Chapter Index

Why? Any barbarian would probably not let go of such a good thing, but why did it fall on her head?

“Because I don’t know anyone else.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders and smiled: “And with the handle in hand, I’m not afraid that you will embezzle my property.”

Die’s mouth twitched slightly. This statement was indeed correct. As long as this Wu Niu in front of her still held her weakness, she couldn’t do anything unfavorable to the other party.

However, with one tenth of the benefits, all these things were insignificant.

After seeing Die off, Yang Kai immediately went to Frost Snow City, found a store he had taken a fancy to before, and spent a large amount of green coins to buy many inner cores.

The accumulation during this period had already allowed him to have sufficient financial resources to buy inner cores to support his own cultivation, so he needed someone to help him sell the medicine. After all, selling medicine was also quite a waste of time.

Returning to the tree hole again, Yang Kai held an inner core the size of a longan in his hand and let out a soft breath.

The snowball in the early stage had already started to roll. As long as he bought some inner cores every day and refined them, until this winter passed, he would surely be able to advance to a wizard. Yang Kai firmly believed this.

Swallowing that inner core into his abdomen, Yang Kai circulated his cultivation method. Soon, the sound of rolling thunder came from his abdomen, and his own aura expanded at a visible speed.

In the afternoon, Die returned after selling the medicine, obediently handed over 90% of the income obtained, and then received new potions from Yang Kai to prepare for selling the next day. And just after not seeing him for only half a day, Die was a little surprised to find that the Wu Niu in front of her was actually a middle-grade Wu Shi!

When she saw him in the morning, he was clearly just a low-grade Wu Shi. How could he become a middle-grade one in just half a day?

However, even though she was suspicious and not in her heart, Die didn’t ask too many questions. Everyone had their own secrets, and prying into the bottom was not a wise approach, especially since her little secret was still in Yang Kai’s hands.

The two of them cooperated seamlessly.

Yang Kai would spend some time each day refining medicinal agents and going out to buy inner elixirs, while Die was in charge of selling and also buying back materials.

Time passed in the blink of an eye for a month.

And within this one month, Yang Kai’s cultivation had made another breakthrough. The refinement of over a dozen inner elixirs every day allowed his strength to grow rapidly, and now he was already a top-grade Wu Shi! As long as there was a sufficient supply of inner elixirs, he could definitely reach the realm of Wu Shi very quickly and possess his own spiritual sense.

At that time, he would completely get rid of the current predicament.

However, beautiful wishes always have some twists and turns.

On this day, Die didn’t return from selling the medicine until evening. After entering Yang Kai’s tree hole, she put the stone jar in her hand in front of her.

Yang Kai asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you sell them all?”

Previously, the medicinal agents he refined every day were all sold out completely, and this was the first time there was any left.

Die said weakly, “Probably those who should have bought have already bought. Didn’t you notice that I’ve been coming back later and later these days?”

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he found that it was indeed the case.

He had been in cultivation these days, single-minded on improving his Wu realm and didn’t pay much attention to Die’s situation. Now that she mentioned it, he realized that what she said was true. At the beginning, she only needed half a day to sell out all the medicinal agents he refined, but as time went by, the time she needed became longer and longer.

Until today, she didn’t return until evening. And this healing medicine wasn’t even sold out.

“Is the market saturated…” Yang Kai stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Although Frost Snow City is not small and the number of barbarian warriors is also quite a lot, after more than a month of continuous selling, the market here has also begun to shrink. After all, it is not easy for barbarian warriors to earn green coins. A healing medicine worth ten green coins, although they have no pressure to pay for it, they will not buy it without limit.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should keep one on their body for backup. When it is consumed, they will come to buy a new one.

So the longer the time, the lower the purchasing power of the barbarians in Frost Snow City.

After figuring this out, Yang Kai nodded and said, “Take a rest. Go and sell it again tomorrow.”

Butterfly naturally had no objection. More than a month of getting along had made her gradually familiar with Yang Kai, and there was no longer the previous vigilance and fear of him. She turned around and left.

Inside the tree cave, Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed. Since the market was saturated, the healing medicine he configured would be more and more difficult to sell. If the medicine was difficult to sell, there would be no enough green coins to buy inner elixirs, which would inevitably delay his cultivation plan.

But after thinking about it, he didn’t have any good way to improve the current situation. Unless there was another city similar to Frost Snow City for him to display. But in this cold winter day, where else in the entire barbarian race was there a second Frost Snow City?

Sure enough, things were just as Yang Kai expected. In the following days, the healing medicine became more and more difficult to sell. The amount that Yang Kai refined every day, Die might not be able to sell one-third of it even after spending a whole day, and the sales were shrinking day by day.

And the inner elixirs he could buy every day were also getting fewer and fewer. Although the wizard realm was within sight, without enough inner elixirs to support him, he could only sigh helplessly.

In the current situation, he could only take one step at a time. First, consume the inner elixirs in his hand, and then make plans when the time comes.

One day, Yang Kai was in the midst of cultivation when he suddenly felt something strange. It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.

This made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Since the cultivation was at a critical juncture, Yang Kai didn’t want to cause more trouble. He originally thought it was just an illusion, but unexpectedly, the feeling of being stared at became more and more obvious.

Opening his eyes in a hurry, Yang Kai’s eyes immediately narrowed as he looked at a figure standing not far in front of him.

This person was an old man. He didn’t have the kind of burly body that was common among the barbarians At his age he looked as if he was about to die. His hair and beard were all white, and he just stood there quietly, with a smile on his lips, looking at Yang Kai with great interest.

On the surface, Yang Kai remained calm, but deep in his heart, the alarm bells were ringing loudly.

How is this possible! The place where he lives is the tree hole of the Evergreen Divine Tree! Protected by this Evergreen Divine Tree, without his own permission, even as powerful as a Witch King or Witch Saint couldn’t get in, yet the old man in front of him appeared soundlessly in front of his eyes.

How could such a thing happen!

However, since the other party didn’t show any malicious intent, Yang Kai didn’t make too much of a fuss either, but just stared at him quietly.

In the tree hole, with their eyes meeting, the old man didn’t rush to speak either, but looked at Yang Kai with a scrutinizing taste, nodding slightly from time to time.

Yang Kai was a little creeped out by his gaze and finally couldn’t help but speak: “Old man, you barged into a private residence. What’s your intention?”

“Barged into a private residence?” The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with great interest: “That’s an interesting statement, but my appearance here doesn’t really count as barging into a private residence!”

Yang Kai sneered: “This tree hole is the place where I live. Barging in without my permission is barging into a private residence. I see that you’re already quite old, perhaps your mind is a bit unclear. Leave quickly while this Witch is still easy to talk to, otherwise, if this Witch gets angry, don’t say that I don’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young.”

The old man smiled slightly: “What? Are you going to hit someone?”

Yang Kai said, “Applying force when necessary is also one of the ways to solve problems.”

The old man pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. “What you said makes sense. I didn’t expect that you, despite your young age, have some insights.”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Yang Kai waved his hand. “If you don’t leave, I’ll be rude.”

The old man quickly said, “Don’t be excited, don’t be excited. I just woke up suddenly and noticed a familiarsmell, so I came over to take a look. I have no malicious towards you.

Yang Kai snorted disdainfully. “Even a jackal is very kind to poultry.”

The old man smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain.

Just then, there was a knocking sound outside the tree hole. Yang Kai turned his head and saw Die standing outside. His heart rejoiced, and he quickly let Die in.

Although he had never really fought against Die, the relationship of these days had made him know that Die was definitely a powerful great witch with a much higher realm than he himself. The reason why he was able to knock her down with one punch last time was also because she was too underestimating the enemy. If she really used her witchcraft, he might not be her opponent now.

He didn’t know how she had cultivated at such a young age.

No matter what the origin of this old man was, since he appeared inexplicably in his tree hole, Yang Kai had to treat him as an enemy. He was originally worried that he alone was not his opponent, but now that Die had come, it would be easy to handle.

Two against one, even if they were still no match, at least they could make some noise and let the people of the Frost Snow Tribe know.

Die, not knowing the situation, rushed in and said disappointedly, “I didn’t sell anything today…”

As she spoke, she put down the stone pot in her hand.

And the next moment, Die’s eyes widened and she stared in astonishment at the white-haired old man in the tree hole.

Yang Kai winked at her fiercely, but Die ignored him and stared blankly ahead. Soon, a surprised expression appeared on her face and she opened her mouth and called out, “Grandpa Qing, why are you here! Are you here to look for me?”

As she spoke, she actually rushed forward, affectionately grabbing the old man’s arm and smiling sweetly.

Yang Kai was instantly stunned on the spot, and then shivered violently, with goosebumps all over his body…

If Die said such lines in a normal appearance and put on such an affectionate face, it would be nothing. The coquetry of a beautiful girl is naturally pleasing to the eye.

But now she is a big, burly man with a hulking back and a thick waist.

This sudden action made Yang Kai wish he could blind his own eyes, feeling that the trauma brought by a full blow from a Wu Saint inside and outside his body was even greater…

On the contrary, the old man smiled slightly and said, “Why are you here? Do you know each other?”

A somewhat unnatural expression emerged on Die’s face. Obviously, she recalled the scene when she first met Yang Kai. However, she still nodded and said crisply, “We know each other. During this period of time, we have been cooperating to sell medicine and have earned a lot of green coins.”

“Selling medicine?” When the old man heard this, his gaze swept over those stone jars. Immediately, an interested expression appeared on his face. With a flick of his hand, without any fluctuation of power coming from his body, one of the stone jars flew into his hand and he carefully examined it.
