Chapter 563

"Junior Brother, this is too valuable!" Sun Tao was greatly astonished to see that the gift Xu Yang sent was a Qi Gathering Elixir, and he immediately refused.

Xu Yang smiled: "This is not a valuable item. Senior Brother, you haven't adapted to your identity yet. In the Inner Sect, the Qi Gathering Elixir is already nothing."

He knew that Sun Tao hadn't changed his identity yet, thinking that the Qi Gathering Elixir was still as precious as it was in the Outer Sect. Little did he know that in the Inner Sect, basically no one used the Qi Gathering Elixir for cultivation because it basically had no effect.

Of course, this was mainly because when Sun Tao was in the Outer Sect, he had to risk his life in the Yunling Mountain Range for a month to get one Qi Gathering Elixir, so he felt the Qi Gathering Elixir was precious.

Hearing this, Sun Tao then accepted it!

Closing the courtyard door, the two went down Fire Peak. When they arrived at the reserved restaurant, Qiu Wenjie, Tian Li, Zhang Yong, and Xu Qing had all arrived.

Xu Qing stood up happily and pulled Xu Yang to sit beside her.

Xu Yang's gaze swept over, finding that Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li hadn't changed much, still at the Minor Success Realm of Gang Qi. On Zhang Yong's face, however, there was a bit more spirit than before.

The food and wine were soon served, and everyone ate for more than an hour before dispersing.

On the way back to Fire Peak, Xu Yang learned from Sun Tao's mouth that Zhang Yong seemed to have some talent in strange beasts and was now doing well at Beast King Peak.

Although not as dazzling as Lu Ren, he was not an dispensable existence and had a small reputation at Beast King Peak.

The next day, Xu Yang was practicing the Immovable King Body when the courtyard door was knocked.

He stood up, pushed open the door, and saw Hong Lei and a man with a full face of smiles standing in front of the door.

"Presumably this must be Junior Brother Xu?" The man spoke first, looking at Xu Yang with a gentle face.

Hong Lei hurriedly reminded: "Junior Brother Xu, this is our Second Senior Brother Tian Kuan. Why don't you hurry and invite Second Senior Brother in."

Xu Yang then knew that this person was Elder Huoyun's second disciple, Tian Kuan. He had always known there was such a person but had never seen him. It was said that he had been stationed outside for many years.

"So it is Second Senior Brother's grand arrival. Please come in!" Xu Yang smiled and invited Tian Kuan and Hong Lei into the courtyard, pouring tea.

Tian Kuan and Hong Lei smiled and sat down.

"I heard long ago that Master had taken in a genius disciple. Seeing it today, Junior Brother Xu is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, with an extraordinary bearing." Tian Kuan smiled.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Second Senior Brother is overpraising. How can I be a dragon and phoenix among men? I just happened to have some talent."

He secretly became vigilant in his heart. Flattering him as soon as they met must mean there was some scheme.

Logically speaking, Tian Kuan was the Second Senior Brother. Since he had finally returned, it should have been his turn to visit. But Tian Kuan had taken the initiative to come to his door. All signs were very wrong.

Sure enough, after some pleasantries, Tian Kuan stated his purpose for coming here.

"Senior Brother, I discovered a spiritual herb in the Yunling Mountain Range, but the strange beast guarding it is too powerful, and I cannot deal with it. I heard that Junior Brother, you even killed the monitor lizard at Moon Lake, so I specifically came to invite Junior Brother to come out of the mountain and help Senior Brother with a hand!" Tian Kuan cupped his hands.

Asking him to help kill a strange beast with empty words, his face was also too big.

Even those disciples in the Outer Sect would take out benefits when asking for help. Even if they were fellow disciples under the same Master, this was also considered thick-skinned.

And if Xu Yang remembered correctly, when he reached Minor Success in Marrow Cleansing and was taken in as an inner disciple by Elder Huoyun, the inner disciples under Elder Huoyun, even Gao Lin, had sent a congratulatory gift. Some people who were not in the Profound Heaven Sect also entrusted people to send congratulatory gifts.

Even the Blood Lotus Sect mole Guan Du had expressed something. The only one who had no expression was this Second Senior Brother Tian Kuan.

"Cupped hands, Junior Brother just returned from Moon Lake and is planning to close his door for a period of time. I cannot go out for the time being. I hope Second Senior Brother will understand." Xu Yang smiled and refused.

Not to mention that Tian Kuan's invitation had no reward at all, even if there was, he wouldn't be interested.

As soon as these words came out, Tian Kuan's smile suddenly froze on his face. He never expected that Xu Yang wouldn't even help with such a small favor. Just joining hands to kill a strange beast, did he still want him to share half of the spiritual herb with him?

Hong Lei frowned and said: "Junior Brother Xu, going into the mountain with Second Senior Brother will only take ten days or half a month. It won't delay you much time."

Xu Yang was almost angered to laughter. Ten days or half a month is not time?

In your ten days or half a month, your cultivation will only stand still. In my ten days or half a month, my cultivation is enough to improve a lot.

Of course, the main thing is that he hates this kind of person who has no friendship and just wants to take advantage. Does he think he is that kind of young person who can't save face and won't refuse? Because of the word fellow disciple, he would pick up a knife to help fight for his life.

It can only be said that no matter if it was Hong Lei or Tian Kuan, they had misjudged the person.

For things he doesn't want to do, let alone just Tian Kuan, even Gao Lin wouldn't be given face.

"Senior Brother Hong should know that I applied to return from Moon Lake because my cultivation reached a critical moment. Although ten days or half a month is not a long time, it is something I cannot afford to delay." Xu Yang said.

He still didn't turn his face, not wanting to make things too stiff.

If the refusal was so obvious and Tian Kuan and Hong Lei still pestered him, then don't blame him for not giving face.

Tian Kuan was also a person who changed his face very quickly. He immediately restored his smile and said: "Since Junior Brother Xu has no time, Senior Brother won't force it. But I heard that Master gave Red Blood to Junior Brother Xu. I wonder if you can lend Red Blood to Senior Brother for use?

If there is Red Blood, even if Junior Brother Xu doesn't make a move, we can also solve that beast."

Xu Yang suddenly realized. So it was because he thought he could kill the monitor lizard at Moon Lake because of the power of the half-spiritual weapon Red Blood.

As Elder Huoyun's weapon when he was young, after Elder Huoyun's weapon forging technique reached Major Success, he re-forged it. Its power could be said to be top-notch among half-spiritual weapons, and it was indeed a powerful half-spiritual weapon.

But he could kill the monitor lizard, not because of Red Blood.

"Sorry, Red Blood was given by Master. I don't use it normally. Junior Brother treats it like a pilgrimage and doesn't dare to blaspheme it. If Second Senior Brother wants to borrow it, please forgive Junior Brother for not having the courage to lend Red Blood out. Or you can go find Master. If Master allows it, Junior Brother will have no second words." Xu Yang said solemnly.

Borrow Red Blood?

In case Tian Kuan dies in the Yunling Mountain Range, not to mention losing the half-spiritual weapon, it would also be difficult to explain to Elder Huoyun.

Tian Kuan's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect Xu Yang to be impervious to oil and salt. Not helping was one thing, but he wouldn't even lend a weapon, and he even brought out Elder Huoyun.

If he could talk to Elder Huoyun, he wouldn't need to come and beg Xu Yang.

"Junior Brother Xu, you… between us fellow disciples, we should be united. It's just borrowing a knife." Hong Lei shook his head and said.

Xu Yang didn't know if he was stupid or naive, and immediately said: "Does Senior Brother Hong think I should lend the knife? If an accident occurs, how can I explain it to Master?

This is not an ordinary weapon, but Master's weapon when he was young. You take it so lightly, or are you saying you don't take Master seriously?"

A big hat of not respecting Master was put on, Hong Lei's face changed wildly, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "This disciple doesn't dare."

Tian Kuan's face was livid, and he said: "Since Junior Brother Xu is not convenient to make a move, we will take our leave."

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Yang to finish, he stood up and strode away.

He didn't expect Xu Yang to be so difficult to deal with, not letting him take any advantage, like an old loach, slippery and greasy.

He originally thought that with his identity as Second Senior Brother, asking Xu Yang to do something, Xu Yang, a young man, would definitely not be able to save face and wouldn't refuse. Who would have thought that Xu Yang didn't care about his identity as Second Senior Brother at all.

"Want to take advantage of me?"

Xu Yang stood up, closed the courtyard door, and continued to cultivate.

The matter of Tian Kuan and Hong Lei was just a small interlude for him, and he soon forgot it.

The sun and moon alternated. In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since Xu Yang returned to the Profound Heaven Sect from Moon Lake. Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang, who were impacting the Marrow Cleansing Major Success Realm, had no news yet. It was heard that Du Chuan had also begun to impact the Marrow Cleansing Major Success Realm.

……

The Song family was full of mourning. Another month had passed, and they had confirmed that Song Wenshan, Song Shizhao, and others had been murdered.

Three months, it was impossible for Song Wenshan and others to still be chasing the Four Evils of Wushan. If they were still alive, they would definitely have sent news back to report they were safe.

The experts the Song family sent out to search gradually returned. Until the last batch of people returned, there was no news of Song Wenshan and others. The Song family no longer had any luck, and there was crying everywhere.

"Four Evils of Wushan, my Song family and you are irreconcilable!" Great Elder Song Shixian's eyes were about to split.

This time, even if the Song family had Heavenly Origin powerhouses, it was a blow to their vitality. Five Marrow Cleansing Major Success died, two Marrow Cleansing Minor Success died, and five half-spiritual weapons were lost.

Every number was like a knife inserted into his chest, making his expression twist in pain.

If it spread out, it would also be a blow to the Song family's prestige.

"And Xu Yang, it's all this little beast. If it weren't for his standing by and watching, how could there be so many things." Song Shirong's eyes were red, almost spraying fire.

His favorite third son, and his eldest son who was to succeed as head of the family, died one after another. His killing intent could no longer be controlled.

He hated the Four Evils of Wushan, and even more hated Xu Yang.

If it weren't for Xu Yang standing by and watching, there wouldn't be so many things.

The main thing is that now he couldn't find the Four Evils of Wushan at all, so his killing intent could only be vented on Xu Yang, whom he could find.

"Yes, and this little beast, the one who deserves to die the most is him."

Great Elder Song Shixian gritted his teeth, because the dead Song Shizhao was his own younger brother. He said coldly: "Immediately pass the order to the clansmen in the Profound Heaven Sect, let them watch this little beast Xu Yang. Once he leaves the Profound Heaven Sect, the old man wants to kill him with his own hands."

The death of Song Wenshan and others made him lose his mind somewhat. He just wanted to kill Xu Yang, regardless of Xu Yang's identity as a Ten Elites disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Song family had many disciples in the Profound Heaven Sect. If they really let everyone know they wanted to kill Xu Yang, things would definitely not be hidden. Once something happened to Xu Yang, the Song family would also have trouble.

Fortunately, although Patriarch Song Shirong was also angry, his reason was still there, saying: "This matter cannot be publicized, I will personally arrange for people to watch him closely."

Song Shixian's chest heaved, suppressing his killing intent: "The old man wants to personally make a move to kill this beast."

In fact, he couldn't do it without making a move himself. Song Wenshan, Song Shirong, and these young generation Marrow Cleansing Major Success were all dead. If an old guy like him didn't make a move, no one in the Song family could kill Xu Yang.

It's just that they waited and waited, and waited for another month, Xu Yang didn't have the slightest intention of leaving the Profound Heaven Sect.

……

Xu Yang didn't know about the Song family sending people to watch him. He cultivated step by step every day, occasionally accompanying Xu Qing to the Outer Sect, and his life was quite comfortable.

This day, just as he stepped into the dining hall, he heard a shocking piece of news: Young Marquis Jiang Fan had broken through to Marrow Cleansing Major Success.

"Young Marquis is worthy of being Young Marquis, once again walking in front of Li Chuyang."

"The talent is truly terrifying, worthy of being the first of the Ten Elites. It took more than two months to break through the Marrow Cleansing Major Success bottleneck. It took me five years to break through the bottleneck."

"A person as conceited as Li Chuyang, being compared down by the Young Marquis again, I'm afraid he can't stand it."
