Chapter 405

"This is your mission settlement slip!" Fan Chongde handed the written note to Xu Yang.

In the blink of an eye, the three-month guarding mission of the Divine Weapon Pavilion ended, and no accidents occurred.

"Shopkeeper Fan, we are leaving."

Taking the settlement slip, Xu Yang and Zhou Zhichao and the others left the Divine Weapon Pavilion together and rushed to the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Brother Xu, have you reached Gang Qi Perfection?" Zhou Zhichao asked.

"A few days ago, I was lucky enough to reach perfection," Xu Yang smiled.

Now, there was only half a year left until the annual outer sect competition. Displaying Gang Qi Perfection cultivation at this time, when the outer sect competition started, he could logically participate in the competition with Marrow Cleansing realm cultivation.

Even if Zhou Zhichao didn't ask, he planned to reveal the news of Gang Qi Perfection in a few days and start impacting the Marrow Cleansing realm.

"Worthy of being a Ten Elites genius!" Zhou Zhichao cupped his hands.

But in his heart, he thought that the panel had only reached Gang Qi Perfection at this time; by the time of the outer sect competition, Xu Yang couldn't possibly be Marrow Cleansing.

In this way, if he wanted to join the inner sect, he would inevitably have to do the assessment mission.

His mind was active, and he had the idea of forming an alliance with Xu Yang to complete the assessment mission together.

Xu Yang showed a trace of shame and said: "Brother Zhou knows many people; I wonder if anyone among the Ten Elites has reached Marrow Cleansing?"

Among the people on the Ten Elites list, except for the top three, the earliest to reach Gang Qi Perfection had already been about five months, and perhaps someone had already successfully reached Marrow Cleansing.

For these people who would compete with him in the outer sect competition in the future, he naturally had to pay attention.

Zhou Zhichao swallowed the words that were about to come out and said: "There shouldn't be. Marrow Cleansing is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I am familiar with Han Feng; he is still impacting the Marrow Cleansing realm, and others shouldn't have broken through either."

Li Yi said: "I know someone who has a good relationship with Xiong Kun; he also said that Xiong Kun hasn't reached Marrow Cleansing yet."

Xu Jun said: "Whoever reaches Marrow Cleansing shouldn't hide it. Whoever reaches Marrow Cleansing first means he is the fourth of the Ten Elites, which will be helpful for the upcoming apprenticeship. Only a fool would deliberately hide it."

How does this guy still curse people when he speaks?

Xu Yang said: "In this way, no one should have reached Marrow Cleansing yet."

"After all, there is still half a year; by then, someone should have broken through."

Zhou Zhichao said, looking at Xu Yang: "Brother Xu, have you thought about forming an alliance with someone to complete the assessment mission together in the future?"

Alliance?

Xu Yang instantly knew Zhou Zhichao's plan, thinking that he couldn't possibly win the top three in the outer sect competition, and wanted to form an alliance with him to help each other complete the assessment mission in the future. However, he couldn't say that I had already reached Marrow Cleansing and the top three were stable, so there was no need to do the assessment mission.

He smiled and said: "I have thought about it."

Zhou Zhichao's face was slightly happy and said: "What does Brother Xu think of me? Although my talent is not as good as Brother Xu's, I am confident that I can reach Gang Qi Perfection when the three-year term expires, and I am absolutely qualified to join forces with Brother Xu."

"Brother Zhou's methods are naturally qualified to join forces with me, but I have a few friends, and I have already agreed to join forces with them."

Xu Yang didn't refuse directly but casually made up a few non-existent people.

"This is really a pity."

Zhou Zhichao didn't expect that Xu Yang had already joined forces with others and could only sigh.

A group of people soon arrived at the Mission Hall to hand in the mission, and after receiving the contribution points, they dispersed.

Xu Yang relaxed again. Besides cultivating, he would go to the peach forest every evening to guide Xu Qing for half an hour.

The little girl's innate talent was average, but she finally had some comprehension. In terms of martial arts cultivation, her progress was not slow. The Fine Rain Startling Wind Sword she mainly practiced was about to reach the Minor Success realm.

She had her own contribution points, and Xu Yang guided her to exchange for the Stepping Gang Chasing Wind in the Scripture Hall, which she had already started practicing.

As for cultivation, it should still take a few months to reach Minor Success.

She was at the Medicine King Peak and came into contact with many medicinal herbs. Xu Yang simply gave her the "Introduction to Alchemy" he had obtained from Su Che, letting her look at it every day. If she could become an alchemist, he would also be much more at ease.

Of course, he was not in a hurry at the moment; it would take at least a year or two to thoroughly understand the "Introduction to Alchemy."

Occasionally, he would also go to find Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li to gather, have a small drink, or guide the two in martial arts.

Both of them listened to him very much and knew the horror outside, so even if they had reached Gang Qi Formation, they would never leave the sect for half a step.

This day, Xu Yang collected the main medicine for another batch of Yuan-Gathering Pills, and the next day he rushed to Qingyang City to refine them.

After refining, he came to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion again to buy Return-to-Origin Pills.

The main medicine for the Yuan-Gathering Pill was really hard to collect, and many times there would be a shortage of medicine. Although it was not very cost-effective, what he lacked now was not money, but pills.

"Master Xu, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion will hold an auction again in seven days. Do you want to participate?" Zhou Yong asked after taking the medicine.

"Of course!" Xu Yang said without hesitation.

If it weren't for the last auction, which he missed because of Xiao Hua's threat, he wouldn't have ended up in a situation where he didn't have enough pills. He later heard that the three main materials for the Yuan-Gathering Pill had appeared at that auction.

Time flew by, and soon it was seven days later. Xu Yang prepared the silver notes and rushed to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. The position was also the original position, next to Guo Huai and the others.

"Brother Xu!"

Seeing Xu Yang appear, Shen Liang stood up to greet him, but found that Guo Huai, An Ping, and others didn't move, so he had to sit down sullenly.

"Brother Shen!"

Xu Yang cupped his hands and sensed it, finding that all of them had reached Gang Qi Major Success. No wonder they had the confidence to ignore him.

Sitting in his own seat, Xu Yang looked around and found that there were few acquaintances.

Lu Ren was not seen, and Qin Ze, Liu Qian, and others didn't come either.

Not far away, Cao Rong saw Xu Yang's gaze sweep over and smiled, cupping his hands. Xu Yang smiled and nodded in response.

Soon the auction began. Xu Yang was not interested in anything other than the main materials for the Yuan-Gathering Pill.

After waiting for a while, Tiger Bone Vine finally appeared, and there were three roots.

He directly shouted a high price of four hundred taels, and immediately no one competed with him. Guo Huai and the others next to him also auctioned a bottle of Ten-Complete Great Replenishment Pills, and Cao Rong also made a move and auctioned a bottle.

Until the end, nothing else Xu Yang needed appeared.

The crowd stood up and began to disperse.

"Brother Guo, are we going to your house first this time?" An Ping smiled.

Guo Huai shook his head: "Now that we have all reached Gang Qi Major Success, who would rob and kill four Gang Qi Major Success experts for a mere bottle of Return-to-Origin Pills?"

Four Gang Qi Major Success martial artists—unless a Marrow Cleansing martial artist makes a move, but a Marrow Cleansing martial artist wouldn't look down on the bottle of Return-to-Origin Pills in their hands.

Tang Xiao smiled and nodded: "Brother Guo is right. With our current cultivation, it's not bad that we don't go to rob and kill others."

Once these words were spoken, An Ping's eyes lit up, and his gaze swept over Xu Yang not far away: "Why don't we go to rob and kill others too?"

Four Gang Qi Major Success join forces—as long as they don't go to rob and kill Marrow Cleansing martial artists, not to mention being sure of success, at least they won't have life-threatening danger.

"Do you want to rob and kill Xu Yang?" Guo Huai's gaze condensed, and he transmitted his voice.

"Why not? Now we are all Gang Qi Major Success, no need to be afraid of him. He comes to every auction and spends no less money than all of us combined. He should have a lot of money on him," An Ping said with burning eyes.

He didn't know when he started wanting to put Xu Yang to death. A mud-legged person, yet he had rejected his face several times. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have wanted to act long ago.

"Xu Yang is indeed strange; I feel he has more money than us," Tang Xiao was somewhat tempted.

"Shen Liang, what is your thought?" Guo Huai looked at Shen Liang.

Shen Liang's expression changed slightly and said: "I don't want to do this kind of thing. If you want to do it, do it yourselves. He is a Ten Elites genius after all, Gang Qi Perfection. If the four of us join forces, he might not be a match, but wanting to kill him is almost impossible.

If he escapes and knows our identities, then just wait for death."

Guo Huai nodded: "Shen Liang's words make sense. Better not take risks. If you want to rob and kill, you should go rob and kill some people you are sure of."

An Ping secretly said it was a pity, but he also understood that Shen Liang's words made sense. If the four of them joined forces, Xu Yang might not be an opponent, but they really weren't sure they could kill the Gang Qi Perfection Xu Yang.

"Killing intent toward me?" Xu Yang's gaze was cold and sharp.

An Ping's gaze swept over, and the killing intent had already been captured by his five senses. He wasn't very angry; he had also planned to take this opportunity to slaughter An Ping.

"Brother Xu, how about we go back to the mountain together? I see you also auctioned something, so it's good to have support on the road," Cao Rong smiled and leaned over.

"Good!" Xu Yang smiled.

He didn't even think that Cao Rong would treat him as a friend and take the initiative to invite him back to the Profound Heaven Sect. He didn't know if he was too naive or had other plans.

The two left the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and immediately left Qingyang City. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
