He couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. Still, he figured it wouldn’t be a major issue. The appearance of the alchemy AI opened up more possibilities for Jiang Shu. For instance, the "Inner Strength Pill" of the Da Jing Dynasty was supposed to strengthen the internal organs, but this kind of strengthening was very rudimentary. As time progressed, its medicinal effect was far from sufficient. Through the AI, he could completely upgrade the formula for the "Inner Strength Pill" and enhance its medicinal power. Alternatively, he could use the alchemy AI to develop Earth Attribute elixirs specifically for tempering the spleen. After all, the further he progressed, the more resources he would have at his disposal. It wasn’t easy for Zhang Rui and his team to develop such an AI. Therefore, he sent a formula to Zhang Rui’s Weixun, one he had acquired at great cost from a Middle Grade Alchemist. This was for a Middle Grade elixir, the "Beautifying Pill," which nourished one’s appearance and, with long-term use, could even restore it. It was time to make good on the promises he had made. 「Martial Artist Alliance.」 With the exploration of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realms, numerous Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines and Mutant Beasts were discovered. The resource vault of Xia Country was growing ever more abundant. The Qi Blood Pill developed by the research institute was in its final stages. Once it hit the market, everyone in the future could achieve a great circulation of Qi and blood throughout their body! With abundant resources available, the number of Dark Force Martial Artists was also gradually increasing. After all, although Martial Arts emphasized Talent, the population of Xia Country was vast. Even if it was one in ten thousand, out of more than a billion people, that still meant over a hundred thousand! "It truly is an era of great competition. When Jiang Shu became a Young Hua Jing Grandmaster, I was still at Dark Force. When Shang Jibei suddenly became the fiftieth Grandmaster on the list, I was still at Dark Force. Can’t they share a little of their Talent with me!" "I’m just praying now that no third Young Grandmaster pops up; my mentality has taken a hit. But actually, it’s okay. Shang Jibei might be a Grandmaster, but he only made it at nineteen, after all. Plus, his old man is strong. He’s steadfastly in first place on the Grandmaster list, unshakable. Anyone who can fight him to a draw can hold second place." "Yes, Grandmaster Jiang truly has exceptional Talent. But now it seems he’s also showing signs of fatigue. He’s stuck at twenty-third place and probably can’t move up. It feels like Young Grandmaster Shang is very stable. He went down to a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm again. Being young is really great! He might even have a chance to push into the top thirty when he comes out! Plentiful resources and high talent—it really makes a difference!" "Another push, and I guess he’ll be similar to Grandmaster Jiang, reaching the top thirty at most. Think about how long they’ve been cultivating, versus how long those above them have been in the Hua Jing Stage. Some had even reached the Clear Force and Dark Force stages before the world changed and were on the verge of becoming founders of their own schools. It’s just that back then, Clear Force and Dark Force weren’t as powerful. Now that the world has changed, every one of them has undergone a complete metamorphosis. Our Xia Country usually keeps a low profile, but our foundation is actually very strong, you know!" "That’s for sure! We just caught the express train of this era. Those with deep foundations who suddenly erupted are the real monsters! Even though some are over a hundred years old, every Hua Jing Grandmaster lives to be at least one hundred and twenty! When it comes to the Dan Jin Stage, it means gaining another sixty years of life! If Xia Country doesn’t have any Dan Jin Great Grandmasters, I wouldn’t believe it even if you killed me!" "Don’t even mention it, I think I actually know one. When I was little, I always heard my family talk about an old Taoist in the mountain monastery who was incredibly powerful and saved many people. I didn’t understand back then and later moved to a big city. After I started practicing Martial Arts, I remembered this and went to visit. And guess what? The monastery had been completely renovated, and the old Taoist was nowhere to be seen. The young acolytes there said he seemed to have gone to Shengjing!" "Sigh, if only the Martial Artist Alliance could invite a Dan Jin Great Grandmaster to give lectures. I feel like I’m just one step away from the Hua Jing Stage! If some enlightened master could give me a sudden awakening, I’d take off immediately!" Dark Force Martial Artists, with some free time on their hands, were fervently scrolling through and commenting on each post. 「Meanwhile, in East Sea City.」 Jiang Shu, the protagonist of their posts, was liaising with the military. Before him lay the vast, boundless ocean. In front of the ocean, the army was stationed. Within the sea, warships patrolled back and forth. In the sky, fighter jets roared by from time to time, scouting for enemy movements. Jiang Shu took the C-class pistol and hand grenades, placing them into a waterproof bag. He walked step by step toward the ocean. Seawater entered his shoes but was instantly evaporated by his Vermilion Bird True Strength. Another step forward! The water grew deeper and deeper. Yet with each step Jiang Shu took, his body did not sink in the slightest! What had previously required high-frequency running to maintain for mere seconds, he now did with effortless grace. One step at a time! Walking on water! It wasn’t until he had advanced about a hundred meters that he finally stopped. His entire body plunged downward abruptly! The C-One Heaven and Earth Secret Realm of East Sea City. It was indeed located... In the sea. Three hundred meters underwater!
