Martial Arts Crossover: Me, the Immortal Venerable, Opens a Pawnshop in the Martial Arts World

What kind of astonishing rewards will be given to those who rank even higher in the future?

At that time, people in the martial arts world will surely go crazy for it and fight tooth and nail!

……

Ren Woxing, who had been rescued by Linghu Chong and others, stood at the headquarters of the Sun Moon Sect, staring at Dongfang Bubai's life story, his face ashen.

He set a trap to coerce others back then, all in an attempt to seize power.

Unexpectedly, the other party's personality changed completely because of this, and she truly fell in love with the man...

Furthermore, he broke through the shackles and entered the realm of grandmaster!

How easy is it to eliminate such a person?

Just as Ren Woxing's expression was changing unpredictably.

The reward for ranking twenty-ninth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking suddenly appeared—

[Dongfang Bubai! He has mastered the Sunflower Manual to its pinnacle, ranking twenty-ninth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking!]

[Reward: An advanced version of the "Sunflower Manual," capable of restoring one's male body and returning to one's original state!]

When the extraordinary phenomenon of the Heavenly Ranking first appeared, countless living beings throughout the Nine Provinces were shaken.

"Reborn as a yang being?"

"What? It can grow back after being cut off?"

"Dongfang Bubai used to injure himself to cultivate the Sunflower Manual, eventually reaching the Grandmaster level. Now, having ranked twenty-ninth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking, he has been granted a modified version of the Sunflower Manual, allowing him to regain his manhood?"

"In other words, this person gained the power of an unparalleled divine skill for free, but the side effects were borne by the Heavenly Dao?"

"I was just lamenting how heavy the cost of this attack method was, and then..."

"So I was the fool all along?"

……

Xu Nian stared at the reward details appearing in the sky, muttering to himself with a face full of resentment:

"I take back what I just said... It was so cheesy! I just couldn't help it!"

"I thought that my master-level cultivation was an irreversible price paid for with my life's blood and sweat, but who would have thought that they could take it all back in the blink of an eye."

Ling Tian chuckled and teased, "What, are you interested?"

"Why don't you also go and find the Sunflower Manual? If you really master it and make it onto the Heavenly Ranking again, you might be able to get the same reward."

"At that time, my power will increase to an unimaginable level, and I won't suffer any losses."

"Not at a disadvantage?"

Xu Nian suddenly picked up the wine bowl, gulped down a large mouthful, and asked irritably:

"If it's really that cost-effective, why don't you go practice?"

"Perhaps next time, you, Master Ling, will be at the top of the Heavenly Ranking!"

"Oh……"

Ling Tian chuckled lightly, his tone indifferent.

It was just a casual remark. A perfect version of the Sunflower Manual?

A mere Grandmaster level?

In his eyes, they were nothing more than dust.

With a wave of the hand, all illusions can be annihilated!

Inside the Eastern Depot's Grand Hall in the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Zhengchun had been sitting upright with a calm expression, but the moment he saw the rewards on the Heavenly Ranking, he suddenly stood up and his face changed drastically.

"The Sunflower Manual...can restore a man's virginity!"

His cold, sharp eyes were fixed on the words of the Heavenly Ranking in the void. His mind, which had been as still as water for many years, was now surging like a raging tide!

Resurrection!

For ordinary people, it may be insignificant.

But only those who have personally experienced disability can understand how deadly the temptation of "completeness" can be!

Cao Zhengchun dominated the court for decades, wielding immense power and wealth, and enjoying the highest status.

But the more this is the case, the more he longs for "restoring the original state"!

As long as I can regain my manhood, even if I have to give up all my current power and wealth, I can live a carefree life in this world with just my strength and savings, far better than I am today!

Not to mention, to experience the true taste of life that you've never had before!

envy!

The moment the list of the most powerful figures was revealed, Cao Zhengchun went completely insane!

"Search! Search our entire house!"

"Whoever finds Dongfang Bubai will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Who can personally present the Sunflower Manual to us?"

"Any official position to choose from! A reward of 100,000 taels of silver!"

Above the Sun Moon Cult.

Golden rays of light descended from the sky, enveloping Dongfang Bubai for a full minute.

When the light faded and Dongfang Bubai reappeared, he was completely different!

The alluring and graceful figure of the woman of the past has completely faded away, and a resolute Adam's apple has reappeared in her throat.

His aura was no longer feminine and charming, but exuded a dignified and robust masculine spirit!

Without a doubt—

Even though he couldn't transform into a woman using the attack technique, Dongfang Bubai still resolutely chose to cultivate.

He tugged at his collar, stroked his neck, and carefully felt every change in his body, his voice trembling with excitement:

"finally……"

"I finally, once again... touched my long-lost manhood!"

The headquarters of the Sun Moon Cult.

Ren Woxing stood frozen on the spot, his face ashen, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

"It can be restored?!"

"An advanced version of the Sunflower Manual... even faster cultivation speed?"

When he handed the Sunflower Manual to Dongfang Bubai, his original intention was to plot against him and ruin his reputation.

But now, Dongfang Bubai not only received a stronger version of his attack technique as a reward from the Heavenly Ranking, but he was also able to reverse his damaged body, and his cultivation progress increased exponentially!

This……

His belief crumbled instantly!

Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong, and the others looked at each other in silence.

Originally, Dongfang Bubai's master-level strength was already something they could hardly reach.

And now...

The other party's flaws and defects have now been completely healed.

What makes them think they can stand up to Dongfang Bubai?

……

The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao sat reclining in the palace garden, letting the beauty in his arms offer him a bunch of glistening grapes. He took a small bite and sighed leisurely.

"The land of China is vast, with seven great dynasties standing side by side, boundless and limitless. Yet, how has my Great Ming Dynasty ever been inferior to others?"

"It is regrettable that to this day, no one has been able to make it onto the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking."

"Your Majesty, why should you worry?"

The beautiful woman lightly flicked her jade-like fingers, lifting his chin, and softly laughed:

"Of the thirty-odd seats on the Heavenly Ranking, only two names have been revealed so far."

"Heroes of our Great Ming Dynasty will surely emerge in the future!"

"Um……"

"What you say is absolutely right!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily and gently stroked her beautiful face with his large hand.

[Ranked twenty-eighth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking—Guo Bujing, Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review of the Ming Dynasty, known in the martial arts world as "Guo the Great Hero."]

"Guo the Great Hero?"

"It really is him! He's on the list!"

"The Ming Dynasty has produced a remarkable figure; Zhu Houzhao was indeed blessed with good fortune!"

"Another name I've never heard of... Just how many extraordinary people are still hidden in this world?"

The previously restless crowd suddenly fell silent because of this message.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the list displayed in the sky, his eyes filled with satisfaction:

"Finally, someone from our Great Ming Dynasty has made it onto the list!"

……

"Father! It's my father!"

"My dad made the list!"

Guo Furong cheered with joy, just like a carefree young girl, her voice clear and crisp like a bell.

Upon hearing this, all the heroes and outlaws in the martial arts world were shocked and paled.

The names on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking are like myths to them, beings they can only look up to from afar in their entire lives.

They only dared to admire it from afar, never daring to hope for any connection with it.

But who would have thought—

This "Master Guo," ranked twenty-eighth on the Heavenly Ranking, is actually the father of this little girl in front of us?

In an instant, everyone's minds raced back to their past words and actions:

Did I...act rudely to this girl just now? Did I offend her?

"Guo Juxia's strength is known to all."

"It's not surprising that they made the list."

The prince sat upright in his chair, his gaze slightly lowered, his expression calm.

He was not surprised at all by Guo Furong's identity—he had known the five of them for many years and was well aware of their family background.

"Your Highness makes it sound so easy."

The gaunt old groom grinned, revealing yellowed teeth, and spread his hands, saying:

"But this isn't a mortal ranking; it's the Heavenly Ranking of the Nine Provinces, established by the immortals!"

"Those who make it onto this list are all unparalleled masters, unmatched throughout history."

"Yang Guo is still at the half-step Grandmaster level, while Dongfang Bubai is a true Grandmaster!"

"Guo Juxia is ranked twenty-eighth, actually surpassing a true grandmaster. This weight... should not be underestimated!"

Old Huang had been traveling the martial arts world for decades and had seen Guo Bujing in action before, so he had some understanding of Guo's cultivation level.

But he never questioned the ranking.

This is because it is the Heavenly Ranking of the Nine Provinces!

Making it onto the list is already incredibly difficult, let alone competing for a high position.

Guo Bujing displayed martial arts prodigy from a young age, and after mastering the "Fifteen Forms of Surging Waves," his skills soared to new heights.

[At twenty, he entered the Six Doors (a government agency), rose through the ranks, and eliminated countless traitors for the Ming Dynasty.]

At the age of forty, he rose to the position of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, becoming a pillar of support for the members of the Six Doors (a government agency).

[Throughout his life, he upheld justice and spoke out against injustice, truly a paragon of chivalry.]

[Currently forty-five years old, he has long since broken through to the Grandmaster level, possessing a solid foundation and a perfect cultivation realm.]

After everyone finished reading this comment, their previous surprise and doubt vanished, replaced by a deep sense of awe.

"I see... Although I had never heard of him before, he truly is a grandmaster!"

"The Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking is indeed no exaggeration!"

"From now on, those who make it onto the list will likely all need to be at least Grandmaster level..."

"The land of Kyushu is teeming with hidden talents and powerful figures; it's terrifying!"

"This is the true mark of a great hero; we should all strive to emulate him!"

On the city tower of Xiangyang, the evening breeze fluttered the flags, stirring the hearts of the people.

Guo Jing stared at Guo Juxia's past deeds, his expression slightly taken aback.

Both surnamed Guo, both chivalrous...

But the other party not only reached the Grandmaster level, but was also revered as "the greatest hero among heroes"...

In comparison, even though Guo Jing had never been one to crave fame, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.

"Uncle Guo, there's no need for that."

Yang Guo saw through the turmoil in his heart and said softly:

"Based on your life's deeds, you are unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and your brilliance is second to none. The only shortcoming is that your cultivation level is still lacking."

"Yes, Brother Jing."

Huang Rong held Guo Jing's broad, kind hands and said softly:

"Throughout your life, you have lived with a clear conscience, performed countless acts of kindness, and never ceased helping the weak and needy..."

"Compared to that great hero Guo, he only lacks a body full of extraordinary cultivation."

"Rong'er, Guo'er, I'm alright."

With the two men's gentle words of comfort, the lingering melancholy in Guo Jing's heart quietly dissipated.

He had no intention of seeking fame or fortune.

It's hard not to feel a little sentimental when someone with a similar name but a completely different fate stands in front of you.

At this moment, the reward for Guo Juxia was also revealed—

[Guo Juxia, also known as Guo Bujing, ranked twenty-eighth on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking. He dedicated his life to chivalry and righteousness, accumulating immeasurable merit. He is hereby bestowed with a "Robe of Chivalry": it can accelerate cultivation progress and reduce the risk of qi deviation; the more righteous deeds he performs, the stronger its effect!]

The announcement of this reward caused a stir throughout the martial arts world, sparking much discussion.

"A chivalrous robe?"

"Such a wondrous object exists in this world?"

"Of course, it doesn't exist in the mortal realm, but the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking doesn't belong to the mortal world!"

"Doing good deeds can actually aid in spiritual practice? If you're paired with someone like Guo Jing, the initial stage of becoming a Grandmaster is probably not the end goal!"

"The Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking... is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; all the gifts it bestows possess divine power!"

In the Imperial Garden of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin looked at the list and couldn't help but marvel once again.

"Using chivalry to enhance cultivation and avoid the danger of qi deviation, tsk tsk, every item given by the Heavenly Ranking is extraordinary!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded in agreement, his expression calm and composed.

"Your Majesty, the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking transcends all reason. Since it exists outside this world, how could the prizes it awards be mere mortal items?"

Li Shimin leaned back in his chair, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he suddenly smiled:

"The Imperial Advisor."

"The list has now reached number twenty-eight. I wonder, with the Imperial Advisor's abilities, where would he rank if he were on the list?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled calmly, a deeper meaning hidden in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, heroes are rising up across the land, and a mere twenty-eight have already reached the Grandmaster level. Although this old minister has some confidence, I dare not underestimate the heroes of the world."

Li Shimin laughed heartily, his tone resolute:

"Why be so modest, Grand Preceptor? In my eyes, you are only one step away from reaching the realm of gods and demons!"

"Throughout the world, how many can rival the Imperial Preceptor?"

"Hahaha!"

This time, Yuan Tiangang did not refuse again, but simply cupped his hands and smiled:

"Then I am honored by Your Majesty's kindness."

Li Shimin was not the only one who thought so.

Even Yuan Tiangang himself knew this—

With his current strength, he is more than capable of securing a prominent position on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking!

Inside Yong'an Pawnshop, Lü Xiucai suddenly jumped up, his voice almost cracking with excitement:

"Hibiscus! This reward is practically a life-changing miracle for your father!"

"That's right!"

Xu Nian nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with envy:

"Master Guo is already a grandmaster; now, with the added blessing of the chivalrous robe, his cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"The next time the rankings are reshuffled, we'll probably go even further!"

"Hehehe..."

Guo Furong scratched her head and laughed, her eyes crinkling as if she were the one receiving the award.
