Chapter 1153
by“Spot？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows and looked at Qian Tong, asking, “Is there a limit to the number of people entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field？”
“This is precisely what the old man wants to tell you.” Qian Tong nodded. “Actually, when the Flowing Flame Sand Field was first opened, there was no limit to the number of people. But as you know, the cultivation resources on the Dark Star are scarce. The better and more advanced something is, the fewer the quantity. As one of the three forbidden areas, there are naturally no shortage of good things in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. All the major forces are eyeing that place covetously. So here comes the problem. A long time ago, when the Flowing Flame Sand Field was opened, all the Saint King Realm warriors who were eligible to enter went in all at once. With so many people, the harvest for each person was small, and the natural treasures growing inside were also collected without restraint, resulting in the next time the Flowing Flame Sand Field was opened, the people who went in had no harvest.”
“Excessive mining will indeed cause such a result！” Yang Kai nodded.
“Nephew is right. Therefore, the major forces on Dark Star have joined forces to formulate some restrictions on the Flowing Flame Sand Field. That is, the number of people each force can enter cannot be too many. For example, the three top forces like the Star Emperor Sect, the Battle Heaven League, and the Thunder Platform Sect can send sixty people in. Second-rate forces like my Shadow Moon Palace can send fifty people in. For even weaker forces, the number of people they can send in will be even less. For those small families and small forces, they may only be able to send in two or three people. On the one hand, this is to reduce the losses of Saint King Realm martial artists on Dark Star. On the other hand, it is also to maintain the number of natural treasures in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. Over thousands of years, the major forces have been very self-conscious. Every time the Flowing Flame Sand Field opens, they will select people to enter according to this quota allocation plan. Therefore, there is a restriction on the number of people.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
Qian Tong continued, “Even so, every time the Flowing Flame Sand Field opens, no less than ten thousand people will enter it！ However, the Flowing Flame Sand Field is very, very large. No one knows exactly how big it is. So even if ten thousand people enter it, it doesn’t matter.”
When Qian Tong said this, Yang Kai immediately understood the meaning of his previous words.
If he wanted to enter, he would really have to take up one of the Shadow Moon Palace’s quotas. However, the Shadow Moon Palace could send in fifty people, and it could afford to spare just one quota.
“Moreover, to enter the Flowing Flame Sandy Land, it’s not possible from just anywhere. Only through some special positions. This forbidden area of the Flowing Flame Sandy Land is very strange. We once suspected that it was a huge formation set up by a certain great power in ancient times, but we have never been able to find a way to break the formation. When the power of its hot flames weakens, some weak links similar to formation gates will appear in different positions. People who enter it must pass through these weak links to truly enter the Flowing Flame Sandy Land, otherwise, it’s impossible to get in.”
Yang Kai listened to his words and immediately understood that he had thought the problem too simply.
Entering the Flowing Flame Sandy Land requires a quota, and it also requires special time and passing through special places. It’s not like what he thought before. Once the Flowing Flame Sandy Land opens, you can just enter it casually.
With this thought in mind, Yang Kai quickly said, “Senior, if junior wants to enter the Flowing Flame Sandy Land, I still need to trouble senior to take more care.”
Qian Tong laughed loudly： “Nephew, you’re being too polite. If I regarded you as an outsider, this old man wouldn’t have told you so much today. Since you have the intention to enter it, then leave the other matters to this old man. I will definitely make you satisfied.”
He was just afraid that Yang Kai wouldn’t ask him for help. Although Qian Tong felt that he was also sincere towards Yang Kai and really wanted to be a friend of him, he was just afraid that the other party wouldn’t appreciate it. Young people, after all, are arrogant and it’s very normal not to pay attention to them old men.
Now that Yang Kai had a request for him, he was naturally happy.
Changing the subject, Qian Tong said, “However, nephew, if you want to enter that place, you must make full preparations.”
“I wonder what preparations are needed？” Yang Kai asked humbly.
“Definitely need to refine some secret treasures that can resist the heat. If you don’t have suitable secret treasures, I can provide you with some body materials of ice-attribute monsters. The secret treasures refined with these materials are most suitable for use in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. I have also prepared a lot of materials, so there is no need to worry about not having enough.”
Yang Kai was just about to refuse when his heart suddenly moved, and he asked thoughtfully, “Brother Wei and Miss Dong are also going to the Flowing Flame Sand Field, right？”
Qian Tong nodded and said, “Naturally. Although that place is dangerous, they are after all two of the most outstanding disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace. How can they grow without experiencing some hardships？”
“Then the secret treasures of the two of them…”
Qian Tong smiled awkwardly and said, “Some have been acquired, but most of them are top-grade Saint King-level. I don’t know how much effect they can have. Alas, our Shadow Moon Palace originally had a Void level refiner, but he is too old and can no longer refine weapons.
Yang Kai raised his brows and said, “If senior trusts me, you might as well give me those body materials of ice-attribute monsters. I will send two Void-level secret treasures to them for self-defense in a few days！”
Qian Tong had already determined that there was a Void Grade smelter behind Yang Kai and Yang Kai didn’t need to hide it either. Moreover, he had just deliberately said that he had collected a lot of materials, which obviously meant that he wanted to ask his non-existent master to refine treasures. Qian Tong had helped him a lot these days and also provided him with the quota to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field and various information. Yang Kai didn’t mind repaying him.
People respect me a foot, and I respect them a zhang.
Sure enough, seeing that Yang Kai was so smart, Qian Tong was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m one hundred percent relieved. Hahaha, then I’ll trouble, dear nephew.
He had just been thinking about what to do if Yang Kai couldn’t understand the meaning behind his words. For the future of the Shadow Moon Palace, he could only put aside his old face and ask directly. Unexpectedly, he only said it indirectly, and Yang Kai actually understood.
As he spoke, Qian Tong directly took out a spatial ring and handed it to Yang Kai.
He had already prepared the materials and was just waiting for this moment to come. Moreover, before that, he had deliberately brought Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er over. On the one hand, it was to let them meet Yang Kai, and on the other hand, it was also to take this opportunity to ask Yang Kai to help refine treasures.
Unfortunately, those two people didn’t have much vision and wasted Qian Tong’s painstaking efforts.
Yang Kai took it and took a casual look. He found a large number of monster beast body materials exuding a cold aura in the ring. Moreover, judging from the intensity of that aura, they were definitely ninth-order monster beasts, and even the inner elixirs of the monster beasts were there.
On You’an Star, there is no shortage of raw materials for refining pills and weapons, only a shortage of high-level pill refiners and weapon refiners.
So many materials are enough to refine four or five secret treasures.
“Nephew, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’m extremely grateful.”
“Senior has helped me a great deal. There’s no need to be polite. If there’s anything else needed in the future, just give orders directly.”
Qian Tong nodded repeatedly. Although what Yang Kai said was polite words, it was comfortable to hear.
“By the way, senior, when will the Flowing Flame Sand Land open?” Yang Kai finally asked about the business.
Qian Tong pondered for a moment： “It’s hard to say about this kind of thing. It may take one or two months, or three or four months. It depends on when the power of that hot flame weakens. But don’t worry, there are experts from various forces observing day and night around the Flowing Flame Sand Land. Once it can be entered, we will get the news immediately. It’s not too late to set off at that time. You should take advantage of this time to recharge your energy. Once I get the news, I will definitely notify you immediately.”
As Qian Tong spoke, he handed a communication compass to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai took it and casually threw it into the space ring.
At this time, there was another knock on the door from outside. Wu Yi walked over and opened the door, only to see Luo Qing walking in submissively, with a cautious expression on his face.
Qian Tong smiled and said, “It must be that old bastard Yan Pei who asked Luo Qing to deliver the Saint Crystals.”
Yang Kai’s spirit was shaken, and both Wu Yi and Yang Yan’s beautiful eyes shone brightly.
At the auction, four items were sent over from their side, and each one was sold at a high price. It was not until now that the Saint Crystals were settled. Yang Kai was waiting here, on the one hand to wait for Qian Tong, and on the other hand to wait for these earnings.
Thinking of the hundreds of millions of Saint Crystals, even Yang Kai couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.
Luo Qing stepped forward, respectfully placed a spatial ring on the table, and said, Manager Yan said that there should originally be 106,500,045 Saint Crystals, but because the auction amount is huge the fraction has been rounded up, and there are a total of 107 million Saint Crystals. Brother Yang, please check.”
“107 million…” Yang Kai frowned. This number was a bit off.
Qian Tong thought for a while and smiled and explained, “The auction of the Jubao Building will charge a handling fee for the auction items. Generally speaking, it is 10% of the auction income. That is to say, for 100 million Saint Crystals, they will extract 10 million.”
“So dark!” Wu Yi and Yang Yan both let out a cute cry. Just like that, 10 million was gone, and they were so concerned that they were about to die.
Qian Tong continued, “However, it seems that Yan Pei only charged 0.5%. He still has a conscience. Probably he also wants to cooperate with you more in the future, so he is willing to give you a good deal.”
Yang Kai smiled and shook his head. “There won’t be so many good things in the future. That Ningxu Pill was accidentally obtained by my master before. There is only one. However, senior, why did they fight so crazily for the Ningxu Pill with Dan lines？”
Seeing Yang Kai’s puzzled look, Qian Tong laughed and said, “This question was also asked by Gu Chang and Xuan’er before.”
Immediately, he explained the reason. Only then did Yang Kai understand that it was not those people who were crazy, but their pursuit of the Void King Realm was too persistent, so they didn’t care about paying those Saint Crystals.
Knowing this, Yang Kai felt relieved.
The Ningxu Pill with Dan lines could be refined at any time with his alchemy skills, but now there is one main medicine missing for refining the Ningxu Pill.
In his Black Book Space, there are countless natural treasures, thousands of Void-level medicinal materials, and also two or three hundred Void King-level medicinal materials. But there are only two essential Cui Luo Herbs for refining the Ningxu Pill, and they have been used up. So before getting the Cui Luo Herbs, Yang Kai couldn’t refine the Ningxu Pill and naturally wouldn’t have the opportunity to cooperate with the Jubaolou anymore.
Moreover, now that he has hundreds of millions of wealth, he doesn’t need to sell anything anymore. Hundreds of millions of Saint Crystals, even the Yingyue Palace can’t take them out.
