He’s cautious and prudent, keeps a low profile, and has no background or connections. If we try to recruit him, there’s a high chance of success.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shopkeeper said, \"His temperament seems very steady, but his Cultivation is a bit low. Let’s observe him a little longer. We’ll make real contact once he achieves Gang Qi Great Success. We can show him some goodwill occasionally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant clasped his hands. \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Sun Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the incident at the Hundred Medicine Hall happened at night, quite a few people knew about it, and now, word was finally spreading among the Outer Disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Xu heard about it, he quickly rushed to Kong Yu’s courtyard and knocked on his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Xu Yang back?\" Kong Yu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been thinking about it lately. In the entire Purple Sun Sect, Ji Jincheng only had one enemy: Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the deaths of Ji Jincheng and Han Xing weren’t an accident, then it was highly likely Xu Yang was responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was just a suspicion. He didn’t believe Xu Yang had the ability to kill both Han Xing and Ji Jincheng at the same time, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Yang hadn’t returned to the Purple Sun Sect recently, so Kong Yu couldn’t find him even though he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xu shook his head. \"No. I received news that the Hundred Medicine Hall, which Xu Yang and Lu Ren were assigned to garrison, had an incident a few days ago. A master broke into the storehouse to steal Spirit Medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Lu Ren, Gu Haoming, and the others were all injured and even had their contribution points deducted for failing to defend the post. Only Xu Yang managed to kill a Gang Qi master, earning a commendation and a reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Yu shot to his feet, a murderous glint in his eyes. \"You’re saying Xu Yang has the strength to kill a Qi Cultivation Gang master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Yang really had the strength to kill a Gang Qi master, then there was a very real possibility he was connected to the deaths of Han Xing and Ji Jincheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xu nodded. \"According to the reports, the Liu San he killed did indeed have Gang Qi Cultivation. But the timeline doesn’t add up. Xu Yang only broke through a short while ago, while Junior Brother Ji Jincheng and Han Xing were killed over two months ago. Back then, Xu Yang was still in the Qi Gathering Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother, you need to calm down. I’m not trying to make excuses for Xu Yang; I just don’t want us to miss the real killer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a Gang Qi master while in the Qi Gathering realm—such a thing was unheard of, even in a place like the Purple Sun Sect that gathered so many geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Yu nodded. \"But he must die. Before he died, Senior Brother Ji Jincheng’s greatest wish was to kill him to avenge Senior Brother Zhu Yang. I will see that this wish is fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep an eye on his whereabouts for me. Tell me as soon as he returns to the Purple Sun Sect. It’s time to end this feud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xu’s brow furrowed deeply. \"Junior Brother Kong, Xu Yang has already achieved Qi Cultivation Gang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was reminding him that if he failed to kill Xu Yang, the crime of ambushing a fellow sect member was punishable by death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Kong Yu was a genius with a Lower A-class Root Bone and had the favor of a senior brother from the Heroic Assembly’s Inner Sect, if he were exposed, he would face severe punishment, if not death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Yu turned his palm over, saying confidently, \"Senior Brother, you don’t need to worry. At the same realm, killing him will be as easy as flipping my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang found a random inn to stay in. After closing the door to his room, he took out an Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill and swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He circulated the Golden Gang Skill, and a faint silver light emerged. The Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill dissolved into a scorching current that swept through him. Xu Yang immediately felt as if he were in a furnace, every inch of his flesh and blood seeming to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eight-Treasure Body-Strengthening Pill could increase one’s qi and blood and temper the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When combined with the Golden Gang Skill, the effects were even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s skin gradually turned crimson, concealing the faint silver light. As his Gang Qi surged, his bones, sinews, and flesh all began to hum and tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, he was drenched in sweat, and hot steam rose from his body, making him look like a human steamer in the middle of winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang withdrew his skill, and the crimson color on his skin slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does this Golden Gang Skill require me to cultivate golden Gang Qi?’ Xu Yang wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been nearly two months since he had first formed his Gang Qi, but he discovered that it was constantly changing. In the beginning, his Gang Qi had been pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after two months of cultivation, the color of his Gang Qi had grown paler and paler, becoming almost white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he guessed that the highest realm of the Golden Gang Skill was probably to cultivate golden Gang Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s such a pain not having a master to teach me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had a master, he wouldn’t be so clueless about everything. But in the Purple Sun Sect, only after entering one of the Four Peaks and becoming an Inner Sect Disciple would one receive guidance from a master. No one taught basic Martial Dao knowledge otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea how precious a Martial Art that could cultivate golden Gang Qi was, and he still hadn’t been able to find any information about the Golden Gang Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll just have to show my Gang Qi to others as little as possible in the future, to avoid trouble.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Seven days later」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion with all his belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main entrance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was already closed. A side door had been opened, with several of the pavilion’s guards standing watch. People were entering one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang walked up. The attendant he was familiar with, a young man named Zhou Yong, clasped his hands and said, \"Master Xu, please follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang clasped his hands in return. \"Sorry to trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong seemed flattered, saying, \"You’re too kind, Master Xu. This is what I’m supposed to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them was a passageway, a little over two meters wide and more than three meters long, lit by oil lamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang followed Zhou Yong through the passageway. After turning a corner, a vast hall appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was filled with chairs, and many of them were already occupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, many eyes turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s gaze swept across the room. He saw quite a few familiar faces. Even if he didn’t know their names, he had seen many of them around the Purple Sun Sect before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides those faces he recognized but couldn’t name, he also spotted Lu Ren, Shi Yong, Ma Jun, and Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-06T05:15:18.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca23df4fadebd98715565dd0d46e521075912e323ccc73aa6b90808c89cac7b6","martial-sage-from-the-vajra-skill-chapter-159","martial-sage-from-the-vajra-skill-chapter-157",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmartial-sage-from-the-vajra-skill-cover.jpg"]
