Martial Peak

The trip to the City Lord’s Mansion to negotiate with Di Yao about the Thousand Year Demon Flower had been temporarily set aside, in any case, Yang Kai wasn’t in that much of a hurry.

Yang Kai agreed to Old Man Du’s request because Old Man Du had been very good to him. Back in Grand Boulder City, if it wasn’t for Old Man Du’s conscientious care, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to settle in so easily and ultimately it was because of Old Man Du that Cang Yan had found him.

On top of that, Yang Kai was indeed tempted by the potential profits.

He had now collected a lot of the required herbs for refining the Saint Pill the Demon God Citadel needed, even the extremely rare Earth Fire Core from a few days ago, but there were still a few precious materials he had yet to obtain.

These old friends of Old Man Du may not necessarily have what Yang Kai needed, but they may have a way of acquiring them, so establishing a good relationship with them was by no means a misdemeanour.

As long as the remaining herbs could be collected and he continued promoting his Alchemy skills, Yang Kai could return to the Snow Mountain Range and bring the Ancient Demon Clan out.

In this unfamiliar realm, he urgently needed to have his own strength and support.

In the northwest corner of Floating Clouds City, a large crowd of people had gathered around a three hundred meter open square were roughly a few hundred tables had been set up.

These tables had been prepared for the Alchemist who would soon be participating in the competition.

Outside the square, countless cultivators and Alchemist were quietly waiting while a number of white-haired old men were busy making final preparations.

Yang Kai’s mental state was calm, without much tension, while on the other hand, Mi Na, after seeing such a magnificent scene, was constantly chattering, like a village girl who had never seen the world suddenly entering the magnificent city. Everything here was fresh and amazing to her.

“Brother Yang!” Someone suddenly called out from the side.

Yang Kai looked over and realized that Di Yao was also here and behind him were two powerful Transcendents wearing black armour.

It seemed like after the incident a few days ago, the City Lord’s Mansion had specially prepared these two bodyguards for him, the care they showed towards this youth was indeed unordinary.

“You came too?” Yang Kai smiled. This was a pleasant coincidence, if Yang Kai had just gone directly to the City Lord’s Mansion, he might have missed Di Yao as the latter had actually come here.

“I came to watch the fun,” Di Yao smiled, “Did you also come to enjoy the excitement?”

“I came to enter the competition,” Yang Kai said lightly.

“Seriously?” Di Yao was obviously taken aback, “If you attend, what’s the point in even holding a competition?”

Amongst the younger generation of Alchemists, those who had reached Spirit Grade were already considered extremely good seedlings and they were quite scarce in number, forget about there being freaks like Yang Kai who had already reached the Spirit Grade Top-Rank.

Him participating under these circumstances was really not much more than bullying the weak.
