I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 303 Forced Debt! [Thanks to the Alliance Leader "Unforgettable Heart"]

The heart of the capital city is a place of ever-changing scenery!

As the heart of the capital, it has a strong martial spirit.

The number of martial artists in the entire capital city is also an order of magnitude greater than that in Tianjin.

Many martial arts schools with the Bao Dan lineage have sprung up here.

Occasionally, one can even see a master of martial arts giving a lecture here.

The highest sacred place in the hearts of martial artists is the Hundred Martial Arts Arena set up in the capital city.

With the power of transforming internal energy, he faced the challenge of a hundred martial arts masters, and finally stood out from the crowd, becoming famous throughout the world!

Especially recently, the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi was excavated, and a vast collection of Qing Dynasty imperial treasures was scattered among the people.

Among those royal treasures were countless precious medicinal herbs and elixirs that the Qing Dynasty had plundered from the people. Consuming these powerful medicines greatly boosted the entire martial arts world.

At that moment, a divine pearl the size of a thumb crossed the Yangtze River and traveled northward across mountains and rivers.

Having successfully entered the heart of Kyoto, the Divine Pearl immediately sent a message back to Ye Li upon arrival.

……

At this moment in Tianjin, with the infusion of massive spiritual energy, Li Cunzhen's blood and qi became extremely harmonious, and his appearance, which had originally been white-haired and showed signs of aging, returned to its peak at the age of 30.

By gently clenching his fist, he could feel that at this rate of blood and qi flow, he could live for 3000 years, let alone 300.

With 3000 years to hone his martial arts skills, Li Cunzhen could even attempt to break through to the Gang Jin level.

Thinking back to his previous disdainful attitude towards the Blood Bank, he was so ashamed that he couldn't speak, and lowered his head in remorse, saying:

"Master Ye, I, Old Li, was wrong before. Please leave the promotion of this Qi and Blood Bank to me. I will definitely persuade those old friends."

Ye Li waved his hand dismissively, thinking to himself, "Even if you spread it, it'll take forever for word to spread. I have a much faster way."

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed as he sensed the prayer beads had reached their designated position:

"Are you in position? Let's begin."

……

Inside the Jiang Chan Martial Arts School, deep in the heart of Beijing.

Master Jiang Zhenyue glared angrily at his disciple: "You went to Tianjin and got completely bewitched by that Qi and Blood Bank guy!"

Jiang Guqin's face turned bright red with anxiety, and he was eager to explain:

"Master, the martial arts of Qi and Blood are absolutely true. Just come with me to Tianjin, and you'll see why you don't believe me!"

He personally experienced the benefits of the Qi and Blood Bank while spreading martial arts in Tianjin.

Having reached the peak of the Dark Force stage from the mid-stage, he was about to return to the capital to tell his fellow disciples about this good news and let them experience it in Tianjin as well, but he was met with scolding and cursing.

Jiang Zhenyue, dressed in martial arts attire, frowned deeply at Jiang Guqin's words and coldly retorted:

"I'm over two hundred years old, and I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How could I be inferior to you? Besides, so many martial arts masters in the newspapers have debunked these rumors; they must be false!"

"The newspapers all say that long-term use of borrowed qi and blood is highly toxic and addictive, and it only builds dead muscles. Don't be so stubborn!"

Jiang Zhenyue snorted coldly, "From now on, you are not allowed to go to Tianjin again."

"Master!"

Jiang Guqin knelt down with a thud, his eyes reddening, and said:

"Please, disciple, this Blood Bank concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of people in China. Please heed my advice."

At this point, Jiang Guqin's vision blurred, and he said tremblingly:

"My disciple has practiced martial arts for ten years, starting each morning and continuing until sunset. He has been diligent and tireless in his studies, and has finally achieved internal strength and made it through."

"During this period, my fellow disciples Wang, Li, and Guang, who started at the same time as me... all dropped out of the martial arts school one after another due to their average talent and insufficient family wealth. It's really hard to make a name for yourself in Chinese martial arts!"

"Now that Master Ye has finally found a quick fix, you insist he's a fraud. Do you think we don't know whether the Qi and Blood Bank is real or not?"

"The Qi and Blood Bank can help us break through to the Dark Force level in just a few days, which is more than a thousand or ten thousand times faster than before. Master Ye is losing money to replenish our Qi and Blood; he's going to go bankrupt from it."

"If Master Ye falls, there will only be fewer and fewer people practicing Chinese martial arts in the future."

Seeing Jiang Guqin kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, the surrounding fellow disciples looked on with sorrow, feeling his pain and knowing how difficult the path of martial arts was.

Jiang Zhenyue's expression twitched slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fist.

He was furious that his disciple had been so deeply deceived by Ye Li.

He snorted coldly and waved his hand, about to order his disciples to take the unfilial disciple away and lock him up, when he suddenly heard a voice appear in his mind.

[Ding! You are currently within the service area. The Blood Bank is at your service!]

Nickname: ? ? ?

Realm: Mid-stage of Core Formation

Brain Development: 100% Cellular Development

Blood Qi Value: 242...242432 points

Loans: 0

……

"What is this?"

Jiang Zhenyue looked slightly confused, but he quickly realized what was happening:

"A blood and qi bank??? Damn it, they're trying to scam me!"

He looked around and found that everyone inside the martial arts hall had a completely different expression.

One of the disciples asked curiously, "Junior brother, I think I saw something. Am I hallucinating?"

"I saw it too!"

Another disciple standing nearby exclaimed in surprise, "This seems to be the Qi and Blood Bank that Senior Brother Jiang mentioned."

"But didn't the newspaper say that this 'blood bank' only appears in the Tianjin area, and only when we actively recite it?"

Upon hearing his apprentice's conversation, Jiang Zhenyue flew into a rage.

But it wasn't just him. After the Divine Pearl of Faith traveled north, its invisible spiritual power spread outwards, forcibly connecting with the consciousness of hundreds of millions of people in the entire capital city.

In an instant, the entire capital city was thrown into chaos, and everyone was feeling the panel that appeared in front of them.

The previous method of gradually expanding the program in Tianjin was too slow.

Moreover, those who haven't experienced the Qi and Blood Network simply don't believe it. The initial communication costs are too high, and they are often slandered, which makes Ye Li very unhappy.

Therefore, after the prayer beads arrived in the capital, Ye Li immediately cast a spell from a distance.

Through the rosary, a brief mental connection is forcibly established with everyone within a certain range!

In an instant, the invisible network was completely deployed.

Whether they were ordinary people with no martial arts skills or martial artists with Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin, and Bao Dan, they were all forcibly implanted with consciousness by Ye Li at this moment.

Then, another message popped up in front of everyone.

[Since this is your first time using Jiebei, 10 points of your health/energy will be forcibly added to your account.]

"What do you mean!"

Jiang Zhenyue was furious and almost smashed the entire martial arts school to pieces.

Not only did the image appear before his eyes without his permission.

And they lend them money directly without their consent?

"No loan allowed, I don't need this!"

Jiang Zhenyue spoke angrily, but he didn't know who he should seek revenge against.

What does lending you money have to do with you?

The loan application appeared before him. After learning his lesson in Tianjin, Ye Li decided to directly force new users to borrow 10 points of Qi and Blood.

The next moment, no consent is required.

The endless stream of spiritual energy flowed through the central axis of the Crimson Gold Hall and was transmitted to the prayer beads in the capital.

In an instant, it dispersed, transforming into billions of units, each heading towards a different destination.

The next instant, Jiang Zhenyue's angry shout came to an abrupt halt as he felt the warm and powerful spiritual energy directly flow into his body, merging into his already perfectly balanced blood and qi.

In the blink of an eye, his vital energy silently increased by a trace.

Although it was just a drop in the ocean for him, the quality of his blood and qi was incredibly pure, filled with an unprecedented vitality.

Before he could fully comprehend this wisp of qi and blood, he heard the disciples around him make some unpleasant noises.

"Ah~~~"

"snort!!!"

"Hiss!"

Around him, a crowd gasped and gasped in surprise.

Unlike him, who had already achieved the Golden Core stage, for the disciples who were at the Ming Jin and An Jin stages, these ten points of Qi and Blood represented a significant amount of training.

Moreover, having already left the spiritual environment, the cells once again sensed the return of spiritual energy, and were all restless and frantic.

That hunger that comes from deep within their cells gives them a thrill, but it's not quite enough.

If even those who practice martial arts can't stand it, then it's even more unbearable for ordinary people who don't practice martial arts.

The power of the common people living in the capital increased several times in an instant, and this sense of fulfillment was unbearable.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god—"

"Ughhhhhh!"

"Waaaaah~~~"

Various silver horns echoed throughout the skies of Kyoto.

Those who have not cultivated themselves simply cannot resist the exhilarating feeling of such a sudden, several-fold increase in power.

Whether it's a man or a woman, an elderly person or a child, or a married woman!

From noble ladies in the imperial palace to ordinary peddlers, everyone was caught off guard and couldn't help but spit out the food repeatedly.

This is a sublimation of the essence of life, something that ordinary people who don't practice martial arts will never experience in their lifetime.

Ye Li's forceful delivery of vital energy threw the entire capital into chaos, making the sound somewhat obscure in this location.

Ye Li, who was in Tianjin, calmly withdrew his hand.

Sensing what was happening in the capital from millions of miles away, he nodded inwardly.

"In this way, by forcibly implanting qi and blood, and after experiencing it, one can wholeheartedly focus on unleashing the power of the Dao, and the resistance will be much less."

Without Ye Li needing to say anything more, the entire capital city was already in chaos.

After the initial boost, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, forgetting everything else and starting to take the panel seriously.

Ye Li, far away in Tianjin, only saw that loan orders in the capital city were growing wildly.

In just half an hour, tens of millions of people applied for continued loans, and this rate is still rising rapidly with no sign of stopping.

Ye Li did not tolerate these people.

Aside from the basic node in Tianjin, interest rates in other places have doubled.

Anyway, it's the only one, take it or leave it. If you don't want to borrow, there are plenty of people whose ancestors have taken out loans for eighteen years.

Overnight, countless people in the capital who had been stuck at the bottleneck of Ming Jin and An Jin for many years broke through on the spot.

The major local newspapers in Beijing immediately changed their tune.

The China Daily and other publications that were publishing lengthy criticisms of qigong yesterday have completely changed their tune, with the public opinion shifting dramatically overnight.

Personal Witness: Qi and Blood Martial Arts are the Foundation for Benefiting the Country and Its People

The miraculous art of Qigong and its revolutionary effects on martial arts.

……

In other parts of China, people stared in astonishment at the newspapers that changed their tune faster than turning the pages of a book, not understanding what had happened and whether the claim of qigong was true or not.

Then, on the third day, when another rosary reached the coastal city, no newspaper dared to go against the qigong anymore, and the tide turned completely.

In Tianjin, in a small courtyard.

Pei Taoyu placed a stack of newspapers on the stone table, her pretty face beaming with barely suppressed joy:

"Senior, the tide has turned completely. The newspapers are full of positive news, and no newspapers are spreading rumors anymore."

Zheng Leyao nodded in agreement, saying, "At this rate, in a few days Manager Ye will be famous throughout China and his name will be remembered for eternity."

Ye Li smiled calmly and said, "The problem isn't here. There's more trouble ahead. When we sent word to Tianjin before, Li Weiguang was able to find a mecha at the Core Formation stage."

"Now that the Qi and blood network continues to spread and has occupied the heartland of the capital and coastal cities, there will definitely be more people coming to cause trouble."

As Ye Li finished speaking, Li Cunzhen strode in from outside the courtyard, his eyes grave. He said:

"Master Ye, news has just arrived from the capital. The higher-ups want to invite you to the capital for a meeting to discuss the grand plan of the Blood Bank. The wording is quite polite."

"See, here comes the trouble."

Li Cunzhen, standing to the side, said solemnly, "Master Ye, as you instructed, there is another matter I wish to inform you of."

"Speak freely," Ye Li said with a smile.

"In the past few days, I have contacted many old friends who have reached the Dan level, and they are also in Kyoto, wanting to invite Master Ye for a chat."

"Very good!" Ye Li patted Li Cunzhen's shoulder gently, very satisfied.

Qi and blood martial arts, besides being promoted among ordinary people to win by sheer numbers,

They can also make a profit from the Danbao and Gangjin techniques.

These high-level martial artists, with just one Core Formation stage cultivation, possess the same amount of energy and blood as tens or hundreds of thousands of Transformation stage cultivators.

With spiritual energy waning, these cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage are stuck at their current level.

However, if Ye Li were to directly infuse spiritual energy into his head, the interest he would receive for each breakthrough would be enormous.

Although the total number of people who have reached the Dan level in the entire country is only a few thousand, it is far less than the number of people who could transform the entire Chinese nation into Hua Jin.

However, for Ye Li, facing a potential adversary with the Gang Jin skill, it was essential to quickly increase his confidence in the fight, and making a big profit in advance would be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Ye Li said directly, "Elder Li, book me a boat ticket to the capital. I plan to go to Kyoto to see your old friends who have reached the Dan Jin realm."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Li Cunzhen agreed without hesitation.

The map of China today is much larger than before, filled with vast uninhabited wilderness.

In the era when spiritual energy existed, large-scale spatial teleporters were used to connect two places, but after the separation of heaven and earth, such an inexpensive method was no longer available.

Without a spaceship, even a dantian would find it difficult to travel from Tianjin to the capital in a short time.

Hearing that Ye Li was about to leave, Le Yao, who was standing to the side, quickly raised her hand and said:

"Manager Ye, I want to go too. I've never been to the capital in my life. Can I go with you this time?"

Upon seeing Yue Yao speak, Pei Taoyu immediately said:

"Senior, I want to go to the capital with you too!"

Hearing their words, Li Cunzhen hesitated and said, "You two little girls shouldn't go. It's too dangerous along the way."

"A few days ago, a star destroyer went out of control and hit a light-speed spaceship from a distance, causing it to explode in mid-air. The explosion killed Li Weiguang, who was trying to escape in the chaos, and his body was never recovered."

"Then the company that manufactured the Star Destroyer, after the inspection, announced that the internal malfunction of the spacecraft was a low-probability event."

"I knew those foreign goods were of poor quality. We'll take Dan on a spaceship; even if it explodes mid-journey, we'll survive."

"But you two little girls, one with internal strength and the other with external strength, haven't reached our level yet. You shouldn't be doing this dangerous Western stuff in your lives."

Hearing Li Cunzhen's words, Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle.

He glanced at the two girls, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, it's good to go to the capital and see what it's like."

Seeing Ye Li speak up, Li Cunzhen stopped trying to stop him.

After giving a brief reply, he immediately went to arrange the boat tickets.

Upon hearing that Ye Li was going to the capital, the relevant matters were completely settled within an hour.

……

Tianjin Airport, Launch Pad 7.

This was built entirely by foreigners in Tianjin. Under the huge dome are countless spaceships on display.

It's called a spaceship, but it's more like an airship!

The ship that Ye Li was about to board was about three hundred feet long. Its surface was made of an unknown material, smooth as a mirror, and shimmered with a dark blue light.

Because the trip to the capital was rushed, only Pei Taoyu, Le Yao, and Li Cunzhen accompanied them. Before leaving, the grandmasters, including Yang Guicang, looked reluctant to part with them.

"Immortal Master, this is the foreigners' light-speed spaceship!" Li Cunzhen stood aside, explaining with his knowledge, afraid that Ye Li wouldn't understand.

"I heard it uses some kind of curvature bubble or something to achieve extreme speed; it flies incredibly fast, capable of traveling at near-light speed."

"When the foreigners built this launch pad here, a soldier named Baodan tried to intercept it, but he was killed by the crash."

At this point, Li Cunzhen shook his head helplessly, revealing a hint of resignation.

The two women looked up at the enormous spaceship before them, marveling at the advancement of technology; even those who had reached the Golden Core stage could not withstand the creation before them.

Ye Li looked at the VIP ticket in his hand, which included a private single cabin. His gaze swept over the emblem on the spaceship, which indicated that it belonged to the Ford Corporation.

"In their past lives, they built cars; now that technology has advanced, are they building spaceships?"

Ye Li chuckled and waited for the ship with the others; the whole process was incredibly simple.

Attracted by a soft beam of light, the four were directly sucked into it by the anti-gravity force.

The VIP area is located at the front of the upper deck of the ship. Ye Li found his private room and pushed open the door. What came into view was an elegant space of about 30 square meters.

On the left is a brocade-covered couch and a small tea table, while on the right is a huge arched viewing window, which is currently semi-transparent and faintly glows with blue light.

The interior lighting is soft, with green plants in the corners and even a small bookshelf displaying a few trendy magazines.

The furnishings before him reminded Ye Li of his previous life in modern times.

The door was closed, and the cabin became completely quiet.

The entire interior is designed with absolute soundproofing, ensuring that no noise can be heard from any of the cubicles.

In today's world where martial arts are prevalent, wealthy families often use soundproofing methods to prevent being detected by martial arts masters.

However, when Ye Li channeled his inner energy and extended it outwards, he could easily pass through the closed door in front of him.

In his perception, in the detached house next door, Pei Taoyu did not rest as soon as she entered the door, but sat cross-legged with her palms facing the sky, constantly promoting her blood and qi and increasing her strength.

Ye Li nodded with emotion, it seemed the girl still hadn't recovered from the hatred of her family's massacre.

During this period of time, he not only did not slack off, but also practiced his skills even more diligently, as if he had an even stronger enemy that he had to defeat.

He guessed that this was probably inspired by his own story of "catching the cicada in eight steps," and he was preparing to become stronger as soon as possible to revive his family.

Looking into another private room, I saw Le Yao taking off her white clothes and preparing to take a shower in the private bathroom.

Having no intention of continuing to spy, Ye Li immediately withdrew his divine sense and casually picked up a few magazines from the bookshelf next to him to browse.

Soon after, the starship started up, broke out of the atmosphere, and entered a stable sub-light speed cruise state, heading towards the distant capital city.

Outside Ye Li's room:

"Tap, tap, tap."

Three somewhat muffled knocks broke the silence inside the house.

Ye Li put down the magazine in her hand with some confusion, wondering who would be looking for her at this time.

Ye Li put down the book in his hand and slowly stood up. He walked slowly to the door, pushed it open, and saw a pretty young girl standing in front of him.

Instead of her usual white dress, Zheng Leyao wore a long dress with a slight pink tinge.

Her exquisitely beautiful features did not display an icy demeanor that kept strangers at arm's length, but rather a hint of nervous shyness.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, her face was lightly made up, and in the soft light at the doorway, her eyes were brimming with unspoken words.

"Manager Ye, it's me, Le Yao."

The girl's voice was even softer than usual, and her eyes darted around, revealing a blush on her collarbone.

He gently swayed his raised right toes, placed his hands lightly behind his back, and smiled:

"I think there's something wrong with my martial arts posture, could you...?"

As she spoke, Le Yao's heart began to race, a mixture of anticipation and fear of rejection.

Ye Li smiled slightly; this girl was quite direct.

He was now in a state of detachment and didn't mind this little incident. Since the girl was interested, why not?

"Come in, your posture is wrong, isn't it? Let me show you."

Ye Li smiled and spoke first about the other party's request.

The girl was slightly taken aback, then blinked twice, but Ye Li gently pulled her hands into his arms.

Immediately, he gently closed the door behind him, his movements fluid and natural. The next moment, however, Yue Yao exclaimed in surprise:

"Don't touch me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut, completely cutting off all sound.

"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, shopkeeper..." she said before she could finish.

Almost at the same moment, in the next room.

Pei Taoyu, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, focusing on cultivating her qi and blood, had her long eyelashes tremble almost imperceptibly.

She did not open her eyes, and her blood and qi circulated smoothly throughout her body as she devoted herself entirely to cultivation.

"Get stronger! Become even stronger! I must become stronger than my seniors!"

"Only by becoming strong enough can I monopolize my seniors; I absolutely cannot allow anyone else to touch them in the slightest!"

Introverts improve themselves, extroverts enjoy the world!

In another world, where there is no surveillance, Yueyao is ushering in the opening of a new world.

As for Pei Taoyu?

All we can do is wish her a smooth spiritual journey and that her dreams come true soon!
