Chapter 220

Li Xu nodded: "It is said that the Liu San beaten to death by him is indeed in the Gang Qi cultivation base, but the time does not match. Xu Yang has only broken through not long ago, and Junior Brother Ji Jincheng and Han Xing were killed more than two months ago. At that time, Xu Yang was still in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Junior Brother, you must be calm. I am not helping Xu Yang to excuse, but I don't want to miss the real murderer."

Qi Gathering killing Gang Qi—even in a place like the Profound Heaven Sect where many geniuses gather, he had never heard of it.

"I know!"

Kong Yu nodded and said: "But he must die. What Senior Brother Ji Jincheng wanted most before he died was to kill him and avenge Senior Brother Zhu Yang. I will definitely help him complete this wish.

Keep an eye on his whereabouts for me. If he returns to the Profound Heaven Sect, tell me. It is time to end this grudge."

Li Xu frowned deeply and said: "Junior Brother Kong, Xu Yang has already refined Qi into Gang Qi."

He reminded that if he couldn't kill Xu Yang, intercepting and killing a fellow disciple is a capital crime.

Even if Kong Yu is a genius with A-minus innate talent and obtained the appreciation of the Inner Sect senior brother of the Elite Gathering Society, if the matter is exposed, he will not die but will be severely punished.

Kong Yu turned his palm over and said confidently: "Senior Brother doesn't need to worry. In the same realm, if I want to kill him, it is as easy as turning over a hand."

Xu Yang found an inn at random and stayed in it. Closing the room door, he took out an Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill and swallowed it.

The Diamond Body Technique operated, and a faint silver color emerged. The Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill turned into a hot current and swept away. Xu Yang immediately felt as if he were in a furnace, and every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be burning.

The Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill can increase Qi and blood and temper the body.

Combined with the Diamond Body Technique, the effect is better.

Xu Yang's skin gradually turned crimson, covering up the faint silver color. Gang Qi surged, and his tendons, bones, and flesh were all trembling.

An hour later, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and steaming mist rose from his body, like a steamer in this cold winter.

Xu Yang finished his work, and the crimson on his body slowly faded.

"Does this Diamond Body Technique want to refine Jin Gang Qi?" Xu Yang pondered.

He had refined Gang Qi for nearly two months, but he found that his Gang Qi had been changing. At first, his Gang Qi was pink.

But after two months of cultivation, the color of his Gang Qi became lighter and lighter, closer and closer to white.

So he speculated that the highest realm of the Diamond Body Technique should be to refine Jin Gang Qi.

"It's troublesome without a master to teach."

If there were a master to teach, he wouldn't know nothing, but the Profound Heaven Sect only has a master to teach after joining the four peaks and becoming an Inner Sect disciple. Some martial arts common sense is not taught by anyone.

He also didn't know how precious the martial arts that can refine Gang Qi into gold are, and he hadn't inquired about the information about the Diamond Body Technique until now.

"I can only try to show less Gang Qi to others in the future to avoid causing trouble."

In the blink of an eye, it was seven days later. Xu Yang brought all his belongings to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

The main entrance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had been closed, and a door was opened on the side. Several guards of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion guarded the door, and people entered one after another.

Xu Yang stepped forward, and the little servant who was familiar with him, named Zhou Yong, arched his hands and said: "Master Xu, please follow me."

Xu Yang arched his hands and said: "Trouble!"

Zhou Yong was a bit flattered and said: "Master Xu is polite. This is what the small one should do."

In front was a passage more than two meters wide and more than three meters long, lit with oil lamps.

Xu Yang followed Zhou Yong through the passage, and after turning a corner, a vast hall appeared in front of him.

The hall was full of chairs, and people were already seated in many places.

Immediately after, many eyes were cast on him.

Xu Yang scanned, and found that there were many acquaintances. Even if he didn't know many people, he had seen them in the Profound Heaven Sect.

Except for these familiar faces whose names he couldn't call, he saw Lu Ren, Shi Yong, Ma Jun, and Xiao Chen.

Some people didn't care when they saw it was him, and some showed confusion.

"Xu Yang, he can also come to the auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. What can he afford?"

Chen Jiang sat in the crowd and showed a look of surprise.

"If you can't afford it, you can also increase your knowledge."

The disciple of the Heming Fist Gym beside him said.

"Master Xu, this is your seat. You sit down first, the small one still has to greet guests."

Zhou Yong led Xu Yang to a chair and pointed out his position before leaving.

Xu Yang looked, and it was a coincidence. The person sitting next to him was Yue Gui, and further over was Liu Qian.

The other side was also an acquaintance, which was Gu Haoming and Lu Ren.

Liu Qian and Yue Gui both showed unnatural expressions on their faces, and then nodded gently.

Xu Yang didn't intend to tear his face, and also nodded in response.

Gu Haoming was expressionless, while Lu Ren nodded with a smile.

The two garrisoned the Hundred Herbs Hall together for more than two months. Although the relationship was not harmonious, it was not as tit-for-tat as before, and they would greet each other when they met.

In fact, as long as Lu Ren didn't step on him, he wouldn't target Lu Ren under normal circumstances.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man walked to the high platform in the center of the hall, and the noise of the four seats disappeared instantly.

The middle-aged man arched his hands and said: "First of all, thank you all for coming to participate in this auction of my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I am Tao Huaijin, the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, responsible for this auction matter.

No nonsense, everyone knows the rules of the auction, so I won't repeat them. Please bring up the first auction item today."

With Tao Huaijin's words falling, a little servant of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion placed a tray in front of him.

Tao Huaijin reached out and lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing a ginseng as thick as a child's arm.

This ginseng was blood-red all over, crystal clear, and everywhere was a kind of texture that looked like blood threads.

Tao Huaijin laughed: "This is a fifty-year-old blood ginseng. As everyone knows, fifty-year-old blood ginseng is one of the main materials for refining the Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill.

Start the auction now. The base price is three hundred taels, and each increase must not be less than ten taels."

The Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill is one of the pills for the Marrow Cleansing Realm, which can enhance and purify Gang Qi. Ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money.

"Worthy of being the auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the first auction item is blood ginseng."

"Fifty-year-old blood ginseng, even if it is not refined into pills, swallowing it directly can improve the cultivation base of many Gang Qi experts."

There were exclamations all around, but no one bid.

This kind of thing is best played by the alchemist. If you really buy it to eat directly, it is purely a stick.

"Three hundred taels!"

A crisp voice sounded. It was a woman sitting in the front row. Xu Yang looked over and could only see a back.

"Three hundred and fifty taels. Junior Sister Ye wants to pick up a fifty-year-old blood ginseng for three hundred taels, which is a bit unrealistic."

A laugh sounded, the voice was a bit familiar, and Xu Yang remembered that this person was the Inner Sect disciple Sun Jian who came that night.

Listening to the meaning in Sun Jian's words, the first woman who bid seemed to be an Inner Sect disciple.

"Three hundred and sixty taels. Senior Brother Sun Jian, the price you bid is not very high either."

Another voice sounded, with a smile.

Then the three of them kept bidding against each other, and finally this fifty-year-old blood ginseng was auctioned by Sun Jian for four hundred and fifty taels.

"Inner Sect disciples are really arrogant. Fifty-year-old blood ginseng, the usual price is about four hundred taels. In order to fight for a breath, they spent fifty taels more."

For the next few auction items, most of them were medicinal materials, which Xu Yang was not interested in, and Lu Ren and others beside him had never bid.

"Next is a bottle of Origin-Returning Pills, a total of five, with a base price of five hundred taels, and each increase must not be less than ten taels."

The Origin-Returning Pill is also one of the pills for the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and one can resist a month of bitter cultivation for a Gang Qi expert.

If it is someone with good innate talent and good absorption of medicinal effects, it can even resist a month and a half.

Xu Yang's spirit was greatly lifted, and finally something usable appeared.

But soon he found that Lu Ren, Yue Gui, and others beside him were also like chicken blood, eager to move.

Others were also like this. I am afraid that most people participated in this auction, and the purpose was this bottle of Origin-Returning Pills.

"Five hundred taels!"

"Five hundred and fifty taels!"

"Six hundred taels!"

Xu Yang hadn't had time to bid, and the price of this bottle of Origin-Returning Pills was called to six hundred and fifty taels, and was soon called to seven hundred taels.

"There are really many rich people!" He couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Haoming, Yue Gui, and these rich young masters in Qingyuan County didn't seem to have the qualification to bid, and the premium was too high.

Normal Origin-Returning Pills are actually one hundred taels each, but now the price of one has reached one hundred and forty, and someone is still bidding.

For many people, this premium doesn't count for anything, mainly because many times they can't buy pills that improve Gang Qi even if they have money.

"How about joining forces? You and I split it equally."
