Chapter 192

You haven't reached Qi Refining into Gang yet. If you become a member of the Qunying Society, the organization will soon arrange for experts to lead you to obtain resources and arrange tasks with rich contribution points for you, ensuring that you can reach Qi Refining into Gang in at most three months."

Xu Yang felt a bit tempted listening.

He had naturally heard of this organization, the Qunying Society, for such a long time. Its strength was very strong, and its members were all carefully selected geniuses. It also had inner sect background, and even the Poxiao Society didn't dare to provoke it.

Of course, the Qunying Society was not as noble as Shi Yong said, just for the sake of uniting members to make progress together. Any organization established was to serve the superiors.

Even the sect cultivating disciples had to be beasts of burden in the outer sect for three years. The high-level members of the Qunying Society were not saints, so how could they cultivate others selflessly?

Under normal circumstances, the Poxiao Society indeed didn't collect membership fees and exploit members.

But if others discovered ruins or treasure lands and invited you to develop them together, it wouldn't be free.

To put it bluntly, this organization was just thugs raised by some inner sect experts. They gave some benefits to raise them, and when they encountered ruins or unknown treasure lands that needed manpower to explore, they would let you go to charge and fight.

It sounded more advanced than the Poxiao Society, but in essence, it was the same. Saying there was no coercion, if a distant ruin or unknown treasure land really appeared, who wouldn't be tempted?

Well, Xu Yang wouldn't be tempted. He wouldn't do any risky things.

So if he joined the Qunying Society, there would be a situation where he only took benefits without paying, and the result would be angering the organization's high-level members.

Xu Yang deliberated and said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi, for your appreciation, but I currently have no thoughts of joining any organization. It's not that the Qunying Society is bad, but I don't have thoughts in this regard. I can guarantee to Senior Brother Shi that if one day in the future I want to join an organization, I will definitely choose the Qunying Society."

Having already offended the Poxiao Society, he couldn't offend the Qunying Society again, but he didn't want to be a knife for others, so he could only decline tactfully.

This was the disadvantage of showing his sharp edge. If he wasn't targeted, it was fine, but once he was targeted, it was basically the kind of person he couldn't afford to provoke.

Shi Yong's face first showed surprise, as if he didn't expect anyone to refuse the invitation of the Qunying Society. You have to know that the Qunying Society was not something anyone was qualified to enter. In most cases, it was others begging to join.

He wasn't angry either and smiled: "Good. If Junior Brother Xu thinks it through one day, you can come to find me at any time."

The Qunying Society was not the low-class stuff like the Poxiao Society, so in Shi Yong's view, Xu Yang's refusal was not the Qunying Society's loss, but Xu Yang's.

The Qunying Society didn't necessarily need Xu Yang. The reason he came to find him was just because of organization regulations.

Xu Yang stood up and cupped his fists, saying: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi, for your understanding. I'll take my leave."

The bearing of the Qunying Society was indeed not comparable to the Poxiao Society.

He was truly tempted. If it weren't for the panel, the Qunying Society would definitely be his first choice. Ruins, treasure lands, these were things martial artists would break their heads to go to, but he didn't need to take risks.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Xu for becoming a member of the Qunying Society!"

Just as he stepped into the courtyard, Sun Tao stepped forward with a full face of smiles to congratulate him. He already knew that Shi Yong of the Qunying Society had come to find Xu Yang and thought that Xu Yang had inevitably joined the Qunying Society.

On the side, Jiang Ping, Wan Hai, and others cast envious glances. Joining the Qunying Society meant that in the future, not to mention walking sideways in the outer sect, basically no one would dare to find trouble.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Senior Brother Sun, I didn't join the Qunying Society."

The smile on Sun Tao's face froze instantly, showing a look of heartache: "Junior Brother Xu, you are confused."

Before, he thought Xu Yang didn't join because he looked down on the Chuying Society and the Ruifeng Hall. He didn't expect Xu Yang to refuse even a top outer sect organization like the Qunying Society.

"Not knowing what's good for..."

Jiang Ping subconsciously wanted to mock a few words, but suddenly reacted that the current Xu Yang was not someone he could provoke, so he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Wan Hai, Xu Cheng, and others were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there would be someone who would refuse the invitation of the Qunying Society, with an expression of "you have a problem with your brain."

"Senior Brother Sun, everyone has their own aspirations!" Xu Yang didn't explain too much.

The Qunying Society was good, but it didn't suit him.

"Brother Xu has a good spirit!" Jiang Fan praised.

Without a certain spirit, it was impossible to refuse the invitation of the Qunying Society.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Brother Jiang, you flatter me. I'm just timid."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "If you were timid, it would be even more impossible to refuse."

Xu Yang looked at Jiang Fan seriously. Apart from some problems with women, this person saw things very thoroughly.

The next day!

【Refuse the Qunying Society, points +5】

【Martial Path Longevity Points: 62】

Refusing the Qunying Society really gave point rewards.

Adding one point to his lifespan as usual and one point to the Diamond Body Technique, he got up to cultivate.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Yang went out early and returned late, refining profound iron at Lihuo Peak. In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed, and the profound iron refining task ended.

Originally, this task only lasted one month, but because manpower was always insufficient, it took forty days to finish.

As the last piece of profound iron was refined, Xu Yang and Chen Chao and the others put down their hammers and went to find Gao Lin to settle the contribution points.

"It's a pity I can't keep doing it!"

Xu Yang still felt a bit unfinished. Continuously operating True Qi to hammer, the progress of the Diamond Body Technique was much faster.

In the future, without this job, the Diamond Body Technique would slow down again.

"Chen Chao, earned twenty-six contribution points!"

"Xu Yang, earned fourteen contribution points!"

As Gao Lin calculated one by one and reported the contribution points earned by each, Chen Chao and the others couldn't help but be shocked.

Ordinary Qi Gathering martial artists who came to do this task couldn't even persist. Xu Yang not only persisted, but the contribution points were not much less than theirs.

You have to know that this group of people were all disciples from the previous batch and were all at the Marrow Cleansing cultivation base.

"You are not bad!"

Gao Lin looked up at Xu Yang. This calculation also surprised him. Xu Yang actually obtained fourteen contribution points.

Xu Yang cupped his fists: "I have to thank Senior Brother Gao for taking care of me; otherwise, how would this Junior Brother have this ability."

Gao Lin shook his head: "This is all your own ability. I just added icing on the cake. Work hard, I'll wait for you in the inner sect. If you reach the promotion conditions in the future, you can choose my Lihuo Peak."

Xu Yang showed a look of joy: "Thank you, Senior Brother Gao!"

Chen Chao and the others were really shocked this time.

Generally, outer sect disciples who want to be promoted to the inner sect, besides reaching harsh conditions, the main thing is that someone has to accept you. Sometimes because this peak doesn't want you and that peak dislikes you, you can't be promoted even if you reach the conditions.

Gao Lin's words solved this problem for Xu Yang at once.

And among the four peaks of the Profound Heaven Sect, the strength of Lihuo Peak was second only to the main peak, Tianquan Peak, and the treatment was second only to the Medicine King Peak, and its popularity was comparable to the main peak.

Gao Lin nodded, soon wrote a note for everyone, and said: "Take the note to the Task Hall to hand in the task."

Everyone stepped forward one by one, took their task notes, said goodbye to Gao Lin, walked down Lihuo Peak, and arrived at the Task Hall.

Everyone wanted to hand in the task and leave. For a time, the scene was a bit chaotic.

Xiao Hua appeared with a booklet. Looking at the messy scene, he immediately scolded: "What kind of system is this? Everyone line up for me before stepping forward one by one."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stood in a line.

Soon, it was Xu Yang's turn to step forward and hand in his note.

Xu Yang!

Xiao Hua saw this name and felt it was a bit familiar. He looked up and long-lost memories emerged, feeling a bit surprised: "Are you that disciple of Lin Cheng?"

Xu Yang cupped his fists: "Greetings, Deacon Xiao."

Looking at the task note, Xu Yang had obtained fourteen contribution points. Xiao Hua's face sank: "Audacious, you actually dare to tamper with the task calculation note?"

A mere Qi Gathering martial artist, even if he could persist, it was absolutely impossible to obtain so many contribution points. The only explanation was that he needed to tamper with the task note.

He had also done the profound iron refining task. For a Qi Gathering martial artist, at most, he could get

"Deacon Xiao, why do you say that?" Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged.

Xiao Hua sneered, "Do you think I don't know the difficulty of refining black iron? With your cultivation base, at most you'd get seven or eight contribution points. Fourteen contribution points—why didn't you just change it to one hundred and forty?"

"You had better tell the truth, and you might be dealt with leniently. Otherwise, once the Mission Hall investigates, it will be too late for you to explain."

Xu Yang's tone was calm, "I did not tamper with it. These are the contribution points I deserve. The fellow disciples around here can all bear witness. If Deacon Xiao has any doubts, you can go to Fire Peak and verify it with Senior Brother Gao Lin."

"That's right, we can bear witness. Junior Brother Xu did not tamper with the mission slip."

"Xu Yang receiving fourteen contribution points was announced publicly by Senior Brother Gao Lin."

……

Chen Chao and the others spoke up one after another to testify for Xu Yang.

Now, Xiao Hua was in a bit of an awkward position. If Xu Yang hadn't tampered with it, didn't that mean he had been falsely accusing someone?

But how could a Qi Gathering martial artist possibly obtain so many contribution points? Could it be that Xu Yang had latched onto the coattails of Gao Lin from Fire Peak?

"Fine, I will settle the contribution points for you first. I will personally go to Fire Peak to verify this matter. If I discover that you have engaged in tampering, wait to have your cultivation base crippled and be expelled from the sect."

Xiao Hua picked up Xu Yang's identity waist token, quickly made the record, and immediately gave him fourteen small spheres.

These were the contribution points, crafted from a special material and engraved with patterns that only internal personnel could distinguish as genuine or fake, becoming the contribution points used by outer sect disciples to settle missions.

"Please feel free, Deacon Xiao. I did not tamper with anything, so I am not afraid of an investigation."

This old dog is still being stubborn.
