Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

The rising flames caused the entire Linjiang City to shake violently. Countless people ran out of their homes in fear, looking confused.

"There was an earthquake in Linjiang?"

"Why didn't the Earthquake Bureau notify us in advance?"

After a brief panic, the citizens quickly calmed down after realizing that the tremor was not strong.

It's not that everyone is careless. The main reason is that since the beginning of earthquake monitoring records in Linjiang City, there have been one or two small or weak earthquakes below magnitude 3.0 every year on average. These earthquakes have basically caused no casualties or property losses.

This is also related to the complex geological structure of Linjiang City. There are many fault zones distributed in the territory. Any slight change in the energy of the underground veins can easily cause earthquakes.

In the past, geological monitoring departments would issue early warnings, unlike today when it came so suddenly.

At this time, the underground dragon veins of Linjiang Waterside have gathered into a surging force, and once it erupts, it will be enough to cause a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.0.

At the critical moment, Ye Qingzhou moved his mind and controlled the nine fire dragons to devour all the evil fire from the earth's core in a siphoning manner. Finally, he took it all into the furnace of heaven and earth constructed by his own flesh shell for refining and absorption.

"Nine fires to refine the body, one breath of pure yang, finally it's done!"

Ye Qingzhou sat still, as if there was a volcano about to erupt inside his body. It was only because he used his powerful life magnetic field to compress it tightly and comfortably that he avoided a shocking and violent explosion.

Otherwise, Linjiang City, with a population of 5.5 million, will be reduced to ruins and scorched earth.

"Is this the strongest skill recorded in the Yan Yang Bao Zhuan, the Pure Yang Qi? It is indeed very powerful, worthy of being the inheritance left by the Yan Emperor."

The nine divine fires have now converged into one, transforming into a ball of yang energy as strong as the scorching sun. It is extremely strong and pure, as if it contains infinite vitality and infinite energy.

"The only flaw in the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace method I created was that it required the accumulation of energy first. Now that I have this pure yang energy, I can skip this step."

The violent evil fire was gathered and compressed by the life magnetic field into a miniature sun, floating in Ye Qingzhou's Dantian Qi Sea, constantly emitting light and heat, like a miniature nuclear fission device, continuously outputting energy to Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou felt it carefully and found that he could directly absorb the evil fire from the core of the earth, fission it, and thus obtain endless power.

Feeling the drastic changes in his body, Ye Qingzhou casually took out a top-grade long sword from the gilded jade gourd, then squeezed it hard and actually crushed the top-grade long sword in his hand.

"My physique is comparable to that of top-grade equipment. Now the Grandmaster's attack is no different from a tickle to me."

Ye Qingzhou wanted to continue the test, but Yingyue knocked on the door with her cell phone: "My dear, Dr. Gu is calling you."

"Hello~"

"Ye Qingzhou, what are you doing? The earthquake monitoring bureau of Linjiang City found that the epicenter was right at your home. Are you going to scare everyone to death?"

"Ahem, I'm just practicing."

Gu Minghui couldn't help but complain: "Before you make such a big move next time, can you report it to the authorities first? I don't mean to hinder you on purpose, but at least you should give us some psychological preparation."

"Okay, definitely next time."

Ye Qingzhou also felt a little guilty. How could he have thought that such a big scene would happen? Fortunately, he succeeded, otherwise if something went wrong, half of the city’s population would probably die with him.

When martial arts reaches this level, every move can draw the power of the planet. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a human-shaped natural disaster.

A master-level strong man does have the ability to destroy a super-large city if he wants to.

"You succeeded in reaching the Grandmaster level?"

Gu Minghui deduced Ye Qingzhou's current level of cultivation in the blink of an eye. After all, he had used up earth vein energy that was enough to cause a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, which was a sign that the evil spirit had entered his body.

And judging from the scale of this time, Ye Qingzhou is definitely a leader in the Grandmaster realm.

"Well, I have already cultivated the evil spirit into my body and become a martial arts master."

"..."

Gu Minghui felt suffocated when he heard this: "How long has it been? It feels like I just took a nap and you became a master."

In fact, he didn't know that Ye Qingzhou had been exploring in the Cangyuan Realm for more than 20 years and had already figured out the way of mind martial arts. That's why he was able to trigger cell resonance, build a powerful life magnetic field, and successfully refine the evil.

Moreover, Ye Qingzhou, who has gathered the nine divine fires, has refined the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Evil, one of the most powerful evil energies in the world!

"By the way, Agu, I just happen to need your help with something."

"..."

Gu Minghui looked depressed: "You used to call me Dr. Gu, but now that I have become a master, you should call me A Gu. When you become a martial arts saint, won't you call me Xiao Gu?"

"How about I call you Xiao Gu now?"

"!!!"

After a few jokes, Ye Qingzhou got down to business: "Will you take the job of repairing an aircraft carrier?"

"What's the matter?"

Gu Minghui's eyes bulged out after hearing this, and then he asked nervously, "Did you sneak attack the Xiji country's naval fleet and steal their aircraft carrier?"

"Why would I steal their antiques? The ship is over 30 years old. I wouldn't even bother to take this kind of industrial waste if it was given to me."

Ye Qingzhou looked disdainful and said, "I have something more powerful, a flying magic steam battleship. Can you repair it?"

"Magic steam battleship?"

After listening to Ye Qingzhou's detailed description, Gu Minghui's eyes lit up: "Where did you get this thing?"

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me if it can be fixed."

"That must be possible!"

Gu Minghui patted his chest and agreed. No matter whether it was repaired in the end or not, he would first take the technology of the Pioneer Star Cruiser into his own hands.

Ye Qingzhou was not stupid. He knew what Gu Minghui was up to, but he didn't care. "Let me make a deal first. You must do everything you can to repair the battleship. Don't break it. And I won't pay a dime for the repairs. Can you agree to that?"

"No problem. Do I need this little repair money from you?"

Gu Minghui naturally didn't care. After all, it was the Tianji Research Institute that paid for it, and he didn't have to pay a penny. He could just pay for it directly when the time came.

Ye Qingzhou was also happy to find free cattle and horses to help him repair the warship, so the two sides hit it off and each got what they needed.

…………

Kuaiji City, Fujian Province.

Sanduao Naval Base is the largest naval base in Dongji Country.

Relying on the terrain, a large semi-enclosed harbor was built here, which not only has good shelter conditions, but also can provide a safer berthing environment for ships in the bay, and even has the ability to hide large warships and aircraft carriers.

Ye Qingzhou came here by plane with Gu Minghui. As soon as he got off the gangway, three generals sent by the Southeast Navy and a senior executive of Tiangong Group came to greet him in person.

"Dr. Gu."

"Mr. Ye."

"Welcome to Kuaiji City."

As the second party of this "aircraft carrier maintenance" project, Tiangong Group was confused when it first received the order and thought Gu Minghui was joking.

The same goes for the Southeast Fleet. A ten-kilometer-long magic steam battleship sounds very magical no matter how you listen to it.

If this project did not need to be kept secret, the welcoming team would probably fill up half the airport by now.

After receiving a high-level reception and having a rare meal at public expense, Ye Qingzhou, after eating and drinking to his heart's content, followed the people of the Southeast Fleet to a secret military port.

When Ye Qingzhou took out the Pioneer interstellar cruiser from the space in the Xuan-Yuan Sword, everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe, as they watched in the dazzling sword light a giant warship that had never existed in human history, which grew from small to large, from virtual to real, and finally slowly floated on the sea.

The ten-kilometer-long battleship is like a small island, and its size is beyond imagination.

Even though Ye Qingzhou had given warnings and prepared himself mentally, when everyone actually saw it with their own eyes, they were still deeply shocked by the huge size of the Pioneer.

"The tower spirit on the battleship is still working. The information you need can be retrieved from its database."

This time, Ye Qingzhou obviously intends to strengthen cooperation with the officials of Dongji Country, otherwise he would not allow them to obtain scientific and technological knowledge about magical civilization.

Anyway, this knowledge is of little use to Ye Qingzhou. After all, he wants to follow the path of martial arts, and technology is just an auxiliary to him.

But Dongji Kingdom is, after all, the most evolved modern civilization on Blue Planet, and its culture and ideological core are in the same vein as Da Qi.

If the two sides can strengthen their ties, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of Da Qi. This is why Ye Qingzhou is willing to share the Pioneer.

"I'll leave the maintenance to you guys."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. We will do our best to help you repair the warship as soon as possible."

After Ye Qingzhou left, a young major general couldn't help but ask, "Is this a private warship?"

"more or less."

"Our country strictly controls even guns, so we can't allow private ownership of warships, right?" "Don't mess around, Mr. Ye is the prince of the Luosha Women's Kingdom, and his two sisters are both martial arts masters with the combat power of the eleventh realm of the Heavenly King Martial God. You dare to steal his things, are you going to die?"

The major general, who was about to say something, immediately shut up.

To a powerful Martial God, the battleship in front of him was at most a large toy. There was really no need to make enemies with the two Martial Gods for such a small thing.

What's more, Ye Qingzhou has been generous enough to allow the official to obtain the magical knowledge on the warship. This is the technological crystallization from another world and another civilization, and it is extremely valuable to the Dongji Kingdom.

As everyone knows, Dongji Country is the country on Blue Planet that is best at reverse engineering. Even if they cannot directly dismantle the warship to find out what's inside, just being responsible for repairing it is enough to get a glimpse of the truth about the magic civilization.

…………

On the way back, Ye Qingzhou received a call from Lu Jingyao.

The other party begged in a tearful voice: "Please, Ye Qingzhou, save Yan'er."

Hearing that his old classmate Li Yan'er was in trouble, Ye Qingzhou frowned: "What happened? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

Later, after listening to Lu Jingyao's story, Ye Qingzhou learned that Li Yan'er was missing. Because she disappeared abroad, although her parents reported the case to the police in China, there has been no news until now.

Helpless, Lu Jingyao thought of Ye Qingzhou, so she called him to see if there could be any turnaround.

"Why is she going abroad for no reason?"

"A classmate introduced her to me. As you know, Yan'er's talent is not outstanding, and the cost of martial arts training is very high, so she wants to make money by doing live broadcasts."

It turned out that Li Yan'er was selected by an MSN agency called Karen International. The other party promised to make her famous and arranged for her to go to Europe to attend the Fashion Week.

If this is true, this is indeed a good opportunity for people to become famous overnight.

Li Yan'er was skeptical at first about such a good thing that seemed like pie in the sky, but the other party's procedures were very complete, and the company's boss was a well-known philanthropist in the province, often making local news headlines.

So Li Yan'er didn't think much about it and decided to give it a try. It was really too difficult for an ordinary person like her to become famous, so she wanted to seize every opportunity.

As a result, after going abroad, she disappeared inexplicably in the hotel she was staying in.

Li Yan'er's parents went to Karen International to ask for her release, but the MSN company turned the tables on them, saying that Li Yan'er had run away on her own and even held up the contract to demand compensation for breach of contract.

"Ye Qingzhou, please, can you help Yan'er?"

Lu Jingyao was obviously very worried about Li Yan'er's safety, so she begged Ye Qingzhou desperately.

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

Li Yan'er had helped him before, and he would remember the favor for a thousand years. Although Ye Qingzhou had a cold heart, he never cared about the life and death of people who had nothing to do with him.

But I will always repay those who have helped me.

On the way back, Ye Qingzhou went directly to Xingcheng and met Lu Jingyao at the gate of Mingde Middle School.

"Ye Qingzhou."

Lu Jingyao's eyes were still red, obviously she had just cried. When she saw Ye Qingzhou, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and greeted him with a forced smile.

Ye Qingzhou asked, "Who was the person who first introduced Li Yan'er to Karen International?"

"It's Liu Fang from our class. What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with her?"

"If you have any questions, why don't you ask her and find out?"

…………

Liu Fang left the school humming a ballad. From her brisk steps, it could be seen that she was in a good mood at the moment.

She was holding her phone in her hand, about to use the ticket booking app, while she was fantasizing in her mind: "There happens to be a new movie released this weekend, why not just go and watch it with Xu Yongxing. Li Yan'er is gone anyway, he should accept me, right? He definitely will!"

"Are you Liu Fang?"

Looking up, Liu Fang saw a handsome and heroic face.

"Oh my god! Why do I feel more handsome than Xu Yongxing? "

Liu Fang's heart was in turmoil instantly, and she immediately forgot about Xu Yongxing, the school hunk whom she had once loved to the extreme: "I was hit on, what should I do?"

"Well, my book number is..."

She obviously mistook Ye Qingzhou for a boy who came to chat with her.

But Ye Qingzhou had no interest in her book number, and his tone was extremely cold: "That's good, how much do you know about Li Yan'er's disappearance?"

Hearing the words 'Li Yan'er', Liu Fang panicked instantly: "I... I don't know what you are talking about. I want to go home."

"Sure enough, you know the inside story."

There was no need to use the sword's heart's perception. Ye Qingzhou could tell that the girl in front of him was lying just by relying on his keen observation.

"So, you already knew there was something wrong with Karen International."

"I...I don't understand what you are talking about. If you keep pestering me, I will call the police."

After saying that, she quickly raised her phone.

Zheng~
puff~
Ye Qingzhou didn't waste any words and directly cut off her right palm holding the phone with a sword, without any thought of showing any mercy.

The severed hand fell to the ground, blood spurting out. It was not until a few seconds later that Liu Fang felt the piercing pain in his wrist.

In the end, Ye Qingzhou got the information he wanted. He took out a piece of silk and wiped the blood-stained sword. His eyes were cold and he said, "Karen International, there is indeed something wrong."

Liu Fang did not have good intentions when she introduced Li Yan'er to join Karen International.

…………

Karen Building, President’s Office on the 18th floor.

Liu Fang's parents were sitting on the sofa at this time, and opposite them was a middle-aged man with a full forehead and a decent look.

"Fangfang really helped me a lot this time. Mr. Smith is very satisfied with the candidate she recommended."

The person who spoke was named Yu Zhijiang, the founder of Karen International.

As for Liu Fang, she is his niece.

Liu Fang's parents were very happy after hearing this, and they also hoped that Liu Fang could join Karen International after graduation and work hard with Yu Zhijiang.

"Brother, the Li couple is not giving up now and is going to sue us in court. Will something bad happen?"

Yu Zhijiang looked disdainful when he heard his sister's words: "Sue me? Where's the evidence? There are so many people who want to go abroad these days. Why arrest me without evidence?"

"That's good."

Click~
The office door suddenly opened.

Yu Zhijiang was very unhappy: "How many times have I told you to knock before coming in!"

As a result, he looked up and found that the young man who came in was a stranger, and his eyes made him a little frightened: "Who are you? Who let you in! Someone come here!"

"Don't shout. No one will come even if you shout your throat out."

As Ye Qingzhou spoke, a pungent smell of blood came into the office. Outside, the thugs trained by Yu Zhijiang were already lying on the ground, with blood everywhere.

"Where is Li Yan'er?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Her disappearance has nothing to do with me!"

Zheng~
Hanmen moved instantly, and one of Yu Zhijiang's arms was cut off.

Ye Qingzhou held his sword at an angle with an expressionless face, and continued to speak nonchalantly: "You still need one hand and two feet, think carefully before answering."

"Kill... kill someone! Someone come quickly!"

Yu Zhijiang's sister shouted for help, but the voice suddenly stopped.

I saw a sword mark between her eyebrows, piercing through her brain, ending her life instantly.

"Quiet."

Ye Qingzhou closed the door of the office casually, and his cold eyes continued to fall on the two people who were still alive: "Li Yan'er's whereabouts."

Yu Zhijiang was terrified when he saw his sister's body. He was good at playing with legal provisions and knew how to use money to build a network of connections that could protect himself.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingzhou is not a person who likes to talk about evidence, and he has no intention of pursuing procedural justice.

"Don't kill me...I...I said!" (End of this chapter)
