Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui actually obtained two Type-8 exotic enhancers and two Type-8 battle dragon gene repair fluids, which was twice the agreed amount, but there was still only one X-element injection. There was also a Type-8 mental repair fluid that could heal mental damage, and a Type-8 external Golden Core. The external Golden Core was a truly special controlled model, named 'Crimson Jade', with a grade of 8S+. It was entirely shaped like red amber. The precious aspect of this Golden Core was that it did not require external wiring or connectivity with the human body's meridians. Practitioners above the Seventh Realm could directly extract from it; however, the downside of the Golden Core was also here, as wireless certainly couldn't compare to wired in terms of bandwidth. Although it could serve as an external source of true energy, it lacked explosive power in terms of instantaneous output. The items were delivered directly by drone, with no contact between the parties involved. After inspecting these items, Lin Rui contacted Zhou Yunfei, "Minister, what's the meaning of this? The items I just received are more than we had previously agreed upon." Zhou Yunfei: "It is a bit more, but the issue is that your chips are different now. The other side is very sincere. The more chips you have, the more they are willing to give you." Lin Rui thoughtfully replied, "Is it me or my master?" Zhou Yunfei: "Both, I suppose. You, as a future leader of the Great Song nation, definitely carry significant weight. You are a genuine candidate for the Divine Envoy and the second in line, so there's definitely a need for early investment." Zhou Yunfei: "Your master is also formidable; her previous battle with Qi Wuji and Luo Wangshu's 'Heavenly Principle Divine Heart' sword technique took everyone by surprise and went beyond all expectations. Now that she is fully competent, she can establish her own faction in the Great Song dynasty. It's no wonder she managed to secure for you the position of command at the Stabbing Bureau." Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Understood, please convey my thanks to them on my behalf, Minister Zhou!" Zhou Yunfei: "Haha, there are several big shots in commerce on their side who asked me to pass a message to you, hoping you can keep the commodity prices of Great Song as they are now." Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Understood. I assure you that the prices here in Great Song won't drop within a month." Lin Rui naturally could not let his partners suffer. As far as Lin Rui knew, there were several large companies in East Asia that were involved in trading under government coordination. They had just banded together to purchase goods at high prices from him. If prices in Great Song plummeted, it would be a disastrous loss for them, and they would be stuck with the inventory. Ironically, he was taking advantage of the fact that the East Asian Republic was still unaware of his true identity. The East Asians conducted themselves with an ancient gentleman's integrity, emphasizing rules to the point of being slightly pedantic. If they knew that Lin Rui was actually one of their own, they would never have carried out this business of buying high-priced goods from Lin Rui only to undermine their allied nations and make a killing, contrary to their principles. After ending the communication with Zhou Yunfei, Lin Rui stared at the heap of silver and gold notes in front of him, dumbfounded. The total transaction price was 73 million taels of demonic silver. Lin Rui's purchasing price here was 32 million taels, with the costs being almost zero. The net profit margin was 128%. These silver and gold notes were issued by a banking alliance in East Asia, backed essentially by East Asia's state-owned xenotype bank. They guaranteed that under any circumstances, they would honor these notes, and money could be redeemed from them at any time. The problem was that there was too much money, so much that it made Lin Rui's heart flutter. In one day, he had earned over 40 billion! "The ancients spoke wisely. Capital is indeed evil; with a 100% profit, it dares to trample all earthly laws—" Lin Rui sighed as he stowed the thick stack of notes into a box behind him, then summoned his senior martial brother, Li Li, with a grave expression and asked him to draft several official documents. After a while, Li Li's expression turned bizarre. In order to sever the smuggling channels between Hell and the Heavenly Demon, Lin Rui had the royal cities in various places tightly examine the local material flows and reorganize the local markets. At the same time, the Imperial Censorate and the Department of Revenue were also to dispatch personnel to collaborate with the Bureau of Spying Officials to investigate major trading houses within the eight states of Luo Jing. Before the accounts were cleared, they would temporarily seal these traders' warehouses. Lin Rui also had to inspect the storages of the Department of Revenue and the major transport offices, checking for any embezzlements occurring in these royal-dominated storages. Simultaneously, under the title of Commandant of the Bureau of Spying Officials of the Great Song Dynasty, he issued documents to the three great royal dynasties and Zhongzhou Island, hoping these parties would join forces in law enforcement, cooperatively combating the rampant smuggling activities in various locations of the Heavenly Extreme Star. Li Li was aware that the prices of bulk commodities on the Federation's markets were already high enough. With this decree issued by Lin Rui, the prices of these commodities might just skyrocket. However, he knew something about the contents of Lin Rui's cooperation with East Asia, and thus he did not raise objections; rather, he curiously asked, "My Lord, are we just sending out the document like this? Don't we need to consult the Divine Envoy first?" "Of course not," Lin Rui glanced at Li Li, "Otherwise, what would have been the point of receiving my Divine Dragon Slayer Saber and Divine Merit Order?" Li Li could not help but nod his head, feeling deeply moved. It had not been long since Lin Rui had arrived in the capital, yet he had already come this far. With these two divine graces, Lin Rui was practically the incarnation of the divine will, and with the position he now held, his words carried even more weight than those of the current Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty. The edicts and official documents sent out from his Bureau of Spying Officials—who in the royal court would dare to delay them? There was no need for endorsement from a Divine Envoy. The officials in various locations also understood the severity of the situation, daring not to neglect nor to pay lip service while behaving differently. Otherwise, a charge from Lin Rui of dereliction of duty or collusion with the Heavenly Demon, even if it were a province's governor, would not be able to withstand the pressure. Li Li meticulously chose his words and earnestly drafted the document, passing it to Lin Rui for transcription. Watching Lin Rui write, Li Li marveled once again at his junior disciple brother's acting skills. Truth be told, Lin Rui's handwriting wasn't ugly. Precise control over one's body and strength was the most basic requirement for a Martial Cultivator of the Fifth Realm; how bad could their handwriting be? But somehow, Lin Rui managed, despite having a grade of A+ in Heavenly Extreme Star's language, to write without any charm, as if he copied the characters mechanically—this was truly astonishing. After transcribing, Lin Rui stamped his grand seal on it, then summoned Luo Renxi, the guard commander of the Seventh Surveillance Command, Mo Daoquan, the guard commander of the Eighth Surveillance Command, and a group of clerks. "The restructuring within Luo Jing City will be handled by you two. One will be responsible for the Department of Revenue and the transport offices, the other for inspecting major trading houses. And you others, make copies of these documents as soon as possible and dispatch them to various offices, urging them to act swiftly. Within three days, I want to hear of movements across the regions and see results! Pay particular attention to military equipment and the materials for Golden Cores, which need thorough investigation and management."' After issuing these instructions, he sighed softly, his face full of worried thoughts, "If we do not put a stop to these smuggling practices, the Great Song court will sooner or later fall into the hands of those maggots, to be exploited by Hell and outside Heavenly Demons! Thus, the responsibility of your tasks this time is massive, and you must act decisively and rigorously, no leniency, no slack!" Upon hearing this, Li Li almost couldn't keep a straight face. He steadfastly looked at Lin Rui's face, yet couldn't discern any flaw. The guard commanders of the Seventh and Eighth Surveillances, on the other hand, showed faces full of joy. Since this new Commandant of the Bureau of Spying Officials took office, they too had benefited, though not from anything significant, yet this time the pickings were rich. Lin Rui then hurriedly carried a package filled with syringes and set out for Divine Scenery Mountain's Third Divine Envoy Institute. At that time, Luo Wangshu had already received the news and temporarily set aside the work at hand, waiting for him in the small farmyard next to the Third Divine Envoy Institute. She had been preoccupied with rectifying and investigating the prison military these past few days and had hardly rested. Upon seeing Lin Rui and the syringes he brought out, she immediately brightened up, her eyes filled with anticipation and heart surging with excitement.
