Chapter 1118
by“If you mind, I can take them away！” Seeing that Yang Kai didn’t say anything, Wu Yi thought he was unhappy and quickly said with a red lip bitten.
“Where can you take them？” Yang Kai smiled. “Since they’re here, then let them stay. Moreover, this place was originally yours.”
“But I have already given it to you.” Wu Yi had a look of shame on her face. “Since it’s given to you, then this place is yours.”
“Don’t think too much about it. The fact that you have so many people following you is your own ability.” Yang Kai smiled slightly. “Anyway, there are still many stone chambers in the cave. It doesn’t matter if there are more people coming.”
“Thank you！” Wu Yi said gratefully.
Yang Kai shook his head and said sincerely, “It is I who should thank you.”
If it weren’t for Wu Yi giving Longxue Mountain to him to live in, he wouldn’t have discovered the ethereal crystal here. Although it’s not convenient to talk about it for the time being, Yang Kai has remembered such a great favor. Not to mention leaving these dozens of people who followed Wu Yi, even if Wu Yi encountered greater troubles, he would also stand up for her.
“You two stop thanking each other.” The voice of Yang Yan came. Yang Kai turned his head and saw her walking over wearily from the side. Although her expression was haggard, her beautiful eyes were full of excitement. She casually threw a thing to Yang Kai and said, “This secret treasure is not bad. See if you want to refine it. If you don’t refine it, sell it. We are so poor now.”
Yang Kai took it, swept it with his spiritual sense, and found that it was Xu Zhishen’s Hundred Peaks Map. He immediately threw it into his space ring and said, “This thing won’t be sold.”
In the battle with Xu Zhishen, he seized two secret treasures from him, one was the Youying Soul Silk and the other was the Baiyue Map. Yang Kai hadn’t had time to carefully examine them, but he knew that the Baiyue Map was indeed a good thing. Just by sacrificing the illusions of six mountain peaks, Xu Zhishen had such power. If it was refined and more mountain peak illusions were sacrificed, the power would only be stronger.
At that time, when a hundred peaks emerged together, perhaps even a Void Return Stage cultivator couldn’t stop it. Yang Kai had never really paid much attention to offensive secret treasures, but he really liked a secret treasure like the Baiyue Map.
“Then give me Saint Crystals！” Yang Yan simply stretched out her small hand.
“Didn’t we buy materials worth fifty thousand Saint Crystals last time？ And they were all top-quality Saint Crystals. Have they all been used up？” Yang Kai looked at Yang Yan in surprise. This woman was a good hand at making money, but also a good hand at squandering it.
Do you think it’s easy to arrange a large formation? Those materials were only enough to set the formation. Now that so many people have come a small spirit gathering formation has to be rearranged in each person’s stone chamber. Every day when they cultivate they consume quite a few Saint Crystals.”
Wu Yi waved her hand aside and said, There’s no need to arrange these. They don’t enjoy such treatment when they were in the family before The spiritual energy in Dragon’s Cave Mountain is not bad now.”
Last time when Yang Kai advanced, the spiritual energy within a radius of thirty miles around the cave was wiped out. Half a month has passed, and now it has recovered a little. At least the faint spiritual energy mist can be seen on those mountain peaks again.
“Don’t be polite with him. His wealth is beyond your imagination.” Yang Yan leaned close to Wu Yi’s ear and said softly.
She was the only one who knew that Yang Kai had countless Void Spirit Crystals, and of course she knew that Yang Kai couldn’t possibly worry about Saint Crystals.
Yang Kai shook his head. He took out all the remaining tens of thousands of top-grade Saint Crystals, middle-grade Saint Crystals, and low-grade Saint Crystals from the ring, leaving only over a thousand for himself as backup.
“Wu Yi will be the accountant of our Dragon Cave Mountain from now on. She will manage the money and such. I have to set up the formation and don’t have that much time. I will tell you if I need to buy anything. If you run out of Saint Crystals, just tell Yang Kai and he will get them.” Yang Yan stuffed the spatial ring filled with countless Saint Crystals into Wu Yi’s hands.
“Huh？” Wu Yi was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect that Yang Yan would ask Yang Kai for Saint Crystals just to give them to herself. But soon, she understood. Yang Yan clearly wanted to find something for her to do, so as not to let her think too much and disturb her mind. Thinking of this, she was suddenly moved. She didn’t decline either and said solemnly, “Don’t worry. Every Saint Crystal that comes into my hands will have a clear destination！”
Wu Yi originally had the intention of taking charge of the Hecker Family and had managed some matters for the family over the years. Now, managing just over forty people was naturally a piece of cake for her.
Yang Kai’s eyes rolled and he also understood Yang Yan’s intention. He quietly gave her a thumbs up.
Yang Yan chuckled. “My defensive great formation is almost complete. But Yang Kai, you really have to go and raise more Saint Crystals. If you want to defend this thousand-mile radius firmly, the current formation alone won’t do. The current formation can only protect a ten-mile radius around this cave.”
Yang Kai naturally understood the profound meaning in her words. The ethereal crystal vein was of great importance. The stone golems had been mining for so many days and were still continuously mining. No one knew how astonishing the reserves beneath were. In any case, he had to defend this place.
Moreover, Yang Kai himself also intended to stay here and use this place as a springboard to build his reputation.
He nodded and said, “Don’t worry about the Saint Crystals. I’ll figure out a way.”
Yang Yan looked at him with some worry. “Be careful in everything.”
She thought that if Yang Kai was really forced to do so, he would go and sell the ethereal crystals. Little did she know that Yang Kai didn’t have this idea at all.
“Oh right, Yang Kai, Elder Ba from the clan has come over every day for the past few days, saying that he has something to discuss with you. But you’ve been in seclusion and haven’t been able to meet him. He came again today and is still outside.” Wu Yi looked at Yang Kai somewhat nervously.
“That Ba Qingyan？ What’s your opinion？” Yang Kai looked at her. “If you want me to meet him, I’ll meet him. If you don’t want to, I’ll send him away right now.”
“I don’t know.” Wu Yi shook her head, clenching her fists tightly, with a look of struggle on her face.
“Then let me ask you, do you still want to return to the Heike Clan？”
“No way！” This time, Wu Yi didn’t hesitate at all and shook her head resolutely. With a self-deprecating smile, she said, “Before, I thought that although the family was weak, we all had a common goal. Even if we had to sacrifice our lives for this goal, it didn’t matter. But now… I really don’t want to go back. My parents have long since passed away. The family has the kindness of raising me, but I have also contributed a lot to the family over the years. Even if I haven’t paid it off completely, it’s almost there.”
“I see. I’ll go and meet him, make things clear, and tell him not to bother you guys in the future.”
“Yes！” Wu Yi nodded slightly.
Ba Qingyan had come for four consecutive days. He knew that Yang Kai was in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, so he had been waiting. When he felt that it was almost time, he came to Longxue Mountain. Unexpectedly, every time he came, he couldn’t see Yang Kai. He didn’t dare to act too arrogantly and could only wait patiently. Every day, seeing the disciples of his own family coming in and out here, he didn’t know what it was like in his heart.
Until today, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the cave. Ba Qingyan’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately recognized this person as the young man who had killed Xu Zhishen that day. With a big laugh, he clasped his fists and said, “Congratulations to Young Friend Yang congratulations to Young Friend Yang. Young Friend Yang’s aura is deep and long. It seems that this time’s seclusion has been very rewarding. Young Friend has extraordinary talent and has actually stabilized his cultivation in such a short time. This old man admires it!
Yang Kai glanced at him indifferently, knowing that his subtext was to talk about the Saint King Pill.
Ordinary people indeed wouldn’t be able to stabilize their cultivation in such a short time, but taking a pill can shorten this process. Although Ba Qingyan didn’t mention the three words ‘Holy King Pill’, he felt that Yang Kai should be well aware of it.
Who would have known that Yang Kai simply wasn’t willing to pay attention to him. Not to mention that he didn’t take the Holy King Pill, even if he did, so what？ A mere mid-grade Holy King level pill, couldn’t he afford to buy it？
“Just say what you have to say. Considering that you were once an elder of Wu Yi’s family, I’ll give you thirty breaths of time. After that, I won’t wait！”
Ba Qingyan was almost choked to death by Yang Kai’s words！
He didn’t expect that Yang Kai wouldn’t even bother to say the polite words like inviting him in to sit down. For a moment, he was at a loss and couldn’t save face, and couldn’t help but have a feeling of his hot face sticking to someone else’s cold butt. His old face turned red. If it wasn’t’d for the fear that he couldn’t beat Yang Kai, he might have an outburst on the spot.
After all, he was an old man who had become a spirit and had good self-control. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a dry smile： “The earth-shattering battle half a month ago really opened my eyes. I never thought before that there would be such a person with extraordinary combat power like Young Friend Yang in this world. Young Friend’s talent is probably no less than that of Wei Guchang of the Shadow Moon Palace, Qu Changfeng of the Battle Heaven Alliance, and Fang Tianzhong of the Thunder Terrace Sect…”
Yang Kai looked at him coldly and didn’t interrupt his words. After he finished speaking, he said expressionlessly： “You still have twenty breaths.”
Ba Qingyan’s face twitched a few times. This Yang Kai was simply impervious to persuasion. He had lowered his old face to praise him, but he didn’t even show a little bit of humility. Even if he didn’t show humility, he should at least show the pride and complacency of a young man. It wasn’t easy for him to flatter like this. At his age, he still had to do such a thing, and he was even disgusted with himself.
People said that when a young man achieved success, he would be arrogant and unbridled, but now it seemed that it wasn’t the case – he was simply outrageously rampant.
It seemed that he had somewhat figured out Yang Kai’s temper. Ba Qingyan’s expression immediately became serious, and without any further ado, he directly said, “My Heike Family intends to marry several of the unmarried maidens in the family to you, little friend. I wonder if you have been married？”
“Not interested！” Yang Kai still had a cold face.
“Uh… little friend, the thing is, you killed Xu Zhishen of the Xu Family and robbed him of his Hundred Peaks Map. The Xu Family will never let this go easily. My Heike Family is willing to take on this trouble for you. As long as you can live in my family, my family is willing to hire you as a family and enjoy the treatment of a!
“Not interested！”
“Little friend, please listen to me finish.” Ba Qingyan secretly complains in his heart thinking about what kind of errand he had taken on. He had never met anyone as difficult to deal with as Yang Kai. No matter how much you talked, he would just say three words – not interested.
“Little friend, you have offended the Xu family by killing Xu Zhishen. The next time the Xu family sends people, it won’t be just one or two people. For the Hundred Mountains Map, they may mobilize all their forces. Without the protection of my Heike family, how can your tiny mountain stronghold resist? Even if you’re not afraid of them, what about that girl beside you? You should understand the principle that when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer. Now is not the time to be impulsive. If you want to protect yourself and that girl, my Heike family is willing to do its part！”
