With so many contribution points, he could have reached the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing in about a year and impacted the Heaven Origin realm. This is simply looking for death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect such a genius to be so unclear about what's important. When Elder Changchun rejected him, it was to let him focus on martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is ruined, wasting his talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He had bought pill formulas at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion several times before. I didn't expect him to continue buying pill formulas after reaching the inner sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the disciples of the four peaks heard this news, they were all dumbfounded. Instead of focusing on improving their cultivation to ascend the dragon a second time, he was messing around with alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he really had talent, what could he do if he became an alchemist? He would still be serving the strong, which could be called putting the cart before the horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the disciples of the four peaks were all laughing at Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually valued such a person and treated him as an opponent. It's simply ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guiyun and Lu Ren had self-deprecating smiles. Such a person who put the cart before the horse and didn't know what was important would never be able to catch up to him in cultivation in his whole life and was simply not qualified to be his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid, is his obsession with alchemy really that deep? If I had known, I would have taken him in back then.\" Elder Changchun felt a wave of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had taken Xu Yang in, even if he was distracted by alchemy, with his resource supply, it wouldn't have delayed Xu Yang much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Xu Yang was a disciple of Huoyun, and he was powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... Brother Lu, we were actually stepped on by such a person. It's truly ironic.\" Xiong Kun's tears were about to laugh out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Yang was striving for progress, he would have nothing to say, but he never expected that Xu Yang had only been on the Top Ten List for a few days before causing such a thing, taking away the resources that should have belonged to him to exchange for a pill formula that was of no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly do you want to do? How can you practice alchemy?\" Lu Ren's brows were deeply furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could be said to be the person who knew Xu Yang best. At the beginning of what Xu Yang did, you would be disdainful and mock him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, you would find that everything he did was right and he would never do anything crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a long time but couldn't think of the purpose of Xu Yang doing this. Could it be that Xu Yang had already learned alchemy through the few pill formulas he bought at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren's pupils shrank, scared by his own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his knowledge, this was impossible, but based on Xu Yang's style of doing things, he would absolutely never do anything disadvantageous to himself. Every move must have a deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What does he want to do?\" Elder Huoyun's hair stood on end with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had high hopes for Xu Yang, hoping that Xu Yang would revitalize his lineage and ascend the dragon a second time in the future to walk out of the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, he even squeezed out a Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill from his own share every three months to help Xu Yang, hoping that Xu Yang could reach the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing sooner and break through to Heaven Origin to participate in the dragon ascension when the second dragon ascension began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never did he expect that instead of using the contribution points he needed to exchange for Marrow Cleansing pills to improve his cultivation, he went to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that thing something that could be refined just by having a pill formula?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, calm your anger. I don't think Junior Brother Xu is someone who doesn't know what's important. Perhaps he is already an alchemist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin was startled; it was the first time he had seen Master so angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you believe what you're saying? Learning alchemy from a few pill formulas? Do you really think those people at Medicine King Peak are trash?\" Elder Huoyun became angrier as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to find a disciple with hopes of ascending the dragon a second time, yet he was so degenerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin indeed didn't believe it, but only this explanation could explain why Xu Yang spent those contribution points to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, Junior Brother Xu has already done it, so it's useless for you to be angry. I'll go talk to him later and tell him not to mess around in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin also hadn't expected Xu Yang to do something so unaware of what was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huoyun snorted: \"In the future? What future is there? He stays in the sect all day and does nothing; where will he get so many contribution points to mess around with in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin was speechless. It was true that Xu Yang wouldn't have so many contribution points in the future, so he wouldn't be able to mess around even if he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he is too idle, doing nothing all day, so he has the energy to mess around. Before, he continued to practice weapon forging, and anyway, it only cost silver, so I tacitly allowed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't expect that practicing weapon forging wasn't enough; he even wanted to learn alchemy, wasting so many contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next month, when the fifth one comes back to change shifts, tell him to get lost to Moon Lake to guard it. If he's not in the sect, I'll see how he can mess around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Elder Huoyun was most angry about was Xu Yang spending one thousand two hundred contribution points. Even if Xu Yang had spent over one hundred thousand taels of silver, he wouldn't have been this angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had plenty of silver, but contribution points were something that even a peak elder like him had to calculate when using.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he hadn't planned to let Xu Yang fulfill the duty of an inner disciple guarding a place so soon, waiting for Xu Yang to practice for a while longer, but now he couldn't be bothered to care about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to a place like Moon Lake, which was always in crisis, under the crisis of life and death, Xu Yang would surely focus on improving his cultivation and wouldn't mess around with other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lin knew this was better for Xu Yang, so he didn't plead for Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also felt that with Xu Yang's talent, he should go outside to experience life-and-death tempering to prepare for the second dragon ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill (0\u002F1500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang put down the pill formula and rubbed his aching head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martial Arts Longevity Points: 1742]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In over three months, plus the rewards for obtaining the Immovable Body of the Bright King and being on the Top Ten List, the contribution points he had accumulated already exceeded one thousand seven hundred, enough to add the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What really gave him a headache were the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill. Not only were there many, but many were also hard to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two main ingredients were even more frightening, as they were all spiritual herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how rare the medicinal herbs were, as long as they weren't spiritual herbs, you could buy them by spending more money. But things like spiritual herbs couldn't be bought just by having money, and you couldn't even find a place to buy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people who obtained spiritual herbs wouldn't be stupid enough to sell them for money; they would either take them themselves to improve their cultivation or exchange them for things of the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Whisker Root, Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the two spiritual herbs needed to refine the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill. He had obtained the Dragon Whisker Root in the Su family's treasury, and now he was still missing the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other medicinal herbs, he could barely scrape together one furnace from the gifts he had received recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he could scrape together this one furnace; he might not be able to scrape together the next one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to see if I can exchange Crystal Lotus Root and hundred-year-old blood ginseng for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit should be available in the sect; inner disciples could exchange for it as long as they could pay the corresponding contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have many contribution points left. If he could exchange, he could only sell the hundred-year-old blood ginseng and Crystal Lotus Root to the sect to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd better use spiritual iron!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, he felt he shouldn't touch the Crystal Lotus Root and hundred-year-old blood ginseng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to spiritual iron, spiritual herbs were harder to come by!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly, he had the most spiritual iron. Besides the ones he snatched from the Su family, there was still half a bag of spiritual iron in the mountains that he hadn't taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find a time to go and take the spiritual iron from the mountains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting any longer, he opened the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Add Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, as the points were consumed, a large amount of knowledge surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill (1500\u002F1500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martial Arts Longevity Points: 242]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know how much time had passed. When Xu Yang opened his eyes, all the details of refining the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill were clear in his mind, as if he had refined the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill thousands of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his forehead; this time it was truly painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving so much knowledge at once, even his mind couldn't handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Packing the spiritual iron obtained from the Su family into a bag, he went straight to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few people here, and many were queuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang felt a headache seeing this. He didn't want the matter of him wanting to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit to be known by everyone, nor did he want people to know he had so much spiritual iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to go back and come again later when there were fewer people, but he forgot that he wasn't an ordinary inner disciple now, but fifth on the Top Ten List and the beloved disciple of Elder Huoyun. How could the deacons of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall let him queue here like ordinary disciples?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp-eyed deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall saw him and immediately smiled, leading him into a side hall and closing the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you need here?\" Duan Changji smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang sat down opposite Duan Changji: \"Greetings, Deacon Duan. I want a Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit. I don't know what the requirements are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Duan Changji's heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit was a spiritual herb. Although taking it directly could improve cultivation, ordinary disciples wouldn't do this because exchanging for pills was more cost-effective. Only those alchemists at Medicine King Peak would look for the sect to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six hundred contribution points, or equivalent spiritual herbs or spiritual iron,\" Duan Changji smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was puzzled why Xu Yang would come to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit, he didn't ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had two hundred-plus contribution points on hand, still missing more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>",2036,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fcd08923c45dbb29d6fc1c843e609ec9854a92d2ea63d7b75bcb4599d7c61ba0","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-311","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-309",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
