Martial Peak

ed to be a diligent youth.
After spending two or three days together with Yang Kai and learning he was temporarily unable to leave, he immediately began cultivating.

The golden energy in this place with incredibly rich and potent, but was actually not of the Yang Attribute and instead had a sacred quality to it.

Yang Kai couldn’t tell what exactly this energy was, but using it for cultivation would not be an issue.

Moreover, the power contained within this golden energy was astonishing.
Even if Sun Yu could only absorb a tiny fraction of it, it would be enough to benefit him for the rest of his life.

One cultivated, one practiced Alchemy, and the two essentially kept to themselves like this as the days flew by.

Yang Kai didn’t need to worry about running out of Alchemy materials as before he left Nine Heavens Holy Land, he had emptied the Holy Land’s Treasury into his Black Book space.
He currently had enough herbs and spirit medicines to last for quite some time.

One day, after Yang Kai just finished refining a Saint Grade pill, he noticed that Sun Yu had stopped cultivating and was currently sitting nearby and observing his movements curiously.

“Understood anything?” Yang Kai smiled.

Sun Yu shook his head honestly and replied, “Senior, the way you perform Alchemy is quite strange; at least, it’s very different from the way I’ve seen anyone else perform Alchemy.”

“Oh, how so?” Yang Kai asked.

“You don’t use True Qi… All the Alchemists I’ve seen refining pills are constantly pushing their True Qi and their rate of consumption is quite fast, but when Senior performs Alchemy you don’t seem to use True Qi at all.
Also, the speed at which Senior refines pills is much faster than those people… What grade of pill are you refining? Mysterious Grade?”

Hearing this, Yang Kai’s face went black, thinking this little brat really lacked vision, actually believing the Saint Grade pill he had just refined was a worthless Mysterious Grade pill.

Seeing his expression, Sun Yu wore a shocked look and gasped, “It wouldn’t be a Spirit Grade pill, would it?”

“En, that’s right,” Yang Kai didn’t want to explain too much to him.

“Senior is really fierce… Successfully refining a Spirit Grade pill in just one or two hours, if the Alchemists of our Sect were to learn of this I’m afraid they’d die of shame.”

As a man who had experienced many great storms and received no small amount of flattery in his life, Yang Kai was still somewhat pleased when he heard Sun Yu say this.
Though, that was perhaps due to the pure look of admiration in this youth’s eyes.

“Why don’t you continue cultivating?” Yang Kai stored the Saint Grade pill away and asked.

Sun Yu smiled bitterly and replied, “I don’t know why but I can’t absorb the energy here… and the two Crystal Stones that I was carrying have also been used up.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, knowing what Sun Yu was saying was the truth.
Although the energy here could be used, Sun Yu’s strength was still too low.

Furrowing his brow as he stared at this youth, Yang Kai suddenly asked, “Do you long for strength?”

Sun Yu gawked for a moment before nodding firmly.

“Why?”

“Because I’m a man!” Sun Yu spoke as if it was only obvious, “Of course I long for strength.
Moreover, when one day I meet a woman I like, if I don’t have enough strength, how will I keep her safe?”

Yang Kai laughed at this response, “Very good!”

Men long for strength, there was no need for any complicated reason.

Sun Yu scratched his head as he observed Yang Kai reaction curiously.

Yang Kai suddenly wore a sincere and solemn look and said, “Kid, how about making a deal with me?”

“Senior need not act so polite, if you have any instructions, please tell me, this Sun Yu will do whatever he can to help,” Sun Yu replied earnestly.

However, Yang Kai shook his head and emphasized once more, “I’m only interested in making a deal with you.”

Sun Yu’s face also became serious, realizing that what Yang Kai was about to request of him was likely something important and not easy to handle.
Contemplating for a moment, he still nodded eventually, “Many thanks for Senior’s consideration, please ask!”

“Since you want strength, I can give it to you!” Yang Kai grinned, “But you have to agree to my request… En, when we leave here, and you return to Dragon Phoenix Palace, don’t divulge anything about me.”

Sun Yu was stunned and couldn’t help asking, “Why?”

“I have my reasons,” Yang Kai shook his head, “Do you agree?”

“But Senior, since you can open the barrier here, you must have a deep relationship with my Sect… and Palace Master and the Elders of the Sect are surely looking forward to your…”

“For the time being, I don’t want them to know about me.
When I have time, I will meet with your Palace Master to explain,” Yang Kai replied casually.

Yang Kai had still not finished dealing with Nine Heavens Holy Land’s mess, so if he were now get involved in Dragon Phoenix Palace’s affairs, he would likely no longer be able to rest due to overwork.

However, since the Phoenix Nest held the Phoenix Empress’ inheritance, he would definitely have to return here one day with Su Yan.

The people of Dragon Phoenix Palace must currently think that Sun Yu was the one who opened this formation and raising this youths strength would help Yang Kai conceal the truth, provided Sun Yu didn’t say anything.

Yang Kai appreciated this boy somewhat so he wasn’t willing to kill him to keep his secret.

With the resources Yang Kai had on hand, it would be simple to cultivate one youth.
Even if Sun Yu’s aptitude was mediocre, Yang Kai had methods to improve it.
What’s more, this boy cultivated a Yang Attribute Secret Art similar to Yang Kai’s so it could be said they shared a common source.

So long as Sun Yu nodded, he could obtain a wonderful opportunity that was simply unimaginable to others.

After thinking for some time, Sun Yu said, “Although I don’t know why Senior must do this, there is surely an important reason… I must only ask, does Senior have any hostile intent towards my Dragon Phoenix Palace?”

“Of course not.” Yang Kai laughed.

“Good, then I promise not to reveal your existence!”

“Very good!” Yang Kai nodded with satisfaction.
