Chapter 312

"The quality is even better than the one I took before."

Ten pills refined, each one was a boutique.

The quality of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill given by Elder Huoyun was far worse than the one he refined.

"Refine another furnace!"

Although he hadn't slept for two days, with the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he had taken before constantly nourishing his mind, he didn't feel much fatigue.

After the alchemy furnace cooled down, he began to clean it, intending to refine the Origin-Gathering Pills in one go.

In the evening, Xu Yang returned to the Purple Sun Sect, first finding Xu Qing in the outer sect and throwing all the refined Origin-Gathering Pills to Xu Qing.

Returning to Li Huo Peak, he fell asleep, and the next day, he woke up refreshed.

[Refined a furnace of Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills, points +50]

[Martial Arts Longevity Points: 325]

"Not bad!"

Seeing that he had obtained a reward of fifty points, he couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, he looked elsewhere.

[Bear Sutra Marrow Cleansing Chapter - Minor Success (3101/6000)]

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture - Entry (3184/5000)]

[Immovable Body of the Bright King - Entry (157/4000)]

Xu Yang carefully looked at the three techniques he was practicing, finding that before going to Moon Lake to guard, the only one that could possibly improve was the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture.

He didn't know if Moon Lake was dangerous, but as long as he left the Purple Sun Sect, he would treat it carefully.

The Immovable Body of the Bright King had only been entered for a few days, and it was impossible to have a breakthrough in a short time.

Although the Bear Sutra now had the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill, Marrow Cleansing was a gradual process, and it was impossible to break through so quickly.

Within a month, the only one that could possibly break through was the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture. Even if it was still a bit short then, he could use the panel to help break into the minor success stage.

Once the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture reached the minor success stage, no matter how dangerous Moon Lake was, he would have the confidence to save his life.

"Practice for a few days, then find time to take back the spiritual iron from the mountains."

After setting various plans, Xu Yang's days became regular.

Wake up and practice the Bear Sutra to strengthen tendons and cleanse marrow, return from eating and practice the Golden Gang Technique to condense Gang Qi, then go to the Weapon Forging Pavilion to pretend and practice the Thousand Forging Technique.

Return from eating at noon, practice the Immovable Body of the Bright King, then take time to watch weapon forging books, and practice the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture before sleeping at night.

The whole day was filled by him, and his cultivation was also growing at a visible speed.

Time flew by, and seven days passed quickly. The Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he had taken before was completely exhausted.

"It was said to last half a month, but it only lasted twelve days, and it didn't even reach twelve days."

The alchemist who refined this Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill probably didn't have enough skill, as it was three days short.

"How many days can the medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill I refined last?"

Xu Yang found the jade box containing the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill and immediately took one. The medicinal power turned into a warm current, melting into his limbs and bones.

"The efficacy is indeed better. Whether it's Marrow Cleansing or nourishing the mind, it exceeds the one Elder Huoyun gave me."

Xu Yang closed his eyes and sensed for a while, finding that the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he refined was indeed better than the one Elder Huoyun gave him.

"It's time to take back the spiritual iron from the mountains."

Carrying the Cold Abyss on his back, Xu Yang went down Li Huo Peak, left the Purple Sun Sect, and spent a long time taking a detour.

An hour later, he successfully found the place where the spiritual iron was buried and took out the spiritual iron and the semi-spiritual weapon.

Wrapping the things in a prepared cloth bag, he walked swaggeringly back to the Purple Sun Sect. No one knew that the things he was carrying were part of the spiritual iron that had been snatched by the Blood Lotus Sect from the Purple Sun Sect before.

Days and nights alternated, and the medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he took was exhausted again.

Xu Yang calculated that the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he refined lasted for a full fifteen days, three days more than the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill refined by the Purple Sun Sect alchemist. Four pills were equivalent to five pills refined by the Purple Sun Sect alchemist.

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture - Entry (4564/5000)]

The progress of the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture was also about to reach four thousand six hundred. It wouldn't be long before it could break through to the minor success stage.

Xu Yang closed his eyes. The blood prison in his mind was becoming clearer and clearer, and the blade intent also had a prototype. Just waiting for the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture to reach the minor success stage, he could cultivate blade intent.

Once blade intent was cultivated, even without reaching the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing, he could easily kill ordinary martial artists at the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing.

Taking out the second Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill and taking it, after a few more days, Xu Yang went down the mountain to find Xu Qing and told her that he was going to guard the sect's industries and wouldn't be back for a short time.

Returning to Li Huo Peak, he began to practice wholeheartedly, no longer going to the Weapon Forging Pavilion to pretend, nor studying weapon forging techniques, putting more time into the practice of the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture, intending to bring the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture to the minor success stage when leaving the Purple Sun Sect.

Time passed quietly. With more energy invested and the assistance of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill, the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture had reached the last few steps.

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture - Entry (4992/5000)]

It seemed like just the last few steps, but they were the most difficult ones. The progress might not even improve by one point in a day or two.

Blade intent was also a kind of martial arts imagery. This power belonged exclusively to Heaven Origin experts. Occasionally, some stunning geniuses could comprehend martial arts imagery at the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing.

This power that transcended one's own realm, even if his bone structure and comprehension were both perfect, without relying on the panel, would take a lot of time to grind.

In the blood prison, a phantom blade light had already appeared, emitting a sharp and fierce aura. This was his blade intent manifesting in his mind.

"Add Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture!"

Taking a deep breath, thoughts turned in Xu Yang's mind.

In an instant, the entire blood prison shook, pressing toward the blade intent.

Xu Yang's spirit was highly concentrated, as if turning into an indestructible blade, confronting the blood prison, and the aura emitted from his body became more and more fierce.

In his mind, countless insights about blades surged, turning into invisible hands, gathering his will and rubbing it into an indestructible blade of will.

"Blade intent, form for me!"

Xu Yang's scattered will gathered, condensing into a blade. An invisible but perceptible blade intent broke out of his body, and his whole body emitted a kind of chill.

A few meters away, the Cold Abyss lying on the table seemed to sense something, emitting a buzzing tremor and jumping on the table.

"Success!"

He opened his eyes, as if blade light shot out from them. His whole person's temperament changed greatly, giving people a feeling of palpitation.

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture - Minor Success (1/10000)]

His cultivation hadn't improved at all, but he felt he could easily kill his former self.

Whether it was the Fierce Sun Gang Blade or the Earth Fiend Six Harmonies Blade, he now had brand-new insights. His spirit and will had undergone earth-shaking changes, feeling that there was nothing in the world his blade couldn't cut.

"Cut!"

He raised a finger and slashed at the teacup not far away through the air.

There was no Gang Qi shooting out, nor any sound. The air distorted out of thin air, and the teacup was crossed by an invisible blade, splitting silently into two halves.

"Is this blade intent?" Xu Yang's heart surged.

Without using Gang Qi, his intent turned into a blade, and he could cut things through the air. The power of the mind was indeed magical.

If combined with blade techniques, the power would be even stronger.

He closed his eyes and felt carefully, finding that whether it was control over his body or the use of Gang Qi, it had gone to a higher level.

"Gang Qi seems to have undergone some changes, but the blade intent has just formed, so this change is not obvious."

Gang Qi was the product of the integration of essence, qi, and spirit. Now that he had cultivated blade intent, his mind and will had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his Gang Qi had also changed accordingly. Amidst the overbearing condensation, it faintly carried fierceness and sharpness, seeming even sharper.

To verify this guess, Xu Yang operated the Golden Gang Technique.

Sure enough, his Gang Qi changed rapidly, as if a precious blade was being sharpened, starting to have the aura of a "blade," "scraping" his meridians and flesh with a stinging pain.

"What fierce Gang Qi!"

He hadn't expected that the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture reaching the minor success stage and cultivating blade intent would have such an unexpected harvest. The Golden Gang Qi had turned into Golden Blade Gang Qi, and his strong physical body seemed a bit weak to it.

Operating the Bear Sutra and the Immovable Body of the Bright King again, he found that whether it was Marrow Cleansing or body tempering, the effects had improved a lot.

"The Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture is indeed a supreme technique. It's a pity that the later parts are missing."

He got off the bed, grabbed the Cold Abyss on the table, and drew it, feeling as if the two were connected by flesh and blood, giving him a strange illusion that the Cold Abyss was originally a part of his body.

"This should be considered man and blade as one!"

He didn't pour any power into it, but the Cold Abyss was autonomously spitting out cold air, and the air near the blade edge was slightly distorted, as if it were about to autonomously emit blade light.

"Good blade!" Only now did he truly discover what kind of precious blade the Cold Abyss was.

Or rather, only by comprehending blade intent could one truly exert the power of a semi-spiritual weapon. His previous use of the Cold Abyss was just staying on the superficial surface.

Dancing a few blade flowers, the air made a puffing sound, and the chilling cold air filled the whole room.

"Below Heaven Origin, I no longer fear anyone, even if the other party also comprehends martial arts imagery."

A thick confidence rose in his heart!

Now it was just that his physique was a bit lacking. After practicing the Immovable Body of the Bright King for a while longer, his physical body, Gang Qi, and mind would have no more shortcomings.

"Second dragon ascension..."

Cultivating blade intent, he was confident about the second dragon ascension. There were still more than two years left. By then, he would surely break through to the Heaven Origin realm and kill his way out from among the many geniuses.

The next day, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look at the panel:

[Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture Minor Success, points +50]

[Martial Arts Longevity Points: 345]

Nodding with satisfaction, he closed the panel and got up to practice.

A night passed, and the change in Gang Qi was more obvious. The aura of sharpness like a blade was thicker, and the Marrow Cleansing effect also improved accordingly.

An hour later, he operated the Breath-Restraining Technique, concealing all the sharpness on his body. His whole person became ordinary. Only then did he walk out of the quiet room. After washing, he pushed the door and walked out of the courtyard, intending to go to the dining hall to eat.

"Haha... Brother Xu, your cultivation is finally not hidden anymore."

Just out of the courtyard, he heard a hearty laugh from behind.

Xu Yang looked back and saw Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan walking over with long strides.

"He really knows my true cultivation."

Xu Yang smiled and bowed: "Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang, long time no see."

"It's only been a month or so. I didn't expect that upon returning to the Purple Sun Sect, Brother Xu, you have become famous, ranked fifth on the Top Ten List. Congratulations." Jiang Fan had a smile on his face.

He had a strange treasure on him that could sense the cultivation of people approaching him within a certain range, so he had known Xu Yang's true cultivation long ago.

He hadn't expected that the person he had favored back then, who could hide it all the time like in the outer sect, would have his bottom line exposed by an Autumn Water Villa task.
