Chapter 2807

Yang Kai’s expression turned solemn when he saw this. Although this move seemed simple, it also demonstrated the old man’s perfect control of power.

He originally thought that with his cooperation with Die, even if they were not a match for this old man, at least they could cause him some trouble. But now it seems that he was taking it for granted. The strength of this old man… is simply unfathomable.

If he really had malicious intentions towards himself, even if he and Die joined forces, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be enough for him to blow a breath.

And at this moment, the old man was obviously very interested in the medicine prepared by Yang Kai. After sniffing for a while and not being satisfied, he even dug out a little and put it in his mouth to taste. Immediately, his eyebrows raised and he turned to look at Yang Kai and said, “Was this medicine configured by you？”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “That’s right！”

“Not bad healing medicine.” The old man didn’t stint in his praise. “However, it cannot be used frequently. If used too much, I’m afraid it will cause some damage to the foundation.”

He could see the drawbacks of this healing medicine at a glance. After all, Yang Kai had prepared this medicine with only very ordinary and common herbs. Logically speaking, it didn’t have such a powerful healing effect. However, it could stimulate the vitality in the blood of the barbarians and make the self-healing speed faster. The same was true for the Bloodthirsty Technique. Once or twice was okay, but if it was used too frequently, it would definitely damage the foundation and make people age faster.

But this wasn’t a big problem either. After all, it was an external injury medicine, and no one would use it frequently.

“I didn’t expect that the alchemists nowadays are so powerful.” Obviously interested in that healing medicine, the old man held the stone pot and began to identify the medicinal materials used in it.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Kai pulled Die aside and quietly asked, “This old man, who on earth is he？”

Die smiled and said, “Didn’t Grandpa Qing tell you？”

Yang Kai shook his head.

Die said, “Since Grandpa Qing didn’t say anything, then I can’t say either.”

Yang Kai stretched out his hand and said, “Quickly return the Qing Coins you earned during this period to me.”

Die was shocked and jumped back a step vigilantly antly, staring and saying, “You can’t, that’s mine.

Yang Kai sneered and said, “It seems that you want your little secret to be known to everyone.”

Being pinched by the throat, Die couldn’t help but grit her teeth and looked at Yang Kai with contempt, saying, “Dammit, despicable. Shameless…”

Yang Kai sneered： “Come up with some fresh insults！”

“The young man already has a guess in his heart. Why make things difficult for this little girl? Just then, the old man put down the stone jar in his hand and turned his head with a smile.

Yang Kai frowned. Took a deep breath, and the light of shock in his eyes couldn’t be hidden as he slowly said： “Although I have a guess, I dare not be sure.”

The old man smiled and said： “What you think in your heart is what the truth is.”

Yang Kai was shocked. Looking at the old man in horror, he said in a deep voice： “Old man, you really are… the Evergreen Divine Tree？”

This old man appeared mysteriously in his tree hole, and Die called him Grandpa Qing. With Yang Kai’s careful thinking, if he couldn’t associate something, that would be strange. However, although he had some ideas, he really didn’t dare to believe it.

The old man slightly waved his hand： “Divine Tree and such are just exaggerations of me by the Frost and Snow Tribe. Many years ago, I was just an ordinary evergreen tree.”

This many years probably dates back to thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago…

Seeing that he admitted it, Yang Kai was rather relieved. Thinking about it, it is said that the tree hole of this Evergreen Divine Tree can’t even be barged into by Witch Kings and Witch Saints. The other party suddenly appeared in his tree hole. Besides the Evergreen Divine Tree itself, who else in this world can do it？

Because of this, Yang Kai wasn’t too worried. He had lived in the Frost Snow Tribe for such a long time. Although he didn’t communicate much with others, he had heard many legends about the Evergreen Divine Tree. This was a tree of peace and a tree of protection. Naturally, it wouldn’t have any malicious intentions towards him.

“Senior Qing, please forgive me. Just now, this junior spoke arrogantly and was disrespectful. Senior is magnanimous. I hope you won’t care with this junior. “Yang Kai solemnly clasped.

Qing hehe laughed and said, “There’s no need for that. Since Die has been taken care of by you, how could I blame you?”

Yang Kai wondered, “Senior and Die…”

One was the Evergreen Divine Tree, and the other was a barbarian from the Floating Tribe. The two seemed to have no relationship at all. But in fact, Die seemed to be very familiar with Qing, and even called Qing grandpa.

“Sixteen years ago, someone abandoned a baby girl under the tree！” Qing didn’t explain too much, just said one sentence and gently patted Die’s head.

Die doesn’t seem to care either, just hehe laughed and enjoyed the rare doting.

Yang Kai understood. It seemed that Die was completely raised by Qing. That intimate address was also understandable. And the illusion technique that Die used was probably also the protection of Qing.

Yang Kai had been curious before. What kind of witchcraft did Die use to change her petite figure into a burly appearance? After all, she was just a green leaf. But now it seemed that it wasn’t the witchcraft that Die used, but the power of Qing.

Under the Evergreen Divine Tree, the Green Energy dominates everything. It is effortless for it to bestow a green leaf containing mysterious power to Butterfly and cover her true appearance.

“Grandpa Green, didn’t you just wake up last year? Why did you wake up so soon again?” Butterfly asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Green’s gaze turned towards Yang Kai and said, “I sense a familiarsmell…”

He had said so before, but Yang Kai didn’t believe it. Now that he said it for the second time, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t doubt it anymore.

“A familiar aura？” Die also turned her head curiously and looked at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s heart moved. He thought to himself that it couldn’t be the aura of the Tree of Immortality, could it？ If there was any aura that could make Qing feel familiar, it would undoubtedly be the Tree of Immortality. The Tree of Immortality was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. Although it had some differences from the Evergreen Divine Tree, after all, they were both trees.

But this doesn’t quite make sense either. The Everlasting Tree is still in the Mysterious Realm Pearl, and there shouldn’t be any leakage of its aura.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Yang Kai didn’t know how to explain much. The secret of the Everlasting Tree was known to very few people.

Qing seriously looked at Yang Kai for a while and shook his head, saying, “Strange, this aura seems to be of the same origin as mine, yet it’s very different.” As he spoke, he fell into thought, as if thinking about something, and his expression kept changing.

Yang Kai and Die looked at each other with wide eyes and didn’t dare to disturb the old man. They could only wait boredly.

After a full half a day, Qing suddenly came back to his senses and sneered, “I’m old. I almost fell asleep again.” Although he was old, in fact, most of the time he was in a deep sleep. This awakening was also a coincidence.

Die immediately acted coquettishly and said, “Grandpa Qing is not old at all.”

Qing smiled slightly and said, “Since I’m awake anyway, little Die’er, help Grandpa scratch the itch. My body is not feeling well again.”

“Okay, okay.” Die’s eyes immediately lit up as if she had picked up money. She turned her head and looked at Yang Kai and said, “Wu Niu, do you want to come too?”

Yang Kai looked blank, thinking that even scratching the itch required help？ But considering Qing’s advanced age, he didn’t have the nerve to refuse. He could only give full play to the fine virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, walked forward, stood behind Qing, and reached out to scratch him.

Die was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Qing also couldn’t help but smile.

“What are you laughing at?” Yang Kai glared at Die with a displeased expression. He was so hardworking, and this guy was actually laughing and with a mocking face. It was simply too abominable.

Die was laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. She bent over and said, “When scratching Grandpa Qing’s itch, it’s not like this…”

“Teach me！” Yang Kai took a step back and gestured to Die.

Die stopped laughing, but there was still an uncontrollable smile on her face. She looked at Qing and said, “Grandpa Qing, start.”

Qing nodded, reaching out and pointing forward. Surprisingly, the not-so-spacious tree hole suddenly split open, revealing a dark passage. No one knew where it led.

Die said to Yang Kai, “Come with me！”

As she spoke, she walked into the passage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yang Kai didn’t suspect anything and directly followed.

The moment he entered the passage, his body involuntarily slid down, as if there was a slide beneath him, carrying him to an unknown area.

A moment later, when Yang Kai’s feet touched the ground, Die, who had come one step earlier, had already cast a lighting spell to dispel the darkness in the surrounding space. Then, she pointed around and said, The reason why Grandpa Qing feels itchy is because of their existence, and our task is to clean them up!

Just as she finished speaking, a pair of red eyes suddenly lit up all around.

Yang Kai looked up and was greatly surprised. “So many demonic beasts！”

Die said, “They are all parasites on Grandpa Qing. Their reproduction speed is extremely fast. I used to come and clean them up once a year. This time, with your help, it can be considered a bargain for you.”

Yang Kai wondered, “You also said that I came to help. Where is there any bargain？”

Die pursed her lips and smiled. “I saw that you recently bought many inner elixirs of barbarian beasts, seemingly for cultivation. With so many barbarian beasts here, don’t you have any ideas？”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up. It was truly a case of ‘at the end of one’s rope, suddenly a new path appears’. His healing medicines could no longer be sold, and he was worried about how to earn Green Coins to buy Inner Cores. Unexpectedly, a chance was right in front of him immediately.

Inside Qing’s main body, it was like a great world. And in this world countless parasitic Demonic Insects survived by drawing on Qing’s power and grew extremely fast. It could almost be said that each of these Demonic Insects with different sizes and appearances was an Inner Core.

While the two were talking, the Demonic Insects around them could no longer hold back and swam out of their hiding places one after another, making a hissing sound as they surrounded the two.

In an instant, Yang Kai and Die seemed to have fallen into a world of Demonic Insects, surrounded layer upon layer.

“First, it’s agreed that whatever one kills belongs to oneself. Don’t snatch mine later！” Die vigilantly reminded Yang Kai. When she raised her hand, three piercing air currents had already attacked forward.

As soon as she made a move, Yang Kai felt a powerful fluctuation of strength.

Great Wizard！ Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised. He never expected that Die, who had been working hard and being driven by him to sell medicines during this period, was actually a Great Wizard. Although he couldn’t sense her specific rank, her such strength was definitely not something a Wizard could display.
