This Alchemy technique caused Yang Kai’s excitement to surge.

In the past, the pills he refined weren’t of very high grade, and the materials were easy to find, so there was no problem with only being able to obtain one pill from each set of materials.

Backed by High Heaven Sect, Yang Kai didn’t need to worry about sourcing such materials.

But now that he was an Origin King Grade Alchemist, the materials he needed to refine each Spirit Pill weren’t just extremely valuable, they were also incredibly difficult to find and needed an appropriate pill spirit to successfully produce. Even with High Heaven Sect, there was no way so many materials could be found.

However, if he could refine more than one Spirit Pill from a single set of materials, the profit for him would be enormous.

This matter wasn’t urgent though. Yang Kai had just become an Origin King Grade Alchemist, and he would need to accumulate a vast amount of experience refining Origin King Grade Spirit Pills before he could begin trying to comprehend more profound techniques.

…..

Half a month later, Yang Kai returned to Green Water City.

He had not found Su Yan here, so he wasn’t prepared to continue idling on this Cultivation Star. He still needed to return to Tong Xuan Realm as soon as possible so he could migrate his relatives and friends to Shadowed Star so they could have a better cultivation environment and resources.

When he arrived at the inn where Qian Tong and the others had been staying, Yang Kai released his Divine Sense to find them but was immediately shocked.

Qian Tong and the others weren’t here.

This unexpected discovery caused his heart to clench as he wondered if Qian Tong and the others had some kind of accident; after all, when he had left that day, he had told them he would meet them back here around this time.

Where had they gone?

Yang Kai frowned, took out a communication artifact, and poured his Divine Sense into it.

A moment later, the artifact lit up as a new Spiritual Energy fluctuation appeared inside of it. Yang Kai quickly sank his mind into it.

After hearing the message Qian Tong sent to him, Yang Kai was astonished.

Rather than an accident, Qian Tong and the others were living quite well right now and became High Ranking Guest Elders of Green Water City through a series of events.

This result surprised Yang Kai greatly.

Putting away the communication artifact, Yang Kai left the inn and walked towards a building at the centre of Green Water City.

When he got there, Qian Tong and the others were already waiting outside for him.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for several months, none of them asked what Yang Kai had been doing, instead just enthusiastically welcoming him into the building. After having a few maids serve tea, they began explaining the situation to Yang Kai.

Soon after Yang Kai left that day, the City Lord of Green Water City personally came to visit Qian Tong and the others.

This was not a surprise, however, as a group of five peak Third-Order Origin Returning Realm masters could not be ignored, even on this Green Mountains Star. What’s more, Green Water City was just a small city, and besides the City Lord and Vice City Lord, there were no other cultivators in this city who had reached the Third-Order Origin Realm.

Qian Tong and the others arriving so suddenly had obviously put Green Water City’s City Lord on edge, not knowing what this group’s intentions were. Worried, he came to inquire about Qian Tong and the others’ purpose.

After learning that Qian Tong and the others weren’t from Green Mountains Star and had only come here to participate in the Blood Prison Trial, Green Water City’s City Lord finally relaxed.

Immediately, he invited Qian Tong and the others to serve as the Elders of Green Water City!

Qian Tong and the others didn’t intend to agree at first, as Green Mountains Star was just a place for them to attempt to break through and they would sooner or later return to Shadowed Star.

Rashly agreeing to serve as an Elder of a city here would be too irresponsible.

However, after hearing out Green Water City’s City Lord’s entire proposal, learning that he too intended to participate in the Blood Prison Trial and that he wished for them to assist him in exchange for some inside information, Qian Tong and the others thought about it for a while and agreed.

However, they refused to become official Elders and instead decided to accept roles as Guest Elders.

They had also informed Green Water City’s City Lord that they would be leaving Green Mountains Star after the Blood Prison Trial.

Green Water City’s City Lord readily agreed.

This was why they no longer lived at the inn and had settled in a residence arranged for them by Green Water City’s City Lord.

“In the end, we’re outsiders, so this City Lord being wary of us is only natural. As is his desire to win us over, and since he is a native cultivator of Green Mountains Star, he clearly knows a lot more about the Blood Prison Trial than we do, so joining him is beneficial to us as well. It’s essentially an alliance of mutual interests,” Qian Tong said lightly.

“En,” Yang Kai no
