With a Secret Art as Heaven-defying as the Heaven Devouring Battle Law, Yang Kai had already advanced into the Ninth-Step Earth Realm a month ago. He was only one step away from advancing into the Heaven Realm; however, he remained stagnant at this Realm even though one month had passed since then.

It was not that his cultivation resources weren’t sufficient. He refined and devoured over hundreds of Black Jades every day. After accumulating bit by bit for a whole month, this amount was extrely terrifying. It should have been enough to et the advancent requirents a long ti ago.

It was not that his aptitude was lacking either. The identity given to him by the Divine Armant World might only have average abilities, but Yang Kai himself was a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. Sothing like aptitude would not limit his progress in any way.

When it ca down to it, it seed he was simply lacking a certain pill.

In the Divine Armant World, it was not difficult to advance from the Mortal Realm to the Earth Realm. Anybody with adequate aptitude and sufficient cultivation resources could advance from the Mortal Realm to the Earth Realm as long as they put in enough effort.

However, it was not as easy when it ca to advancing from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm. One required the help of a pill known as the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill in order to succeed. Without that pill, one’s efforts would be futile no matter how great their aptitude or cultivation resources were.

Yang Kai originally wanted to borrow his many years of cultivation experience to force his way through this shackle, but to his dismay, he discovered that all his efforts were in vain after working hard for one month!

His cultivation seed to be bound firmly by shackles. Furthermore, the invisible chains vaguely felt like the Principles of the Heavenly Way. It could be said that the Divine Armant World itself was preventing him from advancing into the Heaven Realm!

Unless he had the strength to go against the entire Divine Armant World, there was no way he could break these shackles.

Advancing from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm required the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill. On the other hand, advancing from the Heaven Realm to the Spirit Realm required the Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pill. The forr could only be refined by a Heaven Grade Alchemist while the latter needed a Spirit Grade Alchemist. The Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill was a Heaven Grade pill while the Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pill was a Spirit Grade Pill!

Thanks to the mories from his Divine Armant World self, Yang Kai had long known that the status of Alchemists was extrely high in this damned place. In fact, it was even higher than in any other world that he had ever known in the past. That was because Alchemists were needed to refine both the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill and the Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pill. It could be said the advancent of a cultivator often depended on a tiny little pill!

It was sowhat incomprehensible.

In the outside world, many pills had the effects of aiding advancent and improving the success rate of breakthroughs. Be that as it may, it was never a necessary component. Even without those pills, there was hope for a cultivator to achieve a breakthrough by relying on their own efforts.

However, that was impossible in the Divine Armant World! The Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill and the Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pill were requirents for those standing at the peak of the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm respectively.

Consequently, the status of Alchemists beca absolutely unrivalled in this World. Not only were many Masters willing to act as bodyguards for Alchemists in the sa Realm as themselves, but they were also very proud of such deeds.

While this was sothing that was inconceivable in the outside world, it was sothing very normal in the Divine Armant World.

Yang Kai had very profound accomplishnts in the Alchemic Dao. All the Heavenly Yuan Seal Stabilizing Pills that were currently being consud by Void Land’s disciples when advancing into the Open Heaven Realm ca from his hands. Needless to say, he had handed this matter over to Little Senior Sister Xia Ning Chang and Wondrous Pill Great Emperor now.

With his attainnts in the Alchemic Dao, refining a Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill was not difficult. If not for the limitations of his cultivation, even refining the Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pills would not be a problem. The main issue was that... he did not have the pill recipe!

This was an extrely awkward problem.

Void Spirit Sword Sect was a run-down Sect in the Divine Armant World. It might have been glorious 1,000 years ago, but that glory was long since faded. They no longer had any Alchemists in their Sect, much less various rare pill recipes.

Regardless of whether it was Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill or Hundred Revolutions Clear Heart Pill, both were extrely valuable and they would never be sold to the general public.

More importantly, the pill recipes of each Alchemist were different, each one having slight variations and arrangents. However, all the results were ultimately the sa. The Clear Heart Pills refined by any Alchemist would have the effect of helping cultivators break through to the next Great Realm. It was just that the subtle differences in their refining thods and materials would also result in slightly different effects.

If Yang Kai wanted a Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill, then aside from refining one himself, he could only spend copious amounts of money to purchase it.

Unfortunately, there were many cultivators in this world who were stuck at the peak of the Earth Realm and wanted to advance into the Heaven Realm. If nothing else, Roaring Tiger Sect’s Sect Master Zhuang Ju He, Tian Luo Hall’s forr Palace Master Shu Wan Cheng and Great Elder Li Zheng Qing had been stuck at the peak of the Earth Realm because they had no Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill.

Both parties had once paid exorbitant prices for a Heaven Grade Alchemist to help them refine a Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill; however, that Heaven Grade Alchemist’s schedule was fully booked for years to co. Even though the Heaven Grade Alchemist accepted their luxurious gifts with no trace of politeness, there was a long waiting list before they could obtain their Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill!

Zhuang Ju He had a four-year wait before his turn for the Heaven Grade Alchemist to refine the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill for him. On the other hand, Shu Wan Cheng was worse. He had to wait for ten years!

How could Yang Kai afford to wait for such a long ti? Besides, a conservative estimate indicated that he would have to spend 100 years in the Divine Armant World. Running around on his own for such a long ti would be too tiring. He would have to recruit so trustworthy people. Those in the Earth Realm were too weak while those in the Heaven Realm were just barely acceptable. Be that as it may, who would be willing to slave away for him without the temptation of the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill?

After thinking about it, Yang Kai felt that it was more secure to obtain this pill recipe for himself. As long as he could refine the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill, he could easily obtain both cultivation resources and subordinates in the Heaven Realm.

Unfortunately, the Alchemists in the Divine Armant World were extrely respected. Each Alchemist had a large group of guards around them, so he could not conspire against them; thus, he had no choice but to think of a different thod.

Gao Xin Peng was the Heaven Grade Alchemist who accepted Zhuang Ju He’s large paynt but could only perform Alchemy four years later. According to Zhuang Ju He, Gao Xin Peng belonged to a great force known as Profound Pill Sect. This Sect was built on the Alchemic Dao and their inheritance had been passed down for countless years. There were as many Masters in the Sect as there were clouds, which not only included a large number of Heaven Realm Masters, but also Spirit Realm Masters.

At present, the Profound Pill Sect was one of the top ten Sects in the Divine Armant World. The main reason was that the Sect Master of the Profound Pill Sect had won one of the Ten Great Divine Armants during the last Divine Armant Tournant, the dicine King Furnace!

Originally, there were several Sects in the Divine Armant World which dealt with Alchemy. They used to compete with the Profound Pill Sect on equal ground, but ever since the dicine King Furnace ca to the Profound Pill Sect, the Profound Pill Sect established its position as the top Alchemy Sect in one fell swoop.

For the next 100 years, the dicine King Furnace would bring overwhelming prosperity to Profound Pill Sect, and it could be said to be at the peak of its power!

Gao Xin Peng was not only backed by a behemoth like Profound Pill Sect, but he was also a Heaven Grade Alchemist himself. It could be said that his status was extrely noble.

The truth was that Shi Ming Hui felt extrely uneasy about Yang Kai’s intention to et Gao Xin Peng; even so, Yang Kai had already made up his mind. There was nothing Shi Ming Hui could do to stop Yang Kai.

Three days later, three people set off from Void Spirit Sword Sect on horseback and headed straight for Heavenly Martial City.

Aside from Shi Ming Hui, there was also a female Elder from Roaring Tiger Sect who was travelling with Yang Kai. She was known as Du Yu Yu. There was no saying what Zhuang Ju He’s intentions were, but Du Yu Yu was as beautiful as a cherry blossom; moreover, she had two majestic peaks, a soft and slender waist, and enchanting eyes. Even the way she spoke was very sweet and charming.

Yang Kai was not bothered by this as he only asked Zhuang Ju He to send sobody to accompany him to Heavenly Martial City. Zhuang Ju He probably sent Du Yu Yu here because he felt that a woman was easier to talk to.

Heavenly Martial City was not located near Void Spirit Sword Sect, but it was not far either.

After travelling for just over three days, a majestic city suddenly appeared in front of them.

Shi Ming Hui called out, “Sir, Heavenly Martial City is just ahead.”

Yang Kai lifted his head and looked at the sky; then, he nodded, “Let’s find a place to stay.”

Shi Ming Hui quickly said, “Rest assured, Sir. This one has made arrangents in advance. Tian Luo Hall has property here.”

“Very good.” Although Yang Kai was surprised that Tian Luo Hall had property here, he did not inquire any further.

It didn’t take long for the three of them to enter the city. Under Shi Ming Hui’s guidance, they soon arrived in front of a shop. The shopkeeper imdiately greeted them and arranged living quarters for them in the inner courtyard as soon as they stepped inside.

There was another ten days before Gao Xin Peng was scheduled to arrive at Heavenly Martial City, so Yang Kai was not anxious. What he needed to figure out right now was how to et Gao Xin Peng and obtain the pill recipe for the Ten Revolutions Clear Heart Pill from him.

According to the information Yang Kai obtained, Gao Xin Peng ca here to refine Life Extension Pills for Heavenly Martial City’s City Lord to whom he was indebted.

When he arrived, Gao Xin Peng would surely be welcod into the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord himself was at the peak of the Heaven Realm and in addition, commanded a large number of Masters.

[I will lose all chance of contact if he enters the City Lord’s Mansion. Perhaps... I can approach Heavenly Martial City’s City Lord and enter the City Lord’s Mansion in advance to wait for his arrival?]

Yang Kai pondered for so ti and a plan gradually forming in his mind. All of a sudden, a knock ca from outside the door and he looked up reflexively, “Enter!”

...

The door opened and Du Yu Yu walked in with a tray. She was dressed very lightly; furthermore, there were several plates of exquisite dishes and a bottle of alcohol on the tray.

Yang Kai couldn’t help taking a second glance at the woman. The main reason was that she was very scantily dressed. Her clothes were as thin as gossar and her chest and thighs exposed large patches of her snow-white skin. What’s more, she seed to have just gotten out of the bath. As soon as she walked into the room, a faint fragrance filled the air. Her hair that was not fully dry also gave her a stunning appearance.

Seeming to notice Yang Kai’s gaze, Du Yu Yu lowered her head slightly and a red blush crept across her face as she sweetly announced, “Sir, it’s ti to eat!”

“En!” He nodded lightly, “Put it down over there.”

Du Yu Yu placed the dishes on the table and personally poured him a glass of wine before she stood nearby with her hands hanging by her sides.

“I don’t need you to serve here. Help buy sothing instead,” Yang Kai instructed.

“What do you want this Mistress to buy?”

“First, bring a brush and so paper!”

She made a sound in response and turned around to walk out again.

Not long afterward, she brought the brush and paper. Yang Kai wrote sothing down before he handed it back to her.

Du Yu Yu glanced at the paper and saw a list of herbs. Unable to recognize the nas but still understanding what she had to do, she bowed elegantly, “This Mistress will go and buy them now.”

...

Yang Kai had decided to bring 20% of the mining proceeds accumulated by Void Spirit Sword Sect over the past two months on this trip in case he needed to purchase sothing. As a result, there were close to 10,000 pieces of Black Jade in his wallet. Judging from the current situation, his decision had been a wise one.
