Chapter 1462

Seeing Yang Kai and Huang Juan asking and answering questions, seemingly very familiar with each other, the shopkeeper of the drugstore couldn’t help but show a hint of impatience. He subconsciously thought that the person who knew someone as down and out as Huang Juan must not be a wealthy guy either.

Moreover, Yang Kai had just come out of the Emperor’s Garden, experienced several great battles, and then flew all the way from the outer sea to Linhai City. He looked really bad.

Immediately, his face sank, and he lost the previous flattery and obsequiousness. He said in a deep voice, “If the two of you want to catch up, can you not stand here and hinder the business of this small shop? Find a place at will, and you can talk for as long as you want.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Kai casually glanced at him. Knowing that this fellow had some intention of looking down on people with a dog’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry in his heart and snorted coldly, “How many Saint Crystals is a Bailing Pill？”

“What？ Do you want to buy it？” The shopkeeper surnamed Cheng looked Yang Kai up and down, with a suspicious look on his face.

“What？ Can’t I buy it？”

“Of course you can, but this shop is a small business. Cash on delivery…”

Before the shopkeeper surnamed Cheng finished speaking, he saw a cloth bag flying towards him. He quickly caught it and probed it with his spiritual sense. The expression on his face immediately did a 180-degree turn, and he said with a smile, “Okay, okay, please wait a moment, guest.”

Saying this, he quickly took out a Bailing Pill and handed it to Yang Kai.

After taking the Bailing Pill, Yang Kai didn’t mean to entangle with him. The other party was just a martial artist in the Saint Realm. Although his character was not so good, it was really beneath his dignity to argue with him. He just instructed Huang Juan, “Come with me.”

“Oh.” Huang Juan replied dully. With a heart in her throat, she followed Yang Kai all the way.

Soon, under the leadership of Yang Kai, the two entered an inn and asked for a wing room. Yang Kai gave the Bailing Pill to Huang Juan and asked her to sit cross-legged and adjust her breath.

After a day and a night, Huang Juan returned to her original state.

Although the Hundred Spirit Pill is not a very high-grade pill. It is only at the lower level of the Saint King rank, but as a detoxification elixir, its medicinal effect is still good. The poison that Huang Juan was poisoned by was not strong in the first place. It was just that the time was a bit long. Once the elixir entered her abdomen and she adjusted her breath like this, she was immediately cured and there was no more worry.

When she opened her eyes again. This woman thanked Yang Kai with a somewhat complicated expression： “This concubine thanks Sect Master Yang for the grace of rescue. This kindness and virtue will never be forgotten.”

As she spoke, she was already a little choked up. If it weren’t for the coincidence of meeting Yang Kai this time, she didn’t know what kind of end she would have. It was impossible to fall, but being constantly entangled by that toxin, her own strength would definitely be affected, and even her realm would fall. This is an unacceptable consequence for any warrior.

“It’s just a small matter.” Yang Kai said indifferently waved his hand “But it seems that Huang Gongfeng has not had a good time these years.”

When Huang Juan heard this, she stroked the broken hair beside her ear and smiled bitterly： “It’s more than not good. In fact, it’s extremely difficult.”

After she left the Hake family, she realized how difficult it was to practice alone in this world. At the beginning, she didn’t notice much. After all, she had been a worshiper in the Hake family for so many years and had a little savings.

But when her savings were used up, the nightmare began.

No backer, no background. Everything has to rely on oneself, and she is still a woman. Although not young, she still has some good looks. She is often coveted by those with malicious intentions and has faced dangerous situations several times.

She also wants to find another sect or some family to join, but few people will want a martial artist like her with unknown origin.

Under no choice, she can only look for some martial artists like her in Linhai City and go to the outer sea in groups to hunt sea beasts for a living. But such things also come with great risks. Huang Juan has witnessed many martial artists die miserably in the outer sea in recent years, and the team she followed has also changed one after another. Fortunately, she herself has good luck and can escape from death every time.

Until one time when she encountered a sea beast and was accidentally poisoned, and no one was willing to act with her anymore. In order to remove the poison in her body Huang Juan has sold all her property, but unfortunately, she still can’t gather enough holy crystals for a single Hundred Spirit Pill. She has gone to that pharmacy several times and pleaded bitterly every time, but that shopkeeper surnamed Cheng just refuses to make an exception.

Until today when she met Yang Kai.

After listening to her story, Yang Kai nodded slightly and after pondering for a while, suddenly said： “Have you ever thought about going back？”

“Go back？” Huang Juan’s expression was stunned, a hint of reminiscence appeared on her face, and she shook her head with a bitter smile. “I can’t go back. I have already left the Hake family. How can I have the face to go back？ What’s more, I heard that the family dismissed all the foreign surname offerings a few years ago and only left a few elders of the original family. Even if I go back, they won’t accept me.”

“No, no, no. I don’t mean to go back to the Hake family. I mean, go find Wu Yi, go find Chang Qi and Hao An！” Yang Kai erected a finger and shook it.

“You mean… go to Lingxiao Sect？” Huang Juan’s eyes lit up.

“Oh？ You know Lingxiao Sect？” Yang Kai was surprised.

“Sect Master Yang is joking.” Huang Juan’s bright eyes turned. “Lingxiao Sect is now famous. Although I have lived in Linhai City for a long time, how could I not have heard of it？ What’s more, the battle of Dragon’s Cave Mountain has also spread throughout You’an Star. Now I’m afraid no one doesn’t know the name of Lingxiao Sect and the name of Sect Master Yang.”

“I’m so famous？” Yang Kai raised his brows. He didn’t think Huang Juan was flattering him. After all, this place is adjacent to the outer sea and is very far from the inland. She can hear about the battle of Dragon’s Cave Mountain and the matter of Lingxiao Sect. It is estimated that what she said before is indeed true.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I just ask you, what do you think of the previous proposal？”

A touch of excitement emerged on Huang Juan’s face, but she didn’t respond immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a long while, she said dim: Naturally, I would like to, but my cultivation is so low. What virtue and ability do I have to join Lingxiao Sect?

“What does it matter if the cultivation is low？ There are plenty of people in the sect whose realm is worse than yours. You know the abilities of those disciples of the Heike Family. Now most of them are still at the level of entering the Saint Realm. Although quite a few have been promoted to the Saint King Realm, they are still much worse than you.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but laugh.

“But…”

“There is no but. Whether you are willing or not is just a matter of one sentence.” Yang Kai’s expression turned serious, interrupting her words.

Huang Juan bit her red lip and nodded seriously after a long while： “I am willing！”

“That’s good.” Yang Kai smiled slightly. “Then from today on, you are a member of Lingxiao Sect.”

As the sect master, it was no problem for him to accept someone.

“This subordinate thanks the sect master for the kindness of taking me in！” Huang Juan was also a decisive person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left the Heike Family in advance and gone far away. Since she had decided, she no longer hesitated and knelt down neatly.

“Don’t be so polite.” Yang Kai reached out and helped her up. Observing her expression, he knew there were still some doubts in her heart and took the initiative to explain, Meeting you here is also considered fate. Moreover, over the years, Wu Yi and Chang Qihao’an often talk about you Besides, the sect is now in urgent need of Void Return Stage powerhouses to sit in, so I did this. You don’t need to think too much.”

“Yes！” Huang Juan nodded slightly. “But Sect Master, I’m only at the Third-Order Saint King Realm now.”

She thought Yang Kai had made a mistake.

“You are at the Third-Order Saint King Realm now, but you will be at the Void Return Stage in a while.” Yang Kai grinned, and his smile was full of confidence. Huang Juan’s situation was the same as that of Chang Qihao’an. Both of them had been stuck at this cultivation level for many years and had been unable to break through the bottleneck. However, since Chang Qihao’an could break through, Huang Juan should also be able to.

The reputation of Lingxiao Sect is indeed loud enough now. Standing in the Flowing Flame Sand Field, there is no need to worry about being harassed by others. However, the strength of a sect is inseparable from the number and strength of the powerhouses in the sect. It is not something that can be achieved by standing still.

Looking at the entire Lingxiao Sect, except for Ye Xiyun and himself, the cultivation bases of the others are really a bit horrible to look at. Especially the number of Void Return Stage powerhouses is really too small.

It would take at least a dozen or twenty years for Wu Yi and the others to grow up, but Huang Juan was different. She was only one step away from breaking through and could be said to be a ready-made candidate for the Void Returning Realm, and he also knew her background.

So Yang Kai had the idea of bringing her back.

If it were a stranger of unknown origin, Yang Kai would never have done this.

In the future, the Lingxiao Sect would surely face many setbacks and hardships. Naturally, it was necessary to make preparations in advance and find ways to improve its strength.

“Do you have anything to pack here？ If not, come with me.” Yang Kai looked at her and asked.

“There’s nothing, but…”

“But what？” Yang Kai looked at her in surprise.

“There’s just one more person I want to bring. I beg the Sect Master to allow it！”

“Bring someone？” Yang Kai frowned. “Who？”

He was willing to absorb Huang Juan into the Lingxiao Sect, but that didn’t mean he was also willing to absorb others. Now that he heard what Huang Juan said, he was suddenly a little unhappy.

Was this woman being a bit too greedy and insatiable？

Huang Juan couldn’t help but show a look of fear on her face and lowered her head, saying, “Please calm your anger, Sect Master. Could you please move and go with your subordinate to meet that person? After you see that person, you can make a decision. How about it?”

Yang Kai squinted his eyes and looked at her for a moment and then nodded, saying, “Alright, you lead the way.

“Thank you, Sect Master.” Huang Juan was overjoyed and quickly led the way.

In a corner of Linhai City, in front of an extremely simple small house. This kind of house is very common in Linhai City, extremely low, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a humble abode. Huang Juan led Yang Kai all the way here, walked to the door and gently knocked a few times, as if it was some kind of secret code, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Yang Kai followed in and turned his head to look, couldn’t help sighing.

It’s really because the inside of this house is not only extremely small, but also dark and damp, and the layout is extremely simple. Besides the minimum furniture, there is nothing else.

“Have you lived here all these years？” Yang Kai frowned, and the anger in his heart dissipated invisibly a lot.

“Returning to the Sect Master, this subordinate has only lived here in the past three years.” Huang Juan smiled awkwardly. When she was a worshiper of the Heike family back then, although the Heike family was not powerful, at least there was a comfortable residence, which was thousands of times better than the current environment.
