Chapter 1041
byWhen Yang Kai barged into the valley, he was instantly noticed by the old man who was refining pills. He couldn’t help but frown and a terrifying force that made people’s hearts palpitate surged out from his skinny body.
The valley where he was located was the forbidden area of the entire Rainfall Star. No one was allowed to approach, and no one dared to approach. But today, he didn’t expect to be disturbed by a brat who didn’t know the depth.
He was furious in his heart. He originally didn’t want to let it go easily and wanted to directly take Yang Kai’s life to warn others what would happen if they disturbed his quietness of refining pills.
A small figure like Yang Kai, he simply wouldn’t put in his eyes.
But just as he was about to take action, one of the pill furnaces placed around him suddenly made a strange sound. The old man couldn’t help but frown, and a terrifying force that made people’s hearts palpitate surged out of his skinny body. He muttered to himself, ‘It’s so difficult to refine pills. Forget it, forget it. I’ll let you live for a while. I can’t ruin a good furnace of pills because of you. Damn it, pills are really difficult to refine！’
As he muttered to himself, his hands continuously changed the spiritual formulas, injecting his own Saint Yuan into each of the different pill furnaces. The spatial ring on his hand shone with a brilliant light, and one by one, the prepared medicinal materials were thrown into the pill furnace by him. The dosage, heat, and timing were all precise to the minute.
More and more pill furnaces made sounds, but the old man’s expression remained as calm as ever, without the slightest hint of nervousness. However, the speed of his hands increased a lot.
Half an hour later, the old man’s sunken eyes shone with a brilliant light. All the pill furnaces simultaneously hummed at this moment, and a series of clear sounds came from within. The rich aroma of pills filled the air！
He waved his hand, and dozens of pill furnaces of different sizes were all opened. One by one, pills of different sizes and colors, but all full of spiritual energy, flew out and rained down into several jade bottles beside him.
Ding ding dong dong, a pleasant sound rang out, and the three jade bottles were filled to the brim.
The old man didn’t show the slightest bit of fatigue. Instead, he seemed rather excited. Rubbing his dry big hands, he rushed to those jade bottles, picked them up, and carefully inspected each of the just out pills.
“None… None… Still none…” Every time the old man inspected a pill, he would mumble something in a strange way, and the expectant look on his face also gradually disappeared completely, becoming more and more disappointed.
Until nearly forty pills in the three jade bottles were all inspected, he still hadn’t been able to find what he wanted.
As if having received some huge blow, a look of despair emerged on the old man’s face. He let out a heavy sigh and said, “Pills are really difficult to refine. Why aren’t there any pill patterns? Could it be that the old man’s method of winning by quantity is wrong? It shouldn’t be like this！”
As he spoke, he casually threw these jade bottles aside, as if throwing away something worthless and didn’t even look at them.
In the corner of that room, a large number of jade bottles were piled up. There were at least a hundred bottles. Each bottle was filled with pills, and the grade of the pills in each bottle was not lower than the Saint King level. There were even Void-level pills there.
The old man sat down sadly, thinking about the gains and losses of his alchemy, seeking the root cause of why he couldn’t refine pill patterns. While thinking, he scratched his hair, making his already thin white hair even sparser.
He sat there for three days and three nights, without any movement like a dead person. Only his pair of eyes changed constantly, revealing a deep light of contemplation.
Suddenly, a hint of subtle energy fluctuation came from the medicine field outside, and this hint of energy fluctuation interrupted his thinking. He raised his head unhappily and looked towards the medicine field.
He then remembered that an uninvited guest had come here three days ago, but at that time he didn’t have time to deal with it. And then he forgot about that kid.
“Haven’t left yet?” The old man’s eyes showed a look of surprise and doubt. He quietly released his spiritual sense to sense outside. The next moment, he let out a light eh sound, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting and actually began to pay attention to the movement on Yang Kai’s side.
In the medicine field, Yang Kai sat cross-legged, and his spiritual sense spread out in all directions like a tide.
The threads of thought, one by one, one strand by one strand, Youdaoplaceholder0 into every inch of the land in the medicine field, peek at ing the wonder of these medicine fields.
These medicine fields were not randomly reclaimed. The rows and columns among them all secretly corresponded to the mysteries of the spirit array. Each medicine field was a different spirit array. With the help of the power of the spirit array, it gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, promoted the growth of those spiritual grasses and spiritual medicines in the medicine field, and made their growth years shorter.
A herbal medicine planted here for fifty years could have a medicinal age of a hundred years or even higher.
Yang Kai didn’t know who had set this up, but it should be the owner of the palace, the alchemist hiding inside！
He was fully immersed in the medicine field, cracking and peering in the hidden spirit arrays in the medicine field completely oblivious to himself!
Yang Kai had learned many spirit arrays, all of which he had spied from the True Alchemy Formula. On the Tongxuan Continent, these spirit arrays had also brought him great help in alchemy.
But the True Alchemy Formula was after all only a product of the Tongxuan Continent.
There were also unique spirit arrays belonging to the Star Field within the Star Field.
The two had their own advantages and disadvantages. Yang Kai learned the hidden spirit arrays in the medicine field on one side compared them with the ones he had mastered, discarding the dross and retaining the essence, and reaped huge benefits.
Seeing this scene, the old man in the palace immediately understood what Yang Kai was doing. After thinking about it, he conversions ed the killing intent in his heart and chuckled, saying, “Forget it, let you go. You are also malleable talent!”
He recalled the hardships he had endured in learning alchemy in the past.
In order to learn different spirit arrays one by one, he traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, visited famous teachers, and was often looked down upon and satirized ed. It was common for him to be shut out and being kicked out was also a common occurrence.
Those outstanding alchemists regarded the spirit arrays they had mastered as treasures and would not easily pass them on. Even when teaching their own disciples, many people would not impart all their knowledge, let alone him, a person who came to study.
When he was at Yang Kai’s age, he was also extremely obsessed with alchemy and vowed to make a name for himself in the way of alchemy and make the world look at him with new eyes.
But now, he knew that his idea at that time was wrong. Alchemy is not learned to make the world change their views on oneself, but one’s life-long pursuit.
Yang Kai’s seriousness and concentration reminded him of the past, and his original intention to kill Yang Kai suddenly changed. He no longer paid attention to him and let him spy on the various mysteries in the medicine field.
As time passed, the old man in the palace began to refine pills. As always, dozens of pill furnaces were started at the same time, and one plant after another of medicinal materials was put in.
Outside the palace, Yang Kai was like an old monk in meditation, with a thick layer of dust on his body, eagerly studying those spirit arrays.
One old and one young, having nothing to do with each other, each busy, each addicted and focused.
Every once in a while, after the old man finished refining the pills, he would go to observe Yang Kai and found that he was still sitting there. He couldn’t help but appreciate the patience and perseverance of this kid a little.
Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and few people can do something without distraction. That kid can be so focused, which is really good.
Yang Kai could also sense that the owner of the palace would occasionally sweep over here with his spiritual thoughts, but since the other party didn’t drive him away, he had the cheek to continue sitting in the same place.
He planned to go and thank him properly after learning the spirit arrays here.
He didn’t mean to come here to steal the skills, but just out of interest.
The peaceful and quiet life continued. One day, Yang Kai was studying the wonderful use of the spiritual array hidden in one of the medicine fields, analyzing and comparing it with what he had learned before. Suddenly, a sense of warning rose in his heart, and a feeling of uneasiness and restlessness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He immediately opened his eyes and probed around with his spiritual sense.
Soon, his brows furrowed because he didn’t detect any approaching danger at all. Within a few hundred miles around here, except for himself, a living person, there was only the owner of that palace. There wasn’t even a single bird.
He thought it was some kind of illusion of his own. Just as he was about to calm down and continue his study, that feeling of uneasiness became a little stronger.
It was as if his life was being threatened and he was about to die.
He suddenly stood up, his face as cold as water.
With his strength reaching this level, his own feeling was quite acute. This kind of uneasiness and warning couldn’t arise for no reason. There could only be two situations for having such a feeling.
Either there was a strong person ambushing around, waiting for an opportunity to take his life, or because of some other reasons, resulting in a threat to safety.
The former was not very likely.
Although he didn’t know what cultivation level the owner of that palace had, he could determine that the other party must be a master. If there were really strong people bushing around, the owner of the palace couldn’t not detect it.
Moreover, Yang Kai felt that there should be no one targeting him. After all, he hadn’t made any enemies during this period of time and wouldn’t be targeted for no reason.
The only one with whom he had a feud, Xue Yue, had developed a sense of intimacy towards him because of the Soul Chain. She would protect him without hesitation and would never attack him.
Thinking of Xue Yue and the Soul Chain, Yang Kai’s expression changed, and a guess emerged in his mind.
Could something have happened to Xue Yue？
Because of the Soul Chain, the lives of the two had been linked together. If Xue Yue was in a life-and-death situation, it was very likely to affect his feelings.
The more Yang Kai thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He didn’t dare to stay any longer and immediately controlled the Star Shuttle, speeding towards the branch of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce.
He cursed in his heart. He had originally thought that with Xue Yue’s considerable strength and the presence of Halika, a Void Return Stage expert, there should be no mistakes. So during this period of time, he had been dealing with his own affairs with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, such a thing had happened now, making him extremely angry.
“Gone？” In the palace, the old man glanced in the direction where Yang Kai had left, slowly shook his head, and didn’t pay much attention.
To him, Yang Kai’s arrival was just like throwing a small stone into his unchanging peaceful life. The ripples it caused didn’t affect him in the slightest, and he didn’t care whether Yang Kai left or stayed.
He continued to focus on the dozens of alchemy furnaces beside him, changing the magic formula handprints, Youdaoplaceholder0 primordial, and controlling the heat in each alchemy furnace.
