Chapter 498

The shock on his face had not yet faded.

Hearing the news of Xu Yang reaching Marrow Cleansing Minor Success, he hurried back to the family to report the news and was still in shock to this day.

The person who was rejected by the Ding family just because he refused to marry into the family actually broke through to Marrow Cleansing Minor Success only a few days later than the Du family genius Du Chuan.

Ding Yuan was heartbroken: "What else can we do? Do you want me to go and apologize to him in person? Just prepare a gift and send it over."

Ding Xu bowed and turned to leave.

"I have ruined the Yuan family!"

Yuan Qiang was so depressed he almost vomited blood. If one had to say who was the last to retreat among everyone, it could only be him.

Such a genius, he once recruited with two hundred taels of silver and one Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill. Such talent, such a price, can be said to be no different from dismissing a beggar.

But he was still not satisfied and wanted to marry into the family, truly turning the other party into a member of the Yuan family, eventually parting ways.

Before, he felt that Xu Yang didn't know what was good for him, but now if he said it out, people would only call him an idiot.

"He reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Success?"

At Beast King Peak, when Cao Jin heard the junior brothers who returned say that Xu Yang had already reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Success, he only felt his scalp was about to explode.

Reaching Marrow Cleansing Minor Success after more than three years of entering the sect, such talent made him terrified. The so-called status of a Cao family disciple was worth nothing in front of such talent.

He spent three years in the outer sect and five years in the inner sect, adding up to eight years, and now he is still grinding at the bottleneck of Marrow Cleansing Minor Success.

The most important thing is that he had threatened Xu Yang, threatened a genius who reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Success in three years.

For a moment, Cao Jin even had the urge to flee the Profound Heaven Sect, find a place to hide, and never show his face again.

"Is this what you said about Xu Yang having no talent?"

At Medicine King Peak, Elder Changchun glared fiercely at his disciple Sun Jian.

Reaching Marrow Cleansing Minor Success in three years of entering the sect, he had never received such a talented disciple either. Originally, he had the intention to take Xu Yang in, but after Sun Jian's analysis, he gave up on Xu Yang.

Not only did he miss a genius, but he would also become a laughingstock for those old things, laughing at him for being blind and having eyes but failing to recognize a treasure.

Such a genius, even if he didn't have any alchemy talent, he would be willing to take him in and cultivate him with resources.

"Master, he hid too deep, disciple's judgment was wrong, please punish me, Master." Sun Jian kept his head very low.

He wasn't targeting Xu Yang back then either; he was purely analyzing according to the information he knew, and Master also approved.

Now that Xu Yang has shown amazing talent, Master is blaming him instead.

He actually regretted it a bit too. Xu Yang hadn't entered the sect for long when he met him, but he didn't take Xu Yang seriously, and when they met, he would tease him a few times for overestimating himself.

If he had known Xu Yang had such talent, he would have said a few good words for Xu Yang in front of Master back then, letting Master take Xu Yang into his sect. Now Master would praise him for having a good eye, and Xu Yang would also thank him.

Now, he is not pleasing on either side.

"Forget it, what's the use of punishing you? It's a bargain for that old thing Huoyun." Elder Changchun shook his head.

Things he decided himself, he was just venting a few words; how could he have the heart to really punish Sun Jian.

Sun Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, Xu Yang has a younger sister in the outer sect, who is currently managing medicinal herbs in the medicine garden. She has applied several times to learn alchemy but was rejected. Should we give Xu Yang and Elder Huoyun some face?"

Before, he knew Xu Qing was Xu Yang's sister, but he didn't pay attention to it. Now that Xu Yang has reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Success and shown extraordinary talent, he also wants to be accommodating.

Xu Yang now doesn't count for much, but what about in ten or eight years? If you really wait until people become big figures to curry favor, they won't even look at you straight.

"Own sister?" Elder Changchun said.

Sun Jian nodded.

"You go handle it now, and pay more attention to her in the future, give some convenience. If her alchemy talent is okay, report it to me in time," Elder Changchun instructed.

"Yes!"

Sun Jian bowed and hurried away.

"Only the last one hundred plants left, today's task will be finished."

In a medicine garden, Xu Qing was delivering Green Wood Qi to the medicinal herbs one by one, which was the Green Wood Gang Qi she had cultivated herself.

Only after being converted by a special cultivation method, the Gang Qi was no longer overbearing, but became gentle, which could make the medicinal herbs grow better.

Of course, cultivating spiritual herbs is not just about using means, but also requires coordination with other things.

The work of cultivating spiritual herbs is very bitter. Most of the Gang Qi cultivated every day has to be fed to the medicinal herbs, but she has never complained to Xu Yang.

Her brother has raised her to this point, which is already not easy. She cannot add trouble to her brother because of a little bit of bitterness.

"Xu Qing, how much more do you have to finish?" A woman's voice sounded not far away.

Xu Qing looked back and found it was Senior Sister Zhang Juan, who was also cultivating spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, and said: "Senior Sister Zhang, one hundred plants left."

"You come over first and help me finish these of mine, then you can slowly do yours. I have something to do today and need to leave early," Zhang Juan said.

She actually didn't have anything to do, she just wanted to be lazy.

The female disciples who could do tasks at Medicine King Peak were all those with significant family influence, and they had been in contact with medicinal herbs since childhood, so they could be selected to cultivate and look after the medicinal herbs.

Xu Qing had no background, so she would order Xu Qing to help her do things every few days to be lazy.

Xu Qing had a soft personality and also knew she couldn't afford to offend her, so basically, as long as she spoke, she would grit her teeth and come to help her do things.

"What? You don't want to help Senior Sister?" Seeing that Xu Qing didn't walk over immediately this time, Zhang Juan's tone suddenly became somewhat unkind.

"Senior Sister Zhang, I have something to do today, I will help you next time," Xu Qing gritted her teeth and said.

She hadn't seen her elder brother Xu Yang for more than a month, especially since she heard these few days that he had left the sect and was sent by the sect to kill the Blood Lotus Sect demon, she was even more worried. She planned to finish her work early today and then go to Fire Peak to inquire about the situation.
