Chapter 2050
byThe head of the Jiang family, Jiang Lin, and many elders all came out to welcome him, which obviously gave Yang Kai enough face. Seeing this, Yang Kai clasped his fists neither humbly nor arrogantly and said, “Visiting late at night is really a last resort. I have disturbed the head of the Jiang family and everyone. Please don’t blame me.”
“What are you talking about? That Yang Dan Shi can come to my Jiang family is a great honor for my Jiang family. We are too late to welcome you. How can there be any talk of disturbing?” Jiang Lin was extremely enthusiastic, laughing heartily. As he spoke, he turned sideways and motioned, “Yang Dan Shi, please come in and talk.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Mo Xiaoqi, and under the leadership of Jiang Lin, walked straight into the Jiang family.
Moments later, everyone arrived at the guest-receiving hall of the Jiang family. They took their seats as hosts and guests. The servants had already received the news and prepared fragrant tea, which was served one by one.
Under Jiang Lin’s warm hospitality, Yang Kai took a few sips of tea and absentmindedly praised it a few times.
Jiang Lin didn’t seem to notice and chuckled, saying, “I’ve long heard of the great name of Alchemist Yang of the Lingdan Workshop. I’ve always had no chance to meet you. Unexpectedly, today Alchemist Yang actually came to my Jiang family in person. It really makes Jiang Lin both surprised and delighted.”
Yang Kai showed a hint of surprise and said, “The head of the Jiang family has heard of me？”
He originally thought that what Jiang Lin said before was just polite, but he didn’t expect that he really knew him.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, “The great name of Alchemist Yang is probably known by everyone with a bit of status in Fenglin City. To be honest, my Jiang family has purchased a lot of the Source Condensing Pills you refined, and many disciples have benefited from them. And I’ve also heard that Alchemist Yang single-handedly averted the doom of the Lingdan Workshop closing down.”
Hearing what he said, Yang Kai understood.
Although he had not shown his face much during the few months when he was refining pills in the Lingdan Workshop, some things that happened in the Lingdan Workshop probably couldn’t escape the probing of these local snakes. So it was not surprising that they could learn of Yang Kai’s existence.
“There aren’t many alchemists in Fenglin City, and there are even fewer alchemists who can refine Source Condensing Pills. Even if Alchemist Yang doesn’t want to be famous, there are already people spreading your name.” Jiang Lin laughed. Suddenly, the conversation took a turn, and he probed meaningfully： “However, I heard that Alchemist Yang has now left Lingdan Workshop？ No longer refining pills for Lingdan Workshop？ I wonder if this news is true or false…”
Yang Kai had no intention of hiding anything and nodded： “That’s right. At that time, I had an agreement with Shopkeeper Kang to refine pills for Lingdan Workshop for only two months. Now the time limit has long passed.”
“Really？” Jiang Lin was overjoyed！
Not only did Jiang Lin show a look of joy, but even the elders of the Jiang family sitting beside him also had a change in their expressions. They all looked at Yang Kai with fiery eyes, as if looking at some peerless beauty, and wished they could swallow him into their stomachs in one gulp.
Seeing this situation, Yang Kai frowned and said： “Pill refining is not the direction I mainly cultivate, so I have no intention of developing in this field all the time.”
“Oh…” Jiang Lin was an old fox and could naturally hear the meaning in Yang Kai’s words. He said disappointedly： “It’s a pity that Alchemist Yang has this choice. Well, I wonder what brings Alchemist Yang to my Jiang family this time？ If there is anything my Jiang family can do to help, we will definitely not decline.”
Although Yang Kai said that, he was still a Void King-level alchemist after all. It was no harm for the Jiang family to build a good relationship with such a person. How could Jiang Lin let go of this opportunity to curry favor？ And he also knew that since Yang Kai had come to the Jiang family, he must have something to ask of the Jiang family.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment and said, “Since the head of the Jiang family asked, then I’ll get straight to the point. This time I came to your family mainly to find someone.”
“Find someone？” Jiang Lin frowned. The other elders sitting there also had a look of suspicion on their faces, not knowing which person Yang Kai came to the Jiang family to find.
Jiang Lin asked, “I wonder what kind of person Alchemist Yang wants to find？”
“A little girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with the cultivation base at the peak of the Second-Order Saint King Realm…” Yang Kai simply described Zhang Ruoxi’s appearance and some characteristics.
While he was speaking, the eyelid of an old man with a ruddy complexion sitting on the left side suddenly jumped slightly, and then returned to normal immediately.
Yang Kai’s spiritual sense immediately caught this detail, and his heart moved immediately. He looked at him thoughtfully. The elder immediately lowered his eyelids and looked calm.
After listening to Yang Kai’s description, Jiang Lin looked at the people present with a consultative expression and asked, “Is there such a little girl in our Jiang family？”
An old man sitting beside Jiang Lin immediately stood up, cupped his fists and said, “Reporting to the family head, there may be such a little girl in our Jiang family, but I don’t know if she is the one that Alchemist Yang is looking for.”
“Alright, then bring the person up and let Alchemist Yang take a look. If she is really the one that Alchemist Yang is looking for, our Jiang family naturally won’t keep her.” Jiang Lin readily said.
“No need.” Before Yang Kai could speak, Mo Xiaoqi, who had been sitting quietly beside, waved his hand and said, “The person we are looking for is not here.”
Jiang Lin couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Mo Xiaoqi and then at Yang Kai, and asked suspiciously, “Alchemist Yang, what does this mean？ Since you came to our Jiang family to look for someone, why did you say that the person is not in our Jiang family？ Jiang is really confused by you.”
“Could it be that you secretly investigated our Jiang family before, so you can be so sure？” A Jiang family elder suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice.
When the others heard this, their expressions also sank, and they looked at Yang Kai and Mo Xiaoqi with some displeasure.
Mo Xiaoqi suddenly knew that he had just said the wrong thing, and couldn’t help but shrink his head, feeling a little guilty like a thief.
Yang Kai, however, remained calm and said, “Everyone, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I have placed some restrictions on that little girl. As long as the distance is not too far, I can sense it with the power of the restrictions, so I can be so sure.”
“So that’s how it is！” Jiang Lin nodded with a look of sudden realization, and then said, “But if that’s the case, why did Alchemist Yang come to my Jiang family to look for someone？”
“It’s like this…” Yang Kai sighed and said, “Previously, someone saw that little girl following the people of your Jiang family and entering the Jiang residence, so I took the liberty to come and disturb. I just don’t know for what reason, now she is no longer here. If any of you present know her whereabouts, please do me a favor. I will be extremely grateful！”
“Someone saw?” “Who saw?” The Jiang family elder who spoke earlier lashed out.
“This really can’t be told！” Yang Kai shook his head. He couldn’t possibly betray that young woman, and moreover, as far as he estimated, that young woman was probably already out of Fenglin City by now.
“Pure slander！” That Jiang family elder angrily flicked his sleeve. “If my Jiang family really had that little girl, why would we need to hide anything？ My Jiang family wouldn’t do anything disgraceful.”
“No one said you were going to do something disgraceful.” Mo Xiaoqi pouted when he heard this.
“You…” The Jiang family elder was furious.
“All right.” Jiang Lin also frowned, waved his hand, glared at that elder, and then turned to look at Yang Kai and said, “Alchemist Yang, that little girl entering the Jiang family was not something you saw with your own eyes, but just hearsay. How can it be taken seriously? Moreover, since you have a prohibition Induction with that little girl, whether she is in the Jiang residence or not you should know better than anyone else.”
Yang Kai nodded. “I know this might be a bit difficult for everyone, but that little girl is very important to me.”
“How about this, Alchemist Yang? Since this matter has already involved my Jiang Family, I, Jiang Lin, naturally cannot just stand by and do nothing. My Jiang Family still has some strength in Fenglin City. We can help you inquire on your behalf. If we can find the whereabouts of those little girls and clear my Jiang Family’s name, that would be the best. What do you think, Alchemist Yang?”
After saying that, Jiang Lin looked at Yang Kai with burning eyes.
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he faintly nodded and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Family Head Jiang. If the Jiang Family can bring that little girl to me intact, I can promise to refine spirit pills for the Jiang Family for a month！ Oh, I forgot to tell Family Head Jiang that I am now a Void King Grade High-Rank Alchemist. If I’m lucky, refining Dao Source Grade spirit pills is not a problem either.”
Ever since he refined the Dao Source Pill that day, Yang Kai has already been a Dao Source Grade alchemist.
However, even in the Star Boundary, Dao Source Grade alchemists are extremely rare. Yang Kai naturally couldn’t casually tell outsiders. The identity of a Void King Grade High-Rank Alchemist was enough.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the group of people from the Jiang Family all perked up.
“Void King Grade High-Rank Alchemist？”
“Refine spirit pills for a month？”
Even Jiang Lin himself’s eyes burned with excitement. Although he knew that to become an alchemist of the Spirit Pill Workshop, one had to at least be at the Void King level, he really hadn’t expected Yang Kai to be at the upper grade of the Void King level！
Such an alchemist has great attraction for any family. If one can obtain his friendship and assistance, it will be of great benefit to the future development of the family.
In case he is promoted to the Dao Source level in the future, then it will not be something that the Jiang family can afford to climb.
For a while, the breathing of Jiang Lin and many elders of the Jiang family became rapid.
“But if there is any damage to that girl, heheh… whoever did it to her, I will make the family of that person restless and the whole family wiped out！”
As Yang Kai’s voice fell, the complexions of the group of people from the Jiang family suddenly changed, and they all became cold and severe.
Jiang Lin’s face twitched slightly a few times, and then he smiled and said, “If the person who took away that little girl knew that she had such a origin and relationship with Alchemist Yang, presumably he would never dare to be rude to her. He wouldn’t even have time to treat her as a distinguished guest.”
“I hope so!” Yang Kai nodded slightly. After saying that, he stood up and clasped his hands and said, “Sorry for the disturbance this time. Yang is leaving. You don’t need to see me off!
After saying that, he winked at Mo Xiaoqi. The two of them quickly left under the gaze of a group of people from the Jiang family.
In the greeting hall, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. For a long time after Yang Kai left, not a single person spoke. The high-ranking members of the Jiang family just looked at each other, their eyes intersecting, and some unknown messages were quickly transmitted in the air.
