Chapter 329

The three of them were full of envy, feeling that they were just risking their lives for Xu Yang.

Xu Yang easily traded away the things they had risked their lives to obtain with a martial technique he no longer needed; no wonder people like Cao Rong and Liu Qing were so shameless.

Taking the Drizzle Startling Wind Sword secret manual and handing it to Sun Tao, Xu Yang obtained this stalk of Pure Yang Grass.

Plus the Tiger Bone Grass and thirty-year-old ginseng he had saved before, he had gathered the main ingredients for another furnace of Origin-Gathering Pills.

However, he was not in a hurry to go down the mountain to refine pills because the Origin-Gathering Pills in his hand had not been used up yet.

Xu Yang's life continued to be calm, and various news came.

The top twenty selected in the previous outer sect competition had already successfully completed the assessment mission and entered the inner sect, including Liu Xiao.

Of course, several people died in the assessment, and some were still having headaches about the assessment.

It is said that in the outer sect, some people hadn't completed the assessment mission for a year or two.

Half a month later, Sun Tao and the other three said goodbye to Xu Yang and entered the Yunling Mountain Range.

Another half a month passed, all the medicinal pills were used up, and Xu Yang's Gang Qi finally reached its limit.

At this time, the last few on the Ten Elites List had not yet reached Gang Qi Major Success.

"It's almost time for the biennial Wu Gong Examination."

Counting on his fingers, there was less than two months left for the Wu Gong Examination. Unknowingly, it had been almost two years since he came to the Profound Heaven Sect.

"The little girl is going to participate in the Wu Gong Examination. With the medicinal pills I sent, she should be able to reach Qi Gathering Major Success by the time of the Wu Gong Examination. As long as her luck isn't too bad, Dragon-Ascending is no problem."

He should actually rush back, but the Profound Heaven Sect has a rule that without the sect's permission, one is not allowed to return to their hometown.

Even Jiang Ping, who was half-crippled, was not allowed to return to Qingyuan County and had to serve outside for ten years before he could leave.

With this mortality rate, they were also afraid that if it spread, there would be no cattle and horses to use.

【Diamond Body Technique · Minor Success (3743/4000)】

The Diamond Body Technique could reach Major Success in at most a month. Once it reached Major Success, he could start to break through to Marrow Cleansing.

In the following time, Xu Yang's cultivation focus was on the Diamond Body Technique, and the touch of gold in his Gang Qi became more and more intense.

This day, Xu Yang received news that the Qingyuan Society was holding a trading fair again.

Although he didn't have high expectations, he still prepared to participate. It was fine either way; what if there was a chance to pick up a bargain?

Just as he walked outside the restaurant where the Qingyuan Society was located, he bumped into Lu Ren.

I saw Lu Ren in high spirits, his overbearing aura couldn't be controlled, radiating from his body to all sides.

"I have reached Gang Qi Major Success!" Lu Ren said calmly.

Boom!

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap, and the people around showed shock.

What?!

Lu Ren reached Gang Qi Major Success?

Countless people's hearts trembled, their faces full of horror.

One must know that on the Ten Elites List, except for the top five, even Xie Zhan in sixth and Chen Yu in seventh had not reached Gang Qi Major Success.

He, who was eighth on the Ten Elites List, reached Gang Qi Major Success before these two; how could this not be shocking?

Not far away, Gu Haoming and Cao Rong appeared.

Both of them had complex expressions, carrying regret.

If they had known that Jiang Fan wouldn't pursue Lu Ren, if they had been firmer, Lu Ren would still be on their side now.

The one who regretted the most was Gu Haoming.

In order to cultivate Lu Ren, the Gu family invested no less than several thousand taels of silver, but in the end, it was such an outcome.

Not only could Lu Ren not be used by him, but if there was a chance outside, Lu Ren might even kill him.

"And then?" Xu Yang's expression was calm.

If he didn't want to let the Diamond Body Technique reach Major Success, he would have already cleansed his marrow. Lu Ren reaching Gang Qi Major Success had no influence on him at all.

Of course, he was actually somewhat surprised by Lu Ren's progress.

After being abandoned by Gu Haoming and others, this guy's life seemed worse than before, with no one to treat him well, but his cultivation was advancing more bravely than before.

Training in the Yunling Mountain Range every day, his progress was terrifying; he actually reached Gang Qi Major Success before Xie Zhan and Chen Yu.

"Don't you understand? If this continues, your Dragon-Ascending path will stop here."

Dragon-Ascending!

It doesn't end with becoming an outer sect disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect; this is just the first step of Dragon-Ascending, and apprenticing into the inner sect is the second step.

Glancing coldly at Gu Haoming in the distance, Lu Ren walked into the restaurant with long strides.

Xu Yang's mouth curled into a smile; the shadow he cast on Lu Ren should be quite large, even if Lu Ren's personality changed greatly, he still kept thinking about competing with him.

If he told Lu Ren that he reached Gang Qi Major Success before Li Chuyang, I'm afraid this guy would be autistic.

Turning around and following him upstairs, Xu Yang found a place to sit down.

The trading fair started quickly!

This time Yun Heng did not appear; those who came were Liu Qing, Cao Jin, and a person from the last of the four major families in Qingyuan County, whose name was Luo Lie.

Xu Yang changed his strategy this time; he didn't take the initiative to find others, but placed the Wind-Breaking Fist and the Drizzle Startling Wind Sword in front of himself, letting others take the initiative to find him.

Sure enough, the effect was much better than last time; although he didn't trade for the three main ingredients of the Origin-Gathering Pill, he traded for a lot of contribution points and silver.

"That's enough!"

Returning from patrolling this day, Xu Yang plunged into his room and locked himself up.

【Diamond Body Technique · Minor Success (3998/4000)】

The Diamond Body Technique had reached the last step.

Although this body-protecting martial art is a water-grinding effort, it also has a benefit: it can reach Major Success when the time is ripe, unlike other martial arts where the last step is very difficult.

"The Diamond Body Technique reaching Major Success will be today."

Taking an Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill, the Diamond Body Technique began to operate in his body with a roar.

Star-like gold appeared on his body, spreading all over his body in an instant, making him look like a golden man cast in gold.

To this day, the gold on his body was already very intense, but it still looked a bit short.

The Jin Gang Qi operated in his body, cleansing his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh; every time it operated a cycle, the Gang Qi condensed a bit.

Diamond Body Technique!

Only by practicing the truly perfect Diamond Gang Qi can this technique be considered truly Major Success.

After continuously operating the Diamond Body Technique for two hours, an overbearing aura suddenly rose from Xu Yang's body.

In an instant, all the Gang Qi went out of control, beginning to operate at a terrifying speed, and the blood surged like boiling water.

Xu Yang's hair stood on end, his muscles expanded, and his whole body's muscles and bones seemed to squirm, making a crackling sound.

Blinding golden light lit up from his body, illuminating the entire room.

The true Jin Gang Qi was born!

Overbearing and condensed, and rich in vitality.

His flesh, muscles, and bones greedily absorbed the Jin Gang Qi, and their strength and toughness improved rapidly.

Xu Yang looked inside his body, only to see his muscles and bones making a high-frequency tremor, and strands of blood condensed like mercury were born from the bones, blood-red like diamonds, crystal clear.

In an instant, his body seemed to have opened a valve, and strong power surged from his muscles and bones, his blood and Qi surging.

"It actually started to cleanse the marrow; everything is water-ripening!"

Xu Yang was pleasantly surprised; he didn't expect that when the Diamond Body Technique reached Major Success, he would naturally enter the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

A roar like muffled thunder rang out from his muscles and bones, and the Jin Gang Qi surged like a giant hammer, bombarding his muscles and bones, shaking off bone powder.

His pores began to sweat, carrying a blood-red color.

Cleansing the marrow!

His muscles and bones felt uncomfortable numbness and scorching heat, as if being forged by an invisible giant hammer, undergoing reorganization and rebirth.

Xu Yang hurriedly took off his clothes, and in a while, his body was covered with red sweat.

"Even with Grade A innate talent, one would have to be stuck in the Marrow Cleansing Realm for at least four or five months before starting to cleanse the marrow, but I broke through naturally."

Xu Yang only felt that his physical strength was increasing rapidly, his body was full of vitality, and his five senses spread out like a large net for more than twenty meters; even a slight movement twenty or thirty meters away was captured by his five senses.

"Boom!"

With a thought, he operated the Marrow Cleansing chapter of the Mountain-Bearing Bear Classic, letting the Jin Gang Qi turn into an even more surging tide and rush into the bone marrow for cleansing.
