Chapter 230

In the evening, Xu Yang woke up from bed, his whole person glowing with health.

Today's gains were too great: a Gang Qi martial art, a thousand taels of silver, and a pill recipe.

He only needed to wait another two months to learn the Blood-Coagulating Pill, and his life would be able to improve.

Carrying the Wolf-Tooth Blade on his back, he planned to use it to practice the Blazing Sun Gang Blade; as for the better one he had captured, he couldn't use it for the time being, just in case the two people he killed had some background, which would be troublesome.

Pushing open the door, Sun Tao happened to be walking out of his room as well.

"Is Junior Brother Xu going to the dining hall? Let's go together." Sun Tao said.

Xu Yang nodded, and the two hurried to the dining hall together.

On the way, Sun Tao told him some things, and only then did he know that not only were they intercepted and killed while participating in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion auction today.

Several other people were also intercepted and killed; besides Chen Jiang and Yue Gui, another outer sect disciple also died on the road.

"Fortunately, Junior Brother, your mission is almost over." Sun Tao said.

Xu Yang's three-month deadline was almost up, and at that time he could return to the Profound Heaven Sect, and other disciples would go to guard the Hundred Medicine Hall.

"When going down the mountain, take more detours, don't walk the main road."

After eating, when the two parted ways, Sun Tao warned him.

Xu Yang nodded and agreed; he really had to be careful recently.

Liu Qian and Qin Ze had returned alive, and whether they held a grudge against him or were grateful to him was currently unknown.

Although both were injured, the Spirit Monkey Fist Hall still had senior brothers from the previous batch, and Liu Qian also had Liu Xiao, the third-ranked from the previous batch, behind her; if they held a grudge, they might intercept and kill him halfway to take revenge.

His Gang Qi had not yet reached Minor Success, so he was definitely not the opponent of the previous batch's disciples.

Most of the previous batch's disciples who could survive until now had Gang Qi at Minor Success, and the powerful ones already had Gang Qi at Major Success; he couldn't think he was invincible just because he had killed a few people.

Spending an extra quarter of an hour, Xu Yang successfully arrived at the Hundred Medicine Hall.

"I heard that Chen Jiang and Yue Gui are both dead, yet you are completely unharmed?"

Seeing Xu Yang unscathed, Lu Ren couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

"You also encountered an interception, and you were injured?"

Seeing that Lu Ren's complexion was not quite right, Xu Yang immediately understood that Lu Ren and the others had likely had the same encounter.

This auction at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, it was hard to say whether it was for selling things or attracting a group of fat sheep to show themselves; the outer sect disciples he knew seemed to have been intercepted and killed after leaving the venue.

Lu Ren revealed an arrogant look: "We encountered a strong enemy, killed one of them, and each of us shared over a hundred taels of silver."

"Impressive."

Xu Yang gave a thumbs up and then walked away quickly.

Lu Ren was a bit confused; why did it feel like Xu Yang's gains were bigger than his own?

"Qiang!"

Xu Yang walked to the area he was responsible for, Gang Qi erupted, and the Wolf-Tooth Blade popped out of the scabbard and was grabbed in his hand.

In his mind, the essence of the Blazing Sun Gang Blade emerged one by one.

The blade technique emphasized speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, as fast as the wind, as fierce as thunder, with the eyes reaching the hand, and the heart reaching the blade.

Because its moves were simple, mostly splitting, hacking, slashing, lifting, and wiping, the blade technique was very easy to enter.

Of course, at the Gang Qi Realm, there was no such thing as "easy"; the application of the blade technique was not just simply dancing the blade, but also involved the application of Gang Qi and the coordination of mental methods and formulas.

Hacking the enemy didn't count for anything; one had to be able to injure the enemy.

What Xu Yang learned first was not the moves, but the method of running Gang Qi and the technique of infusing Gang Qi into the blade body; these two points were the most important.

Once these two points were practiced well, the moves would be much simpler to practice, and then he could consider the unity of person and blade, and blade intent.

Gradually it became dark, at the Profound Heaven Sect, at the foot of the mountain.

"He must have escaped from somewhere else!" Kong Yu's face was livid.

Receiving the news that Xu Yang had returned to the mountain gate, he came to intercept and kill him, but he hadn't expected that it was already dark and Xu Yang still hadn't appeared.

Beside him, Li Xu said: "This person is cautious, it is said that he lives in the city and changes to different inns every day.

Many people died today, he must have been frightened and didn't dare to walk the main road."

Kong Yu sneered: "Let's go, he can hide from the first day, but he can't hide from the fifteenth."

Saying this, he turned and walked toward the Profound Heaven Sect.

【Obtained Blood-Coagulating Pill recipe, points +5】

【Obtained Blazing Sun Blade Technique, points +5】

【Slew Yue Gui, points +3】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 72】

Once the hour of the Rat passed, the panel flickered to settle the accounts.

Slaying the two people who intercepted him didn't yield a point reward, but slaying Yue Gui, whom he had actively killed, did yield a point reward.

This meant that if he hadn't killed Yue Gui, Yue Gui would have caused him trouble, so he hadn't killed the wrong person.

Glancing at the panel, he swallowed an Eight Treasures Body-Strengthening Pill and continued to ponder the Blazing Sun Gang Blade.

In the following time, Xu Yang did not return to the Profound Heaven Sect; every day when his guard duty ended, he would randomly find an inn to stay in and practice.

One Eight Treasures Body-Strengthening Pill every three days; when he finished eating, he would go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to buy more, and the silver disappeared like flowing water; just this alone cost four hundred and fifty taels a month, plus accommodation, and eating exotic beast meat every meal, six hundred taels a month wasn't enough.

Fortunately, with the previous gains, he could hold on for another month, and then he could make money by refining Blood-Coagulating Pills.

The cultivation speed of the Blazing Sun Gang Blade was very gratifying; for the cultivation of martial arts, comprehension was particularly important; it wasn't like the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture and the Diamond Gang Skill, which were water-grinding efforts that were as slow as a snail without the assistance of pills; if the comprehension was sufficient, the progress would be very rapid.

【Blazing Sun Gang Blade · Minor Success (503/1000)】

The Blazing Sun Gang Blade finally reached the first realm, Qi Gathering into Blade, initially condensing the blade glow.

With Gang Qi infused, the blade edge extended half an inch of blade glow; with a light stroke on a stone, the stone was easily cut open like tofu, and the power was very terrifying.

With the breakthrough in the blade technique realm, his aura became much sharper, especially when his pair of eyes looked at people, it was as if they were about to transform into two blade edges.

On this day, when his guard duty ended, he originally wanted to leave directly, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper of the Hundred Medicine Hall along with Lu Ren and the others.

"The three-month deadline has expired, you all don't need to come tomorrow." The shopkeeper with a big belly said with a smile.

Only then did Xu Yang realize that without knowing it, he had been guarding the Hundred Medicine Hall for three months.

Because of the collection of medicinal herbs here, the sect was worried that the guarding disciples and the shopkeeper would collude to make fake accounts, so they were changed every three months.

But in fact, it wasn't of much use; for example, Lu Ren and the others were specially arranged to come here.

If it weren't for this, the last time the spiritual herbs were snatched, it wouldn't have been something that could be solved by sending some money.

"This is your mission settlement slip!" The shopkeeper handed the settlement slip he had already prepared to the few of them.

Except for Xu Yang, Lu Ren and the others were not very happy, because they had all been deducted a month's contribution points, and the most miserable one, Jin Lei, had worked for three months in vain.

Of course, they still had gray income, but it was silver, not the contribution points that were the most hard currency in the Profound Heaven Sect.
