On this day, after refining a Saint Pill, Yang Kai suddenly frowned.
He found that inadvertently, the Yang Liquid stored in his Dantian was about to run out. After replenishing a large amount of Yang Liquid last time, Yang Kai had thought that he wouldn't need to worry about running out of Yang Liquid for at least ten years, but now he knew that he was wrong.
Every time he tore space, he would need to consume several drops of precious Yang Liquid. When Yang Kai had been familiarizing himself with this method a few days ago, his consumption had been astonishing.
It was time to replenish his stock.
Yang Kai couldn't help rejoicing that he still had 60-70 fruits from the Divine Tree in his Black Book space, each of which contained an amazing amount of Yang Attribute energy. If he ate all of them, he would be able to replenish his Dantian.
The Divine Tree was now placed in his Black Book space. Although it wasn't easy for the fruit to grow and the cycle was long, this kind of precious treasure was meant for people to consume, so Yang Kai naturally wouldn't be stingy.
Taking out a fruit, Yang Kai ate it.
The sudden movement woke Sun Yu from his meditation, and when he looked up, his eyes couldn't help lighting up.
He had now reached the Immortal Ascension Boundary, so he could naturally perceive the extraordinariness of the Divine Tree's fruit, especially the Yang Attribute energy flowing through it.
However, in front of Yang Kai, he didn't dare reveal too many thoughts.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue meditating, Yang Kai smiled and reached out to cut him a piece of fruit, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that you can't eat too much of this."
Sun Yu shyly accepted the small piece of fruit and tossed it into his mouth.
A moment later, his Yuan Qi suddenly became violent and his face became extremely red. All of his pores opened up and began spraying out energy, as if he was on the verge of exploding.
Yang Kai didn't pay him any mind and simply allowed him to suppress the violence in his body.
Sun Yu didn't dare neglect and quickly circulated his Secret Art to absorb the energy that was pouring into his body.
After a long while, the berserk aura gradually calmed down. Sun Yu's entire body was brimming with vitality, and his vitality was also much more vigorous. His face was very rosy, and he seemed to be extremely energetic.
"Do you still want it?" Yang Kai asked.
Sun Yu quickly shook his head.
It was just a small piece of fruit, but it had almost caused him to suffer a great loss. Seeing Yang Kai eat one fruit after another without any hesitation, he couldn't help thinking to himself that this Senior was truly worthy of being called a Senior. His own ability was simply incomparable to this Senior's.
Although the fruit was obviously a good thing, Sun Yu knew his limits and didn't dare to eat it again.
Yang Kai ate the 60-70 fruits in one go, and the Dantian's Yang Liquid instantly soared to several hundred drops.
Just as he was feeling satisfied though, Yang Kai's expression suddenly changed and he immersed his consciousness into the Black Book space.
"What's wrong?" Yang Kai's Soul Avatar appeared in front of the giant Divine Tree and asked.
"There's something strange over there," The Divine Tree transmitted.
It had been a long time since Yang Kai had obtained the Divine Tree, and its sentience had grown rapidly. Now, it could communicate with Yang Kai without any hindrance and could clearly express its thoughts, no longer acting like it did before.
"Where?" Yang Kai asked suspiciously.
"Come with me," A golden light suddenly shot out from the Divine Tree and guided Yang Kai.
Following it, Yang Kai soon arrived at a certain spot in the Black Book space, and looking around, his brow furrowed as a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's here!" The Divine Tree continued to transmit its thoughts as the golden light wandered nearby.
Without needing its reminder, Yang Kai also noticed that something was wrong.
There were a lot of broken stones scattered here, and some precious ores were also missing.
In particular, the number of strange stones he had brought back from Star Field was significantly less.
Yang Kai clearly remembered that after experiencing the storm in Star Field, he had collected a lot of strange stones and placed them here, as well as the ores he had swept up from Nine Heavens Holy Land.
But now, it seemed that something had absorbed the essence of some of these ores, leaving behind only some useless impurities.
Yang Kai glanced over at the Divine Tree suspiciously.
Last time, he had inadvertently discovered a similar problem, but at the time, he had thought it was the Divine Tree's doing so he hadn't paid it any mind.
Now, it seemed that this had nothing to do with the Divine Tree because it would not lie to him.
"You've been here all this time, have you found anything?" Yang Kai asked as he carefully scanned the pile of ores with his Divine Sense, but found nothing.
"I haven't found anything," The Divine Tree hesitated for a moment before replying, "I just feel like something is strange here."
"Help me keep an eye on this place, if you find anything, tell me immediately," Yang Kai said.
Such a strange thing happening in the Black Book space confused Yang Kai.
The energy in these strange stones should have suddenly disappeared, so it should have been swallowed up. If the Divine Tree didn't do it, then who did?
If this problem wasn't solved, Yang Kai felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
After receiving a response from the Divine Tree, Yang Kai left the Black Book space and continued to improve his Alchemy skills.
Many days passed peacefully until one day, Yang Kai once again felt the call of the Divine Tree.
Without hesitation, Yang Kai quickly sent his Divine Sense into the Black Book space and asked, "Did you find something?"
"En." Another golden ray shot out from the Divine Tree and arrived at the pile of ores. It wandered around two of the ores. "It's them. I can feel it. They are absorbing the essence of those ores. I'm sure of it."
Following the direction it pointed, Yang Kai fixed his eyes on it and couldn't help letting out a light sigh.
Although there were many ores here and they were all very disorderly, Yang Kai recognized these two stones and clearly remembered where he had obtained them.
Because they were quite special, different from the other ores he had.
Round Black Stones.
The first one was found in the cave mansion where he obtained the Soul Devouring Insects. At that time, Yang Kai hadn't yet arrived at Soaring Heaven Sect and had followed Cangyan and Feiyu into the cave mansion to investigate. Cangyan and Feiyu had brought back a few things from the depths of the cave mansion, one of which was this round black stone, which Yang Kai had eventually obtained.
The second round black stone was found in Floating Clouds City. While waiting for the Thousand Year Demon Flower to bloom, Yang Kai had been dragged by Du Wan and Mi Na to participate in the Alchemy Summit. When he finally won first place, he had found it in the Universe Bag of a Saint Grade Alchemist.
Because the two round black stones were very similar, almost identical, Yang Kai had paid some attention to them at that time and had carefully examined them, but unfortunately he hadn't been able to find anything special.
However, Yang Kai hadn't expected that the culprit behind the strange events in his Black Book space would actually be these two.
What kind of strange stone in this world could absorb the essence of other ores? Yang Kai thought about it for a long time but still couldn't think of anything.
Releasing his Divine Sense, Yang Kai carefully examined the two round black stones, and after a while, Yang Kai's expression became strange.
He discovered that within the two pitch-black round stones, there were actually some exquisite patterns that resembled the meridians of a human body. Unfortunately, the patterns were not very coherent and were intermittent, as if the meridians of some martial artist had been destroyed by someone.
This discovery surprised Yang Kai.
Because when he first obtained these two round black stones, Yang Kai had carefully examined them and found that there was nothing inside them at that time.
The disjointed patterns that had appeared inside them were obviously related to the absorption of the essence of the ores around them.
At this moment, there was some unusual energy flowing through these patterns, similar to the Yuan Qi in a cultivator's body.
[These two strange stones are quite interesting!]
After thinking about it for a moment, Yang Kai no longer paid any attention to them. After learning what had happened inside the Black Book space, he felt relieved and simply told the Divine Tree to continue observing these two strange stones while his consciousness left the Black Book space.
He faintly felt that these two strange stones weren't simple and that if they were allowed to continue absorbing the essence of other ores, they might undergo some unexpected changes.
By absorbing the essence of other ores, they would become stronger, and when the time came to refine a powerful artifact, Yang Kai was sure to refine it.
Opening his eyes and looking around, Yang Kai saw that the Golden Dragon was still swallowing the surrounding energy and wouldn't stop anytime soon. Sun Yu was also immersed in her cultivation, refusing to relax.
Yang Kai could only continue performing Alchemy.
In the Holy Tomb, he had refined a drop of Demon God's blood and obtained the Great Demon God's Divine Technique, the Soul Fission Technique. Yang Kai had also been cultivating this technique and was making good progress. His Soul Fission Technique was constantly being nourished by the six coloured Soul Warming Lotus, constantly becoming stronger and tougher.
At this moment, Yang Kai also clearly realized the benefits of the Soul Fission Technique.
When this Divine Technique was cultivated to the extreme, it was equivalent to a person having two Souls, allowing them to cultivate Spiritual Energy at twice the speed of others.
There had never been a Secret Art in this world that had such a miraculous effect.
Although Yang Kai had not yet cultivated this technique to the extreme, he could clearly feel that because of the existence of his Soul Fission Technique, whether it was the growth or recovery of his Spiritual Energy, both were significantly better than before.
As such, Yang Kai spared no effort in cultivating his Soul Fission Technique, hoping that one day it would be able to play its role.
When the Soul Fission Technique was cultivated to the extreme, as long as one could find a suitable body, they could allow their Soul Fission Technique to enter that body and become their own Avatar, allowing them to go to places where they couldn't.
Yang Kai was also refining the Saint Grade High-Rank artifact that belonged to the old Holy Master. The Silver Leaf filled with mysterious power was extremely difficult to refine, but fortunately, Yang Kai had plenty of time so he wasn't in a hurry.
After confirming the changes in the Black Book space that day, Yang Kai would check the two pitch-black round stones every few days to see what kind of changes they had undergone.
As time passed, the exquisite patterns inside them gradually became more coherent, but the price he had to pay was that the number of ores Yang Kai had collected had greatly decreased. Of the number of rare ores he had obtained from the Star Field and Nine Heavens Holy Land, only less than half remained.
At this rate, it would only be a year or so before all the ores in the Black Book space would be exhausted.
Inside the golden sea of energy, whether it was Yang Kai or Sun Yu, both temporarily forgot about the passage of time and wholeheartedly busied themselves with their own affairs. Occasionally, the two of them would stop what they were doing and chat for a while before resuming their work, neither of them disturbing the other.
The days passed in a meaningful manner. Whether it was Yang Kai or Sun Yu, both of them had obtained great growth and benefits during this time's changes.
