Chapter 629

In the huge stone chamber, Yang Kai sat cross-legged in front of a medicine cauldron the size of a water tank. He sent out his true essence and concentrated on depicting a simple spiritual array in the medicine cauldron.

Soon, the spiritual array took shape. According to a certain order, Yang Kai put one herb after another into the medicine cauldron, wrapped them with his true essence to melt them and extract their medicinal effects.

Soon, all these herbs were melted into liquid medicine and gathered into a mass. Under the dual action of the spiritual array and Yang Kai’s true essence, a gratifying and subtle change was taking place.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the medicinal cauldron, and Yang Kai’s spirit became even more focused.

After a long time, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, his hand trembled, and his true essence surged. A round, greenish-yellow pill shot out from the medicinal cauldron and was caught by Yang Kai in his hand.

The pill was still a little warm. He took a sniff, and a refreshing fragrance entered his nose. After feeling the quality of the pill, Yang Kai nodded slightly.

Top-grade Earth Grade！

With his current experience and methods, he could easily refine top-grade Earth Grade pills.

He placed the refined pill into a jade bottle beside him, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breath slightly. Then he started to refine pills again.

In the stone room where he lived, a large number of medicinal materials were piled up. All these medicinal materials were provided by the demons here. As long as Yang Kai concentrated on refining pills, he didn’t have to worry about the source of materials at all.

So he didn’t have the slightest intention of being impatient. Although he was captured here by the Coffin Carrier, and although the beautiful woman had said that the problem was very serious, Yang Kai still felt a little complacent.

He had the idea of calmly studying the art of alchemy before, but he was short of funds and couldn’t buy medicinal materials. He had only practiced for ten days in Du’ao City.

Now that he had such good conditions, it was equivalent to the benefits sent by the demons. Naturally, he wasn’t in a hurry to go out. Moreover, he couldn’t go out even if he wanted to.

He knew more or less. The beautiful woman Li Daren he had seen before, as well as that cold and glamorous woman, that old man, Chu Jian and others. They were all Saint Realm experts.

In the face of such powerful people, Yang Kai wouldn’t look for trouble for himself.

Calmly refining pills and improving his pill-refining skills, not only did Yang Kai find pleasure in pill-refining, but he also used pill-refining to temper himself. His own strength and state of mind also steadily increased along with the improvement of his pill-refining skills, and the effect was gratifying.

The young girl Guan’er was the one responsible for monitoring Yang Kai’s movements. She had been staying several hundred zhang away from Yang Kai, taking in all of his performances during this period.

Seeing that Yang Kai had refined another pill, Guan’er couldn’t help but look excited. She gently clenched her fist, as if that pill also had her contribution.

The air beside her distorted again. Guan’er’s expression changed, and she quickly tidied up her appearance.

Not long after. The beautiful woman Li Daren appeared, and this time, it wasn’t just her alone. The cold and glamorous woman and the old man also came with her.

“Greetings to the three adults！” Guan’er quickly saluted.

The three of them nodded slightly and observed Yang Kai from a distance for a while. Then the beautiful woman Li Daren spoke asked, “How has he progressed during this period?”

“Very good.” Guan’er’s pretty face was serious. “It’s really unbelievable. He seems to have great talent in alchemy. Guan’er can confirm that he really hasn’t been in contact with alchemy much before, but in less than a month. He can easily refine top-grade Earth-level pills. In a few more days, I think he should be able to refine Heaven-level ones.”

“So powerful？” The beautiful eyes of Lady Li lit up, showing an expectant look.

The last time she came here. After a long talk with Yang Kai, although she was quite satisfied with his attitude, when Lady Li heard that he had just come into contact with alchemy, she couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

Among the dozen or so people with the fire of spiritual consciousness who were caught in before, there were also some who couldn’t refine pills. And without exception, even if they were given ten years. Their achievements and attainments in alchemy were also horrible.

So at that time, Lady Li didn’t have much hope for Yang Kai either, thinking that he would be the same as those before.

But now after hearing Guan’er’s evaluation, Lady Li couldn’t help but be a little delighted.

This person seems to be very different from all the previous ones.

“Lady Li, if he progresses at this speed, within ten years, he may not be unable to refine Saint-level pills！” The old man stroked his goatee, nodded slightly, and the wrinkled face was also filled with an expectant look.

“His performance is indeed reassuring, but now, there is still a problem in front of us…” The cold and beautiful woman said.

When she said this, both Lord Li and the old man couldn’t help but look gloomy.

“What’s the problem?” Wan’er askedfeel uncertain, looking at the expressions of the three adults it seemed that the problem was very serious.

Lord Li smiled bitterly and replied softly, “It’s a problem of materials. Although the small profound realm where we live is not small in area, the materials produced are limited, and after so many years of collection and use, the output is not as good as before. I don’t know if the materials we have are enough to cultivate him into a saint-level alchemist. If not…”

Wan’er suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

That outsider needs to use a large number of countless medicinal materials to practice and enrich his experience and alchemy techniques in order to grow, which is inevitable.

The demons believe in their own physical strength, and because of the magic energy in their bodies, they basically don’t make alchemy. When they collect medicinal materials, they also directly chew and take them, and the effect is minimal.

In this regard, many demons are quite envious that humans have the profession of alchemist, and they will also spend a lot of money to buy pills from humans.

And over the countless years, the demons living here have also eaten a lot of medicinal materials. Although Lord Li and the others have purposefully cultivated some medicine fields, the medicinal materials produced are still in short supply.

“Then what should we do？” Wan’er was a little flustered. Now that we have finally seen a glimmer of hope, it would be a pity if all the plans fall short because of the lack of materials.

“Can we ask Senior Coffin Slave to bring in some medicinal materials from the outside world？” Guan’er put forward a suggestion.

Lady Li shook her head sadly： “Senior Coffin Slave is already dead. Only a single obsession supports the movement of his body, which is to travel throughout the north and south of Tongxuan to find someone with the fire of spiritual consciousness. We can’t communicate with him.”

The old man pondered for a while and then said： “Over the past hundred years, Chu Jian has never offered medicinal materials to Demon God Castle. He should have a good stockpile over there！”

“Target him？” The cold and beautiful woman’s eyes shrank. “He won’t listen to you properly.”

“Lady Li is the master of Demon God Castle. All the Demon God disciples have to obey her orders. If Chu Jian dares not to listen, that would be rebellion！”

The cold and beautiful woman sneered： “It’s not the first day or two that he wants to rebel.”

Lady Li took a deep breath, and her plump breasts rose and fell, showing a thrilling curve： “Let’s not worry about Chu Jian for now. The medicinal materials are still enough to support us for a few days. When there are really none left, we’ll talk about these things.”

The cold and beautiful woman and the old man looked at each other and slowly shook their heads, thinking that Lady Li was still as kind as ever.

Her kindness was not at all what a person of the Demon Race should possess.

“Guan’er, you continue to stay here and take care of him. If he has any requests, as long as they are not too excessive, all should be satisfied unconditionally.” Lady Li gave an order.

“Okay, I understand.” Guan’er quickly replied.

The beautiful woman took another distant look at Yang Kai. Just as she was about to leave with the cold and beautiful woman and the old man, Yang Kai over there seemed to have someInduction, and also cast his gaze over. Then he grinned and loudly shouted: “You’ve come just in time. I have something to say.

Lady Li smiled slightly. With a flicker of her figure along with the cold and beautiful woman and the old man, she came to Yang Kai’s and gently asked: “What’s the matter?”

Yang Kai didn’t answer but instead his eyes rolled around randomly.

The old man’s expression turned cold and he shouted: “Human, take back your filthy gaze. Otherwise, this old man will teach you what proper etiquette is.

Yang Kai smiled in surprise and said： “I was just thinking about how to address you.”

Lady Li was stunned. It took a while for her to smile and say： “My name is Li Rong.” Then, pointing to the cold and beautiful woman and the old man, she introduced： “This is Han Fei and Hua Mo. You know Guan’er. As for how to address us, it’s up to you. You can call us seniors or directly by our names. After all, we are in a cooperative relationship now.”

“Han Fei…” Yang Kai took a few more glances at the cold and beautiful woman and nodded slightly： “As expected, the name suits the person.”

Hua Mo couldn’t help but have a strange expression, while Han Fei looked at Yang Kai coldly and said icily： “Aren’t you afraid of me？ If this sentence were said by someone else, then he would be a corpse by now.”

No one could evaluate her like this.

Yang Kai shook his head. “I feel a bit of familiarity with you.”

A group of Demon God Disciples couldn’t help but open their mouths wide.

“Don’t get me wrong. I just know a woman with a similar temperament to yours, and people like you are generally cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Hehe.” As Yang Kai said this, the appearance of Su Yan couldn’t help but emerge in his mind.

This evaluation seemed to bea bit too much for Han Fei to bear. A hint of an unnatural expression quietly emerges on her flawless pretty face. Just as she was about to flare up, Yang Kai said, “Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about business.”

“What do you want to say？” Li Rong asked.

“Since we are in a cooperative relationship, I won’t beat around the bush. To be honest, I know you are hiding something from me, but here, I can study alchemy without worry, and I won’t ask about the things you are hiding. It can be considered as each taking what they need.”

Li Rong nodded slightly and didn’t deny it.

As the owner of the Demon God Castle, she naturally wouldn’t tell Yang Kai, an outsider, all the things. Some concealment was also taken for granted.

“But if you want me to grow up faster, you have to pay a higher price. After all, “I’m being under house here by you. It makes me a bit uncomfortable to work for you without reaping some benefits.” Yang Kai grinned.

“You still want to reap benefits？” Hua Mo snorted. “Human, don’t push your luck. We haven’t restricted your freedom, which is the greatest tolerance for you.”
