Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 116 - 114: Hey, We Meet Again

Hearing this, Xu Yang gave a playful smile and said, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I’m sure!"

The middle-aged man’s gaze suddenly turned vicious: "What, you think a mere Daqian man like you can cause trouble among my Barbarian Race?"

After speaking, he strode toward the alley, his face full of menace!

"Looks like you think you can afford to mess with me." Xu Yang retreated.

"Just a useless early Yin Realm nobody, hmph!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and sneered, "Hand over all the barbarian gold you’ve got and I’ll let you suffer a little less!"

Right then, Xu Yang made his move.

He vanished from his original spot in an instant.

"So fast!"

The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank. Catching a shadow from the corner of his eye, he felt danger and instinctively struck out with his palm.

But a fierce pain was already crashing over him.

"Aaaah!!!"

The middle-aged man screamed as he smashed into the wall, not even realizing what happened before a big hand clamped around his neck and lifted him up.

"You..."

Bam!

Xu Yang punched him without the slightest politeness.

The middle-aged man’s face was beaten black and blue. He tried desperately to channel his True Essence, but it was completely suppressed—he couldn’t resist at all!

"Aaaah!!"

"Stop! Please, stop, don’t hit me."

"I’m sorry, boss, spare me! I was wrong, really wrong."

Finally, the middle-aged man curled up on the ground, utterly miserable, begging for his life.

He realized he had picked the wrong fight now.

He was Yin Realm Perfection, yet was subdued in one move by an early Yin Realm punk.

No one would believe it if he told them!

Xu Yang crouched and grinned at the man: "How many Moon Spirit Flowers do you have?"

"A lot, I’ve got a lot."

The man nodded furiously, immediately offering up his Storage Ring.

He didn’t even care about the ten-odd thousand barbarian gold he’d earned.

Now he regretted it down to his guts.

"You’ve actually got more than ten—where’d you find them?"

Xu Yang was astonished.

Moon Spirit Flowers weren’t super rare, but they required harsh growth conditions, not something you’d find everywhere.

This guy actually had a dozen or more—unbelievable!

The middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh: "I found a spot in the mountains, all covered in Moon Spirit Flowers."

"They’re all inside."

"Boss, I’ll even give you the Storage Ring, just please spare me."

Xu Yang shot the man a glance and said coolly, "Relax, I won’t kill you, but you’ll do something for me."

"Boss, whatever you say, I’ll go all out!" The man said, both sour and resolute.

What else could he do?

Xu Yang took out a blank Jade Talisman, carved on it for a while, and handed it over: "Go to a shop, buy all the spirit herbs listed here for me. Twenty portions of each!"

That simple?

The man froze, then nodded like crazy.

Hmph, once I’m out, I’m running for it!

You think a Daqian man like you can find me?

Just as the man was plotting, Xu Yang produced a blood-red pill.

A thick, murderous Blood Sand Poison aura surged forth.

The man felt his scalp tingle, his hair stand on end.

Just feeling that aura was enough to make him feel like breaking down!

"This, this is..."

"You should know, Blood Sand Poison Elixir, made with Blood Sand Poison from the Red Sand Blood Desert, a fourth-grade spirit pill. Swallow it without the antidote and in three days the blood sand will consume you—not even ashes left!"

"Even a Yang Realm expert couldn’t draw the poison out of you."

Xu Yang’s smile was utterly kind.

Gulp!

The man swallowed hard, forehead beaded with cold sweat.

The Red Sand Blood Desert—that’s forbidden territory for the Barbarians!

Elixirs made from Blood Sand Poison—how could he not have heard of their infamy?

"I swear, I absolutely won’t run."

The man looked at Xu Yang pleadingly.

"Don’t make me get rough!" Xu Yang grinned.

The man lost all hope, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to swallow the blood-red elixir.

The murderous energy rampaged through his body, making him shiver uncontrollably. After a moment of discomfort, he finally managed to calm down.

"Promise you’ll give me the antidote?"

"I promise. After all, I’ve pissed off the Guard Captain. Might need your help in the future for things like this."

Hearing that, the man let out a huge sigh of relief.

That made sense!

Watching the man leave the alley, Xu Yang shook his head slightly.

Doesn’t cry till he sees the coffin, this guy!

He’d already expected the man would try something.

But in his hands, the man couldn’t stir up anything.

The pill was, of course, genuine.

He’d gotten it from Tuoba Bowu at the Pill Palace.

This kind of poison elixir was notorious among the Barbarians!

"Everything’s going smoothly. Moon Spirit Flower’s not particularly special, but combined with a few supplementary herbs, Moon Yin Elixir’s effect is amazing. Refining a super-grade one makes it several times better than normal!"

With a dozen sets of herbs, he could at least refine four Super-Grade Moon Yin Elixirs!

Also, among the herbs on the Jade Talisman, he’d included ingredients for another elixir—the Five Yin Elixir!

This Five Yin Elixir was fairly common in Daqian, made using five types of pure yin spirit herbs. It could boost a Yin Realm Martial Artist’s power by thirty or forty percent for thirty breaths.

Top-Grade Five Yin Elixir could give a forty percent boost!

Super-Grade—Xu Yang wasn’t sure, but guessed at least fifty percent boost!

That was all the preparation he needed!

An hour or so later.

The man obediently returned, his face pained.

He’d had to run to several herb shops, and just buying these spirit herbs had cost nearly one hundred thousand top-grade barbarian gold!

The more it hurt, the more he regretted it. If he’d just worked with Xu Yang to start with, how much better would that have been?

Too bad there’s no such thing as a regret pill!

"Boss, it’s all in there." The man handed the Storage Ring to Xu Yang flatteringly.

Xu Yang gave it a quick glance and confirmed it was all there.

Then he suddenly seized the man by the throat.

"Boss... you..." The man locked onto Xu Yang’s hand, struggling for dear life.

Thud!

Blood splattered. With a dull grunt, the man’s head slumped to one side, still full of bitter despair!

Xu Yang tossed aside the corpse, took the Storage Ring, and quietly left, heading back to the Pill Palace! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Red Sand Blood Desert’s trial was over, and he’d gotten a huge haul of materials. Even more elixirs like General-Grade and Marquis-Grade Pills were being made.

Tuoba Bowu and the others were so busy they had no time to rest.

But Xu Yang didn’t have to help out. He could train alone and prepare for the seventh day!

He spent two days and successfully refined four Super-Grade Moon Yin Elixirs, plus five Super-Grade Five Yin Elixirs!

At the Super-Grade level, even if he advanced to Middle or Late Stage Yin Realm, he could still benefit a lot.

As for side effects, it was just brief weakness.

But with the Purest Essence Qi from the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, he could recover fast.

On the sixth day, Xu Yang used three Super-Grade Moon Yin Elixirs to advance to the Middle Stage of Yin Realm.

Seven days later.

Royal Court Guard Camp.

A big crowd had gathered.

The ten Blood Generals, many young prodigies, Tuoba Hongyu—everyone was here.

Helan Huaning was there too, looking at Xu Yang with even more venom and a hint of fear she couldn’t hide!

Every gaze fixed on Xu Yang was cold and hateful.

Xu Yang didn’t care. He looked at Tuoba Dajiang and said, "Where are they?"

Tuoba Dajiang looked at Xu Yang deeply. Noticing Xu Yang’s cultivation, he was startled, but thinking of his preparations, all worry vanished.

"Your inheritance is as good as wasted!"

"All of you, get out here!"

Tuoba Dajiang shouted.

Nine Barbarian Martial Artists stepped out.

When Xu Yang saw one of them, his brows rose, and he couldn’t help but grin: "Well, fancy seeing you again!"

"Xu Yang, you’re shameless!"

Lo Feng glared at Xu Yang, yelling in grief and fury.
