I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 53: 53. Forcibly Crossing Inner Breath

The banquet concluded, and the attendees departed, each lost in their own thoughts.

Zhang Jin approached and said, "Master Liao, please come with me."

Having killed Sun Haoran after signing a life-and-death declaration, Liao Ya naturally expected to collect her "prize."

The trio arrived at Li Pei's place, where the short-haired beauty greeted them warmly, taking Master Liao's hand:

"I never expected Yunzhou to harbor such a genius as your younger sister. This trip has truly been worthwhile."

Liao Ya modestly demurred, "I dare not compare. You have already reached the Blood-Exchange Realm."

The two women exchanged courtesies, their ample bosoms heaving in a subtle contest.

Lu Yao covertly assessed which was more magnificent, but even in a calm state, he couldn't reach a verdict, mainly because they wore too many clothes.

"Here are the deeds for the Haoran Martial Arts Hall, a total of 24. Besides the main residence, the rest are opium dens."

Li Pei looked at Liao Ya with a smile, her tone even, "Most of Yunzhou's opium dens are right here, and so is the connection to the Hailong Gang built up by Sun Haoran. Master Liao, you've become rich overnight~"

But Liao Ya's face showed disgust, "Opium has brought great harm to people, and my enmity with the Hailong Gang is as deep as the ocean! Chairman, all I want is to retrieve my father's body; as for the rest, it's fine if I don't take them."

"That won't do. According to the rules, these assets are now yours."

Upon hearing Liao Ya say this, Li Pei's expression relaxed quite a bit:

"Sun Haoran's properties involve shares of many people; not just anyone can take them on. But don't worry, I will lend a hand. Master Liao, shall we go meet these opium den owners tomorrow?"

Liao Ya had no objections, "That would be very good!"

~~~~~~~~~

After bidding farewell, the trio of Liao Ya were personally seen out by Li Pei.

Once they were gone, Zhang Jin handed over all of their information, "Congratulations to the Commandery Princess on acquiring a great general! A joyous beginning is sure to lead to smooth sailing and swift success in Yunzhou!"

Li Pei, flipping through the documents, said with a smile, "The 'great general' is not just one individual."

Zhang Jin thought her master meant Liao Qe, "Are you speaking of the Liao Family's second daughter? To have reached the Organ Refining stage at such a young age, she truly is rare talent."

However, Li Pei's gaze lingered on Lu Yao's file, her lips curling with interest, "Such sparse information on this man. He comes from overseas?"

"It's said that he has a gift for Spirit Refinement and comes from a wealthy family, not lacking in funds."

"Keep an eye on him."

Although Zhang Jin was puzzled, she did not inquire further and quickly bowed in acknowledgment.

~~~~~~~~~

Upon returning home, the three were very pleased. Lu Yao joked, "We scored a great victory and even secured an official position. Tonight is truly a case of both fame and fortune, Master Liao~ congratulations~"

Liao Ya smiled, "Truthfully, I'm not interested in power, but with this position, I can act against the Hailong Gang, and I'm willing to give it a try!"

She looked at the words "Liao Family Boxing Gym" hanging in the main hall and suddenly felt that revenge was no longer an extravagant hope.

And all this was thanks to her amazing junior brother, making her feel the deal for this 'sister' was extremely worthwhile.

Liao Ya put away her long spear and said, "Prepare the medicinal bath, increase the dosage by fifty percent, I'm advancing to the Jin Realm through marrow cleansing!"

~~~~~~~~

Before leaving the house, Lu Yao had already prepared the medicinal herbs, so the preparation of the medicinal bath was very quick, and soon the two fair-skinned young women were soaking in it.

Amidst the steamy mist of the bath, Liao Qe chattered, "The Commandery Princess is really easy to get along with~ she's even going to help us tomorrow~"

Liao Ya rubbed her sister's head, "Silly girl, that's because our goals align."

She had already perceived the intentions of the noblewoman to curry favor; both parties were still in the stage of cautious probing.

Liao Qe held up the medicinal liquid, pouring it over her fair body, letting it cascade down her delicate collarbone.

Watching her increasingly enchanting and amorous younger sister, Liao Ya pretended to be displeased and said,

"After we take over the Haoran Martial Arts Hall tomorrow, it will be perfect to serve as your family business. Why don't you and Lu Yao move there and live on your own? It will give me some peace and a good night's sleep."

"No, I don't want to leave you~" Liao Qe objected, clinging to her sister like glue, not letting go: "I want to be with you for a lifetime~"

"Let's not, you're too noisy~"

"I'll cover my mouth in the future…"

Liao Qe rubbed against her sister's chest, coquettishly acting spoiled for a long time, and with much persuasion, she finally convinced her to abandon the idea.

In truth, Liao Ya was only saying that to scare and vent a little. The sisters had been inseparable since childhood and shared a deep bond; she couldn't bear to part with her sister.

But she still cautioned, "It's fine to enjoy romance, but don't neglect your cultivation! Remember—Lu Yao is still unwell!"

Liao Qe nodded in agreement over and over, and simultaneously blinked her big eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

~~~~~~~

After her bath, Liao Qe, with her hair still wet, hurriedly went to Lu Yao's room.

Lu Yao took out a "Portable Color Ultrasound Device" to assist her in stabilizing her Organ Refining.

Today, with only the two of them, the intimacy made things less awkward than before, and she simply chose not to wear any clothes for easy monitoring.

Holding the probe, Lu Yao teased as he scanned her flawless, alabaster back, "What a pity not to put a cupping jar on this."

The state of her blood and organs was clear at a glance, allowing Liao Qe to easily know her progress and what she needed to do.

"With this device, it's so simple. It won't be long before I achieve Five Organs Resonance."

Wiping the coupling agent from her body, Liao Qe was extremely satisfied with her cultivation progress: "When sister was refining her organs, it took her months of hardship, but I only need two or three days."

Lu Yao also made significant progress. Having seen it so often now, he had a clear understanding of the Organ Refining Realm, which would make his own breakthrough much simpler in the future.

~~~~~~~

After wrapping up the serious business, it was only natural for the two of them to spar a bit.

Lu Yao thought it would be just another unremarkable fight, where he was bound to be the losing party.

But at the last moment, Liao Qe placed her hand on his back, transferring to him a large amount of Inner Breath!

"This is the precious Inner Breath transformed from the essence of the Five Organs! You need to keep it for your cultivation, why give it to me!?"

Lu Yao immediately wanted to get up, but his sister held him down firmly, "Don't move; you need to reach the Blood-Exchange Realm quickly and get well."

"Stop, stop, stop, a martial artist's progress relies completely on Inner Breath, you…"

Liao Qe turned a deaf ear and transferred it all at once.

With an abundance of tonics and medicinal baths, her Inner Breath was extraordinarily powerful. Lu Yao felt his blood turn hot as if it were water, and his entire body inside and out underwent a sauna, extremely soothing. Every cell cheered and yearned for this essence of life.

Having received immense benefits, Lu Yao looked at Liao Qe with a complex expression, wanting to scold her but he couldn't, instead, he just held her close.

Inner Breath is the most important thing for a martial artist; taking tonics and having medicinal baths, everything is to strengthen it!

It is the very foundation of a martial artist's existence, yet Liao Qe transferred it without hesitation!

With her slender index finger drawing circles on his chest, her gentle voice comforted him: "Don't worry, with your device, I don't need so much Inner Breath for cultivation. I will give it to you every day…"

Looking at her beautiful face, feeling the soft body in his arms, Lu Yao found himself filled with endless energy.

Liao Qe quickly bit into her pillow.
