Chapter 251
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang swallowed the Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill into his stomach, and at the same time, the Bear Stance was activated.
"Boom!"
A scorching Gang Qi erupted, like a monstrous flood sweeping through his limbs and bones; for a moment, he actually felt a sense of swelling.
"The effect is indeed better than the Origin-Returning Pill," Xu Yang thought.
Compared to the Origin-Returning Pill, the conversion of the Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill was more direct and more surging.
Gang Qi increased rapidly; not long after, Xu Yang felt that his Gang Qi had increased to the limit.
Minor Success in Gang Qi, he had reached the final step.

Next, it was to condense Gang Qi, turn Gang Qi into light, and step into the Minor Success realm of Gang Qi.
Sinking his consciousness into his body, Xu Yang moved his mind, and the mental method of turning Gang Qi into light was activated; all the Gang Qi seemed to be pulled by an invisible large hand, condensing inward.
At the same time, the Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill was still emitting surging Gang Qi, constantly impacting the Gang Qi he already possessed.
Xu Yang only felt his Qi and blood boiling, his tendons and bones trembling, as if two invisible existences were fighting in his body.
He endured these discomforts, constantly urging the Bear Stance, attempting to condense the first wisp of Gang Light.
His skin was already bright red, his robe was supported by invisible force, but he tightly closed his pores, not letting a single bit of Gang Qi leak out.
"Boom!"
He didn't know how much time had passed, but a wisp of light appeared in Xu Yang's mind.
In an instant, the swelling that was about to burst him weakened, and then, the light seemed to be contagious, spreading rapidly in his mind.
Minor Success in Gang Qi, Gang Qi turning into light, it was done!
A more pure, more overbearing power appeared.
Xu Yang felt an indescribable comfort; his whole person seemed to be slowly floating up, as if he were growing taller rapidly, as if a small world were expanding rapidly, and his vision became wider.
This feeling was very magical, just like a seedling breaking through the soil and seeing the vast world.
"Gang Qi is the power formed by the unity of essence, Qi, and spirit. Gang Qi improves, and this also brings my spirit along with it."
The Gang Qi that turned into light was like fine rain nourishing the parched earth; wherever it passed, flesh, tendons, and bones roared, and power and strength increased rapidly.
Xu Yang could feel a vitality contained in the brand-new Gang Qi, constantly nourishing his physical body.
It was like a long drought meeting sweet rain; his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
Until all the Gang Qi had finished condensing and the medicinal power of the Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill was exhausted, Xu Yang opened his eyes.

【Remaining Lifespan: 76】
"Minor Success in Gang Qi, lifespan increased by two years."
Coming to the Ziyang Sect for nearly eight months, his cultivation base had increased from Qi Gathering to Minor Success in Gang Qi.
The longest time spent in this was the stage from Gang Qi to Minor Success in Gang Qi, which took half a year.
In this time period, only half of the people on the Ten Elites List had reached Minor Success in Gang Qi.
Inside his body, the Gang Qi that turned into light was still slowly nourishing his physical body, baptizing his tendons, bones, flesh, and blood.
"Is this Gang Light?"
Xu Yang stretched out a finger, and a touch of light lit up, emitting a heart-palpitating aura, brilliant like a gemstone, just like what Lin Cheng had shown him before.
"So Master's cultivation base should be at the Minor Success realm of Gang Qi, or perhaps Major Success, but not yet Marrow Cleansing."
However, his Gang Qi was different from Lin Cheng's; Lin Cheng's Gang Qi was blood-red like a diamond.
His Gang Qi only had a faint red light, already approaching silver-white, just waiting for the Diamond Body Technique to reach Minor Success, and he could refine silver Gang Qi.
"Can be used as a light bulb."
The previous Gang Qi, although visible to the naked eye, was really just Qi and wouldn't emit light.
But now...
Xu Yang gently activated the Bear Stance, only to see his whole body emitting a faint light, illuminating the room.
Of course, Gang Qi turning into light wasn't just about glowing; whether it was attack or defense, there would be a huge improvement.
The ability to nourish the physical body and temper the physique would also change accordingly.
"A whole day has actually passed."
Withdrawing his Gang Qi, he pushed the door and walked out, only to see that it was already evening, and most of the people who went out to do tasks had returned.
Only to see in the courtyard, Jiang Fan and a burly man who was unimaginably sturdy were talking; it was the inner sect disciple he had seen once beside Sun Jian.
"Senior Brother Xu Yang has come out of seclusion?" Jiang Fan took the initiative to say.
After the initial decadence, Jiang Fan became as enthusiastic as before.
Xu Yang heard Jiang Ping and Sun Tao say that after Jiang Fan woke up, the Marquis's mansion sent people to send resources, and Jiang Fan reached Minor Success in Gang Qi within a short time.
Xu Yang cupped his hands: "Senior Brother Jiang Fan, greetings, Senior Brother."
Jiang Yan nodded and smiled: "I didn't expect you to live in the same courtyard as Fan. How is it, have you learned your Blood-Coagulating Pill?"
Xu Yang shook his head: "Senior Brother, don't laugh at me. Before, I didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, but now I have given up."
"Senior Brother Xu Yang, do you know my big brother Jiang Yan?" Jiang Fan asked curiously.
Xu Yang then knew that this person was named Jiang Yan, and had the same surname as Jiang Fan; he should also be from the Jiang clan of the Marquis's mansion.
He shook his head: "I have seen Senior Brother Jiang Yan once before."
Not disturbing Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan, he soon walked out of the courtyard.
After eating in the dining hall, he returned to continue consolidating his cultivation; for three consecutive days, his cultivation was finally stabilized.
"Time is almost up, it's time to go down the mountain."
The one-month time agreed with Zhu Bin was almost up, and the ten days given by the Fire Peak only had four days left.
Although he didn't know what the so-called selection was specifically for, there should be benefits. Only after the matter of the Blood-Coagulating Pill was resolved would he have the heart to do other things.
Seeing the Wolf-Tooth Blade on his back, Xu Yang went out and found Sun Tao: "Senior Brother, I have something to go down the mountain for a few days."
Sun Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I won't tell outsiders. By the way, yesterday Junior Sister Lin Wei reached Qi Refining and Gang Qi formation."
Reaching Qi Refining and Gang Qi formation after so long, to be honest, even if it was because Lin Wei was delayed by indulging in men and women, this talent was a bit poor.
According to this progress, whether she could reach Major Success in Gang Qi was another matter; marrying a capable man was the wisest thing, it was just that her eyes hadn't been wiped clean.
"Congratulate Senior Sister Lin Wei for me."
Xu Yang didn't say anything more; he had said all he should say. As for the outcome, it depended on Lin Wei's fate.
He soon left the Ziyang Sect, changed into the hidden clothes and bamboo hat in a hidden place, and turned into a pale red light, rushing straight to Qingyang City.
"So fast!"
With the cultivation of Minor Success in Gang Qi plus the Minor Success realm of Stepping on Gang and Chasing the Wind, the speed was so fast that even Xu Yang was a bit surprised; one leap was over a dozen zhang away, and the things he saw in front of him quickly retreated behind him.
He galloped to his heart's content, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he saw the Qingyang City standing on the earth; only then did he withdraw Stepping on Gang and Chasing the Wind and walked into Qingyang City.
First, he observed around the rented courtyard to make sure no one was monitoring, and only then did he open the door and walk in.
There was some dust in the courtyard; he looked at the things he had set up last time at the doors, windows, etc., determined that no one had been there, changed into a new set of clothes, and started to go to the pharmacy to buy the medicinal herbs for refining Blood-Coagulating Pills separately.
It started smoothly, nothing happened, but when he reached the last few medicinal herbs, not long after he walked out of the pharmacy, he felt someone following him.
Although there were many people on the street, he was now at Minor Success in Gang Qi, and his five senses were further improved; he was sure it wasn't an illusion.
Judging from the sound of footsteps and breathing, this person had been following behind him since he walked out of the pharmacy, followed him through several streets, and his gaze had been fixed on him.
Xu Yang didn't look back, continued to walk forward, and when passing an alley, he suddenly turned in.
The Su family's spy only hesitated for a moment before chasing into the alley.
The alley in front was empty; where was Xu Yang's figure?
"Not good!"
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind rang in his ears; he hurriedly looked up, only to see a black shadow pouncing from the roof, carrying a terrifying Gang wind.
Before the figure arrived, the strong Gang wind had already made his face ache.
Without any hesitation, he activated his life's true Qi and struck a palm toward the top of his head; the palm power formed by true Qi emitted a roar.
Major Success in Qi Gathering cultivation!
This kind of cultivation was considered an expert for ordinary people, but in front of a master like Xu Yang who was at Minor Success in Gang Qi, it was no different from a child.
His five fingers were like steel claws, domineeringly shattering the palm power; before this person could react, his five fingers had already locked onto this person's throat like iron pliers.
"Tell me, who sent you, otherwise die!"
Xu Yang's voice was cold, and the strong pressure pressed toward the person in front of him like a tide; he was sure he hadn't seen this person before.
The Su family spy's retreating movement froze instantly, not daring to move a fraction.
If he dared to have any unusual movement, the master in front of him could kill him instantly.
