Yan Guiyun failed his first breakthrough, let alone them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were they injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is said that their vitality was injured, but it was not serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang listened to the conversation of these disciples, and only then did he know that during the time he was in seclusion, Qi Xuancheng and Zhang Hanzhou, who were in seclusion to impact the Heavenly Origin stage, had both failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at how he succeeded all at once; the difficulty of breaking through to the Heavenly Origin stage was such that many people could never succeed in their whole lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a figure like Elder Huoyun, it is said that back then, after reaching Marrow Cleansing perfection, he also spent nearly two years before breaking through to the Heavenly Origin stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, having been in seclusion for many days, I think your cultivation has made a great breakthrough.\" Zhu Yuan and several disciples under Elder Huoyun walked over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have seen several senior brothers. It was just a small seclusion for a few days; what breakthrough could there be?\" Xu Yang laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a gaze fall on him several times, carrying scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang looked back and found it was someone he didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to have noticed his gaze, this person quickly stood up and left the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Senior Brother Zhu recognize that person?\" Xu Yang pointed to the person's back and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan looked at Xu Yang in confusion and said: \"He is a disciple under Elder Yue Zhong, named Song Wending, a disciple of the Song family, one of the ten great families of Qingyang City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wending?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person from the Song family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's eyes flashed with brilliance. A person from the Song family monitoring himself on the Departing Fire Peak? No wonder his five senses found that this person's gaze at him was a bit different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had killed people from the Song family several times without revealing any flaws, the people from the Song family still wanted to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting with Zhu Yuan and others for a while, after eating, he returned to the quiet room to continue consolidating his cultivation and cultivating the Departing Fire Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Departing Fire Technique was indeed extraordinary and domineering. The energy essence it cultivated could even increase the strength of his body, which had reached major completion of the Immovable King Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what was truly domineering was the absorption and influence on the power of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Departing Fire Technique was activated, the power of heaven and earth within a radius of several dozen zhang would be drawn and swarm toward his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Departing Fire Technique First Layer (102\u002F10000)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet room, Xu Yang frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that cultivation at the Heavenly Origin stage was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. For seven consecutive days, the progress of the Departing Fire Technique had only increased by a few dozen points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to this speed, it would take three or four years for him to break through to the second layer of the Heavenly Origin stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as far as he knew, the entire Heavenly Origin stage had nine layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still with his perfect root and comprehension, seven days to increase this much progress. If it were someone else, it would probably be even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must get pills or spiritual medicine for the Heavenly Origin stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With pills or spiritual medicine, the cultivation speed would naturally be faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for pills, as far as he knew, even people with Elder Huoyun's status mostly cultivated with Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills. The Purple Sun Gate might not have pills for the Heavenly Origin stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they had them, but they might be very few, so few that even elders could only occasionally get a share, so disciples like him shouldn't even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn't get pills or spiritual medicine, the best way was to find a place with more abundant spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he had tried it in the past few days, and the spiritual energy of the Departing Fire Peak was better, while the spiritual energy of the outer sect was even thinner than the Departing Fire Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Strategy Academy!\" Xu Yang pondered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should be another reason why everyone wanted to enter the Heavenly Strategy Academy. Besides powerful heritage, it should be resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual medicine and pills couldn't be had every day. To increase cultivation, ultimately, one had to rely on absorbing and refining spiritual energy from heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunqi Villa was located ten miles outside Qingyang City and was the most important property of the Song family, one of the ten great families of Qingyang City, and also the Song family's base outside the city, with at least two Marrow Cleansing major completion martial artists sitting here all year round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, recently, the Song family's Marrow Cleansing major completion experts had died a bit too many, and the Marrow Cleansing major completion experts sitting here had gone from two to one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunqi Villa was mainly a place for the Song family to cultivate spiritual medicine and raise exotic beasts. The importance could be imagined. As long as there was a little problem here, it could affect the development of the entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang lurked in the mountains and forests, looking at Yunqi Villa from afar, with the spiritual weapon Green Water Blade wrapped in black cloth on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family had made moves against him several times and had also colluded with Liu Qingyuan, attempting to transfer him away from the Purple Sun Gate to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before breaking through to the Heavenly Origin stage, he could only endure and hibernate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Heavenly Origin stage, he couldn't wait for the Song family to make a move before fighting back. The initiative could not be in the hands of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there were less than two years until the second Dragon-Ascending, and he would inevitably leave after the Dragon-Ascending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, he had to solve all his enemies; otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease leaving Xu Qing alone in the Purple Sun Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by high mountains on three sides, the huge villa covering seven or eight mu occasionally had beast roars coming from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the herb gardens, Song family disciples walked around, delivering essence to the planted medicinal materials and sprinkling fertilizer made of exotic beast bone powder and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song family martial artists wearing armor patrolled around the villa without any slack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Song family had Song Yushao as their anchor, it was impossible for a Heavenly Origin ancestor to sit here at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spiritual medicine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a scan, Xu Yang discovered three medicinal materials radiating faint light. There was one spiritual medicine, and he didn't know how many years old it was, shining brightly like a small sun, entwined with rich spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a small tree no more than three feet tall, its trunk as thick as a child's arm, the cracked bark like scales. At the top of the small tree, a blood-red fruit hung quietly, like a burning flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this be a Zhu Yan Fruit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the description of the Zhu Yan Fruit he had seen before and felt that this fruit was very similar to the Zhu Yan Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhu Yan Fruit was a treasure craved by martial artists cultivating Yang-type techniques. It is said that if a martial artist cultivating Yang-type techniques can take the Zhu Yan Fruit, their energy essence will further refine and transform, becoming more scorching, and melting gold and burning iron would be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older the Zhu Yan Fruit, the more terrifying the effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Departing Fire Technique happened to be a Yang-type technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing has a destiny with me!\" Xu Yang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to observe the layout of the entire Yunqi Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he just wanted to snatch the spiritual medicine, he naturally wouldn't need to be so cautious. With his Heavenly Origin stage cultivation, entering Yunqi Villa would be like entering his own backyard. His main purpose was still to lure Song Yushao here for an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a low beast roar entered Xu Yang's ears, the sound full of tyranny and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was hundreds of zhang away from Yunqi Villa, he felt the grass and trees beside him tremble from the roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang's gaze tightened. To have such momentum, the strength of this exotic beast, even if not as good as a Heavenly Origin expert, wouldn't be much worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lurked forward for a distance, then spread his heart and mind and five senses to the fullest, looking for the exotic beast that had made the roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his heart and mind saw a strong exotic beast in the pitch-black cave, shaped like a tiger but larger, with flame-like patterns all over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorching aura came from the exotic beast, and the cave was full of heat waves, as if flames were about to burn from the exotic beast's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exotic beast was nearly two meters tall, its four limbs thicker than a person's thighs, and its appearance was a bit terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several thick chains radiating spirituality locked the exotic beast's four limbs and head tightly, making it unable to move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exotic beast's eyes were blood-red, emitting monstrous hatred and a tyrannical aura. Accompanied by its struggle, the power of heaven and earth around it also fluctuated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Origin level exotic beast—Scarlet Flame Tiger!\" Xu Yang was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family actually raised a Scarlet Flame Tiger, an exotic beast comparable to a Heavenly Origin martial artist, in this Yunqi Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was definitely a huge fortune. A drop of blood from this level of exotic beast was an unhoped-for treasure for martial artists below the Heavenly Origin stage, used to temper the physical body, and the progress would be rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge Scarlet Flame Tiger's head was larger than a millstone, its face ferocious, but it no longer had the momentum to roam the mountains and forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claws on its four limbs had all been cut off, and the fangs in its mouth had also disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the place of its abdomen, a wound that looked like it had some years on it was displayed, still stained with blood, as if someone had just drained its blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed just drained of blood. At this moment, Xu Yang's heart and mind had already seen a man carrying a bucket full of Scarlet Flame Tiger beast blood, striding toward the Zhu Yan Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this Scarlet Flame Tiger's blood used to cultivate that Zhu Yan Fruit?\" Xu Yang thought and quietly touched toward the cave where the Scarlet Flame Tiger was imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuhua carried a bucket of Scarlet Flame Tiger blood and strode toward the Zhu Yan Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an elder of the Song family, a Marrow Cleansing major completion expert sitting in Yunqi Villa. His main task was to drain the Scarlet Flame Tiger's blood every day and use the blood containing spiritual energy to water this spiritual medicine, the Zhu Yan Fruit, which was about ten years old.\u003C\u002Fp>",1975,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6b69279ca59d8b5c6188274cec36d3157a278ee1f4f8f17fa256b7697d0bed49","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-382","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-380",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
