Twenty contribution points had some effect, but not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He searched out Li Rui'an's identity waist token, and steel qi surged out, directly shaking it into powder. Then, he grabbed the corpse and rushed into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running wildly for a while, he didn't find a cave to throw the corpse, so he simply didn't bother to look anymore, put down the corpse, and brought over a large stone to slam down heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shook, and the stone smashed Li Rui'an's corpse into pulp and pressed it into the ground. He moved the stone away to let the bloody smell spread, hoping to attract strange beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying the corpse and erasing the traces, he could only do this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking that he wasn't stained with blood, he continued to return to the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, he appeared in the courtyard as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, Junior Brother, you went to buy a knife. Do you plan to learn knife techniques in the future?\" Sun Tao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang nodded and said: \"Senior Brother Sun looks like he's in a good mood. Did your cultivation break through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the sighing and complaining of yesterday, Sun Tao was in a significantly better mood today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao shook his head: \"No, but I have a clue, it should be soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang smiled and cupped his hands: \"Congratulations, Senior Brother Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted for a few sentences, and Xu Yang unlocked the door and entered the room, untying the Wolf Tooth Knife from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know any knife techniques now, and this knife was useless to carry on his body. He bought this knife mainly for practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the knife away, he sat down and continued to consolidate his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just broken through, both his steel qi and physical body had a lot of room for improvement. At the very least, it would take two or three days of consolidation for everything to enter a normal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was single-minded, focused on cultivation. When he was hungry, he would come out to eat, and then return to the room to continue consolidating his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Li Rui'an didn't return to the Purple Sun Sect. Those who lived in the same courtyard as him thought he had spent the night in the gentle village of Qingyang City and cursed him for not being loyal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day he still didn't return. One of his good friends was worried about missing the mission and rushed to Qingyang City to look for him, but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, he noticed traces of a battle and immediately returned to the sect to find a deacon to report it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deacon scolded him, asking if he had any evidence of Li Rui'an's accident. He couldn't produce any, so the matter had to be dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, the new disciples who had entered this year basically all knew the news of Li Rui'an's disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you chatting about? Are you not doing missions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having consolidated for two days and two nights and slept again, Xu Yang pushed the door out in high spirits, intending to take a mission to earn contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing the door out, he saw Sun Tao, Jiang Ping, and others were all there, whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, good news. I heard that Li Rui'an has disappeared. I don't know if he betrayed the sect or was killed.\" Sun Tao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing more pleasing than the misfortune of an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had seen Li Rui'an trying to snatch Xu Yang's elixirs that day, so for Xu Yang, this was indeed something worth being happy about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang said in a deep voice: \"Senior Brother, how can you be so gloating? Li Rui'an and we were fellow disciples after all. If something happens to him, it's the sect's misfortune. You shouldn't take tragedy as joy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ping and the others showed strange expressions. Had he practiced martial arts until he was stupid? There were thousands of outer sect disciples; who would really treat others as fellow disciples, especially someone like Li Rui'an?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Rui'an had bullied Xu Yang, yet he was speaking up for Li Rui'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao reminded: \"Junior Brother Xu, Li Rui'an bullied you! The person who wanted to snatch your elixirs last month was Li Rui'an, the one who was scared away by the Dawn Society later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Xu Yang didn't know who Li Rui'an was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang shook his head: \"We have already reconciled. Later, Li Rui'an found me and said that day was just a misunderstanding, and we have become good friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao was stunned. Reconciled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, the news of Xu Yang comprehending the Wind-Thunder Force had spread, and Li Rui'an probably knew he couldn't afford to provoke a genius who could almost rival the Ten Heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang added: \"Does Senior Brother Sun know how Li Rui'an disappeared? He is an expert who has already refined qi into steel. Has the sect investigated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao shook his head and told him what he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It was as he had thought: the Purple Sun Sect didn't care about the life or death of these outer sect beasts of burden at all. Leaving the sect without reason and dying outside—they were too lazy to even ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was no one available, they would just increase the quota at the next Wu Ke examination, and then a group of beasts of burden would rush to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's serious expression relaxed: \"The sect is right. Perhaps Li Rui'an was delayed by something and didn't return. How could an expert who has refined qi into steel easily have an accident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao and the others had strange expressions again. Was Xu Yang so naive?\u003C\u002Fp>",1150,"2026-06-16T12:17:41.122Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9bf202b93ca0b6d74875fc9499bac41e9377cb191f1f20aa1aefeab542a605e1","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-121","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-119",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
