Chapter 254

Thinking of last night's scene, Hu Fengyi felt a bit of feeling again, wishing he could turn around immediately and return to Qingyang City to fight another three hundred rounds.

But he had to go to the Fire Peak tomorrow, so he couldn't go back.

"Earth Vein Spirit Fire can condense Gang Qi and temper the physique; after I come back from there, I should be able to reach Minor Success in Gang Qi... hmm?"

Just thinking about the selection for the Fire Peak, he suddenly sensed something wrong beside him; under the induction of his five senses, it was as if a fierce beast was staring at him.

"Not good!"

Hu Fengyi instantly reacted that it wasn't some fierce beast, but an expert watching him with a gaze emitting killing intent.

His Gang Qi had reached the limit, only one step away from transformation to reach Minor Success in Gang Qi; his five senses were very keen, and he could capture the gaze of a close-range stare, and his reaction was also very fast, instantly supporting his protective Gang Qi, moving his body horizontally rapidly, and at the same time turning his body to strike a punch.

But Xu Yang was ready to go, like a fierce tiger crouching and hunting; when Hu Fengyi's figure appeared in his line of sight, he had already moved.

He stepped on the Gang Qi emitting light, like a bolt of thunder instantly disappearing from where he was, approaching Hu Fengyi in an instant.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the place where he had been crouching exploded, soil splattering.

Xu Yang seemed to have anticipated Hu Fengyi's counterattack long ago, tilting his head slightly to avoid Hu Fengyi's punch; the fist erupted with Gang Qi, brushing past his temple.

At the same time, his fist thrust out like a great spear, emitting a faint red light, slamming into Hu Fengyi's protective Gang Qi.

"Crack!"

The sound of an eggshell breaking rang out; Hu Fengyi's protective Gang Qi shattered and exploded instantly, and the iron-cast fist slammed heavily into the fragile area under Hu Fengyi's armpit.

"Crack!"

Another crisp cracking sound, Hu Fengyi's ribs collapsed upon impact, and the terrifying Gang Qi drove straight in; his internal organs were instantly blasted into meat paste, piercing through from the other side.

"Ah!"

Hu Fengyi's eyes bulged, letting out a heart-wrenching scream; his body was actually punched through directly, with two fist-sized bloody holes appearing on the left and right, and he could see the shattered internal organs.

Under inertia, his body was thrown up, carrying blood flowers.

In mid-air, he tried his best to turn his head to see clearly who killed him, but what he saw was a man covering his face, unable to recognize his identity at all.

"Bang!"

His body hit the ground, splashing smoke and dust, sliding for several meters before stopping.

Xu Yang walked up slowly; Hu Fengyi only had one breath left.

A pair of eyes widened, his face full of fear and pain, his body twitching unconsciously, scarlet blood flowing out from the two bloody holes on the left and right, staining a piece of ground red.

"Really weak."

Although it was a sneak attack, Hu Fengyi being punched through his body directly was still somewhat beyond his expectations; the attack power of Gang Light was far beyond his imagination.

"Who are you?" Hu Fengyi still wanted to know who killed him before he died.

Lifting his foot and stomping down, with a crack, Hu Fengyi's neck was stepped on and broken directly, dying on the spot.

"The first one!"

Squatting down, he soon looted a few silver notes and a dozen contribution points, and Xu Yang carried the corpse and rushed into the mountain forest.

A quarter of an hour later, he returned to the place where he had hidden the pills before, changed into the clothes of a Profound Heaven Sect outer disciple, and rushed toward the Profound Heaven Sect at a leisurely pace.

The next day, facing the morning sun, Xu Yang ascended the Fire Peak and found that besides the people Gao Lin had named that day, another batch of people he hadn't seen before had also arrived.

"These people should be internally designated, no need to participate in the so-called selection."

He counted, and there were ten people in this group; some he had seen, some he hadn't, and their auras were all very strong; two of them were very famous, one was the sixth-ranked of the Ten Elites, Fang Yu, and the other was the seventh-ranked, Wen Hao.

Two geniuses of the Ten Elites had come; Xu Yang couldn't help but be curious about this so-called selection.

"Why hasn't Hu Fengyi come yet?"

The agreed time was almost up, and Hu Fengyi hadn't appeared yet; Yun Feng couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that this guy was having fun in the brothel and forgot about today's matter?

"I'm afraid something happened!"

Thinking of this, Yun Feng's heart sank.

No matter how much Hu Fengyi liked that, he couldn't delay serious business; the only explanation was that something had happened.

Xu Yang chatted with Chen Chao one sentence after another, and soon saw Gao Lin appear.

"One person is missing, who didn't come?"

Gao Lin's gaze swept over, seeing that of the eighteen people scheduled, only seventeen had come, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face.

Yun Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Reporting to Senior Brother Gao, it's Hu Fengyi who didn't come!"

"If he doesn't come, don't come in the future either; follow me."

Gao Lin snorted coldly, not caring about the situation of Hu Fengyi who didn't come, and immediately led everyone toward the bottom of the Fire Peak.

After descending the Fire Peak, Gao Lin led everyone all the way to the south.

At first there was a small path to walk, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, it was all cliffs and precipices, and they had to use lightness skills to move forward.

Everyone followed Gao Lin flying, climbing mountains and crossing ridges; about half an hour later, a desolate valley came into view.

There wasn't a single plant around the valley, like a Gobi, constantly emitting heat waves.

In the center of the valley, there were a few houses built of stone, but no one was seen.

They should have arrived; Xu Yang noticed that people like Yun Feng, Wen Hao, and Fang Yu were all excited.

Walking into the valley, he saw a large hole on one side of the valley, and the heat waves were surging from there.

Soon, two men with deep auras, wearing inner sect disciple clothes, walked out from inside.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Gao." The two cupped their hands to Gao Lin.

Gao Lin nodded: "Junior Brother Song, Junior Brother Liu, are the things ready?"

The two nodded: "Already prepared properly."

Gao Lin nodded, turned to look at Xu Yang and the others: "Among you, many know what this place is, but some don't.

This is a treasure land of my Profound Heaven Sect, which has nurtured Earth Vein Spirit Fire.

Earth Vein Spirit Fire is usually used to refine spiritual weapons or purify high-end weapon forging materials; your task for coming here is to stay here for half a month and finish purifying the materials the sect needs."

Earth Vein Spirit Fire!

Xu Yang's heart stirred; he knew this kind of thing; it was said to carry a kind of spirituality, usually used for alchemy or weapon refining, but it also had the ability to temper the physique and condense Gang Qi, which was very special.

If one could cultivate near the Earth Vein Spirit Fire for a long time, it would be twice the result with half the effort; no wonder these people like Yun Feng paid the price to come here to be oxen and horses.

For martial artists who wanted to break through to Minor Success in Gang Qi, this kind of place was a true treasure land.

"This kind of place should be very suitable for cultivating the Diamond Body Technique."

Soon everyone followed Gao Lin into the mountain cave; in an instant, a terrifying heat wave struck, as if they had jumped into a furnace, and everyone activated their Gang Qi to resist.

Xu Yang also activated his cultivation to resist, but he felt it didn't have much effect; an all-pervading heat invaded his limbs and bones through his pores and breathing, burning everywhere, and his Gang Qi and flesh seemed to be about to be ignited.

"Diamond Body Technique."

He stopped the Profound Mountain Bear Scripture and changed to activating the Diamond Body Technique.

In an instant, he felt the Diamond Body Technique seemed to be absorbing this invisible heat, condensing and strengthening at a slow speed.

His flesh, tendons, and bones were like they had been parched for a long time, greedily absorbing the invisible heat.

"The effect is actually better than taking the Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up; it was indeed a treasure land.

Of course, this feeling of being roasted on a furnace wasn't very good; he saw some people whose physique tempering wasn't up to par already showing painful expressions, sweating all over, and supporting their protective Gang Qi.

【Diamond Body Technique · Entry Level (1225/2000)】

Minor Success in the Diamond Body Technique was still far away; he hoped to reach Minor Success in the Diamond Body Technique here.

Following Gao Lin forward again, the heat became more and more terrifying; he could already see jumping flames, and that all-pervading heat became more and more intense.

Finally, after entering a huge stone room, the heat reached its peak; half of the people had supported their protective Gang Qi to isolate the heat waves, their whole bodies bright red.

Gao Lin looked at everyone's reaction: "Earth Vein Spirit Fire can condense Gang Qi and temper the physique, but it also carries fire poison; if your dantian and meridians feel a burning sensation, go out and force the fire poison out before coming back.

Otherwise, if you damage your martial arts foundation, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Find your own position and start."

Gao Lin said, retreating.

This place where everyone fought to come and be oxen and horses didn't seem important to him, and he didn't take the opportunity to cultivate here.

The stone room was very wide, the layout similar to the fire field of the Lianfeng Shop, with eighteen forging tables and a furnace like a high tower standing on the ground, with eighteen small holes opened.

It was the tower furnace used to receive the Earth Vein Spirit Fire; white Earth Vein Spirit Fire rushed out from the small holes, emitting terrifying heat waves.

He didn't know what this thing was forged with, but it was carved with many mysterious patterns, actually able to withstand the calcination of the Earth Vein Spirit Fire, and the outside wasn't burned red either, which was very magical.

However, now no one cared about this; their attention was all on the forging tables.
