To be able to obtain such an evaluation from the Chief Manager, it was clear that Yang Kai’s ability was extraordinary.
Chen Tian Fei hesitated for a moment before asking, “Does Chief Manager mean…”
“Let’s wait and see!” The Chief Manager turned around and walked towards the place of seclusion, his voice drifting over, “It won’t be too late to deal with him after we leave the Great Ruins Boundary, he’s just an Emperor Realm.”
Chen Tian Fei cupped his fists, “Chief Manager is wise!”
The Yuan Magnetic Mountain was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Scarlet Star’s foundation and had long since exceeded the range of the Scarlet Star’s forces. Yang Kai and Yue He sped along for more than two hours before arriving.
In front of them, there was a mountain range that stretched out for a long time. It wasn’t very tall, and there were many mountains scattered about. Using his Divine Sense, he could sense the auras of many cultivators.
Before he even got close, Yang Kai felt an extremely strange energy lingering around his body. This energy had a metallic feel to it, but it wasn’t complete, making it seem extremely strange. Moreover, this energy was unpredictable, sometimes pushing and sometimes spinning.
Yang Kai raised his brow, “Is this the power of Yuan Magnetic?”
Yue He nodded, “The power of Yuan Magnetic is unpredictable. If we can use the Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone to condense the power of Gold Element, perhaps we can comprehend the Divine Ability of Yuan Magnetic.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, becoming more certain that he had yet to fully develop the power of the Eternal Tree and Golden Crow True Fire, and he began to look forward to this Yuan Magnetic Mountain.
A figure soon appeared in front of them. It was none other than Guo Ziyan.
Obviously, he had received the news and had come to welcome Yang Kai and Yue He.
When he arrived, Guo Ziyan cupped his fists and greeted, “Sixth Manager, Seventh Manager!”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, “How is the situation?”
Guo Ziyan said, “I have some gains, but not much, just some Third Grade Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones.”
“Let me see,” Yang Kai stretched out his hand.
Guo Ziyan didn’t say a word and simply handed a stone the size of a millstone to Yang Kai. Yang Kai looked down and saw that this thing was pitch-black in color. At first glance, it didn’t look special, but upon closer inspection, he could feel the rich Gold Element energy contained within it.
The power of Yuan Magnetic he felt before was becoming more obvious in this stone.
Yang Kai nodded slightly and returned the Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone to him. Looking down, he saw a group of people rushing about below.
Guo Ziyan said in a low voice, “Two Managers, now that the news has spread and many people are rushing here, this humble subordinate has summoned all the nearby people here, but we only have thirty or so people, so the range we can search is quite limited. Do you need to send a message to the other Managers and have them bring some people here to assist?”
Yang Kai glanced at him and said lightly, “There’s no need. Since the news has already spread, if they want to come, they can come. If they don’t want to come, sending a message is useless.”
Guo Ziyan thought to himself, ‘That’s right, many people already know about the Yuan Magnetic Mountain here, so it’s not like the other Managers haven’t heard about it yet, but so far I haven’t seen anyone, so I don’t know if they don’t want to come or if they’re on their way here.’
Not long after flying with Guo Ziyan, they landed on a mountaintop where many people were busy. The thirty or so people under Yang Kai’s command were basically all gathered here, and the mountaintop was already riddled with holes, some deep and some shallow. From time to time, the sound of clanking could be heard from the cave, indicating that they were all trying their best to find the Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone.
Yang Kai turned to look at Guo Ziyan and asked, “How do you distribute the benefits you’ve obtained before?”
Guo Ziyan replied, “All the gains will be gathered together to evaluate their value and then distribute them according to the amount of effort they put in, but generally speaking, the Manager will take more than half!”
Yang Kai nodded slightly.
More than half of it was understandable, but Yang Kai obviously wasn’t prepared to follow suit.
“Pass down my order, all Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones below Fifth Grade can be kept. There is no need to hand them over. This King only wants Fifth Grade and above Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones. If anyone dares to keep them for themselves, kill them without mercy!”
Hearing this, Guo Ziyan’s expression became serious, “Sixth Manager, are you serious?”
Although Yang Kai only wanted Fifth Grade and above Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones, and it sounded like he was trying to rob them, after searching for so long, they had never seen a Fifth Grade Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone, but they had already found a few Third Grades.
In other words, Yang Kai was taking the risk of returning empty-handed. On the other hand, as long as the thirty or so people found any Divine Stones below the Fifth Grade, they could keep it.
From a different perspective, this was extremely beneficial to the thirty or so people present. After all, if Yang Kai followed the methods of the Poison Lady, even if they really found a Fifth Grade Divine Stone, they wouldn’t have a share.
Yang Kai replied, “If I told you to pass down the order, you should have just done so.”
Guo Ziyan quickly cupped his fists and said, “Yes!”
The order was quickly passed down, and the thirty or so people all became excited and searched even harder. Even Guo Ziyan had disappeared into a pit.
Yue He turned to look at Yang Kai and asked, “Why do you want a Fifth Grade materials?”
She was the only one who knew that Yang Kai had condensed a Seventh Grade Open Heaven force, so she was somewhat puzzled.
“If I want it, then take it,” Yang Kai casually replied.
Fifth grade materials were of no use to him, but in the Star Boundary, there would always be a day when a large number of friends and family would come to the Outer Universe. At that time, they would definitely need them. Yang Kai’s starting point was very high, so naturally he wouldn’t be interested in materials that were too low grade. Fifth grade materials were just barely enough to qualify as a threshold for him.
There was no harm in making plans for the future as soon as possible. Moreover, even if he didn’t use it, the value of a fifth grade material was still there.
Turning his head to look at the nearby mountain, Yang Kai saw that there was no one there, so he quickly flew over and released the Earth Dragon.
After communicating with it with his Divine Sense for a while, the Earth Dragon turned around and dove into the ground, quickly creating a large hole.
The Earth Dragon was a strange beast that lived underground, so digging a hole was extremely easy for it. A rumbling sound came from inside the cave and soon disappeared into the distance. Even the solid rock couldn’t resist the corrosive power of the Earth Dragon.
Just this Earth Dragon was equivalent to the efficiency of a hundred people.
Yang Kai didn’t remain idle and ordered Yue He to stand guard while he followed the Earth Dragon into the ground and released his Divine Sense.
Not long after, he obtained a Third Grade Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone.
With the Earth Dragon leading the way, Yang Kai easily traversed a thousand feet underground. No one in the Great Ruins Boundary had ever set foot in this place for thousands of years, so there were many rare treasures here. There were also many Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones in this Yuan Magnetic Mountain, and the deeper he went, the more concentrated they became.
In just an hour, Yang Kai had found five or six Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones, but unfortunately, none of them were of high quality. The highest was only a Third Grade, and there were even First Grade and Second Grade.
He didn’t try to be picky and quickly stored these Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones into his Space Ring. Although these Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones weren’t very useful, they could be sold for some Open Heaven Pills.
Now that he had run out of Open Heaven Pills, Yang Kai felt a bit bad that he made Yue He buy herbs in Star City for him.
As the Earth Dragon continued to explore, Yue He’s voice suddenly rang out, “Come out, something’s happened!”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s brow furrowed and his figure suddenly came to a halt. With a flash of his figure, he activated his Space Laws and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the mountain peak he had been on.
Looking down, Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled slightly as he saw Yue He and Guo Ziyan gathered below him, but at this moment, they were surrounded by another group of people.
The number of people in this group was not small, at least three or four hundred, almost ten times the number of people on their side, and the leaders all had powerful auras, obviously not pushovers.
The two groups confronted each other, the atmosphere tense.
Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning. This situation seemed to have caused some kind of conflict, but he had been following the Earth Dragon to search for Yuan Magnetic Divine Stones in another mountain, so he didn’t know what was happening here.
His figure flickered as he arrived next to Yue He and calmly glanced at the group, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Yue He smiled bitterly and with a flip of her hand, a fist-sized Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone appeared in her palm. Although this Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone still had a pitch-black color, its surface was filled with an ever-changing color. A strange energy lingered around this Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone, no different from the one Yang Kai had felt before.
Yang Kai raised his brow, “What grade?”
He could tell at a glance that this Yuan Magnetic Divine Stone was somewhat different from the Third Grade Divine Stone he had found before. Although this Divine Stone was much smaller, its quality was extremely high.
“Fifth Grade!” Yue He replied, “My subordinates found this thing and shouted out in excitement, leading them here.” As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the thin man beside her.
This Fifth Grade Divine Stone was obviously found by that man. At this moment, the man’s face was filled with guilt as he secretly blamed himself for being too careless. At that time, he had been too excited and unable to control himself. After all, this was the first time he had ever seen a Fifth Grade material.
So it was because they were tempted by fortune!
Yang Kai understood what was happening and reached out to take the Fifth Grade Divine Stone, stuffing it into his Space Ring before patting the thin man’s shoulder and praising, “Good job, I’ll remember your contribution!”
Hearing this, the man was startled and looked up at Yang Kai, a look of excitement appearing on his face. He had thought that the Manager of the family would blame him for his rashness, but who would have thought that not only was he not blamed, he was even praised.
This new Sixth Manager seemed a bit different…
At this moment, someone from the opposite side stepped forward and shouted, “It’s you little bastard!”
As he spoke, he gnashed his teeth, as if there was some kind of hatred between him and Yang Kai.
Yang Kai looked up and found this person somewhat familiar, obviously having seen him somewhere before. After taking a closer look, he couldn’t help grinning, “We meet again.”
This guy was none other than the Bi Jian he had encountered on the Hidden Dragon Mountain a few months ago!
