The mysterious old man’s cultivation was extraordinary, and as long as he wished to know something, there was no way anyone on this continent could hide anything from him.

As such, he had quickly discovered the unusualness of Yang Kai.

That old man focused his Divine Sense towards the cave Yang Kai was in.

Inside the cave, Yang Kai, who was trying to refine a Saint King Grade pill suddenly, went stiff, his eyes shooting open and quickly scanning his surroundings, his expression dignified.

Just now, he had felt like there was an invisible eye spying on his movements, causing him to feel nervous.

However, after careful investigation, Yang Kai couldn’t discover anything wrong, so he shook his head wryly, thinking he was just being overcautious.

Having interrupted his focus, the Saint King Grade pill he had been refining had instantly failed and a burnt smell began leaking from his pill furnace. The medicinal liquids he had worked so hard to purify and blend now could no longer be used.

Yang Kai let out a faint sigh and removed the burnt slag from his pill furnace, recalling his Conflagrated Spiritual Energy and closing his eyes to steady his mind.

Seeing this scene, the mysterious old man, who was nearly ten thousand kilometres away, took back his own Divine Sense and muttered suspiciously, “Are his senses so keen?”

He was confident that given his means, it would have been impossible for this little brat to detect his Divine Sense probing. It was more likely that due to being in a heightened state of vigilance, this boy had vaguely sensed danger and responded accordingly.

Shaking his head, the old man no longer paid any attention to Yang Kai and focused on his own matters instead.

The old man really didn’t care much about a little brat like Yang Kai.

Inside the cave, Yang Kai secluded himself and continued refining pills.

Although Yang Kai didn’t know how much time has passed, he had refined several hundred Saint Grade Mid-Rank and Saint Grade High-Rank pills. Among these pills, there were many that had given birth to Pill Veins.

His Alchemy proficiency had also greatly improved, and he was now even capable of refining Saint King Grade pills.

On a certain day, Yang Kai carefully pulled out some herbs from his Demon Mystic Tome, each one of them Saint King Grade containing vast amounts of energy.

He was going to start refining the Seal Breaking Pill!

Yang Kai was quite familiar with the Seal Breaking Pill’s pill recipe, as it was one of the recipes from Tong Xuan Realm. The grade of Seal Breaking Pill produced would depend entirely on the grade of herbs used.

Today, Yang Kai had chosen Saint King Grade herbs, so naturally the Seal Breaking Pill he would refine would be Saint King Grade as well.

Although he was lacking a few of the specific herbs in the recipe, he had found appropriate substitutes.

Yang Kai was already an excellent Alchemist, so it wasn’t difficult for him to make minor adjustments to a pill recipe.

Calming himself, Yang Kai adjusted his condition to its peak before beginning the refinement.

His movements were smooth and precise as his mood remained steady, not anxious, as if he was refining any ordinary pill.

Because he had full confidence in refining this pill!

He had no doubt he would succeed.

His confidence was not unfounded and two hours later, Yang Kai completed a perfectly round, pale yellow, Seal Breaking Pill filled with energy.

Taking this pill out of his pill furnace, Yang Kai pinched it between his fingers and silently examined it, shaking his head slowly a moment later.

This pill was a genuine Saint King Pill.

However, according to his observations, it should only be Saint King Grade Low-Rank.

He didn’t know if such a pill could break the seal placed on him. If Lu Gui Chen’s strength was also only at this level, there wouldn’t be any suspense, but Yang Kai estimated that Lu Gui Chen was at least a Second-Order Saint King or possible even a Third Order one.

Therefore, he couldn’t be certain.

Frowning in thought for a while, Yang Kai eventually stuffed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Closing his eyes, Yang Kai sat cross-legged and waited for the medicinal energies to take effect.

A short time later, Yang Kai’s face warped with pain. He felt a wave of heat spread from his lower abdomen, like a torrent of lightning that had suddenly exploded outwards in all directions.

His blocked meridians stretched and a tearing pain spread throughout his body.

Yang Kai clenched his teeth and remained still, using his Divine Sense to observe his condition as the medicinal efficacies progressed.

He clearly saw an illusory set of bindings in his body loosen as the effects spread; these shackles contained Lu Gui Chen’s aura and were naturally the seal he had placed on him.

The Seal Breaking Pill’s medicinal energies were like a dragon and Yang Kai’s body was its battlefield, fighting a desperate struggle against these shackles.

The entire process brought him unimaginable pain.

Although the Seal Breaking Pill’s effects were good, it was obviously not enough to smash open the shackles and restore Yang Kai’s freedom. Every time the medicinal energies tried to move forward, they would lose a great deal of strength while the shackles themselves remained intact, sealing Yang Kai’s Saint Qi and meridians.

Half a day later, Yang Kai opened her eyes weakly, a helpless look upon his face.

A Saint King Grade Low-Rank Seal Breaking Pill really wasn’t sufficient.

However, with his current means, this was the highest grade of pill Yang Kai could refine.

It wasn’t a matter of material, nor was it because of his lack of skill, but because of his cultivation.

Yang Kai was only a First Order Saint, being able to successfully refine a pill an entire Great Realm higher than his own cultivation was already an incredible feat, if he wanted to refine higher grade pills, he would need to enhance his cultivation first.

However, Yang Kai wasn’t disheartened but instead filled with hope.

Just because a normal Saint King Grade Low-Rank Seal Breaking Pill wouldn’t work, didn’t mean a Seal Breaking Pill with Pill Veins would be the same.

Once a pill formed Pill Veins, its medicinal effects would at least double in potency.

As long as he could refine a Seal Breaking Pill that formed Pill Veins, Yang Kai was confident he could break this seal.

He didn’t concern himself with his failure just now and instead used a drop of Myriad Drug Liquid to quickly restore himself and start again.

During this time, Shen Tu had collected a lot of herbs, enough for Yang Kai to refine four or five Seal Breaking Pills.

Yang Kai busied himself and after another two hours, he removed a
