Xu Yang became an attendant of the Yuan Family.
If Yuan Gang really could help him become Elder Li Yang's disciple and study alchemy, what harm was there in giving the Yuan Family the rights to sell his pills in the future? He would need someone to sell them anyway. One seller was as good as another.
The Yuan Family needed a genius to maintain their relationship with Elder Li Yang, and he needed someone to help arrange his entry into Medicine King Peak.
Unless he revealed all his talent, the potential he had displayed so far really was not enough to qualify him as a disciple of a Medicine King Peak elder. That evening, Xu Yang returned to the Violet Sun Gate.
"Junior Brother Xu, you're back? Did you complete the mission?"
Sun Tao was overjoyed to see Xu Yang return unharmed.
"It took some effort, but I finished it. The haul wasn't bad either," Xu Yang said with a smile.
Sun Tao was less optimistic. "That old dog's scheme came to nothing. I'm afraid he'll make another move. You still need to be careful."
Xu Yang nodded, exchanged a few words with Sun Tao, and returned to his room.
Yuan Gang had already promised to mention Xu Yang's situation to Elder Li Yang. Although getting Xiao Hua killed outright was unlikely, it should at least make him hesitate like a man afraid of breaking the vase while striking the rat, keeping him quiet for a while.
Now that the Yuan Family would give him a Mystic Origin Qi-Transforming Pill every month, together with the Zhu Family's Origin-Returning Pill and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's Tenfold Great Tonic Pill, he would have three astral qi realm pills each month.
In two months at most, he could reach astral qi mastery.
