I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 38: 38. Portable Color Ultrasound Device

In the courtyard of the martial arts school,

Lu Yao was practicing boxing under Liao Ya's supervision. Agile as a vigorous macaque, he leapt here and there, throwing punches and kicks, and before long, he had completed a set.

His progress was extremely noticeable; yesterday, when he finished, he was so exhausted that he could barely stand, but today, he was just a bit out of breath.

While practicing boxing, Lu Yao also did not forget to train under "pressure," occasionally stealing glances at his senior sister's majestic high-rise buildings.

Liao Ya seemed oblivious, admiringly commenting from the side,

"Not bad, with the blessing of Spirit Refinement, you've indeed made rapid progress. You have achieved a small success in Sinew-Strengthening. I understand now why all the masters like disciples with talent; teaching them is truly worry-free!"

She was very satisfied with her junior brother's cultivation progress. She only needed to give him a few casual pointers, and he would quickly comprehend and improve. Teaching such a disciple gave her a great sense of achievement.

The physical fitness of someone in the Muscle Training Realm is comparable to that of a professional gymnast. With the characteristic "move at will" of Muscle Training Realm, Lu Yao achieved success without much effort.

Of course, the instruction from this young girl before him also played a significant role.

Lu Yao asked with concern, "Senior sister, you've been focusing solely on the two of us lately, what about your own cultivation?"

Liao Ya laughed, "I'm already cultivating, in fact, all the time. The Marrow-Cleansing Realm doesn't require seclusion; for this realm, as long as one has sufficient resources, strong internal energy and blood, and the internal energy can carry the blood to cleanse and refine the marrow, that's enough."

Lu Yao replied, "I see, but will you have enough time? The martial arts competition is in less than a month."

Liao Ya said, "I'm confident. The only difficulty lies in the precise mastery of 'cleansing and refining the marrow'. This step requires a strong control over the blood and Inner Breath, and that's the focus of my recent training."

An idea struck Lu Yao, and he quickly asked, "Senior sister, what exactly do you mean by blood and Inner Breath?"

That's the benefit of having a teacher; you can ask whenever you don't understand something.

Liao Ya explained, "Blood is the essence of the human body, derived from the nutrients we take from food and tonics; Inner Breath is the purification of blood and is dependent on it, only available to those in the Organ Refining Realm."

Lu Yao hurriedly said, "If... I brought a machine that allowed you to see the internal organs working, would that help your training?"

"Seeing the internal organs in operation!? That's a wondrous ability unique to the Spirit Embryo Breathing Realm; of course, it would be extremely useful!"

Liao Ya became excited, "Junior brother, is what you just said true? Is there really such a machine?"

Lu Yao nodded vigorously, "Yes, I can bring it back if I make a trip home!"

"Then go quickly!" Liao Ya urged, breathing hastily, her flawless nostrils flaring, and she subconsciously grabbed Lu Yao's arm, almost ready to throw him over the wall.

"Senior sister~ I'm off. Wait for the good news."

With that, Lu Yao hurried off.

Liao Ya let out a long breath. She wanted to probe into where exactly her junior brother's so-called home was... but after thinking of the upcoming martial arts competition, she decided not to ask.

Her junior brother was undeniably sincere towards both her and her sister, without a trace of ill intent. Everyone has secrets; why should she try to play the villain unnecessarily?

Moreover, they would soon be a real family. Barring any accidents, Lu Yao was about to become the "brother-in-law" of the Liao Family, upon whom the family's legacy would rely.

Unfortunately, Liao Ya did not know that her junior brother was not only thinking about her every day but had also made a grand vow to take her as his wife through a proper and public marriage~

Lu Yao left the martial arts school and arrived at the medicinal herb shop.

He had nearly bought out the shop's stock of Cordyceps, so this time he purchased a piece of "Natural Bezoar."

In Blue Star, this stuff was as valuable as gold. Just imagine, something the size of a chicken egg could sell for hundreds of thousands; how tempting that must be~

The old Lu Yao was very fragile, not daring to carry such conspicuous items home. But now, things were different.

With the strength of Sinew-Strengthening along with the major accomplishment of entering a state of calm, he could deal with five armed thugs without a problem, plus the good public order in Xia Country, so he could sell the item outright and without fear.

~~~~~~~

After returning to Blue Star, Lu Yao contacted his exclusive "herb supplier" Li Lei for the first time.

[I got a piece of natural bezoar, you interested?]

[Natural bezoar? Ah, yes, yes, yes!!! Are you at home? I'll come over right now]

[Come on. Bring a "portable color ultrasound device" when you come over]

[Alright, I'll be there in ten minutes!]

Lu Yao hung up the phone, very satisfied with the other party's efficiency.

At the 9-minute mark, Li Lei ran up the stairs, panting. "Huff... Huff... Where is it? Let me see!"

Lu Yao casually threw over something the size of an egg, which Li Lei caught with alarm, not even caring to curse, and quickly took out a "handheld microscope" to carefully examine it.

This palm-sized microscope could magnify objects 300 times and was specially used to identify antiques, medicinal materials, and the like.

Li Lei examined it for a long time, then sniffed and licked it. The unique fragrance of the bezoar filled her mouth and nose; finally, she scraped her fingernail across the bezoar, instantly staining her nail yellow, and it wouldn't come clean no matter how much she rubbed.

By now, the overly cautious President Li was one hundred percent sure the bezoar in front of her was the real deal, as well as its quality - [Top grade, market price above 500,000!]

Li Lei cleared her throat, reining in her excitement, ready to start a tough business negotiation.

But seeing Lu Yao's calm expression, and remembering his words— he only cared about efficiency!

Li Lei put aside her thoughts and directly made an offer: "I'll give you 300,000."

Lu Yao nodded in agreement: "Transfer the money."

Buying bezoar in the Otherworld had only cost him 500, and a profit of 600 times was enough; there was no need to be too greedy.

Soon, Lu Yao received a notification of [300,000 yuan credited to your account].

Li Lei had already become quite accustomed to this business model, transferring the money without changing her expression, then she packed up the bezoar.

"Oh yeah, the thing you wanted."

She handed over a box, inside of which was the "portable color ultrasound device", its appearance being that of a tablet computer with an added "probe".

Its function was very simple, generally purchased by small hospitals or pet clinics to use, even many livestock breeders were using it to give physical check-ups to their own animals.

Therefore, the advantages of a "portable color ultrasound device" were quite obvious - it was very easy to operate, and no specialized training was necessary.

Li Lei said generously: "It can run for 10 hours on a full charge, consider it a gift from me~"

Lu Yao didn't stand on ceremony, this girl had made quite a bit of money from him after all.

He then pointed at her "handheld microscope" and said: "Give me this too, looks like fun."

Li Lei handed it over too: "No problem, Mr. Lu, feel free to ask for anything!"

At this moment, as her excitement over receiving the rare natural bezoar had somewhat subsided, Li Lei noticed Lu Yao's complexion, and the microscope in her hand almost fell to the ground.

[What's going on! Rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, robust physique... he looks even better than when I saw him last time! It's like he even practiced martial arts!!!??? How is this possible! He's supposed to be in the advanced stages of cancer!]

Li Lei came from a family famous for traditional Chinese medicine. Knowledge passed down through generations, "inspection, listening and smelling, inquiring, and palpating" were skills she had been practicing since she was young, and she was confident she would not misjudge, especially after having watched someone for such a long time and confirming repeatedly.

Lu Yao reminded her: "Well, that concludes our transaction for this time."

"Ah... you go ahead with your things, I'm leaving." Li Lei came back to her senses, reluctantly stood up, and left.

She actually wanted to talk more, to get to know this bright-eyed, charismatic handsome man better.

But Lu Yao always maintained an air of cold detachment, keeping others at arm's length.
