Yang Kai had thought that the situation would be quite troublesome to deal with, but after examining the Artifact Spirit, hediscovered that it had fallen into a kind of deep sleep inside the Artifact Refining Furnace. Although it still appeared somewhatweak and injured, it wasn’t as serious as Yang Kai had imagined, and there even seemed to be a trace of the Sun’s True Firenow circulating through its body, as if it was refining and absorbing it.
This Sun’s True Fire was visible to the naked eye and swam through the Artifact Spirit's body like a tiny fire snake, but no matterhow it struggled, it was incapable of escaping and was gradually being assimilated.
It seemed the Artifact Spirit had turned this misfortune into a blessing.
This made Yang Kai overjoyed; after all, in order to gather the Sun’s True Essence this time, both of his little assistants hadsuffered significant damage, making him quite depressed. Now that he knew that the Artifact Spirit was fine and the StonePuppets injuries were not serious, Yang Kai was able to relax somewhat.
With the Artifact Spirit like this though, it was likely impossible for Yang Kai to use the Artifact Refining Furnace to continuerefining the Dragon Bone and Dragon Bead. So instead, he simply sat on the spot, adjusting his breathing while taking inventoryof the harvest from this trip.
In addition to the four Space Rings he had tossed to Yang Yan, there was a lot of Saint Crystals and rare minerals currentlystored inside the Stone Puppet's belly. There were also a few Secret Arts and Secret Books along with artifacts that originallybelonged to the Ancient Yang Sect that Yang Kai had managed to collect.
It was needless to say that the artifacts would all be left to Yang Yan to handle as many of them would need to be repairedbefore they could be used. Moreover, Yang Kai did not need other artifacts to enhance his combat effectiveness, so he didn’tconcern himself with these things greatly.
As for the Secret Arts and Secret Books, however, Yang Kai was at least interested in browsing through them.
After all, two thousand years ago, the Ancient Yang Sect was a force not inferior to Heaven Battling Union and Thunder TyphoonSect, so the Secret Arts and Secret Books owned by them must not be bad. What’s more, since these were placed in that SecretCave, they were likely related to the core inheritance of the Ancient Yang Sect.
After a cursory inspection, Yang Kai found himself quite startled.
He found that, as he guessed, these Secret Arts and Secret Books were all profound works. If any of these manuals were toappear in the outside world, they would draw the interest of countless cultivators. Several of the Secret Arts and techniques inthis collection were reserved for only the core members of the Ancient Yang Sect and were thus extremely high-grade. Many ofthese techniques were also quite profound and esoteric, to the point that even Origin Realm masters would be joyful to obtainone.
With Yang Kai’s current abilities and capital, there was no need for him to waste time and energy cultivating these things, but ifhe were to find some spare time, cultivating one or two sets of secret skills would increase his combat effectiveness and alsoincrease the number of life-saving techniques he had at his disposal.
At the very least, Yang Kai was quite interested in several of these secret manuals.
However, when he remembered that he still had to cultivate his Golden Blood Threads, refine the Dragon Bone and DragonBead, cultivate Space Force, and refine the Coloured Glass Bead Dai Yuan had given him, Yang Kai could only set this matteraside for the moment and make a note to revisit these Secret Arts and Secret Books in the future.
Although he had the intention of cultivating many of these texts, reading through some of these Secret Arts and Secret Books stillbroadened Yang Kai’s knowledge and provided him with some inspiration for his cultivation. In particular, there was a set of BodyTempering Secret Arts that Yang Kai was very much interested in.
It was the first time he had encountered a Secret Art specifically dedicated to tempering one’s physique and refining their body.
The reason why Yang Kai’s physique was so powerful was thanks to his Unyielding Golden Skeleton, which had allowed him tostore and use large quantities of Demonic Qi before, giving him some Demon Race physical qualities. On top of that, Yang Kaihad various opportunities over the years which allowed him to enhance his physical strength.
However, now that he thought about it, when he first began cultivating and obtained the Unyielding Golden Skeleton, theTempered Body Record he used should have also been a kind of Body Tempering Secret Art. However, this Secret Art wascreated by Great Demon God and obviously could not compare with the techniques of the Ancient Yang Sect.
It was not that Great Demon God's aptitude was poor, but that he had only managed to reach the Saint King Realm before hedied and had not been able to truly step out from Tong Xuan Realm. Naturally, a technique he created wouldn't be a match themillennia-long inheritance of a great Sect.
Yang Kai did not know what grade this Ancient Yang Sect Body Tempering Secret Art was, but after studying it for a time, heconcluded that it wasn’t low. In fact, it was quite likely a priceless treasure. With his ability as an Origin Grade Alchemist, YangKai could also refine some Body Tempering pills that would presumably allow him to obtain twice the results with half the effortwhen he did begin cultivating this Secret Art, allowing him to save a great deal of time.
Deciding so, Yang Kai sat cross-legged in place and continued to refine his Golden Blood Threads while occasionally findingsome time to review the mysteries of this Body Tempering Secret Art.
In the blink of an eye, eight days passed by.
During this period, the small mountain range remained completely calm, with nothing out of the ordinary happening, but this wasnot much of a surprise as this place was quite close to Grand Burial Valley so no one would come here usually. If it was athousand years ago, the situation would definitely be different as many cultivators would be passing through to go treasurehunting in the Grand Burial Valley.
But now, although some would still occasionally dive into Grand Burial Valley, their numbers had decreased sharply, and unlessthey had some kind of specific purpose, like Chen Shi Tao’s group, only fledgelings who wanted to quickly make their mark onthe world or adventurous little brats would come here to try their luck. Most of these people, however, would not return safelyafter entering the Grand Burial Valley.
On this day, Yang Kai was meditating at the front of the cave mansion when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up.to see a blue streak of light quickly approaching. This person was not trying to conceal their presence at all, so Yang Kai wasable to determine it was Chen Shi Tao riding her Star Shuttle.
Slowing the Saint Qi circulating through his body, Yang Kai waiting quietly for her to arrive.Amoment later, Chen Shi Tao floated down from above and landed not far away from Yang Kai, looking at him with a smile.
After a few days of meditation, Chen Shi Tao had apparently completely restored herself. At this moment, her complexion waslike that of peach blossom and the shimmering quality of her eyes gave her a unique and enrapturing charm. After she landed, afaint aroma wafted from her body towards Yang Kai, causing his spirit to shake slightly.
“Sister Chen,” Yang Kai greeted her with a polite nod, raising his brow a bit as he commented, “Looking at Sister Chen’scomplexion, it seems you've recovered completely, yes?”
Chen Shi Tao smiled, “Thank you for worrying, Little Brother Yang. Fortunately, | wasn’t injured, just somewhat exhausted, soafter a few days of meditation my Saint Qi and strength had been restored.”
“En, that’s good. Does Sister Chen have something she needs to discuss? Or perhaps you are ready to leave?”
“Not yet,” Chen Shi Tao shook her head slowly, “While Fan Lei’s injuries were not too serious this time, they also were not light,so I’m afraid we'll need to stay here for a few more days.”
“Oh? Good, | also happen to need a few days to finish a little something here.”
“This Young Lady came here this time specifically to thank Little Brother Yang for assisting us twice. Although the first time therewas no risk to our lives, without Little Brother Yang coming to our aid the second time, I’m afraid it would have been difficult forus to leave Grand Burial Valley alive. | will not forget this graciousness. If Little Brother Yang ever needs this Young Lady's helpin the future, just come to Clear Sky Sect to call upon me, | will certainly not refuse!”
When she said these words, her face was serious and sincere.
Yang Kai smiled lightly and waved his hand, “I only helped you out a little bit. You being able to survive was all thanks to yourown strength; after all, that Silver Night Thunder Beast took the initiative to retreat after it saw it couldn’t kill you without the helpof that barrier.”
“Is that so?” Chen Shi Tao frowned, seemingly a bit puzzled. If that was really the case, the Silver Night Thunder Beast shouldnot have taken the initiative to provoke them. During these past few days of meditation, Chen Shi Tao had been going over theirencounter carefully but was still unable to understand why the Silver Night Thunder Beast had suddenly retreated.
Thinking it over though, she felt that it had something to do with Yang Kai, but under her subtle probe, Yang Kai had categoricallydenied her assumption, making her wonder if the Silver Night Thunder Beast’s retreat really was for the reason he gave.
Yang Kai didn't intend to discuss thisissue further and simply said, “As foryour thanks, there’s no need to ga,sofar. When cultivatgig gout in otheworld, they will always encounterdifficulties, and since we are notstrangers, it is only natural for us tosupport one another. Perhaps nexttime this Yang will need Sister Chen'sassistance with something.” Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
On Chen Shi Tao pretty face, a fascinating smile appeared as she narrowed her eyes happily, “Being able to meet Little BrotherYang is really this Young Lady’s good fortune.”
“Because you believe I’m a person of great destiny?” Yang Kai laughed jokingly.
“Hehe...” Chen Shi Tao giggled, “Although | have no way to prove such a thing, this Young Lady has faith in her intuition. If notfor me taking advantage of your luck, how could | be standing here with you now, speaking casually like this?”
“Alright. Sure, think whatever you'd like,” Yang Kai shook his head slowly, not trying to argue with her.“Actually...” Chen Shi Tao began to say something but suddenly hesitated.
Yang Kai immediately knew that she should have something she felt awkward about asking him and immediately assumed thepose of a conscientious listener.
Noticing this, Chen Shi Tao slowly continued, “Actually, this time, this Young Lady came here first to thank you, but second to askLittle Brother Yang if he has any intention to join a Sect?”
“Join a Sect?” Yang Kai raised his brow slightly before smiling, “Could it be that Sister Chen wants to invite me to enter Clear SkySect?”
“Talking to smart people like LittleBrother Yang really saves a lot oftrouble,” Chen Shi Tao smiled andnodded, “| certainly ha Such anridea;after all yoy areca\lché ultivator withnb-Eluets to guide you and no Sect toprotect you. At present, you mightnot notice any significant drawbacks,but as your cultivation continues togrow, there will definitely be somesituations that Little Brother Yangwon't be able to cope with on yourown.” The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Yang Kai gently nodded as he knew what she said made sense.
For example, Shi, the unique power Origin Returning Realm master’s possessed, was something Yang Kai had next to noknowledge about. When he had fought against the cultivator brought by Xie Hong Wen to Dragon Cave Mountain, because therewere no Elders or Seniors to inform him about Shi, Yang Kai had fallen into a disadvantage during that fight.
After seeing Yang Kai’s thoughtfulappearance, Chen Shi Tao becameencouraged and hurriedly continued,“And, since you were able ta cultivateto the Seopnd:arde?'s t KingRéalrh all on your own, obviously youraptitude isn’t low, so entering ClearSky Sect shouldn't be difficult. Half ayear later, Clear Sky Sect will hold arecruitment open to all of ShadowedStar. At that time, anyone whopasses will be allowed to enter theSect.” The content is onNovelDrama.Org!
