Chapter 114: Meeting a Noble Person and Breaking Through the Golden Body!
"Not bad at all, I've obtained six Spirit Crystals. This trip to San Yuan City wasn't in vain!" Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the six First Order Spirit Crystals in his hand.
A good start, isn't it?
Although the "spirit bodies" of the six devouring spirit insects he just killed only provided him with less than half of Yao Lingjiu's mental power amplification, the future opportunities and benefits that these six First Order Spirit Crystals could bring were enough to make up for several months of his cultivation!
"A small San Yuan City has six lurking devouring spirit insects. It's clear that there are quite a number of devouring spirit insects that have arrived on Earth with the second demonic calamity!" Liu Zimo muttered to himself, feeling more confident and assured about his journey into the wilderness this time.
Perhaps, it wouldn't take too long before he could achieve complete success in his cultivation and push his mental power cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm!
"Master, you're so amazing!"
Two little girls, one on each side, hugged Liu Zimo's arm, their faces filled with envy.
"If we could also envelop the entire city with our spiritual domain like Master, that would be great!"
Liu Zimo smiled and encouraged them softly, "Of course you can! As long as you diligently cultivate in the future, there will always be a day when you catch up with your master!"
The progress of spiritual cultivation was inherently difficult and slow. Although the two little girls had extraordinary aptitude, it wouldn't be easy for them to advance to the Spirit Abyss Realm.
Haven't you seen Master Zhiyuan, who practiced for more than sixty years before barely advancing his spiritual soul cultivation to the Spirit Sea Realm?
Even though spiritual energy was now abundant, whether it was martial arts or spiritual cultivation, the speed of cultivation had clearly improved compared to before.
But it was equally difficult for ordinary spiritual cultivators to step into the Spirit Sea Realm or even the Spirit Abyss Realm. It was definitely not something that could be easily achieved in three to five years, or even ten to eight years of cultivation.
Moreover, even if the two little girls had outstanding talent and could successfully advance to the Spirit Abyss Realm in the future, the spiritual domain they could release might not be as exaggerated and vast as Liu Zimo's.
After all, Liu Zimo had never been alone in his cultivation!
The growth rate of his mental power and soul strength was much faster and stronger than that of ordinary spiritual cultivators!
Otherwise, Yao Lingling, who had been trapped in his sea of consciousness, wouldn't be in despair and howling every day.
"Advisor Liu, we are also willing to help build the city's defenses and directly join the military department to contribute to the defense of San Yuan City. Can you give us a chance?"
Seeing Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, and Sun Zhuo all walking out of the office alive, the remaining five leaders of the local forces couldn't sit still.
Seeing that Liu Zimo had been ignoring them all along, as if he had forgotten about them, someone took the courage to speak up and make a request.
They could all see that the reason why this Advisor Liu spared their lives was because they still had some use.
But now, the three largest forces in the city had all been incorporated and sent on missions, so their safety was assured.
And the five of them seemed to have become dispensable, completely ignored.
In this situation, if they didn't show some initiative, they might end up meeting Jiang Shijie, Zhao Sanhe, and the other dead ghosts underground soon!
"What about you guys?" Liu Zimo's gaze swept lightly and he said in a low voice, "Take your people and clean up all the corpses of the scattered monsters in the city!"
"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, you go teach them how to collect the corpses of the monsters and send all the resources you collect to the military warehouse at the military headquarters!"
"Yes, Master!"
Lou Xiaoxiao and Ye Feihong bowed and took the five people, flying away.
As Liu Zimo's direct disciples, both Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were constantly practicing their skills in collecting monster corpses while hunting monsters in the wilderness.
Now, letting them be teachers and teach those novices was simply too easy.
They had just left when Lei Jun rushed in from outside in a hurry.
"Advisor Liu!"
From a distance, Lei Jun reported loudly and eagerly to Liu Zimo,
"Longtai Group and Sanhe Gang have both surrendered, and I have ordered the young and strong ones among them to go outside the city to help build defenses!"
"What do you need me to do next, Advisor Liu, just give the order!"
Lei Jun looked at Liu Zimo with hope and eagerness, waiting for Advisor Liu's next instructions.
Now, he truly completely admired him!
Not to mention anything else, just the ability to make all the monsters in the city fall to the ground and suffocate to death, one after another, was enough to make Lei Jun, the head of the military headquarters, completely worship him!
It was truly amazing!
God knows how shocked he was a few minutes ago when he saw tens of thousands of monsters in the city, one after another, falling to the ground as if they were drunk, and suffocating to death at the same time!
In that instant, Lei Jun seemed to have witnessed a miracle and had the impulse to kneel down and worship!
It wasn't until he saw Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, Sun Zhuo, and others taking advantage of the opportunity when the demonic beasts in the city were unable to get up, continuously sending their own young laborers and warriors to the riverbank outside the city to build defenses.
Only then did he understand that all of this was done by the advisor Liu who came to the capital.
For a moment, Lei Jun was amazed by Liu Zimo, completely convinced!
Perhaps the one-hour appointment earlier could really be fulfilled!
"Next, we naturally need to reorganize military discipline, reorganize the public order in the city, ensure the basic living security of the residents, and restore the legitimate status of the military participation in the hearts of the people as soon as possible!"
"As for the specific methods, I already have effective templates here. You just need to copy them!"
Saying that, Liu Zimo handed Lei Jun a copy of the "Post-Apocalyptic Urban Management Measures" compiled by Yang Sisi based on the actual experience of Luozhou City.
It detailed the successful management experience of Luozhou City and the specific implementation strategies of the military merit system.
Lei Jun only needed to follow the instructions and execute accordingly!
Lei Jun took the book with both hands, held it carefully, and flipped through two pages, suddenly brightening up.
He never expected that many of the administrative management plans recorded in this book actually coincided with the governance plans he had previously envisioned, and some were even more detailed and comprehensive than his own plans!
It was amazing!
In an instant, Lei Jun had a feeling of meeting a like-minded person and really wanted to get to know the expert who could develop such a set of management plans!
He hadn't met a friend who could be so compatible with him in terms of ideas for a long time!
Liu Zimo was not surprised at Lei Jun's reaction at all.
After all, the current management system of Luozhou City was copied from the military management system of Sanyuan City thirty years later.
Lei Jun, as the main person in charge of Sanyuan City, was even a direct participant in the development of this management method. It would be strange if he didn't feel familiar!
However, after thirty years of evolution and improvement, this management system was naturally more comprehensive and perfect than the systems Lei Jun initially envisioned thirty years ago.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Lei Jun showed a familiar and admiring expression when he saw this relatively mature management system.
"Alright, leave these matters to the administrative staff below to handle." Liu Zimo spoke to Lei Jun again, "Next, you have more important things to do!"
More important matters?!
Lei Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly handed the book in his hand to the nearby guard, instructing him to immediately deliver it to the deputy participant for research and execution.
Then, Lei Jun straightened his posture and looked solemnly at Liu Zimo:
"Advisor Liu, if you have any instructions, please speak up!"
"I mentioned before that my time is limited, and I won't stay here for too long!" Liu Zimo continued, "At most, another half an hour. After the situation in San Yuan City stabilizes, we will leave directly."
"At that time, whether you can control Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, and the others, and maintain the current situation, will depend on your own abilities!"
Lei Jun's heart skipped a beat. Are they really leaving so soon?
When Lei Jun heard that Liu Zimo and the others would leave San Yuan in half an hour, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Before this, although Liu Zimo had mentioned multiple times that they would leave soon and not stay here for long, Lei Jun always thought it was just a figure of speech. He thought "soon" would be a few days, weeks, or even months.
Who could have imagined that Liu Zimo's "soon" meant the "one hour" he mentioned earlier!
This... is too fast, right?!
He wasn't mentally prepared at all!
Lei Jun took a deep breath, feeling extremely anxious.
The reason why he dared to challenge Jiang Shijie, Zhao Jiahong, Li Changsheng, and others was all because of the influence of Advisor Liu.
If Advisor Liu suddenly left, would Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, Sun Zhuo, and the others obediently follow the military's control?
There's no need to think about it. Those gangsters would definitely raise their flags again and resist the military's authority at the first opportunity.
There's nothing he could do. Who asked their military department to not have a few powerful martial artists? Without powerful martial artists to hold the fort, firearms and other weapons lose their fundamental deterrent effect. Who would still consider their military department important?
"Now, I'll give you two choices."
Liu Zimo seemed to not notice the disappointment on Lei Jun's face and continued:
"One is that before I leave, I personally take care of Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, and the others, relieving you of your worries."
"Secondly, before I leave, I will directly elevate your martial arts cultivation to the Golden Body Realm, giving you the strength to suppress them!"
With Liu Zimo's final words, Lei Jun's somewhat downcast mood was instantly reinvigorated.
Is there even a need to think? I must choose the second option!
If he could truly successfully break through to the Golden Body Realm, what would he have to fear?
Whether it was the Changsheng Martial Arts Academy, Xia'an International, or the underground fighting competitions, he could take on anyone he wanted to.
However, is this even possible?
The Golden Body Realm is the Innate Realm in martial arts, the starting point for a martial artist's transformation beyond the ordinary. It's not something that can be easily broken through.
Although Lei Jun is already at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm, just one step away from the Golden Body Realm, countless martial artists in San Yuan City have been stuck at this one step.
Not to mention Lei Jun, just look at Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, Sun Zhuo, and the deceased Zhao Jiahong in San Yuan City. They have all long since advanced to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.
But until now, Lei Jun hasn't seen anyone who could take that step and advance to the Golden Body Realm ahead of him.
And at this moment, this consultant envoy from the capital actually said that he would help him break through to the Golden Body Realm.
Listening to the tone and expression of Advisor Liu, it seemed as if this matter was as easy as drinking a glass of water, extremely effortless!
Thinking back to all the amazing things Advisor Liu had boasted about before, it seemed that they had all come true. Lei Jun's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement as he looked up at Liu Zimo.
"I choose the second option!"
Lei Jun immediately responded.
Perhaps this Advisor Liu could really help him break through and achieve his long-awaited Golden Body Realm.
Swish!
In Lei Jun's expectant gaze, Liu Zimo reached into his jacket pocket and took out a wax-sealed [Breakthrough Pill].
"A wise choice!"
"Fortunately, I brought a [Breakthrough Pill] with me when I left, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to directly promote you!"
Saying this, Liu Zimo handed the pill directly to Lei Jun.
"This is a [Breakthrough Pill] recently developed by the Luozhou Military Department. It can directly promote any martial artist at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm to the Golden Body Realm. It is most suitable for you to take now!"
Lei Jun's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out with both hands to receive the pill.
Out of trust in this envoy from the capital, he didn't hesitate and swallowed the [Breakthrough Pill] directly into his stomach.
Boom!
The pill melted in his mouth, and an immense spiritual energy and medicinal power surged through his body.
Lei Jun didn't dare to slack off even a bit, quickly activating his proficient [Thunder Breathing Technique] to absorb and refine this spiritual energy and medicinal power.
In just a moment, a faint golden light began to emanate from his body.
The golden light gradually deepened, becoming rich and dazzling after a few breaths, making it impossible to look directly at.
At the same time, Lei Jun's body involuntarily floated up.
Through the nearby window, he flew straight up, ascending more than a hundred meters, and suspended himself in mid-air, motionless.
Like a blazing sun, radiating golden light, creating his own domain!
All the soldiers and guards of the military department below were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Tens of thousands of soldiers looked up, their faces filled with disbelief as they gazed at Lei Jun, who emitted golden light in mid-air like a god-like figure.
"Golden Body Realm!"
"This is the symbol of a martial arts expert successfully breaking through to the Golden Body Realm!"
"Great, great! Lei Director has finally succeeded, becoming the first Golden Body Realm martial artist in our San Yuan City!"
"Now, our military department is saved!"
"I want to see who dares to look down on our military department in the future, who dares to come and raid our food?!!"
"..."
The entire military camp erupted in cheers.
Even Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, Sun Zhuo, and others who were outside the city walls, commanding their subordinates to build defenses, heard the cheers from inside the city and couldn't help but look up.
The golden light was dazzling, competing with the sun!
"This...this Lei Jun, actually broke through to the Golden Body stage before everyone else?!"
"How is this possible?"
"But Lei Jun had just reached the peak of the Iron Bone stage less than a month ago. How could he have advanced so quickly?!"
"It must be that advisor Liu's doing! It must be!"
"Otherwise, with Lei Jun's martial talent, there's no way he could have surpassed me in breaking through to the next stage!"
Seeing Lei Jun break through to the Golden Body stage, Li Changsheng, Xia Bei, Sun Zhuo, and other martial artists who were also at the peak of the Iron Bone stage couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy.
At the same time, they realized that in the future, the military would likely be respected in the city of San Yuan! Even if that advisor Liu and his disciples were to leave San Yuan, with Lei Jun, a Golden Body stage expert, stationed in the city, who would dare to challenge him?
"This Lei Jun is really lucky!"
"He encountered a benefactor, not only dominating San Yuan City, but also breaking through to the Golden Body stage ahead of time, saving years or even decades of cultivation!"
Everyone felt bitter and envious, sighing at why such good fortune didn't happen to them.
Half an hour later.
The golden light around him faded, and Lei Jun's floating body gradually descended.
Feeling the martial power in his body now ten times stronger than before, Lei Jun's mood was extremely excited.
"Thank you, Advisor Liu!"
Lei Jun appeared in front of Liu Zimo, bowing deeply and sincerely expressing his gratitude.
Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said, "No need to thank me. Just protect San Yuan City well for the country, and don't let the residents suffer from demonic disasters again. That's enough!"
"Yes!" Lei Jun stood up straight, saluted, and said loudly, "Rest assured, Advisor Liu, I will live and die with San Yuan in the future! It is my duty, and I have no regrets even in death!"
"Good!"
Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction. Lei Jun said this, and he had done the same in his previous life.
He had great trust in Lei Jun, the military advisor.
"Here, I brought some martial arts secrets from Luo Prefecture. It's up to you to decide whether to let the military practice and enhance their strength or to promote the military merit system to the entire city's population!"
Lei Jun quickly reached out and took the martial arts manuals that Liu Zimo had taken out of his bag from behind.
Looking down, he saw the supreme martial arts of the Dalin Temple, the Great Strength Vajra Palm and the Yi Jin Fumo Gong. Lei Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Was it necessary to be so stimulating?!
Advisor Liu actually took the inheritance martial arts of the Dalin Temple right from the start!
Could this be trouble for himself?!
If the monks of the Dalin Temple found out about this, would they just let it go?!
"Don't worry, these techniques were all unexpected spoils of war obtained by our military department. No one dares to say anything!"
Seeing the doubt and concern in Lei Jun's eyes, Liu Zimo said calmly, "In fact, the Dalin Temple has already relocated to Luo Prefecture. The martial arts secrets you see here from the Dalin Temple have already been approved by the Dalin Temple's wise master. Anyone can exchange them for cultivation!"
Lei Jun couldn't help but widen his eyes again at these words.
He had experienced the behavior of the monks of the Dalin Temple before.
They all looked down on other sects and martial families, considering their own martial arts inheritance more important than their lives.
The military department had tried to purchase some martial arts techniques from the Dalin Temple more than once, but they were all mercilessly rejected by those monks.
Under normal circumstances, they would never agree to reveal even a bit of their martial arts, let alone core secrets like the Great Strength Vajra Palm and the Yi Jin Fumo Gong!
However...
Although Lei Jun found Liu Zimo's explanation somewhat unbelievable and even incomprehensible, he unconditionally chose to believe it!
As the martial arts advisor of the military department, Liu Zimo had no reason to lie to him about this matter.
With these thousands of years of top-level martial arts inheritance, Lei Jun believed that it wouldn't be long before a large number of martial arts experts emerged in San Yuan City!
At that time, even if the demonic disasters and beast tides were to occur again, they wouldn't have to passively defend without any counterattack, as they had done in the previous two incidents!
