I Have A Martial Dao World
Chapter 610: 609. Harvest and Return
Lu Yao pulled out a metal pillar from the ground that was a hundred meters tall, and the number of spiritual machines inside was more than three times that of the Giant World.
Together with those extracted from the smaller metal pillars, the total harvest this time was five times that of the Giant World.
At first glance, it seemed Han Zhong had great ability, extracting far more spiritual machines than Lu Yao.
But in reality, it was not so. Every time Lu Yao used Divine Travel, it only took three days, whereas Han Zhong had been laying out his plans in this world for decades; the two men's efficiency was completely on different levels.
The reason was that Lu Yao had the support of Blue Star Willpower, enabling him to exert tremendous combat power even without a physical body, especially since he was unafraid of being surrounded and attacked.
Other Spirit Refinement experts either snatched a handful and ran away like rats crossing the street or sneakily set up their schemes in the dark, so naturally their efficiency was nowhere near as high.
At that moment, all the fruits of Han Zhong's hard work over the years were taken advantage of by Lu Yao.
He absorbed some of the willpower from this harvest into his Divine Soul, and as for the remainder that couldn't be accommodated, he placed it along with the metal pillars into the Space-Time Bubble.
It was just the right time to research the workings of these metal pillars.
The heritage of the Divine Land had been cut off, and for many things, Lu Yao could only rely on the fragmented information in ancient texts to conduct his research.
For instance, how to create Magical Treasures and how to repair the formidable Golden Statues left by Ying Zheng.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao flipped through the remnants of the "combined Golden Statues of the Eight Great Grandmasters of Qing."
Han Zhong and Ying Zheng were contemporaries, and their methods had many similarities; their Golden Statues were a bit alike, which was perfect for referencing.
Just as Lu Yao was gleaming many insights as he observed, footsteps were heard nearby.
It turned out to be Shi Jingyan approaching, he knelt down respectfully and said:
"The mortal from the lower realm, Shi Jingyan, pays his respects to the Supreme Immortal! I wish the Supreme Immortal victory in every battle and the banishment of all evil."
"It's you…" Lu Yao glanced at him and nodded approvingly, saying:
"You do have talent, having understood a bit of the True Qi I gave you."
The top-notch adept of this native land had internal "internal force" that was now somewhat shadowed by "True Qi." His physique was much stronger than before, already able to withstand pistol bullets.
This was not a transformation, but a combination of both that had carved out its own path, one that was most suitable for this world.
Shi Jingyan became even more respectful: "Thank you for your cultivation, great Immortal, and even more for saving my life! Jingyan has nothing to repay your kindness with, willing to serve you as if a horse or ox, at your beck and call!"
At this time, several other powerful native experts, whose abilities were no less than Shi Jingyan's, also came over, wanting to talk.
Lu Yao said, "If you want to repay me, just go and kill off all the upper class of the Qing Empire. I prefer not to deal with mortals myself."
Shi Jingyan immediately replied, "I shall obey your decree! I will do this if it's the last thing I do, even if it costs me my life!"
As he spoke, Lu Yao actually sensed a surge of exceedingly devout willpower and could not help but smile inwardly.
Just then, the one hundred thousand Eight Banners Elite Soldiers in the distance became restless.
With their eyes witnessing "Divine Manifestation of the White Deer" and the eight Grandmasters dead, they were already in a state of panic.
Lu Yao aimed at the Imperial City and launched a technique from "Supreme Taiyi Thunderclap Hand".
A blast wave roared out, and amidst the earth-shaking noise, the city wall was blown open to create a gap large enough for two trucks to pass side by side, with countless debris flying into the sky along with bricks and stones.
Immediately, the morale of the Eight Banners Elite Soldiers collapsed, and they scrambled to flee, even trampling over each other in their haste.
Shi Jingyan, who had felt the application of True Qi up close, gained a deeper insight and was eager to test it out in real combat.
He held his lance and bowed with a fist, then took advantage of the chaos to kill his way into the city.
The few other native experts who had just come over followed suit, thinking this would please the Immortal.
Lu Yao sprinkled a handful of spiritual machines toward Shi Jingyan to help him shine in the upcoming battles, and the other experts also got a little smeared with it.
After all this, Lu Yao no longer bothered with these matters and went to find a quiet place to charge the Star Key.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Compared to the tumultuous Ming Dynasty World, Jing Yi Garden was a picture of tranquil times.
At this moment, Lu Yao and her three sworn enemies were each holding a tablet, studying in the study room.
Lu Yao stared at the educational video on the tablet with utmost seriousness, taking notes from time to time, having self-taught up to the fourth grade level.
The three little demons, on the other hand, were much more lax, with Twisty constantly squirming, unable to sit still.
Later, Ji Xiang somehow discovered games on the tablet, and that became an uncontrollable obsession, with sounds of arcade game emulators constantly coming from the classroom.
...
With the noise flooding her ears, Lu Yao clenched the pen in her hand, and unable to bear it any longer, she finally spoke up,
"Aren't you three afraid of being blamed by our master when he returns if you don't study properly?"
Ji Xiang laughed, "What's the rush? Let's play for a while."
The other two girls were even less responsive, engrossed in their play, with Ru Yi's face almost glued to the screen.
Lu Yao snorted and said no more, determined to tattle to their master once he returned.
Ji Xiang then approached her with an inexplicable smile and even had the audacity to sit on Lu Yao's desk and cross her legs.
Lu Yao said coldly, "What do you want?"
Looking down at her, Ji Xiang chuckled, "Are you thinking of tattling again? You've been like this since you were little, always 'I'm going to tell Uncle Master'."
Ru Yi chimed in from the side, "The snitch who's quick to report~"
Lu Yao argued with reason, "It's you who did something wrong first and wouldn't listen to reason."
Ji Xiang smirked and said, "So, if you do something wrong, can I snitch on you~"
"What have I done wrong?"
Seeing Lu Yao's annoyed expression, Ji Xiang dropped a bombshell,
"I'm going to report to your master that as a disciple, you've harbored inappropriate thoughts toward your own Uncle Master~"
Ru Yi continued to egg on, scratching her face and saying, "Shame, shame, shame~"
Hearing the two little demons' words, Lu Yao's face instantly turned red all the way to her neck, and even her ears were flushed, "You're talking nonsense... I, I didn't..."
Ru Yi laughed even more joyfully, swinging her long legs,
"You didn't? Stop fooling around. Well then~ I'll just go and report this to Liao Ya and let her decide~"
With that, she pretended to stand up and leave the room.
Lu Yao immediately panicked and quickly held onto her, "Don't you..."
Some things just can't stand scrutiny, and Lu Yao was so embarrassed and flustered that she didn't know what to do with herself.
Only then did Ru Yi proudly say, "How about that~ Are you scared? Dare you still snitch now~"
Lu Yao bit down on her silver teeth, shaking her head, while inwardly cursing the damn pests, vowing to remember this grudge.
Then, Ru Yi proudly returned to her seat to continue playing her game.
Afterwards, the room reverted to its original state.
Lu Yao, preoccupied with her own thoughts, no longer had the mood to study: "After the New Year I'll be 15... And soon it will be time to advance to the Innate Realm."
Right at that moment, the four girls simultaneously looked up towards the outside of the room, as a familiar aura entered Jing Yi Garden; Lu Yao had returned!
