Chapter 904
byBoth Yang Kai and Xia Ning Shang are Saint-Grade Middle-Rank alchemists, but the time they spent on alchemy and the resources they can use are completely different.
Over the past ten years, Xia Ning Shang has been running around with Meng Wuya, and there are few stable days to spend on improving her alchemy skills. Moreover, Shopkeeper Meng can’t easily gather the materials needed for alchemy like Yang Kai and constantly squander them to practice alchemy.
It can be said that Yang Kai’s alchemy skills have grown to the current level entirely by piling up time and a large amount of materials.
However, Little Senior Sister is talented and has a special constitution. The time she spent on alchemy and the spiritual herbs and elixirs she consumed may only be a fraction of Yang Kai’s.
She has also reached the level of a Saint-Grade Middle-Rank alchemist.
When compared, the difference is obvious.
Besides being shocked, Yang Kai is also full of joy. The more powerful Little Senior Sister is, the happier he is.
Unlike other men who are afraid that the woman they like will surpass them in a certain field, Yang Kai instead feels that this is even more fulfilling.
“Don’t worry. From now on, you will have a large number of medicinal materials here to practice with. I believe your alchemy skills will improve quickly, and it won’t be long before you reach the level of Old Li! Yang Kai grinned, stretched out his hand and flicked, and a ball of white light drifted towards Xia Ning Shang’s spiritual soul body. “Inside this contains all the knowledge of the true alchemy formula. Little senior sister, you spend some time comprehending it.”
“I see.” Xia Ning Shang opened her body and mind, integrated the light carrying the true alchemy formula into her spiritual soul body, and immediately began to comprehend.
Yang Kai also didn’t bother her and quietly escaped.
Leaving his own room, Yang Kai strolled to the main hall of the Holy Master’s Courtyard.
An Ling’er was holding a ledger, seemingly count the Holy Land’s harvest during this period of time and her pretty face was beaming with joy.
Yang Kai’s arrival didn’t startle her. She still buried her head in the work in front of her and kept recording something.
It was not until Yang Kai sat down opposite her and poured himself a glass of water that An Ling’er looked up at him and pursed her lips with a smile： “What? After a long separation and reunion, don’t you want to spend more time together? Why did you come out after only two days?”
Yang Kai’s face flushed with embarrassment： “I’ve said everything that needs to be said. What else do you want？”
“Just talk？” An Ling’er pouted.
“What do you think we were doing in there？” Yang Kai noticed her strange expression and immediately understood that there must be some strange thoughts in her heart.
“Who knows, a lonely man and a widow, living together for a lifetime, it’s normal for them to be like dry wood and kindling.” An Ling’er seemed to be in a very good mood and teasing ed.
“wouldn’t be jealous, would you?” Yang Kai looked at her in astonishment.
An Ling’er spat and said, “Don’t be so self-indulgent. The elders all think we have that kind of relationship, but you’d better not take it seriously.”
“You should be the first Holy Maiden who dares to talk to the Holy Lord like this.” Yang Kai chuckled.
“Who made you different from the previous Holy Lords? It was you who gave up this opportunity. Alright, alright, stop chatting with you. All the earnings of the Holy Land during this period are here. Do you want to take a look?”
“Let me see.” Yang Kai casually picked up the ledger in front of her. Looking around, it was densely recorded with what pills were refined by the masters of the Holy Land on which day and what kind of rewards they got. Everything was recorded in detail.
Most of those rewards were equivalent crystals, and there were also many rare materials. Even secret treasures, secret manuals, and cultivation techniques were all there, all kinds of strange things.
Yang Kai’s head hurt from looking at it and threw the ledger back： “Forget it, you just record it.”
Divine sense swept around the Holy Lord’s Courtyard, and Yang Kai asked in astonishment: “Where is Shopkeeper Meng? Why isn’t it she here?
Hearing his question, An Ling’er then said, “If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. That Dream senior said he was going out for a while and asked you to take good care of his apprentice. He also said that if you dare to bully his apprentice, you will surely suffer.”
“He went out? When did he go out? Did he say when he would come back?”
“He left yesterday. He didn’t say when he would come back.” An Ling’er shook her head.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown. Although he didn’t know why Meng Wuya left the Holy Land just after arriving, he guessed some unusual information. It was probably related to the strange world he entered before and even related to what the avatar of the Great Demon God said.
However, Dream boss’s strength has now returned to its peak state. As long as he doesn’t go to the Demon Capital to challenge the Demon Venerable like before, there should be no danger.
While he was deep in thought, Xu Hui suddenly walked in hastily from the outside and said loudly, “Holy Master, Wu Jie is asking to see you！”
Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised： “Wu Jie？”
“It seems that something has happened. His expression is a bit odd, “Xu Hui reported.
“Let him in.” Yang Kai said hurriedly.
Since the last parting, he hasn’t seen Wu Jie for several months. But listening to Xu Hui and others, after absorbing many elites from the Po Xuan Mansion and the War Soul Palace, Wu Jie’s Nether Sect has greatly increased its strength, and now the development momentum is good.
A moment later, Wu Jie, who was dressed in a black robe and looked like a ghost, appeared leisurely and bowed, said “Holy Master!”
“Wu Sect Master.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “Is there something wrong？”
Wu Jie nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “There is something, related to the stone forest of Po Xuan Mansion.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed. “What happened to that stone forest？”
“If it is convenient for the Holy Master, just come with me and you will know.” Wu Jie didn’t say clearly.
However, from his expression and tone, Yang Kai still vaguely guessed something. Without saying more he nodded and stepped out of the Holy Master’s Garden.
Using divine sense to send a message, he asked Li Rong to follow up. The three of them flew towards Po Xuan Mansion together.
“Master, is there a problem？” Li Rong asked with a confused look.
“Wu Jie said that there is something wrong with that stone forest and asked me to go and see.”
“Stone forest？” Li Rong’s beautiful eyebrows raised. “The stone forest that leads to the starry sky？”
“Yes.”
“What happened there？”
“I don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head.
After a stick of incense, the three of them came to the sky above the stone forest where they landed last time. Looking around, Yang Kai couldn’t help but his eyes shrink.
In the center of the stone forest, a pitch-black and secluded entrance was opening silently, just like the situation in the Holy Mausoleum.
Li Rong covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Who opened the entrance to the starry sky？”
Wu Jie shook his head and said, “It was accidentally discovered by my disciples. Because I know this place is somewhat important to the Holy Lord, since we parted last time, I have ordered my disciples not to enter or leave Po Xuan Mansion anymore. However, yesterday when several disciples were flying in the air nearby, they suddenly discovered the situation below. Out of curiosity, several of them went in to investigate, but they never returned. The remaining disciples hurried back to the sect and told me the whole story, so I rushed to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.”
After listening to his account, Yang Kai nodded faintly and said, You should be glad that you didn’t go in to investigate yourself.
Wu Jie smiled and said, “I have self-knowledge. So, is that really the entrance to the starry sky？”
“That’s right. Last time, Li Rong and I have already gone in to investigate once. There really leads to the legendary starry sky. If you are not at the Third-Order Saint Realm and enter it, you will surely die. Your several disciples should not be able to come back.”
Wu Jie’s complexion changed slightly and said, “Only those at the Third-Order Saint Realm can enter？”
“There is a terrifying pressure flowing in the starry sky. Only the physical strength of those at the Third-Order Saint Realm can resist it.” Li Rong also nodded beside.
Wu Jie couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat and felt a little scared.
He secretly rejoiced that fortunately, he rushed to tell Yang Kai as soon as as he got the news and didn’t’d rush in rashly. Otherwise, with his current level, I’m afraid he would be the same as those several disciples and never return.
“But… who opened this entrance？” Li Rong muttered with a confused expression on her face.
“Maybe it opened on its own.” Yang Kai said thoughtfully.
“Opened on its own？” Both Li Rong and Wu Jie looked at him in surprise.
“Yes, there is also a small profound realm in the Holy Land, called the Holy Mausoleum. Originally, it was the place where the previous Holy Lords slept. However, a few days ago, the entrance of that small profound realm opened on its own, which panicked the Great Elder and the others for a while. Until now, they still can’t close it.” Yang Kai casually explained, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The entrance of the Holy Mausoleum opened, and the entrance to the starry sky also opened, and all these things happened in the past few days. Strictly speaking, it should be the day when he brought Meng Wuya and Xia Ning Shang back.
Could it really have something to do with that strange world？
The distance between them is really too far. How can they be related？
“Holy Master, how should we deal with this place？ Do we need to arrange some people to guard it here？”
“No need. You go back and warn the disciples of your Nether Sect to prevent them from breaking in. I’m not kidding. Entering here without reaching the Third Layer of Saint Realm is really a one-way trip.”
“Yes, I firmly believe in the words of the Holy Master.” Wu Jie nodded seriously.
“I will also tell the disciples of the Holy Land not to come here. As for outsiders… if they want to go in, let them go in. Their life and death have nothing to do with me！” Yang Kai snorted softly. “That’s it. Let’s go back first.”
“Then I, Wu, will take my leave. This time I came to the Holy Land mainly to inform the Holy Lord of this matter.”
“Mm, as you wish. Oh by the way, if you have any Saint Pills that need to be refined, feel free to come to the Holy Land to find me.” Yang Kai added another reminder. “I can prioritize refining them for you.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Jie was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, claiming that he would immediately go back to prepare the materials and visit again in a few days to seek the pills.
Actually, he had long wanted to go to the Nine Heavens Holy Land to seek pills. However, because of his fairly good relationship with Yang Kai, at this critical juncture, he was a bit embarrassed to go, lest he fall into the mouths of others and affect the reputation of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
But since Yang Kai had taken the initiative to mention it, how could Wu Jie refuse？ He immediately left excitedly.
After parting ways with Wu Jie, Yang Kai and Li Rong rushed back to the Holy Land again. Along the way, they were silent. Yang Kai’s mind was turning, recalling the words said by the avatar of the Great Demon God in that strange world, trying to find some clues or useful information.
