Being able to obtain three Spirit Pills so easily, Yang Kai felt like he was in a dream. It should be known that only new people would receive a reward for showing filial respect to the Great General for the first time, but that was only once.
A few days ago, Yang Kai had fed five Jade Fire Silkworms to obtain one Open Heaven Pill.
But today, just three Jade Fire Silkworms had earned him three! This was a year’s salary for a laborer to take care of the fruit garden, so no one would believe him.
Die You said that if the Great General was in a good mood, he would receive the Open Heaven Pill.
In other words, the Great General was in a very good mood right now? Yang Kai raised his head, wanting to take a look, but he couldn’t see anything. However, all of his anger and resentment had disappeared.
If this stupid chicken often gave him some Open HEaven Pills, not to mention lying on his head and using his head as a chicken’s nest, Yang Kai would even welcome him to live in his house.
“Great General, do you want to eat some more?” Yang Kai was in a good mood and his tone became much friendlier.
The Great General didn’t respond, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Yang Kai couldn’t help nodding, “Since that’s the case, let’s go eat more, hehehe…” With a grin, he walked towards another fruit garden.
Just now, General Si Chen had been chased down by a group of people and had fallen into his own territory, causing the group of people to scatter like birds and beasts. Speaking of which, all of them were responsible for what had happened today. If something had really happened to General Si Chen, even if Yang Kai had suffered an undeserved calamity, did they really think they would be able to escape unscathed? If General Si Chen didn’t find trouble with them, Yang Kai would remember them in his heart.
Not long after, they arrived at another fruit garden. When the worker saw Yang Kai and the Great General approaching from afar, they immediately hid, probably afraid that the Great General would find trouble with him.
If he wanted to hide, so be it. Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with him and simply led General Si Chen to a tree to look for insects.
He didn’t search for too many and only caught three before swaggering off. From beginning to end, the owner of the fruit garden didn’t dare show his face.
What surprised Yang Kai the most was that after eating these three Jade Fire Silkworms, the Great General actually rewarded him with three Open Heaven Pills! Even he couldn’t figure out what General Si Chen was up to.
When he had fought with it before, it had looked like it wanted to kill him, but now it was being so generous.
However, there was no reason not to want the benefits he had obtained for free.
As Yang Kai walked through the gardens, some of the owners of these gardens were like the young man surnamed Hong. Although they were unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and accept their fate, allowing Yang Kai to catch insects in their own territory. Some of the owners of these gardens were like people who hid themselves, not daring to show their faces. However, regardless of their attitude, the three Jade Fire Silkworms could not escape, Yang Kai didn’t care if their fruit trees were affected or not.
However, after walking through the four gardens, the Great General seemed to have eaten his fill, crying out slightly as he used his claws to guide Yang Kai.
Yang Kai wasn’t satisfied yet, but since General Si Chen had eaten his fill, he couldn’t force him. In any case, since this matter had already begun, he might as well take it slow.
After bringing General Si Chen back to his own fruit garden, Yang Kai sat down under a fruit tree and took out twelve Open Heaven Pills, carefully playing with them while giggling.
A few days ago, he had obtained one Open Heaven Pill, but before he could warm it up, it had been snatched away by Old Fang. Now, he had obtained twelve of them at once. What kind of stupid chicken was this? He was simply a God of Fortune!
General Si Chen wasn’t bad after all. Yang Kai’s impression of the Great General suddenly changed greatly. Twelve pills a day meant a total of three hundred and sixty pills a month, and in a year it would be more than four thousand…
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Kai knew that this was impossible. Great General Si Chen’s Open Heaven Pill must have been given to him by the Venerable, but he didn’t know how many of them there were.
In any case, his situation was much better than the other laborers. The salary of three Open Heaven Pills a year was nothing to him.
After collecting enough Open Heaven Pills, Yang Kai can pay off the debt he owed to Die You and then invited her to the market to drink a pot of good tea as a token of appreciation! Secretly making up his mind, Yang Kai carefully put away the excess Open Heaven Pills, leaving only one to study their medicinal properties.
He was also an Alchemist and was still trying to obtain the Open HEaven Pill recipe from the Seven Skillful Land. Although he hadn’t seen the pill recipe yet, this didn’t stop him from studying it himself.
After studying it for an entire day, Yang Kai was unable to come up with anything useful. He only knew that refining this Open Heaven Pill required seven main herbs, including Fire Spirit Fruits and other Spirit Fruits, but other than these seven main herbs, there were definitely other supplementary herbs. Since Yang Kai had just entered the Outer Universe world, he didn’t know much about the herbs here, so naturally he couldn’t tell what materials were used in the Open Heaven Pill.
Yang Kai silently noted it down. If he saw these herbs later, he should be able to recognize them.
For more than a day, General Si Chen didn’t move at all, probably because he had eaten his fill and was sleeping. It wasn’t until one day later that he suddenly flapped his wings. Yang Kai couldn’t see him, only the corner of his eyes filled with golden light.
Seeing it wake up, Yang Kai immediately became spirited, “Great General, are you hungry? Shall I bring you to look for food?”
General Si Chen nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go!” Yang Kai stood up and walked forward. Yesterday, there had been a total of thirty or forty people who had chased after General Si Chen, but now they had gone to four gardens. There was still a large pile of gardens they had yet to visit, so they had to finish running.
On this day, after running to five gardens, Yang Kai returned with a dozen more Open Heaven Pills.
Under the fruit tree, Yang Kai was happily playing with the pill while saying, “Great General, i want to discuss something with you. Next time, if there’s a reward, can you give it to me when there’s no one else around? You also saw the looks in those people’s eyes, it’s as if they want nothing more than to rush over and snatch it from me. If this happens a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll become the common enemy of the servants’ house.”
It was unknown whether the Great General was asleep or not, but he didn’t respond.
Yang Kai sighed, feeling both pain and happiness.
“You… where did you get so many Open Heaven Pills?” A voice called out from the side.
Yang Kai quickly put away the Open Heaven Pill and looked up to see Old Fang staring at him.
“What Open Heaven Pill? You’re mistaken,” Yang Kai blinked, “Are you done?”
“I’m done…” Old Fang casually replied before quickly coming to his senses, “Little brat, don’t change the subject. To be honest, where did you get so many… Uh, the Great General is still here?” Suddenly, his expression changed and he took a few steps back as if he wanted to put some distance between himself and Yang Kai, asking suspiciously, “Did you rob the Great General?”
“How is that possible?” Yang Kai sneered, “Do I look like such an unproductive person? Who would rob a chicken?”
“Then tell me, where did you get those Open Heaven Pills?” Old Fang obviously didn’t believe him.
“None of your business!”
Old Fang looked him up and down before turning around and leaving.
“What do you mean by this?” Yang Kai was not happy and quickly stepped in front of him.
Old Fang’s face darkened as he said, “Little brat, I’m afraid you’re about to face a great disaster, yet you’re still acting so smug. Don’t say you know me in the future, otherwise this old master will be implicated by you.”
“Old Fang!” Yang Kai slapped his shoulder, “Aren’t you thinking too much!”
“It’s best if this old master thinks too much. In any case, you’re on your own,” Old Fang waved his hand repeatedly.
“Look at how scared you are,” Yang Kai smiled, “By the way, do you have any extra Hundred Refinements Incense with you?”
“Didn’t Miss Die You just buy two boxes for you?” Old Fang looked at him suspiciously.
“Enough nonsense, do you have it or not?” Yang Kai stretched out his hand. Normally, two boxes of Hundred Refinement Incense would be enough to last him a year or two, but Yang Kai estimated that with his current speed, it wouldn’t be long before he ran out of them, so he decided to take some back from Old Fang.
Old Fang said, “Yes, and this old master can give you a box, but you must agree to one condition.”
“Speak!”
“Don’t come looking for this old master again, this old master will never recognize you.”
“Don’t regret your words in the future!”
Old Fang didn’t say a word as he took out a box of Hundred Refinements Incense and placed it on Yang Kai’s hand before quickly leaving. As he walked, he muttered to himself, “A great disaster is coming… Young man…”
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with him. After obtaining a box of Hundred Refinement Incense for free, he estimated that he had used up enough for this month, so he turned around and continued to rest.
The following days were quite chaotic. Every day, after Yang Kai took care of his fruit tree, he would lead Great General Si Chen through the gardens, catching a few insects wherever he went.
The servants were also angry but didn’t dare to say anything. Yang Kai had General Si Chen on his back, so who would dare to refuse? They could only watch helplessly as Yang Kai lured the insects out and let General Si Chen eat them.
These insects could all become Open Heaven Pills!
Fortunately, Yang Kai didn’t act ruthlessly, so they didn’t complain.
Moreover, after Yang Kai finished speaking that day, Great General really didn’t give him any more Open Heaven Pills in public. Every time he did, he would spit out a golden light after returning to his own territory. Inside this golden light, there were at least a dozen Open Heaven Pills, almost equal to the number of insects he ate.
Yang Kai couldn’t explain why. Die You had said before that General Si Chen would only bestow Open Heaven Pills to those who fed him when he was in a good mood. Most of the time, there were none, but when it came to him, it was basically one for one.
This was an extremely inconceivable matter. If everyone else was like him, the servants wouldn’t have to worry about the Open HEaven Pill. Over the years, they had fed General Si Chen countless Jade Fire Silkworms.
Moreover, no servant had ever been treated like this by General Si Chen. For a whole month, he had treated Yang Kai’s head like a chicken’s nest.
A month later, the Fruit Garden’s restrictions were activated and all the servants were moved outside.
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes fell on Yang Kai. It couldn’t be helped, with a golden chicken on his head, he was simply too eye-catching. Many people found it funny, wondering how Yang Kai had provoked General Si Chen to be treated like this by the Great General.
