Martial Peak

Chapter 2790, Agreement

“This Soul Summoning Drum can shock the mind, and although it isn’t very strong, it makes up for that in stealth, allowing one to catch their enemy off guard.” Hua Yu Lu suddenly reached out and patted the little flower drum gently. The strange thing was that no sound came out from it; however, an invisible force rippled out from it, cutting into Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea like a sharp blade.

Caught by surprise, the force shook Yang Kai’s focus slightly. It was just as Hua Yu Lu had explained, the power of the Soul Summoning Drum was not that great, and for that reason, it failed to break through the defences in Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea. It also went without saying that part of the reason for its weak power was that she had failed to completely refine the artifact and was unable to fully bring out its true strength as a result. Even so, it was already very impressive.

Imagine if two people of equal strength were desperately fighting against each other; the opponent would definitely suffer a fatal blow if Hua Yu Lu were to use the power of the Soul Summoning Drum without any warning. If used well, it could become a concealed weapon that could turn the tides of a losing battle. In this regard, it was actually much more versatile compared to most Emperor Artifacts.

“What an impressive item!” After getting a taste of the Soul Summoning Drum’s power himself, Yang Kai couldn’t help praising it.

To which Hua Yu Lu replied, “You flatter me, Elder Yang.”

Yang Kai then asked, “You acquired the Soul Summoning Drum when the three of you went exploring. So, what did the other two get?”

“One of them obtained a Secret Technique from the cave mansion. I don’t know the exact details since he did not reveal anything to us; however, it should be very powerful from the way he reacted. On the other hand, the other person’s cultivation skyrocketed inside the cave mansion. In the beginning, that person’s strength was the weakest among the three of us as he had just broken through to the First-Order Emperor Realm. Nevertheless, his aura was the strongest among us when we left that place.” Hua Yu Lu explained.

“It can even make a person’s cultivation skyrocket!?” Yang Kai was stunned.

Opportunities that could significantly increase an Emperor Realm Master’s cultivation were extremely rare. Just from that, it could be seen that the Ancient Cave Mansion definitely held some powerful inheritance. The ancient methods were powerful and extraordinary, and to think such a treasure with so many opportunities was so deeply hidden even after so many years. It made one wonder just how many benefits could be obtained if they managed to explore the entire cave mansion.

If it was said that Yang Kai only agreed to explore the Ancient Cave Mansion with Hua Yu Lu out of respect for Xia Sheng before, it was now because he truly became interested at this moment.

Cultivators could not grow strong by simply cultivating behind closed doors. Rather, gaining actual experience out in the world was the most important aspect of one’s cultivation. Coming across a rare opportunity was often far more beneficial than years of hard secluded retreat.

“If you are interested in this endeavour, then let’s meet at the Southern Swamp in two months. What do you think, Elder Yang?” Hua Yu Lu looked at Yang Kai.

“Good,” Yang Kai nodded. He didn’t have much to say about it as it just so happened that he needed to visit Star Soul Palace during this period to cultivate in the Five Colored Treasure Pagoda.

The two of them exchanged the means to contact each other on the spot, leaving their Soul Imprints on each other’s communication artifacts, which would allow them to communicate freely as long as they were not too far away from each other.

“Then, this matter is settled. Please take good care of Xiao Hua, Junior Brother.” Xia Sheng smiled faintly.

Yang Kai generously replied, “Rest assured, Senior Brother. I will definitely bring Palace Master Hua back in one piece.”
