Chapter 2006

Gong Sunmu had a prominent status back then so even the servant beside him had no low strength. After being driven away by Gong Sunmu, he secluded himself in the Southern Territory, married, had children, and spread his branches and leaves, founding a family of his own.

But as the generations passed down, the descendants of the family had uneven qualifications, and in the end, it declined and declined.

Until a hundred years ago, there was actually only one descendant left in this family. And when that descendant was being hunted down by his enemies, he was rescued by Kang Siran. Unfortunately, the injuries that person suffered at that time were too severe, and Kang Siran simply had no way to save him.

Before that descendant died, he gladly told the secret that had been passed down orally in the family.

This is also the origin of how Kang Siran was able to obtain the information about Gongsun Mu’s cave abode, which is rather strange and circuitous.

However, after hearing this, Yang Kai didn’t have any doubts.

For one thing, he had been in contact with Kang Siran for so many days and felt that Kang Siran was a fairly good person and not a treacherous and evil person. There was no need to deceive him. For another thing, there are many coincidences and opportunities in this world. Even he himself has experienced many times.

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai said, “If that place is really Gongsun Mu’s cave abode, it is necessary to explore it. However… Why did Shopkeeper Kang come to me? Your chamber has a lot of talented people and there are many people with higher strength than me. Isn’t it more certain to ask those people to go?”

Kang Siran chuckled and said, “Alchemist Yang, you’re overthinking. Indeed, there are many talents in the headquarters of our business association, and there are countless Dao Source Realm powerhouses. If we invite them to go together, both the success rate and safety will be greatly improved. But if that’s the case… how much benefit can this old man get？ Alchemist Yang should know that this is a private action of mine, not related to the business association. If the powerhouses in the headquarters really find out, this old man won’t even be able to drink the soup of the good things inside. This old man has always planned to find someone with similar strength to me to go together. I hope Alchemist Yang can understand this.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and said, “I understand Shopkeeper Kang’s concerns.”

“It’s a great blessing for this old man that Alchemist Yang can understand. I wonder what Alchemist Yang means…”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Since it involves Alchemist Gongsun Mu, of course I’m also very interested.”

Kang Siran was overjoyed and said, “If that’s the case, then it’s settled. But this old man still has one thing to ask.”

“Shopkeeper Kang, please speak！”

Kang Siran’s expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “If there is still a Dao Source Pill remaining in that cave, this old man needs to take one first！”

“This is no problem.” Yang Kai agreed without even thinking.

Kang Siran was stunned. He seemingly didn’t expect Yang Kai to agree so quickly. A hint of gratitude couldn’t help but emerge on his face as he said, “Thank you, Master Yang Dan, for your kindness. This old man knows his qualifications is dull. Without the assistance of the Dao Source Pill this old man will never be able to promote to the Dao Source Realm in this lifetime. But the Dao Source Pill is such a rare thing. This time when the Five-Colored Pagoda opened, this old man also had no chance with those three Dao Source Fruits. If not for this, this old man wouldn’t be in a hurry to explore that cave abode. However, Master Yang Dan, please rest assured. Whether there is a Dao Source Pill inside or not, all the things related to alchemy will belong to Master Yang Dan. As for the other things, the two of us can discuss the allocation at that time.”

“Good.” Yang Kai nodded. “When shall we set off?”

Let’s tentatively set one month later. One month later this old man will wait for Master Yang Dan’s arrival at the Pill Workshop. This old man also needs to make some preparations during this one month. In addition, there is going to be an auction in the city. This old man wants to go and join in the fun to see if there will be any harvest. I wonder if Master Yang Dan is interested in going with this old man? Kang Siran asked.

“There is going to be an auction in the city？” Yang Kai was Stunned .

“That’s right.” Kang Siran chuckled and said, “This time, the martial artists in our Fenglin City have obtained a lot of good things from the Five-Colored Pagoda. So the city lord wants to hold an auction to let everyone exchange what they have. Maybe in this auction, I can still see the Dao Source Fruit. You are now at the Third-Order Void King Realm, and I’m afraid you should also prepare the Dao Source Pill in advance？”

“That’s really necessary. When and where will this auction start？” Yang Kai asked.

……

Half an hour later, Yang Kai walked out of the Spirit Pill Workshop.

Regarding that auction, Yang Kai didn’t say for sure whether he would go or not. He only told Kang Siran that if he was free at that time, he would go and have a look. Naturally, Kang Siran had no objections.

After leaving the Spirit Pill Workshop, he thought for a while and didn’t return to his own cave dwelling. Instead, he directly flew towards the outside of the city.

Not long after, after leaving Fenglin City, Yang Kai identified the direction and then flew towards the north in the air.

At a position about thirty miles away from Fenglin City, there is an existence like a manor. There are numerous houses inside the manor, covering a rather vast area. There are small bridges and flowing water inside, and the environment is quiet and secluded, quite elegant and peaceful.

Yang Kai landed alone from the air, and his spiritual thoughts swept over a part of this manor. He muttered, “This should be the place.”

The reason he came here was naturally because he had to fulfill the promise he made with that guy named Zhang Gaoxuan in the Five-Colored Pagoda. The Zhang family was also a somewhat famous family in Fenglin City, so after just a little inquiry, he knew the location of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family’s foundation was not located inside Fenglin City, but here outside the city. After all, every inch of land in Fenglin City was precious. To accommodate a large family, it would also cost a lot. But building an outer residence outside was different. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was not too rich, it was still no problem for a small family to use.

With a single glance, Yang Kai knew that there should be someone in the Zhang family who knew a little about the way of formations. Some simple formations had been deployed in this manor to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Since he had obtained a Dao Source Fruit from the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Gaoxuan, Yang Kai, both emotionally and rationally, had to come here and take a look, and bring Zhang Gaoxuan’s other relics and instructions.

He didn’t have much time before, so it was delayed until today.

When he came to the main gate, Yang Kai was just about to shout loudly, but unexpectedly, two streams of light suddenly shot out from inside the main gate, with a fierce momentum, directly aiming at his face.

Behind those two streams of light, two figures also rushed out, each with their hands making spiritual formulas, their eyes bloodshot, as if they had some sworn hatred with Yang Kai, looking like they would be happy to kill him.

Yang Kai was Stunned .

However, he didn’t take the opponent’s attack seriously. After all, the cultivation bases of these two people were really not high. One was at the Second-Order Void Returning Realm, and the other was at the First-Order Void Returning Realm. Even if they launched a full-strength attack, how much threat could they pose to him？

So he stood there motionless, bent a finger, and flicked it forward.

With two crisp cracking sounds, the two streams of light that attacked his face suddenly shattered.

Seeing this situation, the two people who followed closely behind were stunned for a moment, but soon, they rushed up with ferocious expressions, looking as if they were ready to die. And they didn’t know what secret technique they used. Each of them opened their mouths and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and their auras skyrocketed.

Yang Kai’s brows suddenly furrowed. Before these two people could sacrifice any more secret treasures, his own domain slowly spread out.

In an instant, these two people were like being pressed down by a big mountain, their bodies were stiff and unable to move, but the expression of each person was extremely angry, and the gaze looking at Yang Kai was almost on fire.

“Is this the Zhang family？” Yang Kai maintained the power of the domain, suppressing the two people, and asked lightly.

These two people were both men who looked about thirty years old, one fat and one thin. Hearing this, the slightly fatter man snorted coldly and said, “Why ask? If you want to kill, just kill. There is no need to talk nonsense!

Although the thinner man didn’t speak, the fierce look revealed in his eyes obviously meant the same thing.

“What happened to the Zhang family?” Yang Kai was not a fool. Seeing this situation, how could he not have guessed? He couldn’t help but frown.

“You are so wordy. Since you are here to do things for the Lu family, why bother to be hypocritical.” The fatter warrior snorted coldly, with a look of contempt on his face.

The thinner warrior sneered and continued： “That old hypocrite Lu Baichuan has a sanctimonious appearance, and the people he invites are naturally of the same kind. Why should Third Brother be surprised.”

The fat warrior laughed loudly and said： “That’s right. It’s my stupidity, Third Brother.”

After saying that, he even spat hard at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai sighed and said, “I’m afraid there is some misunderstanding between us. I don’t know who Lu Baichuan is, nor do I know the Lu family you mentioned. I only fought back because you suddenly launched a sneak attack.”

“Since you don’t know that old thief Lu Baichuan, why did you come to my Zhang family？”

Just at this moment, a voice full of vigor suddenly came from the interior of the manor. Immediately after, a silver-haired old woman, leaning on a wooden staff as tall as a person was supported by a young girl and walked out step by step.

And behind the old woman, there were quite a few other people following.

That old woman was not young, with wrinkles all over her face and even some brown age spots. Her gaze was like thunder and electricity, staring at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s spiritual mind swept through and immediately understood that this old woman had the cultivation base of the Void King 1-layer, and she should have suffered some fundamental injuries from fighting with someone recently, so the Saint Yuan in her body was a bit disordered.

However, what made him even morefeel uncertain was that the people who followed the old woman out were all women, middle-aged women, young women, young girls, and even several children who hadn’t grown up.

The only men present were the one fat and one thin martial artist who had attacked him before.

It was as if all the men in this family, except for the fat and thin ones, had died.

Yang Kai waved his hand, dispersing his domain field and releasing the two fat and thin men.

These two men were quite sensible. It seemed that they realized the huge gap in strength between themselves and Yang Kai, so they don’t get entangled anymore. Instead, they flickered and came to the side of the old woman taking on a protective stance and looking at Yang Kai vigilantly.

“I am Yang Kai. Greetings, old madam. May I ask if this is the Zhang family?” Yang Kai bowed with clasped fists.

“That’s right. This is exactly the Zhang family.” The old woman is holding the cane in her hand and replied in a deep voice.

“That’s good.” Yang Kai smiled slightly and mused for a while before saying, “Old madam, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Why did you attack me as soon as I came here?

“Youdaoplaceholder0?” The old woman sneered. “Whether there are misunderstandings or not depends on who you are working for here. You said before that you don’t know the old thief Lu Baichuan?

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “I have never heard of him.”
