This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 490: A Pack of Wolves Devouring an Elephant, Breaking Through the Realm (6000+)

"Remove Lu Wenzheng from the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce!"

This proposal is earth-shattering.

As the head of the Lu family, Lu Wenzhen was proposed to be removed from the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce at the shareholders' meeting without being notified to attend. This actually explains a lot of problems.

"I disagree!"

Immediately, a shareholder from the patriarch's lineage stood up and loudly objected, "Without the patriarch's permission, what right do you have to hold a shareholders' meeting? What right do you have to remove the chairman?!"

The old man who raised the topic looked at this person coldly:

"According to the rules of our Lu's Chamber of Commerce, as long as more than half of the shareholders agree, a shareholders' meeting can be held. As long as more than two-thirds of the shareholders agree, the president can be removed!"

"Half of the shareholders have agreed to hold today's shareholders' meeting. As for removing the chairman, I have proposed a motion now, and we can just vote according to the procedure."

"you"

Those who oppose have nothing to say.

This is indeed in line with the Chamber of Commerce rules, but such rules have never been used in the past few decades.

"Let's start voting. Those who agree to remove Lu Wenzheng from the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce, please raise your hands."

The old man said, and then raised his hand first.

Then people raised their hands one after another.

There were a total of twenty-seven shareholders present, and the total number of shareholders of the Lu Chamber of Commerce was thirty.

In other words, more than twenty shareholders must agree to remove Lu Wenzhen from the position of Chamber of Commerce president.

Normally this would be impossible because the number of shareholders controlled by the family head almost accounts for half.

But as more and more people raised their hands, several shareholders who firmly stood on Lu Wenzhen's side realized that the situation was not good.

Several shareholders from the family head's lineage actually raised their hands and voted in favor!

"you."

"Zou Ze! You are an outsider, without the support of the patriarch. How can you become a shareholder of our Lu's Chamber of Commerce? How dare you betray the patriarch? You are such a heartless person!"

The first person who stood up to oppose pointed at a man's nose and cursed.

The man named Zou Ze is the son-in-law of the Lu family. He spread his hands:
"I can get to where I am today because of my own talent! Isn't the money I have earned for Lu Wenzheng enough over the years? Are you saying I am heartless? Aren't the merits I have done and the money I have earned for him enough to repay his kindness?"

"Besides, the Lu family doesn't belong to Lu Wenzheng alone. As long as I continue to work hard in the Chamber of Commerce and make money for it, would I be betraying the Lu family?"

Many people looked at this scene coldly.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

In the current situation, smart people know that Lu Wenzhen is doomed, but the Lu family still has to survive, and of course they will not accompany Lu Wenzhen to make the same mistakes again and again.

The only thing to blame is Lu Wenzhen, who shouldn't have put Li Fei on the opposite side when making the decision.

"If Lu Wenzheng had chosen to win over Li Fei instead of supporting Xu Jing, how different would the Lu family's situation be now?"

Many members of the Lu family now have this thought in their minds.

But in fact, Li Fei was just a beginner at the Dao Foundation Stage, with no power or influence, while Xu Jing was already a young Grandmaster, and was expected to become the president of a new university.

No matter who it was, it was impossible to give up Xu Jing and choose Li Fei at that time.

Although this is the truth, it does not stop the Lu family from complaining about Lu Wenzhen.

"Twenty-one votes in total, more than two-thirds!"

The old man wearing glasses looked around at everyone present with a dignified look:

"I now declare that Lu Wenzheng is officially dismissed from his position as the president of the Lu's Chamber of Commerce!"

On March 3, the Lu's Chamber of Commerce dismissed President Lu Wenzhen.

This incident was like a fuse, triggering the "crusade" against the head of the Lu family!
On March 3, a deputy director of the Feng Province branch of the Lanchao Military Factory was dismissed.

The Lanchao Military Factory was one of the three military factories built by the imperial court after the Mingxin Reforms. It was mainly used to produce various types of rifles and bullets.

This is considered a 'state-owned enterprise' and is an industry that is the lifeblood of the country!

Behind these three military factories, there are the "Ten Clan Families".

The Lu family initially invested in the Lanchao Military Factory, providing money, manpower and space.
The branch factory located in Feng Province is half controlled by the imperial court and half by the Lu family!
Now there has been a change in internal power. A deputy factory director who was promoted by Lu Wenzhen has lost his power, and Lu Wenyao has supported a new deputy factory director to take over.

On March 3, at the Wulong Exotic Animal Breeding Farm, a total of five imperial officials and two officials were imprisoned due to reports.

Wulong Exotic Animal Breeding Farm is also a 'state-owned enterprise' and is one of the seven largest exotic animal breeding farms in the Great Blue Dynasty.

These officials who were reported and imprisoned were all from the Lu family's patriarch's lineage.

On March 3, several officials from the Changsheng Yibing Manufacturing Factory were also imprisoned.

The nature of the Changsheng Strange Weapon Manufacturing Factory is the same as that of the Wulong Strange Beast Breeding Farm, except that one breeds strange beasts, and the other manufactures strange weapons.

February 4.
From military industry, exotic animal breeding, to exotic weapon manufacturing, exotic animal food planting, elixir refining, and implant manufacturing.
This series of industries are all "national lifeline industries", and the Lu family is involved in all of them!
The reason why the "Ten Aristocratic Families" are praised as "sharing glory with the country" is because these families have been deeply involved in various construction projects of this country since its founding.

If the Great Blue Dynasty is regarded as a towering tree that has grown for more than 500 years, then the "Ten Clan Clans" are equivalent to the symbiotic plants of this towering tree.

These ten families have been attached to the Great Blue Dynasty, absorbing its "nutrients" for more than five hundred years!
Their 'rhizomes' have long been deeply intertwined with the 'rhizomes' of the Great Blue Dynasty.

If any one of them were to be uprooted, it would inevitably cause great damage to the Blue Dynasty!
If it is serious, it may even affect the country's destiny!
The destiny of a country is never determined solely by the number of strong people it has, but involves factors such as population, economy, and people's hearts.

This is why the emperor did not want Li Fei to take action against the Lu family at the beginning.

On the surface, the Lu family only has one martial arts master enshrined, and there is also Lu Wenyao who is also a martial arts master.

Even if Xu Jing is regarded as an ally of the Lu family, in terms of military strength, the Lu family is still "not worth mentioning" and has no way to confront the imperial court.

If the imperial court wanted to, it could kill everyone in the Lu family!

But if the imperial court were the first to not follow the rules and chose to kill indiscriminately, then in the long run, the greatest loss would be suffered by the imperial court itself.

Because when the rules are wantonly violated, the ones who suffer the greatest losses are always the rule makers.

The third prince originally believed that it would take Li Fei at least ten years to use his power to overthrow Lu Wenzhen, which was not an exaggeration.

However, he did not expect that Li Fei would be able to achieve such great military achievements, and the emperor would let the prince be regent so quickly.

Now Li Fei uses Lu Wenyao to let the Lu family fight among themselves, using the opponent's strength to defeat him, saving himself a lot of energy.

He only needs to "lend" his supervisory power as the Blue Patrol Envoy, and someone will provide him with a steady stream of evidence, thereby defeating the people of the Lu family's patriarch's lineage!

The family head represented by Lu Wenzhen has the strongest power in the Lu family.

If the head of the family is regarded as a giant elephant, then the other branches represented by Lu Wenyao are wolves.

Now, the wolves are devouring the elephant!
After Lu Wenyao "fired the first shot", everyone rushed to join this "feast".

And not only the Lu family, but also other major clans, aristocratic families and forces from all over the place participated in this feast.

Everyone couldn't wait to tear a piece of meat from the "giant elephant" and swallow it into their own stomachs to strengthen themselves.

Everyone is afraid that if they are a step slow, the benefits will be snatched away by others.

From the beginning of March to May, in just over two months, all the major industries involved in the Lu family's patriarch were affected!
Either officials are sent directly to prison or are forced to give up their power and interests.

Of course, Lu Wenzhen did not just sit there and wait for death, he also took the initiative to launch a counterattack.

But as the situation turned against him, his counterattack seemed somewhat powerless.

Now the Lu family is determined to abandon him and re-establish friendship with Li Fei so that they can cling to the thigh of the future monarch.

In this situation, Lu Wenzhen, the head of the family, is actually dead in name only.

The capital of Feng Province, Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenzhen was talking on the phone in the study.

It seemed that he was still calm and composed, without any loss of troops or embarrassment from being pressed step by step.

"Yes, I just want cash!"

"Sell them all! I mean all of them!"

"I only give you three days."

Lu Wenzhen was giving orders over the phone.

"Master, but if this happens, we will have to declare bankruptcy if there is just a little run from outside!"

There was an anxious voice on the other end of the line.

"You just have to follow orders."

Lu Wenzhen said expressionlessly.

".yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wenzhen leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette.

In more than two months, his forces in various places were basically shattered!
Now he only has Feng Province as his "base".

After all, he had been the inspector general of Feng Province for more than ten years. With the background of the Lu family, Feng Province, as his "base", was not so easy to be conquered.

But he knew very well that it was only a matter of time.

"Wumi Zheng, you must remember that if you want to kill a powerful opponent, the best way is to first destroy his 'name' and then destroy his 'reality'."

Lu Wenzhen still remembers that when he was twelve years old and read the article "The Debate on Name and Reality", his father taught him this.

If you want to kill a powerful person, the best way is to cut off his social connections first!
When all of a person's social relationships are severed, it means that the person's life or death is no longer important to the society.

If Lu Wenzhen had died suddenly more than two months ago, his death would have been like a stone that caused a thousand ripples for the entire Da Lan Dynasty!

The impact and turmoil it brings are difficult to estimate.

Apart from other things, there are more than 100,000 people who rely on the Lu family for food and jobs. Once the Lu family is seriously disturbed, more than 100,000 families may be affected!
Not to mention the chain reactions, economic losses, etc. that have affected all industries.

Although the internal strife in the Lu family will also cause social unrest, at least the degree is within controllable range. With the continuous "encroachment" from the outside world, Lu Wenzheng's influence is shrinking, and various social relationships are being cut off one after another.

Wait until Feng Province, the last "base", is breached, and wait until Li Fei strips off his official uniform.

Then even if he suddenly died in his bed one night, it wouldn't have any impact!

In the study, Lu Wenzhen silently and forcefully put out the cigarette butt, then picked up the phone and continued to issue orders.

5 month 23 day.

Wenxing Bank was "run" simultaneously in five provinces and declared bankruptcy after only two days!

Wenxing Bank was established by Lu Wenzhen after he became the head of the family. It was equivalent to his personal "money bag".

Wenxing Bank's bankruptcy means, in the eyes of outsiders, that Lu Wenzhen is not far from being "ruined in name only"!

5 month 26 day.

The day after Wenxing Bank declared bankruptcy.

Li Fei has been on the hill where Shi Caiming lives for almost five months.

He hardly ever left the mountain during this period, but to the outside world, the Marquis of Jing'an was "active" all over the country.

Because supervisory officials everywhere received his orders to arrest suspects.

For several months, Li Fei spent most of his time practicing, incorporating magical implants into his body, and constantly strengthening his flying sword body.

Today, he finally completed the refining of the last implant required for the [Eternal Destiny] magical power!
Inside his flying sword, the first of the Twelve Evils was completed.

It took only five months to complete the six implants. This speed is truly astonishing!

After completing the refining of the twelve implants in the body, Li Fei can then begin to refine his supernatural powers.

“The refining of magical powers, whether it’s martial arts or magic, the first magical power of everyone is to combine their own life source with the implanted body to complete the sublimation.

At this point, theoretically, the limit of life has been reached. However, the sages have gone through numerous difficulties and still created the next path - to incorporate a higher-level third-grade implant, use the first kind of magical power to guide it to undergo qualitative changes, connect with the origin of life, and finally complete sublimation. "

In Li Fei's conscious world, Master Qingding was explaining to him.

In terms of realm, Master Caiming is of course higher.

But in terms of understanding of magic, Master Qing Ding is naturally stronger.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry.

After listening to Master Qingding's explanation, Li Fei also resolved some of his doubts.

For example, on the magic side, maybe seven or eight lower-third-grade implants could be refined into a profound-level magic weapon, generating supernatural powers.

But after becoming a true person, one may need twelve types of implants of the third grade to refine them into magical powers.

From an energy perspective, this is clearly unbalanced.

But in fact, everyone’s first magical power not only integrates the energy of the implant, but also includes their own life source.

As for the second and third magical powers, they rely more on the energy of the implant itself.

The source of one's life only acts as a "primer", or a "catalyst" in chemistry.

This principle also explains why a warrior’s life span will be increased when he builds his Taoist foundation and refines his first magical power.

But then, if he cultivated more magical powers, he could only strengthen his physique but could not continue to increase his lifespan.

Because only when the first supernatural power is cultivated can the origin of life be sublimated.

Li Fei's second martial arts-related supernatural power was obtained directly from the supernatural power seed, without going through the normal refining process.

Therefore, this time of refining [Yongding] was his first real attempt to "break through the realm".

In the world of consciousness, Master Qing Ding continued:

"To refine new magic skills, there are three steps: set the formation point, attract the true soul, and gather the true form."

"From the Xuan-level innate magical instrument to the Earth-level innate magical instrument, the most important thing is to form the Earth Evil formation in the innate magical instrument. One of the keys to forming the formation is the point position. You are refining a top-grade Earth-level magical instrument. The twelve evil spirits are one magical power, so the twelve points form a group.

You need to first ‘calibrate’ the twelve refined implants on your flying sword’s body to form array points.”

“There are many ways to mark the points of the formation. The method of refining the top-grade flying sword that Yun Shu gave you records the “Nine-Inducement Formation Method”, which is a superior method from my Taoist school.

My Daluo Sect also has a technique called "Falling Star Soul Calming Technique", which is known as the 'best formation setting technique'. I will pass it on to you now."

As he spoke, Master Qing Ding passed the "Falling Star Soul-Calming Technique" to Li Fei in his mind.

The value of this 'old grandfather' was once again demonstrated at this moment!
When it comes to practicing magic, apart from the Pudu Temple, there is probably no other place in the world that is more authoritative and has more heritage than the Daluo Sect.

With the teaching and guidance of Master Qing Ding, Li Fei quickly learned the "Falling Star Soul-Calming Technique".

Moreover, he possessed the magic of the Nightmare Sect, and could use the magic to create an illusion first, practice in the illusion to increase his proficiency, and then actually put it into practice.

After a few hours, Li Fei mastered the "Falling Star Soul-Calming Technique" in the illusion.

So he started to practice.

"This step is very difficult. Don't be impatient. Be calm and steady. It's okay to go slower."

Master Qing Ding gave a final reminder.

The true soul in Li Fei's body sat in the center of the heart lake, and then began to visualize the stars.
As a 'star' was pulled down from the distant sky by his true soul and landed somewhere on the flying sword's body, a magical implant that he had refined before began to change and gradually formed a formation point.

"So fast!"

Qing Ding Zhenren, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel amazed.

Although he had seen many miracles created by Li Fei, Qing Ding Zhenren was still amazed every time he saw him breaking other people's cultivation common sense and records as easy as eating and drinking.

From completing the refining of the twelve implants to refining new magical powers, the three steps of 'setting the formation points, attracting the true soul, and gathering the true form' are actually very difficult.

Many real people have enough resources and have spent enough time to complete the refining of all implants bit by bit, but in the end they are still unable to refine new magical powers because they are stuck at these three steps.

But Li Fei.
He doesn't seem to have encountered any bottleneck!
Because he practiced both magic and martial arts, he could transform his mental strength into true power, so his true power was far stronger than that of a true person at the same level, and the same was true for his true soul.

And because he himself is his own natal magic weapon, the connection between his true soul and his natal magic weapon is unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, the difficulties of "micro-sensing implants, precise positioning, and precise control" for others are as easy for Li Fei as picking up a pen with his right hand and drawing a circle on the back of his left hand.

What he's going to do next is draw eleven more circles
In less than three days, Li Fei completed the calibration of twelve array points!
Li Fei: "Senior, it doesn't seem that difficult?"

Qing Ding: "."

The next day, after recovering his true strength, Li Fei continued to listen to Qing Ding's explanation:
"The second step is to 'introduce the true soul'. Lead your true soul into these twelve array points one by one, and establish a deeper connection with the corresponding implants.

The difficulty of this step is that 'the soul is fixed as one, but the mind is scattered in all directions', which is somewhat similar to multitasking, but fundamentally different. This step is also difficult, requiring the connection with the natal magic weapon to be... Well, it should be for you. Anyway, I will first teach you the method of my Daluo Sect."

After the "lesson" from last time, Master Qingding no longer told Li Fei any difficulty this time.

Just like yesterday, first learn the method, then practice it in the illusion, and finally put it into practice.

Compared with the 'fixed formation point', 'leading the true soul' is more 'abstract' and requires some understanding and chance.

Even though Li Fei had unparalleled innate sense of destiny, it still took him longer this time than the 'fixed formation point'.

Well, it took him eleven days to complete the 'Guiding the True Soul'.

After completing this step, Li Fei began to understand why the more magical powers one has, the harder it is to cultivate them.

Just like multitasking, every time you develop a new supernatural power, your true soul needs to allocate more of its attention to it.

So the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

The same principle applies to the martial arts side, he can clearly feel that after gaining the magical power of [Refining Things], his life source and mind have become more "entangled".

"The last step, 'gathering the true form', is also the most crucial step. The formation point has been determined, and the true soul has been attracted. Next, we need to activate this small 'formation' to complete the final sublimation and sublimate the power of the implant into supernatural powers."

"This step requires using everyone's life essence to become the 'primer'. While establishing a connection, it can activate the formation and complete the final sublimation."

Taoist Master Qing Ding also taught Li Fei the Daluo Sect's "Gathering True Form" method.

At this point, the strength of true power and true soul, and the strength of innate perception, are no longer decisive factors.

In addition to understanding, whether this step can be accomplished also requires a sufficiently strong life source.

So Li Fei discovered that he still had unique advantages!
Because he has strong enough vitality!

Although vitality is not completely equivalent to the origin of life, the stronger the vitality, the greater the origin of life will surely be.

In this situation, others are "slowly cooking" and trying to slowly "boil" the formation and successfully activate it.

And Li Fei just started a big mess!
Even though his understanding in this area is not top-notch, his vitality is so exaggeratedly strong that no real person can compare with him.

So it only took nineteen days for Li Fei to successfully activate the "formation"!
July 6, the 28th year of Hongguang.

At Wu'an University, on the hill where Shi Caiming lived, a golden sword light suddenly shot up into the sky.

This sword light did not give people a sense of unparalleled sharpness and unrivaled momentum. Instead, it made all those who saw this sword light feel a little dazed, as if this sword light cut through illusions and allowed people to see the 'truth' of heaven and earth.

In the room, a smile appeared on Li Fei's face.

He successfully refined the magical power of [Eternal Destiny]!
At the moment of breaking through, with the help of the insights gained from breaking through, his state of mind became extremely peaceful, and he had a kind of enlightenment that was like the unity of man and nature.

So he subconsciously used the magical power of "Eternal Calmness" to stabilize his state of mind at the moment.

Break through the realm to obtain the 'truth', [Yongding] retains the truth!
July 6, the 30th year of Hongguang.

It was the last day of June, the sun was shining and everything was normal.

The capital of Feng Province, Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenzhen picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected and he confirmed the identity of the person on the other end, he calmly said four words:
"Everything is ready."

Asking for monthly ticket
