"Don't move, let me check."
Ling Yun placed his hand on her waist, and his Blazing Sun True Qi slowly seeped into it.
Having reached the Innate Realm, his control over true qi has reached the master level, and he is not far from becoming a grandmaster.
Strictly speaking, he already possessed sufficient qualifications, but he was not in a hurry to break through to the Grandmaster level. Instead, he planned to break through the current realm barrier using a different method.
Foundation Building Pill!
If the "Bone Forging" to "Innate Realm" in martial arts body tempering corresponds to the "Qi Refining Stage" in cultivation methods, then the "Grandmaster Realm" corresponds to the "Foundation Building Stage".
However, there is a huge gap between Grandmaster martial artists and Foundation Establishment cultivators. If the two were to fight, the latter would probably be able to kill the former instantly.
Besides the difference in techniques, one uses "true qi" while the other uses "spiritual qi," which is a qualitative difference between the two.
The Blazing Sun Technique mentions the correspondence between the realms of martial arts and the methods of cultivating immortality, but since it is ultimately a martial arts body-refining technique, it delves very little into this aspect.
However, the "Secret Records of Immortal Physicians" contains detailed recipes for many elixirs, including the second-grade "Foundation Building Pill".
There are many types of Foundation Building Pills, and the materials required for each type are not the same.
Ling Yun wanted to use the best, and after discussing it with Xiao Ai, he finally chose the "Five Elements Foundation Pill".
The required medicinal materials correspond to the five elements and are Star Pattern Fruit, Jade Heart, Ice Heart Lotus, Crimson Crystal Fruit, and Amber Root.
These are all top-tier medicinal herbs that can be produced on Earth right now, and they are very difficult to buy even with money.
In places rich in spiritual energy, cultivators with good talent can establish their foundation on their own without needing Foundation Establishment Pills. However, this is completely impossible on Blue Star, where there is only true energy. No matter how heaven-defying your talent is, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice!
Therefore, he could only gamble with Foundation Establishment Pills. The higher the quality of the pill, the greater the success rate. The success rate of ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills was only 25%, while the success rate of Five Elements Foundation Establishment Pills was doubled.
While she was thinking, Bai Xin's sprained back had already healed.
He touched the girl's waist and then slapped her on the buttocks.
"Get up and practice properly!"
"Waaaaah... I'm being abused by my family..."
"Huh?"
Ling Yun perked up, grabbed her and pressed her onto his lap, slapping her shapely buttocks back and forth.
General's Order!
Bai Xin's cries could be heard continuously from the yoga room, but they weren't screams of pain; instead, they carried a sense of pleasure.
By the time Lingyun finished taking the photos, the girl's pants were already wet.
After being released, the girl lay on the yoga mat, her small body trembling a few times. She whimpered and buried her face in her arms.
Ling Yun thought he had gone too far, so he turned her over, intending to comfort her, but he saw the seductive look in her eyes.
"Honey, hit me a few more times!"
Chapter 205 News about medicinal herbs
It was already dark when I left the beauty salon.
Every woman has a full, round belly, her face radiant with springtime joy, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and a blissful smile on her lips.
Such beauty could only be seen by Lingyun.
Once in Ling Lan's car, Ling Shuang and Xiang Yao sat on either side of him in the back seat.
Fang Muqing was in the passenger seat, chatting idly with them.
“By the way, darling.” Fang Muqing turned to the young man, looking at him with a self-satisfied expression, “Of the medicinal herbs you asked me to collect, I’ve already used my connections to find three of them for you. As for the remaining two… I have clues, but you’ll have to give me some more time.”
Ling Yun was surprised by Fang Muqing's quick action: "Which three specifically?"
"Jade Heart, Ice Lotus, and Amber Root are expensive, but our Dragon Kingdom is the main producing area of these three medicinal herbs, so the supply is quite abundant. If you take ten of each, it will be about the same price as this car."
Tens of millions of Chinese Yuan are an amount that ordinary people could probably not accumulate in several lifetimes, but for Ling Yun now, it is just a drop in the ocean.
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"Just use the company's accounts to get it to me as soon as possible, so that the medicine's effectiveness won't be lost."
"Row."
Items placed in the space can be preserved indefinitely, and Lingyun plans to collect these three medicinal herbs as soon as possible.
The store does sell Foundation Establishment Pills, but they are quite expensive. In addition, Xiao Ai intends for Ling Yun to refine the pills himself, saying that he might gain unexpected benefits in the process.
"I've found out the clues for the other Star Pattern Fruit and Crimson Crystal Fruit for you." Fang Muqing opened her phone's memo app. "Crimson Crystal Fruit is a specialty of Sakura Empire, growing in the crater of Mount Fuji. Due to its special fire attribute, it is firmly controlled by the Ninja Alliance and is never sold to outsiders... That being said, they will definitely sell it if they have enough money, but it may require a trip to Sakura Empire."
"However, Star-Patterned Fruit is difficult to obtain. I asked around and found out that this fruit actually grows near meteorite craters. We don't have any here yet, but there is one place where it grows, although we probably can't get in right now."
A strange feeling arose in Ling Yun's heart: "Could it be in the Promised Land?"
"you guessed right."
Fang Muqing's beautiful eyes flickered. Ling Yun had wanted to go there before, but she didn't expect that it would get involved there again now.
"After these months of fermentation, the thick fog has covered most of the Promised Land, and then mysteriously stopped expanding. It has been a week since it started to spread. But as always, whether it is a technological product or a living thing, once it enters it, it will disappear without a trace."
"Star-patterned fruit is very important to me."
"I'll ask around in other places for you. There are many impact craters on Earth, so it's not bad..."
“The conditions for the formation of Star-Patterned Fruit are extremely demanding. It cannot grow near old meteorite craters. Even if a new meteorite falls from the sky now and Star-Patterned Fruit happens to grow, it will still take several years for it to mature... Mu Qing, I can’t wait that long.”
"I'll help you contact a well-known international mercenary organization."
Fang Muqing had no intention of letting Ling Yun risk going to such a terrible place: "By the way, doesn't Fu Xiang have the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group? Let them go..."
“They’ll only die if they go in.” Ling Yun put his arm around Yao Shuang and the other two women’s slightly stiff waists. “Don’t be afraid. The Star Pattern Fruit is very stable after it matures. I won’t be going there for a while.”
Knowing she couldn't stop Ling Yun, the purple-haired beauty could only forward the information about the Star Pattern Fruit to him.
"The Star-Patterned Fruit was placed at an auction house in the Promised Land. News had just spread that this novel fruit was going to be auctioned, but who would have thought that a thick fog would suddenly appear the next day, and then nothing happened."
Ling Yun silently memorized the address of the auction house.
"Lingyun, why don't we just give up? Let's think of another way for you?" Ling Shuang felt a sudden panic and hugged Lingyun tightly.
Xiang Yao didn't speak. She didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but she knew that Ling Yun seemed to be going on a risky mission, something that even mercenaries who valued money over their lives might not be able to do.
"What are you afraid of? Do you really think I'm going to my death?" Ling Yun smiled. "I have my own methods. Don't overthink it. Just mind your own business!"
The pollution of the Promised Land is indeed terrifying; even ordinary martial arts cultivators who enter it will almost certainly die.
However, he also kept the "Source of Plague" in his space, and the mutated plagues of the Promised Land were nothing compared to it.
Seeing that the three women didn't believe him, Ling Yun said helplessly, "When have you ever seen me take unnecessary risks?"
These words made the women thoughtful. Although Ling Yun would occasionally do things that seemed dangerous, he never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning. Besides, there were so many women in the Dragon Kingdom waiting for him, so it was impossible for him to seek death.
"Then I'll contact the Sakura Empire for you first and see how much they're willing to sell it for."
Ling Yun nodded slightly, but he had another plan in mind.
Andy and Mai Shiranui both came from the Shiranui-ryu dojo. According to the information he found online, the Shiranui-ryu was ranked high in the Ninja Alliance, about the same size as the Iga-ryu. Since the Ninja Alliance controlled the Crimson Crystal Fruit, they should have some in their possession.
It seems we still need to try to break through by focusing on Mai Shiranui.
He doesn't like treating female leads and supporting characters as mere tools; kidnapping or deceiving Mai Shiranui would be inappropriate.
Therefore, he planned to use his charm to win over this female ninja.
Before the car even arrived at the manor, Andy sent him a message through the green bubble.
"Hello Mr. Ling, I am Andy from the Shiranui-ryu Dojo. Our dojo master is currently leading us in an exchange and learning session at the Martial Alliance. It was only through the head instructor's introduction that we learned you are also a master of martial arts, and our teachers are very interested in you. We sincerely invite you to visit us and hope to have the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas with you in person. We eagerly await your reply!"
An address was also attached below, located near the Martial Alliance.
Xiang Yao glanced at Ling Yun's phone, her delicate brows furrowing: "Where did this vixen come from? And she's a foreigner, no less?"
"Your foreign girlfriend's name is Andy?"
The tycoon's wife scoffed, "My friend's dog is named Andy."
Ling Shuang almost burst out laughing, but she restrained herself so as not to make Ling Yun feel uncomfortable.
She always paid attention to these small details, but Xiang Yao was used to being spoiled and said whatever came to mind, which is why she offended Ling Yun from the very beginning, and now she is often whipped by him.
"Ling Lan, take the three of them back first, then take me to the Martial Alliance."
"Yes, Master."
Ling Lan lightly applied the brakes and accelerated...
The ninjas lived in an exquisite courtyard.
This courtyard is quite similar to the style of the Sakura Empire, and it was probably built specifically to receive people from the Sakura Empire.
Shiranui Hanzo, accompanied by several disciples, stood at the entrance to greet Ling Yun. After exchanging pleasantries, they invited the young man inside.
Chapter 206 Mai Shiranui [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]
"Lord Lingyun, this is my granddaughter, Mai Shiranui."
Shiranui Hanzo stood beside Ling Yun, extending his hand to introduce the girl in front of him.
"I've heard of him before." Ling Yun smiled slightly, his dashing and unrestrained demeanor further increasing the female ninja's positive impression of him. "Miss Wu, hello."
Mai Shiranui bowed slightly and greeted Ling Yun, saying, "Greetings, Lord Ling."
Unlike yesterday's schoolgirl style, today Mai Shiranui is wearing a kimono with an ink-dyed wisteria pattern.
The silk fabric has a warm luster, the stand-up collar neatly wraps around the slender neckline, and the wide pocket straps are tied into an elegant taiko knot at the back.
She stood under the veranda, lightly twirling a cypress fan between her fingertips. As she bowed, her sleeves flowed like water, and the white socks beneath her skirt moved gently on the tatami mat, making her seem like a noble lady who had stepped out of an ancient scroll.
[Name]: Mai Shiranui
【Age】:21
[Value]: 165, D+
[Favorability]: 82 (Appreciation ↑)
[Realm]: Late Stage of Meridian Opening
[Special]: Illusionary Flame Dance (Purple)
[Identity]: Female lead in "The Legend of the Turtle Man"
Illusion Flame Dance: All ninjutsu are imbued with "Illusion Flame," which burns the enemy's true energy and causes continuous pain. It is full of vitality and energy, like a wild horse that cannot be easily controlled.
Ling Yun's previous world was called Oasis, which had extremely strict control over related content. Not to mention doujinshi, even borderline content was almost extinct. It was only after he came to Blue Star that he opened the door to a new world.
I first learned about Mai Shiranui when my mother, the headmistress, found a "Thousand Transformations" game console somewhere. This old-fashioned machine contained thousands of games that had never been heard of in the outside world, including the one featuring the crimson figure, "The King of Fighters".
Although Mai Shiranui's base attributes and skills are not particularly strong, Ling Yun still fell in love with that fiery crimson that danced among the white walls.
Once he mastered the technique, he could easily defeat all the older girls at the orphanage in a single three-kill streak.
When he grew up a little and got his own computer, he discovered that the games in "The Twins Effect" couldn't be found online, and no one had even played them.
Upon seeing Mai Shiranui in real life, Ling Yun was overwhelmed with emotions.
When the female ninja noticed him staring at her, a blush rose on her cheeks, and she turned her head slightly away.
Seeing this, Andy felt his blood rushing again, like a surging river.
Seeing this, Shiranui Hanzo coughed lightly and said in somewhat broken Chinese, "Lord Lingyun, the food is ready. Shall we eat and chat?"
"it is good."
Ling Yun withdrew his gaze and followed them to the restaurant.
When they were seated, Hanzo Shiranui cleverly arranged for the female ninja to sit next to him.
"Ling Jun, let me pour you some wine." Her Mandarin was quite good, though not as good as Andy's, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't even hear much of her accent.
"Thank you."
Dragon Kingdom is the birthplace of martial arts, and martial artists from other countries often come to Dragon Kingdom in groups to exchange and learn.
In the past, they would go to various aristocratic families, but after the establishment of the Martial Alliance, they basically all came here to avoid close ties between martial arts families and foreign forces.
Mai Shiranui's every move carries a unique charm, and whenever she looks at Ling Yun, her eyes seem to overflow with tears.
