Chapter 1097

This time, Yang Yan spent a relatively long time refining the artifacts, taking a full two months.

However, on the day she left seclusion, she brought out seven Saint King-grade secret treasures！ There were all three grades, upper, middle, and lower.

Perhaps it was because of the pills and Saint Crystals Yang Kai gave her to help with her recovery. This time, she wasn’t very tired. After handing those secret treasures to Yang Kai, she even had the mood to calculate how many Saint Crystals she still owed Yang Kai, counting very seriously with her fingers.

Great ability in refining artifacts, not very scheming, good temper, also very beautiful, and with a great figure. Most importantly, the remuneration she charged was very cheap！

Yang Kai felt that he had found a treasure and became even more determined to keep Yang Yan as his exclusive artifact refiner.

Casually giving her a few bottles of pills and some high-grade Saint Crystals, which made Yang Yan smile brightly. While putting the pills and Saint Crystals into her Space Ring, she asked, “What do you want to refine next? Give me the materials first, and I”ll see what kind of ores would be better to match.”

Yang Kai casually took out the carapace, tail, and one of the large pincers of the Crimson-tailed Purple-armored Scorpion and threw them in front of Yang Yan.

The little girl’s two eyes immediately widened, and terrifyingly sharp lights shone in her beautiful eyes. She crouched down and picked up these things one by one, caressing them with her small hands and murmuring to herself, not knowing what she was saying. She seemed a little trance.

It was a long while before she raised her head and looked at Yang Kai, asking, “You’re willing to give these things to me for refinement？”

Yang Kai nodded. “You’ve already proven your ability. I also believe that you’re e indeed a Void level refiner. Naturally, these things should be given to you.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the things and run away？” Yang Yan still couldn’t quite believe it. “These are the body materials of a 9th-order Demonic Beast, things that can be used to refine Void-level Secret Treasures！”

“Go ahead and try. See if I can catch you back.” Yang Kai grinned.

Yang Yan pouted. She just didn’t like Yang Kai’s baseless confidence. It was as if everything was under his control. How annoying!

“Don’t worry. I’m not someone who doesn’t keep my word. I’ll make the most of these things of yours. But the ores to be purchased this time are also different from before. You have to be prepared to bleed a lot！” Yang Yan corrected her expression.

“It doesn’t matter. Write the list.” Yang Kai nodded and added, “Oh, by the way, I have a request.”

“Just say whatever request you have.”

“That carapace, help me refine it into a defensive Secret Treasure. I’ll use it myself. As for the others, you can deal with them as you like.”

“I understand. Do you have the inner core of that Demonic Beast？ If you have its inner core, give it to me as well. It will be needed when refining the equipment.”

As soon as Yang Yan’s voice fell, a fist-sized inner core containing the two attributes of wind and earth was thrown over. She took it with satisfaction and then started writing. In a short while, she listed a list and handed it to Yang Kai, eagerly saying “You go and come back quickly. I will start refining after a few days of recovery. It’s really great to be by your side. There are actually so many good materials waiting for me to deal with.”

She seemed a little impatient.

In Tianyun City, in that commercial firm, Qian Tong was sitting in the room on the third floor, Youdaoplaceholder0 tea lightly and looking at the direction where Yang Kai left two months ago. There was some anxiety and helplessness between his brows.

Although he had judged before that Yang Kai would come here again, what he didn’t expect was that this wait actually lasted for two months.

Until today, that young man still hasn’t appeared again. This made Qian Tong very depressed. At that time, he was worried about leaving a bad impression on the expert behind that young man, so he didn’t send anyone to follow and didn’t dare to inquire casually. He just wanted to understand step by step and slowly draw out that expert through that young man.

Now it seems that maybe it was a bit inappropriate. At least he should have expressed to that young man his intention to recruit the expert behind him. As long as that young man is smart enough, he will definitely convey the words.

At that time, if that expert is willing, he will naturally come to Shadowmoon Palace. If not, it will not be too late for him to go and invite again.

The earlier such a weapon refiner was recruited, the earlier it would be beneficial to the Hall. If it was too late, perhaps other forces would discover him, and there would definitely be a situation of seizing him. Once the situation developed to that extent, it wouldn’t be a matter of just one or two people dying.

As he was thinking, Qian Tong’s mood became irritable. He didn’t even notice that the teacup in his hand was crushed until the scalding tea water overflowed his hand and he suddenly woke up.

Looking at the messy tabletop, Qian Tong couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He was not young anymore, and his cultivation level was not low. It seemed that there had been no disturbing things for many years. Even when fighting for his life with a powerhouse of the same level, he hadn’t been as powerless as this time.

Picking up the broken pieces of the teacup and wiping the spilled tea water, Qian Tong took a light breath to calm his impatient mood.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside. Qian Tong said unhappily, “What’s the matter？”

“Elder Qian, the youth who came to sell the secret treasure two months ago has come again.” The fellow who received Yang Kai last time outside the door replied respectfully. After waiting for a long time, there was no response. Just when he was wondering, he heard Elder Qian Tong’s excited voice from inside, “Hurry and invite him!”

As soon as the words fell, he said again, “No, no, no. I will go to welcome him personally！”

A burst of clattering sound was heard, as if the tables, chairs, benches and the teapot on the table had fallen to the ground and shattered.

The guy’s face darkened. He didn’t know what kind of background that youth had to actually make Elder Qian Tong treat him so seriously that even the furnishings in the room were knocked over.

The door of the room was opened, and Qian Tong, with a beaming face, quickly walked downstairs.

The fellow craned his neck and peeked into the room, and sure enough, as he had guessed the furniture inside had been completely wrecked and was in a mess.

On the first floor, Yang Kai was waiting somewhat impatiently.

Last time when he came, that fellow had attentive ly received him and almost served him meticulously and thoughtfully. This time he could barely be considered a regular customer, and according to the agreement last time, he had brought the secret treasure to sell. But unexpectedly, that guy actually asked him to wait for a while and then disappeared without a trace.

After waiting for a while, the fat old man named Qian Tong walked over in a hurry, with a radiant face and a hearty laugh: “Oh, young man, the old man has been waiting for two months and finally you Come, come, come in!

Saying this, he very affectionately grabbed Yang Kai’s arm and led him towards the secret room where they had traded last time.

Inside the firm, a group of warriors who were conducting transactions and were stunned staring blankly at Yang Kai’s back, unable to speak for a long time.

Many of them knew Qian Tong and knew that he was a powerful elder-level figure in the Shadowmoon Palace. But such a big shot treated Yang Kai so affectionately. Everyone couldn’t help but look surprised. After the two disappeared, they began to whisper and speculate about Yang Kai’s identity.

“What’s the origin of this guy? He actually made Elder Qian Tong come to greet him in person and treat him so warmly. It’s really strange. Even if the heads of the nearby families come, it’s not worth Elder Qian Tong’s enthusiasm, right?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen this guy before, and looking at his dress, he doesn’t look like any big shot either.”

“His cultivation level is not high either, only the Third-Order Saint Realm.”

“It’s really baffling. Last time, when the head of the Cory Family came to negotiate business in person, Elder Qian Tong didn’t show up either.”

“Who knows what’s going on.”

“……”

In the secret room, Qian Tong warmly arranged for Yang Kai to sit down and asked someone to serve fragrant tea and a fruit plate. Pointing to the few yellow and aura-rich fruits on the fruit plate, he smiled and said, “These fruits are a specialty of a family subordinate to our Shadowmoon Palace. Only the soil there on the Dark Star is suitable for the growth of that kind of fruit tree. The fruits ripen only once every ten years, and each time, less than five hundred can be harvested. Although they can’t make people quickly improve their cultivation, they taste good and can clear the heart and essence, and replenish Saint Yuan. They are most suitable for people like you who are about to break through. If you don’t mind, you might as well give them a try.”

He could tell at a glance that Yang Kai was on the verge of breaking through from the Third-Order Saint Realm to the Saint King Realm. Presumably, it wouldn’t be long before he could advance to the Saint King Realm. Taking out these fruits was exactly a perfect match.

Yang Kai took a look at him intentionally or unintentionally, and was not polite at all, nor did he have any intention of being on guard. He picked up a fruit and ate it. The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. Nodding, he said, “The taste is good. If Elder Qian doesn’t mind, I want to take these back.”

It could quickly restore Saint Yuan, which could just be used when Yang Yan was refining weapons.

A flash of sharp light flashed in Qian Tong’s eyes, and he laughed heartily, saying, “Don’t mind, don’t mind. If the young man likes it, I’ll ask someone to prepare some more. It’s just a pity that there aren’t many left.”

He didn’t care at all that Yang Kai was so cheeky as to take the spiritual fruits back, because from this move, he spied a piece of news that made him excited.

What did Yang Kai take the fruits back for？

Obviously, it was to honor the expert behind him！

This made him even more certain of his previous guess. There was indeed a powerful weapon refiner behind this young man.

“Elder Qian just said that he has been waiting for me for many days. It’s for this, right？” Yang Kai said as he took out the seven newly refined secret treasures from the Space Ring.

Qian Tong widened his eyes and stared. Every time Yang Kai took out one, his breathing became heavier.

Until all seven were taken out, Qian Tong’s expression was already a bit ferociously excited.

He could affirm that when Yang Kai came to buy ores two months ago, it was for the purpose of refining these secret treasures. And in just two months, he had refined seven Saint King-level secret treasures. It could be seen that the expert behind him was indeed worthy of his reputation！

Even if it were Master Grimm refining them, it would be very unlikely to refine so many excellent secret treasures in such a short period of time.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Tong’s expression returned to normal, and he smiled and said, “Waiting for these secret treasures is only one aspect. In fact, the old man is waiting for you. Well, may I ask what the young man’s name is？”

“Yang Kai.”

“The old man is Qian Tong. Presumably you should know. If you don’t mind, how about the old man addressing you as nephew out of respect？”

Yang Kai nodded indifferently. Qian Tong’s seniority and age were there, and being called nephew by him wasn’t too demeaning.

Qian Tong had a beaming smile： “Nephew Yang is young and promising, with a handsome appearance. At such a young age, he is already almost at the Saint King Realm level. Truly, the younger generation is formidable…”

As he spoke, he sized up Yang Kai’s reaction without leaving a trace.
