Chapter 1304

Judging from the meaning in the young woman’s words, taking away Qianyue’s virginity now and then redeeming her would undoubtedly cost much less, which was the same as what Yang Kai and Qianyue had worried about before. But how could Yang Kai do such a thing？

This silent loss could only be endured with a forced smile! Yang Kai was extremely depressed in his heart.

With a cold face, he said, “I can’t accept the girl’s proposal. Let’s just assume what you said makes sense.”

Seeing his compromise, the young woman immediately laughed happily. Then she continued “Not to mention the materials consumed in cultivating Yue’er until now, just the set of dual cultivation practices that Yue’er girl practices is the secret of our Hehuan Building. Since the young master has the intention to redeem her, have you thought about how to deal with the practice that Yue’er practices? Could it be that the young master intends to buy this dual cultivation as well?

Yang Kai’s face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that he had actually overlooked this issue. However, his mind changed extremely quickly, and he immediately retorted, The girl is joking. The dual cultivation of your building is indeed remarkable, but as far as I know there are probably quite a few hidden dangers, right?

Upon hearing this, the young woman coldly glanced at Qian Yue, as if thinking that Qian Yue had revealed something.

Yang Kai said lightly, “Don’t worry. Yue’er girl didn’t tell me anything about the dual cultivation technique. But I know that there is no such convenience in the world. The dual cultivation of your building does have its unique, but there must also be hidden dangers.

The young woman’s face changed several times, and she didn’t even mean to deny it. Instead, she nodded and said, I can’t see that the young master is also a knowledgeable person. That’s right. The dual cultivation of our Hehuan Building does have hidden dangers, but this kind of thing is not a secret either. Many people know it well, and even the guests who come here also have some understanding.”

“Oh？” This time it was Yang Kai’s turn to be surprised. “I wonder if the girl would be so kind as to tell me？”

“There’s no harm in telling you. Anyway, if you go outside and inquire, you can also find out. The hidden danger is that if you can break through the bottleneck here with the help of dual cultivation, then your own cultivation level may never be able to improve again in the future, and will only stop here.”

“So that’s it！” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “Since you know there are hidden dangers, why come here to break through the bottleneck？”

“Because those guests feel that they have no hope of breaking through in this lifetime, and naturally they don’t care about any hidden dangers. If they come here, there is still a chance to make another progress and fulfill their wishes. If you were stuck at the bottleneck for dozens or hundreds of years and couldn’t make any progress, and you knew that our Hehuan Tower had the opportunity to help you break through, how would you choose？”

Yang Kai thought for a moment and said seriously： “I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation either.”

“That’s right. Even if this set of dual cultivation techniques has hidden dangers, it’s still a rare good technique. You want to redeem Yue’er, and Yue’er has cultivated this set of dual cultivation techniques. Who knows if you have ulterior motives for this set of techniques？”

“You know it well in your heart. Why use this to blackmail me？” Yang Kai snorted coldly. “I’m not stupid enough to ruin my bright future by relying on a single dual cultivation.”

The young woman chuckled: “It’s not blackmail. It’s just that I have the necessary and obligatory to remind you of this. However, if you insist on taking Yue’er away, there is also room for negotiation.”

“I’m all ears！” Yang Kai raised his brow.

“If Yue’er were to cultivate this dual cultivation technique to its deepest level, even if Young Master were to offer the greatest price, I wouldn’t dare let her go. Fortunately, Yue’er hasn’t been cultivating for long and hasn’t come into contact with the later levels of the formula, so there is room for flexibility. I have two proposals here, but I don’t know which one Young Master will choose.”

As she spoke, she looked at Yang Kai. After Yang Kai signaled for her to continue, she said indifferently, “The first proposal is very simple. As long as Young Master abolishes Yue’er’s dual cultivation technique.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Yue’s face paled, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown. Although this dual cultivation technique was forced upon Qian Yue after she came to the Hehuan Tower, she had already cultivated it. If it was really abolished, it would affect her foundation. If she was lucky, it would only damage some of her vitality and there would be a chance to recover after resting for a while. If she was unlucky, no one could say for sure what the consequences would be.

So Yang Kai immediately shook his head and said, “This method won’t work. Let’s talk about the second one.”

The young woman seemed to have expected this. She smiled when she heard this and continued, “The second one is that Young Master will have to pay a higher price.”

“In other words, you want me to buy the first few levels of the dual cultivation technique that Yue’er has cultivated, right？” Yang Kai pondered.

“That’s right. I’m also a reasonable person. Young Master won’t have any difficulties, will you？”

“This proposal is reasonable and there is nothing difficult about it.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.

The young woman’s face lit up with joy： “As expected, Young Master is straightforward. However, in this case, the price Young Master has to pay will not be small.”

“Then I wonder what price your building wants？” Yang Kai looked at her indifferently.

The young woman’s fine eyebrows furrowed, and after thinking carefully for a moment, she finally quoted a number.

Qianyue, who was standing behind Yang Kai, trembled slightly, and a hint of despair in her beautiful eyes. This number was simply something she didn’t dare to think about Based her meager understanding of the Dark Star, she also knew that such a sum of Saint Crystals was enough to buy an extremely good Void Grade secret treasure. Even if she spent her entire life, she might not be able to gather such a large amount of wealth.

Yang Kai also seemed to show a difficult look, no longer as straightforward as before stroking his chin and remaining silent in thought.

Seeing this, the young woman smiled slightly and said, “Young Master, don’t try to bargain. Since I have quoted such a number, it must be the rule in our Hehuan Tower. Therefore, it is not something that I can change at will. If Young Master can’t afford this price, please go back where you came from.”

The last sentence she said was not polite at all, as if she had already determined that Yang Kai was powerless and did not intend to stay here and waste time with him.

Yang Kai sighed slightly and said, “Such a huge sum of Saint Crystals does make me a little troubled.”

The young woman sneered and didn’t answer.

Yang Kai changed the topic and said, “I wonder if your building accepts using items as collateral？”

“Items as collateral？” The young woman raised her fine eyebrows.

“Yes, secret treasures, pills, or materials and the like.” Yang Kai replied. “However, these things are very important to me, so they are just mortgaged here. After I go back and raise enough Saint Crystals, I will come back to redeem them. After all, no one would carry such a large amount of Saint Crystals with them.”

“What you said makes some sense, but it also depends on what items you are going to mortgage. In case you just randomly throw a few things here and then never come back, wouldn’t our Happy Union Building suffer a great loss？”

“Please rest assured, girl. Since I want to mortgage, I will definitely mortgage several of my most important things and it is impossible for me not to come and claim them.” As Yang Kai said this, he gestured with great difficulty. The next moment, two jade bottles, two secret treasures, and a spatial ring appeared on the table. He pushed these things towards the young woman and said faintly, “Please check them, girl, and see if these are enough.”

The young woman looked at Yang Kai suspiciously and didn’t stand on ceremony. She directly picked up the spatial ring, released her spiritual sense to sense it. After detecting that there were some Saint Crystals inside, she put it down without a trace. Although the number of these Saint Crystals was large, it was far from enough for the price she had quoted just now.

Then she picked up one of the jade bottles, opened the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it. Her complexion changed slightly, and without hesitation, she poured out a pellet of medicinal pill from the bottle and carefully examined it in the palm of her hand. After a while, she revealed a hint of surprise： “A Void Grade Lower Rank Fire Cloud Pill, and the quality is actually so good. It should have been refined by some master alchemist？”

Yang Kai neither affirmed nor denied it, nor did he have the intention to answer her.

But the young woman’s expression was undoubtedly much more solemn than before. Because being able to obtain such a bottle of Void Grade Lower Rank medicinal pills, one must definitely have a very deep relationship with those master alchemists, and their identity is either rich or noble. So she didn’t dare to look down on Yang Kai anymore.

After all, the Que He Sect behind the Hehuan Building was just a medium-sized sect, and there was no such master sitting in the sect at all.

She then checked the other bottle of medicinal pills and found that it was also a Void Grade Lower Rank medicinal pill. This made the young woman even more certain of the guess in her heart. Just these two bottles of medicinal pills were extremely valuable and could not be bought with Saint Crystals.

And those two secret treasures were not very precious. They were both Saint King Grade Upper Rank secret treasures, but they could also be exchanged for some Saint Crystals.

“These two bottles of medicinal pills were also obtained by me with great difficulty and are of great use for my future cultivation. So I can’t possibly give up these two bottles of spiritual pills. Girl, you shouldn’t have any doubts now, right?” Yang Kai looked at the young woman with a smile.

The young woman slowly nodded, and the doubts in her heart vanished. To be honest, even an ordinary Void Return Stage powerhouse might not necessarily possess such two bottles of pills. That a Saint King 2-layer could obtain them clearly indicated extraordinary connections and means.

What she didn’t know was that these two bottles of pills were merely refined by Yang Kai himself.

Seeing that she was in deep thought, Yang Kai had no intention of disturbing her. He just quietly cast a reassuring look at Qianyue. He could also tell that this young woman had obviously been moved by the price he offered and should not make any excessive demands anymore. Once this deal was completed, he would immediately take Qianyue and leave Crow City, never to return again.

As for the pills and secret treasures handed over, how could Yang Kai care？

The reason why he didn’t use all Saint Crystals for the transaction was also due to Yang Kai’s caution. It wasn’t that he didn’t have them, but taking out so many Saint Crystals at once might attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Qianyue couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

After a long while, the young woman seemed to have made a decision. She raised her head and smiled slightly at Yang Kai. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, her expression changed. She quickly took out a communication compass and said apologetically, “Sorry, Young Master, please wait a moment more.”

Yang Kai smiled and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

The young woman then poured her spiritual thoughts into the communication compass in front of Yang Kai, seemingly communicating with someone. As the communication went on, her expression kept changing.

After a while, she put away the communication compass with a confused look on her face, and her expression when looking at Yang Kai was actually a bit awkward.

Seeing this, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
