Chapter 450

Xu Yang's gaze sharpened; he had finally encountered something he could recognize: a hundred-year-old blood ginseng!

At the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction, he had seen a fifty-year-old blood ginseng, but that ginseng only had faint wisps of blood color.

However, the blood ginseng before his eyes was entirely blood-red and emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Like the lotus root from before, just by smelling a bit of its aura, his Qi and blood were faintly stirring.

"A hundred-year-old blood ginseng should count as a spirit herb. This thing is highly nourishing for Qi and blood and has the miraculous effect of prolonging life. It is said that as long as there is a breath left, a single slice can sustain a life for several days."

The smile on Xu Yang's face grew even richer as he opened the last box. What met his eyes was a finger-long item that looked like a rhizome; he could not recognize exactly what it was.

It also emitted a refreshing fragrance, and in an instant, his Qi and blood surged; the reaction was even greater than that of the lotus root and blood ginseng from before.

"Good stuff!"

Although he couldn't recognize it, that didn't stop him from knowing it was a good item.

After finishing the inventory and putting all the jade boxes away again, Xu Yang was beaming with joy.

Although he hadn't emptied the Su family's treasury, the good things should mostly be here with him.

In that treasury, the most abundant items were gold, silver, and jewelry; the things in his hands could be exchanged for gold, silver, and jewelry, but gold, silver, and jewelry could not buy the things in his hands.

There were also two half-spiritual weapons, worth at least twenty to thirty thousand taels.

It was just that these items were stolen goods, making them difficult to sell, and he dared not use them blatantly.

"Just keep the blade well hidden; when Xu Qing's Gang Qi reaches Major Success, I will give the sword to her."

He didn't intend to sell them for the time being; it was perfect for the brother and sister to have one each.

By the time Xu Qing's Gang Qi reached Major Success, the Su family would likely have been swallowed up by others.

He would use the blade himself, only using it when absolutely necessary; if it truly came to a dangerous moment, he wouldn't care about exposure.

Wrapping the blade and sword in cloth and swallowing a Qi Gathering Pill, he began to close his eyes and cultivate.

As the sky gradually brightened and sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto his body, Xu Yang opened his eyes from his meditation. The first thing he did was look at the panel, only to see that the panel had popped up many notifications.

【Killed Su Zhe, points +1】

【Killed Su Jiangong, points +5】

【Killed Su Jianye, points +20】

【Killed Su Man, points +3】

【Killed Su Xiuyuan, points +20】

【Obtained half-spiritual weapon Cold Abyss, points +50】

【Obtained half-spiritual weapon Star Ray, points +30】

Only then did he know that Su Xiuyuan's half-spiritual weapon was called Star Ray. Perhaps because he didn't intend to use Star Ray, the point reward he received was not as high as that for Cold Abyss.

He continued to look:

【Obtained spirit iron Silver Essence, points +10】

Xu Yang's eyes lit up. He remembered that when he obtained that piece of spirit iron from Wu Nanshan, the panel only gave a reward of three points.

This spirit iron called Silver Essence gave so many points, it must be even more precious.

"It should be that silver spirit iron; so it's called Silver Essence."

【Obtained spirit iron Red Gold Essence, points +12】

【Obtained spirit iron Black Gold, points +10】

【Obtained spirit iron Fish-Pattern Steel, points +20】

【Obtained spirit herb Crystal Lotus Root, points +15】

【Obtained spirit herb hundred-year-old blood ginseng, points +15】

【Obtained spirit herb Dragon Whisker Root, points +25】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 1307】

It exploded directly; Xu Yang's mouth almost split from smiling. He had never seen so many notifications at once.

Not to mention the treasures obtained, just the point rewards given by the panel alone, he roughly estimated to be over two hundred.

If he had to accumulate them himself, it would take three or four months to accumulate so many points. This harvest was the largest he had ever had in his history.

It was all spirit iron and spirit herbs!

He identified these spirit irons and spirit herbs according to the prompts given by the panel, remembered their names, and only then shouldered the items and returned to the Profound Sun Sect at a leisurely pace.

No one knew what he had done!

After eating at the canteen, having not slept for several days and nights, he returned to his room and fell straight asleep.

At the same time, in Qingyang City, the events that happened at the Su family last night had already spread, and the whole city was in an uproar.

The Blazing Blade Guest had entered the Su family, killed the Su family's legitimate daughter Su Man, broken open the Su family's treasury gate, and snatched away a pile of treasures, including Su Jianye's half-spiritual weapon.

The Su family's last remaining old monster, Su Xiuyuan, had chased after him, only to be killed by the Blazing Blade Guest outside Qingyang City, his head stuck on a tree branch.

From beginning to end, the Su family head Su Jianye and the Su family's number two figure Su Jiangong had not appeared, and they had not appeared even now. The Su family was in a complete mess; there were rumors that Su Jianye, Su Jiangong, and the Su family young master Su Zhe had already disappeared for several days and were suspected to be dead.

Some families were already eyeing the Su family's industries, and some side branches of the Su family were also clamoring to split the family.

There were also small families clamoring for the Qingyang City law enforcers to quickly catch the Blazing Blade Guest and return peace to Qingyang City, fearing that their own families would become the next Su family.

"The Su family offered a reward of ten thousand taels to catch the Blazing Blade Guest; they were clearly retaliated against."

"This is all the disaster brought upon the Su family by that playboy Su Che."

"How could someone who could kill Su Xiuyuan be so easy to catch!"

"The Blazing Blade Guest's name and identity are unknown; no one has ever seen him, so how can he be caught?"

The Su family was finished; Su Zhe, Su Jianye, and Su Jiangong were likely already dead, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to appear when such a major event happened to the family.

Han Feng hadn't expected that upon waking up from a sleep at the Lichun Pavilion, he would hear such sensational news.

In Qingyang City, the Su family, which could almost rank among the first-class families, was on the verge of falling apart in just a few days.

And the culprit who caused all this was precisely that Blazing Blade Guest.

The Blazing Blade Guest's reputation was very large in the Profound Sun Sect because many people suspected he was a disciple of the Profound Sun Sect.

"Su Zhe actually died just like that!"

As one of the Ten Elites, he hadn't expected Su Zhe to end up in such a way.

Back then, Su Zhe was so high-spirited, challenging Xu Yang to a duel, wanting to step on all of them, the Ten Elites, to reach the top, but now he had died in such an unclear way.

"No, I must leave quickly!"

Han Feng felt a bit terrified; that beast, the Blazing Blade Guest, was rumored to specialize in robbing and killing Profound Sun Sect disciples, and many had already fallen victim. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he should quickly return to the Profound Sun Sect.

He hurriedly got up and knocked on Xiong Kun's room door.

"What are you doing?"

Xiong Kun opened the door with some displeasure.

He had wanted to go for another round, but being interrupted by Han Feng, he was naturally unhappy.

"Something happened; the Su family's experts were all killed by the Blazing Blade Guest. Let's return to the mountain quickly," Han Feng said in a low voice.

Xiong Kun was shocked: "The Su family has two Marrow Cleansing Minor Success experts; how could the Blazing Blade Guest kill them?"

Following that, he frowned and said: "If the Su family is destroyed, then so be it; we have no friendship with Su Zhe, so why are you in such a hurry to return to the mountain? Let me go for another round first; once we are admitted to the Inner Sect, it will be difficult to go down the mountain."

This guy's addiction was even greater than his own.

Han Feng said irritably: "Don't forget, the Blazing Blade Guest specializes in killing people on the road to the Profound Sun Sect. This guy is crazy; he even destroyed the Su family. Take advantage of the early hour and return to the mountain quickly.

If we go late, what if we run into him on the road..."

He didn't say the rest, but Xiong Kun's face had already changed.

He clearly also knew the fierce reputation of the Blazing Blade Guest.

Without further ado, Xiong Kun hurriedly went back to put on his clothes, and the two quickly left the Lichun Pavilion.

Once they left the city, the two discovered that many disciples who had spent the night in Qingyang City were also hurriedly returning to the Profound Sun Sect. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly gathered together.

After walking halfway, huge blade marks suddenly appeared on the road ahead, splitting the earth, along with some large pits several meters wide.

Just by looking, one knew these were the traces left by experts fighting here.

"What terrifying blade marks; judging by the severity, at the very least, martial artists of Marrow Cleansing Minor Success fought here."

Xiong Kun looked at those blade marks that were several zhang long, his expression changing slightly.

When they passed by here yesterday, it wasn't like this.

"It's the Blazing Blade Guest!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

Han Feng and the others hurriedly ran over, only to see that the soil of one blade mark looked as if it had been scorched, with some charred residue remaining.
