Yang Kai furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "What grade is it?"
Truthfully, he had no idea about the grades of the Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid, Spirit Milk, or Spirit Ointment, because until now, no one had ever rated their quality. Hearing Meng Wuya mention it now naturally piqued his interest.
Meng Wuya didn't answer. Instead, he said thoughtfully, "The Eight Great Families are coveting this, aren't they?"
"Pretty much," Yang Kai nodded slightly, his heart filled with suspicion. He noticed that whenever high-end items were involved, Meng Wuya would invariably change the subject and avoid discussing them further. Yang Kai didn't know why.
Since the old man wasn't willing to talk, Yang Kai didn't press the issue.
"I have no use for this. Keep it safe," Meng Wuya said, handing the Myriad Medicine Spirit Ointment back. He glanced at the Earth Demon with a thoughtful expression and chuckled, "Old Demon, you're in luck. With this, maybe you can also break through above the Shenyou Realm in one go."
"Can this thing really help someone overcome the bottleneck above the Shenyou Realm?" Yang Kai was overjoyed to hear this. Last time, Ling Taixu had used the Myriad Medicine Spirit Ointment to achieve his current level in one leap. Yang Kai had thought it was just a coincidence, but now, hearing Meng Wuya say this, he realized just how precious the ointment was.
"This thing contains hidden principles of the Heavenly Dao. It has a powerful effect on breaking through bottlenecks. This old demon already has a foundation. If he still can't break through with this, he might as well just kill himself."
The Earth Demon chuckled and quickly stowed away the small piece of Myriad Medicine Spirit Ointment, treating it like a priceless treasure.
"This must have taken quite some time to form?" Meng Wuya looked at Yang Kai.
"About five or six thousand years," Yang Kai answered honestly.
"That makes sense. The condensation of several thousand years... Good stuff, good stuff. A pity that with my seal, this can't completely unseal it," Meng Wuya sighed.
"Then use this," Yang Kai said, producing some Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid.
Meng Wuya took it and looked closely, unable to help but exclaim, "This is not bad either. Although not as pure as the previous one, it's still a rare treasure. Perfect for healing injuries... Hmm, this stuff seems to also help cleanse the meridians and marrow."
"Manager Meng has a sharp eye," Yang Kai gave a thumbs up.
Meng Wuya snorted lightly, "Does this old man not even have that little bit of discernment? Where did you get it? How much more do you have?"
Yang Kai sniffed and casually named a number.
The three of them were almost flustered. They stared at Yang Kai with wide eyes.
"Give some to my disciple. This stuff might be useless for this old man, but it's of great help to Ningshang." Meng Wuya immediately demanded, not standing on ceremony.
"I gave it to her long ago."
Manager Meng suddenly understood. "No wonder Ningshang's strength has increased so much faster in the past year or so. So that's why. The profound pills taken by the warriors in the mansion also contain this, right?"
"Mm."
Ling Taixu shook his head with a bitter smile. "The Yang family really shot themselves in the foot this time."
If they knew how much Myriad Medicine Spirit Liquid Yang Kai had, they would probably regret neglecting and indirectly coercing him.
If the Yang family had treated Yang Kai well, instead of constantly threatening to cripple his cultivation and labeling him as a heretical practitioner, Yang Kai, with the resources at his disposal, certainly wouldn't have minded sharing some benefits with the clan.
The resources he controlled were so vast that even his friends and family together couldn't use them up in a lifetime. He would have been more than happy to strengthen his family.
But the Yang family's various actions had forcefully pushed such a tremendous ally to their opposite side, forcing Yang Kai to rise up and resist.
Leaving Meng Wuya's room, Yang Kai first went to check on Qiu Meng.
Young Miss Qiu was already out of danger. The stab she had inflicted on herself wasn't too deep. After Su Yan took care of her, she had nearly fully recovered by now.
He told her of his decision to leave. Qiu Meng's expression was merely bitter, but she didn't object. Given the current situation, Yang Kai's departure was the best choice.
"Go and gather everyone. I have something to say," Yang Kai instructed calmly.
Qiu Meng was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he was going to do. She nodded gently and went out to summon everyone.
Although she had left Yang Kai's mansion once yesterday morning and returned at night to lead an attack, in the final moment, everyone understood her difficult position. No one bore grudges against her or Huo Xingchen anymore; in fact, they felt some sympathy.
Being forced to the opposing side—the bitterness in their hearts, who could understand?
Qiu Meng was still the second-in-command of the mansion, a position no one could shake.
