Chapter 2766
by“Senior Sister Gao, why are you here？” Yang Kai was greatly shocked. As he spoke, he quietly looked outside. After confirming that no one had noticed, he closed the door of the Lingjian Hall.
Gao Xueting furrowed her brows and said, “What are you doing so furtively? What are your intentions?”
Yang Kai stared and said, “What intentions could I have? It’s you. After being confined by Senior Brother Qiu for three months, you actually still dare to run around. If Senior Brother Qiu finds out… he will definitely deduct your elder contributions until you die.”
Gao Xueting sneered and said, “That old bastard of his only confined me. He didn’t say to lock me in Zizhu Peak. In this Divine Palace, I can go wherever I want.”
“Is that okay?” Yang Kai was astonished again and again, mainly shocked by Gao Xueting’s address of the old bastard.
Yang Kai felt that he really had to re-understand Gao Xueting.
Gao Xueting sneered again and again： “Sooner or later, I will snatch away his position as the elder of the Punishment Hall… and let him taste what it’s like to have his elder contributions deducted and be confined.”
Yang Kai’s mood was somewhat delicately complicated. He didn’t know if his decision to agree to Gao Xueting to join Qingyang Divine Palace as a guest elder was correct.
The so-called rotten upper beam leads to crooked lower beams. He originally thought that Gao Xueting was a noble and holy woman, but now it seems that being raised by Wen Zishan and having her childhood memories severely damaged and her body and mind not growing up healthily, how noble and holy could such a person be？
The previous impression was just a disguised appearance. After truly getting to know her deeply, my three views are completely shattered…”
“By the way, Senior Sister Gao, what do you want from me？” Yang Kai didn’t want to discuss the matter of usurping power with her and quickly changed the topic.
“Hmm, there is something.” Gao Xueting nodded seriously. Then with a flip of her palm, a spatial ring appeared and was handed to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai took it suspiciously and swept his spiritual thoughts inside. Raising his eyebrows, he said, “So many emperor-level spiritual medicines. Could this be the benefit of becoming a temple elder？ The temple is really thoughtful. However, I have a lot of spiritual medicines here and don’t need these.”
Gao Xueting looked at him and said lightly, “You misunderstood. This is not your benefit. Spirit Sword Peak is your benefit. Hmm. If you want, you can also ask Junior Sister Chen Qian for some serving disciples to come to Spirit Sword Peak and manage the flowers and plants for you. This can also be regarded as a kind of benefit. As for these spiritual grasses…”
“What are they for？”
“To refine into spiritual pills by you.” Gao Xueting replied.
“Refine into spiritual pills？” Yang Kai’s face turned dark. “With so many emperor-level spiritual medicines, wouldn’t it be necessary to refine emperor pills？”
“That’s right, it is to refine emperor pills.” Gao Xueting nodded. “Our temple doesn’t have its own emperor pill master, but we have accumulated a lot of emperor-level spiritual medicines. It’s rare for you to join, so naturally they have to be handed over to you for processing.”
“Why me?” Yang Kai looked speechless.
Gao Xueting chuckled lightly and said, “The capable should be given more tasks. Back then, you refined the Taomiao Pill in the Four Seasons Land. Although many years have passed and perhaps others may not remember, as the leading elder, I remember this clearly. I’ve inquired and found that being able to refine the Taomiao Pill means you almost had the standard of an Emperor Dan Master at that time. After a few years, you should have made further progress in the Dao of Alchemy. If these spirit medicines are not given to you for disposal, who else can they be given to? Do you want our temple elders to chew on peonies and waste such precious things? Oh, by the way, the day before yesterday, you seemed to have opened a furnace to refine a batch of Emperor Pills on my Purple Bamboo Peak. Tsk tsk. It was refined successfully in just half a day. It’s really amazing. Although there are many medicinal materials here, I believe with your ability. After closing the door for a year and a half, you should be able to refine them all.”
Yang Kai was silent for a while and then said seriously, “Can I refuse？”
“Of course you can.” Gao Xueting nodded. “No one is forcing you in this matter.”
“Then I refuse！” Yang Kai returned the ring.
Gao Xueting took the ring, turned around and left. As she walked, she sighed and said, “Alas, I was kind enough to help but you don’t appreciate it. Forget it, forget it. I’m afraid you’ll never be able to enter the Divine Travel Mirror.”
Yang Kai immediately raised his hand and said, “Senior Sister, wait a moment！”
Gao Xueting turned around and looked at him with a smile, “What else does Junior Brother have to teach？”
Yang Kai clenched his fist and coughed lightly at his mouth, saying, “Senior Sister, if you didn’t mention the Divine Wander Mirror, I would have forgotten. A few days ago, I said I wanted to enter the Divine Wander Mirror, and you said someone was using it and couldn’t be easily disturbed. May I ask when I can go in？”
“Do you have Elder Contributions？” Gao Xueting countered.
“No.”
Gao Xueting sneered and said, “Two thousand points for one entry. You don’t even have Elder Contribution Points, and you still dream of entering the Divine Wander Mirror. You haven’t sobered up yet.”
“But last time you…”
“Last time you weren’t a Shrine Elder yet. Now that you are a Shrine Elder, naturally, it has to be done according to the rules. Otherwise, if anyone who wants to enter can enter, the experience in the Divine Wander Mirror won’t be that precious either.”
“Senior Sister, how can you do this？” Yang Kai was simply heartbroken.
Gao Xueting turned around and said earnestly, “Junior Brother, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. As the only Emperor Pill Master in our Shrine, you have to shoulder the responsibility of refining Emperor Pills for the Shrine.”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “Senior Sister, you tricked me into becoming a Shrine Elder a few days ago, and it turns out you had this plan. I’m so young, and you still have the heart to deceive me！”
Gao Xueting smiled and said, “When you refined the Supreme Wonderful Pill back then, I had this plan.”
“I was really blind…” Yang Kai was heartbroken as if a beautiful thing had been suddenly shattered and his heart was torn when he woke up from the dream, with a complaint of blood and tears on his face.
Gao Xueting said, “Don’t be angry. If you don’t want to refine pills, there is another way.”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “I hope Senior Sister can give me some advice！”
“Didn’t you say last time that the fifth disciple under the seat of the Wonderful Pill Great Emperor is the chief alchemist of your Lingxiao Palace? Since you have someone under your command, there is actually no need to do it yourself.”
“Hmm… This is indeed a good idea.” Yang Kai stroked his chin and thought about it.
After a while, Yang Kai had made a decision and said, “What’s the benefit？”
“One Emperor Pill, ten points of Elder Contribution！ As long as you can come up with two hundred Emperor Pills, you can enter the Divine Wanderer Mirror once.”
“Ridiculous！” Yang Kai jumped up and said, “Ten points of Elder Contribution is only ten thousand high-grade Source Crystals. Which Emperor Alchemist makes a move so cheaply？”
“Dammit！ Those bastards ruined my big plan and actually told you this exchange ratio too.” Gao Xueting’s face darkened, and she muttered resentfully.
Yang Kai had a black line on his face and said, “I can hear…”
Gao Xueting pouted and said, “So what do you want？”
“One Emperor Pill, one hundred points of Elder Contribution. It can be barely acceptable.”
One hundred points of Elder Contribution is one hundred thousand high-grade Source Crystals. Generally speaking, when an Emperor Alchemist refines a furnace of pills, it is impossible to only produce one pill. Basically, there are at least four or five pills. And the handling fee for an Emperor Alchemist outside to make a move and refine pills is at least five hundred thousand high-grade Source Crystals.
Yang Kai’s asking price is almost the same as the Divine Temple looking for an Emperor Alchemist from outside to refine pills.
“Twenty points！” Gao Xueting countered without hesitation.
“One hundred points！” Yang Kai refused to budge.
“In your dreams！”
“One hundred points it is！”
“At most thirty points！”
……
After a tough tug-of-war, with each side bargaining back and forth, it finally ended with Yang Kai conceding. They agreed on fifty points of elder contribution for one Emperor Pill, with no upper limit.
“Come on, sign this Soul Contract.” Gao Xueting flipped her hand, and a contract emitting a strange fluctuation appeared. It was precisely the Soul Contract produced by the Nether Ghost Palace. This thing was relatively common in the Eastern Region, but in the Southern Region, it was a thing with a price but no market. It was unknown where she got it from.
“Senior Sister, you’re looking down on me too much, aren’t you？ Although I’m young, I won’t go back on my word.” Yang Kai had an expression of being insulted.
“Just sign it.” Gao Xueting urged.
Yang Kai couldn’t resist her and could only brand his soul mark on the Soul Contract.
After the contract was signed, Gao Xueting immediately beamed with joy. She carefully put away the Soul Contract and reached out to pat Yang Kai on the shoulder, saying, “Junior Brother, from now on, Senior Sister’s happiness depends on you.”
These words made Yang Kai quite flattered. However, after a little thought, his face suddenly sank, and he said with a bitter voice, “Senior Sister, this is a mission given to you by Senior Brother Qiu, right？ How many elder contributions can you get for completing this mission？”
“The same as you.” Gao Xueting said without even raising her head.
“What do you mean the same as me？”
“The old bachelor offered me a hundred Elder Contributions for each Emperor Pill, asking me to persuade you to refine pills for the Divine Temple. I’ll give you fifty, and I’ll keep the other fifty for myself. Naturally, it’s the same as you！”
“Hehe hehe…” Yang Kai’s smile suddenly became extremely gloomy. “It’s really hard for you, Senior Sister, to tell me this news with such an indifferent face. You’re such a great person, Senior Sister. I’ll remember you.”
Gao Xueting said indifferently, “Young people, there are always many thorns on the path of growth. Learn from your mistakes and it will be better slowly in the future.”
“I really have to thank Senior Sister for your teachings！” Yang Kai squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, feeling the blood and Qi churning in his chest and his throat turning sweet.
Gao Xueting smiled sweetly and said, “Don’t forget, you signed the Soul Contract. Well, work hard. When you can enter the Divine Movement Jing depends on your progress here.” She turned around, stretched lazily, opened the door of the Spirit Sword Hall, looked up at the sky and said, “The weather is nice.”
With a flash of her delicate body, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.
Yang Kai covered his chest with his hand, looking in pain.
Half a day later, in a remote valley on the back mountain of the Spirit Sword Peak, Yang Kai held the Elder Jade Plate in his hand. With a thought, he mobilized the power of the earth veins and the restrictions of the Spirit Sword Peak to hide a corner of this valley.
With this move, even if an Emperor Realm cultivator were to come to this valley they wouldn’t be able to detect the clue of the hidden corner.
Yang Kai sighed and took out all kinds of materials from his spatial ring, preparing to set up a spatial array here.
He hadn’t originally planned to hide this, and had even intended to explain this matter to Wen Zishan, because once the Qingyang Divine Hall and the Lingxiao Palace were connected, it would bring huge benefits to both sects.
Hua Qingsi was currently collecting from the Northern Territory. When the time came as long as they were transported to the Southern Territory, they would surely make a huge profit. Correspondingly, if the Qingyang Divine Hall collects the supplies from the Southern Territory and sends them to the Northern Territory they would definitely be able to earn a considerable price difference.
Not to mention that by using the spatial array to connect the two places, the two sects could support each other.
