Chapter 1254
byYang Kai had heard that there were people who could recognize a woman by her fragrance, but he had never heard that someone could smell the medicinal herb and pill fragrances on others. Moreover, what Dai Yuan said just now was indeed completely correct. More than half a year ago, he really had refined Void Condensing Pills and Blood Lily Pills. Of course, there were also some other pills. He didn’t know if it was because the pill fragrance had dissipated due to the long time or if Dai Yuan hadn’t smelled it or didn’t mention it.
This special ability really surprised Yang Kai greatly.
“Of course, based on this alone, I couldn’t determine that Junior Brother Yang is a Void-level alchemist. It’s also possible that there is such a master here, and Junior Brother Yang has been influenced by him and thus stained with the fragrance of pills. However… Dai Yuan smiled mysteriously. “Since I came here a month ago, I found that there doesn’t seem to be such a master here. Moreover, last time you gave some healing pills to several disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace and me in the Flowing Flame Sand Field. Those pills were clearly just refined soon. So I boldly guessed that Junior Brother Yang is the one who refined the pills, and each of those pills has an extraordinary quality. The person who refined them is obviously not of a low level.”
This time, Yang Kai didn’t deny it anymore.
Since Dai Yuan has such a strange ability, even if he denied it, it would be useless. However, at the same time, he also secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, probably only Dai Yuan has this kind of ability. Others are impossible to infer from this information that Yang Kai is a Void-level alchemist.
And Dai Yuan also seems to be a trustworthy person. Yang Kai is not worried that she will betray him.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai felt slightly at ease and smiled warmly： “Miss Dai Yuan wants to confirm my identity as an alchemist first. Could it be that you want me to help you refine pills？”
He could only make such a guess, and if this was really the case, then everything could be explained.
Who knew that Dai Yuan would slowly shake her head： “It’s not about refining pills, but it is indeed related to alchemy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here.”
Yang Kai smiled faintly： “Although I don’t know what you want me to do, there should be more than just me who can help you on You’an Star. To be honest with Miss Dai Yuan, I’m just a Void Grade Lower Rank Alchemist at the moment. Seeing that your status in the Colored Glass Sect seems to be not low, isn’t there a Void Grade Alchemist in the Colored Glass Sect？ And even if the Colored Glass Sect doesn’t have one, can’t you ask those masters from the Medicine Pill Sect to take action？ Every one of them has an attainment in alchemy that I can’t compare to.”
Last time, Yang Kai also learned that there are actually five Void-level alchemists in the Medicine Pill Sect. Each of them is highly respected. Moreover, the Glazed Sect is such a large sect that it is impossible not to have an alchemist of this level. There should be at least one.
But she actually went the extra mile and came to Dragon Cave Mountain to look for him, which made Yang Kai feel very strange.
“If it were possible, why would I come to make things difficult for Junior Brother Yang？” A bitter smile appeared on Dai Yuan’s face. “There is indeed a Master Xiao in the sect, and he is indeed a Void-level alchemist, but Dai Yuan really has some rather compelling difficulties and is not convenient to ask Master Xiao to make a move.”
“Master Xiao…” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, and a kind face emerged in his mind. He recalled Xiao Fusheng in the Medicine King Valley back then. He didn’t expect that this alchemist of the Colored Glass Sect was also surnamed Xiao.
“As for the several predecessors in the Medicine Pill Sect…” Dai Yuan’s fine eyebrows furrowed tightly. “Four of them, for the same reason as Master Xiao, I’m not convenient to ask them. The last one is indeed a suitable candidate, but unfortunately the price to pay is too high, and I don’t have the ability to do so.”
Yang Kai looked at her in surprise.
This woman’s strength and realm were not low, and her methods were not bad. He originally thought that she must be highly regarded and cultivated in the Glazed Sect. However, from her words, Yang Kai smelled a hint of abnormal atmosphere.
It seems that she is not as he thought, getting whatever she wants in the Glazed Sect.
Then think about the situation in the valley on the third floor of the Flowing Flame Sand Field. When waiting for the Red Candle Fruit to mature, several nearby Glazed Sect disciples clearly saw Dai Yuan, but did not greet her in a strange situation. And from beginning to end, she was acting alone, and there were no other Glazed Sect disciples accompanying her. The treatment she received was completely different from that of Yin Sudie… Yang Kai suddenly felt that he understood something.
“So, the only one I can turn to is you, Junior Brother Yang.” Dai Yuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Yang Kai eagerly. Her star-like eyes revealed a pleading look.
Yang Kai’s heart moved. After pondering for a while, he said, “Can you tell me specifically what you want me to do for you？”
Dai Yuan bit her red lip and said awkwardly, “Before Junior Brother Yang agrees, it’s really inconvenient for me to tell.”
Yang Kai’s face sank and he became a little displeased. This woman came to ask him for help but was evasive. Even though Yang Kai had a good impression of her, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to agree to such a thing.
Just as he was about to refuse, Dai Yuan hurriedly said, “But I can guarantee that it’s definitely something within Junior Brother Yang’s ability, and it won’t take you too much time and energy. If everything goes smoothly, it only takes three days. After it’s done, Dai Yuan will definitely have a heavy reward.”
Yang Kai naturally didn’t care about the so-called heavy reward she said. Since Dai Yuan didn’t have the ability to invite the elders of the Medicine and Pill Sect to take action, what good things could she give？ But if it only took three days and didn’t require much effort, it could be considered.
“But…” Dai Yuan looked at Yang Kai, as if she didn’t have much confidence to convince him, and said in a weak tone “If Junior Brother Yang agrees, you must go back to the Glazed Sect with me.”
Yang Kai raised his eyes and looked at her. Dai Yuan remained silent, just gently biting her thin lip, waiting for Yang Kai’s answer.
A moment later, Yang Kai smiled faintly and said, “Let me consider this matter. The scenery here in Dragon Cave Mountain is not bad. If Miss Dai Yuan is idle and bored, you can walk around at will. As for the matter you mentioned, I will give you a reply three days later.”
Dai Yuan’s eyes dimmed. She knew that Yang Kai not directly rejecting her was already giving her face. The evasive meaning in his tone was so obvious that how could Dai Yuan not hear it？
The other party said to give a reply three days later, but I’m afraid it will be an empty wait after three days.
Sighing, although full of disappointment, Dai Yuan still forced a smile and said, “Then Dai Yuan will wait for good news from Younger Brother Yang.”
Immediately, Yang Kai bid farewell to her and left the attic.
After Yang Kai left, Dai Yuan turned around and walked up to the second floor, with a worried look between her brows. How could she not know that she was making things difficult for others this time? Since she came to ask for help from others, of course, she should make things clear, but there are some things that are really hard to say, which really makes her feel embarrassed.
She originally thought of leaving quietly right away, so as not to make Yang Kai embarrassed and herself embarrassed when rejected three days later, but somehow, Dai Yuan still stayed and decided to wait for three days.
Perhaps it was because there was still that last trace of anticipation in her heart that was playing tricks.
Yang Kai left the attic and walked back with a gloomy face. It was only because Dai Yuan had made this request that Yang Kai didn’t embarrass her on the spot. If it were someone else, Yang Kai wouldn’t even bother to say polite words.
When he returned to the original attic, to Yang Kai’s surprise, Yang Yan and Wu Yi hadn’t left yet. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for him to come back. Standing at the door of the attic, they were as beautiful as a beautiful scenery line.
Yang Kai thought these two women would gossip, but unexpectedly, they didn’t ask anything. They just watched him pass by between them.
After entering the attic, Yang Yan and Wu Yi also followed in. Then, Yang Yan took out a token from nowhere. This token was exactly the same as the one she gave to Yang Kai. After slightly injecting Saint Yuan into it, a ray of light shot out from the token. The next moment, the entire attic seemed to be wrapped by an invisible barrier, which is not only that isolates the transmission of sound and sight but even the divine sense was suppressed in it.
“What are you doing？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
Yang Yan, however, walked over with a smile on her face, sat on the chair next to him, and after exchanging a glance with Wu Yi, she asked, “Aren’t you going to agree to her？”
Yang Kai’s expression became even more astonished. He looked at Yang Yan, then at Wu Yi. After noticing the flickering in the eyes of the two women, he immediately understood： “You were eavesdropping？”
Wu Yi’s face flushed, and she didn’t defend herself, obviously acquiescing.
Yang Yan, however, acted as if nothing had happened and said frankly： “What do you mean by eavesdropping? I was just testing the power of a newly researched formation.”
“What formation has such an effect？” Yang Kai was extremely surprised.
When he was talking to Dai Yuan just now, he didn’t notice any trace of being eavesdropped on. Unexpectedly, the conversation over there had been completely known here. The formation arranged by Yang Yan was simply a bit too incredible.
“It’s useless to tell you. Just use this.” Yang Yan flipped her small hand and took out a palm-sized, Disc-shaped thing. The disc was black. and it was not known what material it was refined from. But when Yang Kai’s spiritual thoughts swept over it, he couldn’t help but let out a light eh (surprised sound). He actually heard Dai Yuan’s soft sigh from this disc.
However, except for the sound, there was no other reaction. Presumably, this disc, with (cooperating with) the formation of the attic, was used to monitor the sound.
I really don’t know when Yang Yan arranged it. She was probably already arranged long ago, just waiting for the foreign guests to live in, and then she could test the effect of the formation.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s complexion changed, and he stared at Yang Yan and said, “There isn’t such a thing in my Stone Mansion, right？”
“No！” Yang Yan denied it flatly, shaking her small head like a rattle. “How could I set it up there.”
“Hmm.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. Suddenly, his complexion turned stern and he rebuked, “What a disgrace！ Don’t do this kind of underhanded thing again. If it is discovered by others, I see how you will end up！”
Yang Yan and Wu Yi looked at each other and couldn’t help but stick out their fragrant tongues.
Yang Kai’s tone changed, and he said again, “But since you have eavesdropped, you should understand that I won’t agree to this kind of thing. Why do you look as if you have a different opinion?”
