Chapter 695

To have such amazing alchemy skills without the guidance of a teacher, if, like himself, he was taught by the person in front of him for more than ten years, to what extent would he grow？

“In my opinion, he should have taught himself through some ancient books and manuscripts left by predecessors.” The old man casually speculated, but it was infinitely close to the truth.

“Teacher, I’m very depressed！” Zhai Yao hung his head, seemingly listless.

“Hehe, you don’t have to be like this.” The old man smiled gently. “There are always one or two people in this world with peerless talents. He belongs to this kind of person. Although no one taught him, his control over spirit arrays and true yuan, as well as the preparation of medicinal materials, all have his own insights. He is a very good seedling.

“Alas.” Zhai Yao let out a heavy sigh. “Teacher, it’s only been a little over a year since I came out of the Great Wilderness, and I’ve already lost to two different people. The last failure was a matter of course. After all, the opponent’s physique was different, but this time I really lost a bit muddled.”

Originally, it was a confident competition, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, Yang Kai actually refined a dan pattern, leaving him defeated.

“Now you know what it means that there is always someone better outside the sky and someone stronger outside the person.” The old man said in a deep voice.

Zhai Yao nodded heavily： “Don’t worry, teacher. From now on, the disciple will definitely study alchemy more attentively and will never disappoint the teacher’s expectations.”

The old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

However, a glimmer of sharp light flashed deep in his eyes. There was something he didn’t’d tell his apprentice.

From the elixirs that Zhai Yao brought back this time, the old man detected some familiar traces. Those were the traces of the spirit array techniques engraved by the alchemist during the process of refining the elixirs.

This trace seems to be somewhat similar to the technique of that little girl who defeated Zhai Yao a year ago.

Is there any relationship between the two？ The old man thought deeply, and was extremely curious about Yang Kai in his heart, and couldn’t help but have the idea of seeing him.

Two days later, Cang Yan and the others finally returned. When Yang Kai saw them again, he found that the complexions of these uncles were not very good.

After taking a sip of tea and resting for a while. Li Wan sighed heavily： “It seems that we underestimated the temptation of the Thousand-Year Demon Flower to Transcendent Realm powerhouses. This matter is a bit difficult to handle.”

“What’s wrong？” Yang Kai asked suspiciously.

“There are too many people. Now there are at least a hundred Transcendent Realm powerhouses gathered on that mountain, all waiting for the bloom of the Thousand-Year Demon Flower. When that day really comes, this number is afraid going to triple.” Cang Yan took a deep breath.

Yang Kai’s face changed.

Three hundred Transcendent Realm powerhouses, even if only one tenth of them are Transcendent Third-Order Realm, there are still thirty or so.

Although the strength of Cang Yan and the others is not weak, and their realm is definitely not low. But in such an environment, it is still very difficult to escort Yang Kai to climb Wangtian Cliff and monopolize the Thousand-Year Demon Flower.

Maybe it will be a result of total annihilation.

A talent like Yang Kai is rare. Cang Yan and the others also have to consider whether to take this risk. If they can’t afford the consequences, it’s best to leave Floating Cloud City now.

“Can we find someone to cooperate with？” Yang Kai’s expression moved, and he proposed.

“Who to cooperate with？” Cang Yan slowly shook his head. “Everyone is here for the Millennium Demon Flower. It’s not realistic to cooperate with anyone. If we cooperate, it means we have to divide the liquid medicine of the Millennium Demon Flower. There are four of us here. No one knows how much liquid medicine the Millennium Demon Flower can condense. In case there isn’t enough to divide at that time, there will be disputes again.”

“If there are people who don’t care about the liquid medicine of the Millennium Demon Flower, we can cooperate with them, right？” Yang Kai asked with a smile.

“There is no such person.”

“There is.”

“You mean that kid？” Fei Yu thought for a while and understood who Yang Kai was talking about.

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded.

“Which kid, what’s the situation？” Li Wan shouted. “During the few days we were away, did you not stay in the inn？”

“Uh. This is a small matter.” Fei Yu quickly changed the topic. “We did indeed encounter a very interesting little guy.”

“Tell us about it.” Cang Yan became interested.

Yang Kai immediately told them what had happened after meeting Zhai Yao. Several uncles and masters were all amazed. To be able to make Zhou Liang, a Saint Realm powerhouse, treat him with such courtesy and even expel his mistress, this Zhai Yao’s identity must be extraordinary.

Moreover, he is not Zhou Liang’s guest. He is the guest of the demonic powerhouse Aogu! Zhou Liang, who is a human race, stands up for him. This is even more thought-provoking.

Although they haven’t met, after listening to Yang Kai’s description, everyone seems to see a huge and heavy shadow lurking behind Zhai Yao.

“Believable？” Cang Yan asked heavily.

“I believe him.” Yang Kai nodded.

“To be honest, I also believe him. This little guy is not bad.” Fei Yu pursed her lips and smiled.

“Since you all say so, then it’s believable.” Cang Yan nodded heavily. “The other party also wants to cooperate with you, right？”

“That’s what he said.”

“It seems that the other party is not sure to climb Wangtian Cliff under the gaze of many powerhouses. In that case, it’s better to go and talk to him. It’s also good for everyone to get what they need.” Cang Yan’s eyes narrowed, shining brightly. “However, if he doesn’t go for the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower, then what for？ This point must be found out clearly. It’s not that I judge the gentleman’s heart with the villain’s heart. It’s just that the heart of preventing others cannot be without.”

“Then shall I go to the City Lord’s Mansion to talk to him？” Yang Kai asked. He also cared very much about some words Zhai Yao had said before. This guy seemed to know a secret that others didn’t know, and he didn’t know where he inquired about it.

Moreover, Yang Kai wanted to know even more what the power behind Zhai Yao was.

Zhou Liang couldn’t be so polite and take care of a young man for no reason. The only explanation was that there was someone behind Zhai Yao, and Zhou Liang wanted to please that person behind him.

If Yang Kai’s speculation is correct, this person should be Zhou Liang’s teacher. At this moment, he should also be a guest in the City Lord’s Mansion！

This person must be a top-notch alchemy master. It will be beneficial for Yang Kai to talk to such a person.

With the permission of several Martial Uncles, Yang Kai and Fei Yu left the inn and walked towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

They had just walked a short distance when an old man and a young girl came towards them. The old man was Du Wan, and the young girl was naturally Mi Na. Mi Na skipped over, said a few words to Fei Yu, and then kept looking at Yang Kai with a pair of beautiful eyes, asking in surprise, “Who is this pretty boy？”

Yang Kai’s face darkened： “What do you think？”

Mi Na couldn’t help covering her mouth and looked at Yang Kai in shock, pointing at him with her soft fingers and saying, “You… why are you…”

Suddenly remembering, she clapped her hands and said, “Oh right, it was Elder Du who gave you that thing. I almost forgot.”

While speaking, she stretched out her hand and pinched Yang Kai’s face, marveling in surprise.

Elder Du and Fei Yu stood aside with smiles on their faces and didn’t mean to stop her.

“You bastard, you caused such a big stir as soon as you came to Floating Cloud City. You really can’t stay anywhere.” Mi Na giggled and played with Yang Kai’s fair face, looking excited.

“You’ve heard about it？” Fei Yu looked at Mi Na with a pair of bright eyes and asked.

“Well, the whole Floating Cloud City knows about it.” Mina nodded slightly and continued to knead Yang Kai, as if she had found some new toy.

Yang Kai became angry and said sinisterly： “If you knead it again, I will fight back. Little girl, don’t push your luck！”

As he said this, he looked at her plump and straight breasts with great meaning and the gaze was full of lecherous and evil flavors.

Mina immediately stepped back, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and gritted her teeth and said angrily： “Rogue.”

“Elder Du, where are you going？” Yang Kai ignored this crazy girl and turned to look at Du Wan and asked.

“There is a pill refining competition on the square over there. It is held by the Alchemist Association. I am going to take Mina to participate. Since we rarely come out, of course I want her to gain some knowledge. and suddenly asked expectantly: “Does Little Friend Yang want to participate? Although the registration time has passed, if I recommend it, there will be no problem in participating.”

“Go, go. They are all young people. If you go, you can also earn some glory for our Boulder City Alchemist Association！” Mina said eagerly.

Yang Kai pinched his nose and sneered： “Elder Du, you made a special detour here, right？”

Du Wan smiled hehe： “Was it seen through by Little Friend Yang？”

There was no reason for Du Wan and the others to pass by this way by chance. When Yang Kai and Fei Yu were strolling in the trading area that day, Yang Kai also heard about this alchemy competition and knew that the competition venue was not in this direction.

After all, due to the matter of the Millennium Demon Flower, countless alchemists had gathered in Floating Cloud City. This was a rare scene, and the Alchemist Association naturally also wanted to make some arrangements in this regard, to test the level of this generation of alchemists, and it could also be regarded as providing a platform for everyone to communicate and compete.

“Actually, I made a bet with several old friends, betting on whose young people are the most powerful. They are also the leaders of the alchemist associations in different cities. Well, the bet is any item in their Qiankun Bags. These old guys have very rich backgrounds.” Du Wan had a look of luring with benefits on his face.

Mina continued： “If you can win the final victory, the Alchemist Association will also give huge rewards, all of which are rare medicinal materials, and there is even a top-quality alchemy furnace.”

Saying this, she shook Yang Kai’s arm and pleaded, coquettishly saying： “Brother Yang Kai, you just go. People really want that alchemy furnace. That’s a Saint-level alchemy furnace.”

Yang Kai got goosebumps all over his body and shivered involuntarily. He helplessly said： “Since Elder Du has said so, how can I refuse？ Don’t shake anymore. It makes me dizzy.”

“You promised？ That’s great！” Mina suddenly became excited.

Yang Kai pondered for a while and said, “Well, if I can win in the end, I hope to choose the medicinal materials I need from those bets and rewards. I don’t want the pill furnace.”

“That’s no problem.” Mina nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Don’t be so excited. There are many powerful alchemists in the world. We may not necessarily be the last ones laughing.”

“Definitely can. This is a competition among the younger generation of alchemists. No one can be more powerful than you.” Mina had full confidence in Yang Kai.
