Chapter 390

It was agreed that when Xu Qing came to the Profound Heaven Sect, he would bring her to find him. It had been so many days, and he hadn't seen any movement from Xu Yang.

Xu Yang cupped his fists, "I haven't forgotten, but my younger sister is currently breaking through to practice Qi into Gang. I was thinking of waiting until she practiced Qi into Gang before bringing her to find Deacon Sun."

Sun Ke said coldly, "Now that new disciples have entered, there are a bunch of people with connections. If you wait until your sister practices Qi into Gang to choose, all the good jobs will be taken by others. There is a good job now; if you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

Xu Yang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Of course I want a good job. May I ask what it is?"

He hadn't considered this point, thinking it wouldn't be too late to choose a task after Xu Qing practiced Qi into Gang, ignoring that he could find Sun Tao, and others could also recruit people.

Sun Ke said, "Medicine King Peak is recruiting disciples for medicinal herb cultivation, responsible for the cultivation and care of medicinal herbs. They only need five people. There won't be any problems with safety, and you can also come into contact with things related to alchemy. This is one of the best jobs in the outer sect.

Of course, there are many people who want this task. If you want your sister to do this task, you need at least this much silver."

As he spoke, he held up two fingers.

Xu Yang knew he meant two thousand taels, "My younger sister doesn't understand anything about medicinal herbs. Is that okay?"

He wasn't reluctant to part with two thousand taels of silver; two thousand taels of silver wasn't a large amount of money to him now, as he still had seven or eight thousand taels on him.

If he could find a safe job where Xu Qing could learn things, he would be willing to spend even more.

He had heard of this task; it was indeed good and very suitable for women.

Yuan Sujie was at Medicine King Peak doing medicinal herb cultivation, but Yuan Sujie seemed to have learned knowledge in this area from a very young age. Xu Qing didn't know anything. If she was sent back after a few days, the money would be wasted.

Sun Ke said, "It's precisely because she doesn't understand that it takes two thousand taels to grease the wheels. If she understood things in this area, this money wouldn't be needed.

Alchemy is one of the sect's most important inheritances. As long as she enters Medicine King Peak, no matter how poor her talent is, the sect will give her two years to learn.

As long as she can learn some of the fur of medicinal herb cultivation, she can eventually stay."

With things said to this point, Xu Yang had no choice but to pay. He also wanted Xu Qing to go to Medicine King Peak.

Sun Ke happily accepted the money and said, "Tomorrow, have her come to the Task Hall to find me. I will personally take her to Medicine King Peak."

The next day, Xu Yang personally took Xu Qing to find Sun Ke and watched them go up to Medicine King Peak before rushing toward Departing Fire Peak.

In the evening, he slowly came to the peach forest to practice the Xiong Wang Palm for a while before leaving.

The newly entered disciples all started doing tasks and became busy. Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li, under his guidance, also started doing tasks.

After eating, Xu Yang returned to his room and summoned the panel.

【Innate Talent: 100】

【Comprehension: 80】

【Cultivation Method: Bear Scripture Marrow Cleansing Chapter · Entry-level (467/3000), Xiong Wang Palm · Entry-level (1745/2000)...】

【Skills: Qi Gathering Pill, Blood Coagulation Pill...】

【Remaining Lifespan: 98】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 389】

The progress of marrow cleansing was still the same, increasing a little every day.

This was still because he had been taking Qi Gathering Pills. If there were no Qi Gathering Pills, it would be hard to imagine how slow the speed of marrow cleansing would be.

As marrow cleansing progressed, his remaining lifespan was about to reach one hundred.

Looking at the panel, Xu Yang began to ponder.

According to the time deduction, in less than three months, Xiao Hua's one-year term guarding Qingshan Town would be up, and he would definitely return by then.

Even if he didn't know that it was he who slaughtered Xiao Chen, he would likely continue to cause him trouble. After all, it was because of him that Xiao Hua was punished to guard Qingshan, and previously Su Zhe targeted him, so perhaps Su Man knew something.

So he couldn't be careless. Xiao Hua had reached Minor Success in marrow cleansing. If they really faced off, he feared he wouldn't be a match, so he had to have some trump cards.

"Three months. If my comprehension is perfect, I wonder if I can bring the Xiong Wang Palm to perfection and comprehend a martial arts image."

Xu Yang's gaze looked at the comprehension column; his comprehension was still twenty points away from perfection.

Three months later, he wasn't sure he could rival Xiao Hua, who had reached Minor Success in marrow cleansing. If he added a martial arts image, he would have a great chance of confronting or even killing Xiao Hua when he returned in three months.

"Comprehension, add!"

Anyway, he already had enough points. Xu Yang didn't have any hesitation and immediately used two hundred points to add to comprehension.

In an instant, he only felt a cool sensation surging from the depths of his brain, as if a layer of mist was gradually dissipating, and his perception gradually became clear.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everything faded away.

Xu Yang found that after adding comprehension to perfection, he didn't have the kind of rebirth change that occurred when innate talent was perfect; he only felt his head was empty and bright, and his spirit was refreshed.

He closed his eyes and began to try to comprehend the Xiong Wang Palm. The essence in his brain roared, as if a little person was practicing, and some essentials he didn't quite understand before were now easily comprehended.

The aura on Xu Yang's body became increasingly fierce, carrying a sense of ambition and violence. At a certain moment, he only felt a roar in his brain, his mind and spirit jolted, and a sense of fatigue floated in his heart.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and stopped the deduction and comprehension of the Xiong Wang Palm, only to find that two hours had already passed.

One must know that before, his mind and spirit could at most comprehend the Xiong Wang Palm for one hour before being exhausted. Now, the time had been extended by a full double.

【Xiong Wang Palm · Minor Success (4/4000)】

Looking at the panel again, in two hours, relying solely on the comprehension and deduction of his mind and spirit, he had actually directly comprehended the Xiong Wang Palm to the Minor Success realm.

This effect made Xu Yang somewhat shocked.

"Is this perfect comprehension? Truly terrifying."

Within three months, bringing the Xiong Wang Palm to perfection shouldn't be much of a problem.

He was secretly shocked by the power of perfect comprehension, and waves of fatigue and sleepiness hit him, so he lay down and slept.

In the following days, Xu Yang cultivated even more diligently, and the progress of the Xiong Wang Palm could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, progressing frighteningly fast.

Because of this, the marrow-cleansing effect of the Bear Scripture also improved quite a bit.

The two were originally one, one moving and one static, complementing each other. Many people, even if they had the opportunity to change to a more powerful mental method, persisted in cultivating because they coveted the Xiong Wang Palm and the Bear Scripture combined, which could comprehend a martial arts image.

Half a month later, Sun Tao and the others entered the Yunling Mountain Range again to search for treasure, and Xu Yang continued to lie low.

Another half month passed, and Xu Qing brought the first piece of good news: she successfully comprehended the Hunyuan Strength and practiced Qi into Gang.

However, she learned Xu Yang's low-key approach. Besides telling Xu Yang, she didn't tell anyone about practicing Qi into Gang.

Upon learning this, Xu Yang immediately imparted the Rain-Startling Wind Sword, Wind-Breaking Fist, Breath-Restraining Technique, Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Method, and other Gang Qi martial arts and secret techniques to her. She didn't need to waste contribution points to exchange for Gang Qi martial arts.

Only the Evil Six Harmonies Blade, Blazing Sun Gang Blade, and Diamond Body Technique were not imparted. After all, she was a girl, so practicing the sword was more suitable, and what was truly powerful in the Profound Heaven Sect was also sword techniques.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to impart the Diamond Body Technique, but that he hadn't figured out the origin of this martial art yet. If there was any karma, it would be troublesome if it implicated Xu Qing.

Moreover, this was a slow-grinding effort. With Xu Qing's talent, she might not be able to practice Jin Gang Qi even after ten years. In ten years, the daylily would have withered.

One must know that even he had spent three or four years to cultivate Jin Gang Qi.

This day, Xu Yang came down from Departing Fire Peak and arrived at the peach forest. Xu Qing was already waiting there.

This was never home, and they lived in different courtyards. For the brother and sister to meet, they could only take advantage of the time to practice in the evening.

Basically, as long as Xu Qing had nothing to do, she would come here every day to wait for him. One was to cling to him, and the other was to let him guide her in martial arts.

"Why did you come so early today?" Xu Yang smiled.

Xu Qing's expression was somewhat excited, "Brother, I've learned the Azure Wood Technique. Do you want to learn it?"

The Azure Wood Technique of Medicine King Peak was the key to cultivating medicinal herbs and was also one of the important inheritances.

Back then, Sun Ke hadn't lied. Medicine King Peak indeed had a certain amount of training for disciples like Xu Qing who were specifically cultivated for medicinal herb cultivation, and the Azure Wood Technique was one of the benefits.

Xu Yang was indeed very interested in the Azure Wood Technique, but he knew that private transmission of cultivation methods was a great taboo, and if discovered, one would have their martial arts crippled.

He refused Xu Qing, guided her in the Rain-Startling Wind Sword for a while, and then went to the side to practice the Xiong Wang Palm.

After a while, he suddenly felt his blood and Qi surging, his tendons and bones roaring, and his Gang Qi surging like an angry sea.

"Boom, boom..."

Amidst the trembling sound, the great dragon on his spine seemed to come alive, wriggling segment by segment, his muscles knotted like a great python, actually supporting his clothes.

An astonishing aura permeated the forest, startling Xu Qing, who was practicing not far away.

She turned her head in shock, only to see Xu Yang's hair and beard all standing up, his body expanded by a circle, and his entire person looked like a Xiong Wang standing on two legs, his arms thicker than an ordinary person's thighs, as if he had transformed.

Xu Qing's eyes widened. Was this monster in front of her that elegant eldest brother of hers? How did he look like a supreme fierce beast that had walked out of the Great Wilderness?

"Brother's realm has broken through again!" Xu Qing's beautiful eyes revealed a look of shock, and she didn't make a sound to disturb Xu Yang.

At this moment, Xu Yang was in a strange state.

The Bear Scripture operated spontaneously, as if resonating with the Xiong Wang Palm. Roars came to his ears, and in a trance, he seemed to see a Xiong Wang as high as a mountain, with fierce power, running on the ancient earth.

The essence of the Bear Scripture resounded in his heart like a yellow bell and a great drum. His tendons and bones wriggled, and new blood like mercury surged out.

【Xiong Wang Palm · Major Success (59/8000)】

When Xu Yang came to his senses, he felt refreshed all over, his strength surged, and the Xiong Wang Palm had entered the Major Success realm.

It was just that the progress value of eight thousand made his scalp tingle.

No wonder many inner sect disciples practiced the Xiong Wang Palm for more than ten years and couldn't comprehend a martial arts image. The difficulty was too high.

Now he asked himself that his understanding of the Xiong Wang Palm was already very thorough, and there was no place he didn't understand, yet he was still so far away from comprehending a martial arts image.

Many people were afraid that once they reached the Major Success realm, they would feel they couldn't progress further and couldn't find a direction for cultivation.
