Chapter 555

He wanted to throw it away directly, but he was a bit reluctant.

The quality of Yan Guiyun's half-spiritual weapon was very good, and it should have come from the hands of some elder of the Departing Fire Peak, worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Not throwing it away, it was useless for him to hold it. Even if he took it to sell, even if someone dared to want it, he wouldn't dare to sell it. A disciple of the Sect Master, the third genius of the Ten Elites, even if Yan Guiyun took the initiative to kill him, he wouldn't dare to expose that he killed Yan Guiyun.

After all, the person was already dead, and there was no proof.

Even if someone believed him, the family supporting Yan Guiyun, and his master, Sect Master Zhang Jingyuan, would they not take revenge just because Yan Guiyun took the initiative to kill him?

If everyone were so reasonable, this world wouldn't be so chaotic, with fellow disciples killing each other.

In fact, not only Yan Guiyun's half-spiritual weapon, but the weapons of Song Wenshan, Song Wenxuan, and these people couldn't be sold, as it was very likely they would be traced back to him.

Among the half-spiritual weapons in his hand, the only ones that could be sold were Guan Du's and Li Haoran's. Selling the others might bring him trouble.

But so many half-spiritual weapons, adding up to a value of seventy or eighty thousand taels, were his largest fortune, and it was a pity to throw them away directly.

"Let's collect them first. When my weapon-forging skills are proficient, I'll see if I can modify them and change their original appearance."

"However, these weapons cannot be brought back to the Profound Heaven Sect!"

Re-lifting the bundle and lifting Yan Guiyun's corpse, Xu Yang rushed into the mountain forest to dispose of the body.

A day later, he appeared near the Profound Heaven Sect, found a secret place to hide most of the half-spiritual weapons, and only entered the Profound Heaven Sect with Guan Du's half-spiritual weapon and Li Haoran's half-spiritual weapon.

"Senior Brother Xu!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!"

Passing through the outer sect all the way, many disciples greeted Xu Yang, and he responded one by one.

Soon he went up to the Departing Fire Peak. He first put his luggage back in the courtyard before rushing to Elder Huoyun's main hall.

"Disciple Xu Yang, requests an audience with the Master." He bowed outside the hall.

"Come in!" Elder Huoyun's loud voice came from inside.

Running the Breath-Restraining Technique to the extreme and tidying his clothes, he stepped into the main hall and bowed, "Disciple pays respects to the Master."

On the gilded chair, Elder Huoyun raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze fixed on the book in his hand: "No need to come and pay respects specially when you return in the future. If there's nothing, go down."

"Disciple is here to thank the Master." Xu Yang said.

Without Elder Huoyun's support, Liu Qingyuan and Song Yushao would have already taken action against him.

Hearing this, Elder Huoyun snorted, "If you want to thank me, do fewer absurd things to anger me."

Apparently, he was still brooding over Xu Yang spending more than a thousand contribution points to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula.

Xu Yang was somewhat speechless. Why wasn't this matter over yet? "Disciple will strictly follow the Master's teachings."

Elder Huoyun then waved his hand with satisfaction: "You have been traveling for days, go down, settle down well. There are only two and a half years left until the second dragon ascent, and you don't have much time."

It was a bit difficult for Xu Yang to reach the Heavenly Origin Realm within two and a half years.

But if he didn't compete this time, Xu Yang would pass the age by the next time, and even if his talent were enough, he wouldn't be able to get on the stage of the dragon ascent. This was also the reason why he hardened his heart to force Xu Yang.

"Disciple will definitely do his best and not fail the Master's expectations."

Xu Yang nodded seriously before exiting Elder Huoyun's main hall.

After gnawing on dried meat for several days, he went straight to the cafeteria. Along the way, many people greeted him, their tone carrying a kind of awe.

Xu Yang thought about it slightly and soon understood the reason for this change.

He used to only have talent, and his cultivation at the Minor Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing didn't count for much to some inner sect disciples.

But he had been at Moon Lake for four months, not only killing Luo Xin and the others but also killing Guan Du, who was at the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing. The change in strength was the reason why these people were in awe of him.

"Junior Brother Xu, here!"

Just after getting his meal, he heard Zhu Yuan's voice.

Xu Yang smiled and walked over, seeing Zhu Yuan, Hong Lei, and several others who were also Elder Huoyun's disciples sitting together eating.

"Greetings, Senior Brothers!" Xu Yang sat down with a smile.

Several people greeted him and continued to bury their heads in eating, and he also buried his head in eating.

"I just heard the news that Yan Guiyun failed to break through to the Heavenly Origin after being in seclusion for several months. It is said that he has already left the sect to go to the Yunling Mountain Range to temper himself."

Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked over subconsciously.

Heavenly Origin, Yan Guiyun—these two words appearing together, no one would not be curious.

"The Heavenly Origin is too difficult. Even a genius like Yan Guiyun couldn't break through after being in seclusion for several months."

"What do you think the Heavenly Origin Realm is? Let alone Yan Guiyun, even Young Master Hou and Li Chuyang might not be able to break through in a few months."

"Yan Guiyun entering the Yunling Mountain Range this time seems to be determined. When he comes back, I'm afraid he will be at the Heavenly Origin. In two years, my Profound Heaven Sect will have another genius for the second dragon ascent."

He won't be able to come back!

Xu Yang thought to himself. He had disposed of Yan Guiyun's body in the mountains, and by now, Yan Guiyun's corpse had likely been eaten clean by wild beasts.

"I heard that Li Chuyang and Young Master Hou have already started to break through to the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing. The talent of these two is really terrifying." Suddenly someone said.

As soon as this was said, it aroused curiosity among everyone present.

These two had actually started to break through to the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing. These geniuses who had hopes of a second dragon ascent were all starting to exert their strength.

"What about Du Chuan? Du Chuan was once as famous as Young Master Hou and Li Chuyang. Has he also started to break through to the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing?" Someone asked.

These three had once competed on the same stage, and their talent could be said to be evenly matched. Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang had both started to break through the bottleneck of the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing, so Du Chuan should be about the same.

"I haven't heard about Du Chuan; he should still be a bit short." That person said.

"Junior Brother Xu, your talent is not much worse than Li Chuyang and Young Master Hou. What about you? How much longer until you reach the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing?" Suddenly someone looked at Xu Yang, and the large cafeteria fell silent.

Xiong Kun held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, fearing that Xu Yang would say something like "I have also started to break through the bottleneck of the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing."

Xu Yang laughed, "How can I compare with Young Master Hou and the others? I still have a long way to go before I reach the bottleneck of the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing."

Xiong Kun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Young Master Hou and Li Chuyang both have backgrounds and don't lack resources. How could Xu Yang keep up with them?"

Speaking of this, he laughed, "Brother Xu, if you hadn't wasted so many contribution points to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula, you might have been able to keep up with Young Master Hou and Li Chuyang. It was truly unwise."

This guy is really poking at a sore spot.

As everyone knew, Xu Yang not only did something stupid but was also punished by Elder Huoyun to guard Moon Lake for four months, and only returned today.

Xu Yang looked at Xiong Kun calmly, "If you were still on the Ten Elites List, you might have already reached the Minor Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing by now. It's truly a pity."

It's just revealing shortcomings; who can't do that?

"You..." Xiong Kun's face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver, and he was not lightly angered.

Now that Han Feng and Lu Ren had both started to break through the bottleneck of the Minor Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing, because he lost the resource rewards of the Ten Elites List, the distance between him and these two was getting wider and wider. He was extremely hateful toward Xu Yang, who had squeezed him off the Ten Elites List, which was why he was being sarcastic toward Xu Yang here.

He never expected Xu Yang not to give him any face and mention again that he had been squeezed off the Ten Elites List.

In the cafeteria, everyone was holding back laughter, not daring to laugh out loud for the sake of Xiong Kun's face.

Xu Yang, the fifth on the Ten Elites List, dared to mock Xiong Kun, but they didn't dare. Although Xiong Kun had been squeezed off, he was still a genius who had once been on the list, and not everyone dared to mock him.

Just as the atmosphere was strange and Xiong Kun was embarrassed, a figure ran into the cafeteria urgently and said in a shocking voice, "Lu Ren... Lu Ren has forged a half-spiritual weapon."

As soon as this was said, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears, shaking their hearts.

Half-spiritual weapon!

Except for some clan leaders of medium-sized families who could possess half-spiritual weapons at the Minor Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing, weapons of this level were basically exclusive to experts at the Major Success Realm of Marrow Cleansing. As long as it was a half-spiritual weapon, no matter how poor the quality, it could sell for at least four or five thousand taels of silver, and better ones could sell for seven or eight thousand taels each.

With weapon-forging skills reaching this point, both fame and fortune were within reach.

Everyone looked shocked. They all knew that Lu Ren's weapon-forging talent was astonishing, and he, who originally no one cared about, was accepted as an inner disciple by Elder Tie Fu because of this. But they didn't expect Lu Ren's weapon-forging talent to be this good.

Elder Tie Fu asserted that he could forge a half-spiritual weapon within a year. He didn't expect that in just seven or eight months, Lu Ren had already forged a half-spiritual weapon. His talent was shockingly strong.

Let alone seven or eight months, most disciples of the Departing Fire Peak learning weapon-forging skills would be considered okay if they could forge a half-spiritual weapon within seven or eight years, and more people might not be able to forge a half-spiritual weapon in their whole lives.

"This talent is truly strong!" Hong Lei sighed.

He had also cultivated weapon-forging skills, but after wasting thousands of taels of silver, he gave up. ===== CHAPTER 556 =====
