Chapter 209: Chapter 207: The Bai Family’s Sincerity

Cousin?

Xu Yang stared at Yun Kaiyang with a strange expression.

“She’s really beautiful!” Yun Kaiyang thought Xu Yang didn’t believe him, and hastily added.

“Get the hell out of here!”

“Even the young master isn’t interested in the Bai Family’s first daughter, what makes you think your cousin stands a chance?”

Zhang Hong glared at Yun Kaiyang, sneering coldly.

Yun Kaiyang’s pupils contracted—the Bai Family’s first daughter?

Holy shit!

“Alright, enough of this!”

Xu Yang waved his hand, face turning serious. “With my current strength, I can refine pretty much any entry-level or mid-grade fifth-tier pill; if I go all out for a day, I can make about twenty of them!”

With the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and the Six Heavenly Skills, as long as there are enough resources and he puts in his full effort, even twenty pills is an understatement.

But honestly, this is absurd—who the hell does alchemy like him, as easily as eating and drinking?

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang started breathing rapidly the moment they heard this.

Twenty pills a day?

Do you have any idea how insane that is?

In just a month, families like the Zhang Family or the Yunshan Clan could completely transform their core members—a wholesale leap in overall strength!

Especially in comparison to powers who don’t get this kind of opportunity—the difference is instantly obvious!

If Xu Yang stayed with the Zhang Family or Yunshan Clan long-term, within three years, the family would become monsters even in all of Daqian!

Three years—arming their foundations with a massive haul of supreme pills, and then breaking through again.

A crowd of elites at the same realm, even people capable of fighting beyond their level in Myriad Phenomena… just thinking about it is terrifying!

Frankly, with loads of supreme pills, the difficulty of breaking through from Yang Realm to Myriad Phenomena would be massively reduced!

A single noble clan, with Yang Realm everywhere? Heaps of Myriad Phenomena cultivators?

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang’s eyes reddened—they felt like they might go crazy.

Damn that Zhang Family, they got ahead of us; if only the Zhang Family wasn’t splitting that share!

Damn that Yunshan Clan; if not for them, all those pills would be ours, the Zhang Family’s!

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang glared at each other, teeth clenched and eyes brimming with hate!

“After we leave the Seven Treasures Grotto Heaven, I’ll stay in Qingzhou for about another month. I’ll spend the whole month focused on alchemy. The specifics—you and the Yunshan Clan can discuss among yourselves!”

“Once I’m gone, I’ll also need the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan to help me hunt down more Yin-Yang Spiritual Objects!”

I’m not refining all these pills for free!

With the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan’s help, he’d pretty much have all the Yin-Yang Spiritual Objects he needed for his array-placing.

“Don’t worry, brother, you won’t be disappointed in us!” Zhang Hong beat his chest in a guarantee!

Yun Kaiyang refused to be outdone, making repeated promises as well!

With a matter like this, the two clan leaders wouldn’t have any issues at all, even without further explanation.

“There’s nothing else, so I’ll take some time to solidify my foundation,” Xu Yang said with a faint smile.

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang, catching the hint, immediately took their leave!

As the two left, a sudden commotion broke out in the distance.

Xu Yang glanced over from afar, shaking his head with a wry smile—those two had actually started fighting with each other.

He checked over his body’s internal condition and nodded in satisfaction.

A huge boost in strength!

His combat power—while not quite at the Myriad Phenomena Realm—was really close!

“When heading to Central State, I can’t use my true face, but the Transformation Skill will be enough!”

“Still, my fighting style is way too recognizable for anyone who knows me!”

Xu Yang pondered for a moment, then suddenly focused and swept his spiritual sense over each Storage Ring.

From the Barbarians to the Northern Territory and then to Qingzhou, he’d built up a terrifying collection of Storage Rings on him—there were plenty he couldn’t even be bothered to take.

The valuable Spirit Elixirs and pills inside had already been taken out before.

Now, on a whim, he decided to cultivate some martial arts and Divine Techniques different from his normal style before leaving Qingzhou.

Once in Central State, he couldn’t afford to reveal his identity—not for some time, at least.

After a while.

Xu Yang searched excitedly through dozens of martial arts and Divine Techniques laid out before him.

The choices were dazzling: fist, palm, finger techniques, Saber and Sword Skills, all sorts of spiritual secrets—you name it!

“With the Transformation Skill to disguise myself, and the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant to mask my aura, even an average Myriad Phenomena Realm expert would have a hard time seeing through me!”

“No need for Sword or Saber Skills; fist and foot styles, plus Spiritual Power Secret Skills, will cover most surprises!”

Having decided, Xu Yang started sifting through them quickly.

After a few dozen breaths—

He’d already picked out a fist technique, a finger technique, and two Spiritual Power Secret Skills.

All of them were fifth tier, requiring at least a Late Stage Yang Realm or perfected cultivation to wield their true might!

Seventy-Two Layers of Explosion Fist, Yangji Xuanxu Finger, Ten Thousand Blades God-Sundering Slash, Ape Demon God-Shaking Strike!

All four were far from ordinary—they were powerful martial arts!

And their cultivation methods were all complete, no shortcuts or missing pieces!

With some time left before the end of the Seven Treasures Grotto Heaven, Xu Yang instantly sat down to meditate and study them.

Ever since cultivating the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, his comprehension had improved a lot too.

In just two days, he’d already started to gain results with the Seventy-Two Layers of Explosion Fist and the Yangji Xuanxu Finger, enough to produce their rudimentary forms!

The latter two Spiritual Secret Skills were a bit more difficult though.

But Xu Yang wasn’t too worried—he still had a whole month, plenty of time to master them.

After leaving the Seven Treasures Grotto Heaven, Xu Yang continued staying at the Zhang Family.

The message he’d left for Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang was relayed to both clans’ heads without fail.

Mountains of Spirit Elixirs were delivered to Xu Yang in piles and heaps.

Meanwhile, the plans targeting the local branch of Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association and the Yuanli Sect were now in motion by the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan.

Of course, it couldn’t be done openly, or chaos would break out!

Publicly, the two major clans were still mortal enemies!

They sent out their experts, concealed their identities, and took action from the shadows.

For these two powers, using this “boiling frog in warm water” approach, it’d just take a bit more time to completely uproot Yuanli Sect and the Commerce Association from Qingzhou.

As for their prey escaping—that was impossible. Everyone targeted was already being secretly watched to death.

Xu Yang didn’t care much about these moves—he was sure the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan wouldn’t let him down!

He alternated between making pills and studying the four Divine Techniques!

Each batch of supreme pills that left Xu Yang’s hands sent the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan into indescribable furor from top to bottom.

On this particular day—

While relaxing between alchemy sessions, Xu Yang suddenly looked up toward the courtyard.

A knock on the door followed immediately.

“Come in!”

Bai Jingxue walked in through the door.

Not seen for a few days, Miss Bai of the Bai Family was as gentle and beautiful as ever. Her graceful face wore a soft, fresh smile that felt like a spring breeze, turning the quiet little courtyard into a vibrant, picturesque scene.

“What brings Miss Bai here all of a sudden?”

Xu Yang wondered inwardly.

Bai Jingxue gave a mysterious smile, pulled out an ancient scroll from her robe with her jade-like hand, and walked forward to hand it to Xu Yang.

“This is…”

Xu Yang took it instinctively and opened it—his pupils immediately contracted.

It was a list.

The very first item made Xu Yang’s heart skip a beat.

Pure Yang Profound Crystal!

A supreme yang Spiritual Object, extremely beneficial even for cultivators at Late Stage or perfected Yang Realm!

He glanced down. Nearly a hundred items—all Yin-Yang Spiritual Objects!

Maybe not the absolutely top-tier ones, but each was among the best of their type.

Xu Yang suddenly looked up, completely stunned, at Bai Jingxue.

Bai Jingxue smiled sweetly. Without any trace of seeking credit, she said softly, “I heard Mr. Xu needs Yin-Yang Spiritual Objects. It just so happens my Bai Family also has some treasures. Once you arrive at the Bai Family, if you don’t mind, everything on this list can be yours!”

Xu Yang’s heart trembled.

Good heavens, the Bai Family was really going all out!

But his mind quickly settled down!

The Bai Family had already boarded this ship—they had no other choice.

Plus, after these recent days watching him make pills, Bai Jingxue was probably green with envy!

Xu Yang didn’t answer Bai Jingxue’s offer, but instead asked, “After the incident in Beixuan City last time, will the Bai Family face trouble in Central State?”

Bai Jingxue’s willow brows drew together slightly as she wore a wry smile. “It’d be a lie to say there’s no trouble at all. The Chen Family is basically finished, so their impact is minimal; the Zhu Family isn’t pushing as hard as they could, but Wuhou Hall…”
