Chapter 214 Ginseng fed to dogs
"Execute him in the autumn!"
Dai Huanhuan's breath hitched, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.
"Lord Ye, we've known each other for a long time, you're very magnanimous..."
"Don't try that. The laws of the Great Jin Dynasty are sacred and inviolable. You will come back with me to await your fate."
"Wait! My master won't let you take me away!"
"That old thief king? Does he know you're here?"
"I don't know yet, but if I don't go to him soon, he will definitely come to save me! My master is a ninth-grade mid-level cultivator, you are no match for him... wait, what is your cultivation level?"
Ye Kang released his aura and smiled softly: "What do you think?"
"Eighth Rank! No, peak Eighth Rank! How is this possible! What kind of monster are you? It's only been a short time since we last met!"
Dai Huanhuan was stunned. For some reason, her cultivation level could only stagnate. Compared with a genius who had made such great progress, she was immediately thrown into a state of confusion.
But after a moment she shook her head and said, "Even if you are quite strong, you are still far inferior to my master. Although his cultivation is weak now, when it comes to escaping, even the vice leader of the White Lotus Sect is no match for him."
“I believe what you say, young lady, after all, you possess an unparalleled lightness skill.”
Ye Kang's smile widened, making Dai Huanhuan feel uneasy.
"Are you still plotting to use my lightness skill? I'm warning you, my master will not allow it!"
"Alright, then let your master come and talk to me personally. If he is unwilling to teach me the lightness skill, I will arrest you and take you back to be executed."
Ye Kang didn't waste any words, picked up Dai Huanhuan and left.
Since she was completely exhausted, she couldn't possibly expel the mysterious gas a second time.
"You corrupt official! Let me go at once!"
She was struggling when, from above the canyon, a White Lotus cultist suddenly leaped down.
"You two good-for-nothings, you got this so easily! Quickly hand over the treasure you've obtained!"
The cultist laughed wildly, and his eighth-grade innate strength made Dai Huanhuan tremble.
However, Ye Kang didn't waste any words. He used Shadow Step to flash and, together with Dai Huanhuan, punched the cultist on the head.
Boom!
A vibrant head burst open like a watermelon.
Ye Kang shook the filth off his hands and said, "These White Lotus Cult members are like mad dogs. Are you sure you want me to put you down?"
Dai Huanhuan tensed up and immediately shook her head frantically.
"My lord, you are wise and mighty! Please, my lord, take me away!"
It's too dangerous. I'd better stick with this corrupt official for now, at least that will guarantee my safety. I'll settle accounts with this guy once my master finds me.
Dai Huanhuan shamelessly chose to give in.
Ye Kang smiled, ignored her, and went up to touch the corpse.
The two corpses of White Lotus Cult members were actually from a different group; the seventh-grade Xiantian fellow from before had a much larger fortune.
There are several martial arts manuals, two precious plants, and another precious plant that this person was carrying.
Ye Kang directly absorbed the three precious plants, which further improved the Serpent's Sheath Immortal Robe.
He then continued deeper into the canyon, and soon a patch of purple orchids appeared ahead.
"Purple Mist Orchid! This is a top-tier precious plant for setting up illusions! There are so many of them!"
Upon seeing this, Dai Huanhuan exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Kang couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.
"you know?"
"Nonsense, I am the successor of the King of Thieves. If I didn't have a discerning eye, how could I possibly steal treasure?"
Ye Kang nodded. Indeed, the thief should know the most about the treasure.
He smirked: "Perfect timing. I'm looking for lots of treasures, so I'll trouble you to be my encyclopedia."
Dai Huanhuan smiled dismissively.
"Ignorance is bliss. The secret realm is so vast, you're already lucky to have encountered so many Purple Mist Orchids. How many more do you expect to find?"
Ye Kang did not answer, but walked directly to the orchid.
A rough count revealed at least twenty plants.
Dai Huanhuan exclaimed, "This is a top-grade illusion plant. Illusionists who specialize in illusions, as well as your Azure Scale Guards, all desperately need it. If you want to sell it, go find that Madam Dai who practices seductive arts. She might give you an astronomical price. But given your corrupt official nature, it's not like you can't get intimate with a young woman... Wait! What are you doing!"
Without any hesitation, Ye Kang stretched out his right hand and activated his Serpent Shedding Divine Power, instantly absorbing all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the entire orchid patch.
The orchids were visibly withered, completely devoid of any vitality.
The snake-shedding fairy robe was woven directly onto both arms.
What a bountiful harvest!
Dai Huanhuan froze, her entire face filled with those two words.
Distressed!
"What a waste! You actually absorbed the spiritual energy directly! Ginseng is like feeding a dog! Ginseng is like feeding a dog!"
Martial artists can directly absorb precious plants for cultivation, but that would be a waste of their talents, and no intelligent person would do that.
Ye Kang didn't explain further and went straight to the point: "Stop talking nonsense, what did you just say about me? What is my character?"
"The adult is brave and fierce, upright and fearless, and of pure and kind nature..."
"Hmm, it seems you're not entirely useless; at least you have a discerning eye."
Ye Kang tossed over a top-grade Qi-restoring pill.
After eating it, Dai Huanhuan recovered some of her inner energy and was able to follow Ye Kang on her own.
Ye Kang said, "Speak less and do more, and you'll reap the benefits."
He picked up Dai Huanhuan again and quickly headed towards the first crack.
The road was all flat, and we didn't encounter anyone else. It took us only two hours to reach the location.
However, as soon as they arrived at their destination, both of them opened their mouths wide.
Before them, a gloomy city shrouded in mist suddenly appeared on the ground!
From a distance, most of the buildings in the city were damaged, but a few were well-preserved. In some places, you could even see weapons flashing, indicating that people had already been teleported here and were fighting for treasures.
Ye Kang immediately thought of the palace of the Yin Saint Demon Lord.
That place is the Demon Lord's hometown. Could it be that this place is also the hometown of some powerful being?
Dai Huanhuan exclaimed in shock, "How did you know there was an ancient city here! Could it be inside information from the Azure Scale Guard?"
Ye Kang did not deny it. After all, the Azure Scale Guards had controlled the secret realm for many years, so it was reasonable for them to have some kind of roadmap.
He changed the subject, saying, "I need to go inside. Can you use the perspective of a thief to check if anything is wrong?"
Everyone has their own expertise, and you can't go wrong with finding a thief for something like this.
Sure enough, Dai Huanhuan stared at it for a while before saying, "There is a killing formation outside the city, but no one is using it, so it must be abandoned. I can't see anything else besides that."
"If you can see it, others can definitely see it too. Can you find the location of the control array?"
"Are you underestimating me? Give me some time after you go in, and I'll find it."
Ye Kang couldn't help but look at her with even greater respect.
No, sis, you're really good at this?
He just said it casually, without any expectation, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.
"Okay, move closer to me."
