Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Just a moment ago, the aberration of the ancient tree within his spiritual world drew his perception.

He glanced at it and was shocked to discover that the nutrients attributed to the "Businessman" were surging dramatically.

The increase was so great that not even the combined forces of the demons from Yulong International and Qingyu Industrial Park had achieved such a rise.

If he poured these nutrients into any branch other than the Martial Path, he could immediately raise those professions to at least the Third Rank.

It was for this reason that he had directly inquired about the nature of the gift from the giver.

This question caused Yue Xingzhou to pause.

Even the woman who accompanied him could not help but glance at him.

It seemed as if…

Shallow.

Nonetheless, Yue Xingzhou responded with a smile, "I heard the Su Family is purchasing a batch of high-quality medicinal ingredients for you, and as it happens, our Yue Family has a stockpile. I selected some and brought them over."

He gestured to the driver beside him.

The driver quickly understood, bringing over a box.

"In addition, when you were fighting enemies yesterday, I noticed you seemed to be without a Battle Garment. The influence of modern Battle Garments on physical agility is now very minor. Unlike the early versions of bulletproof vests and armor that were considered, they allow full flexibility for Martial Artists. Therefore, I have also brought you a set of Battle Garment," he said.

He opened the box right away.

Inside was a set of deep chestnut Battle Garments, along with its various components laid out.

"This is the most advanced 1S grade Red Gold Battle Armor from Red Star Nation. Apart from its strong material, it is also equipped with Red Star's newly developed 'Divine Martial' support combat system, which can effectively aid in searching for hidden targets, analyzing ballistic trajectories, and more."

Yue Xingzhou said this with a smile: "Of course, this auxiliary combat system isn't very useful when fighting against Martial Artists of the same realm. It mainly minimizes the damage from stray bullets and friendly fire on chaotic battlefields. Grandmaster level life-and-death battles often rely purely on instinct, and by the time you see a prompt and counterattack, the fight is already over."

"1S grade Battle Garment?"

Alkaid was taken aback.

His expression betrayed his surprise.

He had only just learned about the marketed Battle Garments this morning, with the S grade being the highest. And now…

The Yue Family had sent over a set of S grade Red Gold Battle Armor?

"Besides these, here's a bottle of Snow Ginseng Pills."

Yue Xingzhou said, "The prerequisite for advancing from Grandmaster to Martial Saint is having sufficiently robust internal organs to provide enough digestive power, detoxification capacity, and energy transfer, ultimately concentrating in the heart to enhance its transport capability. Forming this internal cycle is vital, and the energy intake is crucial.

Snow Ginseng Pills have an exceptionally good effect in this aspect."

"I know," Alkaid had seen these Elixirs before.

But…

He had not included them in his routine cultivation materials because…

They were too expensive.

With a market price of ten billion,

Availability wasn't always guaranteed.

If he wanted to acquire them quickly, he'd have to pay a premium.

"Moreover, although this villa of yours is not small, practicing martial arts is best done in a professional setting. It just so happens I have a Martial Hall under my name. It's not far from your Yu Garden, less than one kilometer away. The materials used for the Martial Hall's decoration are of the highest quality, and the training facilities are also up to Grandmaster standards.

Feel free to use it to train whenever you have time," Yue Xingzhou offered with a smile.

"Here is the transfer agreement for the Martial Hall; it is currently open to the public. It doesn't make much profit, but it's breaking even, with my granddaughter Yumo running it. If you think she's not capable enough, feel free to replace her."

"One kilometer? Shanshui Martial Hall."

Lei Yun was astounded to herself.

That Martial Hall was one of the most famous in the capital, covering a large area.

Although its heritage was somewhat less than that of some ancient halls, it was highly popular.

It was known for hiring many young and attractive male and female Martial Artists as coaches and had invested a considerable amount in new media operations. It was a must-visit spot for Martial Arts enthusiasts, sports fans, and fitness professionals coming to the capital.

"That's all of them," said Yue Xingzhou.

A bottle of Snow Ginseng Pills, ten billion.

S grade Red Gold Battle Armor, one and a half billion in Red Star Currency, equivalent to the price of the most advanced fighter jet on the market.

But getting one's hands on such Battle Armor required not just funds but also connections.

If it was indeed sold to Dayu Country, a surcharge would be inevitable. Calculated in Dayu Currency, the price could soar to sixteen or even eighteen billion without surprise.

Due to its large area, the Shanshui Martial Hall was also quite expensive, between eight to ten billion.

The remaining batch of medicinal ingredients…

They were the most plentiful and the heaviest, but paradoxically, they were the least valuable.

At most, they were worth five or six billion.

By this reckoning, the value of the gifts Yue Xingzhou had brought was no less than forty billion.

No wonder the "Businessman" experience had surged so dramatically.

"Truly a generous gift," Alkaid commented.

"I do not consider my life to be worth a mere forty billion," Yue Xingzhou said with a smile.

"Much appreciated. I will accept the gifts," Alkaid nodded.

These items were indeed very useful to him,

Especially the Snow Ginseng Pills.

A single pill could save him a month of grueling practice.

It was equal to a month of his cultivation.

In other words, what normally would take two months to achieve the Martial Saint realm could now be halved.

Following this, the conversation between the two became noticeably warmer.

An hour later, Yue Xingzhou stood up to take his leave.

"Since you don't plan to change personnel, you can directly coordinate with Yumo about the Martial Hall matters," he stated, smiling at the woman beside him. "Alkaid is much stronger than me. If he can teach you a move or two, it will surely benefit you for life. Even achieving the Martial Master level through Muscle-Tendon Strengthening should not be a problem. Make sure you perform well."

"Yes, Grandfather," the woman, Yue Yumo, responded, then turned to Alkaid with a slight bow, "If Mr. Su needs anything in the future, please feel free to command me."

Alkaid nodded.

As the group stepped out of the door, the martial master responsible for driving and carrying items seemed to have whispered something into Yue Xingzhou's ear.

After hearing it, Yue Xingzhou turned his head to look at Alkaid, "I've heard that Zhang Mingde has been somewhat unable to distinguish the importance of his actions lately. It just so happens that I have evidence of Zhang Mingde being corrupt and bending the law.

Although some of his actions are excusable, to ensure the integrity of the local authorities, we commoners must oversee the illegal and disciplinary violations... What do you think, brother Alkaid?"

"Zhang Mingde?"

Alkaid was taken aback.

Who is this?

A member of the Zhang Family?

He glanced at Lei Yun beside him.

Lei Yun felt a bit shocked but, realizing the inquiring gaze from Alkaid, she quickly whispered, "The head of the Tian Nan Development Authority is named Zhang Mingde."

Not a member of the Zhang Family?

Whatever, whether he's from the Zhang Family or not, since there is evidence of corruption, just send it in.

"That's only right."

Alkaid nodded.

"Deserving of being recognized by Xia's prosecutors, your values are upright."

Yue Xingzhou smiled and said, "Then that's settled."

Lei Yun, standing aside, took a deep breath.

The head of Tian Nan Development Authority...

Not to mention Tian Nan's capital, he is in the entire Tian Nan Province an unequivocal big shot.

He's just a step away from truly entering the upper echelons of Dayu.

Yet such an individual's destiny was determined by a brief conversation between Alkaid and Yue Xingzhou.

She had no doubt about the Yue Family's capabilities.

A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

Don't look at how the Yue Family is being severely suppressed by Wei Kongming and Lu Zhenhai, but what level are these two individuals?

High-ranking officials.

Governing a province.

And they carry direct authorizations from the Royal Family.

Even such high-level personnel had to join forces to suppress the Yue Family's aura, which shows the strength of the Yue Family.

Zhang Mingde is no match for the Yue Family.

Yue Xingzhou left soon after.

Alkaid returned to his dwelling and immediately took out the Snow Ginseng Pill.

"I'm going to try this billion per pill elixir to see if it lives up to its reputation. Don't let anyone disturb me."

Alkaid said.

"Yes."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Lei Yun replied, then hastily asked, "Should we inform the Family Head about this matter?"

"You decide, but be sure to weigh the delicate balance between kinship and estrangement."

Alkaid instructed.

"Understood."

Lei Yun quickly complied.

Alkaid then went to his personal cultivation room.

After half an hour of adjusting his physical condition, he directly took out a Snow Ginseng Pill and swallowed it.

When the elixir entered his body, he could distinctly feel a burning, robust energy circulating inside him, permeating every corner of his internal organs.

Having reached the Fifth Rank in the Divine Martial Realm, he could precisely control his digestive system to absorb the medicinal power and maximize its utilization.

At the same time, he squeezed his own potential, forcibly climbing the limit of his internal organs' endurance, and even operated his blood circulation technique to speed up the circulation of medicinal power.

Three hours later.

He had refined most of the medicinal power of the Snow Ginseng Pill.

The enhancement effect was immediate.

"It seems my estimate is quite accurate, one month."

Alkaid thought to himself.

However, his own understanding of the Grandmasters' Cleansing Marrow technique could already be said to be peak level, so predicting the timeframe to break through to Martial Saint in a day wasn't surprising.

"Now that my cultivation is on track, next is the distribution of experience."

Alkaid focused his mind on his Spiritual World.

[Martial Path] [Demon Hunter] [Businessman] [Artifact Refining]

The branches that grew from the four main stems complemented each other's splendor.

Hmm.

Alkaid carefully examined the [Martial Path] branch, which was almost as thick as the main stem, then glanced at the other three branches that seemed somewhat underdeveloped...

The phrase 'complement each other's splendor' seemed a bit inaccurate.

"This time, the nutrients might not be enough to elevate [Martial Path] to the mysterious and unknown Sixth Rank, but if used on the other three professions, they could grow to at least the Third Rank..."

His gaze lingered on the other three branches for a moment.

He was personally more partial to the [Artifact Refining] branch.

The strength of a martial artist not only depends on oneself but also includes equipment.

The Artifact Refining profession could clearly make up for this deficiency.

Therefore...

"That's decided."

The next moment...

The progress of the [Martial Path] branch surged rapidly, charging towards an 80% completion rate.

Being strong is enough.

Being a jack of all trades is inferior to being a master of one.

As long as he is powerful, would he still fear not being able to "trade" for suitable equipment?

Continuing to stack [Martial Path] is the true path.
