    Yang Kai could sense that these brightly lit Alchemy mes had surrounded him as they jumped around him. Despite not knowing what was going on, he had a feeling that if he wanted, he could easily obtain any of the Alchemy mes, be it a Mortal me or a Spirit me.


    This discovery made him arch his brow.


    He recalled that Wu Zheng Qi had said the greater a person’s aptitude, the better the Alchemy me they could get in the Divine me Cave. It then dawned on Yang Kai that even though he was just a Heaven Grade Alchemist in the Divine Armament World, his attainments in the Alchemic Dao far exceeded the limits of this World. Regardless of whether these Alchemy mes were sentient, they seemed to have instinctively realised his uniqueness, which was why they proactively approached him.


    Almost all the Alchemy mes in the Divine me Cave had gathered around Yang Kai except for one particr me.


    There was a flickering Alchemy me in a spot that was several hundred metres away from Yang Kai. He reckoned that it was a Heaven me by judging from its brightness, and it could be considered a better one among those in the Heaven Grade.


    The Heaven mes around Yang Kai were notparable to it in terms of brightness or purity.


    Yang Kai thought about Alchemist Wei, who had entered the ce first, and had a feeling that thetter was just over there as the special Heaven me was restricted by him. That was the reason it was not drawn over.


    Yang Kai wasn’t really concerned about what was going on over there. Since Alchemist Wei had prepared for it for two years, he must have a special technique to get the Heaven me he wanted. Moreover, Yang Kai wasn’t interested in Heaven mes at all.


    What attracted him were the small number of Spirit mes.


    Wu Zheng Qi had advised him against getting a Spirit me since he didn’t have the power to match, as that would cause him to be injured. However, that piece of advice was only applicable to the average person. Yang Kai had the confidence to subdue a Spirit me.


    He could still use a Spirit me when he became a Spirit Grade Alchemist in the future, and he didn’t have to waste time upgrading or changing his Alchemy me. Since he hade to the Divine me Cave, Yang Kai naturally had to get the best one.


    After making up his mind, he examined the lively Alchemy mes around him and soon found his target.


    It was an Alchemy me that was one of the brightest in this ce. If he wasn’t mistaken, this was supposed to be a Spirit me. Moreover, this Alchemy me gave off a gentle feeling, which was unlike some of the restless mes, so it was suitable to be used for refining pills.


    This orange Spirit me was originally in the outer ring, but after Yang Kai sent a signal over, it slowly came closer and soon reached a spot that was one metre away from him.


    While the Spirit me was moving forward, the other Alchemy mes proactively stepped aside as though they had realised how determined Yang Kai was.


    The Spirit me continued moving forward, but just when it was about to reach Yang Kai, it abruptly stopped.


    Yang Kai had no idea what was going on, but the next instant, all the Alchemy mes around him seemed to be flustered, as though a ferocious beast wasing their way. In the blink of an eye, they dissipated and went into hiding. The countless lights that Yang Kai could sense instantly vanished.


    The originally colourful world soon fell intoplete darkness.


    Yang Kai was shocked, not knowing what he had done that caused those Alchemy mes to run away.


    Looking around, he could see that the Alchemy me restricted by Alchemist Wei was pulsating; however, Alchemist Wei seemed to have a way to control it. Yang Kai couldn’t see clearly what the other party was doing, but the Alchemy me was unable to flee regardless of how hard it tried. It seemed to be bound to that exact spot. It seemed that it was just a matter of time before the me was captured by Alchemist Wei.


    Yang Kai came to his senses and thought back on what he had been doing since he came to this ce, but he didn’t think he had done anything wrong. Nevertheless, the Alchemy mes that had surrounded him disappeared just like that.


    Just then, he caught a glimpse of a light that was slowly flying towards him from a distance. It was a white me that wasn’t particrly bright. ording to his observation, he reckoned that it was an Alchemy me in the Mortal Grade.


    However, the light was astonishingly pure. Yang Kai hadn’t seen any other Alchemy me with such purity.


    The Mortal me soon reached Yang Kai andnded in front of him, then became unmoving.


    Yang Kai was startled for a moment as he was torn between tears andughter.


    [What’s going on?] All the Alchemy mes were gone, leaving behind a Mortal me. He was now a Heaven Grade Alchemist, so there was no way he would take a Mortal me, which wouldn’t meet his requirements for making pills.


    After observing the Mortal me for a moment, Yang Kai concluded that besides the fact that the light was pure, there was nothing special about it. Therefore, he stopped paying attention to it.


    Then, he emptied his mind and sensed his surroundings in an attempt to draw the Alchemy mes back to him.


    However, his action elicited a strange reaction from the small white Mortal me. Like a naughty kid, it jumped around in Yang Kai’s perception to draw his attention.


    Seeing that Yang Kai ignored it, the me started circling around him.


    A momentter, it suddenly charged towards the Heaven me bound by Alchemist Wei. This turn of events finally attracted Yang Kai’s attention.


    He could sense that the Heaven me bound by Alchemist Wei became even more flustered while the Alchemist eximed.


    Alchemist Wei did not have long to ponder the issue, however, as the Mortal me dashed forward and instantly engulfed the Heaven me with its white light. After the dust settled, the light that belonged to the Heaven me was nowhere to be seen.


    The white Alchemy me didn’t change one bit as it swaggered back towards Yang Kai. Upon reaching him, the me gently whirled around as though it was trying to brag.


    Yang Kai was bbergasted.


    Although it was the first time he came across this situation, it was obvious to him that the Heaven me was swallowed by this white Mortal me.


    Wu Zheng Qi said that all the Alchemy mes in the Divine me Cave were nted with seals, so there was no way they would devour each other. What was going on with this white light then?


    Moreover, only Alchemy mes of higher Grades could gobble up ones of lower Grade. How did a Mortal me wolf down a Heaven me?


    “Who destroyed my me!? Who?!” Alchemist Wei’s roar reverberated across the entire cave.


    Getting no reply, Wei Cheng said through clenched teeth, “Good. Unless you stay in this cave forever, this Wei will find out who you are sooner orter! This matter is not settled!”


    After Wei Cheng barked for a while more, Yang Kai could hear the footsteps fading into the distance.


    There was a dark expression on Yang Kai’s face as he looked at the white light in front of him. He had practically done nothing, but it seemed that a grudge had been formed between Wei Cheng and him.


    Yang Kai could only hope that he wasn’t the only person in the cave at this moment; otherwise, he would never be able to exin himself.


    After witnessing how the white light swallowed the Heaven me, Yang Kai realised that this white me was different somehow. The average Mortal me was not able to do that.


    Furthermore, regardless of how hard he tried to sense his surroundings, the other Alchemy mes in the cave didn’t respond to him. As he recalled the sight of those Alchemy mes fleeing, Yang Kai let out a long sigh.


    Now, it seemed that regardless of what he thought, he had to take this white me.


    Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the process. As soon as Yang Kai ryed his intent, the white me flew towards him and directly disappeared into his body.


    At the same time, Yang Kai could clearly feel that there was a new strange power in his body. The power wasn’t harmful to him, but he needed some time to refine and familiarise himself with it before he could really use it.


    He had achieved his goal foring to the Divine me Cave. Although he had only taken a Mortal me, Yang Kai reckoned that it wasn’t just any ordinary Mortal me judging from its strange behaviour.


    It seemed that he had to head to Records Hall to find out what kind of Alchemy me he had epted.


    ...


    Standing up, he shuffled towards the light at the entrance and soon left the Divine me Cave. Then, he walked up the spiralling path.


    One hourter, Yang Kai could finally see bright sunlight again, which suggested that he had finally left the cave. Before he could adjust to the brightness though, he heard someone speaking through gritted teeth, “It’s really you!”


    Yang Kai turned his head and saw Wei Cheng ring at him. The Blood Warriors behind him sported dark expressions as well. On the other hand, Wu Zheng Qi was standing with his hands behind his back as he looked curiously at Yang Kai.


    A dejected Yang Kai knew that the trouble was inevitable, but he still pretended to know nothing, “Vice Hall Master Wu, this…”


    Wu Zheng Qi exined, “Alchemist Wei came across an ident when he was trying to obtain an Alchemy me in the cave. It seems that he was unable to achieve his goal because he was disturbed; therefore, Alchemist Yang, he wants to know what you did down there.”


    “Of course I was trying to get an Alchemy me in the cave. What else could I do?” Yang Kai frowned, “I didn’t act against anyone or anything. Why don’t you ask the other Alchemists who have entered the cave?”


    Wei Cheng said through clenched teeth, “There were only the two of us in the cave. There were no other Alchemists! If you hadn’t done anything, this Wei couldn’t possibly have failed. I was about to seed!”


    Yang Kai shook his head, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Alchemist Wei. I was just trying to obtain an Alchemy me for myself. However, I was shocked to hear someone eximing just now. It seems that it was you who screamed.”


    A relentless Wei Cheng snapped, “Stop ying dumb! Who else could it be if it weren’t you?”


    Yang Kai gazed at him and replied, “It’s the first time we meet, Alchemist Wei, and there are no grudges between us. Both of us are the Heaven Grade Alchemists of Profound Pill Sect, so why would I act against you?”


    Wu Zheng Qi nodded, “That’s true. What actually happened, Alchemist Wei?”


    ...


    Wei Cheng still glowered at Yang Kai, but he realised that thetter was right. It was the first time they met, and there were no grudges between them. There was no reason for Yang Kai to derail his ns; however, as he recalled the two years he had spent getting prepared and the fact that he was so close to seeding, he was unable to just let the issue drop.
