Money flowed out like water, and his cultivation base improved steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once his points reached a certain amount, he used them to improve his bone structure and comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As time slowly passed, Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong spent more time gathered with Jiang Ping, Gu Fang, and the others. They rarely came to interact or spar with the three of them anymore, and their relationship gradually grew distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even Zhang Hong, a slick person, rarely came over to socialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, they hadn't fallen out; when they met, they still greeted each other warmly, and there were no cold words exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that the two had now entered the circle of Jiang Ping and the others; hanging out with them seemed a bit low-end, not conducive to their development, and they simply didn't have the time to socialize with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding this, Qiu Wenjie seemed a bit indignant, while Wu Yongfeng was happy to see it happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, their past friendship remained. If Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong developed well, it would only be beneficial for him. If he encountered trouble in the future, he would have a well-connected friend to lend a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang, however, was indifferent. To him, whether they were doing well or not, they were friends, and he wouldn't demand that Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong revolve around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Half a month later, Lu Ren, who had been recovering from his injuries, returned to the martial arts hall, though his wounds had not yet fully healed, so he could not cultivate for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten days later, Lu Ren announced that his injuries had recovered and vowed to break through to Qi Refining Great Completion within half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On this day, the true qi in Xu Yang's body stopped growing; his dantian and meridians were both filled with true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I can attempt to break through to Qi Refining Great Completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew he had touched the barrier of Qi Refining Great Completion; only by breaking through could his true qi continue to increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he left the Weiyuan Hall and returned home. After telling Xu Qing not to disturb him, he entered his room, locked the door, and began to assault the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the blood qi in his body surged like a tide, battering his muscles, bones, and skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under the control of his mind, the pure and tyrannical Diamond True Qi spun faster and faster within his meridians. Xu Yang felt as if his whole body were being pricked by knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Diamond True Qi was too tyrannical; even though his body had been tempered by it, his meridians still found it hard to bear under such high-speed circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang gritted his teeth and focused his mind. The rapidly circulating Diamond True Qi rampaged, piercing through meridians he had never involved before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"These meridians are unimportant. I must pierce the Ren and Du meridians to achieve Qi Refining Great Completion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His current bone structure was Grade B-Upper, and combined with the condensed and tyrannical Diamond True Qi, piercing the Ren and Du meridians was not difficult for him. The real difficulty was finding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't know how much time had passed when he finally felt that every time the Diamond True Qi reached a certain place in his body, it was like hitting an invisible barrier that blocked the true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I've found the location of the Ren and Du meridians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang's spirit was greatly boosted, and he immediately gathered all his true qi to strike at this spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the strike gathering all his Diamond True Qi, Xu Yang felt a loud noise resound in his mind. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as the rebounding true qi surged back, making his meridians feel as if they were about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't help but gasp, the pain making his vision go black.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lin Cheng said that the most important thing in martial arts is money, and talent is equally important; otherwise, every wealthy family in Qingyuan County would be filled with Qi Refining Great Completion experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even with his bone structure and comprehension, and having cultivated the Diamond Art, he hadn't succeeded in one go; one could imagine the difficulty for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Calming his surging blood and smoothing out the chaotic true qi, Xu Yang rested for a while before launching a second assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time he was ruthless, accumulating power for a long time before controlling all his true qi to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had prepared himself for the backlash, but to his surprise, the second strike easily pierced the invisible barrier. The Diamond True Qi drove straight in, with only a slight recoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was as if he had pushed open a door into a broader world; the invisible shackles vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A more surging and powerful true qi emerged from thin air, merging into his own true qi, roaring as it continued to strike forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Another crisp sound. Xu Yang felt as if his whole person were about to float away, his mind entering an ethereal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet another wave of true qi appeared from thin air, merging into the roaring true qi and forming a brand-new cycle with his original true qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rumble...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His meridians and dantian were both vibrating, expanding rapidly as if breaking through a limit. The dantian and meridians that had been filled with true qi suddenly became spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before his eyes, the progress of the Diamond Art was rising rapidly, his blood qi was surging, and his physical strength was increasing sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The true qi is starting to nourish the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The breakthrough in cultivation realm brought more than just an increase in true qi; his muscles and bones emitted crackling sounds, and a luster flowed faintly within his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every time the true qi cycled, it increased and condensed by a fraction, and his physique grew stronger by a fraction as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Until after seventy-seven forty-nine cycles, the surging true qi gradually calmed down, entering a low-speed automatic cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finally, Qi Refining Great Completion. The true qi has entered the realm of automatic circulation. From now on, even if I sleep every day, my cultivation will grow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang opened his eyes, feeling incredibly light, as if he had shed a heavy shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Within a radius of ten zhang, he seemed to be able to hear even the sound of mosquitoes crawling on the ground. Through the moonlight, everything in the room was visible in minute detail before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The scale of my true qi is at least double what it was before, and the degree of condensation is even more astonishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He finally understood why Zhang Tong was so arrogant after reaching Qi Refining Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Against someone at Qi Refining Small Completion, Qi Refining Great Completion didn't mean he could kill them with a casual slap, but it would only take two or three moves. And that was just at the entry level; once his true qi accumulated a bit more, he could truly kill them with a casual slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Bone Structure: 65】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Comprehension: 64】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Cultivation: Qi Refining Great Completion】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Techniques: Turtle-Snake Great Stance · Small Completion (293\u002F300), Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist · Small Completion (490\u002F500), Diamond Art · Entry (256\u002F1000)】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Skills: Mining lv.3 (283\u002F400)】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Remaining Lifespan: 64】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 23】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His lifespan had increased by two years, and the progress of the Diamond Art had also increased by more than twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning that the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist did not reach Great Completion this month as he had previously expected; the progress was stuck at \"490\".\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This month, the slowest progress among all techniques was actually the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, the comprehension of the Mixed Origin Force was more difficult than he had imagined; it hadn't made any progress for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In most cases, the Mixed Origin Force is an exclusive ability of Marrow Cleansing experts. Since I was at Qi Refining Small Completion, it was naturally difficult to comprehend. Now that I have pierced the Ren and Du meridians and my true qi is at Great Completion, it should be much simpler to comprehend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang had also made this deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Mixed Origin Force is a realm where the internal and external are one. Since his internal true qi hadn't reached Great Completion, how could he achieve the unity of internal and external, the oneness of the Mixed Origin?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There are still three months until the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent. In three months, even if I can't reach Marrow Cleansing, it shouldn't be far off. Even Lu Ren hasn't reached Qi Refining Great Completion yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everything had happened earlier than he had expected; he had broken through before Lu Ren for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang felt joyful in his heart. Finally, at Qi Refining Great Completion, he could be considered to have some self-preservation power in a place like Qingyuan, and he didn't need to be so cautious anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He tidied his clothes and pushed the door open to walk out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When he returned, it was only noon; pushing the door open now, the bright moon was in the sky, and all was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Qing had been guarding outside. Seeing Xu Yang come out, she couldn't help but laugh happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is there any food left? I'm hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang originally wanted to reach out and pat her head, but seeing that Xu Qing was already as tall as his shoulder, he realized she was no longer a little girl and had to retract his hand awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'll go heat it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Qing turned and ran back into the house to start a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No need for the trouble, I'll eat it cold,\" Xu Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With his current physique, even eating ice cubes wouldn't be a problem, let alone cold food. Besides, the weather was getting warmer, and eating cold food was actually more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Qi Refining Great Completion burns even more money. Should I tell the Liu family about this?\" Xu Yang pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qi Refining Great Completion was not the end, but a beginning. As his cultivation became more profound, the resources required would be even more terrifying. Relying solely on absorbing nutrition from food to refine qi, who knows when he would reach Marrow Cleansing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But doing so would be too high-profile. Lu Ren hadn't even reached Qi Refining Great Completion, yet he had already reached it. If word got out, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. One must know that when he had his bones felt at the Huang family, it only showed a Grade C-Lower bone structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll wait a few days. At the very least, I must wait for Lu Ren to break through, so it won't be so eye-catching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Anyway, according to Lu Ren's own words, he would reach Qi Refining Great Completion in at most half a month. It was only a mere half a month; he could afford to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the news of his Qi Refining Great Completion spread, there wouldn't be many benefits, and it might instead invite a pile of trouble, which would be more trouble than it was worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I just hope this guy is reliable and not just bragging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 53】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, the first thing Xu Yang did upon opening his eyes was to look at the panel. With his cultivation breaking through to Qi Refining Great Completion, the panel had rewarded him with thirty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he raised his bone structure to \"68\".\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the following days, Xu Yang went to the Liu family in the morning to wait for orders, and at noon he didn't go to the Weiyuan Hall, but went straight home to consolidate his Qi Refining Great Completion realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a few days, his cultivation was finally consolidated, and the scale of his true qi had increased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist also became smoother to practice after reaching Qi Refining Great Completion, just as he had guessed, but it would still take some time of hard practice to comprehend the Mixed Origin Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Turtle-Snake Great Stance, however, reached Great Completion during these few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The effect of the Great Completion Turtle-Snake Great Stance was excellent. Every time he practiced, he had the illusion that his vitality was slowly increasing, and his whole body felt incredibly light.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every time he finished standing in the stance, a layer of gray-black foul sweat would appear on his body, as if he were detoxifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Practicing every day really does have the effect of prolonging life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Turtle-Snake Great Stance was just a technique taught by a small martial arts hall in Qingyuan County, yet it could prolong life. In those martial arts sects, were there true methods for martial dao longevity?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if there were no true longevity methods, according to his current understanding of martial dao, living for a few hundred years should be possible.\u003C\u002Fp>",2187,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-17T08:54:06.718Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","accc053d8eb6261810c22d22f3df1b06263ca5baa2279891a0de8f0af011c057","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-64","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-62",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
