Obviously, besides them, there were people from the Huang family here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he would have paid the money, the Huang family would discover the theft and sale of meat, and kick the person who sold it to him out of the martial arts hall. His money would be wasted, and he might also disgust the Huang family, which would be more trouble than it was worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From yesterday's incident, it could be seen that the Huang family only wanted to cultivate Lu Ren and had long wanted to kick them out, just out of regard for their reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If discovered, the Huang family might use this as an excuse to stop their cultivation of him. The risk and the gain were not proportional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ask him if he can wait a few days. If Liu Guangfa is fine, then we can discuss it.\" Xu Yang finally added this sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Qian Jiaxing had a chance to ask that person, Liu Guangfa's matter was discovered during lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin rushed over in person, took Liu Guangfa away from the canteen, announced the suspension of Liu Guangfa's funding, and drove him out of the Mighty Far Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin didn't pursue Liu Guangfa deeply, but Zhou Yang, who bought Liu Guangfa's beef, was out of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yang had paid Liu Guangfa one silver tael at once. Liu Guangfa disappeared after being driven out of the Mighty Far Hall, and he couldn't find anyone to get his money back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yang's face turned green. He had finally managed to persuade one, but he had lost one silver tael for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brainless thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's group watched and called it satisfying. None of them disliked these two brothers, and seeing them eat humble pie, they all clapped and praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before, they were talking eloquently and ordering people around. I thought they were smart people, but I didn't expect they didn't even think that the Huang family would discover this.\" Zhang Hong laughed until he fell over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just an idiot. If cheap things were that easy to take, it wouldn't just be the two brothers coming up. They really thought they were the only smart people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yong, who almost never spoke, spoke up because of this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, those few people with Grade D-Upper root bone all had the idea of selling resources for money, but they were worried about being discovered by the Huang family and being held accountable. They didn't expect the Zhou Yang brothers not to consider these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know where Liu Guangfa lives?\" The Zhou Yang brothers walked over aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having suffered such a big loss for nothing, they naturally wouldn't let it go and wanted to find Liu Guangfa to get their money back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke. At such a time, unless one was willing to tell where Liu Guangfa lived, answering would be attracting Zhou Yang's anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yang swept his gaze over Lu Ren, feeling he couldn't afford to offend him, and then landed on Xu Yang, who was standing side by side with Lu Ren, pointing and saying: \"You say it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang frowned, his eyes cold: \"What kind of thing are you? You tell me to say it, and I say it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this kind of ordering-people-around posture, let alone not knowing where Liu Guangfa lived, even if he did, he wouldn't say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to shield him, or are you in the same gang? Are you mud-legged fellows teaming up to cheat me out of my money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Yang's words, Zhou Yang immediately thought that Xu Yang didn't want to say it, completely failing to realize that it was his ordering-people-around posture that angered Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Yang, you've gone too far!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of \"mud-legged fellow,\" even Lu Ren couldn't hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not a mud-legged fellow, yet you take such small advantages?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F*** your mother, say it again if you have the guts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Lu Ren, everyone was angry. If it weren't for the fact that private fighting among fellow disciples was forbidden in the Mighty Far Hall, they would have already made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good. You mud-legged fellows think you're human beings after practicing stance training for a few days. Cheating me out of my money, just wait and see.\" Zhou Yang threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Yang, you're so majestic, bullying junior brothers who initiated it later than you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Sun Tao's voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yang's expression changed. He saw Sun Tao had arrived behind him at some point, and he hurriedly bowed: \"Senior... Senior Brother Sun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have no brains yourself and blame others. Get out and stand on the plum blossom stakes for an hour. Don't come down until the time is up. If you dare to entangle this matter again, I will expel you from the school.\" Sun Tao snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Zhou Yang hurriedly bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He acted tough in front of Xu Yang and the others, but in front of Sun Tao, who was in charge of outer courtyard affairs, he was more obedient than a grandson, and he immediately ran to the plum blossom stakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuan lowered his head, secretly rejoicing that he hadn't spoken just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also get out and stand for an hour to let your brain clear up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao didn't let him off either. After saying \"Yes,\" he also hurriedly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang, Lu Ren, follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Sun Tao turned and walked toward the inner courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren and Xu Yang looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Entering the inner courtyard, they saw Huang Jin sitting in a pavilion drinking tea. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Come over!\" Huang Jin beckoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang and Lu Ren walked quickly into the pavilion and bowed: \"Greetings, Fifth Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin nodded and said: \"I let you come over, there's nothing special. Liu Guangfa committed an offense, and I intend to distribute the money he handed over to the Mighty Far Hall to the two of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money for the Mighty Far Hall was paid every three months. With the Huang family's status, it was naturally impossible to ask the Mighty Far Hall to refund a few silver taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Fifth Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang bowed again, not expecting that Liu Guangfa's incident would have such a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren, however, was puzzled and said: \"Why not give it all to me? Giving it to him is just a waste. If you give it to me, I can break through the barrier faster and serve the Huang family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this day, he was no longer the timid youth who stuttered when he spoke. Even when talking to Huang Jin, he carried a bit of composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his talent, even if he offended the Huang family, there were plenty of people willing to cultivate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin looked deeply at Lu Ren: \"Xu Yang's initiation time for the Turtle-Snake Great Stance was only one day later than yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing so quickly, could such a person really be used by the Huang family after growing up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren didn't speak again, knowing his wings weren't full yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to practice hard. If your subsequent performance is good, the Huang family will naturally see your performance and increase the cultivation investment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin still comforted Lu Ren and looked at Xu Yang: \"For your share, I've decided to give you Body-Strengthening Soup. If you want to exchange it for something else, you can tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang shook his head: \"It's all up to Fifth Master's decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body-Strengthening Soup was very good. With this one silver tael of Body-Strengthening Soup, he would have twelve bowls of Body-Strengthening Soup every month, and he could drink one bowl every three days or so. In this way, he could practice the Turtle-Snake Great Stance for more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two go back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bowed and exited the pavilion, walking toward the outer courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, in the practice of the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, I will let you know that you were just lucky before and how big the gap between us is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren said, walking away with long strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People really change fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang could only sigh that Luo Dehu was truly a talent. Luo Dehu contributed a lot to Lu Ren's changes. The Lu Ren of the past wasn't this sharp-edged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly threw Lu Ren's words to the back of his mind and continued to devote himself to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Announcing the severing of ties with Old Second Xu, Old Second Xu didn't come to make trouble either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and it was already the eighth day since entering the Mighty Far Hall. This morning, Zhang Yong initiated the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, and in the afternoon, Zhang Hong's Turtle-Snake Great Stance was also initiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ninth day, another person initiated the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, but it wasn't Luo Dehu, who had Grade D-Lower root bone, but Qian Jiaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the twelfth day, everyone had initiated the Turtle-Snake Great Stance and started practicing the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also on this day that Lu Ren announced that his Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist had been initiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, which was more difficult than the Turtle-Snake Great Stance, had been initiated by him in only seven days. Such speed naturally drew another round of exclamations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Huang Jin was alarmed again, rushed to the Mighty Far Hall, and announced that Lu Ren's cultivation investment would be increased by two taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to this point, the Huang family's cultivation investment in him had reached thirteen taels per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One should know that many true martial artists who served as retainers only had a monthly salary of ten silver taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such an honor, Lu Ren was naturally triumphant. He even provocatively asked Xu Yang, how long will it take for you to initiate it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the next day, Xu Yang announced that the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist had also been initiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren couldn't hold it together anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Turtle-Snake Great Stance was like this, and the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist was also like this. As soon as he broke through, Xu Yang would break through the next day, chasing too closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I admit you have some comprehension, but I want to tell you that Martial Dao cultivation mainly depends on root bone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren found Xu Yang with a gloomy face. Xu Yang was chasing too closely, and he hadn't pulled away from Xu Yang even after spending so much money. He was worried that the Huang family would distribute part of his cultivation resources to Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't cultivation depend on money?\" Xu Yang asked puzzledly: \"Oh, right, you have more money than me, and you spent so much money without shaking me off, so why are you pulling some root bone here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to this point, the two had publicly ruptured and truly fallen out. Lu Ren also gave up the idea of subduing Xu Yang as a subordinate and practiced martial arts even more diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin didn't appear, as if the Huang family didn't know that Xu Yang had initiated the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist only one day later than Lu Ren. Everyone knew they had been abandoned by the Huang family, including Xu Yang, whose talent was second only to Lu Ren's. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1948,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3a77f825be8cb9813dbfa451ade6473cb0345536d7c4a4288d94cf76596fce49","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-17","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-15",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
