Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 234

If not, then look for other people. This batch of goods weighs over a hundred tons, and they will eventually have to sell the goods to turn them into cash. There will always be some clues.

He Yuzhu said, "This is just background information, and it's not useful to us for the time being. You need to help me find the location of the warehouse in question. Are there any other warehouses there? I need to go check in the middle of the night to confirm whether there are any of our goods in the other party's warehouse."

"Can you do it?" Elena asked incredulously.

"What? You actually doubt my abilities?"

Chapter 174 Advancement to the Core Formation Stage

Elena blushed slightly, then suddenly remembered their encounter in the middle of the night. After regaining her senses, Elena felt He Yuzhu's passion and clearly felt his magnificent figure.

Although the majority of the population in Russia is white and the men are generally quite muscular, He Yuzhu is no less impressive than them.

Elena blushed, thinking that if she could become He Yuzhu's lover, test his abilities, and have a passionate lovemaking experience, that would be a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately, all the silk she had acquired with her entire fortune had been stolen, so she had no interest in trying to seduce He Yuzhu; she only thought about it briefly.

Then he said, "Don't do anything reckless. Andrei has many men under his command, and they are all armed. It's just that the goods were lost. I don't want anything to happen to you either."

"Don't worry, I know martial arts. As long as I'm careful, no one can stop me."

"But..." Elena wanted to persuade her again.

He Yuzhu said, "This is all the savings of our four families, so of course I have an obligation to find the lost silk."

Elena thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go and gather information."

When it was dawn, Elena went out directly, and He Yuzhu opened the system to check it.

It has been a long time since He Yuzhu entered the Huajin realm. Throughout this long period, He Yuzhu has always insisted on practicing every day. Seeing his experience gradually increase, He Yuzhu has always had enough motivation to persevere.

Just before setting off north, He Yuzhu, through years of hard work, finally mastered the Hua Jin cultivation technique on the train.

He originally planned to wait until he returned to the capital and find an auspicious day to break through to the Core Formation stage.

But life is unpredictable. More than 100 tons of silk have been lost right under his nose. He has to risk his life to find the goods. He has no choice but to make a breakthrough now.

He Yuzhu added the experience, and the panel instantly changed:

[Skill: National Martial Arts Level: Baodan (1/800)]

At this moment, He Yuzhu stopped looking at the panel and focused his mind on preparing for the promotion.

My master, Jiang Zhensheng, failed when he was about to advance to the Dan realm, and was left with hidden injuries and physical weakness, which led to him being ambushed by the Japanese later.

He Yuzhu didn't want to repeat the same mistake, after all, there were still many things he needed to do.

Once the panel showed the formation of the elixir, the previously docile vital energy suddenly began to boil within the body like bubbling water.

The vital energy distributed throughout the body's meridians and flesh seemed to be attracted, and all of it converged in the lower dantian.

The vital energy in the dantian begins to rotate around the central point on its own, and the vital energy entering the dantian is mutually restrained and attracted to gather at the very center at a certain speed.

When the energy is transformed, the vital energy is relatively thin, but now it is becoming increasingly solid. At first, it only appeared as a sesame seed-sized entity, and then it emitted infinite gravitational force, causing the gathering speed of vital energy to gradually accelerate.

Soon all the vital energy was attracted, rushing into the sesame seed like moths to a flame. Its volume gradually expanded, and it quickly devoured all the vital energy, shrinking to the size of a chicken egg.

After a short while, the speed of the Yuan Dan's rotation gradually decreased, and finally calmed down, quietly floating in the center of the dantian. Then, streams of Yuan Qi emerged from the Yuan Dan and flowed into the meridians.

Previously, the vital energy was as thin as air, but now it has been condensed and sublimated into vital liquid.

The same volume has increased countless times, and He Yuzhu can feel the infinite power contained within.

The master's biggest regret was failing to achieve the Golden Core, and in the limited time he had left, he repeatedly emphasized the risks of achieving the Golden Core to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was still a little confused. Was the process of embracing the elixir completed so smoothly?

Embracing the elixir, the spirit is concentrated like a golden elixir, and one's conduct is always well-rounded. Embracing the elixir while sitting on the hips concentrates the essence, energy, spirit, blood, and marrow of the whole body into a single point, just like the tiny point that evolved into the vast world at the beginning of time.

This skill, though described in such a mysterious way, is actually just about concentrating all the energy in the body into the dantian, and then unleashing it with a bang. The closer the energy is concentrated, the stronger the explosive power.

Once one successfully forms the Dan (elixir), one can reach the state of controlling Qi and blood with one's mind. Then, one can use Qi and blood to stimulate the body's hidden points, thereby further conditioning and enhancing physical strength. Physical strength and speed can exceed twice that of the Transformation Realm. Breaking the limits of the human body, every move can unleash a force of over a thousand pounds.

A single lunge covers twenty paces. The stamina required is approximately seven or eight horse-drawn stamina. A master of Dan Jin (a type of internal energy cultivation) was considered an immortal in ancient times, much like a monkey evolving into a human, or a human becoming an immortal.

He Yuzhu first got up to wash and change into a new set of martial arts clothes, and then went to the back courtyard.

This place was originally turned into a garden, but it has long been dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.

The large area left open was enough for He Yuzhu to conduct drills.

Standing in one corner, then lightly touching the ground with the toes, I gracefully lunged forward.

Just as his master had described, He Yuzhu had already covered a distance of twenty or thirty meters in the blink of an eye and arrived at the other wall.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu stopped it in time; otherwise, he would have walked through the wall immediately after the surge in orders. Although he wouldn't have been injured, it would have been quite embarrassing.

Through this swoop and pull, He Yuzhu discovered that his abilities had improved several times over.

When one is in a state of neutralizing internal energy, one is still like a relatively strong ordinary person, not yet outside the realm of ordinary people, but merely a martial arts practitioner skilled in martial arts.

However, current experiments show that he has already surpassed the range of ordinary people, and can leap twenty or thirty meters away in an instant, and a distance of 100 meters can be covered in just a few seconds.

Moreover, in this high-speed motion, one's thoughts can come to an abrupt halt, and the transition from extreme speed to stillness is only a matter of a moment.

He Yuzhu then pulled out a silenced pistol and fired a shot into the distance.

Just as the gun was about to fire, He Yuzhu suddenly raised his hand and pinched the bullet that had just come out of the barrel between two fingers.

Upon closer inspection, the tiny bullet head already bore marks from being pinched by fingers, with the marks dented towards the center.

After discarding the bullet, I looked at my two fingers and found them completely unharmed, without a single mark.

He Yuzhu was extremely satisfied. Successfully entering the realm of Embracing the Core has great benefits. Putting aside everything else, his lifespan can be increased by several decades, which is the biggest advantage.

However, discussing lifespan is too early for He Yuzhu at the moment. The most obvious benefit is that he has enough self-protection ability in the upcoming actions.

It's this unpredictable movement and incredible speed that makes it impossible for the opponent to aim at you.

If you can't even aim, how could you possibly hit yourself?

Moreover, He Yuzhu had also conducted tests, showing that even when chopped with an axe, the skin could not be broken, thus demonstrating that he was not afraid of ordinary cold weapons.

Moreover, He Yuzhu has the ability to catch bullets with his bare hands; even if a stray bullet gets close, He Yuzhu can catch it.

He even considered testing whether he could shoot himself with a handgun to see if his skin could stop the bullet.

Let's see whether the bullet's penetrating power is stronger or your own skin's protective power is higher.

He Yuzhu held the pistol to his calf and gestured for a long time, but finally gave up. "Forget it, it's not necessary. I'd better not do anything reckless."

After all, it's my own body, so I have to take care of it. It really did pierce my calf, which affected my subsequent actions.

After the test, He Yuzhu gained a clear understanding of his own strength. He was as swift as a rabbit and as still as a mountain. He possessed the strength of thousands of pounds and the reaction speed to catch bullets with his bare hands.

This is indeed just as his master taught him. He Yuzhu has transcended the realm of ordinary people. If this were in ancient times, people would only call him an old immortal.

After all, with his abilities, he is invincible in the world. Even if tens of thousands of people surround him, he cannot be killed. What else could he be but an old immortal?

He Yuzhu laughed heartily. Losing the goods was no big deal for him at the moment. He had enough strength to get them back and make the other party pay a bloody price.

In the afternoon, Elena returned from outside and said with some delight, "I asked around and found out that there is Andrei's warehouse not far from the wholesale market."

Do you know where his house is located?

"I also know that he made his fortune, and I even found out about his history."

Elena gave He Yuzhu the specific addresses and drew a simple map with descriptions of landmarks in various locations, making it easy for He Yuzhu to find the places.

Andrei's rise to power was quite dramatic. He met General Levmira at a party. Although he still held the rank of general, he was mainly responsible for the production and management of industrial products.

He had always wanted to curry favor with General Levmira, but had never been able to get in. Then one day, he let the general see his beautiful wife. The general invited Andrei's wife to dinner, and when she returned, disheveled, she brought a list with her.

Andrei knew perfectly well that his wife had become the general's mistress, but he didn't mind; he could just find another mistress.

With his wife's help, Andrei thrived and quickly opened a wholesale market, helping the general sell supplies and earning a considerable profit.

"No wonder these business people don't seem like businessmen." He Yuzhu now understood that these large-scale business people were not businessmen by origin, but agents pushed out by powerful and influential people.

Elena said, "If we look for some small businesses, they are very disciplined in doing business, but they don't have enough strength to take on our goods."

He Yuzhu carefully reviewed all the information and memorized the map. He said, "It's okay. My goods aren't so easy to swallow. If they take my goods, I'll make them hand them all over to me obediently."

Elena was very worried and said, "You just need to make sure the goods are still in his warehouse, and then we'll figure out a way to get them back. Just don't get into any conflict with them; they're all ruthless villains."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Elena was very worried that something unexpected might happen when she saw that He Yuzhu wouldn't listen to her advice. This wasn't just a fight where you might get hurt. You should know that once a conflict breaks out, the other party doesn't care who you are and will just start shooting. Nine times out of ten, you'll lose your life.

Elena tried to persuade him, but He Yuzhu wouldn't listen and insisted on his own way.

Elena finally made up her mind, stood up, sat on his lap, and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, saying, "But I'm worried something will happen to you."

Then she murmured, "Come love me, I want to give myself to you before you leave."

He Yuzhu had long been attracted to this foreign beauty, but he never expected her to come to him at this time.

What are we waiting for? He Yuzhu scooped her up and carried Elena into the bedroom.

It wasn't until midnight that He Yuzhu finally got out of bed, feeling refreshed, and went to wash up and change into his night clothes.

Elena leaned against the headboard, looking at He Yuzhu, who didn't seem very strong on the surface, and wondered why there was such explosive power in his body.

He had exhausted himself after a whole night of working himself to the bone, but He Yuzhu was still full of energy and vitality.

He Yuzhu quickly got ready, stepped out the door, jumped out of the yard, and ran towards the warehouse.
