Chapter 833
byInside the Alchemist Association, upon seeing Yang Kai whom she hadn’t seen for several years, Mina seemed extremely happy.
However, when she thought of Elder Du’s concern for him, she still gritted her teeth with hatred. For this guy, she didn’t know how many times she had run to Tianxiao Sect and almost flattened the mountain over there.
“So I came here in person.” Yang Kai chuckled.
“You’re sensible！” Mina snorted softly, looked him up and down, and asked suspiciously： “The person who just asked Wu’er to refine pills… couldn’t it be you？”
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded.
Mina patted her soft chest and let out a sigh of relief： “It’s really you. That’s okay then. I thought some blind thing was trying to hit on Wu’er and was just about to come over and teach him a lesson.”
Yang Kai smiled and said: “I saw that she seemed to need some materials to practice with, so I made her…” When did such a little girl come to the Alchemist Association? I haven’t seen her before.”
When Mina heard this, her expression dimmed. She looked back and, after confirming that Wu’er had gone far away, she said in a low voice： “She was picked up by me and Old Du… Poor girl.”
“Youdaoplaceholder0 up?” Yang Kai was stunned.
“Yes. On the way back from Floating Cloud City that year, we passed through a village. That village was attacked by a herd of beasts and everyone died. Only she was left crying in the ruins. Old Du couldn’t bear to leave her there, so he brought her back to Boulder City. When we brought her back, she was less than ten years old, skinny and didn’t know how to speak. She seemed to be scared silly… After a few years of raising, she became like this. Now she has a lot of energy and just knows how to run around like crazy all day long. I can’t even catch her.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile and nodded: “You guys really picked up a good prospect.”
“Yeah!” ” Mina’s beautiful eyes shone. “Elder Du said he didn’t expect Wu’er to be so suitable for alchemy. When we brought her back, she hadn’t even cultivated. Now, as you should have seen, her cultivation level is at the ninth layer of the True Yuan Realm. In terms of her alchemy level, it’s almost at the Profound Rank. As her senior sister, I even feel the pressure. If I don’t work hard, I will be surpassed by this little girl in no time.
Yang Kai laughed loudly： “That will still be many years later.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be long…” Mina’s expression turned bitter. “I’m only a low-grade Spirit Rank alchemist, just one major level higher than Wu’er. With the growth rate of this little girl she will be able to surpass me in less than ten years.”
As she spoke, Mina suddenly looked at Yang Kai curiously： “What about you？ Have you made any progress at the upper grade of the Spirit Rank？”
“A little.” Yang Kai touched his nose and didn’t dare to tell the truth for fear of hitting Mina.
“Alright, alright. Just by looking at your expression, I know you must already be able to refine Saint Pills. I’m just an ordinary person and I won’t compare with you two “freaks!” Mina was a little frustrated, but then she suddenly smiled and said: “Don’t talk here. Come in. If Elder Du knows you’re here, he will definitely be very happy.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and followed her into the Alchemist Association.
Before reaching the deep, Yang Kai’s expression moved and he said doubtfully: “Is Elder Du entertaining guests?”
He sensed the auras of several people in Elder Du’s room and could faintly hear some hearty laughter. Among these people, one was Du Wan, and the strengths of the others were not low either, all at the Supernatural Jing level.
“Yes.” Mina replied. “It just so happens that there are guests today.”
“Then I’ll wait.”
“No need…” Mina smiled mysteriously. “I think those guests will also be very happy to see you.”
Yang Kai was stunned. Suddenly, he realized: “Could it be those I met in Floating Cloud City?”
“Smart！” Mina covered her mouth and giggled. As she spoke, she had already arrived in front of Du Wan’s room and loudly said： “Elder Du, there are more guests.”
The laughter and conversation inside stopped for a moment. Then Du Wan’s voice came： “Ask him to come another day. I won’t see other guests today.”
“Elder Du, are you sure？ If that’s really the case, then I’ll drive him away.” Mina asked while winking at Yang Kai.
“You little girl…” Du Wan’s helpless laughter came from inside. “Who exactly is it？ From the meaning of your words, it seems to be a very important guest.”
Before Mina could answer, Yang Kai respectfully said： “Elder Du, it’s me, Yang Kai！”
“Yang Kai?” Du Wan’s voice suddenly rose a lot, and then there was a series of thudding sounds. Moments later, the door was opened, and Du Wan stuck his head out with a look of surprise. When he saw Yang Kai, his turbid eyes suddenly shone with bright: “It’s really you!”
Yang Kai smiled and nodded.
“Come in quickly, come in quickly！” Du Wan was full of enthusiasm and welcomed Yang Kai in. “You’re finally back.”
“I wandered outside for some time and only returned to the sect not long ago. I heard that Elder Du asked Mina to go to Tianxiao Sect many times to inquire about my news. Receiving Elder Du’s care, I’m extremely grateful.” Yang Kai said seriously.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. You’re a member of my Alchemist Association, and as the person in charge, of course I have to pay attention.” Du Wan laughed heartily, and his old face became like a flower. “You came at a good time. I was just talking about you with several old friends.”
As the two were talking, they had already entered the private room.
In that private room, several old fellows with the same temperament and similar age as Du Wan were stretching their heads and looking towards the door, with expressions of eager anticipation.
When Yang Kai appeared their expressions were all astonished.
“Huh, Du Wan.” An old fellow with a big, fat head and ears on the left side shouted, “Something’s not right. The kid I saw last time wasn’t him. Do you think I’m old and muddle-headed with no memory, so you just randomly found someone to deceive me？”
This old fellow seemed to be extremely obese. Sitting upright on the ground, he was just like a ball of meat. His whole body was leaning against the wall, and after saying a few words, he was panting.
“That’s right… The figure is almost the same, and the voice is also the same, but the appearance is not right！” Another old man on the right stroked his beard and examined Yang Kai up and down.
“Hehe, you two idiots. Don’t you remember that Du Wan got a mysterious secret treasure when he helped someone refine pills back then?” The third person in the middle seemed to have seen the mystery at a glance and complacently laughed: “I remember that secret treasure can change a person’s appearance and aura.”
“So that means… This is really that kid？ What we saw back then wasn’t his original appearance？” The fourth one was an old woman with bright eyes, exclaiming.
“It ‘s this junior. Greetings to several masters.” Yang Kai smiled and clasped.
“Come, sit and talk.” Du Wan warmly greeted, “We ‘re all used to being slack. Don’ t be too reserved. Just be casual.”
Yang Kai took a look and found that these several masters were indeed quite casual. There were tables and chairs beside them, but they didn’t sit on them. Instead, they sat on the ground. Presumably, it was because of that extremely obese person.”
He didn’t pay much attention and just sat down beside Du Wan like that.
Four pairs of eyes looked over with great interest, and Yang Kai could only force out a dry laugh.
He still remembered that when he was in Floating Cloud City, because he won the first place in the Alchemy Conference, he took some things from the Qiankun Bags of these four people.
“Du Wan, you’re really shrewd. You actually put a secret treasure for disguising on this kid in advance. No wonder so many people have been inquiring with his portrait in the past few years, but they still haven’t been able to find this person.” The old woman smiled. “So that’s how it is.”
“If not for this, he would have already been in trouble.” Du Wan smiled slightly. “Although there are some clues pointing to the Tianxiao Sect, there is Chu Lingxiao sitting there, and no one dares to go looking for trouble.”
Yang Kai refined the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower, and naturally there will be people inquiring about his whereabouts, attempting to obtain this natural treasure from his hands.
“You couldn’t have known all along that he could obtain the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower, could you？”
“I just felt that he couldn’t expose his identity in front of so many people.” Du Wan chuckled. “I didn’t think that far ahead, but the fact that he was able to obtain the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower is indeed quite astonishing.”
Saying so, he suddenly said, “Oh right, Yang Kai, let me introduce to you. This is the person in charge of the Alchemist Association in Broken Star City, Hong Fang, a Saint-level Lower Rank Alchemist！”
“Greetings, Master Hong！” Yang Kai respectfully saluted.
“You’re too kind！” Hong Fang stroked his beard and smiled. “Before long, I’m afraid you’ll be able to reach my level. Let’s forget about the title of ‘Master’.”
Du Wan also smiled and didn’t refute. Then he pointed to the obese old man and said, “This is the person in charge of the Alchemist Association in Flash City, Chang Bao, a Saint-level lower-rank alchemist！ Well, Brother Chang is greedy for food and drink, so his body has become like this. You should take this as a warning.”
That Chang Bao curled his lip and said, “Eating is a wonderful thing in the world. You, Du Wan, don’t know how to enjoy it at all.”
Du Wan ignored him and pointed to another person, saying, “This is the person in charge of the Alchemist Association in Sanchuan City, He Feng, a Saint-level lower-rank alchemist！”
Just after the introduction, that He Feng came over and chuckled, “Kid, a few years ago I invited you to Sanchuan City, but you didn’t agree. How about considering it again today？”
While speaking, he winked and said, “I have several beautiful granddaughters for you to choose from. It doesn’t matter if you take them all, as long as you promise to come to my Sanchuan City Alchemist Association.”
“Thank you for the master’s love. The kid is very grateful, but Elder Du has the kindness to promote the kid. So please don’t blame the master. The kid declines the master’s kindness.”
He Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes and snorted, “You have a lot of guts. No one has ever dared to reject my kindness directly. You, this stinky kid, are really good. You’ve made me lose face again and again！”
“Who asked you to court your own humiliation？” Du Wan laughed heartily. Yang Kai’s words were simple and straightforward, and he seemed extremely happy to hear them. Ignoring He Feng, he turned to the old woman and said, “This is the person in charge of the Alchemist Association of Poyue City, Kong Ruoyu, a Saint-level Low-Grade Alchemist！”
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn, and he saluted again.
Most of the top alchemists and weapon refiners are men. There are not many women who have achieved this level because women are naturally more yin and soft in constitution, which does not match the yang fire required for alchemy and weapon refining. However, the fact that Kong Ruoyu was able to reach the level of a Saint-level Low-Grade Alchemist shows that she has put in more effort than others and has better qualifications. If she were a man, her achievements might be even higher.
