Chapter 437

~8 min read 1,459 words

After consolidating his cultivation base for another two days, he left the Purple Sun Sect with the two stalks of Pure Yang Grass sent by the Su family and went to Qingyang City to collect thirty-year-old ginseng and Tiger Bone Vine, intending to start refining pills.

"You finally decided to leave the Purple Sun Sect!"

Not long after Xu Yang left, Su Zhe's figure appeared, killing intent surging in his eyes.

The Pure Yang Grass was naturally not given to Xu Yang casually, but with a purpose.

The Su family investigated and found that Xu Yang had once bought a prescription for Origin Gathering Pills at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, and also found out that Xu Yang had exchanged for Pure Yang Grass with others several times at the Qingyuan Society's trading fair, and had also bought an alchemy cauldron in Qingyang City.

From this, the Su family concluded that Xu Yang had been secretly practicing the refining of Origin Gathering Pills.

To refine Origin Gathering Pills, it certainly wouldn't work in the sect; he could only go to Qingyang City.

Therefore, for that apology gift, Su Jiangong specially sent Pure Yang Grass, just to make Xu Yang leave the Purple Sun Sect so the Su family would have an opportunity to strike.

Sure enough, Xu Yang had left the Purple Sun Sect just like that.

"Father is truly calculating; if it weren't for the accidental death of the two alchemists, my Su family would definitely have advanced further."

Su Zhe waited for another two quarters of an hour until he was sure he wouldn't run into Xu Yang, and only then did he leave the Purple Sun Sect.

"Shopkeeper, do you have Tiger Bone Vine or thirty-year-old ginseng?" Xu Yang walked into a pharmacy.

He had already bought one stalk of thirty-year-old ginseng and still needed one Tiger Bone Vine to complete the main ingredients for a cauldron.

"No Tiger Bone Vine, but we have thirty-year-old ginseng!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.

He spent one hundred taels to buy the ginseng, and after walking for a while after leaving the pharmacy, he discovered that the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was ahead.

"Let's go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and take a look."

He hadn't dared to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to buy the main ingredients for Origin Gathering Pills before, fearing it would cause trouble; now that he had reached Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing, he didn't need to be as cautious as before, and even if there was some trouble, he was confident he could solve it.

"Greetings, Master Xu; congratulations on winning third place in the outer sect competition."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yong greeted him with a smile.

Third place in the Purple Sun Sect's outer sect competition!

He hadn't expected Xu Yang to achieve such an accomplishment, and he had misjudged him once again.

"Do you have the three main ingredients for Origin Gathering Pills for sale?" Xu Yang went straight to the point.

The prescription for Origin Gathering Pills was bought at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, so there was no need to hide it here and make it more suspicious.

This Zhou Yong was somewhat unusual; he could guess that he wanted to refine Origin Gathering Pills just by asking for one of the ingredients, so he might as well just say it directly.

Zhou Yong was stunned and asked curiously: "Master Xu has learned to refine Origin Gathering Pills?"

In a year or two, could Xu Yang have learned to refine Origin Gathering Pills on his own?

Xu Yang laughed: "Isn't that what I'm learning now?"

Zhou Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that when the three-year term is up, Master Xu intends to join Medicine King Peak."

"I have that intention; don't talk nonsense, do you have the items? If not, I'll go to the next one."

Zhou Yong nodded: "We do, but these items are very rare; like the Ten-Complete Great Replenishment Pill, they are supplied in limited quantities every month. I can prepare a set for you, Master Xu."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up; the Myriad Treasure Pavilion truly lived up to its name. Although the items were limited, they were complete.

"Then prepare a set, and also give me one Ten-Complete Great Replenishment Pill!"

After coming out of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, Xu Yang went to a few more pharmacies and finally bought a Tiger Bone Vine, gathering enough main ingredients for two cauldrons of Origin Gathering Pills. He also bought the rest of the medicinal herbs and hurried to the courtyard he had bought to start refining pills.

The Su family!

"Father is as wise as a god; Xu Yang has already gone down the mountain."

Su Zhe excitedly found his father, Su Jiangong, and reported the news of Xu Yang going down the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Su Jiangong was overjoyed: "Go and secretly invite your second uncle; don't alert anyone else."

Xu Yang's achievement of third place in the outer sect competition, although he hadn't yet joined the inner sect, was already a foregone conclusion.

To ambush him, the Su family didn't dare to let too many people know.

"Yes!"

Su Zhe cupped his hands, his face full of joy; Xu Yang had caused him to lose all face and become a clown in everyone's eyes, and today he could finally kill this animal.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

After a while, Su Zhe returned with Su Jiangong.

Su Jiangong said coldly: "Xu Yang has gone down the mountain; to be safe, you and I will strike together to ensure he can never return to the Purple Sun Sect."

"He is only at Marrow Cleansing; big brother, you don't need to strike. I can just go and slaughter him," Su Jiangong's eyes exploded with killing intent.

Although he hadn't reached Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing, he was only one step away.

If he were to kill Xu Yang, he was confident he could do it in less than twenty moves.

For his big brother, who was at Minor Success of Marrow Cleansing, to also strike, it was giving Xu Yang too much credit.

"Don't be arrogant; this matter cannot have the slightest flaw, otherwise my Su family will be doomed forever."

Saying this, greed appeared in Su Jiangong's eyes: "And it's not just about killing him; my Su family also wants the technique he has for cultivating Jin Gang Qi.

It's enough for you to kill him, but if you want to capture him alive, you're still lacking."

Among the many families in Qingyang City, those with the foundation to possess techniques for cultivating exotic Gang Qi were few and far between.

If the Su family could interrogate Xu Yang and get the technique, they would possess the same foundation as those top-tier families; once new alchemists were cultivated, the Su family might not be unable to ascend to become a top-tier family in Qingyang City in the future.

"Big brother, you are still the thoughtful one; why didn't I think of capturing him alive to interrogate him for the technique to cultivate Jin Gang Qi," Su Jiangong flattered, greed also flashing in his eyes.

The Su family was just lacking such a foundation!

"Enough nonsense, change your clothes and let's go."

Su Jiangong threw a set of clothes to Su Jiangong.

"Dad, I want to go too; he bullied me so much, I want to torture him with my own hands." Seeing that there was no share for him, Su Zhe hurriedly spoke up.

How could he be missing from something like torturing Xu Yang?

He wanted to see with his own eyes Xu Yang being tortured until he wished he were dead, and then obediently hand over the technique for cultivating Jin Gang Qi before being killed; only then could he resolve the hatred in his heart.

"Very well, you go change your clothes too!"

Looking at the venomous look on Su Zhe's face, Su Jiangong knew that only by letting his son kill Xu Yang with his own hands could he resolve his inner knot, otherwise it would be detrimental to his martial arts.

Su Zhe was overjoyed and added: "Dad, should we call my sister? She also hates Xu Yang to the bone; let her also go and torture Xu Yang with her own hands."

Su Jiangong snorted coldly: "Calling so many people, are you afraid others won't know what we are doing? Do you want to call everyone in the Su family?"

Su Zhe didn't dare to say anything more; he immediately changed his clothes to cover his face, and the three left from the back door of the Su family.
