Chapter 1439

One day, if Yang Kai could successfully refine Void King Grade pills, it would mean that his Alchemy skill level had reached a peak, the peak of the Star Field！

He did have some Void King Grade materials in his hands, which were all collected when he first set foot in the Star Field and was in trouble on the Hanging Continent. Over the years, due to his insufficient Alchemy level, he had never refined them.

But no one would dislike such things, and naturally, the more the better.

Especially for a Void Grade High-Rank Alchemist to advance to the Void King Grade, it would definitely be extremely difficult, and the amount of materials consumed at that time would definitely not be small. Thinking of this, Yang Kai became even more diligent in his collection.

Time passed quickly. Although there were several patches of medicine fields in this valley and at least thousands of spiritual herbs and rare medicines were planted, with the four of them working together, the collection was also quite fast. Half a day later, Yang Kai straightened up and looked around. He found that the medicinal materials in the medicine fields here had almost been completely picked, leaving only a little bit left. The three women of Ice Heart Valley were busy over there.

With a slight smile, Yang Kai had no intention of interfering either, but stood where he was and waited.

Bored, Yang Kai looked around the valley. This place should be a hidden cave left over from tens of thousands of years ago. Since it is a hidden cave, there should be traces of human habitation. However, when everyone rushed in just now, they were attracted by the spiritual grasses and wonderful medicines in front of them and didn’t have time to check carefully for a while.

But now when Yang Kai looked over, he didn’t find any place to live here, not even a single house existed.

Could it be that…

Yang Kai’s face showed a thoughtful expression, and he looked towards the mountain wall on one side. After this careful observation, he really had some discoveries. After a while, his figure flickered and he came to the front of a smooth mountain wall.

He stretched out his hand and patted the mountain wall, and there was no abnormality at all. However, Yang Kai was not a fledgling youngster. How could he be deceived by such a trick？ He kept tapping the mountain wall with his fingers, listening to the sound coming from the inside. At the same time, his spiritual thoughts were released and probed inward.

After a short while, Yang Kai’s face lit up with joy, and without hesitation, he slapped a certain place on the mountain wall with a palm.

He didn’t use his Saint Yuan for that palm. However, when his palm slapped on that position, a rumbling sound came from the inside of the mountain wall. Immediately, a crack appeared on the smooth mountain wall, revealing a dark passage.

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and stepped in without hesitation.

The passage inside this mountain wall wasn’t very wide. It was only about three feet, barely enough for two people to walk side by side. However, it wound around in all directions, making it seem very deep and secluded.

Yang Kai walked a full mile or two into it before some faint rays of light were transmitted from ahead!

Seeing this scene, Yang Kai’s expression became serious, and his steps became even faster.

A moment later, he arrived in a stone chamber. The stone chamber wasn’t very big either, only about thirty feet in diameter. The interior was also simply furnished, with a stone table, a stone chair, and a stone bed. Other than that, there was nothing else.

However, when Yang Kai arrived here, his gaze was instantly attracted to a certain position.

Over there, there was a pill furnace about half a person’s height standing quietly on the ground. This pill furnace looked extremely simple and unadorned, and a desolatesmellemanated from within. It was obviously something that had endured for a long time, and judging from its texture, it was clearly of a high grade. It should undoubtedly be a Void King Grade pill furnace！

And beside this pill furnace. There was also a skeleton, maintaining a sitting cross-legged posture. Judging from the posture of this skeleton before death, it seemed to be pouring Saint Yuan into the pill furnace！

This person was actually still refining pills before his death！

Yang Kai instantly inferred the truth of the matter and when he thought about the many spirit herbs and wonderful medicines planted in the valley outside. This person’s identity was ready to be revealed.

Alchemist！

Only an alchemist would plant so many medicinal herbs in his cave, and judging from his posture before death, this person must have been a figure obsessed with alchemy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have still been refining pills before dying.

I just don’t know if he succeeded…

Thinking like this, Yang Kai curiously released his spiritual thoughts and swept towards the inside of the alchemy furnace. With a sweep, he found that inside the alchemy furnace, there was actually a pill being nurtured.

This person actually succeeded！ Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration. Although he didn’t know whether the owner of this cave died from exhaustion due to alchemy or because he wanted to fulfill his wish and refine some pills before dying, this spirit made Yang Kai feel inferior.

He refined pills only for the sake of cultivation, while this person, regardless of whether he was good or evil, male or female during his lifetime, had undoubtedly regarded alchemy as something more important than life, so this scene in front of him appeared.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside. Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised, and without thinking, he immediately reached out and plunged his hand into the alchemy furnace, took out that one pill, and directly threw it into a jade bottle and put it into the space ring.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and Yang Kai didn’t even have the time to take a look at what grade that pill was.

By the time he finished all this, a beautiful figure had already appeared behind him.

“Little brother, is this the cave of the owner of this place？” The young woman from Bingxin Valley arrived here, took a casual glance, and immediately asked in surprise.

“It should be.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, showing no expression on his face.

“Oh, there is a pill furnace. So, this person was actually a pill refiner during his lifetime？” The young woman’s face lit up with joy. She quickly rushed to Yang Kai’s side, carefully looked around, and found that there were no signs of being touched. Her beautiful eyes were immediately attracted by the space ring on the skeleton’s hand, and her face showed a look of eagerness.

“Madam, please！” Yang Kai observed her expression and knew exactly what she was thinking. He smiled freely and gestured with his hand.

A look of embarrassment appeared on the young woman’s face, but she didn’t decline. She nodded and said, “In that case, I won’t be polite.”

As she spoke, she secretly activated her Saint Yuan to protect her body and reached out to grab the space ring.

Surprisingly, no danger was triggered. She smoothly grabbed the space ring in her hand, swept her divine sense into it, and immediately showed a happy expression.

After a long while, she reluctantly threw the space ring to Yang Kai and said, “Little brother, you should take a look too！”

Yang Kai caught it and also released his divine sense to sweep inside. After taking back his divine sense he pondered for a moment and looked at the young woman and said, “The things inside will also be divided equally. Does Madam have any objections?”

“Hehe, since it was agreed upon beforehand, this concubine naturally has no objections.” The young woman forced a smile.

“En, in that case, let’s divide the things inside first.” Yang Kai said this and unceremoniously took out the things in the space ring.

There are quite a few Saint Crystals, approximately tens of millions, all of them top-quality goods.

Such a fortune is naturally an earth-shattering wealth for ordinary martial artists, but considering the identity of the owner of the ring before his death, it’s not a big deal. After all, alchemists have always been wealthy.

The Saint Crystals are very easy to distribute. Yang Kai and the young woman split them evenly, and it was quickly done.

However, what comes next is the main event because apart from the Saint Crystals the things in the ring are all kinds of jade bottles, large and small, there are more than a hundred of them.

Yang Kai took out the jade bottles one by one and placed them in front of him. And during the whole process, the young woman also stared at them without blinking her beautiful eyes looking as if she was afraid that Yang Kai would play any tricks.

Both of them knew without thinking what was inside the jade bottles.

Since the owner of this place was an alchemist before his death, then what was inside the jade bottles must be Saint Pills without a doubt! So when more than a hundred jade bottles were placed in front of them, the young woman’s breathing obviously became much more rapid.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Madam, although it is certain that there are pills in these bottles, after such a long time, it is still unknown how many of these pills are still useful. Maybe all of them have been scrapped. so it’s better not to have too many expectations.”

Upon hearing Yang Kai’s words, the excitement on the young woman’s face immediately subsided a lot. She slightly nodded and said, “Little brother is right. Let’s check them first.”

“Madam, please go ahead！” Yang Kai gestured with his hand.

The young woman nodded, then reached out and picked up a jade bottle in front of her, opened the cap and poured out seven or eight pills. However, when these pills came into view, the young woman couldn’t help but show a disappointed expression.

Because these seven or eight pills had all turned into something like a mud ball. Not only did they have no aroma at all, but also the medicinal efficacy inside had completely disappeared！

These pills had indeed all been scrapped.

“Bad luck!” The young woman self-mockingly ingly smiled and looked up at Yang Kai with her beautiful eyes.

Yang Kai casually grabbed a jade bottle, opened the cap, and also poured out seven or eight pills. However, as soon as these seven or eight pills appeared, both of their eyes lit up.

Because one of the pills actually exuded a pungent aroma, was fiery red in color, and had lines like the meridians of the human body on it.

Dan lines！

Only pills with dan lines could be stored for a long time and preserve their medicinal efficacy. Even if the pills without dan lines were stored properly, the medicinal efficacy would still pass with the passage of time.

Although only one of the seven or eight pills were usable, this was a very good start after all, and the grade of that pill was obviously not low. The young woman couldn’t recognize what kind of pill it was for a while.

“It’s actually the Great Harmony and Prime Yuan Pill！” Yang Kai also raised his brows, revealing a look of surprise.

“What？” The young woman’s complexion changed slightly. “Little brother, you didn’t misidentify it. This is the Great Harmony and Prime Yuan Pill？”

She clearly had heard the name of this kind of pill before.

“Yes, I won’t misidentify it. Because I myself am also a pill refiner, and I know a little more about pills than ordinary people. This is indeed the Great Harmony and Prime Yuan Pill without a doubt！” Yang Kai casually explained.

The young woman looked Yang Kai up and down and said in surprise： “I’m blind. I didn’t recognize that little brother is actually a pill refiner. For the many offenses before, please don’t blame me, little brother.”

After learning that Yang Kai was a pill refiner, the young woman’s attitude towards Yang Kai obviously changed a bit. After all, the status of a pill refiner is much higher than that of an ordinary martial artist.

“Hehe, Madam is too serious. I refine pills just out of interest. I’m not proficient. I just have a little.” Yang Kai was modest.
