Chapter 1046

When they were still thirty miles away from that valley, Hali Ka stopped. After hemming and hawing for a long time, he said, “Little brother, I’ll wait for you here. If things don’t work out, leave immediately and don’t pester. Master Zong Ao hates this kind of person the most. the consequences will be disastrous.

Yang Kai swept him up and down. Hali Ka looked embarrassed and explained, “Little brother, you are young and your cultivation base is low. Even if Master Zong Ao is angry, I’m afraid he won’t lower his status to take action against you. But if I go with you…”

“Got it.” Yang Kai guessed his concerns and didn’t force it. He picked up Xue Yue and left like lightning.

Hali Ka stood where he was, stretching his neck and looking forward eagerly. His heart was filled with unease, not knowing whether Yang Kai’s trip would be smooth or if he would be beaten up by Zong Ao.

Thirty miles, in the blink of an eye, Yang Kai had arrived.

Arriving directly outside the palace, Yang Kai loudly shouted, “Senior, my master has encountered a great disaster and is unconscious. I heard that senior is the most outstanding alchemist on Rainfall Star, so I have come here especially to ask senior to take action and treat him. I beg senior to be convenient and diagnose my master.”

Inside the palace, it was completely quiet. Yang Kai could sense that there was a life aura coming from it. The alchemist named Zong Ao was indeed inside, but there was no response at all.

He shouted three times in a row and it was still the same.

In the distance, Hali Ka’s heart was almost in his throat. He secretly decided that if Zong Ao rushed out in a rage, he would immediately flee and definitely not stay.

Outside the palace, Yang Kai waited anxiously.

Worldly experts always have some tempers, and this was something Yang Kai could understand. So he didn’t act recklessly. Even Hali Ka, Lin Mufeng, and the others were extremely afraid of this Zong Ao. If he, a small martial artist at the Second-Order Saint King Realm, angered the other party, there would definitely be no good end. So he just held Xue Yue and stood outside shouting, with a respectful tone, quietly waiting for Zong Ao’s reply.

He was also considering what to do if Zong Ao was not willing to come out.

Xue Yue was unconscious and he couldn’t just leave her alone. The lives of the two were connected. Once Xue Yue encountered any accident in her coma, he wouldn’t be able to survive either.

Therefore, Yang Kai couldn’t wait to wake up Xue Yue and then release that soul chain to restore his freedom.

Just as he was worried about gains and losses, an old voice suddenly came from within the palace： “Come in！”

Yang Kai was stunned. He didn’t expect things to be so smooth. A look of great surprise appeared on his face. After carefully savoring Zong Ao’s tone and finding that he had no dissatisfaction or anger, he then stepped into the palace.

The palace gate was wide open, and there were no guards or servants. It seemed that in this area of several thousand miles, there was only Zong Ao as the only living person.

After walking around in the palace for a while, Yang Kai came to a huge wing room. From within the wing room, a strong fragrance of pills was emitted. He carefully walked in, looked around, and couldn’t help but shrink his eyes.

This wing room should be Zong Ao’s alchemy room.

Just at this moment, there were dozens of large and small pill furnaces placed in this alchemy room. Each pill furnace still had residual heat, indicating that it had just finished alchemy soon.

In a corner of this wing room, a large number of jade bottles were piled up. The jade bottles were all filled with pills. They were colorful and of different types, very spectacular.

Yang Kai roughly estimated that there were at least about two hundred jade bottles piled up. They were just randomly placed on the ground as if they were worthless things.

Yang Kai was secretly shocked. Only then did he know that what Halika had said before was not false. The quantity of pills refined by this Zong Ao was indeed somewhat terrifying.

At this moment, Zong Ao was sitting on a chair made of animal skin, holding a jade bottle in his hand. It seemed that he was checking something.

After taking a look and not finding what he wanted, Zong Ao casually threw that jade bottle into the corner beside him, piling up with the previous jade bottles.

There were still more than a dozen jade bottles beside him.

After checking them one by one, Zong Ao’s eyebrows opened and he smiled, talking to himself and saying, “There is another one. Hehe, not bad, not bad. It’s not in vain for the old man’s hard work. Alas, pills are difficult to refine…”

Saying this, he took out a pill from that jade bottle and put it into another jade bottle prepared in advance.

Yang Kai saw clearly that the pills contained in that jade bottle all had pill patterns.

——This Zong Ao seemed to only keep the pills with pill patterns, and regarded the others as worthless, not bothering to look at them, regardless of the grade or preciousness of those pills.

When Zong Ao was checking the pills, Yang Kai didn’t make a sound to disturb him and just stood there.

After a while, Zong Ao finally finished. He put those pills with pill patterns into his bosom, raised his eyes and looked at Yang Kai, and said with a strange laugh, “You are the brat who was stealing skills at the old man’s medicine field before, right？”

Yang Kai’s face flushed red, and he said awkwardly, “A few days ago, this junior passed by here and was attracted by the mystery of the medicine field. I couldn’t help but stop and study for a while. If there is any offense, please forgive me, senior.”

No matter in which place, stealing skills is an extremely bad thing. Yang Kai also knows that what he did was a bit unethical.

It’s just that he really didn’t think too much at that time. Now that the other party is pursuing it, he has nothing to say.

“Hmm.” Zong Ao was quite satisfied with Yang Kai’s frank attitude of admitting his mistake. He stood up from the chair and chuckled, “Forget it, it’s not a big deal. Today, you are lucky. This old man just finished refining pills and had some gains. Since you are also a pill refiner this old man will not pursue it anymore.”

To be able to understand the mystery in the medicine field, only those who are also pill refiners can do it. Zong Ao knows this better than anyone else.

“What happened to your adult？” Zong Ao took the initiative to ask.

Yang Kai’s expression became solemn： “Unconscious, with vitality frozen, consciousness scattered, and the spirit body of the soul is also nowhere to be found！”

“You went deep into her sea of consciousness？” Zong Ao looked at Yang Kai in surprise.

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

Zong Ao suddenly laughed strangely： “Your relationship with this girl is not simple.”

He looked at Yang Kai with a ambiguous expression, and his smile was thought-provoking.

Only very close people will penetrate into the other person’s sea of consciousness to spy. If Yang Kai was really Xue Yue’s bodyguard, he would never have the courage to do such an overstepping thing.

Zong Ao is an old and shrewd man. How could he not see the twists and turns in it?

Yang Kai didn’t deny it either, but just said, “Please help, senior！”

Zong Ao curled his lips. “Hali Ka has followed. This girl has a high status. Are the other alchemists on Rainfall Star helpless？”

“More than a dozen people have been invited to come and see, and they know nothing about this.”

“A group of waste who only know how to refine pills！” Zong Ao unceremoniously spat and walked casually to Yang Kai’s side, looked at Xue Yue’s state, and swept her body with his spiritual sense. Suddenly, Zong Ao’s expression became solemn.

Yang Kai clearly felt that his spiritual sense had strengthened a little. He seemed to have discovered something.

Seeing this, Yang Kai also held his breath and waited secretly.

Zong Ao’s expression changed, as if hesitant, excited, and crazy. His eyes widened more and more. It was a long time before he shouted in a low voice, “Boy, was this girl harmed by the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water？”

His tone was a little uncertain, obviously not daring to be too arbitrary.

Even so, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration. The dozen or so alchemists before had gathered together and examined for a long time but still didn’t know what was wrong with Xue Yue. But when it came to Zong Ao, he saw the root of the problem at a glance. It could be seen that Zong Ao really had the genuine ability. Nodding seriously, he said： “Yes！”

“It’s really the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water？” Zong Ao shouted, a bit out of control.

“Exactly the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water！”

“Ha！” Zong Ao’s face twitched, unable to hide the excitement and excitement in his heart. He laughed heartily and said： “It’s actually the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water！ This thing really exists？”

He was so excited that he danced and shouted non-stop. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands again, grabbed Yang Kai’s arms like iron hoops, and his eyes burst out with a palpitating light. He said eagerly： “Boy, where is the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water？ Take me there quickly！”

“Please save the person first, senior！” Yang Kai remained unmoved.

“You’re bargaining with me？” Zong Ao’s face turned cold, looking a bit displeased. His gaze pressed over, and he said coldly： “It’s easy for me to kill you. How dare you bargain with me？”

“Please forgive me, senior！” Yang Kai looked persistent.

Zong Ao was slightly absent-minded, looking at Yang Kai with a strange gaze, and cackling with laughter, he said, “You have guts!” It’s been many years since no one has dared to talk to me like this. It seems this little girl is really very important to you. Would you sacrifice your life for her?

Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, “If she dies, I die too！”

This wasn’t a lie, so Yang Kai said it without any psychological burden.

But his appearance and stance somehow touched a nerve in Zong Ao, causing the oppressive momentum on the other side to suddenly withdraw. After pondering for a while with a thoughtful expression, he nodded and said, “Fine, come with me！”

Saying this, he led Yang Kai to shuttle in the palace.

Not long after, they arrived in another side room. Zong Ao instructed Yang Kai to place Xue Yue on the bed, took out a brown medicinal pill and handed it to Yang Kai, saying, “Feed it to her！”

Yang Kai reached out and pried open Xue Yue’s mouth, about to throw the medicinal pill in.

Zong Ao rolled his eyes and said, “Chew it up and then feed it！ Her strength can’t be circulated now. If you don’t help her resolve the medicinal effect, how can she absorb it？”

Yang Kai stared at Zong Ao in astonishment.

Zong Ao burst into laughter with a mischievous expression on his face and said, “Embarrassed？ If you’re too embarrassed, I can step aside for a while.”

“No need.” Yang Kai shook his head, put the pill into his mouth and chewed it up, then fed it mouth to mouth into Xue Yue’s small mouth, looking calm.

He had touched and seen Xue Yue’s whole body. What was the big deal about kissing her now？

Her red lips were cold but quite soft. After feeding the pill, Yang Kai straightened up and actually had some aftertaste.

“Get out of the way!” Zong Ao unceremoniously threw Yang Kai aside and held a container in his hand. The container was full of green liquid, churning bubbles like it was boiling.

Yang Kai simply didn’t know what the green liquid was.

But seeing Zong Ao looking confident, he didn’t ask too many questions and just stood aside and waited quietly.
