Chapter 47: Evaluating Xu Yang, Hai Yun Looks Forward
Xu Yang said, naturally is about refining the "Elixir of Longevity".
Li Wang saw Xu Yang firmly refuse, and smiled slightly: "What medicinal materials do you need to practice with? Just tell me, Qian Bao Pavilion will provide whatever is available, and I'll hand them over with both hands."
Xu Yang nodded and bid farewell, then took Xu Yu and Song Tinglan back home.
"Brother, you seem to be happy about Qi Men's defeat," Xuyu observed carefully, noticing the change in Xuyang's expression, and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that neither Qi Men nor Huo Yun Daochang have anything to do with us?"
Xu Yang didn't hide it either and said: "The Qi Men Dao Xue being driven out of Lin Chen City, for me, means a lot less trouble."
If Qi Men wins, his power will greatly increase, and the assassination attempt on Xu Yang will definitely become more intense. At that time, it is likely that a master of the Xuan Shi level will make a move. Although Xu Yang's current strength is formidable, he is still no match for a true Xuan Shi master.
After all, it is a big gap in realm, absolutely not child's play.
"Brother is now very powerful, I heard from Little Jun Hou that you are already a Xuan Shi, really?" Xu Yu couldn't help but be a little unbelieving, shaking Xu Yang's arm and asking.
Xu Yang did not deny it and nodded: "A few days ago when I entered the Giant Python Mountain Range, I was seeking a breakthrough. Fortunately, my luck wasn't bad."
"Brother is so hardworking, it's only natural that he gets promoted, what luck has to do with it?" Xǔ Yú's two big black eyes curved into two smiling slits. "In just over ten days, it'll be the day of the family competition. Brother is so strong, he'll definitely make those people who bullied us look up to him."
Xu Yang practiced every day without stopping, and also took medicine baths and hit the green stone to practice [Panshi Body]. Not a single moment was idle. All of these Xu Yu saw with her own eyes, only she knew how much sweat Xu Yang had shed in order to become stronger.
"Hmm." Xǔ Yáng was somewhat distracted. The family competition, in his eyes, wasn't anything significant. If it weren't for Xǔ Yuè, he wouldn't have attended this competition at all.
Xu Yu is different from him, filled with nostalgia for the family, this sense of belonging by blood, no matter what cannot be erased. Moreover, Xu Yang will definitely leave Linwan City in the future, Xu Yu is a little girl, can't follow him to roam the world, having a family to rely on is much better than being alone in this broken courtyard.
Today, I met Xǔ Zhèng Xìn, the eldest son of the Xǔ family's main house, at the Western Warm Pavilion. He seems to be quite different from the other Xǔ family juniors who have bullied me in the past, and he even spoke up for me. Xǔ Yáng secretly thought to himself, remembering this scene in his heart.
The current master of the Xu family, Xu Changling, has three sons: Xu Qingyue, Xu Qingyuan, and Xu Qingpeng. Among them, the second son, Xu Qingyuan, is exceptionally talented and stands out from the crowd, overshadowing his brothers' brilliance. However, this does not mean that Xu Qingyue and Xu Qingpeng are mediocre people.
Xu Qingyu has a stable and steady personality, is a heavy gentleman. Xu Qingfu also has great perseverance. These two are Xu Yang's uncles.
Xu Zhengxin is the eldest son of Xu Qingxian.
"Perhaps, within the Xu family, there are two factions with different attitudes towards my father Xu Qingyuan. One faction, including Xu Qingliu and Xu Qinghe, attributes the decline of the Xu family to my father, and their sons Xu Zhengming and Xu Zhengfei have repeatedly bullied my siblings and me. The other faction consists of Xu Qinglian and Xu Qinggao from the eldest branch, who seem to cherish old relationships; now their son Xu Zhengxin is even speaking up for me. I just don't know what attitude my paternal grandfather Xu Changling has..."
Xu Yang shook his head, shaking off these thoughts. In this era of survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak and the winner takes all, being strong oneself is the foundation! Just thinking about relying on family will never allow one to grow into a strong person.
Indeed, the path of cultivating the mysterious requires borrowing momentum to advance, but Xu Yang would never humble himself for the sake of borrowing momentum; he would only use equivalent transactions to exchange for the "momentum" he desired.
Back home, Xuyang began to plan his next move. He suddenly realized that he didn't have enough time, as there were too many things he wanted to do.
Xiu Cheng Xuan Lun, possessing Xuan Li, Xu Yang wants to refine some commonly used therapeutic pills for healing injuries, restoring energy, and assisting in cultivation; he is already able to practice Xuan Shu, so he must cultivate some powerful Xuan Shu as a trump card; other things such as refining talismans, forging artifacts, etc., seem to have their uses.
Things naturally start from the most important place, Xu Yang decided to practice alchemy and cultivate mystic arts simultaneously, as for refining talismans and crafting equipment, he would put them off for later.
Across the street from the Xu family's old residence, Xu Zhengxin walked quickly into the courtyard of the master's house.
"Is that you?" a hoarse voice sounded from behind the thick curtain. "What brings you to see me today?"
"Grandpa, I saw him today... my cousin, Xu Yang."
"Oh..." The old man's voice had a hint of turmoil, "What happened? According to your temperament, if there wasn't something particularly astonishing, you wouldn't have come to tell Grandfather just because you saw Xu Yang."
Xu Zhengxin briefly mentioned the incident where Xu Yang appeared in Xiweng Pavilion today and repelled Chu Mingde with one palm, saying: "It's hard for Sun'er to believe that his younger brother's strength has improved so quickly. Twenty days ago, he was only a late-stage cultivator of the Mystic Sect, but just over half a month later, he has already advanced to become a Mystic Master!"
The old man's voice fell silent for a moment, then said: "Thick accumulation and thin emission, sudden enlightenment and breakthrough, these are rare on the road to refining the mysterious, but not unheard of... Xìn ér, in your opinion, what is Yáng ér's strength?"
"His physical strength is extremely powerful," Xǔ Zhèngxìn recalled, "However, his Xuan Qi cultivation is slightly inferior. If he really fought with Chǔ Míngdé, in the midst of Xuan Shù's offensive and defensive techniques, his younger brother might not have the upper hand."
Pausing for a moment, Xu Zhengxin said: "However, this is already extremely rare. After all, Xu Yang has the Eight Extremes Body, and cultivating the mysterious is exceptionally difficult."
"Hmm..." The old voice nodded and said, "There's some truth to that. Being able to cultivate into a Xuan Shi with mediocre innate talent, Yang Er's comprehension and opportunity are quite good. It's just a pity that the intangible threat of the Mo family didn't allow my Xu family to support Yang Er's cultivation, causing him to suffer a lot."
"There's another thing, Grandfather needs to pay attention to. Ge Wei Feng of the Ge family in the west city seems to be very dissatisfied with his younger brother and has even issued a threat, saying that if he sees his younger brother at the entrance examination of Hai Yun Academy, he will definitely not show any mercy."
"Ge..." The old man muttered to himself, then said, "Speaking of which, the enrollment of Haiyun Academy is about to begin... I wonder if our Linwan City can get an extra quota this time. Don't worry, Xiaolong, your uncle Qing will take care of it, you just focus on cultivating and increasing your strength. In this Haiyun Academy selection conference, Grandfather hopes that you can win the championship and bring honor to our Xu family."
Xu Zhengxin nodded heavily: "Grandson understands."
