You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 348 - 187: Listen to Me, Thank You

How this group of people regards ordinary individuals without a bloodline heritage is self-evident.

Even resorting to cunning and plundering, in their understanding, is merely reclaiming ancestral heritage, and is perfectly justifiable.

Ye Qingzhou understood upon hearing, "So, they believe that the divine weapon of the Ancient Era should naturally be the heritage they inherit?"

"Exactly."

Wang Yin nodded, "The Divine Gang Dao certainly has experts within, after all, the power of bloodline heritage is indeed formidable. However, the path of the Martial Dao is essentially a progressive path of self-elevation. What is the ancestor compared to heroes? There are too many failures in today’s Divine Gang Dao, lacking in skill but with a big temper, you should be wary."

"Hmm, I will."

Ye Qingzhou deeply agreed with this sentiment, although he has cooperated well with the Linjiang Xu Clan, he encountered more failures when dealing with other Martial Arts Families.

Such a backward and stubborn force, clinging to past glories, is destined not to go far.

When the two returned to the camp, the battle had just ended, and the soldiers of the Southwest Military Region were cleaning the battlefield.

Ye Qingzhou’s return caused a stir among the crowd.

"It’s Ye Qianlong!"

"He’s still alive!"

"The King of Spirit Beast is a Grandmaster Level exotic beast, and he managed to come away unscathed, truly impressive!"

In last night’s battle, Ye Qingzhou single-handedly defended the Second Peak, decisively stopping the King of Spirit Beast, becoming a hero in the eyes of the soldiers.

If not for Ye Qingzhou, the Second Peak might have been breached, and then the Dragon Vein Array would have faltered under the beast tide’s overwhelming offensive, likely causing the entire defense line to collapse, leading to severe casualties among the stationed soldiers.

Moreover, at that time the whole of West Xiang behind would be caught in a bloodbath, countless innocent people of the Dongji Kingdom would get swept in, dying tragically under the beasts’ maws.

Wang Yin patted Ye Qingzhou’s shoulder, "You deserve first credit for this battle, Dongji Kingdom will not mistreat one who has merit. After I report this, the reward will come soon."

"A reward?"

Ye Qingzhou’s eyes lit up, showing a greedy expression.

"Hahaha, merit is rewarded, and faults punished, isn’t it natural? Otherwise, who would strive hard in face of crisis in the future?"

Wang Yin grew more fond of Ye Qingzhou, considering last night’s situation, even if Ye Qingzhou had fled, leaving the Second Peak to fall, the Southwest Military Region would struggle to reprimand him harshly.

After all, reasonably speaking, Ye Qingzhou isn’t even a Martial Arts Master, he merely wielded a Divine Weapon showing Master Level combat ability, making him fight against the King of Spirit Beast as a Grandmaster, is rather unreasonable.

Had it been another Martial Arts Master, they wouldn’t risk their lives, at most they would offer symbolic resistance and just run away directly.

The Martial Artists of the Martial Arts Association are not soldiers; obeying orders is not their duty. Most Martial Artists prioritize self-preservation. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But Ye Qingzhou managed to turn the tide single-handedly, first fighting valiantly, protecting the Second Peak from falling, and later diverting the King of Spirit Beast, preventing excessive casualties on the defense line.

By all accounts, this is a great merit deserving reward.

"What do you want?"

"If possible, I would like some Upper Grade Sharp Gold."

Ye Qingzhou deliberated before earnestly stating his request.

"You want Upper Grade Treasure Level Sharp Gold?"

Wang Yin knew Ye Qingzhou had mastered the Inheritance of Flame Emperor and had dabbled in Casting Art, hence instantly understood his reason for requesting Sharp Gold.

Currently, Sharp Gold is a specialty of the Dongji Kingdom, a strategic material strictly controlled by the state, with low production and extremely high prices.

Especially Upper Grade Treasure Level Sharp Gold, it is extremely scarce, with an official reference price of fifty thousand per gram.

On the black market, prices start at double, if you don’t have a million don’t even ask, and even if you have the money, you may not be able to buy it depending on whether the seller has stock.

And the material properties of Sharp Gold indeed justify such pricing.

Simply put, Sharp Gold isn’t particularly special, it merely maximizes its resistances—resistance to high temperatures, radiation, fire, acid, shock...

Essentially anything that can be resisted, Sharp Gold resists, highlighting its durability.

Thus, the price of such Rare Treasure material naturally skyrockets, and the process for refining Upper Grade Treasure Level Sharp Gold is exceedingly rare, making the price even less likely to be cheap.

The key is, there’s no place to buy even if you want to.

Because the Upper Grade Treasure Level Sharp Gold can currently only be refined by Celestial Artisans within the Celestial Craft Group, the technique remains confidential, and its refining formula has been offered a billion-dollar bounty by Western Pole Kingdom and Europe but has not yet been obtained.

If someone else demanded Upper Grade Sharp Gold, Wang Yin would surely refuse without thinking, as the military itself finds its strategic supplies lacking.

But Ye Qingzhou is different, bearing the Inheritance of Flame Emperor and having a Mythical Life like Kang Jinlong backing him, his future is promising, worthy of spending resources to ally with.

Thus Wang Yin nodded, "Alright, I will report your request, it should not be a problem."

"Thank you."

"Haha, you helped me defend the position; I should be the one thanking you."

Their conversation grew increasingly congenial; at this moment Wang Yin had no contempt for Ye Qingzhou, nor did he treat him as a junior, capable of withstanding the King of Spirit Beast’s attack, and using unknown means to kill a Grandmaster-level exotic beast, Ye Qingzhou now merited Wang Yin’s equal regard.
