I Have A Martial Dao World

Seeing her two accomplices drop dead on the ground, Huang Jiani completely panicked, subconsciously looking for the black line on her body, but she couldn't find it anywhere!

When she ran to the mirror, she saw that the black line hadn't spread towards her chest but instead was snaking down her shoulder, collarbone, and creeping up to her neck, heading towards her head!

"Ah!!!!"

Huang Jiani screamed in terror, her hands trembling as she unlocked her phone and dialed 120.

After connecting, she cried out in horror, "Help! Save me!!!

This cry, enough to startle heaven and earth and move ghosts and spirits, pierced through the soundproofing of the five-star hotel, and footsteps could already be heard in the hallway.

~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao bought an ice cream cone and ate it as he walked.

He had channeled his Inner Breath into the three individuals, setting it to activate in about 1 hour.

But just as he threw the ice cream wrapper into the trash can, an ambulance arrived with sirens blaring.

"It's only been half an hour, what kind of strenuous activity did they engage in?"

By the time he got back to the hotel entrance, he just saw a group of people carrying three naked men and women wrapped in bedsheets downstairs.

Ah Ren and A Jie's faces were bruised blue and purple, no longer needing resuscitation.

Huang Jiani's eyes were wide open in terror, half her face normal, while the other half drooped as if it had lost control.

This was a sign of hemiplegia.

The doctors who arrived said, "Two cardiac arrests died on the spot, the cerebral infarction patient has impaired consciousness, prepare the operating room for rescue..."

A few onlookers commented in amazement, "Strange indeed, two men battling one woman!"

"Those two men, it's said they died of heart attacks from overdosing on aphrodisiacs, scaring the woman to death!"

"All three of them in their forties and still playing so wild, thinking they're young."

~~~~~~~~~~

"So it was indeed strenuous activity, no wonder it took only half an hour to take effect."

What Lu Yao didn't know was that the stimulant drugs the two men had taken also played a significant role.

"'Inner Breath,' which is of great benefit to the body, can actually kill without a trace, truly amazing."

Inner Breath can strengthen and refine muscles, internal organs, and even bone marrow and is the core of cultivation.

Taking tonic drugs is essentially to generate more Inner Breath for cultivation.

Lu Yao's rapid growth was thanks to Liao Qe channeling Inner Breath into him gently every day. The sensation was incredibly comfortable and blissful, often sending him directly into a deep meditative state.

Yet this delightful "Inner Breath" could have such a malevolent effect, easily damaging the body's internal organs.

Contemplating the wonder of Inner Breath, Lu Yao quickly finished his ice cream and turned to leave.

~~~~~~~

Arriving home, although he anticipated some chaos from the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, as soon as he opened the door, he found a sheep.

The poor sheep had its spine twisted and broken by sharp claws, lying powerless on the living room floor, looking up at Lu Yao as he entered.

"Where did this sheep come from???"

Looking at the three sparrowhawks, he saw Ji Xiang and Ping An standing on the couch, well away from the scene.

Ru Yi seemed proud, flapping its wings as if waiting for its master's praise.

Lu Yao smiled wryly, rubbing his forehead. He'd left the windows wide open to facilitate their coming and going, but he hadn't expected Ru Yi to bring back a sheep.

The three sparrowhawks had distinct personalities: Ping An was brave and keen; Ji Xiang was cunning and sly, often taking advantage when the other two were fiercely competing to snatch the newspaper; Ru Yi, on the other hand, was somewhat dull-witted.

Lu Yao was quite fond of the three, and thus didn't rebuke or punish them.

The Spiritual Sparrowhawks quickly gathered around, nibbling at their owner's hand with their beaks to signal for a soothing massage.

In just 10 minutes, Lu Yao had all three of them lying on the ground with their eyes rolling back, instantly behaving themselves.

He then used the remaining Inner Breath to cultivate himself.

After being washed with Inner Breath, bone marrow would turn into frost-like "Sinew-Strengthening Frost," but it would revert to its original state after a while.

Therefore, one must ensure the "speed of Sinew-Strengthening exceeds the recovery speed" to succeed. In theory, as long as one's cultivation was unbroken, anyone could undergo a Blood-Exchange.

It's just that some people might need over a hundred years...

~~~~~~~~

Exhaling a turbid breath as his Inner Breath was depleted, Lu Yao thought:

"I completed the Sinew-Strengthening in 2 years, which is already among the top tier. It's a pity that time is not on my side, and I need to be even faster! The extraction of supplements is imperative. This was part of the plan made long ago."

At that moment, a knock on the door came. Lu Yao waved his hand, and the three sparrowhawks, showing their Spiritual nature, instantly flew out the window and soared into the sky.

Ru Yi even took the sheep it had caught. Since the master wasn't eating it, there was no point in wasting it.

Upon opening the door, there stood Li Lei.

Li Lei entered the room with a face full of surprise and doubt.

"Did you do this? Two heart attacks, one stroke... and they all happened naturally?"

Right after she gave Lu Yao the address, the three con artists suffered from their illnesses on the spot and simultaneously at that. It didn't seem like a mere coincidence.

Li Lei pressed on, "How did you do it... The old man just went to visit his old lover in the hospital. That female con artist was left with severe complications, a lifetime of intellectual impairment, and hemiplegia."

"It was me. I used some rather special methods," Lu Yao replied nonchalantly:

"Although we have a relatively close relationship, you've always lacked understanding of me. I am not a benevolent person. Recently, I've also offended the Foreign Affairs Bureau and am being hunted. You could likely become involved. For your own safety, it would be best to keep your distance from me."

Hearing these unguarded words, Li Lei was stunned and took a while to process what she had heard.

The two looked at each other in silence, with only the ticking of the clock's second hand filling the air.

Although Lu Yao despised the Foreign Affairs Bureau, it was, after all, Blue Star's premier intelligence organization, and he did not want to bring trouble upon the young woman.

Li Lei said in a muffled voice, "After all that, you're a spy or something?"

"Close enough..."

The young woman sighed and said, "I've already transferred the cash you gave me into your account. The extraction of the medication will be done in two days, and the old man has completely abandoned his old lover, fully dedicating himself to research."

"Alright, thank you," Lu Yao replied with a smile, nodding his head. He thought that ending things this way wouldn't be so bad, but then he saw the young woman starting to undress.

"Wait a second, didn't I tell you to keep your distance..."

"You contact me once in over a month, and you still expect me to keep my distance? What, should I see you once a quarter?!"

Li Lei quickly pushed Lu Yao onto the bed, "To hell with the Foreign Affairs Bureau, let them come to Xia Country if they dare."

~~~~~~~~

The next day, Lu Yao received an express delivery from Li Jin at the neighborhood supermarket.

Knowing that he was in a hurry, the sender had used the "next day delivery" service.

Upon opening it, he found the contents resembled a brick in shape, though thinner, about as thick as a palm.

The solid appearance felt reassuring, and after inserting his card and turning it on, Lu Yao found it was not difficult to operate and quickly learned how to use it.

After downloading a few common apps, he discovered there was over 40 million in his account.

The two big bags of money he had brought back contained over 4 million Star Alliance currency, which Li Lei had helped deposit into his account. Even after all sorts of taxes and fees, there was still 20 million left.

Adding to the money he already had, and after giving the Spiritual Sparrowhawks a glance, Lu Yao decided to buy a detached villa to avoid drawing attention to their comings and goings.
