Chapter 800

Beside the Metamorphosis Pool, the Great Venerable looked at Yang Kai with deep eyes and a calm expression, and said, “You should recover for a while, and we’ll talk later.”

Yang Kai smiled and nodded, sitting cross-legged.

In front of the Great Venerable, his spiritual thoughts were still infiltrating the ground of the Metamorphosis Pool, as if he was comprehending something.

The Great Venerable noticed it and didn’t stop him. He just waved his hand and drove away the clansmen who were gathering around to watch the excitement.

Looking at Yang Kai who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, the corner of the Great Venerable’s mouth slightly raised. He felt that he might figure out some secrets that he had always wanted to figure out for many years.

And this secret was actually figured out by a human.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

This kid… The Great Venerable shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had underestimated his ability. Moreover, he also had the Fire of Divine Sense, and this secret was simply too explosive.

Yang Kai sat for a whole day and night, recovering on the one hand and investigating the mystery below the Metamorphosis Pool on the other hand.

The Great Venerable, who was impatient to wait, had already returned to the Lei Mu Mansion.

When Yang Kai opened his eyes again, there was only Cai Die alone beside the Metamorphosis Pool. ThisDemon Racebeauty with a pair of colorful wings was looking at Yang Kai with a pair of curious eyes.

When their eyes met, Cai Die’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and she quickly looked away.

“Lord Cai Die…” Yang Kai nodded to her and stood up.

“Covered?” Cai Die asked indifferently.

Yang Kai nodded. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he found that the hostility of this woman towards him seemed to have decreased a lot.

“If you’ve recovered, then come with me. The Great Venerable has been waiting for you！” Cai Die said, flapping her wings and leading the way.

Yang Kai hurriedly followed.

There was no conversation along the way. When they arrived at the Lei Mu Estate, the demonic beasts and powerfulDemon Race standing there all stood up one after another and looked at Yang Kai with a kind of friendly gaze, without the rejection when Yang Kai first arrived here.

It seemed that because Yang Kai had saved the White Jade Deer, he had obtained their collective favor.

TheDemon Race is really united！ Yang Kai secretly praised.

This kind of thing would probably not happen in any human force. At most, only a few specific people would gain favor. Unlike theDemon Race here, no one despised Yang Kai anymore, and no one looked down on him anymore. They all regarded him as the most honored guest.

They walked all the way to the top of the Lei Mu Estate. In front of the Great Venerable’s room, Cai Die stopped and said, “Go in.”

“Thank you！” Yang Kai smiled and indicated, then stepped into the room.

“Hey…” Cai Die suddenly shouted again.

“What?” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at her. He found that her expression was a little difficult, and her pink and tender lips wriggled a few times. Then she murmured, “Thank you!”

After saying that, with a flash of her figure, she flew down rapidly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile dumbly and walked into the Great Venerable’s room while shaking his head.

Inside the room, the Great Venerable was looking at Yang Kai with a smile and said kindly, “Sit down.”

While speaking, he glanced outside the door and said meaningfully, “You are the first human to be recognized by Cai Die. Even if the old Saint Lord of your Holy Land has come here many times, she has never given a good look.”

“Oh？ Then I’m really honored.” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.

The Great Venerable smiled and shook his head： “But don’t blame her for having a prejudice against you. There is really a reason for it.”

While speaking, he handed over a jar of fine wine and said, “Let’s talk while drinking. This wine was also brought by your old Saint Lord. OurDemon Race are not good at these things.”

Yang Kai took it, took a sip and frowned, “It’s not so good. I have better ones. Do you want to taste them？”

“Bring it！” The Great Venerable said unceremoniously.

Yang Kai smiled and took out a jar of fine wine from the Black Book Space and filled a cup for the Great Venerable.

The Great Venerable frowned and pouted, “You brat, originally I thought you were quite pleasing to the eye. Why are you so stingy now? Your old Saint Lord brought hundreds or thousands of jars of fine wine here. I also drink them by the whole jar. What do you mean by giving me this small cup?”

Yang Kai’s face turned black： “I only have half a jar of this wine left. How can I drink it so extravagantly？”

The Great Venerable snorted softly, constantly pouting his lips, looking a bit dissatisfied. He took the cup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

Suddenly, the face of the Great Venerable changed, and there was some fluctuation of the divine soul between his brows. His face had an expression of endless aftertaste, and all the dissatisfaction vanished completely. It was only after a long while that he smacked his lips and shouted: “Good wine!” This is much better than the wine brought by your old Saint Lord. Come, come, fill it up again.”

As he spoke, he handed the cup to Yang Kai again and kept urging.

Yang Kai generously filled it up for him, and the Great Venerable drank it all in one gulp again. After drinking three cups in a row, he hiccupped contentedly.

“Was this wine brewed by you？” the Great Venerable asked.

Yang Kai shook his head： “It was brewed by a martial uncle of mine who is addicted to alcohol. You can just taste it, Great Venerable, and don’t expect too much. This thing takes at least fifty years to brew.”

“Fifty years…” The Great Venerable secretly gasped in surprise and shook his head： “Your martial uncle is really interesting. He spends fifty years just to brew this altar of wine？ But it’s worth it. This wine is not simple.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and sipped it his cultivation and strength were not as good as those of the Great Venerable, and he couldn’t drink as fiercely as him.

The energy contained in the Thousand Red Flower Brew brewed by Martial Uncle Fei Yu should not be underestimated. If you drink too much at once, I’m afraid you will really get drunk.

“The Great Venerable just mentioned Lord Cai Die. What happened to her？” Yang Kai asked curiously.

“Oh, her…” The Great Venerable thought for a while and said, “Before she took human form, she was once caught by a human. Because her true body is a naturally rare and beautiful butterfly, that human has been raising her. Although she has not suffered any abuse, she has seen many things that she hates… Well, the person who caught her is not a good person, so she has always had no good feelings towards humans.”

“So that’s the case.” Only then did Yang Kai understand why Cai Die had always hated him so much.

“It’s an old story.” The Great Venerable chuckled. “Many years ago, when this seat went out to play, I saw her and rescued her back.”

“Then there’s no need to mention it.”

The Great Venerable nodded slightly and said no more.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent. The Great Venerable’s eyes deeply gazed at Yang Kai and it was a long time before he spoke: “Regarding what happened before, are you ready to explain it to me?”

“What does the Great Venerable want to know？”

“What do you know？” The Great Venerable asked rhetorically without answering.

Yang Kai frowned： “I know everything about it in general.”

“How did you know？ The mystery beneath the Huasheng Pool, even I haven’t figured it out！” The Great Venerable’s expression suddenly became solemn.

“Because it is a natural spiritual array. You are not proficient in arrays, are you, Great Venerable？” Yang Kai chuckled. “Presumably you have also investigated. There is a vein of earth beneath that depression, shuttling and stretching underground. There is huge energy flowing in the vein. The Metamorphosis Pool is the external manifestation of the vein. However, the Metamorphosis Pool seems to have another mysterious power. I didn’t figure out what it is exactly, but it can help yourDemon Race to take human form.”

“Speak in detail！” the Great Venerable said in a deep voice.

“To be honest with you, Great Venerable, actually I am an alchemist. The natural spiritual array below is somewhat similar to the spiritual array I use when alchemy. However, that spiritual array is composed of countless small spiritual arrays and is extremely complex and abstruse. When yourDemon Race takes human form, it is basically equivalent to an alchemist making pills.”

“What is the relationship between the two？” The Great Venerable was confused.

“The Metamorphosis Pool is the furnace, the vein of earth is the spiritual array, the pool water is the medicinal primer, and the demon is refined like a pill!

“Refine the demon like a pill?”

“Yes. When making pills, all kinds of medicinal materials are gathered together and can produce some magical and subtle changes, making those liquid medicines condense into pills. It is the same when taking human form. When entering, it is a beast body, but when some specific conditions are met, the flesh and bones all change, and when coming out, it is a human form.”

The Great Venerable frowned and muttered to himself, as if carefully savoring what Yang Kai said.

Although his strength is excellent and his cultivation is profound, when facing the field of alchemy, he is still a bit at a loss.

After a long while, the Great Venerable said helplessly： “I only understood half of what you said…”

“It’s not easy to explain. If the Great Venerable is willing to learn alchemy, without ten or eight years, he should be able to figure it out completely.” Yang Kai smiled and shook his head. “However, the Great Venerable’s demonic essence is not suitable for alchemy.”

“I don’t need to understand alchemy. I just need to figure out what’s going on with the spirit array below the Metamorphosis Pool. If I’m not wrong, my clansmen often have accidents when transforming because the natural spirit array is damaged, right？”

“Well, I was able to dredge and repair it, so I could save that white jade deer.” Yang Kai nodded and pondered for a while. “How about this？ After the crisis in my Jiutian Holy Land is resolved, I will teach the relevant spirit arrays to the Great Venerable.”

“What conditions?” The Great Venerable narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Kai, a little alert.

“Hehe… For any alchemist and weapon refiner, the spirit arrays they master are the most core secrets and will not be easily spread. Doing this will cause me a great loss. How does the Great Venerable want to compensate me？”

The Great Venerable looked at Yang Kai angrily. After a long time, he shouted in a low voice： “Dammit！ As long as you can teach me that spirit array, it counts as myDemon Raceowing you a favor. If you have any needs in the future, just come to me！”

“The Great Venerable is straightforward enough. It seems we have become friends.” Yang Kai smiled freely.

“You are much more difficult to deal with than your old Saint Lord.” The Great Venerable snorted, but then quickly laughed out loud and raised his cup to drink heartily. “Forget it, it’s very rare for your human race to produce one or two outstanding people. I’m still looking forward to you sitting on an equal footing with me in twenty or thirty years’ time, so it doesn’t matter if I owe you a favor. You can now use this favor as a condition and ask me to help your Holy Land resolve the crisis.”

“No, to resolve the crisis of the Holy Land, we’ll still follow what we discussed before. I have to keep this favor and can’t use it now.”

“As you wish！” The Great Venerable twitched the corner of his mouth and didn’t say more.
