Chapter 922

In the Medicine King Valley, on Cloud Hidden Peak, a green light flashed and Yang Kai suddenly appeared.

He didn’t fly up directly, but took the initiative to stop at the foot of the peak.

This is the holy land in the hearts of all the alchemists in the world. The number one alchemist in the world, Xiao Fusheng, sits here. Anyone who comes here will not fly up the mountain without regard for etiquette.

In the past, Yang Kai stayed in the Medicine King Valley for a period of time. Although he never learned the way of alchemy from Master Xiao, this old man taught Yang Kai a lot of precious experiences.

On the way of Yang Kai’s growth, these experiences have been of great help many times.

Yang Kai respects this kind master from the bottom of his heart, and also the two beautiful women who serve the master. They gave Yang Kai the best resources back then.

Yang Kai is very grateful for their generosity and help to himself.

This time, he also plans to take the three of them to the Tongxuan Continent.

Xiao Fusheng’s lifelong wish is to refine a spiritual-grade pill, but due to the restrictions of this world, he has never been able to fulfill his wish.

As long as he arrives on the Tongxuan Continent, with the resources there and Xiao Fusheng’s means, it is not difficult to refine a spiritual pill.

Yang Kai began to slowly walk up the Yunyin Peak, looking at the medicinal materials planted in the mountains along the way, and recalled the two months he lived here in the past.

He couldn’t help but smile.

The Medicine King Valley here has not changed much from before. Wu Zheng is leading a group of people to do evil in Zhongdu and Lingxiao Pavilion, but it doesn’t seem to have affected this place.

In a short while, he arrived at the top of the peak.

Still the same as always, a few simple thatched cottages, extremely crude.

Two plump figures were cleaning the fallen leaves and dust in front of the house. A silk scarf was wrapped around their hair to prevent it from being soiled by the dust.

Hearing Yang Kai’s footsteps, both women raised their heads. The one standing in the front wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and looked at Yang Kai suspiciously with her beautiful eyes.

Aunt Xiang, Aunt Lan！” Yang Kai grinned and greeted loudly.”

You are… Aunt Xiang was stunned for a moment. Then a surprised and delighted light burst out in her beautiful eyes. She put down the broom in her hand and quickly walked forward to welcome him： Yang Kai？

It’s me.

Aunt Lan also hurried over and nodded slightly. She looked him up and down and said with a smile： After so many years, I almost didn’t recognize you.

That’s right, he has become much stronger than before. Your body didn’t look so good before.” Aunt Xiang greeted warmly： Come in and sit down.”

Okay.

Inside the thatched cottage. At the simple table, Yang Kai, Aunt Xiang, and Aunt Lan sat down. There were three cups of rough tea on the table.

There’s nothing good to entertain you with, so don’t be polite.” Aunt Lan said.”

Aunt Lan is being too polite.” Yang Kai drank the tea in front of him in one gulp and said with a smile： Although we haven’t seen each other for many years, Aunt Lan and Aunt Xiang haven’t changed much. You are still as young as before.”

The two women looked at each other and both smiled with their lips pursed.

“Smooth-talking, always knowing how to please people.” Aunt Xiang glared at him playfully. “Have you tricked many little girls？”

“Not at all.” Yang Kai scratched his head.

“I heard that you left Zhongdu more than ten years ago and didn’t know where you went. Now you’re back？”

“Yeah, I just came back a few days ago.”

“It’s good to be back safely. Master used to talk about you all the time, saying that you clearly knew how to refine pills but pretended to know nothing. You even fooled him when you came here back then.”

“Back then… I really didn’t understand. Where’s Master? Why didn’t I see him? Is he in seclusion refining pills underground again? Yang Kai asked.

The expressions of Aunt Xiang and Aunt Lan suddenly dimmed, the smiles on their faces disappeared, and their expressions became gloomy.

Yang Kai’s heart sank. A bad feeling rose.

“Master… he passed away five years ago.” Aunt Xiang turned her head away, her eyes red, and said in a low voice.

Yang Kai was stunned on the spot, and his heart felt a mess. It was as if there was a turmoil in his heart, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He suddenly remembered that the reason why Master Xiao publicly accepted disciples back then was because he perceived that his days were numbered, so he was in such a hurry.

But he didn’t expect that he had left the world five years ago.

“Master…” Yang Kai opened his mouth.

“His wish has been fulfilled！” Aunt Xiang endured the sad emotion and took out a jade box from her bosom. “Just seven days before he left, he used up his last vitality to refine a spiritual pill. This is what he refined at that time.”

Yang Kai took it. It felt heavy in his hand. What he was holding didn’t seem to be a single spiritual pellet, but a human life.

Opening it to take a look, the spiritual pellet was round and full, exuding a strong spiritual energy. Its medicinal efficacy was highly concentrated. Even an outstanding spiritual-grade alchemist might not necessarily be able to refine such a fine pellet.

“Master left very peacefully.” Aunt Xiang wiped the corner of her eye and forced a smile. “So we don’t need to be sad for him. However, Master said that the spiritual grade is not the supreme peak of alchemists. There must be a higher quality above the spiritual grade.”

Yang Kai’s body trembled, secretly astonished by Xiao Fusheng’s far-reaching vision.

At this moment, Yang Kai seemed to understand that the reason why Xiao Fusheng was so eager to refine a spiritual pellet was not to make a breakthrough in his own alchemy skills, but to break the shackles of this world with the power of one person.

He did it.

The spiritual-grade pill that had never existed in the world was refined by him.

“Where is Master buried？” Yang Kai looked up and asked.

Aunt Xiang gracefully stood up and greeted, “Come with me.”

Yunyin Peak, in an extremely remote mountain depression, a small earthen mound stood there all alone, not too far from the peak.

It was hard to believe that such a simple grave was actually the burial place of the world’s number one alchemist.

“All of this was done in accordance with the master’s last wishes before his death. There are no bones of the master here. After the master’s bones were cremated, they were scattered into the rivers. Only a few things from his lifetime are placed here.”

While Yang Kai was paying his respects, Aunt Xiang stood aside and explained.

“That you, a nominal disciple, can come to see him, if the master knew, he would definitely be very happy.” Aunt Xiang covered her mouth. By the end, she was already sobbing uncontrollably. Aunt Lan beside her also had red eyes and continuous tears.”

“It’s what I should do.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.

……

Half a day later, on the peak of Cloud Hidden Peak, Yang Kai said goodbye to Aunt Xiang and Aunt Lan.

“Don’t the two of you consider it anymore？ It may not be too peaceful here in the future. This world has been connected with a place called Tong Xuan Continent. In the future, there may be many powerful people beyond imagination coming here.” Yang Kai tried to persuade.

Just now, he wanted to let the two women in front of him who had once taken care of him go to Zhongdu with him, but the two refused his kindness and insisted on staying here.

“No need. We have lived here all our lives and don’t want to go to other places anymore. Moreover… the master is also here. We can stay and accompany him. If we leave, there will only be him left here.”

“That you have this kind of heart, we are very happy.”

Yang Kai sighed helplessly.

Yang Kai could sense the two women’s resolute attitudes. Knowing that no matter how much he tried to persuade them, it would be useless, he could only say, “Then when I have time in the future, I will come back to see you. Oh, by the way, if really someone dares to come here to cause trouble, you just report my name, and it might be of some use.”

“Got it.” Aunt Xiang smiled and nodded.

“Then take care, both of you!” Yang Kai solemnly bow and turn to go down the mountain.

“You also be careful in everything and never be strong.” Aunt Xiang and Aunt Lan waved at the peak.

After going down Cloud Hidden Peak, Yang Kai carefully put the jade box containing the spirit pill refined by Xiao Fusheng into the Black Book Space, sacrificed the Flying Shuttle, turned into a cyan light, and headed west all the way.

The target was directly pointed at the Azure Cloud Evil Land.

This time he left Central Capital mainly to go to two places, one was the Medicine King Valley, and the other was the Azure Cloud Evil Land.

He wanted to see Shan Qingluo.

Although that witch was unrestrained, she was still very good to Yang Kai. When fighting against the Evil Lord she had helped a lot.

The most crucial thing was that Yang Kai had planted a love seed in her heart, causing a connection between the two that could not be erased.

This time it was rare to come back, so naturally he had to bring her to the Tongxuan Continent as well, so as not to let her be bullied here.

As for what she would do when she arrived at the Tongxuan Continent, Yang Kai wouldn’t bother to care about her.

After two hours, Yang Kai had already arrived near Fragrant City.

This city can be said to be the most prosperous and stable city in the entire Cangyun Evil Land, and it is also the place under the jurisdiction of Shan Qingluo.

Back then, when the Evil Lord died and the six Great Evil Kings suffered heavy losses, the entire Cangyun Evil Land also fell into chaos. However, only the Fragrant Cloud City was not affected because the charming queen returned safely.

The prosperity and stability here form a sharp contrast with the continuous killing in other parts of the Cangyun Evil Land.

Many warriors who don’t want to live in fear outside will come to the Fragrant Cloud City to seek a way to make a living, resulting in more and more people being accommodated in this city and becoming more and more prosperous.

Yang Kai came all the way, thinking about what attitude he should use to talk to that witch when he saw her later.

That witch is too charming. If she really acts coquettishly with him Yang Kai doesn’t know if he can stand it. In case he can’t hold himself, the result will be the loss of his late reputation.

Moreover, she is also very good at pushing her luck, so he has to be on guard.

After a while, he arrived in front of the palace of Shan Qingluo in the Fragrant Cloud City.

At the gate of the palace, there was a person dressed in rags like a beggar, leaning against the wall with his hands tucked in, closing his eyes and resting. His image was sloppy, his hair was a mess. and his beard seemed to have not been cleaned for many years. He looked extremely bad.

Anyone passing by here wouldn’t give him a second look. The existence of such a person would only be annoying.

Yang Kai casually glanced at him, a strange smile playing on the corner of his mouth. He slowly walked up to him, ignoring the stinking smell emanating from his body.

The noon sun was blocked by Yang Kai’s figure. The beggar narrowed eyes, looked up, and then casually closed his eyes again continuing to rest with his eyes closed.

He regarded Yang Kai as non-existent, turning a blind eye.

Yang Kai grinned and said to him, “Hello, Shadow King!”

The beggar’s body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes. There was a hint of electric light surging in his eyes. It was not until this moment that he seemed to recognize Yang Kai’s identity. His expression changed drastically, and his thin, bony body swayed in place. With the surge of current, he disappeared without a trace.
