The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 18 Fourth Stage
Main building.

Yaoguang returned here again.

And step by step, he came to the top floor of this nine-story building.

As he just reached the top floor, there was a dispute upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a gunshot was heard.

"boom!"

The dispute is over.

Not long after, a man in his forties wearing glasses ran out quickly carrying a box.

As soon as he went out, he was face to face with Yaoguang's raised gun.

The man put the box down immediately, dropped the gun in his hand and raised his hands.

"Here are the money and materials that Mr. Xu has accumulated this month that have not yet been handed in. There are more than three million in cash alone..."

The man said, and quickly added: "I'm talking about star coins. Including other things, the total value of the box is over four million."

Star Coins.

The currency of the Red Star Empire.

It is also the most mainstream currency in the world.

There is no such thing as one superpower and many strong countries in this world, only competition between the two poles.

Apart from the emerging overlord Snow Dragon and the world overlord Red Star, other countries are insignificant.

At best, some countries can serve as pawns in the struggle between the two sides, while some countries are not even interested in attracting the attention of the other side.

Four million Red Star Coins, converted into Dayu Coins according to the exchange rate, is equivalent to 40 million.

"Now these things are yours..."

The man said this, raising his hands and cautiously backing away.

But next second...

Gunshots.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several blood flowers bloomed on the man's body.

His eyes were red with hatred and he fell down unwillingly.

Yaoguang looked calm.

He had seen this man when he sneaked into the park. He was a senior executive of the park.

What this park has done...

Kill all the high-ranking officials, there will be no innocent people.

He lifted the box.

He glanced at the luxurious office he had come out of.

The office had obviously been ransacked.

There was another body on the ground.

Obviously, he was the loser in the argument just now.

Yaoguang retracted his gaze and said, "I'll avenge you. Deal done."

Then, he took off his blood-stained clothes, picked up the box, and went downstairs.

When he saw that the danger was over, he no longer armed himself.

He threw away his gun, followed the flow of people and left Qingyu Industrial Park.

Less than half an hour after he left the industrial park, dozens of armed pickup trucks equipped with machine guns and a few infantry fighting vehicles drove into the park and quickly conducted an "anti-terrorism" drill.

Further away, a police car from the Jade Country was whizzing by with sirens blaring.

But at this moment, Yaoguang has arrived at the outskirts of Guangming City.

His walking speed didn't seem fast, but he actually walked five or six kilometers in half an hour.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Guangming City, he took a ride and headed straight to the cross-strait border.

It was only when he reached the critical juncture that he suddenly realized something.

It seems that he did not leave the country through formal channels.

At this moment, he heard a surprised shout beside his ears: "Young Master Su."

Then, Zhang Qing hurriedly put the two unfinished steamed buns into the bag and threw it aside. He rubbed his hands and wiped the oil on his clothes while quickly coming over.

Yaoguang was a little surprised to see him.

"Is Su Shao's business... done?"

He wasn't sure whether he should care.

"Ah."

Yaoguang said, "Go back."

"Okay, Mr. Su, please come this way."

Zhang Qing said quickly.

At that moment, the two of them passed the checkpoint again and came to Zhang Qing's car opposite.

"Take me to the hotel."

Yaoguang said.

After a moment, he thought of something and said, "Let's go to Tianjianfang again."

"Mr. Su likes swords? Want to buy a weapon?"

Zhang Qing said, introducing: "I have specially inquired about it recently. The Mijiade Collection Museum established in Yulong International has a famous sword in its collection, named Chengying. It is said to be a thousand-year-old sword. Its history can be traced back to the Lost Age. What is surprising is that the sword forged a thousand years ago cannot be damaged by some alloy weapons refined by modern technology. Do you want to go and see it, Mr. Su?"

"Famous sword?"

Yaoguang repeated this word.

Martial arts have flourished in this world since ancient times.

The corresponding magical weapons also occupy a great deal of space in history.

Many magical weapons are promoted through rhetoric to make them seem shocking and seem to have the power to destroy cities and countries.

In this case, the term "famous sword" is not groundless, but has a strict evaluation system.

Above the famous swords, there are treasured swords and divine swords. Divine weapons and precious instruments are sold at high prices, often costing hundreds of millions, tens of billions, or even tens of billions.

The famous sword compared to it is slightly cheaper.

Prices start at tens of millions.

Some extremely famous swords can be sold for hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars.

"An ancient sword?"

Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"it is good."

Zhang Qing drove the car quickly.

Yaoguang sat in the back, closed his eyes, and looked like he was taking a rest.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing drove slower and played some soothing music.

However, at this moment, Yaoguang was concentrating his mind on the tree-like search engine in his spiritual world.

Several pieces of information have been refreshed here at this moment.

One kills a third-level medium-level horned demon, and two kill a third-level superior-level horned demon.

also……

[Transaction income: 4688, the first-level merchant branch gained nutrients for growth... Since the main trunk has absorbed all the nutrients, the growth has stopped.]

Yaoguang focused on this message.

The profit of 4688 million is higher than the nutrients obtained by killing the third-level superior horned demon.

It was worth it for him to make a special trip to the main building.

"In addition to trading gains, the growth of merchant experience is also related to the cost of investment. The cost of my investment this time... the human cost of a master, the material cost of a sword worth 500,000 yuan, and the final profit is several times..."

Yaoguang felt a little regretful when he thought about this.

In the [Merchant] calculation mode, the manpower cost of the Grandmaster is too high.

Moreover, as his cultivation level increases, the labor cost will become higher and higher.

Unless he can make money without doing anything, otherwise...

Even the profit of 4688 million is not as much as the income from slaying demons.

"The nutrients gained from merchants and demon hunting combined..."

Yaoguang focused his gaze on the branches of [Warrior].

The next moment, nutrients from the two branches were injected at the same time.

The branch representing the Warrior suddenly grew vigorously, and the ancient tree also broke through the four-meter height, and continued to grow to four meters and one meter, four meters and two meters...

It was not until it reached 4.3 meters that its growth slowed down a little.

As the branches of [Warrior] grew and transformed, a lot of information emerged in Yaoguang's mind.

This time this information is no longer limited to the Grandmaster, but is focused on the Martial Saint!
What is a Martial Saint?
Washing the marrow and changing the blood is what it takes to be a Martial Saint!
Once this step of practice is completed, the practitioner is no longer human.

It can do many things that are said to be beyond the reach of human beings.

Whether it's strength, speed, resistance to blows, or internal strength, they will all reach a whole new level.

and……

At the beginning, all he got in his mind was how to efficiently cleanse the marrow and exchange blood. Later on, the information transmitted from the ancient tree even involved nourishing the spirit with Qi.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the martial arts world: "train your muscles, bones and skin externally, and your breath internally."

The practice of martial arts is to train a person's essence and energy.

That is, physique, qi and blood.

Before reaching the Grandmaster level, one must have a strong physique.

The realm of Martial Saint, tempering the Qi and blood.

But according to Taoist theory, the human body has three treasures: essence, energy and spirit.

Only when these three are combined can the human body evolve.

The Martial Saint's Way also initially touches upon this concept.

It involves the mysterious "God".

Use Qi to nourish the spirit.

If one succeeds in cultivating the spirit, not only will one be energetic at all times, but one's reactions will also become more sensitive. This can also enhance individual perception and even produce all sorts of magical powers that are hard for ordinary people to imagine.

If no matter how much you practice blood exchange and marrow cleansing, you can only master physical attack abilities that ordinary people can understand, then after you have mastered the spiritual cultivation...

What is deduced is a "supernatural power" that ordinary people cannot explain by science.

"repose."

Yaoguang said in his heart.

Is this the key to reaching a realm above that of a Martial Saint?
pity……

His current [Fourth Order Martial Saint] has just sprouted and has not yet blossomed. Converted into progress, it is only around 30% at best. Obviously, he cannot obtain more "nourishing the spirit" information.

If you want to master the magical power of "God", you may have to push your Martial Saint progress to 70% before you can have hope.

"soon."

Yaoguang said in his heart.

At the same time, look in one direction.

Yulong International.

There……

There is another demon!
"Jingle Bell!"

At this moment, Yaoguang's cell phone rang.

He took a look...

It turned out to be "Lin Xiaowei" calling?

An inspector from the Yunmeng City task force?
He didn't understand, but after thinking it over, he answered the call.

As soon as the phone was connected, Lin Xiaowei's voice came: "Where are you in Shanlong City now? I think we should meet."
