Even if he took it to sell, he wouldn't dare to sell it if someone dared to want it. A disciple of the Sect Master, the third genius of the Ten Talents, even if Yan Guiyun took the initiative to kill him, he wouldn't dare to expose the fact that he killed Yan Guiyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the person was already dead, and there was no proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone believed him, the family that supported Yan Guiyun, and his master, Sect Master Zhang Jingyuan, would they not take revenge just because it was Yan Guiyun who took the initiative to kill him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone were so reasonable, this world wouldn't be so chaotic, with fellow disciples killing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, not only Yan Guiyun’s semi-spirit weapon, but the weapons of Song Wenshan, Song Wenxuan, and these people couldn't be sold, as they would likely be traced back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the semi-spirit weapons in his hand, the only ones that could be sold were the one from Guan Du and the one from Li Haoruan; selling the others would likely bring him trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so many semi-spirit weapons, totaling seventy or eighty thousand taels, were his largest sum of wealth, and it was a pity to throw them away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s put them away first. When my weapon-forging skills are proficient, I’ll see if I can modify them and change their original appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, these weapons cannot be brought back to the Profound Sun Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the bundle again, picked up Yan Guiyun’s corpse, and Xu Yang rushed into the mountain forest to dispose of the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day later, he appeared near the Profound Sun Sect, found a secret place to hide most of the semi-spirit weapons, and only entered the Profound Sun Sect carrying Guan Du’s semi-spirit weapon and Li Haoruan’s semi-spirit weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Xu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the outer sect all the way, many disciples greeted Xu Yang, and he responded to them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon he went up to Li Huo Peak, first put his luggage back in the courtyard, and then rushed to Elder Huoyun’s main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple Xu Yang, requests an audience with Master.\" He cupped his hands outside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in!\" Elder Huoyun’s loud voice came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He operated his breath-restraining technique to the extreme, tidied his clothes, and then walked into the main hall, bowing and saluting: \"Disciple greets Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the gilded chair, Elder Huoyun raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze fixed on the book in his hand: \"In the future, when you return, you don't need to come and greet me specially. If there’s nothing else, you may go down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This disciple is here to thank Master,\" Xu Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Elder Huoyun backing him, Liu Qingyuan and Song Yushao would have likely acted against him long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huoyun heard this and snorted coldly: \"If you want to thank your master, do fewer absurd things to anger your master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he was still brooding over Xu Yang spending over a thousand contribution points to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was a bit speechless. How could this matter not be turned over yet: \"This disciple will strictly follow Master’s teachings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huoyun then waved his hand with satisfaction: \"You have been traveling for days, go down, settle down well. There are only two and a half years left until the second Dragon Ascent, and you don't have much time left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit difficult for Xu Yang to reach the Heaven Origin realm within two and a half years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he didn't compete this time, Xu Yang would be over the age for the next time, and even if his talent were sufficient, he wouldn't be able to get on the stage of the Dragon Ascent. This was also the reason why he hardened his heart to force Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This disciple will definitely do his utmost and not fail Master’s expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang nodded seriously, then exited Elder Huoyun’s main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chewing dried meat for a few days, he went straight to the canteen. Along the way, many people greeted him, their tone carrying a kind of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang thought about it slightly and soon understood the reason for this change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to only have talent, and his cultivation at Small Success of Marrow Cleansing didn't count for much to some inner sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had been at Moon Lake for four months, not only killing Luo Xin and the others but also killing Guan Du, who was at Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. The change in strength was the reason these people were in awe of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had finished getting his food, he heard Zhu Yuan’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang walked over with a smile and saw Zhu Yuan, Hong Lei, and several others who were also Elder Huoyun’s disciples sitting together eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Senior Brothers!\" Xu Yang sat down with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people greeted him and continued to bury their heads in eating, and he also buried his head in eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just heard the news that Yan Guiyun failed to break through to the Heaven Origin realm after being in seclusion for several months. It is said that he has already left the sect to go to the Yunling Mountains to hone himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone’s attention, and everyone looked over subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Origin, Yan Guiyun—these two words appearing together, no one would not be curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Heaven Origin realm is too difficult. Even a genius like Yan Guiyun couldn't break through after being in seclusion for several months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think the Heaven Origin realm is? Let alone Yan Guiyun, even the Young Marquis and Li Chuyang might not be able to break through in a few months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Guiyun entering the Yunling Mountains this time, it seems he has made up his mind. When he returns, I’m afraid he will be at the Heaven Origin realm. Two years later, my Profound Sun Sect will have one more genius for the second Dragon Ascent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He won't be able to return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang thought to himself. He had disposed of Yan Guiyun’s body in the mountains, and at this moment, Yan Guiyun’s corpse had likely been eaten clean by wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that Li Chuyang and the Young Marquis have already started to attempt Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. The talent of these two is truly terrifying,\" someone suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, it again aroused curiosity in everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two had actually started to attempt Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. These geniuses who had hopes of a second Dragon Ascent were all starting to exert their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Du Chuan? Du Chuan was once as famous as the Young Marquis and Li Chuyang. Has he also started to attempt Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing?\" someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three had once competed on the same stage, and their talent could be said to be evenly matched. Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang had both started to attempt the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing bottleneck, so Du Chuan should be about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't heard about Du Chuan; he should still be a bit behind,\" the person said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, your talent is not much worse than Li Chuyang and the Young Marquis. What about you? How much longer until you reach Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing?\" Suddenly someone looked at Xu Yang, and the large canteen became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Kun held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, afraid that Xu Yang would say something like \"I have also started to attempt the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing bottleneck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang smiled: \"How can I compare to the Young Marquis and the others? I still have a long way to go before I reach the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing bottleneck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Kun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: \"The Young Marquis and Li Chuyang both have backgrounds and don't lack resources. How could Xu Yang keep up with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, he smiled: \"Brother Xu, if you hadn't wasted so many contribution points to exchange for the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill formula, you might have been able to keep up with the pace of the Young Marquis and Li Chuyang. That was truly unwise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow was really poking at a sore spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, Xu Yang not only did a stupid thing but was also punished by Elder Huoyun to guard Moon Lake for four months, and only returned today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang looked at Xiong Kun calmly: \"If you were still on the Ten Talents List, you might have reached Small Success of Marrow Cleansing by now. That is truly a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just exposing shortcomings; it was said as if no one else could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Xiong Kun suddenly had a liver-colored face, not lightly angered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Han Feng and Lu Ren had both started to attempt the Small Success of Marrow Cleansing bottleneck, because he lost the resource rewards of the Ten Talents List, the distance between him and these two was getting wider and wider. He hated Xu Yang, who had squeezed him off the Ten Talents List, extremely much, which was why he was being sarcastic to Xu Yang here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect Xu Yang not to save face for him either, mentioning again the matter of him being squeezed off the Ten Talents List.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the canteen, everyone held back their laughter, not daring to laugh out loud for the sake of Xiong Kun’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang, the fifth among the Ten Talents, dared to make fun of Xiong Kun, but they didn't dare. Although Xiong Kun had been squeezed off, he was still a genius who had once been on the list, and not everyone dared to make fun of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the atmosphere was strange and Xiong Kun was embarrassed, a figure ran into the canteen urgently and said in a shocking voice: \"Lu Ren... Lu Ren has forged a semi-spirit weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone’s ears, shaking their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Semi-spirit weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for some heads of medium-sized families who could possess semi-spirit weapons at the Small Success of Marrow Cleansing realm, weapons of this level were basically exclusive to experts at Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. As long as it was a semi-spirit weapon, no matter how poor the quality, it could be worth at least four or five thousand taels of silver, and better ones could sell for seven or eight thousand taels each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the art of weapon forging reached this level, both fame and fortune were easily obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had a look of shock. They all knew Lu Ren’s talent for weapon forging was astonishing, and he, who originally no one cared about, was taken in by Elder Tie Fu as an inner disciple because of this. But they didn't expect Lu Ren’s talent for weapon forging to be this good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Tie Fu asserted that he could forge a semi-spirit weapon within a year. He didn't expect that in just seven or eight months, Lu Ren had already forged a semi-spirit weapon. His talent was shockingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone seven or eight months, most disciples of Li Huo Peak who learned the art of weapon forging could be considered decent if they could forge a semi-spirit weapon within seven or eight years, and more people might not be able to forge a semi-spirit weapon in their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This talent is truly strong!\" Hong Lei sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also cultivated the art of weapon forging, but after wasting thousands of taels of silver, he gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>",2035,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","020486cdde5aa318c1895d09377fe56254c899526eaf4bac4472e55bfe019855","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-340","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-338",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
