Chapter 918,
Both Yang Kai and Xia Ning Chang were Saint Grade Mid-Rank Alchemists, but the time and resources they had spent achieving that rank were completely different .
Xia Ning Chang had been constantly running around with Meng Wu Ya for the past ten years and had very few stable days to spend improving her Alchemy technique . On top of that, Treasurer Meng wouldn’t have been able to easily gather large quantities of Alchemy materials like Yang Kai had in order to allow Xia Ning Chang to continually practice and build up her experience .
It could be said that Yang Kai being able to achieve his current level of Alchemy proficiency was completely thanks to piling up an incredible amount of time and resources .
On the other hand, Little Senior Sister has used her innate talent and special constitution to reach such a height while the time and resources she consumed was only a fraction of what Yang Kai had spent .
Yet now, they had both reached the rank of Saint Grade Mid-Rank Alchemist .
The difference in talent between the two was easy to judge .
Although he was surprised, Yang Kai was not discouraged but rather felt a great sense of joy, the more amazing his Little Senior Sister was, the happier he was .
Unlike the common men who would feel annoyed or even jealous that their woman had surpassed them in a certain field, Yang Kai only felt a sense of pride .
(Silavin: Haha . Sure . )
“Don’t worry, from now on, you will never lack for herbs to practice your skills with . I believe that soon, your Alchemy technique will experience rapid growth and it won’t be long before you reach the same standard as Old Man Li!” Yang Kai grinned, stretching out his hand and condensing a white ball of light on top of his palm before passing it over to Xia Ning Chang’s Soul Avatar, “Inside this is all the knowledge of the True Alchemic Way, take your time to comprehend it .
“En,” Xia Ning Chang opened her mind and body and absorbed the Spiritual Energy light containing the complete True Alchemic Way into her Soul Avatar before immediately beginning to study it .
Yang Kai did not bother her and quietly left .
Leaving his room, Yang Kai came out and strolled over to the main hall of the Holy Master Court .
An Ling’er was there going over recent reports, seemingly taking inventory of the Holy Land’s current accounts, her pretty face filled with a joyful smile .
Yang Kai’s arrival did not alarm her as she continued to immerse herself in her work, compiling the various documents into a single summary .
It wasn’t until Yang Kai sat down opposite her and poured himself a glass of water that An Ling’er looked up at him and grinned, “What’s wrong? After you finally managed to reunite with each other, shouldn’t you be spending a long time alone together? How come you came out after just two days?”
Yang Kai’s expression became somewhat awkward as he muttered, “We talked about everything we needed to, what else were we supposed to do?”
“Oh? You just talked?” An Ling’er’s grin grew even wider .
“What did you think we were doing?” Yang Kai quickly discovered the strangeness in her expression and understood she had gotten some wrong ideas in her head .
“Who knows, a single man and single woman spending several days all alone together, certain things are bound to happen, no?” An Ling’er seems to be in a good mood as she teased .
“You’re not jealous, are you?” Yang Kai stared at her blankly .
An Ling’er snorted, “Stop flattering yourself, the Elders might think we have that kind of relationship but you and I know better . ”
“A Saintess daring to say such words to the Holy Master, you must definitely be the first,” Yang Kai laughed .
“Who made you turn out so differently from all the previous Holy Masters? It’s you who gave up this opportunity on your own . Good, enough about that, the Holy Land’s income for these past few months is all recorded here, do you want to take a look?”
“Why not,” Yang Kai took the account book from her and began glancing over it . Just from scanning the document briefly, Yang Kai saw various entries about which pill the Holy Land’s Grandmaster had refined and what kind of compensation they were given . No matter how small the exchange was, all its details were clearly recorded .
Most of the remuneration paid was in the form of Crystal Stones but there were also things like rare materials and even some Secret Arts, Martial Skill, artifacts, and other strange items .
Browsing through this long list, Yang Kai soon became disinterested and tossed the account book back to An Ling’er, “Forget it, you keep track of things . ”
Spreading his Divine Sense out across the Holy Master Court, Yang Kai suddenly wrinkled his brow and asked, “Where’s Treasurer Meng? Why can’t I sense him?”
Hearing him ask this question, An Ling’er replied, “If you didn’t ask, I would have also forgotten . Senior Meng said he was going out for a while and asked me to tell you to take care of his apprentice . He also said that if you dared to bully her, he would make you unable to walk or eat . ”
“He went out? When did he go out? Did he say when he might be back?”
“He left yesterday and didn’t say anything about when he would be back,” An Ling’er shook her head .
Yang Kai furrowed his brow; although he didn’t know exactly why Meng Wu Ya had left so soon after coming to the Holy Land, he could faintly guess it had something to do with the strange Mysterious Small World they had entered before and was possibly even related to the words Great Demon God’s Soul Clone had spoken .
However, Treasurer Meng’s strength had been completely restored now so as long as he didn’t do something like flying over to the Demon Capital to challenge the Demon Commander, he shouldn’t be in any danger .
Just as Yang Kai was pondering this issue, Xu Hui hurriedly walked in from the outside and shouted, “Holy Master, Wu Jie wishes to meet you!”
Yang Kai brow rose, “Wu Jie?”
“It seems that something worrying has happened as his expression is a bit disturbed,” Xu Hui followed up .
“Let him come in,” Yang Kai commanded .
Yang Kai had not met with Wu Jie in several months but from listening to Xu Hui and the others’ reports, it seemed that after taking in a lot of elite disciples from Shattering Mystical Palace and War Spirit Temple, Wu Jie’s Netherworld Sect had grown considerably and was developing at a good pace .
A moment later, a black-robed Wu Jie appeared like a ghost and cupped his fists said, “Sir Holy Master!”
