Chapter 871
byYang Kai was indeed not interested in the cultivation method cultivated by the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Seeking power at the cost of one’s own vitality was a bit of putting the cart before the horse. The peak of martial arts that Yang Kai pursued was not like this.
So he had never planned to walk his life according to the footsteps of the previous Holy Lords.
He had his own goals and pursuits.
However, this also required An Ling’er’s cooperation. Seeing her nod, Yang Kai was also in a happy mood and let go of a worry.
“But… what should we do if the elders ask？” An Ling’er couldn’t help but worry. “They all seem to be in a hurry.”
“It’s really a dog meddling in a cat’s business…” Yang Kai muttered dissatisfiedly. There was no need to ask. He also knew that the one who was most anxious should be that old guy Xu Hui. It must be him who was urging An Ling’er to cultivate with himself as soon as possible.
Hearing him say that, An Ling’er couldn’t help but laugh, and the room became much brighter all of a sudden.
“Well, if they ask, you just tell them that we have already started cultivating.”
“That’s okay… but this can only deceive them for a while！” An Ling’er gently bit her red lips. “There’s no problem with you. With your talent, even if you don’t cultivate that skill, your strength can still increase rapidly. But if I don’t break through the current realm for a long time, the elders will definitely have doubts…”
“I’ll help you！” Yang Kai grinned.
“How can you help me?” An Ling’er was stunned.
Yang Kai flipped his hand, and a fine jade bottle appeared in his hand. He handed it over and said “There is some very strange spiritual liquid in here. After you take it back, take one drop every day, and your strength will slowly improve.”
An Ling’er took it dubiously, opened the bottle and sniffed it. The refreshing fragrance rushed to her face, and she couldn’t help but give me a jolt. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at Yang Kai and said, “Is this really useful?”
“Of course it’s useful.” Yang Kai nodded affirmatively and added, “Come to me again when you run out.”
“Then I’ll take it back and try it. Thank you.” An Ling’er giggled. It seemed that after talking to Yang Kai for a while, her mood also became happy, no longer as sad as before.
After talking for a while longer, An Ling’er left.
Yang Kai sent out his spiritual thoughts and told Xu Hui and Li Rong and others that he was going to retreat for a while and asked them not to come and disturb him if there was nothing important.
After receiving the reply, Yang Kai left the Saint Lord’s Garden and went alone to the Saint Mausoleum.
The Saint Mausoleum is an excellent place for seclusion. Besides being opened by Yang Kai using the Saint Lord’s Spirit Ring, others simply can’t open it, so naturally there is no need to worry about being disturbed by others.
Coming to the huge bluestone, Yang Kai imprinted the Saint Lord’s Spirit Ring in his hand on that specific position to open the Saint Mausoleum and got in directly.
The dark and gloomy environment still has the traces of the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land living here everywhere. Although the environment is not so good, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich.
Casually looking for a position, Yang Kai sat cross-legged.
Taking out the long shuttle secret treasure obtained from the starry sky, Yang Kai carefully examined it.
He could feel that there was a mysterious power contained in this secret treasure, and countless complicated and profound spiritual array diagrams were also engraved inside. But if it is not refined, he simply doesn’t know what the secret treasure is used for.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Yang Kai released his spiritual thoughts and circulated them in the long shuttle secret treasure, spying on its material and structure, looking for a breakthrough point.
To refine a secret treasure, the first step is to leave one’s own soul brand and engrave one’s own life mark in the secret treasure. Only in this way can the refining begin.
After leaving the mark, take it into the body and nourish it with true essence and spiritual consciousness.
After reaching a certain degree, the secret treasure will resonate with oneself and be used by oneself.
Even if it is taken into the body, it still needs a long time of nourishment to exert the full power of the secret treasure to the extreme.
Therefore, every martial artist will not easily change the secret treasure they use, because the long-term refinement and nourishment have created a delicate connection between themselves and the secret treasure. This connection can exert the full power of the secret treasure in battle and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness.
Changing to another unfamiliar secret treasure will not have this effect.
Unless the growth of strength and the grade of the secret treasure can no longer reach a balance, martial artists will choose to change the secret treasure.
Even so, they will look for some secret treasures that match their own skills and techniques to refine.
More martial artists will search for materials and ask refiners to customize them for themselves.
A good martial artist, the secret treasure customized for a martial artist is the one that is truly suitable for that martial artist.
Yang Kai has never bothered with this before. Mainly, he generally doesn’t rely too much on the power of secret treasures. If there is a suitable one, he will refine it casually and doesn’t bother to search for materials and ask others to refine it.
This long shuttle secret treasure had an owner a long time ago. It’s just that the owner may have lost his way in the starry sky or encountered some accident and fallen in the starry sky. The long shuttle secret treasure drifted along with the meteorite sea and was accidentally discovered and obtained by Yang Kai.
The spiritual thoughts shuttled through it. Soon, Yang Kai discovered a very delicate soul smell in the long shuttle secret treasure.
This is the soul imprint belonging to the original owner.
It had to be erased in order to engrave his own brand.
Sensing that soul aura, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel shocked.
Although many years had passed and the soul aura remaining in the secret treasure had become very weak, Yang Kai could still sense how pure and thick it had been when it wasn’t weakened.
The original owner of this secret treasure was at least a Third-Order Saint Realm powerhouse.
Such a top expert had fallen in the starry sky, which inevitably made people sigh with regret.
Yang Kai also realized the horror of the starry sky. He had entered the starry sky twice before and after, and what he had seen was just a drop in the ocean. He might not have seen the real danger at all.
That was a disaster that even a Third-Order Saint Realm couldn’t resist.
With a thought, the fire of his spiritual awareness burst out with scorching heat and burned within the secret treasure.
Hiss…
The soul brand remaining in the secret treasure was instantly erased and no longer exists.
Yang Kai’s true essence surged and continuously poured into the long shuttle, and his spiritual awareness also remained within it.
This kind of thing was very time-consuming and couldn’t be rushed, so Yang Kai sat steadily in place, maintaining the release of his true essence and spiritual awareness, allowing the long shuttle to familiarize itself with his aura.
Gradually, some subtle true essence and spiritual awareness power could penetrate into the interior of the long shuttle and stay, which also meant that it began to accept his aura.
Yang Kai felt greatly relieved in his heart, knowing that this secret treasure was not mutually exclusive with his true essence. If it was, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to refine it.
No longer paying attention to the long shuttle secret treasure in his hand, allowing it to be eroded by his true essence and spiritual consciousness, Yang Kai’s mind escaped into the space of the black book.
Sensing Yang Kai’s arrival, the divine tree faintly welcomed him, and its mood seemed a bit not so good.
“What’s wrong？” Yang Kai asked in surprise with a smile, sending a message.
“I feel a little lonely.” The divine tree responded, “There is always only me here. When you don’t come, I can only be in a daze.”
“Lonely…” Yang Kai’s face darkened, suddenly realizing that the divine tree’s consciousness had actually grown to a degree that he didn’t expect.
It wouldn’t have said such things before.
“Sorry.” Yang Kai expressed his apology, “I can’t place living things with blood and flesh in this area of mine. Otherwise, I could still find a few companions for you… Well, there used to be a Yin-Yang Demon Ginseng, but unfortunately it has disappeared.”
“Yin-Yang Demon Ginseng？ What is that？”
“A kind of heaven and earth spiritual treasure！” Yang Kai explained. As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up： “By the way, heaven and earth spiritual treasures have some consciousness. I can actually find some for you to keep you company.”
The divine tree was overjoyed and hurriedly said： “Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find a few for me.”
“Don’t be in a hurry.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile. “I still have some matters to attend to here and I’m currently in seclusion. I promise you that I’ll go and search for them for you after I come out of seclusion. Moreover, such things are extremely rare and not something that can be found just like that. It will also take some time.”
“Oh.” The Divine Tree couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but it quickly recovered and said excitedly, “Then I’ll wait.”
Yang Kai nodded seriously： “Don’t worry, I will definitely find them for you.”
“I believe you！”
“Have those two stones changed at all now？” Yang Kai asked again.
“They’re still the same. They’ve been continuously eating other stones, and I’ve noticed that their appetites seem to have increased a great deal！”
“Oh？” Yang Kai was surprised and quickly came to the side of the two pitch-black round stones. He discovered that it was indeed as the Divine Tree had said. Ever since a few days ago when he and Li Rong had searched for a large number of ores in the starry sky and placed them here, the two pitch-black round stones had increased their absorption of the mineral essence.
In just a few days’ time, they had already consumed the amount that would normally last for a month.
The area nearby was filled with the powdered remains of the stones that had lost their essence.
Looking around, Yang Kai could even clearly see that streaks of energy formed by the convergence of essence were continuously being injected from those ores into the pitch-black round stones and disappearing.
Nourished by the essence of these ores, the two pitch-black round stones emitted a faint glow. The patterns inside, like the meridians of a human body, became increasingly clear and continuous, with a large amount of energy flowing through them.
“What exactly is this？ Why does it eat stones？” The Divine Tree expressed great curiosity.
“If you ask me, I don’t know either.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders. “But there will always be a day when the truth comes to light. Keep watching them. If you find any major changes in them, remember to notify me in time.”
“En.”
A moment later, Yang Kai left the Black Book Space, and his mind returned to his body.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and half a month had passed.
During these half a month, Yang Kai had been constantly eroding the shuttle secret treasure with his True Yuan and Divine Consciousness power, engraving his life mark and soul brand. The progress was very slow.
He didn’t know what grade this shuttle secret treasure was. It was even more difficult to refine than the Saint-Grade Top-Quality Silver Leaf Secret Treasure.
However, after half a month, Yang Kai finally managed to successfully brand his mark inside it. With a thought, he took it into his body.
The next step was the long-term nurturing stage.
Only when he could resonate with this shuttle secret treasure could he understand its uses and use it to face the enemy.
This matter didn’t require Yang Kai to do it deliberately. It just needed the precipitation of time. When it reached a certain extent, the resonance would naturally occur.
