I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 152: 152. Jin Marrow-Cleansing Realm

Although Alexander was the head of the factory, being buried with a factory on the verge of closure essentially made him a loser in the power struggle.

If he didn't want to lead a miserable life in his later years, he had to seize the opportunity with high-quality clients like Lu Yao at this moment.

So, he personally accompanied Lu Yao to the workshop.

Inside, they saw a production line continuously manufacturing AK rifles and 7.62MM ammunition.

The workers stood on both sides of the conveyor belt, expertly inspecting the rifles and bullets before boxing them up.

The classic AK rifle was more useful than money in conflict zones and was in great demand.

Gripping a cartridge with pride, Alexander said, "Bullets from a formal munitions factory are different from those made in small workshops outside, there's absolutely no chance of a dud!"

After finishing his speech, he picked up a freshly produced AK, loaded the magazine with bullets, and handed it to Lu Yao with an inviting gesture.

He wanted to show off the quality control of a regular munitions factory.

Unable to refuse the gracious offer, Lu Yao took the rifle outside and fired at a scrapped military jeep 50 meters away.

He emptied 30 bullets in 3 seconds, all hitting the same spot, boring a finger-sized hole through the tough door of the military jeep, its edge glowing red from the heat generated by the bullet friction.

Lu Yao sincerely praised, "The quality is not bad, very stable." The rifle really was of good quality.

Alexander and his two bodyguards stiffened! What kind of godlike marksmanship was this!

Moreover, Lu Yao's shooting actions and posture clearly showed he was a seasoned gunman, definitely having killed more than a few people!

Alexander dropped his casual demeanor and led Lu Yao to the tank and armored vehicle assembly workshop.

There were many unfinished tanks and armored vehicles inside, which, due to a lack of continued funding, were abandoned, hanging there all alone.

Alexander keenly pitched their factory's "Fortress" main battle tank and BTR4 armored vehicle to Lu Yao.

"Look at that, our products are excellent in quality and reasonably priced! Our factory's bankruptcy is only because of the idiots in the Presidential Palace! They're bent on pleasing the Star Alliance, pouring all their money into buying weapons from the Star Alliance!"

Lu Yao glanced around with little interest; these things were too bulky and inconvenient for the time being.

Although Alexander felt a bit regretful, he did not press further and directly presented two items—

An RPG7, a classic rocket launcher, the most widely used "heavy" weapon in the world;

And a GSh-23 twin-barrel cannon! An Iron Alliance era 23MM caliber aircraft gun primarily used on military planes, with bullets as big as soda bottles that can shred armored vehicles.

"Consider these as modest gifts, as I didn't have enough time to prepare thoroughly. I promise you will have a more satisfying selection on your next visit," Alexander said, half-truthfully. After all, it was their first meeting, and he had not brought out the best items, still wanting to assess Lu Yao's capabilities.

Lu Yao accepted them graciously and at the same time asked, "If I want three Fire God Cannons, when can they be ready?"

"At most one week! As for the price… three cannons with 20,000 cannonballs for one million dollars."

"Good, no problem, then I'll see you in a week," Lu Yao agreed.

Most of that money was going to end up in Alexander's own pocket, and he couldn't help but warmly hug Lu Yao.

With the weapons business finally settled, Lu Yao was in high spirits.

He had wanted to feel the thrill of wielding a Fire God Cannon for a long time, and now he was about to achieve this minor goal.

Next, he was just waiting for Zhao Ya to complete the Battle Armor!

By then, wearing one ton of heavy armor, carrying hundreds of kilograms of ammunition, and lifting the Fire God Cannon, he would surely be invincible!

~~~~~~~~

After returning to the Otherworld, Lu Yao called over the two sisters to test the gun.

The two women curiously watched as Lu Yao fiddled with the huge cannon in front of him.

Compared with the Fire God Cannon, the GSh-23's rate of fire was far less impressive. After all, it only had two barrels, unlike the six of the Fire God Cannon.

But 3000 rounds/minute was still terrifying!

The GSh-23 weighed about 50 kilograms and was about 1.6 meters long; this was the version to be mounted on armored vehicles. Lu Yao had removed the mounting stand, leaving only the barrel.

Liao Ya volunteered to try it first, and Lu Yao immediately let her.

The girl hefted the 50-kilogram weapon, aimed at a wooden stake, and pulled the trigger!

In the midst of the deafening noise—which resembled that of an electric drill boring into a wall—the bullets... No, according to international conventions, projectiles over 20MM caliber should be called "cannonballs"!

The storm-like cannonballs roared out, turning the wooden stake targeted into splinters. The cannonballs continued on, striking the far-off back mountain, causing branches and leaves to fly and earth and stones to scatter, leaving a bald spot!

Lu Yao was very satisfied with the power: "Not bad, much more powerful than a .50 caliber machine gun! And the firepower of the Fire God Cannon will only be fiercer than this!"

Liao Ya covered her mouth in surprise, "This... even an Innate couldn't withstand it!"

Liao Qe set down the smoking cannon and, shaking the arm of her beloved, said, "Every time you bring back even more powerful weapons, it's getting more and more exaggerated!"

Lu Yao shrugged, "Troubled times are coming; without these things, I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. I've also ordered some armor, heavier and thicker than the original ones. Just wait and see."

The sisters exchanged a glance, letting Lu Yao do as he pleased, knowing he always planned ahead.

~~~~~~~

The Master said, "Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher."

At this moment, Lu Yao was "reviewing and learning anew"—giving Su Er Ya a massage to invigorate her vitality.

After a long observation, Liao Ya believed that Er Ya had good talent, a resilient character, and a pure heart; she was worth investing more in!

The little girl's biggest issue at the moment was her poor constitution due to long-term malnutrition, which could not be quickly remedied by medicine alone; massage was the best complement.

As a "Transmitting Elder" of Spirit Refinement in the sect, it was Lu Yao's duty to use his Inner Breath to nourish Er Ya's organs.

Through his exploration with Inner Breath, he summarized and concluded his past path, gaining new insights and understandings.

As for Su Er Ya, she benefited even more—the expert hands of Lu Yao greatly nourished her organs, and even before she started learning martial arts, she enjoyed benefits comparable to Organ Refining!

Of course, with her current poor constitution, she could only endure a small round of massage and would need to rest for several days to absorb all the benefits.

The little girl, struggling to stay conscious, expressed her gratitude with a formal bow, "Thank you, Master Lu!"

"No need to thank me; go and rest."

After getting warmed up with the massage and reflecting on his recent gains, Lu Yao gained an even deeper understanding of the organs' role in storing vital energy.

"The organs are the center of a person's life activities; coupled with the cooperation of the six bowels, they connect the internal and external tissues and organs of the body, forming a unified whole!"

Just as he came to this realization, it was as if a layer of paper inside him burst open, allowing his Inner Breath to penetrate his bones and cleanse his marrow—he advanced to the Marrow-Cleansing Realm!

The whole process was silent and natural, just like water spilling over when a basin is full.

Glancing at Su Er Ya, who had walked away, Lu Yao smiled, "We really do have quite the fate."

That evening, the sisters personally cooked a large table full of dishes and opened three bottles of Golden Elixir Brew to celebrate!
