Among these Open Heaven Stage masters, Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch was definitely one of them, and the Protector Venerable who had led them here should all be at the Open Heaven Stage. As for whether there were any others, Yang Kai had no idea.
However, with at least eight Open Heaven Stage masters guarding this place, even if the Seven Skillful Land couldn’t compare to the Cave Heaven and Paradise, it wouldn’t be too bad in this Outer Universe world.
When Yang Kai first entered this place, what he had seen and heard had given him a rough understanding of this Seven Skillful Land. As a servant of the Seven Skillful Land’s Fire Spiritual Land, he didn’t know what kind of fate he would face in three days.
Thinking for a moment, Yang Kai walked out of his room and walked towards a house on his left.
When he came here just now, there was someone living in this house. Yang Kai remembered that it was a young man, and since he had nothing to do, he decided to go and gather some information.
He had to figure out what these servants were doing.
However, judging from Zhou Zheng’s attitude today, even if he had some hard work to do, it wouldn’t be difficult.
The servants’ quarters here weren’t densely built, each of them separated by a dozen or so meters. In a few steps, Yang Kai arrived in front of the house. The house’s restrictions had been opened and the door was tightly shut. Yang Kai raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a moment of silence, the door opened and the young man he had seen before stood at the door, staring at Yang Kai indifferently, “What is it?”
Yang Kai cupped his hands and said, “Friend, this little brother has just arrived and knows nothing about this place, so I thought…”
“Scram!” The young man didn’t wait for Yang Kai to finish speaking before closing the door.
Yang Kai rubbed his nose, a look of speechlessness appearing on his face, but since the other party didn’t want to say anything, he couldn’t do anything about it. After thinking about it for a moment, he walked towards the next house.
The owner of the second house was quite warm and welcoming. It was a short old man who welcomed Yang Kai into the house and took a seat.
Yang Kai explained what he had just said, and the old man looked at him with a smile and asked, “Little friend, where did you come from?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “I came here from a place without name, I don’t know how to call it.”
The old man asked, “Then does little friend have any treasures for this old master?”
Yang Kai blinked and almost thought he had heard wrong, asking in surprise, “What did Senior say?”
The old man smiled and said, “If Little Friend wants to ask something, this old master is willing to answer, but you can’t expect this old master to tell you for free. If i can obtain something as a thanks, that would be for the best.”
Only now did Yang Kai understand that these people were looking for benefits.
He had quite a few treasures on him, such as the Azure Dragon Spear, Mysterious Boundary Bead, and so on. Even in this Outer Universe world, there were many people who would fight to obtain them, but these things couldn’t be given away to others. Most likely, other people wouldn’t even be interested in these things. Moreover, Yang Kai had only asked him a few questions, yet he was already asking him for benefits. This made Yang Kai feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Smiling lightly, Yang Kai stood up, cupped his fists, and walked out.
The old man didn’t try to persuade him to stay.
After two failures, Yang Kai also gave up on trying to find out more. In any case, everything would be clear in three days.
Returning to his residence, he took out the Space Spirit Bead and tried to contact Zhang Ruoxi again, but to no avail. He could only meditate and adjust his breathing. Now that he had condensed his Wood Attribute, the next thing he needed to condense was the Fire Attribute. It was unknown whether it was fate or coincidence, but this time, he had been drawn into the Seven Skillful Land and entered the Fire Spiritual Land.
He just didn’t know if there were any suitable resources here.
Unknowingly, the night passed.
The next day, before the sun had even risen, the sound of a rooster’s cry rang out. Yang Kai opened his eyes with a look of surprise.
It had been many years since he had heard such a sound. When the rooster cry rang out, it was only heard by ordinary families. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but when he listened carefully, it was indeed the sound of a rooster crowing.
With a strange look on his face, Yang Kai walked down from the second floor’s resting area, opened the restriction, and looked outside.
The sky outside was dark, but it was still quite lively. Many servants from the Fire Spiritual Land walked out from their houses, some of them alone, some of them transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the distance.
At the center of this village, a golden chicken half the height of a man was floating in the air, like a small sun, its entire body emitting a golden light as it raised its head and cried.
This loud voice came from the mouth of this golden chicken.
Yang Kai looked over and clicked his tongue in wonder.
He could feel that this Golden Chicken should be a spiritual beast with a variant bloodline, and its strength was not low, he didn’t know who raised it.
With the three cries of the chicken, more than half of the village was emptied and at least several hundred people had left.
Seeing this, Yang Kai thought to himself, Could it be that the servant here also need to report to the rooster before going out to work? Just as he was thinking this, he saw the Golden Chicken turn its head and look over. Although it was just a chicken, it also had an arrogant look in its eyes, causing Yang Kai to not know whether to laugh or cry.
The next moment, the Golden Chicken flapped its wings and flew straight towards Yang Kai, landing in front of him.
Looking at each other, Yang Kai was somewhat surprised, not knowing where he had attracted this golden chicken attention.
However, this was the first time Yang Kai had seen such a Spiritual Beast, so he couldn’t help feeling curious. He reached out to touch it, but just as he did so, the Golden Chicken stretched out its head and its sharp beak suddenly pecked towards him.
Yang Kai’s hand was quick, so how could he let it peck him? He quickly pulled back and chuckled, “Your temper is quite big!”
“Cuckoo…” The Golden Chicken spread its wings, its golden feathers standing on end as if it had been offended.
“Stop shouting, what are you shouting for!” Yang Kai glared at it.
The Golden Chicken was even more enraged now, its wings flapping non-stop, creating a violent wind as its half-human body bounced up and down. It seemed it had been angered badly.
Yang Kai was amazed. Seeing this guy’s actions become more violent, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the Golden Chicken’s neck, whispering, “Stop screaming, if you keep screaming, I’ll kill you and make you into soup!”
Cuckoo! The sound was immediately silenced, causing the Golden Chicken’s eyes to widen in disbelief.
Yang Kai sized it up from head to toe and maliciously said, “I’ve never seen a chicken like you in my life, I’m sure it’ll be fat and juicy after stewing it.”
“Then you’re dead,” A coquettish voice suddenly sounded.
Yang Kai looked up and saw a graceful figure walking towards him. It was the woman he had met yesterday, the one who had spoken to Zhou Zheng. He hadn’t paid much attention to her yesterday, but now that he looked at her, he could see that she was only in her early twenties. Her expression was still as lazy as yesterday, her eyes still drowsy, and she looked like she had worked too hard. As she walked over, she was actually yawning, her red lips making one’s imagination run wild.
Yang Kai smiled at her, “Your chicken?”
The woman covered her mouth and giggled, “I don’t dare to speak nonsense.” Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, “Hurry up and let go. If others find out you’re holding General Si Chen like this, you won’t have a good ending.”
“General Si Chen?” Yang Kai lowered his head to look at the Golden Chicken he was strangling and didn’t dare to move, a look of shock appearing on his face. This guy had such a domineering name?
The woman angrily said, “General Si Chen is Venerable’s pet!”
“Uh…” Only now did Yang Kai understand that this Golden Chicken really did have a great background. In this Fire Spiritual Land, a Venerable was like the Sky and the Earth. His pet, even if it was just a Golden Chicken, was not someone anyone could provoke.
Letting out a dry laugh, Yang Kai let go of this General Si Chen and immediately rushed behind the woman to hide. However, its fat butt couldn’t hide at all as it stuck its head out and let out a series of cries towards Yang Kai.
‘I don’t understand’ he said, probably cursing.
“I was just joking, don’t be so excited,” Yang Kai shrugged.
General Si Chen ignored him. It was unknown if he had something to rely on, but he was shouting more fiercely.
“Good, good, Great General, please calm your anger, I’ll treat you to something to eat,” The woman smiled lightly and flipped her small hand. Suddenly, a long, fiery red, crystal clear insect that looked like it was carved from fire jade appeared in her palm. This insect was only three or four inches long and looked like a silkworm, but its body was emitting a scorching aura.
The long worm was a living creature, but it had been sealed by the woman and was unable to move.
Seeing this long worm, General Si Chen, who was still angry with Yang Kai, suddenly became spirited. He stretched out his head and gave it a peck before swallowing it into his stomach with a satisfied look.
The woman stroked General Si Chen’s head and gently stroked his golden feathers, “Great General’s favorite food is this Jade Fire Silkworm. If there is a chance in the future, remember to bring it back.”
“Where can we find them?” Yang Kai asked.
“Although it’s difficult to find one in the fruit garden, there’s still one. Oh, I forgot, you’re new here so you don’t know anything about this place.”
“I was just about to ask,” It was rare for such a person to come to his door, so Yang Kai naturally wanted to ask her something. This woman should be different from the two he had asked yesterday. She seemed to be quite enthusiastic, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to remind him about this Great General Si Chen, “If Young Lady has nothing else to say, please come inside.”
“Do you want to go in and talk?” The woman looked at Yang Kai with a faint smile on her face.
Yang Kai said seriously, “I’m new here and don’t know anything, so I would like to ask you to explain.”
“Alright, I’m bored anyway,” The woman nodded and lowered her head to look at the golden chicken, “Great General can go about his own business, I’ll talk to him.”
General Si Chen let out a few “oh” before the woman covered her mouth and giggled, “Sure, I’ll tell him.”
Turning her head to look at Yang Kai, she said, “The Great General said that since you offended him today, you should be severely punished by the Venerable to serve as a warning to others. However, since you’re new here and don’t know about the Great General’s noble status, since the Great General is benevolent and magnanimous, he won’t lower himself to your level, there is no need for a big punishment, only a small punishment…”
Looking at General Si Chen again, she giggle for a moment before continuing, “Capture five Jade Fire Silkworm within a month!”
Yang Kai thought it was something, but when he heard it was to catch three Jade Fire Silkworm, he couldn’t help laughing, but he still cupped his fists and said seriously, “Many thanks for Great General’s kindness. En, five Jade Fire Silkworm, I’ll definitely catch them for you.”
