How could Yang Kai not have heard of these words before? It could be said that they were extremely familiar. Since his debut, Yang Kai had encountered many similar situations, so he understood the meaning of these words better than many others.
“It was also this Queen’s mistake that allowed your scheme to succeed. Now, there are many people outside who believe that the Golden Crow’s corpse is in this Queen’s hands,” Madam Lan looked up, “Since that’s the case, this Queen doesn’t mind confirming these people’s guesses. This trouble will be handled by me, what do you think?”
Yang Kai asked, “Does Madam want me to hand over the Golden Crow’s corpse?”
Madam Lan said, “If you don’t give it to me for free, I will give you enough compensation!”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before asking, “Can I hear the compensation plan?”
Madam Lan smiled and raised a finger, “The first type, I’ll give you the Open Heaven Pill, this number!” Saying so, she waved her finger in front of Yang Kai’s eyes.
“Ten million?” Yang Kai was moved.
Madam Lan nodded!
Yang Kai said, “Madam’s actions are quite generous!” Ten million Open Heaven Pills was really a lot, a great temptation for any Emperor Realm master.
“Since there is a first type, there must be a second type. What is the second type?”
Madam Lan glanced at him and said, “The second type is the Yin-Yang + Five Elements, The First Inn will give you a Fifth Grade material to help you achieve the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage!”
This was yet another big benefit! If the Yin-Yang + Five Elements' Fifth Order Materials was converted into the Open Heaven Pill, it would be worth about 7.5 million, but considering the rarity and difficulty of such a material, its value was roughly equivalent to ten million Open Heaven Pills.
Moreover, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage wasn’t considered weak in the Outer Universe. It was a Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage. Back then, Duan Hai was only a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage, while Yang Kai had never seen the Heavenly Monarch who is also a Fifth Order, Old Man Xu was also a Fifth Order. In other words, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was more than enough to establish a foothold in the Outer Universe.
Madam Lan’s sincerity was genuine, but the more she acted like this, the more Yang Kai felt how precious the Golden Crow’s corpse was. If not for this, why would Madam Lan have to pay such a great price?
The value of the Golden Crow’s corpse would definitely far exceed the compensation offered by Madam Lan!
“Is there a third?” Yang Kai asked.
Madam Lan snapped, “Are you not satisfied with these two things? Little brat, don’t be too greedy.”
Yang Kai raised his hand and said, “I was just asking, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” He quickly poured her a cup of tea to prevent her from acting up again.
Madam Lan coldly snorted, picked up her teacup, and took a sip before glancing over, “You should be content with what you have. There are so many new people like you who have been through countless trials and tribulations in these three thousand worlds, but after a hundred or a thousand years, they achieved nothing. You’ve only just entered the Outer Universe yet you’re already so lucky. I wonder how many people will envy you.”
These words reminded Yang Kai of Die You and Old Fang. The two of them had been in the Outer Universe for many years, but unfortunately, they had been trapped in the Seven Skillful Land and hadn’t even broken through to the Open Heaven Stage. In comparison, Yang Kai’s situation was indeed much better, but then again, the only reason he had a chance to make a choice now was because he had risked his life. It had nothing to do with luck.
Yang Kai also took a sip of water and after a moment of silence, he said, “Proprietress, I’m quite tempted by your two conditions, but I don’t know how to decide.”
Madam Lan said, “I’ll give you some advice, will you listen?”
“Please speak!”
“If I were you, I would choose the second option. Although the Open Heaven Pill is real, you’re only an Emperor Realm, so it’s not safe for you to take so many Open Heaven Pills. Moreover, you don’t have any way to buy those materials, so you might as well let me find you some Fifth Grade Material and enjoy them!”
“That makes sense,” Yang Kai crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
The Proprietress observed Yang Kai’s expression and let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Yang Kai’s expression, she knew that this matter was very promising. If Yang Kai didn’t even want to talk about it, then there really would be no hope. Right now, he was probably aware of how hot the Golden Crow’s corpse was.
The Golden Crow’s corpse was indeed a hot potato to most people, but to a force like the First Inn, it was a treasure that could only be found by chance. As long as they could obtain the Golden Crow’s corpse, what was a small price to pay?
Yang Kai was deep in thought, but Madam Lan didn’t disturb him.
Unexpectedly, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Kai still didn’t respond, leaving Madam Lan speechless, “Have you thought about it?”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled into a frown, a conflicted look on his face. Hearing this urging, he turned his head and asked, “Proprietress, I am quite satisfied with these two conditions, but can you compensate for the loss of my two Gold Plume Feathers?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned Mie Meng's Golden Plume Feather, but now that he mentioned it to the Proprietress, she became angry. When Yang Kai had summoned Mie Meng's Golden Plume Feather, she had accidentally been injured. It was simply a disgrace!
“You want my First Inn to compensate you? What kind of dream are you having?” Madam Lan snapped.
Yang Kai said, “Of course I want it. In order to snatch this Golden Crow’s corpse, I used two of my Golden Plume Feathers. Although I don’t know what value this thing has, I don’t think it’s cheap. If I were to sell it, there would definitely be a lot of people fighting over it. Perhaps I could sell it for ten million Open Heaven Pills. The two Mie Meng's Golden Plume Feather is already worth so much, so the First Inn's conditions can only barely make me recoup my losses.”
Hearing this, Madam Lan sneered and wanted to ridicule him, but after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that this Mie Meng's Golden Plume Feather was extremely powerful and could even injure her, so it could be said to be a life-saving talisman. This kind of thing could indeed be sold for a lot of money, so it wasn’t impossible for it to be sold for ten million if it was sold to a rich master.
Changing the subject, she asked, “Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, where did you get your Mie Meng's Golden Plume Feather from?” If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have failed so easily.
Yang Kai grinned, “I also have a question to ask Proprietress, how about we exchange questions?”
Madam Lan looked him up and down, “What do you want to know?”
Yang Kai lowered his voice and asked suspiciously, “What is the use of that Golden Crow’s corpse? Why are so many people fighting over it?”
Madam Lan asked, “Why are you asking this?”
“I’m curious,” Yang Kai looked at her eagerly.
Madam Lan pondered for a moment before saying, “Since there are so many people fighting over it, it’s naturally worth fighting over it. Golden Crows are difficult to find, and in all of the three thousand worlds, there aren’t many Golden Crows. This kind of ancient beast is born from the same source as the sun and can be said to be an extremely mysterious existence. The flesh and blood of Golden Crows can be used to refine pills, the bones can be used to refine artifacts, and most importantly, the Golden Crow True Fire contained within its body. If one can condense it, they will be able to form the Fire Element power, and its power will be immense!” The main point was that this information was not a secret. Yang Kai could easily obtain it from anyone, so there was no need for her to hide anything.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “It’s the black flames from the Golden Crow Divine Palace!” He had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the Golden Crow True Fire. Even a Low Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivator would be injured by it and die upon contact.
“That’s right!” Madam Lan nodded before sneering, “Boy, I advise you not to have such thoughts. The Golden Crow True Fire is extremely terrifying. If you don’t have enough powerful Wood Element energy to suppress it, absorbing any of it will be enough to incinerate you!”
Yang Kai wore a look of understanding, “Of course I know.”
“Tell me, where did your Mie Meng Golden Plume Feather come from?”
Yang Kai grinned, “Of course it was Mie Meng who gave it to me. Not long ago, I helped one Mie Meng a great deal, so it was grateful to me and gave me three Golden Plume Feathers before leaving!” [Hoogsway: Mie Meng could also be refered to as Golden Hen/Chicken, a species.]
Madam Lan wore a look of disbelief, but she couldn’t be bothered to probe any further, impatiently asking, “After saying so much, what are your thoughts?”
Yang Kai said, “Don’t rush me, if you do, I’ll be anxious, and I won’t know what to do. How about this, Proprietress, you go back first, I’ll think about it carefully, and if I’ve thought it through, I’ll give you an answer!”
Saying so, he stood up, walked to the door and opened it, as if he was sending off a guest.
Madam Lan was stunned by Yang Kai’s attitude, but as a woman, it wasn’t appropriate for her to insist on staying here. Gritting her teeth, she got up and when she passed by Yang Kai, a long leg flew out from her dress, kicked Yang Kai’s leg, and left.
Yang Kai grimaced in pain as he held his leg and jumped around for a long time, silently cursing this crazy woman’s actions.
After a long time, Yang Kai closed the door, opened the restriction, and sat down cross-legged on the bed. In a flash, he entered the Mysterious Boundary Bead.
Inside the Mysterious Small World, everything was quiet. Walking alone to a plain, Yang Kai took out the Six Directions Wisful Bag, stretched out his hand, and released the Golden Crow’s corpse.
Since obtaining this Golden Crow’s corpse, Yang Kai had not carefully observed it, but after hearing the Proprietress mention its uses today, Yang Kai couldn’t help having some thoughts.
He hadn’t expected that the Golden Crow True Fire contained within the Golden Crow’s corpse could actually condense the power of the Fire Element!
This was truly a case of trying to plant a flower but failing to blossom, unintentionally planting a willow tree into its shade. The original intention of going to the Sun Star was to find Sun's True Gold above the Seventh Grade, but things didn’t go as he had hoped. He had seen Sun's True Gold, but he hadn’t had a chance to obtain it. The Golden Crow’s corpse he had obtained by chance had given him another way out.
Although Madam Lan had warned him not to have any ideas about the Golden Crow True Fire and that without a powerful Wood Element force, it was impossible to suppress this kind of Evil Fire, this was not a problem for Yang Kai!
Yang Kai didn’t know what grade the Wood Element Force condensed from the Eternal Tree’s essence was, but in this world, there were few who could surpass it, perhaps even none.
The Wood Element energy in his body was enough to suppress the Golden Crow True Fire.
However, just to be safe, it was best to test it out first, which was why Yang Kai had come to the Mysterious Small World. Otherwise, with so many masters in the First Inn, how could he take such a risk?
This was his original plan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Golden Crow’s corpse was released, Yang Kai suddenly felt the entire Mysterious Small World tremble and the World Laws become chaotic. This small world actually showed signs of exploding.
Yang Kai was the master of the Mysterious Small World, the ruler of this small world, so his perception of this world’s changes was particularly sharp.
This feeling was as if a large stone had been forcefully stuffed into a cup of water and it was about to shatter.
