I’m Cultivating Immortality While Everyone Else Practices Martial Arts c1-229

And she had also comprehended sword intent.
Andrew frowned, feeling that there was a slight difference.
Diana was so young. How did she comprehend sword intent?
He sold the sword intent grass himself. Diana definitely had never bought sword intent grass from him.
The two used their own sword techniques to clash with each other dozens of times before they slowly separated.
Looking at their respective auras, Diana was still relatively stable. Annie was already somewhat anxious.
After all, Diana was a seventh-grade grandmaster. This level of exhaustion was something she could bear.
However, for Annie to be able to reach this stage, it was already far beyond her expectations. It was normal for her to be inferior to her opponent.
Diana looked at Annie and suddenly smiled.
“I’ve lost this match. Your divine clothes, weapons, and shoes are all above mine. Your battle experience is not inferior to mine, and the sword intent you’ve comprehended is also one point higher than mine.
“The only reason I have some advantage is that my cultivation is one realm higher than yours. If it was a battle of the same level, I wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.”
..
In the audience stands, Clayton was stunned.
These words didn’t seem like something Diana would say.
Clayton still knew Diana’s usual personality.
Clayton turned his head to look at Andrew. He asked suspiciously, “Did you threaten Diana? You made her admit defeat? Tyrone has trained Diana as his personal disciple. If he knew about this, he would definitely come and fight with you!”
“Fight with me?” Andrew said disdainfully.
“With Tyrone’s strength, I could kill him with one hand. Why would he come and fight with me?”
But soon, Andrew realized that something was wrong.
“Nonsense, when did I threaten her? What does it have to do with me?”
Whether it was the judges or the audience, everyone was shocked.
Diana clearly had the upper hand in the match just now. Why did she suddenly admit defeat?
Andrew was also very puzzled.
He had keenly sensed that Diana looked at him when she admitted defeat.
“What does it have to do with me?” Andrew muttered.
Suddenly, someone walked over.
It was Wells, who was full of smiles.
He had learned how to get along with Andrew.
The most important thing was to have a good attitude!
If he had a bad attitude, he would be beaten up.
Chapter 205 - Breakthrough On The Spot!
Wells handed over a small box.
“This is the sacred grass our ancestors obtained from the Alps in Europe. It can instantly heal all the wounds on the body. It is rich in pure energy, and there are no side effects. If it is used by a ninth rank martial artist, there is even a possibility of breaking through to the Ultimate realm.”
After Andrew took the box, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears.
“Congratulations on obtaining 600,000 strengthening points.”
Andrew nodded. It seemed that this was indeed a good item.
Its value had already surpassed the corpse of an Ultimate realm demon beast.
Andrew opened his mouth and asked, “Diana is from your family?”
Wells nodded.
“Diana is a descendant of our family. She advocated integrating into the new world, so she went to New York University to receive martial arts training.”
Andrew smiled. “I finally understand why she would surrender. But with Annie’s temper, I don’t think she would agree.”
Sure enough, Annie raised the sword in her hand.
“I don’t need you to surrender. I can use my own strength to prove that I’m stronger than you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her mental strength suddenly underwent a qualitative change.
Annie directly broke through to the seventh stage grandmaster realm.
“Not bad, as expected of my woman,” Andrew said with a smile from the audience seats.
Wells and Clayton, who were at the side, didn’t say anything.
With their vision, they could naturally see what kind of state Annie was in.
Annie’s strength had already reached the peak of the sixth stage. Because she had consumed two stalks of sword intent grass, her sword intent had reached 50%, which greatly increased her spiritual power.
It could be said that Annie had always been at the edge of the seventh-grade grandmaster realm.
Even if she didn’t break through in the arena right now…
She might suddenly reach the seventh grade the next day when she was sleeping or eating.
Coupled with Diana’s words just now, it caused her some excitement.
It was very reasonable for Annie to break through to the seventh-grade grandmaster realm.
Diana’s fierce fighting spirit also rose.
Previously, Diana’s surrender was not her original intention.
At this moment, both of them were of the same seventh rank. She naturally wanted to see if she was a match for Annie.
Annie’s strength foundation was not stable. From the fourth rank onwards, she relied on pills to forcefully increase her strength.
However, compared to Diana, her battle experience was richer.
Although Diana had relied on herself to train, she had always been in the Dupont family and had never experienced a battle with monsters.
Annie’s equipment and sword intent were still slightly better.
After a minute of the battle, Diana’s long sword left her hand and landed on the ground not far away.
She panted heavily and nodded at Annie.
“It’s true that I lost today. But the next time, I will definitely defeat you!”
After Diana left the stage, she flew directly to the audience.
She first saluted Andrew and Clayton, then knelt down in front of Wells.
“Third Uncle.”
Wells was expressionless as he asked coldly, “You ran out of the Holy Land without permission. Do you know your mistake?”
Two years ago, Diana sneaked out of the Holy Land when the rest of the family was not paying attention. She went to the outside world and joined New York University.
“I know my mistake,” Diana said. “But I came to the outside world. In these two years, I realized what kind of character the warriors here have. The martial arts and moves they practice are very simple and crude. But their battle experience and willpower are something that our family warriors can not achieve.
“I am sure that when a family warrior of the same realm fights with a warrior from the outside world, the warriors from the outside world will definitely win!”
Wells fell into silence after hearing this.
He could not deny it.
Before he came out, he had always looked down on the warriors from the outside world.
These warriors’ techniques had only been passed down for twenty years, and their cultivation methods were crude and primitive. How could their moves be compared to a Holy Land family, which had been passed down for a thousand years?
But after coming to the secular world for a period of time, he found that the situation was completely different.
The warriors from the outside world risked death every day to fight with the demon beasts.
This kind of martial will was far superior to that of the descendants of the Holy Land.
Seeing that Wells did not speak, Diana gritted her teeth, stood up, and said sternly, “Third Uncle, if our Holy Land does not make any changes, we will definitely be eliminated by martial arts in a few decades!”
Finally, Wells nodded.
“This matter needs to be discussed by the higher-ups of the family. However, I will make the decision for you to escape without permission. You will be exempted from all punishment, and you will continu
e to study martial arts at New York University in the future.”
Hearing this, Diana’s face was full of surprise.
After thanking him, she left happily.
Andrew and Clayton looked at each other.
Wells had given her the sacred herb again today, giving her the advantage to admit defeat. He had even agreed to let Diana continue to stay at New York University.
This was sending a signal.
It was very likely that the Dupont family would choose to stand on the side of the outside world.
After the competition ended, the reporters gathered around Annie for an interview.
As the champion of the martial arts competition, Annie naturally could not lack these things.
Andrew was not interested in this and left first.
Very soon, he received a call.
It was from Bennett.
“Sir Andrew, my father replied to my letter. He took a few photos and said that he didn’t know if this is the material you want.”
“He doesn’t know?” Andrew was stunned.
Wasn’t this thing very simple?
Actually, it wasn’t.
“I’ll send you the photos. Because there are more demon beasts over there, my father didn’t dare to stay for too long.”
Andrew soon received the photos he sent.
“It’s actually the crimson flame stone!”
Andrew was pleasantly surprised.
The crimson flame stone contained very rich fire elemental energy. It could be used to refine some fire elemental artifacts.
Such a large piece should be enough to refine three flying swords.
“These are the materials I need. When I get my hands on them, I can give you a ninth-grade demon core and an eighth-grade demon core.”
When Bennett heard this, he was delighted.
This reward was extremely rich.
After all, these materials weren’t of much use to them.
Bennett quickly sent over an address. It was in California.
Andrew flew on his sword and quickly rushed over.
There was a Death Valley Park in California. It was very famous.
The crimson flame stone that Bennett’s father had discovered was here.
After meeting Bennett’s father, Andrew found that although this person was in his forties, he was cultured and looked young.
“Hello, King Thunderblade. My name is Casia,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Andrew nodded.
“Where is the specific location of the crimson flame stone?”
“Do you really what that?” Casia asked with some doubt.
“Why do you ask?”
“Because…” Casia said hesitantly, “Because I found too many crimson flame stones.”
Chapter 206 - Crimson Flame Stone Lode!
Many?
This was a good thing.
Andrew instantly revealed a smile.
“If there are a lot of them, I will give you the corresponding treasures. I definitely won’t let you lose out.”
Casia nodded repeatedly. “I didn’t look carefully at the situation there because there are a few more powerful demon beasts. But King Thunderblade will definitely be able to suppress them easily.”
Before going to Death Valley Park, Casia took care of the things in his hands.
He was the director of the California State Martial Arts Bureau, so his work was quite busy.
After taking care of these things, he put on his divine weapon armor and picked up a 1.5-meter-long broadsword.
Casia looked refined, and there was always a sense of incongruity with this set of clothes.
The two of them got into an SUV. With the roar of the engine, the car sped up to 250 kilometers per hour.
Halfway through, Casia suddenly asked, “Mr. Andrew, do you smoke?”
Andrew shook his head.
Casia took out a cigar and lit it.
“I feel sleepy after driving. If I feel sleepy, I need to smoke to wake up.”
Andrew’s mouth twitched.
Such a gentle and clean-looking man was actually so wild in his heart.
This 1.5-meter-long broadsword, 250 kilometers of off-road vehicle speed, and the cigar in his mouth…
“I heard that you and Bennett are from the same school. You even stayed in the same room at this martial arts conference. I would like to ask how he usually performs in school.”
“Although I’m a student of Stanford University, I’ve never been there before. However, I heard that Bennett is the president of the school’s Fighting Club, and his strength is also passable.”
After hearing Andrew’s praise, Casia’s heart immediately became happy.
However, he felt that he couldn’t reveal too much, so he quickly restrained his smile.
Casia sighed and said, “This kid is too belligerent. He has the strength of the fifth stage realm, yet he still insisted on participating in some martial arts competition. In the end, he was severely injured, and now he can only lie on the hospital bed, unable to get up.”
Andrew blinked his eyes.
He was injured during a martial arts competition?
Wasn’t it because he was flirting with a beauty?
However, this kind of thing wasn’t easy to say directly.
The car soon arrived at the periphery of Death Valley Park.
Further inside was a rugged mountain road. Rather than driving, it was better for two people to walk faster.
After parking the car by the roadside, the two people got off the car and headed up the mountain.
Andrew needed to take care of Casia’s speed.
Therefore, it took seven to eight minutes to reach the destination.
If it was Andrew himself, ten seconds would be enough.
“Mr. Andrew, look over there. Is that the ore you are looking for?”
Andrew looked in the direction he pointed.
His strength was too strong. He could see clearly from five hundred meters away. That was indeed the crimson flame stone.
Andrew was immediately overjoyed.
The matter of refining magical equipment had been settled.
And this crimson flame stone was more than a meter tall.
“There are some more crimson flame stones ahead. The big ones are about the same height as me, and the small ones are the size of a fist. I suspect that there might be a special mine here.”
“There’s a mine?”
Andrew’s heart instantly heated up.
He hurriedly came over and looked at the huge crimson flame stone in front of him.
“It is said that when the spiritual essence recovery started, this place fell from the sky and a huge ball of fire burned for a year before it stopped,” Casia explained.
“But at that time, someone came to investigate, and there was nothing special. When they found nothing, they just let it go.”
Andrew nodded.
This crimson flame stone looked like a red stone from the outside.
The people of this world didn’t know how to forge weapons, so how could they know how precious the crimson flame stone was.
All of a sudden, a huge fox with a cultivation of the eighth stage dashed out from the side.
Andrew glared at it and released his mental energy, instantly killing the demonic fox.
Andrew turned his head to look at Casia.
“It was directly killed by the mental energy. The demonic core is still intact, so it’s yours.”
Casia was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly ran over to collect the demon core.
He was the number one expert on the eighth-grade golden body ranking, and ordinary eighth-grade monsters weren’t his match at all.
However, it was still extremely difficult to extract the demon core completely.
Andrew stored the one-meter tall crimson flame stone in his storage space.
“Congratulations on obtaining 100,000 strengthening points.”
Andrew was not very sa
tisfied with this amount.
Such a large piece of red flame stone was not even worth the corpse of a top-tier demon beast.
However, this was only the material to refine a middle-grade spirit tool.
Andrew continued to explore the nearby area. He could now confirm that there should be a mineral vein in this round.
However, he clearly could not mine such a thing by himself.
Such a huge mountain, when would it be when he finished mining it?
He would definitely need to find someone to help.
Not long after, Casia had already thrown away four demon beast corpses.
They were all demon foxes of the same race.
One was ninth-grade, two were eighth-grade, and one was seventh-grade.
These demon cores had already made Casia happy.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Andrew. I didn’t expect the reward to be so rich.”
The value of these demon cores added up to at least 50 billion US dollars. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them.
Andrew smiled.
“You found a crimson flame stone lode. To be honest, I should be the one who took advantage of you.”
Casia hurriedly waved his hand.
“This is a crimson flame stone lode. It’s useless to me. Mr. Andrew’s demon cores are better!”
After parting with Andrew, Casia carried the corpses of the four demon beasts and piled them together like a small mountain.
He ran to the foot of the mountain. His SUV was still parked there.
Andrew took two more turns here.
These crimson flame stones contained potent fire elemental energy, which caused the surrounding demon beasts to be affected.
Andrew used the Earth escape technique and directly burrowed underground.
Soon, he discovered that the crimson flame stone vein was ten kilometers long, two kilometers wide, and an astonishing six hundred meters deep.
Even if these ores contained some impurities, the number of crimson flame stones in them was still shocking.
It would not be a problem to casually mine a few thousand tons.
By then, it would probably be tens of millions of strengthening points.
Andrew soared into the sky and flew towards California.
