"As expected of a protagonist," thought Yu Tian as he stared at Yang Kai, who was being brutally beaten but showed no signs of surrender. "His willpower is extremely strong, where any ordinary person would have already given up."
Although Yang Kai's unyielding will was impressive, what he was doing was mere foolishness, as it was impossible for him to win against his opponent, not to mention that he was severely injured. This would cost him money for treatment and delay his training. There was nothing beneficial in his stubbornness; it was undoubtedly harming him.
"By the way, who are you?" Yu Tian asked the girl who resembled a ninja beside him, who was staring intently at Yang Kai and didn't seem to notice his presence.
"Ah!!..." Upon hearing Yu Tian's voice, the girl was startled and let out a soft sound, losing her balance and almost falling off the tree.
With a swift movement, Yu Tian reached out his hand, grabbed the girl's waist firmly, and pulled her towards him to prevent her from falling to the ground, which accidentally caused her to end up sitting on his lap.
"Have I acquired the aura of a harem protagonist?" Yu Tian wondered in confusion as he stared at the girl who was sitting on his lap in astonishment. "Are you okay?"
"A...h...t..." The girl could only stammer as this was the first time she had been so close to someone that her body was pressed against theirs. "I'm fine!!"
Although she was stunned and embarrassed, she quickly composed herself, moved away from Yu Tian swiftly, and her face turned red like a tomato.
"I see, good to hear that," Yu Tian nodded slightly as he stared at the beautiful girl with black hair and yellow eyes. "By the way, are you a Dark Hall Disciple?"
Although Yu Tian had been secluded in his residence for the past few days, the 5th Elder had sent him all the information he needed to know as an Elder, which Yu Tian read entirely and learned a lot about the High Heaven Pavilion.
"This disciple, Xia Ning Chang, greets Elder Yu," Xia Ning Chang greeted Yu Tian respectfully, having regained control over her embarrassment upon seeing him.
"There's no need for that, as Dark Hall Disciples don't need to show this respect to Elders," Yu Tian waved his hand slightly, as although the Dark Hall was part of the High Heaven Pavilion, its disciples were independent of the rest of the sect. "By the way, are you an Alchemist?"
Although Yu Tian knew that Xia Ning Chang possessed the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body, the scent of medicinal herbs lingering on her body clearly indicated that she was training in Alchemy by conventional means.
"That's correct," Xia Ning Chang nodded earnestly, despite being puzzled by Yu Tian's knowledge, as she stared at him curiously. "How did Elder Yu know that I am an Alchemist?"
"That's easy," Yu Tian said as he stood up on the tree root, as Yang Kai's fight had ended. "I'm also an Alchemist, so I can easily smell the scent of herbs and ingredients on you, as well as the distinctive scent of pills that only appears when you've finished making them."
"And also, don't call me Elder Yu," Yu Tian said as he jumped off the tree towards the unconscious Yang Kai. "We're about the same age, so you can call me Brother Yu or whatever you feel comfortable with, and I'll call you Junior Sister."
"..." Xia Ning Chang said nothing and stared at Yu Tian, who enveloped Yang Kai using his Yuan Qi and lifted him into the air before she lightly jumped to his side. She had to admit that she was intrigued by Yu Tian, especially after learning that he was an Alchemist.
"Junior Sister, do you know where this person lives?" Yu Tian asked, pointing to Yang Kai, as he intended to obtain the Demon Mystic Tome.
Although the Demon Mystic Tome didn't hold much value for him, it didn't mean it wouldn't be beneficial for people like the Xi Sisters and his other women, as the Demon Mystic Tome contained powerful techniques that allowed Yang Kai to rule this world entirely.
"That's correct, allow me to take you there, Brother Yu," Xia Ning Chang said, enduring her embarrassment as she intended to receive guidance from him in Alchemy, as he seemed to have a deep understanding of it.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for destroying Yang Kai's opportunity to receive help from Xia Ning Chang and ruining their chance to get to know each other, resulting in Yang Kai's Fortune Value decreasing by 10,000 Fortune Value.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 250,000 SP.]
The two walked towards Yang Kai's house while talking about Alchemy. Despite Xia Ning Chang's embarrassment, she revealed that she possessed the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body and asked Yu Tian for advice on Alchemy and some tricks to improve her control over the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body.
Yu Tian wasn't stingy and shared his experience in Alchemy with Xia Ning Chang, as he was an 8th grade Alchemist, which was extremely high, especially since there were no 8th grade Alchemists in the entire Blue Pole Star.
"We've arrived, Brother Yu," Xia Ning Chang said upon reaching a dilapidated wooden hut. "This is the residence of Disciple Yang Kai."
"I see, thank you for guiding me," Yu Tian nodded slightly towards Xia Ning Chang as he walked towards the hut to allow Yang Kai to rest and obtain the Demon Mystic Tome.
"Then I shall take my leave now, Brother Yu," Xia Ning Chang said respectfully as she disappeared, eager to try the tricks Yu Tian taught her to improve her pills.
"Okay," Yu Tian nodded and didn't stop Xia Ning Chang from leaving, as his interest was now in obtaining the Demon Mystic Tome.
"...," Upon entering the wooden hut, Yu Tian saw the empty space, which contained only a small table, a simple bed, and a black square pillow.
"I found it," Yu Tian muttered as he picked up the Demon Mystic Tome from the bed before carelessly placing Yang Kai on it and taking out three pill bottles from his Storage, placing them on the table. "I have no enmity with you, and this is compensation for the Demon Mystic Tome."
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for destroying Yang Kai's opportunity to obtain the Demon Mystic Tome and preventing him from inheriting the Great Demon God's legacy, resulting in Yang Kai's Fortune Value decreasing by 50,000 Fortune Value.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 1,250,000 SP.]
"...," Yu Tian stared at the system notification in astonishment, as he hadn't expected to gain so many points just from obtaining the simple book in his hands.
