Chapter 307

With Xu Yang's status at this very moment, he didn't even need to do it himself. If he just said a word in the outer sect, there would be plenty of disciples and deacons willing to kill her for Xu Yang, letting her die quietly.

Wang Jianxing's face also changed drastically.

He hadn't expected that even after going this far, Xu Yang still wouldn't let it go. He was terrifyingly protective of his own, even openly threatening to kill a fellow disciple, all because his sister had been bullied.

The Li Huo Peak disciples watching the show immediately understood that Xu Qing could not be provoked.

If you provoked Xu Yang, he would still drink with you and turn hostility into friendship, but if you provoked his sister Xu Qing, even if you knelt down and kowtowed, Xu Yang would still fight you to the death.

"Brother Xu, this matter has nothing to do with me. After I found out about this, I brought her here to apologize to you," Wang Jianxing hurriedly drew a line again.

Xu Yang said coldly: "Take her and get lost. Whether the matter has anything to do with you is not for you to say. I will find out clearly. If you truly were not involved, I naturally will not implicate the innocent."

"If you were involved as well, wash your neck clean."

"Brother Xu, feel free to investigate; I have a clear conscience."

Wang Jianxing bowed, then grabbed Zhang Juan, who was like a pile of mud, and left.

"This girl!"

Xu Qing was so sensible it was heartbreaking. Because she was worried about causing him trouble, she didn't even tell him when she was bullied.

Xu Yang immediately closed the courtyard door and went down Li Huo Peak.

"Junior Sister Xu, your foundation is very solid. You will surely become an alchemist in the future. After recognizing herbs for a while longer, you can start to refine some simple Qi-Blood Powder."

Xu Qing listened to the senior sister who taught her to recognize herbs and hurriedly bowed: "It is thanks to Senior Sister's good teaching."

She had been reading "Introduction to Alchemy" for almost a year and a half, and the whole book could be said to be memorized by heart; all she lacked was practice.

Combined with the knowledge in her mind, learning to identify medicinal herbs was very easy to pick up.

"Don't be glib; I'm telling the truth. Alright, it's about time, go down the mountain. Come find me again tomorrow."

After Xu Qing bowed, she left.

"I will definitely become an alchemist!"

Her big brother Xu Yang's greatest wish was for her to become an alchemist, so she wouldn't have to do things involving fighting and killing, so she would definitely become an alchemist.

"Stinky Xu Yang, you've been back for days, why haven't you come to see me?"

Soon, from the fact that her senior sister confirmed she would become an alchemist, she thought of Xu Yang, and thinking that Xu Yang hadn't come to see her for days after returning to the Purple Sun Sect, she immediately felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, she saw a tall, slender figure standing like a mountain at the foot of Medicine King Peak, a gentle, spring-breeze-like smile on his handsome face, his eyes looking at her softly.

Who else could it be but Xu Yang!

"Brother?"

Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised. Gang Qi exploded under her feet, and she floated down from Medicine King Peak like a light swallow, pouncing on him.

Xu Yang let her hang on him, and after a while, he said: "Alright, if someone sees you, they will laugh at you for being like a child."

Xu Qing then reluctantly came down and said excitedly: "Brother, I have good news to tell you. I've started learning alchemy. Senior Sister said my foundation is very solid and I will definitely become an alchemist in the future."

Xu Yang was happy. He sent Xu Qing to Medicine King Peak precisely so she could learn alchemy and not have to be a brute who only knew how to risk her life.

"That's amazing. My Xu family is going to produce a noble alchemist."

Often, fathers know that when a child achieves something, they must give affirmation and praise.

Hearing this, Xu Qing beamed, feeling that all the grievances she had suffered at Medicine King Peak were worth it.

"Didn't they refuse to let you learn several times before? Why did they suddenly allow you to learn?" Xu Yang asked curiously.

Xu Qing excitedly raised her snow-white, slender neck and said: "It's because you suddenly revealed your cultivation. Senior Brother Sun Jian told Elder Changchun about our relationship, and he agreed to let me learn alchemy."

Sun Jian, huh?

Xu Yang secretly noted this favor. It turned out it was because of his own affairs that Xu Qing had obtained the opportunity to learn alchemy.

He hadn't expected that Elder Changchun, who had rejected him back then, also understood human relationships.

Noting both of their favors, Xu Yang said: "Remember, alchemy is just an auxiliary means; your cultivation must not fall behind."

Xu Qing nodded: "Don't worry, my cultivation has been progressing. Within half a year, I am confident I will reach the minor success stage of Gang Qi."

Reaching the minor success stage of Gang Qi within half a year—this speed could be considered fast in the outer sect.

Most outer sect disciples basically needed two years before their cultivation could break through to the minor success stage of Gang Qi.

Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction and took out the pills he had brought to give to Xu Qing.

"Why so many?"

Xu Qing opened the medicine bottle and was startled to see five Origin-Returning Pills inside, hurriedly trying to give them back to Xu Yang.

She knew Xu Yang also needed to cultivate, and giving her too many pills would delay his progress.

"Accept them. With my current cultivation, the effect of pills like Origin-Returning Pills is already very small, and I still have quite a few," Xu Yang said with a smile.

These were all gifts he had received over the past few days. There were still many Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills in the courtyard, as well as the main ingredients for refining two furnaces of Origin-Gathering Pills, so he gave Xu Qing a bit more.

Once the task rewards came down and he exchanged for the Marrow Cleansing pill formula, he probably wouldn't use low-level pills like Origin-Returning Pills anymore.

Xu Qing then smiled and accepted the pills.

"I know about Zhang Juan," Xu Yang said suddenly.

Xu Qing lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu Yang.

"Raise your head!" Xu Yang said softly.

Xu Qing raised her head, her eyes slightly red. In front of Xu Yang, she would always be a weak child. Once the fact that she had been bullied was known, the tears of grievance couldn't be controlled.

Xu Yang said: "Brother taught you to endure and to be low-key, not so you wouldn't tell me when you were bullied, and not because I was afraid of you causing me trouble.

To Brother, the biggest trouble is you being unhappy and being bullied.

I sent you to Medicine King Peak, not to be bullied. Compared to learning a craft, I hope you are happy."

He knew that Xu Qing was worried about being kicked out of Medicine King Peak and not being able to learn alchemy, which was why she endured Zhang Juan.

"In the future, if you encounter such people again, don't endure it. Even if you have to leave Medicine King Peak, so what? And don't be afraid of causing me trouble. If someone bullies you, if you can beat them, slap them back directly. If you can't beat them, endure it and come find Brother; Brother will stand up for you."

"Brother, you are so good."

The tears in Xu Qing's eyes receded.

"By the way, did that person named Wang Jianxing participate in bullying you?" Xu Yang asked about the main issue.

Xu Qing shook her head: "No, I haven't even seen this person; I've only heard others mention him."

Xu Yang nodded, understanding that it was probably just Zhang Juan acting like a fox assuming the tiger's might.

He planned to find Sun Ke after a while to say hello and then get Zhang Juan kicked out of the sect and eliminated.

"Don't worry about this matter; I will solve Zhang Juan. Come, let Brother see how your martial arts cultivation is going."

"Okay!"

The siblings came to the peach forest. Xu Yang pointed out all of Xu Qing's martial arts, finding that they had basically reached the major success stage.

"For the next contribution points, don't exchange for pills; accumulate them to exchange for martial arts. I will provide you with cultivation resources."

Xu Qing would reach the minor success stage of Gang Qi before long, and the Fine Rain Startling Wind Sword and Wind-Breaking Fist were already not enough; she needed to practice more powerful martial arts.

He didn't have anything suitable for Xu Qing on hand, so he could only let Xu Qing go to the Merit Hall to exchange for them.

After setting Xu Qing's next cultivation plan and giving her some money to buy medicinal herbs for learning alchemy, he and Xu Qing came to the outer sect disciple living area, intending to call Qiu Wenjie, Tian Li, and Sun Tao for a meal.

"It's Xu Yang, he's come to the outer sect!"

"He is the genius who came out of my Qingyuan County; he has hopes of ascending the dragon a second time."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!"

Just stepping in here immediately caused a sensation. Many people stepped forward to salute, and some even poured out of the courtyards on both sides.

In fact, everyone had seen Xu Yang, but at this moment, it was as if they were seeing him for the first time, all looking at him with envious and worshipful eyes.

Xu Yang clasped his fists and responded to everyone who greeted him, whether he knew them or not, making them feel flattered.

Qin Ze and Liu Qian stood in the crowd, feeling a wave of bitterness in their hearts. The former allies were now people they could only look up to.

Liu Qian turned her head away in shame, not wanting Xu Yang to see the scar on her face.

"How miserable!"

Unfortunately, Xu Yang still saw it. He saw that Qin Ze had lost an arm, and Liu Qian was disfigured, a hideous scar on her delicate face looking like a large centipede, which was somewhat creepy.

He felt a wave of comfort in his heart; he just liked seeing these people have bad luck.

"Junior Brother Xu, you are really impressive now."

Sun Tao ran out of the courtyard when he heard the commotion, and seeing all the outer sect disciples watching Xu Yang, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Behind him, Qian Tong and Ma Yong, who had come out, were terrified and pale when they saw it was Xu Yang, not daring to look him in the eye.
