Martial Peak

On a certain island in the local archipelago, once again, Qian Ning arrived on Nine Heavens Holy Land Saintess quarters. He was currently requesting that she prepare for another trip.

Unfortunately, ever since the Saintess had returned, An Ling’er firmly rejected both of his requests.

This time was no exception.

Qian Ning couldn’t help feeling somewhat annoyed. Although in the Holy Land, the Saintess had a higher rank than him, during this expedition, he was the one who was responsible for An Ling’er and the entire crew’s mission and safety.

“Young Lady, looking for the next Holy Master is your mission, we shouldn’t stop over in such a place for too long, no matter what reason you may have!”

“I know,” An Ling’er frowned, her pretty face slightly pale, “But I don’t know why, recently, I always had a feeling of restlessness, as if something terrible is about to happen.”

“Something terrible?” Qian Ning’s expression became even more solemn, “What do you mean?”

An Ling’er slowly shook her head and murmured, “I don’t know, I can’t explain it…”

Qian Ning’s brow furrowed as he gazed at An Ling’er suspiciously, a moment latter simply nodding, “If so, then we will stay for a while longer. When Young Lady believes we should depart, please let me know.”

“En.”

Staring at Qian Ning’s receding figure, An Ling’er’s forehead suddenly oozed large drops of sweat. What she had said just now was not to deceive Qian Ning, but was indeed what she was currently feeling.

She didn’t know what had happened, or what was about to happen, but these past few days, An Ling’er had always felt anxious and on edge.

Initially she had thought it had something to do with Yang Kai seizing her Soul brand, but after some careful investigation, she found that there was no connection between that and her current mood.

…..

Inside a certain cultivation room, Yang Kai had been in secluded retreat for ten straight days and had at last absorbed the entire efficacy of the ancient Saint Pill.

He had managed to comprehend a few of the mysteries of this Saint Pill and its Pill Cloud and although it was not much, it could still be considered a rich harvest, so he was greatly satisfied. Even his understanding of Alchemy techniques had improved somewhat.

When the effects of the ancient Saint Pill finally fading completely, Yang Kai felt as if his entire being had transformed.

His body felt light and his Soul felt clear; on top of that, his Spiritual Energy had become much stronger than before and a strange, pleasant sensation now filled his Knowledge Sea.

This indistinct sensation also allowed him to use his Spiritual Energy faster and more freely than before.

His brow furrowing slightly, Yang Kai quickly immersed himself in his Knowledge Sea and began examining it carefully.

Though Yang Kai had just begun its investigation, he immediately froze up, completely stunned.
