I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 606: 605. Talent

After clearing the annoying bugs, Lu Yao refocused his attention on Duoduo:

"Duoduo, can you now speak of the matter concerning White Deer Immortal Saint Han?"

But Duoduo, staring at the ruins that had been the Qing Army Camp, seemed dumbstruck, as if he had not heard.

"Who on earth are you..."

That majestic figure with three heads and six arms, the attack like a natural disaster, could not be the work of mere martial arts; it had to be that of an immortal, just like his "master"!

As this man kept inquiring about his master, could it be that he was an enemy of his master?

Lu Yao had no interest in entanglement and went straight to severe torture. Amidst the grating sound of metal breaking, he broke one of Duoduo's legs with his hands.

Duoduo screamed in agony, yet his reverence for White Dew Immortal Saint Han was so deeply etched in his bones that he clenched his teeth and refused to speak.

Having witnessed his master's methods, he knew well that if he betrayed him, something far worse than death awaited him.

Just as Lu Yao was about to flay and dismantle Duoduo before taking possession of him, Shi Kefa and a group of people approached, knelt down in a grand salute, and exclaimed:

"Reporting to the Supreme Immortal, this subordinate knows a thing or two about the background of the White Dew Immortal Saint."

Ancients who start rebellions always liked to add a touch of myth to their personas. Not to mention, several princes of the Qing Empire who had indeed received the teaching of a "divine being" would naturally boast and exaggerate their connections proudly.

Shi Kefa, along with his adopted son Shi Dewei, had been opposed to those princes for many years and thus knew the full story clearly.

At this moment, this dark-faced imperial official spoke respectfully and elaborately:

"This man's name is Han Zhong, who claims to be an immortal from the Qin era. He once said, 'Dragon's Chant gathers in Jianzhou, a dynasty shall rise.' He then took nine Jianzhou Khans, including the Khan of the Qing Empire, as his disciples and taught them divine martial arts."

At this point, Shi Kefa paused before continuing:

"Later, after much verification, we confirmed that this person did exist in history, having been a magician for Emperor Qin Shi Huang before disappearing without a goodbye..."

At first, the Ming side scoffed at the notion of Jianzhou 'divine being's teaching', but as the wars dragged on and the extraordinary powers of the various khans became evident, disbelief turned to belief.

Moreover, faced with the man before them with three heads and six arms, like a god or demon, Shi Kefa and his group had to admit—there are always things in this world beyond their imaginations.

After hearing these words, Lu Yao became convinced that his current adversary, Han Zhong, must be one of those "hidden in the small world."

"How coincidental to encounter them here... But, this is not bad at all."

Having experienced Ying Zheng's resoluteness, Lu Yao had no fondness for these sewer rats and determined to give them some trouble.

At that moment, Shi Jingyan, holding his bereaved sister-in-law, felt her breath growing weaker and couldn't help saying:

"I implore the Immortal to save her; I am willing to swear servitude and repay this kindness in any way you wish."

Lu Yao nonchalantly released a stream of True Qi into the woman's body, visibly improving her complexion.

Shi Jingyan was overwhelmed with excitement, repeatedly expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal, for this life-saving grace."

With this contact, Lu Yao also came to understand the cultivation method of this world, which was somewhat like the martial arts novels of his previous life, cultivating "internal strength."

The fleshly bodies were far less robust than martial artists, unable to block bullets or resist poison, with ordinary self-healing abilities.

Seeing that the "Immortal" was so amenable, Shi Kefa and his son Shi Dewei were tempted to ask for help.

But Lu Yao had already grasped their intentions and said straightforwardly:

"I bear some grudges against the Jianzhou side and must now head north to the Imperial City to decimate their leadership. As for reconstruction of the land and aspirations of revival, that will depend on your own efforts."

As he spoke, he also infused several streams of True Qi, containing the Indestructible Will, into everyone present.

"Heaven helps those who help themselves; it's time for us to part ways."

With those words, he grabbed Duoduo and soared into the sky, vanishing from sight.

Hearing that he was going to trouble the Jianzhou, Shi Kefa was naturally overjoyed and marveled at the elusive manner of the divine being.

Meanwhile, the other heroes immediately sat down cross-legged, concentrating attentively to comprehend that wisp of True Qi entwined with Indestructible Will.

Lu Yao, holding Dodo, originally intended to try to extract more useful information and was also curious about how the Spirit Refinement expert named "Han Zhong" enlightened the natives.

Creating nine Khans and Princes all at once, like a sow birthing piglets.

But just then, Dodo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly began to tremble violently!

His eyes widened in horror and disbelief as he gazed at his body, which then hunched over, rapidly decaying and withering away.

In just a few breaths, he had crumbled into brittle dust and dissipated into the air.

Lu Yao watched the whole process, speechless for a moment.

He had assumed Han Zhong had used Divine Thought infused with an Indestructible Will in combination with possession training, along with the use of Spirit Birds and the like, to enlighten the natives of this world.

Even though it might take some effort, acquiring a group of helpers at the Golden Body Realm seemed worthwhile.

But what he hadn't anticipated was that this person had employed a method that overdraws the body's potential, forcefully accelerating the growth of a batch of "Strongmen."

It might not be noticeable under normal conditions, but once they suffered serious damage, they would immediately perish, and their lifespans were undoubtedly very short.

"That is to say, this person practically incurred no cost to create a batch of inferior 'Golden Body Realm' laborers for himself.

These poor folks, with their low Spirit Refinement Realm and lacking understanding of the Martial Path, were sweetly duped and taken advantage of."

"This cost-control ability is indeed unparalleled, coupled with the marrow-sucking method of Spirit Bird extraction and the act of casually amassing power in pursuit of maximal profit..."

"This Han Zhong... truly is a talent! The quintessential born capitalist."

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh in earnest.

This peer probably just moved his lips a bit in this world and then waited for all the benefits to fly into his pocket.

"I wonder what kind of person he is, a cultivator from Immortal Qin?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the very moment of Dodo's decay and demise, a man in luxurious robes and a high crown narrowed his eyes.

Right now, he was in a place resembling a celestial realm, engaging in a chess match.

The scene beheld floating Spirit Peaks in mid-air, shrouded in mist with Spirit Birds soaring, bizarre rocks jutting out, waterfalls cascading like curtains, and grand palaces nestled amongst them.

The man in luxurious robes and high crown beckoned lightly, and a divinely graceful white deer appeared out of thin air.

"Let's pause the game here; I'll return shortly."

This person was none other than Immortal White Deer—Han Zhong, about to mount the white deer and leave.

The one playing chess with him was an old man with a sage-like demeanor, who asked, "Is there something amiss?"

Han Zhong smiled and said, "Some matters have arisen, but they're of no consequence. I have managed that world for quite some time."

The old man stroked his beard, "That's good then. Be careful, old friends are not plentiful."

With a wave of his hand, a Sword Box appeared in the air and floated toward Han Zhong; it was obvious he was meant to take it with him.

There was a Dragon's Chant hidden inside the Sword Box, and Han Zhong accepted it openly, slinging it on his back.

"I shall take Shadow Trailing with me, just in case. Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Zhongfu~"

Han Zhong performed an ancient bow in gratitude and then mounted the white deer to step into his Spiritual World, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This white deer was originally his heart companion.
