Martial Peak

one he had refined in the inn when he was competing with Di Yao, the one with Pill Veins.

“If it is convenient, could little brother portray the Spirit Arrays you used to refine this pill?” Old Man Li said, quickly adding, “Rest assure, this old master is not trying to spy on your secrets, I just have some doubts about your methods.”

“It’s not inconvenient at all,” Yang Kai smiled.
Regarding people like Old Man Li, Yang Kai felt completely relieved sharing his knowledge, quickly using his True Qi to inscribe the Spirit Arrays he had used into his pill furnace.

Soon, the Spirit Arrays had been completed and Yang Kai handed over his pill furnace.

Accepting it, Old Man Li carefully inspected the Spirit Arrays, a thoughtful look appearing on his face after a moment before handing it to Di Yao and saying, “Have a look.”

Di Yao wore a confused expression but still followed his Master’s instruction, a short time later also revealing an interested look.

“How is it?” Yang Kai asked, confused by the reactions of this Master, apprentice pair.

“Interesting,” Di Yao looked at Yang Kai with a smile, “The Spirit Arrays used by Brother Yang have some subtle differences from the ones we use now, they seem more ancient.”

“En,” Old Man Li nodded lightly, “These are very old Spirit Arrays, ones that have been lost to time, and they are definitely superior to the ones we use now.”

“I learned them from a very ancient book,” Yang Kai explained, “If Old Man Li wants, I can portray all of the Spirit Arrays I have learned for you.”

Old Man Li chuckled lightly in response, “There’s no need, this old master asking you about this is not because I want to acquire your methods, but because this old master and Yao’er have encountered these Spirit Arrays before, so I thought that incident might be related to little brother.”

Yang Kai’s brow wrinkles, “I’d like to hear the details please!”

“Brother Yang, it’s like this,” Di Yao began narrating, “I have been cultivating with my Master in the mountains since birth, studying the Alchemic Way for an entire twenty years.
Just a few years ago, Master decided to take me out of the mountains and experience the world.
I had always thought I was invincible among my peers in the field of Alchemy, but in this Floating Clouds City, I lost to Brother Yang… And before that, I lost to another person two years ago!”

Hearing this, Yang Kai was shocked, “Is there someone out there in our generation who is superior to Brother Di in Alchemy?”

“Good, what made me feel especially depressed was that she was a young woman!” Di Yao looked at Yang Kai with a grin.

Yang Kai was stunned, but suddenly remembering something, his eyes brightened as he eagerly asked, “What kind of woman?”

“I don’t know, her face was covered with a veil but she wore a small sapphire on her forehead and her eyes were exceptionally bright and pure, she should be a great beauty with innocent and cute looks.”

Yang Kai’s breathing gradually became hurried and his voice trembled as he asked, “Was there a somewhat lewd looking old man with her?”

“Lewd?” Di Yao’s expression became bewildered, “En, there was an old man with her who had a bit of a rascally look in his eyes.”

“Was that old fogey surnamed Meng?” Yang Kai took a deep breath and asked.

“Sure enough, they really are related with little brother,” Old Man Li gently nodded, “When I saw some traces of the Spirit Array little brother used to refine this pill, this old master had some guesses, but was unsure.
Now it really seems like little brother and that young miss are from the same Sect, yes? After all, the Spirit Arrays you use are identical.”

“En, she is my Senior Sister!” Yang Kai nodded repeatedly.

There could be no mistake.
Two years ago, the young woman who beat Di Yao in an Alchemy competition must have been Xia Ning Chang! In this world, only Xia Ning Chang could accomplish this, of that Yang Kai was certain!

“Which insanely fierce Sect are you from?” Di Yao was dumbstruck, “That woman seemed to have some kind of special constitution that allowed her to use not only her own True Qi but the surrounding World Energy to perform Alchemy.
She could even produce Pill Veins at will! I lost all three matches I had with her miserably, it was quite a heavy blow to my confidence.
Then there’s you who is even more of an anomaly, you even have a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea.
I can’t compare with either of you Senior Sister and Junior Brother pair.”

“She does have a special constitution, one related to Alchemy,” Yang Kai nodded, a great excitement filling his heart, after looking for so long, he had finally found a useful clue to his friend’s whereabouts.

“The Sacred Spirit Medicine Body!” Old Man Li suddenly said, “No wonder… she possess the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body! In time, her achievements will definitely surpass this old master’s.
Meng Wu Ya, that old bastard, actually trying to be mysterious and refusing to disclose such an important matter to this old master.”

Yang Kai expression changed.
From the way he referred to Meng Wu Ya, he could infer that Old Man Li and Treasurer Meng were old acquaintances and may even belong to the same generation of masters.

“Senior, when you met them, was there anyone else with them? I have another Senior Sister and a friend who should have been together with them.”

“Are they also proficient in Alchemy?” Di Yao asked worriedly.

“No,” Yang Kai shook his head.

“Unfortunately no, at the time, this old master only saw Meng Wu Ya accompanying that little girl surnamed Xia.”

Yang Kai’s complexion immediately became bad as his heart began to pound.

If Meng Wu Ya was with Xia Ning Chang, what about Su Yan and Old Demon? Where had the two of them gone?

Yang Kai wasn’t too worried about Old Demon; after all, the latter was originally from Tong Xuan Realm and had occupied the body of a Demon General.
Except for Saint Realm masters, no one would be able to hurt him, but Su Yan was different.
A young woman all alone in this world, with her weak strength and great beauty, what would become of her if she encountered some kind of danger?

What reason was there for her to separate from Meng Wu Ya, or what accident she had she encountered?

Yang Kai’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom of a valley as all kinds of negative thoughts swirled about his head.
