Chapter 294 Seeing Zhang Tao Again
After learning that Fang Ping could transform the power of heaven and earth, Lü Fengrou proposed an idea: to use Fang Ping as the engine in the power supply room to provide the power of heaven and earth, which could help sixth-rank peak martial artists quickly achieve the unity of essence and blood, thus rapidly increasing their combat power. Moreover, the power of heaven and earth has other effects, which can help with research and other things.
Of course, it's not just about Fang Ping making sacrifices; there will be some compensation as well. This can't be forced. If it were, Fang Ping could easily sabotage the supplied power of heaven and earth, blowing one or two sixth-rank experts up from the inside. The main problem is that Grandmaster-level experts all have their own matters to attend to and can't spare the time. Furthermore, the consumption of mental energy is also a problem for Grandmasters.
Fang Ping solved this problem perfectly. He can quickly recover his mental energy, making him practically a human engine. Moreover, he doesn't involve high-end combat power. What a perfect candidate!
With the combined power of a hundred luns of heaven and earth, only two steamed buns were consumed. Therefore, after some discussion among the group,
Ultimately, with Fang Ping's "voluntary" contribution, he was able to spare some time to maintain the Magic Martial Arts' energy supply room. In return, Magic Martial Arts also agreed to some of his reform ideas, provided that they did not disrupt the Magic Martial Arts' current stability. This can be considered a win-win situation.
After obtaining the power of heaven and earth supply room, the peak of the sixth rank can quickly reach the unity of essence and blood. Fang Ping can implement his own ideas in the magic martial arts and make major changes to it.
After understanding the situation of the Nanjiang Cavern, the members of the Magic Martial Arts team prepared to leave. The passage had been breached, and the next step was to establish a stronghold. Large-scale high-level battles would no longer occur, so the high-level reinforcements from various regions could withdraw. The mid-level reinforcements, however, could stay and explore. After leaving Cangshan, Lu Hao bid farewell to Lü Fengrou and the others.
He headed straight for Kyoto, since he still had quite a few energy stones on him. It would be better to hand them over to Zhang Tao in person and also exchange them for some Heavenly Golden Lotus or something similar, so he could go into seclusion and break through.
In Kyoto, Lu Hao had just gotten off the plane when he heard Zhang Tao's voice, "You're here to see me? You rushed over to Kyoto right after leaving the underground world. Did you make some big discovery, or find some important intelligence?"
Lu Hao wasn't surprised at all, since his purpose was easy to guess. Lu Hao nodded and said with a smile, "Minister Zhang, congratulations! You're going to make a fortune this time."
The next moment, the void shattered, and a passage appeared before them.
"Come in quickly, don't dawdle."
Zhang Tao's voice came from inside.
Lu Hao opened his mouth but didn't say anything more, and went inside.
On the other side was Zhang Tao's office. Upon arriving at the office, Lu Hao complained.
"Why are you in such a hurry, sir? You made such a commotion just now. What if someone noticed?"
"Don't worry, no one on Earth has been able to discover my methods," Zhang Tao said confidently.
After all, he knew his own strength; even ordinary peak-level experts were no match for him. Even now, in his battle against a peak-level expert from the underground caves, he was holding back.
I'm afraid of scaring them.
Zhang Tao felt he was already not much worse than Zhen Tianwang, so he wasn't afraid. If Lu Hao knew what Zhang Tao was thinking, he would definitely shake his head and say, "Ignorance is bliss! It's not that easy to surpass someone who's 50/50."
"Fine, if that's how you want it to be, I won't say anything more," Lu Hao said, pursing his lips.
"Hmph, kid, don't underestimate me. Don't think that investing in your old-fashioned stuff will make you any better."
"I reckon their current state isn't much better than they thought, which is why they're secretly investing in you geniuses, trying to control you to achieve their goals. If they were in a good state, they wouldn't need to control you to achieve their objectives," Zhang Tao said.
"Yes, Minister, you're right, that's exactly it," Lu Hao said with an expression that said, "You're right, I won't argue with you."
"Hey! Forget about that, what do you want from me? You were saying I was going to get rich, what good stuff did you find in the dungeon?"
"I heard you infiltrated the royal city of the underground city. What good stuff did you get?" Zhang Tao ignored Lu Hao's earlier teasing, assuming he was unaware of his strength.
"Minister Zhang, this time when I went in, I looted a batch of energy stones in the underground royal city."
Lu Hao looked at Zhang Tao's expression as he spoke.
"Did you steal a lot?"
"Around ten tons"
"Ahem, how much did you say?" Zhang Tao, who hadn't seemed to care at first, coughed lightly and picked up the spilled tea.
"Ten tons? I wouldn't lie to you," Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Good, good, kid, you've done a great job this time. By the way, can you pass on your method of concealing your aura?"
"If word gets out, it might not be as great as what you gain, but we'll definitely be entering a period of explosive growth for martial artists," Zhang Tao said with a smile.
He hadn't expected Lu Hao to give him such a big surprise this time. Originally, he thought that although the kid had managed to snatch some divine weapons or rare treasures, these were useful, but not as effective as a large quantity of energy stones. Energy stones could be used by everyone from the highest level to the lowest level of martial artists; they were the most basic thing. The government's reserves over the years were only 60 tons, and this kid had snatched back one-sixth of them in one go. Zhang Tao was really envious. Zhang Tao could see clearly that the most crucial thing was this kid's secret technique for concealing his aura and his storage equipment. He couldn't do anything about the storage equipment, but if he could master the secret technique for concealing his aura... "Minister Zhang, since you know about my actions in the underground cave, you should know what I'm saying. I really can't pass on the secret technique of concealing my aura. This isn't a secret manual or a cultivation method; it's like a bodily instinct to me."
"I only know how to use it, I don't understand the underlying principles. If I could pass it on, would I be keeping it a secret?" Lu Hao said helplessly. He genuinely didn't know the principles behind it.
"Sigh, having you is enough. I'm asking for too much," Zhang Tao sighed. He didn't think Lu Hao was lying, after all, he had seen everything Lu Hao had done, not to mention that Lu Hao had contributed the brain core localization method. In the past half month since Lu Hao left, with the help of some resources, he had restored the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to its original state and had indeed successfully discovered the brain core.
This allowed his mental strength to slowly increase at all times, and then he prepared to pass it on to others. This brain core positioning method was truly a great achievement.
"Then what's the deal with Fang Ping? How can he conceal his aura and enter the royal city to steal life essence?"
"I know a little about Fang Ping's situation. Just think of him as a special kind of resurrected martial artist. His abilities can't be passed on to outsiders. Although his performance is similar to mine, the underlying principles are probably worlds apart."
"A resurrected martial artist, huh? How about I throw you into the forbidden area of the underground cave? While you're in the forbidden area, let them go. There are lots of treasures in the forbidden area. Maybe you'll come out as a ninth-rank martial artist after a while. Anyway, no one will find you."
Zhang Tao pondered.
