I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 205 Great Memory Restoration Technique

"Brother Wen, it's time to take your medicine."

Ye Qingzhou took out the Human Essence Pill and handed it to Huang Liwen.

He is, after all, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor. Investing in him is not a loss. After all, the initial investment has now yielded more than a million times the return of the "Nine Dragons Emperor Map".

And how could the Yellow Emperor's lineage be inferior to that of the Yan Emperor?

Gold coins galore!

We need to collect tons of gold coins!

Huang Liwen was taken aback by Ye Qingzhou's enthusiasm. His gaze fell on the Renyuan Pill, and he shrank back, asking, "Do you have a quality inspection report for this medicine?"

"Brother Wen, we are dear friends and family, how could I possibly harm you? Don't you even trust me?"

"I can't trust him."

"Stop talking nonsense and take your medicine now."

"Oh well."

Huang Liwen verbally resisted, but his actions betrayed him. He had also begun practicing martial arts, and under the supervision and guidance of Yao Yexin and Yan Xiyue, he was making rapid progress.

Therefore, he instinctively sensed that the pill in Ye Qingzhou's hand would be of great benefit to him.

After swallowing the Human Essence Pill whole, Huang Liwen let out a burp.

Ye Qingzhou quickly asked, "Brother Wen, how are you feeling?"

Huang Liwen smacked his lips: "It tastes a bit sweet, and it's actually quite delicious. Is there any more?"

"..."

Ye Qingzhou clenched his fist, as big as a clay pot, and waved it in front of Huang Liwen: "I mean, didn't you recall any ancient memories?"

"No, I just remembered that beautiful woman with a magnificent figure I saw on the pedestrian street last week. I still remember her vividly."

"Looks like I'll have to use some major memory restoration techniques on you to uncover the secrets deep within your genes."

"This...this isn't necessary, is it?"

"Don't mention it, we're dear friends and family."

A dozen minutes later, Huang Liwen, who had been subjected to Ye Qingzhou's entire set of memory recovery techniques, still couldn't recall any useful information.

"Sigh~"

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Did I really rush things? Oh well, I'm a patient person after all. I'll just wait and see. If there's no feedback in three days, I'll twist your head off and examine it properly."

"..."

Huang Liwen shrank back in fright.

It's said that handsome men are lucky, and Ye Qingzhou's patient waiting finally paid off.

Whether it was the memory restoration technique from the daytime that had an effect or not, that night, around two or three in the morning, Huang Liwen called mysteriously: "Old Ye, I just dreamt of a sword! It was so golden, it almost blinded me."

"A sword? Isn't that a martial arts technique?"

Ye Qingzhou was a little disappointed.

Huang Liwen exclaimed excitedly, "Why do you sound so disdainful? Let me tell you, that's the Holy Sword Xuanyuan!"

Are you sure?

"I'd stake Nong Pengming's life on it."

"..."

Ye Qingzhou was speechless, but still chose to believe Huang Liwen's words for the time being. After all, Huang Liwen was the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor, so it was reasonable for him to dream of the Holy Sword Xuanyuan.

That is the Holy Sword Xuanyuan, one of the Eight Desolate Divine Swords!

Along with the Emperor Sword Dragon Abyss, it belongs to the top-tier divine weapon category. Among many divine weapons, its power ranks among the top three, making it the genuine number one divine weapon of the human race!

"Where is the Xuanyuan Sword?"

"Kunlun Grotto Heaven, the capital of the Emperor."

"Kunlun Grotto-heaven?"

Ye Qingzhou's expression was somewhat solemn. Unlike Lingyun Cave Heaven and Yanling Cave Heaven, Kunlun Cave Heaven was not only vast in area, but also contained extremely high-grade and superior-quality rare treasures.

Therefore, the number of martial artists who want to enter and explore it is so great that they could stretch from the Rhine to the Yangtze River; those without connections probably wouldn't even get a chance.

Unless they have connections!

Ok?

It seems I'm also a person with connections.

That's alright then.

Ye Qingzhou picked up the phone and called Gu Minghui, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time: "Old Gu."

"President Ye, are you planning to sell divine gold again? You've driven down the price of divine gold across the entire Eastern Pole Kingdom. The Northern Alliance is protesting to us, saying we're deliberately dumping it at low prices and disrupting the market."

Gu Minghui joked.

Recently, he made a fortune by helping Ye Qingzhou resell the divine gold, and he no longer lacks research funding. He can do whatever projects he likes, so he is in a great mood.

The Northern Alliance's protest was mainly due to the fact that the most abundant sources of divine gold were originally located within the Northern Alliance's territory.

Due to Ye Qingzhou's large-scale shipments, the price of Divine Gold has plummeted by about 20%, which is naturally very painful for the Northern Alliance, which relies on selling resources for a living.

If Ye Qingzhou hadn't been in Dongji Country, and if Gu Minghui hadn't been in charge of the specific operations, with Ye Qingzhou remaining hidden behind the scenes as the mastermind and his identity extremely mysterious, the Northern Alliance might have even considered hiring someone to kill him.

After all, this involves losses of tens of billions. How much does it cost to hire an assassin?

In real high-end business warfare, the methods are always so simple and unpretentious.

"I'm here to ask for your help. Could you please get me a spot to enter Kunlun Grotto Heaven?"

"Is it urgent?"

"Um."

Ye Qingzhou naturally hoped to get his hands on the Xuanyuan Sword as soon as possible, as it was a treasure among peerless divine weapons, ranking first in both power and fame.

Gu Minghui thought for a moment and finally promised, "Give me three days, and I'll try to smooth things over for you. As a researcher at the Tianji Research Institute, getting you a scientific expedition spot shouldn't be a problem."

"I need two spots."

"It's simple, just a matter of adding an assistant, but it will probably cost a lot of money, so be prepared."

"Approximately how much?"

"At least ten million, mainly because we need to hire a few bodyguards to accompany us, whose strength is about professional level six."

Gu Minghui claimed it was for the cost of hiring bodyguards, but Ye Qingzhou knew that it was simply someone trying to find a pretext to collect a toll.

"Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water," Ye Qingzhou said without objection: "Alright, I'll pay for it."

If this amount of money could be exchanged for a peerless divine weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword, it would be a huge profit, so Ye Qingzhou naturally wouldn't be stingy.

Gu Minghui didn't ask Ye Qingzhou why he wanted to go to Kunlun Cave Heaven, but he was a little curious: "The National High School Martial Arts League is starting in a few months. Are you sure you're okay if you don't train hard? I heard that this year's competition has specially made several rules, all of which are specifically aimed at you."

"Oh? What rules?"

"The first rule is that divine weapons cannot be used, because that would be unfair. Weapons will be distributed to the contestants before the competition."

Ye Qingzhou scoffed at this: "Unfair? In the past, scions of martial arts families could use rare or even top-grade swords to compete, while martial arts contestants from commoner backgrounds might not even have good or fine-grade weapons. Is that fair? Just because they don't have divine weapons, doesn't mean they can't work hard?"

"There's nothing we can do; the rules are set by them after all."

Gu Minghui shrugged. He was also a genius from humble beginnings, so he knew all too well the ins and outs of this.

"Ye Qingzhou, be careful not to capsize. Those sword invitations you sent out before have now spawned quite a few martial arts prodigies who have successfully entered the realm of divine mastery. They also have various high-level and even super-level martial arts inheritances. They have many trump cards, and they are all eager to step on you to reach the top."

"That's what makes it interesting."

Faced with the challenge, Ye Qingzhou remained calm and fearless, and even looked forward to it.

Three days later, Ye Qingzhou received a reply from Gu Minghui: "I have already applied for your scientific expedition spot. You can just join the group and go in."

Thanks.

"Haha, don't mention it, it's just a small favor."

It must be said that having connections in high places makes things much easier.

Linjiang No.1 Middle School, Grade 11 (7)

"Brother Wen, let's go."

"What for?"

"Go ask the teacher for leave. We need to go to Qinghai to enter Kunlun Cave Heaven. We're leaving first thing tomorrow morning. I've already booked the plane tickets. Time is very tight."

"???"

Huang Liwen looked shocked: "Holy crap, Lao Ye, are you serious? I just had a dream that the Xuanyuan Sword was in the capital city, I don't even know if it's real yet!"

"If it's not real, you're dead. I spent ten million, and I'll sell you to the Hehuan Sect to pay off my debts."

"!!!"

Huang Liwen panicked, his eyes brimming with tears: "Old Ye, I'm your dearest friend and family."

Ye Qingzhou thought his words made a lot of sense and nodded in sudden realization: "That's right, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. We have to pay more, so it'll cost 20 million. In the end, I'll still make a profit."

Huang Liwen burst into tears.

…………

Linjiang Airport.

drop drop~

The metal detector at the security checkpoint kept beeping, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Ye Qingzhou. He had placed the four swords, Longyuan, Yandi, Tianxing, and Feishuang, into his Xiayu Treasure Ring before leaving the checkpoint.

The reason the metal detector went off was mainly because Ye Qingzhou's martial bones and golden body contained a large amount of divine metal, which definitely wouldn't pass through security.

Ye Qingzhou had to take out his martial arts practitioner certificate before he was allowed to pass.

Those around them looked on with envy: "She's a professional martial artist!"

"So young!"

"And he's really handsome!"

Many women watched Ye Qingzhou's tall and straight back as he left, their eyes sparkling. After taking the Human Essence Pill, Ye Qingzhou's body became increasingly "perfect," full of vitality and energy. His attractiveness to the opposite sex naturally increased dramatically, making him a walking embodiment of hormones.

Huang Liwen, standing beside Ye Qingzhou, was completely overshadowed, which made him very resentful: "Old Ye, this isn't fair! I'm obviously handsome too, and after I took the Human Essence Pill, my body expelled impurities, and even Ye Xin and tide Yue praised me for becoming more handsome!"

"Oh ho, Ye Xin and tide Yue? Calling each other so intimately, are they dating?"

Ye Qingzhou made a joke.

Huang Liwen was immediately embarrassed and scratched his head, then chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem, actually, they're all very nice. I misunderstood them before."

"Tsk tsk~"

Ye Qingzhou warned him, "The demonesses and saintesses of the Hehuan Sect are not to be trifled with. Be careful not to let them deceive you and take advantage of you. Once you lose your essence and virginity, your future path in martial arts will be very difficult."

Ordinary romantic relationships between men and women don't really have much impact on martial arts cultivation. After all, if the Yellow Emperor's legacy were so easy to steal, it wouldn't have been able to continue to this day through bloodlines.

The Hehuan Sect is an exception!

The art of "replenishing essence" can indeed steal the essence and blood of the Yellow Emperor from Huang Liwen's body. At that point, given Huang Liwen's aptitude, he could only reach the level of a professional fifth or sixth dan at most in his entire life.

"No...it can't be that bad, can it?"

Huang Liwen was a little flustered. Recently, he had indeed been completely bewitched by Yao Yexin and Yan Xiyue.

Even if I know in my heart that they have ill intentions and are lusting after my body, they are still beautiful!

Two stunningly beautiful women are throwing themselves at you; how many men in the world could resist that?

Huang Liwen's ability to persevere until now is remarkable, given his nature.

"Do you believe them, or do you believe me?"

Ye Qingzhou turned her head and glanced at Huang Liwen.

Huang Liwen gritted his teeth: "Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes, I definitely believe you!"

"Trust me. Keep your distance from them for now. It's okay to take advantage of them by being affectionate and touching, but don't do anything further until you can control your own qi and blood and have perfect skin. Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers."

Huang Liwen's mind was a bit muddled at the moment: "I feel like there's something strange about what you're saying."

…………

Qinghai, Kunlun Mountains.

This place is located in the northwest, above the Qian position, hence it is also known as Tianzhu (Heavenly Pillar).

According to the sect records of Sanqing Mountain, the Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable, one of the three Venerables of Xuanzong, had his Daoist temple, Jade Void Palace, on a dangerous peak in Kunlun Mountain.

Unfortunately, for thousands of years, countless masters of the Xuanzong sect have been unable to find the correct location of the Jade Void Palace, and have even thought that the records in the ancient books were wrong, or that they were simply fake.

It wasn't until the cave heaven reappeared that the martial artists of the Eastern Pole Kingdom found the legendary Jade Void Palace secret realm inside the cave heaven.

In addition, Kunlun Grottoes also contains other famous secret realms such as Yaochi, Langyuan, Zengcheng, and Xianpu, which are extremely rich in resources and have a very complex ecological environment.

Kunlun Grottoes stretch for thousands of miles, covering a vast and boundless area. It is not only home to many rare and exotic flowers and plants from ancient times, but also to many rare birds and animals that are not found in other places.

This has attracted many experts and scholars to come here to conduct research and explore the mysteries.

The Tianji Research Institute has a certain number of research slots each year, so adding two people is not a difficult task; it can be done by spending money.

After getting off the plane, on the way to the airport exit, Ye Qingzhou, wearing sunglasses, said to Huang Liwen beside him, "I'm traveling with a new identity this time. From now on, I am Ye Long, a Red-level researcher at the Hunan branch of the Tianji Research Institute, so don't let it slip later."

Huang Liwen immediately became very nervous: "Should I also change to a fake identity?"

"Why? Nobody recognizes you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Liwen was indignant. Gritting his teeth, he said, "So what if you're number one on the Hidden Dragon List? I'm the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor! Am I arrogant? I don't care, I'm going to change my identity!"

"This is such a hassle."

Ye Qingzhou looked disgusted, but still took out her phone and called Li Jingshan: "Help my classmate change his identity... um... his name, let's call him Huang Wen."

"Wait, what's with this 'yellow literature' name? It sounds indecent!"

Huang Liwen protested loudly, but to no avail.

From this moment on, he became Ye Qingzhou's assistant, the research dog Huang Wen.

The entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm is located at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. After Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen walked out of the airport, the car that was there to pick them up arrived shortly afterward.

The people who came to pick them up were a man and a woman. The woman was Professor Li Yongli's student, a round-faced female master's student.

"Hello, I'm Fu Ping."

"I am Ye Long, and this is my assistant, Huang Wen."

Ye Qingzhou remained calm and composed in the face of Fu Ping, who exuded a strong scholarly air.

Huang Liwen, on the other hand, seemed somewhat timid and hesitant in the face of Fu Ping's superior intelligence and education, appearing rather dull.

The driver was a professional martial artist named Yan Lizhi.

Welcome to our team.

After glancing at Ye Qingzhou, Fu Ping became enthusiastic and began to talk at length about her mentor's research, revealing all the information about her mentor.

All I can say is that Ye Qingzhou was too handsome, making her somewhat unable to resist.

Ye Qingzhou also learned about Li Yong's situation through Fu Ping.

The other party is a biology PhD who specializes in the study of rare and exotic animals. He currently teaches at Imperial University and holds the title of professor. He is also a blue-level researcher at the Tianji Research Institute.

This is no ordinary thing!

It's important to know that in the ranking of the Tianji Research Institute, purple level is the highest, while blue level is just below purple level. At the very least, they must be authorities or academic leaders in a certain academic field.

Upon arriving at the camp, Ye Qingzhou met Li Yong.

The other person was plain-looking, short, and very thin, as if he would fall over if the wind blew him down, but his mental strength was extremely powerful.

Even among the martial arts masters Ye Qingzhou had met, few could compare to Professor Li before him.

A master of spirit cultivation!

"However, its weaknesses are quite obvious. It seems that the cultivation method focuses primarily on the mind and spirit, and is not geared towards combat."

Ye Qingzhou understood. The higher he stood now, the different the scenery he saw. He witnessed many strange and wonderful techniques and martial arts moves, many of which were not primarily for combat.

Don't assume these martial arts techniques are worthless just because they can't be used in combat.

Conversely, some support skills have greater strategic value than combat skills.

For example, special techniques that enhance spirit and wisdom, or even prolong life, often require extremely rare and precious items to practice.

Ordinary martial artists, let alone learn from it, probably don't even have the right to know.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. Cattle and horses can learn some simple but powerful martial arts moves. What do wild boars eat?

"Hello Professor Li, I am Ye Long."

"Yes, Gu Shenji has already told me about your situation. As long as you don't interfere with my research, everything else is up to you."

"Thank you, Professor Li."

Although Li Yong appeared somewhat indifferent, Ye Qingzhou thought it was fine this way. They were just strangers who had met by chance, so it was best for everyone to do their own thing and not interfere with each other.

At the research station, Fu Ping volunteered to arrange accommodations for Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen. She even wished she could stay there with them that night. When she left, she looked at Ye Qingzhou with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
