I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 536 - : Do you sell nuclear bombs?
Chapter 536: Do you sell nuclear bombs?
“Thank you, Grandmaster Yu, for your hospitality. I’ll be leaving for a few days, wishing you success in your breakthrough~”
After having his way with the Moon Fairy, Lu Yao felt refreshed and couldn’t resist playfully tickling her sole.
Yu Yanmei, exhausted from the ordeal, kicked him away and said with a flushed face and lingering charm, “Scoundrel, get lost now!”
Lu Yao grabbed her foot, as white as jade, and while playing with it asked, “Do you have enough gold?”
Previously hesitant to expose too much gold, he had given Yu Yanmei just enough—at 3,000 taels.
“It’s almost enough. If it’s not, I’ll just ask Peipei for more. Li Jinying brought the Empress Dowager’s treasury with her, and there’s some gold in there as well.”
...
“No need to go through all that trouble, I’ll give you some more.”
Lu Yao waved his hand, and a cascade of gold, at least ten thousand taels, poured onto the ground.
Yu Yanmei casually picked up a piece, noting its high purity.
Being given such a valuable cultivation resource in such quantity left her speechless for a moment, suddenly feeling an odd sense of being kept.
Lu Yao, in a show of wealth, said, “Don’t skimp, use as much as you need.”
In the space-time bubble, he had over a hundred tons of gold and silver, and Blue Star was no stranger to such riches.
He kissed the exquisitely delicate face of the Moon Fairy and said, “Then I’m off, bye~”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Before opening the light gate, Lu Yao summoned the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks with a wave of his hand.
He might need their help for this trip back home.
The Spiritual Sparrowhawks whistled in, affectionately rubbing against their owner.
Lu Yao asked, “Do you want to come back home with me for some fun?”
Eagerly, they nodded, flapping their wings excitedly.
“Then, we’ll stay back home for a couple of days.”
Lu Yao opened the green swirling light gate and returned to his homeland with the three ‘babies’.
His primary task this time was to see if Blue Star’s technology could assist with the Heavenly Tribulation.
This was not as simple as he had initially imagined. Letting the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks go off to play, he began to ponder.
On his last visit, he had dredged the Suez Canal, and now he was close to Suez City, where high-voltage cables were inevitable near urban areas.
As it happened, he passed by a row of overhead cables and yanked one off to test immediately.
Electric sparks crackled, as 500,000 volts of high-tension electricity shot through his body in an instant.
But Lu Yao was unharmed. Whether it was his organs, muscles, or even his skin and hair, nothing was damaged.
As someone at Flesh Realm, this was not surprising, but today’s test was not about his body.
Lu Yao’s Divine Soul left his body from between his eyebrows, reaching out to touch the electric sparks and even the cable itself.
However, there was no interaction between the two! His Divine Soul simply passed right through without any incident, as if they were not in the same world.
“As expected, it’s useless… After all, this type of current is but a mundane object.”
Lu Yao had been prepared for this outcome, so he wasn’t too disappointed at the moment.
Moreover, Otherworld had electricity, and yet no Spirit Refining Practitioner had ever used it.
“I need to think of another method.”
When in doubt on earthly matters, consult Baidu. Lu Yao took out his smartphone from the space-time bubble.
No sooner had he switched it on than a barrage of notification sounds filled the air, with several eye-catching messages from the bank.
Income from social platforms combined with the billion-dollar thank-you fee for dredging the canal meant his account balance had yet again breached ten billion.
Lu Yao nodded in satisfaction and then opened the browser to search for “lightning”.
At the top were various game ads and some educational content about lightning.
Bored, Lu Yao scrolled down, prepared for a long search, but to his surprise, he quickly found something of interest!
A news headline caught his eye — “Science Academy of Xia Country Makes Major Breakthrough in Artificial Lightning Experiment”
The news came with a video, which Lu Yao eagerly clicked to watch.
In the video, a few scientists launched a small one-meter-long rocket, similar to releasing a Sky-Piercing Monkey.
In just a few seconds, a bolt of red lightning struck precisely where it was meant to!
The video narrator explained:
[In this experiment, the Science Academy of Xia Country has successfully directed lightning to a predetermined location, achieving a significant breakthrough. This provides critical support for the study of the lightning process and its mechanics, as well as the development and testing of new lightning detection technologies…]
After watching, Lu Yao’s spirits soared!
“No need to break my back searching; what I need has come without effort!”
As shown in the video, the lightning from the sky is undoubtedly a natural force, and having it even slightly safer is exactly what I need!
Lu Yao quickly called the three treasures back home.
~~~~~~~~~~
On his way back, Lu Yao contacted Wang Guowei and proposed to buy a batch of the “Lightning Summoning Rockets.”
Wang Guowei replied gently, “Mr. Lu Yao, please wait a moment, I will check the video.”
As he watched the video, he was also buying time for the think tank behind him.
By this time, a group was already online, analyzing with fervor.
A refined, elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses and said:
“Lightning… I’ve recently been brushing up on many novels online, and it’s a critical component of cultivation. Mr. Lu Yao, you’re planning something big.”
There were scientists from related fields who said:
“It’s not a big deal; we can totally give it to him. But I propose—we take this opportunity to obtain his hair.”
“I object. This man is extremely cautious. This move is inappropriate and could harm the relationship between both parties.”
“It’s just hair, we’ve cooperated many times and have already established a basis for negotiation.”
…
This rare disagreement among the group continued for a while, but the ultimate secret of human evolution was right before their eyes, and they couldn’t bear to wait.
In the end, they decided to let Wang Guowei make a tentative inquiry.
“Mr. Lu Yao, the rocket matter is settled. You can come to the same warehouse in the suburbs of the capital as before,”
“Thank you very much, I’ll be right there,” Lu Yao said.
Lu Yao patted Ru Yi on the head and whispered, “Full speed ahead!”
The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks cried loudly, their wings abruptly flapping faster as they tore through the air towards the capital of Xia Country.
~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time Lu Yao arrived, Wang Guowei was already waiting for him.
By his side was a small launch platform the size of a dining table, with rockets as thick as an arm and a meter long on it.
Lu Yao leaped down, descending lightly onto the ground “riding the Qi,” defying all laws of physics.
This scene set many scientists’ hearts aflame with excitement.
Little did they know, Lu Yao’s heart was also ablaze, “Is this the Lightning Summoning Rocket?”
“That’s right,” Wang Guowei introduced, “This is the most advanced ‘conductive lightning’ technology in the world. You see, the rocket is wrapped with special alloy copper wire at the bottom, which can direct lightning to a specified location.”
“Excellent!” Lu Yao was very pleased. “How much? I’ll buy it, and I might buy even more.”
Wang Guowei, who had been neither humble nor arrogant, became somewhat respectful, “Mr. Lu, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is willing to give it to you for free.”
Lu Yao said with a half-smile, “Nothing is more expensive than something free. What do you want in return?”
Wang Guowei went straight to the point, “Your hair, just a few strands, for the sake of all humanity…”
Before the other could finish, Lu Yao flicked his hand and a small tuft of his own hair was pinched between his fingers.
He had already studied his own body many times using “Craft the Subtlety,” and although it was exceptionally tough, it was just a protein structure; many creatures in nature were even more miraculous.
Especially since he had dispelled the True Qi from his hair; therefore, there was nothing mystical about it.
To think that this could help uncover anything was wishful thinking; they would be better off developing things like spider silk.

But Wang Guowei’s eyes sparkled, his hand extended excitedly, trembling as he went to receive it, halfway through he remembered and pulled out a storage bottle from his pocket.
However, Lu Yao did not hand it to him but instead said something astonishing in the next second, “By the way~ are nuclear bombs for sale?”
“!!!”
Spoken softly and gently, yet it was like a thunderclap on a clear day.
Wang Guowei could no longer keep his composure, and his think tank erupted into discord!
All the “big toys,” food, even machine guns and missiles that Lu Yao had bought previously didn’t really matter; at worst, it was a circumstance of arms trafficking by warlords in conflict zones.
But a nuclear bomb was different! It concerned the very survival of humanity! It must not fall into anyone’s hands!
As the atmosphere grew incredibly tense, Lu Yao suddenly handed the hair to Wang Guowei, casually saying, “Just kidding.”
Wang Guowei was soaked in sweat, unsure of how to smooth over the situation.
Lu Yao said casually, “I care more about the peace and harmony of this beautiful planet than anyone else, I hope you don’t misuse this hair.”
With that, he beckoned, and the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks came forward to grab the “Lightning Summoning Rockets” and flew up into the high sky.
