Chapter 317

Xu Yang only felt his head swell, and a large amount of information surged in—the characteristics of various medicinal materials used in the Origin-Gathering Pill, as well as various precautions when refining pills, were all clearly understood.

It was as if he had already refined the Origin-Gathering Pill hundreds of times and was full of various insights and experiences in refining the Origin-Gathering Pill.

【Origin-Gathering Pill (400/400)】

"Success!"

Xu Yang opened his eyes, his face full of joy; he had finally learned the Origin-Gathering Pill, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.

From now on, he could refine pills for the Gang Qi realm himself and wouldn't need to beg others.

Controlling his patience, he cultivated both the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture and the Diamond Body Technique, and when dawn broke, he rushed straight to Qingyang City at the foot of the mountain.

"I hope the three main ingredients aren't that hard to buy."

Gang Qi realm pills were controlled by big families, so the medicinal materials for refining them were probably not easy to buy either.

Gang Qi realm pills were rare; besides the few pill masters, another reason was probably related to the scarcity of medicinal materials.

Putting on a bamboo hat, Xu Yang entered the first pharmacy; unsurprisingly, he didn't buy any of the three main ingredients.

Walking to the fifth shop, he finally spent one hundred taels to buy a thirty-year-old ginseng.

"Still missing Pure Yang Grass and Tiger Bone Vine."

The easiest to buy was this thirty-year-old ginseng; what was truly rare were the Tiger Bone Vine and Pure Yang Grass.

He had seen the Tiger Bone Vine in the black market, but he had only encountered the Pure Yang Grass at the auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Things that could go to an auction meant they were very rare.

He ran to more than a dozen pharmacies and finally spent one hundred and twenty taels to buy a Tiger Bone Vine.

"Cannot go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion."

Xu Yang passed by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion but didn't dare to go in to ask if there was any Pure Yang Grass. After walking for a while, he came to the Hundred Medicines Hall he once guarded.

As an industry of the Profound Heaven Sect, they should have things like Pure Yang Grass, but he didn't know if they sold them to outsiders.

Lowering the bamboo hat on his head, Xu Yang finally stepped into the Hundred Medicines Hall: "Manager, may I ask if there is any Pure Yang Grass for sale here?"

The manager looked up from behind the counter, sized Xu Yang up, and said: "Not many people buy Pure Yang Grass. Is the guest a pill master?"

He didn't recognize that the person in front of him was Xu Yang, a Profound Heaven Sect disciple who once guarded here.

Xu Yang pinched his throat and said: "Manager, just tell me if there is any."

This was the reason he specifically ran to those small shops; although troublesome, people wouldn't care what you bought them for.

Shops opened by big forces would want to figure out your identity if you went to buy these things, which easily caused problems.

"Just received one plant. If the guest wants it, take it for one hundred and fifty taels," the manager smiled, not continuing to ask.

Xu Yang frowned instantly.

This was clearly wanting to slaughter him.

He remembered that at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion auction, the auction price of Pure Yang Grass didn't reach one hundred and fifty taels per plant.

It was just that in the current situation, if he went to other places, he might not be able to buy Pure Yang Grass, so even if they shouted two hundred taels, he would have to pay obediently.

"Of course I want it!"

Hesitating for only a moment, Xu Yang took out the money to pay.

Getting the Pure Yang Grass, Xu Yang next went to several pharmacies and bought all the medicinal materials for refining the Origin-Gathering Pill, with a total cost of over five hundred taels.

Returning to the rented courtyard, he started cleaning the pill furnace and preparing to refine pills.

There were no surprises; the next day, as a burst of pill fragrance wafted over, Xu Yang uncovered the pill furnace, only to see ten red Origin-Gathering Pills lying quietly in the furnace.

"Ten pills refined, not bad!"

Xu Yang smiled; the medicinal effect of the Origin-Gathering Pill was not as good as the Return-to-Origin Pill and the Ten-Complete Great Replenishment Pill, but it was a Gang Qi realm pill after all.

With this furnace of Origin-Gathering Pills, he could reach Major Success in Gang Qi in ten days or half a month at most.

Putting away the Origin-Gathering Pills, Xu Yang slept beautifully and wasn't in a hurry to take the Origin-Gathering Pills.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon, and he rushed to the Four Seas Escort Agency to get the little girl's reply.

Xu Yang unfolded the letter; the little girl's handwriting was becoming more and more elegant.

The content of the letter was very simple, mostly missing him, and also explaining her martial arts practice.

The little girl had already started practicing martial arts and had successfully gathered Qi half a month ago, but her talent seemed not very good, as it took her nearly two months to successfully gather Qi.

"As long as she can gather Qi!" Xu Yang was full of smiles.

As long as she could gather Qi, with his help behind her, there would be no problem practicing to Gang Qi or even Marrow Cleansing, and she could also extend her life by more than a dozen years.

After reading the letter from beginning to end, Xu Yang returned to the Profound Heaven Sect and immediately took out an Origin-Gathering Pill and swallowed it.

The pill turned into a heat flow and surged into his limbs and bones; he mobilized the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture to refine the medicinal power.

An hour later, most of the medicinal power had been refined, and only some that had settled in the flesh and blood needed more time.

【Mountain-Bearing Bear Gang Qi Scripture · Minor Success (3642/4000)】

Sure enough, the medicinal effect couldn't compare to the Return-to-Origin Pill; one Origin-Gathering Pill could only increase the progress of the Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture by about eighty.

However, he still had nine Origin-Gathering Pills.
