It was time to start contemplating the Li Huo Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huoyun was stunned, then nodded: \"I thought it was something else. The Li Huo Art is originally one of the inheritances of my Li Huo Peak. It is only right to pass it on to you. It’s just that this art is too domineering; without reaching Heaven Origin, practicing it does more harm than good. Now you can indeed start contemplating it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he grabbed at the bookshelf not far away, and a secret manual floated over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking objects from a distance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s pupils shrank slightly, because he hadn't felt any battle qi fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the manual in his hand, he saw the three vigorous and powerful characters \"Li Huo Art\" written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang hurriedly cupped his hands: \"Disciple thanks Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Elder Huoyun waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple takes his leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang bowed, then turned and exited the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the hall, Gao Lin had already left. He tucked the Li Huo Art into his bosom and walked toward the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the news of Xu Yang reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion and fighting Li Chuyang to a draw in the Heaven Wind Valley spread throughout the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qian and Qin Ze, who were still struggling in the outer sect, felt bitter when they heard this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether they could reach Marrow Cleansing in this lifetime was unknown. Xu Yang’s future was at least a Heaven Origin expert, and in all likelihood, he would achieve the second Dragon Ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest opportunity in life was actually the person they had once avoided like a tiger. If they had been able to maintain the friendship from the beginning, in the future, when Xu Yang broke through to Heaven Origin, the status of being Xu Yang’s friend would have been their greatest reliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this point, one only had to look at Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang had never actively helped Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li, but because they were Xu Yang’s friends and often ate and gathered together, no disciples in the outer sect dared to provoke them, not even the notorious Break-of-Dawn Society dared to offend them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those outer sect deacons would also prioritize them for good missions. They had never entered the Yunling Mountain Range to take risks, but the contribution points they earned were no less than those who were risking their lives in the Yunling Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s cheap for that fellow Huoyun!\" On Medicine King Peak, Elder Changchun regretted his initial decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally a good intention, it had caused him to miss out on a Dragon Ascension genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Li Huo Peak, Elder Tie Fu was also regretting it, but the wood was already carved into a boat, and he had no way to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qingyang City, at the Song family mansion, Song Wending returned in a hurry to inform Song Shirong that Xu Yang had reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? This little beast has reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion? How did he do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Shirong’s hair stood on end in anger, his face full of disbelief. There was nothing more uncomfortable than hearing that someone he hated had broken through in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family had suffered heavy losses, the great revenge hadn't been taken, and yet Xu Yang had reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Great Elder had died inexplicably and the Green Water Blade had been lost, if he wanted to kill Xu Yang, wouldn't he, the Clan Leader, have to go out personally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because other than him, the only two remaining Marrow Cleansing Great Completion experts in the Song family had no certainty of killing a genius like Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader, should we continue to monitor him?\" Song Wending asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Song family really have to insist on killing Xu Yang because of that little matter? In the past, there would have been nothing wrong with this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Xu Yang had reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion and initially had the power to protect himself; he was no longer a weakling the Song family could crush at will. Once they made a move and failed to kill the snake, they would inevitably forge a death feud with Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter doesn't need you to remind me. Go back and continue to monitor him. Because he reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion, my Song family’s many lives will just go unavenged?\" Song Shirong snorted coldly and let Song Wending leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myriad Treasures Pavilion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin’s brows were tightly furrowed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already reported the matter of recruiting Xu Yang. Logically speaking, at most in a month and a half, the headquarters would have sent the Dragon Ascension resources. Now more than two months had passed, and there was still no movement at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really did gamble correctly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong suddenly walked up from downstairs with a smile on his face: \"You should be able to return to Yunzhou soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin was stunned: \"What did I gamble correctly on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong laughed: \"Xu Yang. Just now news came that he has reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin was shocked and stood up: \"When did this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that Xu Yang would only be able to reach Marrow Cleansing Great Completion after the Dragon Ascension resources were sent. He hadn't expected that before the resources had even arrived, Xu Yang would have already reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed gambled correctly. Xu Yang’s talent seemed to be even better than before; he hadn't fallen much behind people like Jiang Fan and Li Chuyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew the backgrounds of these people better than he did. Reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion so quickly, he didn't know how many resources their families had given them. For Xu Yang to keep up with these people, his talent was likely even above theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It happened today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong said: \"I don't know when he broke through. The Purple Sun Sect opened the Heaven Wind Valley today, and he had a dispute with Li Chuyang. The two collided for a few moves, and only then did everyone know he had reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of shock appeared on Zhou Yong’s face: \"I heard he fought Li Chuyang to a draw with his body alone. In fact, Li Chuyang lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Li Chuyang’s status, and what was Xu Yang’s status? Let alone just holding his own against Li Chuyang’s attack with his body alone, even if he hadn't been as good as Li Chuyang, it would have been a win for Xu Yang given his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He had a dispute with Li Chuyang?\" The smile on Tao Huaijin’s face disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong nodded: \"Yes, it is said that there was friction last year, and they nearly fought. Jiang Fan intervened, and Li Chuyang was punished with three months of confinement because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the two fought in the Heaven Wind Valley, and Li Chuyang was punished with half a year of confinement again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin’s brows were tightly furrowed: \"He has always been cautious, so how could he dare to provoke Li Chuyang? Is Li Chuyang someone he can provoke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yong’s brows also furrowed, correcting him: \"It wasn't him provoking Li Chuyang; it was Li Chuyang taking the initiative to attack him. Could it be that if someone attacks you, you have to stand there and take the beating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No difference!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin was thoughtful: \"No wonder his Dragon Ascension resources never came down. It turns out he had already had a conflict with Li Chuyang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? Are you going to give up on recruiting him?\" Zhou Yong raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Huaijin was silent and didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huo Peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang ate and returned to his courtyard, intending to take out the Li Huo Art to read and contemplate, but he didn't expect someone to knock on the courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening it, he found it was his fellow disciple, Senior Brother Zhu Yuan, and several other disciples who were also under Elder Huoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, congratulations on reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people were carrying gifts and squeezed in with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are too polite, Senior Brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang laughed and hurriedly poured tea. After a few pleasantries, they soon took their leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhu Yuan and the others left, Xu Yang hadn't even sat down when someone else came to offer congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next few days, after Xu Yang returned from the Heaven Wind Valley, people came to offer congratulations. Any disciple on Li Huo Peak who had spoken a few words to him came to offer congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who hadn't come to offer congratulations when he reached Marrow Cleansing Small Completion last time came this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fan and Jiang Yan also sent gifts, and Lu Ren and Xiong Kun also sent gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Li Huo Peak, people from other peaks also sent gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Ming, a disciple of Beast King Peak Peak Master Lu Tianchen, Du Chuan, Xie Zhan, Han Feng, the Ding family, the Yuan family... Xu Yang didn't care who it was; if there was a gift, he took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth mentioning that so many people who weren't very close to him had sent gifts, while the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which had wanted to recruit him, acted as if they didn't know about this matter and showed no sign at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed. He didn't believe that with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion’s capabilities, they wouldn't know the news of him reaching Marrow Cleansing Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they going back on their word? Or is it that the people at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion headquarters don't think much of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing no sign at all was somewhat intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three or four consecutive days, Xu Yang finally finished dealing with everyone and collected a pile of gifts. He began to find time to read the Li Huo Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Li Huo Art · Not Yet Entered (0\u002F1000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the true inheritance of Li Huo Peak, the Li Huo Art wasn't so easy to contemplate. After contemplating for half an hour, he put down the Li Huo Art and practiced the Blood Prison Heart Blade Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Obtained Li Huo Art, Points +100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martial Dao Longevity Points: 941]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang smiled with satisfaction, closed the panel, washed up, ate at the dining hall, and rushed to the Heaven Wind Valley again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time that followed, he contemplated the Li Huo Art while continuing to go to the Heaven Wind Valley to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days and months alternated. Everyone who entered the Heaven Wind Valley was immersed in cultivation, especially those who aspired to the second Dragon Ascension, who used all their resources for cultivation. Without realizing it, a month had passed since the Heaven Wind Valley opened, and the sect announced that the Heaven Wind Valley would close again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was still unsatisfied, but they had to leave the Heaven Wind Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mountain-Bearing Bear Scripture · Great Completion (8237\u002F12000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At most three months, and the Marrow Cleansing realm can be perfected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang stood up with satisfaction and walked out of the Heaven Wind Valley with Jiang Fan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a month of hard cultivation, the spiritual quality on his body was even richer. Looking inside, his muscles and bones flashed with a faint radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't seen Xu Qing for a month. After going down Li Huo Peak, he learned that the outer sect competition had already begun registration, but Xu Qing hadn't registered; her cultivation shouldn't be exposed right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve successfully refined the Qi-Gathering Pill!\" Xu Qing said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there was a result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was also quite happy to hear this. Since Xu Qing started learning alchemy, he had invested no less than ten thousand taels, and she had finally refined a pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many pills were refined?\" Xu Yang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s excited expression finally slumped a bit, and she said in a low voice: \"One!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining one pill—this success rate was truly ridiculously low. For a low-level pill like the Qi-Gathering Pill, one furnace had to refine at least four pills to break even, and five to make some money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang comforted her: \"It’s very good. Your brother here can’t even refine Qi-Gathering Pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only refine Origin-Gathering Pills and Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills; he truly couldn't refine Qi-Gathering Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing’s expression looked a bit better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying Xu Qing for a meal and giving her a Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill, Xu Yang returned to Li Huo Peak to continue his hard cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, Xu Yang finally heard the news of Lu Tianchen’s return to the Purple Sun Sect from Gao Lin. As for what Lu Tianchen had done over the past few months, Gao Lin hadn't found out, and he didn't know if Lu Tianchen had found the Blood Lotus Sect’s stronghold. The only thing he knew was that Lu Tianchen had returned to the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like he didn't find the Blood Lotus Sect’s stronghold,\" Xu Yang pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had found the Blood Lotus Sect’s stronghold, the Purple Sun Sect should have started dispatching people at this time, preparing to wipe out the Blood Lotus Sect’s stronghold in retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>",2325,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f8767cad07164e6c983ab0aa93c590900d1e54988d184de0e4f3c70a2771c1ca","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-361","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-359",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
