Chapter 2371

However, Yang Kai couldn’t quite understand. Since the Ice Heart Pavilion was a place that sold materials, why would it want to employ alchemists？ Moreover, looking at the material and traces of that wooden sign, it was obvious that it had been placed there for some years. In other words, the Ice Heart Pavilion had been recruiting alchemists since a long time ago.

Seeing that Fan Xin brought Yang Kai in, those female disciples of Ice Heart Pavilion seemed to be extremely surprised as well. Their beautiful eyes looked over here. These women were all young girls, each with a delicate and pretty appearance, pure and flawless. It seemed that they had all cultivated the same kind of cultivation method. However, their cultivation bases were uneven. Fan Xin was only at the Second-Order Dao Source Realm. These young girls hadn’t even reached the Dao Source Realm. The most powerful one was only at the First-Order Void Return Realm. The others were even at the Saint King Realm or Saint Realm. Yang Kai didn’t know how thePavilion Master of Ice Heart Pavilion accepted disciples.

“Junior Sister Fan, how many alchemists does your Ice Heart Pavilion have now？” Yang Kai didn’t care about the looks of those young girls at him and casually asked.

“There was originally one, but he was dismissed a few days ago.” Fan Xin replied.

“Dismissed？” Yang Kai was stunned. “Didn’t that person refine pills with care？”

Since they recruited that person, why did they dismiss him again？ Yang Kai couldn’t figure it out.

Fan Xin smiled slightly. This time, she didn’t answer. Yang Kai didn’t know if there was another hidden reason or if it was inconvenient to answer. The two of them had already reached the third floor while talking.

Along the way, Yang Kai found that Ice Heart Pavilion was piled high with materials. the higher the grade of the materials.

At the corner of the third floor, there was a room looking like a secret chamber. After Fan Xin led Yang Kai into this place, she said, “Brother Yang, let’s test here. There is no source of earth fire on Tongtian Island, so the conditions here are a bit simple. Please forgive me.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Yang Kai waved his hand and found that this room occupied a large area, and there were more than a dozen alchemy furnaces of different sizes placed inside. Each of these alchemy furnaces was of the Dao Source level, and three of them had even reached the top grade of the Dao Source level.

Ice Heart Pavilion didn’t have an alchemist, but there were so many alchemy furnaces, obviously they were deliberately collected.

Yang Kai was suspicious and puzzled in his heart. Logically speaking, since Ice Heart Pavilion sold materials, it should just sell materials. Why did it have to hire a high-level alchemist？ And it also prepared so many alchemy furnaces. ThePavilion Master of Ice Heart Pavilion was at least a strong person at the Third-Order Emperor Venerable Realm level and definitely didn’t lack cultivation resources. After thinking about it, Yang Kai could only think of one possibility – thePavilion Master of Ice Heart Pavilion probably wanted to refine some kind of spirit pill, so he deliberately looked for some high-level alchemists.

“You can use these alchemy furnaces at will as long as you don’t damage them.” Fan Xin pointed to those alchemy furnaces and said.

“I see. But I don’t know what spirit pill Sister Fan wants me to refine？” Yang Kai turned his head and asked.

“As long as it is a middle-grade spirit pill of the Dao Source level. Brother, give the recipe and I will get the materials for you.”

Yang Kai nodded and pondered for a while before saying, “Then refine the Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill.”

This Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill is a middle-grade Dao Source Realm spirit pill. Its effect is that after taking it, a martial artist can erupt with a more powerful combat strength. However, there are some side effects. Once the medicinal effect passes, the whole body will be weak and powerless within two months, unable to use strength. Not only that, there will also be some damage to the meridians and foundation.

The inferior Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill can increase the strength of a martial artist by 10%, the medium one by 20%, and the superior one by 30%. If there are pill patterns, it can directly erupt by as much as 50%.

The medicinal properties of the Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill are violent. Only martial artists of the Dao Source Realm can take it. Forcing oneself to take it will only lead to exploding and dying. But which martial artist who has cultivated to the Dao Source Realm level is willing to take this kind of pill to forcibly improve their strength？ Once the meridians and foundation are damaged, it is very likely to stop advancing.

So this spirit pill is completely like existence and does not have much of a market. Only some desperate oes will prepare one or two pills for self-defense.

Yang Kai said the materials of the Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill once, and Fan Xin carefully wrote them down and immediately went to prepare them.

The reason why he chose the Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill was because the materials of this spirit pill were not difficult to find. Even on the Tongtian Island, there should be some.

Sure enough, not long after, Fan Xin returned again and directly brought ten portions of materials.

Handing the materials to Yang Kai, she said, “Brother Yang, as long as you can refine two furnaces of pills, you will pass. I’ll wait outside. Just call me when it’s done.”

Ten portions of materials and the requirement to refine two furnaces of pills are not too difficult a test for a genuine mid-rank Alchemist of the Dao Source Stage. As long as one pays a little attention, it can be successfully refined.

Naturally, it is even less of a problem for Yang Kai.

He can even refine Emperor Grade pills now, let alone mid-rank pills of the Dao Source Stage.

Obviously, Fan Xin also knows that it is not appropriate to disturb an Alchemist when he is refining pills, so she took the initiative to say that she would wait outside.

After she left, Yang Kai took out his Black Jade Tripod, placed it in front of him, and activated the Divine Consciousness Fire to start refining.

Although it was his first time refining the Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pill, he was not at all rusty. His movements were extremely skillful, and the control of the heat and the timing of the input of materials was also extremely perfect.

Soon, Yang Kai became completely immersed in refining pills.

Just as he was concentrating, the Soul Slashing Saber in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled slightly, instantly waking him up from that state of emptiness and clarity.

His expression remained unchanged, and his hand movements did not pause at all. However, he extremely carefully began to examine himself.

The Soul Slashing Saber couldn’t have such an abnormality for no reason. The only explanation was that something was wrong with himself.

He searched and searched, but still couldn’t find any clue.

It was only after a long while that he suddenly realized that someone was spying on him！ Because the Soul Slashing Knife sensed a foreign divine sense nearby, it had such an abnormal reaction.

And the fact that he couldn’t even detect this person’s spying with his own abilities showed that this person’s cultivation base far exceeded his own.

The Ice Heart Pavilion Master！

Yang Kai immediately understood who was secretly spying on him！ In the Ice Heart Pavilion, other than the elusive Ice Heart Pavilion Master, who else had such heaven-defying abilities？

It seemed that he had thought wrong before. He thought that a strong person like the Ice Heart Pavilion Master would definitely live in the best cave in the inner city, but he didn’t expect this person to actually be in the Ice Heart Pavilion.

The entire Ice Heart Pavilion had six floors, and he was on the third floor. That Ice Heart Pavilion Master was very likely on the sixth floor！

Such a strong person, what did it mean to secretly pay attention to his alchemy？ And what was the use of this mid-grade Dao Source level spirit pill to him？

Or perhaps… this strong person was paying attention to his alchemy skills？

Yang Kai’s thoughts raced through his mind like lightning, but his hands didn’t stop for a moment.

He originally planned to directly refine two cauldrons of spirit pills and then wait for the right time to go and report to Fan Xin, but now that he knew the Ice Heart Pavilion Master was spying on him, how could he still dare to do that？

He quietly modified a spirit array in the cauldron. After a short while, the cauldron suddenly let out a dull explosion, and immediately after, a burnt smell wafted out.

Yang Kai revealed a distracted expression and it was only after a long while that he let out a heavy sigh, seemingly lamenting that this furnace of spirit pills had actually failed to be refined.

Pouring out the medicinal dregs in the pill furnace, Yang Kai rested in place for a while and then started refining again.

It was already night when Yang Kai came out from Saunders, and this refining directly lasted until the next morning.

When Yang Kai opened the door, Fan Xin, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted him.

“Fortunately, I didn’t disgrace my mission. Three furnaces of pills were successfully refined. Please check them, Junior Sister Fan.” Yang Kai handed over three jade bottles, and each jade bottle contained four or five Seven-Star Dragon-Tiger Pills of different qualities.

This was also the normal level of a middle-grade Dao Source Realm alchemist’s performance.

Fan Xin took the jade bottles and didn’t even look at them. As if she had long expected the result, she smiled gently and said, “Senior Brother Yang’s test is considered passed. As long as Senior Brother Yang is willing, he can become an alchemist of our Ice Heart Pavilion.”

“Of course I’m willing！” Yang Kai replied with a forced smile.

He had entered this Ice Heart Pavilion originally hoping to take the opportunity to meet the Ice Heart Pavilion Master and get to know her, but now realize that the situation within the Ice Heart Pavilion was also strange and unpredictable making him wonder if it was right or wrong to come here to apply as an alchemist.

But things had come to this point, and he could only bite the bullet and agree.

“That’s great.” Fan Xin was overjoyed. “Brother Yang, you have no idea how hard it is to find a Dao Source Realm alchemist on this Tongtian Island. Throughout the entire Tongtian Island, there are only a few alchemists of this level, and none of them meet our requirements. Fortunately, we met you.”

Yang Kai originally wanted to ask how those people didn’t meet the requirements, but the words died on his lips.

He felt that Fan Xin definitely wouldn’t answer this question.

“Brother Yang, here’s the deal. If you refine pills in our Ice Heart Pavilion, you can get half of the profits from all the pills sold.”

“Half？” Yang Kai had a surprised expression on his face.

It wasn’t that he thought it was too little, but rather too much！

He didn’t need to prepare the materials, he just needed to refine pills here, and he could actually get half of the profits. This was simply a great thing.

“Sixty percent is also okay.” Seeing this, Fan Xin thought he was not satisfied with the remuneration and quickly changed her words. “Moreover, as you can see, our Ice Heart Pavilion has plenty of materials. As long as you can refine pills here, you can definitely improve your alchemy skills sooner or later, and it’s not a dream to be promoted to an Emperor Alchemist.”

This was the truth. The Ice Heart Pavilion had plenty of materials, and if an alchemist wanted to improve his level and ability, he needed a large number of materials to practice. If any alchemist entered the Ice Heart Pavilion, he would probably be reluctant to leave.

“No need, half is fine.” Yang Kai waved his hand.

Fan Xin was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, “Brother Yang is so kind. Then when can Brother Yang come over to refine pills？”

“I’m afraid it won’t work recently. I have an appointment to deal with something three days later… Well, it’s actually two days later. I’ll come over after I deal with that matter.” Yang Kai said.

Although Fan Xin was a little disappointed, she didn’t dare to force it and could only say, “Naturally, it’s mainly based on Brother Yang’s affairs. Please come back to Ice Heart Pavilion as soon as possible after Brother Yang finishes handling the matter.”
