, if it’s convenient, can junior have a face-to-face conversation with that senior？ Junior will definitely not disappoint him.”

Seeing his determined look, Yan Pei was extremely suspicious and didn’t know where Yang Kai got such great confidence.

If it were someone else saying this, Yan Pei would have already taken action to drive them away. But Yang Kai’s background was mysterious. According to his inquiries, he had drifted to this place from the star field outside of You’an Star. Maybe he had something that the local people of You’an Star didn’t have, and it could be comparable in function to Soul-Washing Divine Water or Flowing Flame Flying Fire.

Thinking of this, Yan Pei’s expression softened slightly, but he still said with a sullen face, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll call him over. However, Yang Xiaoyou, you’d better have some confidence.”

“Is ten percent confidence enough？” Yang Kai grinned, full of confidence.

After all, even if his previous guess was wrong, he still had Flowing Flame Flying Fire. It’s just that he didn’t want to take it out unless it was a last resort.

When Yan Pei heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. He didn’t say any more nonsense. He immediately took out the communication compass, infused his spiritual thoughts and gave a few instructions, and then quietly waited.

After waiting for less than half a stick of incense time, there was a knock on the door outside.

“Come in！” Yan Pei shouted.

The door was immediately pushed open, and a young-looking man walked in from outside. Although this young man seemed not very old, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed that he was not as young as he appeared on the surface.

This person’s appearance was rather peculiar. He had a pointed mouth and a monkey-like face, and his small eyes seemed as if they could never be opened, with only two slits, but there was a glint of fine inside. He was tall and slender and his two hands were longer than those of ordinary people, with broad palms. The most noticeable thing was that this person actually had a set of overbite teeth.

Yang Kai’s first impression of this person was nothing but wretchedness, wretchedness.

For a moment, he was a bit dumbfounded. His spiritual thoughts swept over him and suddenly found that the other party was just a martial artist at the First-Order of Void Returning Realm.

This was the hidden old friend that Yan Pei had mentioned？

Why did he look like a ruffian in the marketplace? Yang Kai almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea. Even Yang Yan, who was sitting aside, couldn’t help but cover her small mouth with her little hand and couldn’t help laughing at his peculiar appearance.

Yan Pei coughed lightly and said loudly, “Don’t think too much. This is the younger generation of my old friend. My old friend has some difficulties in coming out of seclusion. This Star Emperor Token was exchanged by him.”

Yang Kai then showed a sudden realization. If he was the descendant of that hidden expert, such cultivation and age were understandable.

“Mr. Yan, you’re looking for me？” The buck-toothed martial artist didn’t seem to take Yang Kai and Yang Yan seriously at all. After entering the room, he directly asked.

“Yes.” Yan Pei nodded slightly.

The other party’s expression lit up with joy, and he eagerly asked, “So, is there any news about the item for exchange？”

“Barely speaking.” Yan Pei didn’t know how to answer. Naturally, such an answer made the other party stunned. Fortunately, Yan Pei then pointed at Yang Kai and said, “This is Young Friend Yang Kai. He said he can meet the requirements of Nephew Ge, but he wants to discuss it with you face to face. I’m only responsible for introducing you two. As for the following matters, you two can discuss them on your own.”

“Meet my requirements？” Only then did the buck-toothed martial artist turn his head to look at Yang Kai. He sized him up suspiciously, and the look of disdain in his eyes was very strong.
