Chapter 1071,: 1071,
Yang Kai knew that he had not spoken in vain and that Zong Ao had now fallen into a trance, the expression on his face constantly changing, his eyes were blank while sometimes full of light .
He was clearly experiencing an epiphany .
Yang Kai shook his head and did not bother him, focusing instead of restoring himself .
Ten Burning Flame Pills per day, three hundred pills per month, and a twenty to thirty percent chance these pills would form Pill Veins . Such achievements were enough to show disdain for the entirety of the Star Field’s Alchemists .
But Yang Kai felt no joy .
Because even if he could refine more pills with Pill Veins, he could not solve Xue Yue and his own crisis . What he needed was a single Burning Flame Pill which formed Pill Clouds .
With every attempt, Yang Kai went all out, not daring to slack, giving one hundred percent of his effort and focus to this Alchemy .
The chance of generating Pill Veins greatly increased over time, and as he further mastered the refinement of Burning Flame Pills, it reached as high as forty percent .
This meant that nearly half the Burning Flame Pills refined by Yang Kai formed Pill Veins, an incredible feat!
If these things were given to a cultivator who cultivated a Fire Attribute Secret Art, they would be able to rapidly improve their strength, but now they were all simply tossed aside by Yang Kai .
Every day, after he finished performing Alchemy, Yang Kai felt exhausted .
Refining a trivial ten Burning Flame Pills couldn’t cause him such fatigue, rather it was the huge psychological pressure weighing down on him which was responsible . And as time passed, that pressure only grew heavier .
Yang Kai, now deeply realized how difficult it was to refine Pill Clouds and even understood why those Alchemists who occasionally succeeded in this feat would shed tears of joy and offer thanks to the Heavens .
He could also wait for the Heavens to bestow him such good fortune, solving his current crisis .
Unlike Yang Kai, who was constantly frowning and in an irritable mood, Zong Ao’s face beamed radiantly these days and was filled with energy .
After Yang Kai’s words made him fall into an epiphany, he discovered that his own Alchemy technique had been unknowingly improved .
Every time he used to refine several dozen pills at once, he would need to maintain absolute focus in order to avoid mistakes, but now he could actually accomplish this task with ease, as if he was cooking a light meal .
And, by applying Yang Kai’s method, he had also successfully artificially refined Pill Veins!
Although his success rate wasn’t as frightening as Yang Kai’s, it still reached as high as ten percent .
One-tenth, that meant that for every ten pills he refined, one would form Pill Veins . This was something Zong Ao had never even dreamed of before . Zong Ao had his own pride and insistences, but regarding this matter, he was truly grateful to Yang Kai .
If Yang Kai hadn’t helped him overcome his mental block, Zong Ao imagined he would have blindly continued down his current Alchemy path and eventually gone astray .
By now, Zong Ao felt Yang Kai was incredibly pleasing to the eye, he no longer cared about him robbing half his pill furnaces . He didn’t bother Yang Kai at all, spending all day long familiarizing himself with the new Alchemy method Yang Kai had taught him while studying all kinds of Spirit Arrays, choosing the ones most suited to form Pill Veins .
He had reaped a huge harvest, and even his short temper had softened greatly, spending much of the day in a festive and laughing mood .
When the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce cultivator responsible for the regular delivery of herbs and collection of pills came, he could hardly believe his eyes .
He would be incredibly frightened and apprehensive every time he came to this place, as if he was walking on thin ice, only wanting to quickly hand over the herbs to Zong Ao and take the refined pills before fleeing the mountain valley out of fear that Zong Ao would find trouble with him .
During these exchanges, Zong Ao would perpetually wear a sour expression, as if he owed him millions of Saint Crystals .
But this most recent time, Zong Ao actually welcomed him with a smile, said a few words of thanks and praise while patting his shoulders, saying he had worked hard in these recent years, finally even inviting him inside to have a cup of tea .
The cultivator was so scared he didn’t even dare utter a word before departing in a fear-induced panic .
When this man reported what had happened with Zong Ao to Ha Li Ka, Lin Mu Feng and the other executives, all of them were just as dumbfounded, wondering what Zong Ao had experienced to undergo such a drastic change, only able to guess it had something to do with Yang Kai .
These executives were very concerned about the progress of this matter, because if Lady Xue’er was unable to awaken again, they would all be punished, very likely implicating the entire branch .
After incurring Third Young Master’s anger, it wasn’t impossible for all of them to be sent as slave miners to an Ore Star .
However, none of them had the courage to ask Zong Ao anything, each day that passed now feeling like an entire year, all of them only able to wait for Yang Kai to pass along the news to them .
On a certain day, Yang Kai finished his Alchemy, the expression on his face unsettled, a dark cloud hanging over him as he sat cross-legged there without moving .
Zong Ao came over and glanced towards the piled up Burning Flame Pills nearby, asking lightly, “How many batches of materials have been consumed?”
“It’s been six months, so more than eighteen hundred!” Yang Kai replied casually .
“More than one thousand and eight hundred batches…” Zong Ao took a soft breath, “There are seven or eight hundred Burning Flame Pills here that have formed Pill Veins . Being able to achieve such a result is something you can take great pride in, so why do you look so dissatisfied, kid?”
“I only want one pill with Pill Clouds,” Yang Kai glanced up at him, “Even if all these pills formed Pill Veins, they’d be worthless to me . ”
