Chapter 2271

The cloud of Soul Eater Insects that was fluttering around suddenly rushed towards him all at once, the buzzing sound incessant. Yang Kai stood there with a serious expression, looking solemn and on guard ready to take action at any time.

After a while, he was wrapped up by the cloud of insects. Immediately following, a Soul Eater Insect landed on him, shook its wings and remained motionless quietly crawling there. Then another one…

Large swathes of the insect cloud descended, wrapping him layer upon layer, completely obscuring his figure.

But all the Soul Eater Insects were quiet and had no intention of attacking Yang Kai. Instead, under an invisible connection, these Soul Eater Insects obeyed Yang Kai’s orders.

Hahaha！” Yang Kai couldn’t help but burst out laughing, feeling that the Insect Slave Bracelet was truly a good treasure.”

At that time in the Divine Wanderer Mirror World, Yang Kai had felt that his batch of Soul Eater Insects was already not very easy to control. Later, the other batch of Soul Eater Insects he obtained from Tian Yan had no mental connection with him at all.

But now, these evolved Soul Eater Insects obediently listened to his orders, as if they were part of his own body. Naturally, the greatest credit had to go to the Insect Slave Bracelet.

This Emperor Treasure had no ability to attack or defend, but it could restrain all kinds of strange insects and strange beasts in the world. It was the crystallization of the Insect Emperor’s life’s work and indeed had a miraculous effect on dealing with Soul Eater Insects.

In this way, Yang Kai no longer has any concerns. When encountering powerful enemies in the future, the Soul Eater Insects can also become one of his means of dealing with the enemy.

After some testing, Yang Kai was greatly satisfied. With a slight movement of his mind, he made those Soul Eater Insects return to the large urn to rest and recover.

The space inside this Insect Slave Bracelet seems to have some subtle promoting effect on the survival of strange insects and strange beasts. The strange insects and strange beasts staying here will not only not die or weaken, but will become stronger and stronger.

Of course, if he wants the Soul Eater Insects to grow faster, Yang Kai still needs to find more Wuxiang Profound Grasses to feed them.

The Wuxiang Profound Grass is not a very rare spiritual grass. Many large sects can cultivate it themselves, so it is not difficult to find. However, the quantity Yang Kai needs are huge, and it will definitely be a considerable expense.

In the past, Yang Kai might not have been able to afford it, but now that he has obtained a source crystal mine, he doesn’t need to worry about source crystals for a short time, so he can naturally make a large purchase.

With this thought in mind, Yang Kai quickly withdrew his mind from the Insect Slave Bracelet, opened his eyes and stood up, opened the secret room, and prepared to go to the city to buy some Wuxiang Profound Grasses.

Pushing open the door and walking out, Yang Kai immediately felt the different spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him. It seems that during the period when he was in seclusion and cultivation, the spiritual energy density in Fenglin City has increased a lot.

This made him feel extremely surprised, because Lou Chi had used the Emperor Treasure Liangyi Record to turn it into a seal and suppress that spiritual lake. Logically speaking, as time passed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here in Fenglin City should become thinner and thinner and gradually return to what it was before.

But after so many days have passed, the spiritual energy not only has not decreased, but instead shows signs of increasing, which makes Yang Kai unable to understand no matter how hard he tries.

Just at this time, a beautiful figure shot over from not far away and manifested in front of him. It was exactly Ye Qinghan.

Young Master Yang, you’ve left seclusion！” Ye Qinghan looked Yang Kai up and down and found that his aura was steady and his divine light was restrained. She couldn’t help but envy and say, “Young Master Yang seems to have gained a lot this time.

So-so.” Yang Kai grinned. Since he had already decided to follow Ye Qinghan to Qianye Sect, he wasn’t so repulsed towards her anymore. His expression moved, and Yang Kai asked in surprise “You wouldn’t have been guarding here all the time, would you?

Ye Qinghan smiled awkwardly： “Anyway, this concubine has nothing else to do.”

Yang Kai said： “Don’t worry, since I’ve already promised you, I won’t run away. I will definitely follow you to Qianye Sect.”

This concubine doesn’t mean to monitor Young Master Yang…” Ye Qinghan quickly waved her hand and said nervously with a flustered expression, “This concubine just… just…

She said for a long time but couldn’t come up with a reason, and couldn’t help but be in a state of panic. She was afraid of angering Yang Kai.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Well, accompany me to buy something. After buying it, we’ll set off.”

Ye Qinghan’s expression lit up with joy and she quickly nodded and said, “Okay, okay…”

Immediately, the two of them rushed towards the city.”

As they walked along the road, Yang Kai noticed that the warriors in Fenglin City were sparse and there was no longer the previous excitement. However, every warrior on the street had a beaming expression on their faces, as if they had struck it rich. He couldn’t help but feel very strange and said, “Why are these guys all smiling like flowers? What good thing happened to them?”

Ye Qinghan pursed her lips and smiled, “Fenglin City is not the same as before. The spiritual energy here is more than three to five times richer than before. Naturally, they are happy.”

“Oh, by the way, I was just about to ask you about this.” Yang Kai turned his head to look at her. “What’s going on with this spiritual energy？ Why has it become so rich？”

Ye Qinghan said, “Young Master Yang has been in seclusion for this whole month and naturally doesn’t know the changes in Fenglin City. The matter is like this… Several adults led by Lord Xiao of the Star God Palace discussed for a few days a month ago and decided to transform the place where the spiritual lake is located into a holy place for cultivation. So they transferred people from their respective sects. And ten days ago, the transformation over there was all completed. Now the place where the spiritual lake is located has become a cultivation place famous throughout the Southern Region, attracting countless warriors to flock here. Many people in Fenglin City have also gone to watch the excitement, so there are few people in the city…”

After hearing her explanation, Yang Kai finally understood why there were suddenly so few people in Fenglin City. It turns out that they all went to watch the excitement at the place where the spiritual lake is located.

“That place has been named the Spiritual Lake Palace by Lord Xiao Yuyang and other adults. It covers a very wide area and many secret rooms have been built inside for warriors to practice in seclusion.”

“The Spiritual Lake Palace！” Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised.

Ye Qinghan smiled and said, “That’s right.”

Yang Kai thought thoughtfully and said, “Then this Spiritual Lake Palace… who is it under the jurisdiction of and who owns it？”

Ye Qinghan said, “None of the major sects has the intention to occupy it. This Spiritual Lake Palace is managed jointly by the major sects and Fenglin City with the Star God Palace as the leader. It is open to the entire Southern Region. As long as there are enough source crystals, one can enter and practice inside.”

“Oh？” Yang Kai was surprised. “Does Fenglin City also have a share in the management？”

“Naturally. The Spirit Lake Palace is right next to Fenglin City. It couldn’t be better for Fenglin City to manage it. Now Fenglin City can be said to have made a sensation with a single action.”

Yang Kai chuckled and said, “I can imagine the appearance of City Lord Duan being extremely happy.”

Ye Qinghan pursed her lips and smiled, “Indeed. Although City Lord Duan’s strength is still at the Third-Order Dao Source Realm, with the Spirit Lake Palace, his status has already risen sharply. I’m afraid he can be on an equal footing with the sect masters and palace masters of those first-line sects.”

“High status but insufficient cultivation. It’s hard to convince the public！” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, feeling a little worried for Duan Yuanshan.”

Ye Qinghan glanced at him and said, “Young Master Yang needn’t worry about this. Lord Xiao has already decided to accept City Lord Duan and Deputy City Lord Drunken Old Man as outer disciples of the Star God Palace. In addition, these two city lords also hold some idle positions in many top forces such as the Qingyang Divine Hall and the Tianwu Holy Land.”

Yang Kai listened with a dumbfounded expression and said, “This is also okay？”

Ye Qinghan covered her red lips with her hand and giggled, “I’m afraid it’s a last resort.”

“The adults are really far-sighted.” Yang Kai shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Although this matter has never been heard of before, in this way, I’m afraid no one dares to look down on City Lord Duan and Old Man Jiu, and no one dares not to obey their jurisdiction.”

Nowadays, although the cultivation bases of Duan Yuanshan and Old Jiu are not too high, with the support of several top sects in the entire Southern Region, it is naturally no problem to manage Fenglin City and Linghu Palace.

If anyone dares not to obey the order, it is tantamount to making an enemy of all the top forces in the entire Southern Region. Who has the courage to do so？

“However, Lord Xiao has great courage. The Star God Palace really deserves to be the overlord of the Southern Region. Its bearing is extraordinary.” Yang Kai said sincerely.

To be honest, if the Star God Palace really intends to occupy the Linghu Palace, I am afraid that no one dares to resist. After all, with Emperor Mingyue sitting in the Star God Palace, other top forces are simply unable to compete with it.

But the Star God Palace didn’t do that. Instead, it took the lead and led many forces to build the Star God Palace into a cultivation holy land open to the entire Southern Region. From this, we can see the magnanimity and tolerance of this overlord sect.

Not every sect can do this.

Even Wen Zishan of the Qingyang Temple, if he got such a cultivation holy land, Yang Kai estimated that he would also hide it secretly and use it as a cultivation place for the disciples of the Qingyang Temple.

People always have differences in intimacy. This is human nature. No one will consider others for no reason.

“Continue.” Yang Kai motioned.

“The Linghu Palace has emulated the Star God Palace’s classification of cultivation holy places, also divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Among them, the Human-grade cultivation holy place is open to martial artists below the Void Returning Mirror, and the Earth-grade is open to martial artists at the Dao Source Realm and below. As for the top Heaven-grade, it is only open to Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses.” Having said this, a look of extreme longing emerged on Ye Qinghan’s face, as if she was longing for the supreme Emperor Venerable Realm. “The higher the grade, the more source crystals are required to enter and cultivate. The top Heaven-grade cultivation place reportedly requires one thousand top-grade source crystals for one day and one night, and only top-grade source crystals are allowed to be paid, and it is not allowed to be converted into the corresponding number of middle-grade or low-grade source crystals.”

“This price… is indeed terrifying！” Yang Kai had a sighing expression on his face.

One thousand top-grade source crystals is equivalent to one hundred thousand middle-grade source crystals and ten million low-grade source crystals.

This is only the cost for one day and one night, but when martial artists cultivate, which time do they not seclude themselves for ten days and a half months？ If they want to comprehend secret techniques and cultivation methods, it is common for them to spend a year and a half. Especially when Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses seclude themselves, it is possible that they will seclude themselves for several years or even more than ten years.

The source crystals that need to be paid are incalculable.

Moreover, it is also limited that only top-grade source crystals are allowed to be paid, and the conditions are extremely harsh.

“However, most of the Emperor Senior Stage experts are wealthy. If they truly want to make further progress in martial arts, they might not care about these worldly possessions.” Yang Kai said thoughtfully.
