I think Brother Xu already knows about the matter of my Great River Gang setting up a hall here. I came here to invite Brother Xu to plan a great cause together. I don't know what Brother Xu thinks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So this was Guan Young Lady. He didn't look like a gang leader at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He thought Qian Jiaxing had become a guard for some wealthy family, but he didn't expect that he had joined a gang like Xu Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Brother Guan, for your appreciation, but I am already an offering of the Liu family in the inner city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang sneered in his heart. Wanting to invite him to join the group, this Guan Young Lady's ambition was not small. I'm afraid he didn't just want to occupy the territory of the Si Shui Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, the blood and sweat money extorted from the common people in the Si Shui Gang's territory couldn't support two martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Young Lady smiled: \"Brother Xu, these words are wrong. Although you are an offering of the Liu family, it doesn't affect you joining my Great River Gang. I don't require you to withdraw from the Liu family. As long as the Great River Gang needs it, you can make a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With an extra income, martial dao will improve faster. I think an elite like Brother Xu doesn't want to be a subordinate to others for a lifetime, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was already investigated, right? It was probably known that he refused to marry into the Liu family, thinking he had a certain ambition, so he came to invite him to join the group?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang shook his head and said: \"Sorry, I don't like disputes, I just want to live a stable life. Gang Leader Guan should invite someone else. Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After cupping his hands, he walked away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Young Lady narrowed his eyes, watching Xu Yang leave until Xu Yang's back could no longer be seen, and then he took his gaze back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He seems to have some hatred for gangs,\" Guan Young Lady showed a meaningful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Unappreciative, the Gang Leader personally came to invite him, which is giving him face, yet he is so rude,\" Qian Jiaxing said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Young Lady glanced at Qian Jiaxing: \"If you have the cultivation of Qi Refining Small Completion, you can also be as arrogant as him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qian Jiaxing's face flushed red instantly. He seemed to have said something that the Gang Leader hated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't figure out why the Gang Leader helped Xu Yang speak when Xu Yang didn't give the Gang Leader face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gang Leader, the subordinate knows that there is another martial artist in this White Stone Square, who is a disciple of the Lie Feng Hall, named Yang Jun. Should I go and invite him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qian Jiaxing held back for a while and said the news of Yang Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't like that Yang Jun, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guan Young Lady shook his head and left first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qian Jiaxing was stunned. Xu Yang and Yang Jun were both at Qi Refining Small Completion. He came to invite Xu Yang personally, but didn't like Yang Jun. Why was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, Liu family!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Wang, you have a wide range of people, have you heard of this person Guan Young Lady?\" Xu Yang looked at Wang Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Yun thought carefully for a while, shook his head and said: \"I haven't heard of it, what about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wu Yongfeng and the others also shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You are asking about Guan Young Lady, did he provoke you?\" Zhang Bo's voice came.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang and the others turned their heads to look, only to see Zhang Bo striding over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang shook his head: \"He didn't provoke me, it's just that he occupied the territory of the Si Shui Gang, and yesterday he came to invite me to join his Great River Gang, so I was curious to ask. Does Brother Zhang know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Bo smiled and nodded: \"Ordinary people might not know this Guan Young Lady, but I happened to have dealt with him. This person was a disciple of the Tongbei Boxing Hall, and his talent was not bad. It seems he was an offering of the Cao family for two months and then fell out with the Cao family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Later, I heard that he failed to break through to Marrow Cleansing and went out to wander, and never came back. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he actually got this Great River Gang. He really mixed worse and worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't listen to the words behind anymore, only remembering the two words Cao family. Was it really for the Si Shui Gang matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, you are now an offering of the Liu family. If you don't agree, he won't dare to force you to join the group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang nodded: \"He didn't force me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Bo nodded, and then his gaze turned to Wu Yongfeng: \"Brother Wu, the offering of the afternoon shift has a brother who wants to go into seclusion for a period of time. The manager asked me to notify you. You go and top it for a period of time, and when that brother comes back, I will transfer you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wu Yongfeng cupped his hands: \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is Guan Young Lady arranged by the Cao family, or is it just a coincidence?\" Xu Yang pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But after pondering for a while, he found that he didn't think of anything useful besides adding trouble, so he simply didn't consider it anymore and returned to his room to practice the Diamond Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At noon, Xu Yang stepped out of the Liu Mansion gate and saw Qiu Wenjie waiting here, so he couldn't help but ask Qiu Wenjie curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There is something in the martial arts hall today. Senior Brother Sun Tao is worried that you won't go to the martial arts hall, so he asked me to wait for you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finishing, Qiu Wenjie asked curiously: \"What about Senior Brother Wu Yongfeng? Why doesn't he go with you today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang's expression dimmed: \"He has quit the Weiyuan Hall and won't go to the Weiyuan Hall anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qiu Wenjie fell silent instantly. There were not a few people like this in the Weiyuan Hall. After martial dao was hopeless, they would choose to leave the martial arts hall to reduce the two taels of silver tuition every month. Was it a helpless move in a helpless situation? Perhaps one day it would be his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two walked for a while before Xu Yang asked what happened in the martial arts hall, which actually required Qiu Wenjie to wait for him specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't know either!\" Qiu Wenjie shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When the two arrived at the Weiyuan Hall, Xu Yang also found that the top disciples had all come today and were sitting in a pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Qiu, come over to talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing the two appear, Sun Tao immediately greeted them to come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two entered the pavilion and sat down, and Sun Tao said loudly: \"Last night, the Lie Feng Hall sent a post, saying directly that today they would send Lie Feng Hall disciples to our Weiyuan Hall for sparring and exchange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His expression became serious: \"Fellow senior and junior brothers should know that our Weiyuan Hall and the Lie Feng Hall have always had grievances. Regardless of the outcome of the sparring, the Weiyuan Hall can only fight and not retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jiang Ping, Zhao Zhifei, and these Qi Refining Great Completion people all changed their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was asking them to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were at other times, they would naturally not refuse, but the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent was imminent. If they were injured and affected the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent, their future for a lifetime would be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"These idiots of the Lie Feng Hall, aren't they afraid of being injured and affecting the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent? If they want to fight, they can be accompanied at any time after the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent, even a death fight. Why are they making trouble at this time?\" Jiang Ping scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The intention of not wanting to fight was almost written on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Tao said: \"Everyone doesn't need to worry. We are afraid of being injured and affecting the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent, and they are also afraid. So this sparring is all point-to-point. If injured, the martial arts hall will compensate to ensure it doesn't affect the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only after saying this did everyone's expression look better. With the martial arts hall backing them up, there was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There are sparring sessions for both Qi Refining Small Completion and Qi Refining Great Completion, each level has five people. Who is willing to fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jiang Ping smiled: \"Count me in, plus Junior Brother Lu Ren, Senior Brother Sun Tao, you should also fight, and you can choose two more people, which will be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He chose those with stronger strength. Lu Ren didn't need to be mentioned. His talent already had quite a reputation in Qingyuan. Sun Tao, as Lin Cheng's direct disciple, had opened I don't know how many small stoves, so his strength was naturally not bad, and he was also at the Qi Refining Great Completion cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Fang smiled: \"I am a woman, you won't let me fight, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhao Zhifei sighed: \"Count me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew he couldn't hide. As one of the oldest disciples, if he was cowardly at this time, he would not only be despised but also offend Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Count me in too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>An old disciple named Yang Lin also spoke, and the candidates for Qi Refining Great Completion were decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What about the junior brothers with Qi Refining Small Completion cultivation? Who is willing to fight?\" Sun Tao's gaze swept over Xu Yang, Zhang Yong, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qiu Wenjie wanted to speak, but was pulled by Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Weiyuan Hall had many talents, and it wasn't Qiu Wenjie's turn to stand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What point-to-point, if you really believe this ghost talk, I'm afraid you don't know how you died.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sparring with fellow disciples all day, try the means of the Lie Feng Hall, just in time to prepare for the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Count me in too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Really think that after Kong Yu appeared, they are invincible? I have long wanted to fight them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, many people were willing to fight, because there were far more people with Qi Refining Small Completion cultivation than those with Qi Refining Great Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were still more than two months until the Martial Examination Dragon Ascent. Many people were still a bit short of breaking through. Suddenly, the number of people who spoke up and were willing to fight exceeded five.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Tao looked at Xu Yang, who not only didn't fight but also pulled Qiu Wenjie, and said expressionlessly: \"Junior Brother Xu, at the Qi Refining Small Completion level, Master specifically designated that you must fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't avoid it. Lin Cheng must have calculated that he wouldn't fight, so he specifically gave instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Xu Yang in surprise. This time the Lie Feng Hall came to spar, and only Xu Yang was designated by Lin Cheng to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be that Xu Yang's combat power is very strong, so Lin Cheng thinks so highly of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Senior Brother Sun, I also want to fight for the martial arts hall, but I have already reached Qi Refining Great Completion last night,\" Xu Yang said with an apologetic face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Tao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The entire inner courtyard was silent. Zhang Yong, Zhang Hong, and others all looked at Xu Yang in surprise. Isn't it said that it is difficult for Xu Yang to reach Qi Refining Great Completion?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How come Lu Ren broke through for only half a month, and Xu Yang also broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Many people seemed to hear the sound of slaps. Those who thought Xu Yang couldn't reach Qi Refining Great Completion before only felt their faces were a bit hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially Jiang Ping, Lu Ren, and these people, they looked like they had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Sun Tao was stunned for a while, reacted, cupped his hands and said: \"Congratulations to Junior Brother Xu for reaching Qi Refining Great Completion. Since this is the case, let others fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to Senior Brother Xu!\" Qiu Wenjie was overjoyed and hurriedly congratulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"At the beginning, the Huang family abandoned you, and they were really blind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong also stood up and came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although they had some small differences with Xu Yang, they hadn't fallen out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mentioning the Huang family, except for Lu Ren whose expression was a bit unnatural, everyone had an expression of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't be afraid to fight, it's a lie made up,\" Lu Ren said sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was very sour. He abandoned the Huang family and carried the bad name to have today's achievement. Why did Xu Yang?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I also think it's not very poss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before Jiang Ping finished speaking, he saw Xu Yang's true qi surging, which was undoubtedly the characteristic of Qi Refining Great Completion. The remaining words were stuck in his throat and couldn't be said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay, no one should say anything that affects the unity of fellow senior and junior brothers,\" Sun Tao said sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The grievances between Xu Yang and Lu Ren were known to everyone in the Weiyuan Hall, and he also had a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The more Xu Yang chased step by step, the more it showed Lu Ren's incompetence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon the people who were going to fight were all decided, and they began to recharge their energy. Xu Yang and those who didn't need to fight went to the outer courtyard to arrange the sparring venue, set up seats, tea, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that the appointed time had arrived, Lin Cheng also appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today he was in a tight suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and his direct disciples Sun Tao and An were also standing behind him with solemn expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Lie Feng Hall has come to visit the hall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the Weiyuan Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Open the door, welcome the guests!\" Lin Cheng shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two outer courtyard disciples stepped forward, opened the tightly closed door, only to see outside the Weiyuan Hall, standing a dozen or so burly men with fierce auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two of them were the most conspicuous. One was the person standing at the very front, a middle-aged man with a profound aura and a majestic appearance. At a glance, one could tell he was the Lie Feng Hall master, Ji Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other was the young man beside Ji Yun, heroic and spirited, with an extremely heroic appearance. If there were no accidents, this person was the Lie Feng Hall genius, Kong Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang also noticed the third person—Yang Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was actually in the Lie Feng Hall team, and his gaze also looked at Xu Yang. The two gazes met, and the corners of Yang Jun's mouth showed a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin, everything is well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ji Yun walked in with a laugh, and Lin Cheng brought Sun Tao and An to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon, the disciples of both sides sat on both sides, and Lin Cheng and Ji Yun sat in the upper position.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lie Feng Hall disciple Ji Jincheng, Qi Refining Small Completion cultivation, wants to ask for a few moves, I don't know which Weiyuan Hall senior brother is willing to give advice.\" A Lie Feng Hall disciple couldn't help but be the first to leap into the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sun Tao thought for a while and said: \"Junior Brother Zhang Yong, how about you go and spar with Junior Brother Ji for a few moves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yong's bone structure was Grade C-Upper, and his Qi Refining Small Completion had reached the limit, starting to impact Qi Refining Great Completion. The first battle should be fought by him, and he should be able to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yong nodded, leaped into the field, cupped his hands and said: \"Weiyuan Hall disciple Zhang Yong, please give advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ji Jincheng also cupped his hands solemnly: \"Please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2793,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-17T08:54:06.718Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","31b32e4e6aa08fb60bb65fed9d8fa7f782a5ec6fdf2b2d9c28dbb443c3a4008d","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-72","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-70",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
