I Have A Martial Dao World

```

Otherworld, Jin Garden.

Lu Yao came back carrying two large bags of snacks he had bought from the supermarket.

This time, he was primarily back to get money. Yukolun, regardless of whether it was the underworld or legitimate business, preferred dealing in cash because it left no records to trace.

Lu Yao liked this too; he still had two tons of cash with nowhere to spend it, so waiting for Sanna to do her Kung Fu was the perfect opportunity to take some.

Another reason was to ask his senior sister for help checking his body. He felt that he was just a whisker away from cleansing his marrow—almost as if separated by a mere paper-thin barrier.

He faintly heard some noise coming from the training ground, the sisters must be there. When he went over to look, Liao Qe was practicing her boxing, and Liao Ya was on the phone, chatting away.

Liao Qe wiped the sweat off her brow and greeted him, "You're back~"

Seeing her sweat-soaked clothes, Lu Yao asked with a smile, "Working pretty hard, aren't you?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "You're about to cleanse your marrow, I can't be left behind~ I've always been at a higher realm than you~"

As she spoke, she took the pile of snacks from him, her face breaking into a sweet smile.

Noticing Lu Yao looking towards the phone, the girl explained, "Sister talks to the Commandery Princess on the phone every day."

Lu Yao said with a laugh, "Those two really hit it off."

By this time, Liao Ya had noticed the commotion here, quickly said a few words, then hung up and ran over.

"Sister is back. Just now, Sister Li Pei said that—her master is coming in a few days, and she will give us guidance on our cultivation!"

Liao Qe exclaimed, "Her master? It's 'Moonshadow Sword' Yu Yanmei!"

Liao Ya looked extremely excited, "An Innate Realm Grandmaster; just one piece of advice from her could save us endless hard work and help us avoid many detours!"

Liao Qe asked curiously, "What's Grandmaster Yu coming for?"

Liao Ya thought for a moment and whispered, "It's probably about the issue with the Dadhi Sect. She wants to come and check on her disciple along the way."

"The Imperial Court is going to focus on eradicating the Dadhi Sect?"

After a bit of gossip, Liao Ya turned her attention back to Lu Yao. She took out the Color Ultrasound Instrument to help with the checkup, while also transferring Inner Breath to assist in the examination.

After a good while, she expressed sincere joy, "Everything looks great, it won't be long before you officially enter the Marrow-Cleansing Realm!"

This was tremendous news! The Marrow-Cleansing Realm was a high level in any place, and starting a military career was at least a 7th-rank martial position.

The two sisters seemed even happier than Lu Yao himself, and they congratulated him together with a fist salute, "Congratulations in advance, Lu, the Marrow-Cleansing Martial Master."

Lu Yao returned the salute with a smile, "Thank you to both of my senior sisters for nurturing me, this junior brother will surely repay you greatly in the future~"

~~~~~~~~~

After the laughter and joviality, Lu Yao took advantage of a quiet moment to sit in the pavilion by the lake and read the newspaper, catching up on what had happened during the days he was away.

Internationally, tensions between Einheit and Jiade had escalated sharply, with both sides fiercely contending for colonial territories and control over the seas, sparking numerous conflicts.

And it wasn't just these two; there were frequent clashes between other great powers, as these bandits held grudges against each other.

"Let them start fighting~"

Lu Yao blessed them maliciously with that wish. The World War was about bandits fighting over an uneven split, and given the greedy nature of the powers, it was only a matter of time.

Domestically, the Imperial Court was indeed preparing to deal with the Dadhi Sect.

When the Allied Forces invaded previously, the Dadhi Sect hadn't stayed idle either, sending troops on a "Northern Expedition."

But for some reason, the core figures of the sect didn't appear, and the troops were easily repelled.

Currently, the Imperial Court was assembling its forces, but... the Great Grandmasters of the Indestructible Golden Body Realm followed their own rules and did not heed summonses.

And with continuous indemnities, the Imperial Court's finances were very tight; they had recently been in a frenzy of "selling official positions," where anyone could become an officer as long as they paid, with each position clearly priced.

The newspaper published an interesting piece:

```

A certain Mr. Jiang wanted to buy a position as a Magistrate but was strapped for cash. In a stroke of genius while worrying about money, he gathered four friends to pool funds for buying official posts. They even signed a contract specifying that the one who contributed the most money would become the County Magistrate, and the second most would become the Judicial Commissioner, with the rest following suit, thus forming the "Money-making Vanguard Team"…

One can only imagine what sort of affairs such officials could manage.

Lu Yao found it both laughable and tragic, and she felt sorrow for the era.

"The Great Shun Dynasty is nearly working itself to death… But even the worst order is better than no order at all, so let the Imperial Court hold on for a while longer."

"I wonder in which direction the currents of the age will flow in the Otherworld."

~~~~~~~~

Just then, a high-pitched screech sounded as Ping An flew in, flapping its wings.

Just as Lu Yao reached out to catch it, she quickly dodged when she saw what it held in its beak.

Ping An had a half-dead rabbit in its mouth and laid it on the stone table in front of Lu Yao, as if presenting him with something to eat in an appealing manner.

"Haha, you keep it for yourself."

After thanking Ping An for its kindness, Lu Yao rewarded it with a Wisdom Spirit Pill.

Ping An gulped it down and flapped its wings joyously. Its size grew even larger, measuring half a meter in length with a wingspan of over a meter, looking extremely majestic in every glance.

Lu Yao stroked the feathers on Ping An's neck, and in return, Ping An affectionately nuzzled him twice and chirped before soaring back into the sky.

~~~~~~~

Lu Yao also stood up, ready to return to Blue Star for his appointment.

In the warehouse, two tons of neatly piled banknotes exuded a weighty presence that would have overwhelmed any ordinary person.

Lu Yao found a large travel bag and stuffed it with over a million.

"Yukolun is riddled with corruption from top to bottom and is also broke, this money should be more than enough to bribe the factory officials. Just let them build whatever I want on-demand!" he contemplated with ambition, holding a big bag of money just as he opened the Space-Time Gate. At that moment, Ping An, which had flown away, suddenly returned with half a snake in its mouth.

Being quite spiritual, it noticed its master didn't eat the half rabbit, so it brought a different 'dish' and eagerly presented it right up to his face.

The timing couldn't have been better, leaving Lu Yao with no choice but to take Ping An back to Blue Star with him.

~~~~~~~~~

Ping An seemed completely at ease upon arriving at Blue Star, curiously looking around while perched on its master's shoulder.

Kiev in October was already quite cold, and it was early in the morning with the temperature at only 5 degrees.

Ping An, a spirit born on the frigid high plateaus, especially enjoyed the cold environment.

After swallowing the snake that its master had disdained, Ping An soared gracefully into the high sky, flying about joyously.

Watching it fly freely lifted Lu Yao's spirits considerably, and he took some extra time to play with it until Sanna called.

"Sanna, I hope you're bringing me good news."

"Yes, sir. I've made contact with a… technician from Marshal Factory who's ready to meet anytime."

"Good job, let's go meet him now."

~~~~~~~~~

Sanna picked up Lu Yao in her car, and the two headed together to Marshal's Tank Factory.

The young lady was still dressed provocatively, seemingly not minding the cold at all, wearing only a black "nightclub dress" that left much of her chest exposed and her face heavily made up.

The car she drove was also quite interesting—a Geely Emgrand. Moreover, there were many of the same model along the way; this domestic car seemed to be selling quite well in Yukolun.

Upon arriving at the tank factory, Lu Yao saw that it was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, a sight of desolation and decay.

It was nothing like the heavily guarded armament factory he had imagined. Only the T34 tank and the statue of a National Hero standing tall at the factory's entrance testified to its once glorious past.
