In addition, many of the martial arts manuals within the Money Gang also came into Su Yuan's possession.

In this world, martial arts manuals are not presented in words to players, but rather viewed through a process of "possession".

The martial arts manuals that players obtain can only be viewed once. The viewing process involves entering the manual's space with one's mind, possessing the body of the martial arts' founder, and comprehending their understanding of the martial arts and their mastery of its power.

And this is exactly what Su Yuan needs most.

If a certain martial arts manual involves Extreme Yang Power or Extreme Yin Power.

After witnessing the "possession," Su Yuan will fully comprehend its profound essence, and his understanding of Extreme Yang Power and Extreme Yin Power will also be greatly enhanced.

Of course, martial arts manuals are so helpful to citizens of the Empire Citizen, but they are also extremely difficult to obtain.

The main channel was to spend a lot of money to purchase them from the official government of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Secondly, it can also be obtained from various forces, as well as through certain serendipitous encounters, etc.

The reason why Mad Blade Qin Mo was willing to be recruited by the Money Gang was because of the Gang Leader Gu's promise of a mid-level martial arts manual every month.

One mid-level martial arts manual per month, the type of which cannot be guaranteed, and it is highly likely that the manual will be useless to Qin Mo.

Even so, Qin Mo was willing to be recruited, which shows how precious the martial arts manual was.

This is where your son is now.

Su Yuan wrote down the exact location and placed it in front of Commander Lu.

Mount Shaoshi?

Commander Lu's pupils contracted slightly.

The Dachan Temple on Mount Shaoshi was a major power of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Of course, compared to the Great Yong Dynasty at its peak, the Dachan Temple was nothing to worry about.

A moment later.

Commander Lu walked out of the Huayue Pavilion with a solemn expression.

Before leaving, I exchanged a few words with Gang Leader Gu.

"Boss."

Seeing Su Yuan come out as well, Gang Leader Gu immediately forced a smile and went up to him.

Commander Lu's order to him was that, from this day forward, the position of leader of the Money Gang would belong to Su Yuan.

As for the Gang Leader Gu, he acted on Su Yuan's orders.

This was like a bolt from the blue for Gang Leader Gu, yet he had no choice but to comply.

"Take me to the Money Gang."

Su Yuan spoke up.

"Yes."

Gang Leader Gu immediately obeyed.

But then he suddenly stopped and cautiously asked, "Chief, what about this Huayue Pavilion?"

As the most profitable business of the Hua Family, Huayue Pavilion had naturally been targeted by the Money Gang long ago.

As for why they're only making their move now? That's naturally the result of a power struggle with the other two major gangs in the city.

It wasn't just the Money Gang had its eyes on the Huayue Pavilion; two other major gangs were also eyeing it.

After much negotiation, ownership of the Huayue Pavilion ultimately fell into the hands of the Money Gang.

"Boss."

At this moment, the head of the Hua Family walked up, his legs weak.

After the incident involving Commander Lu's visit, the head of the Hua Family had given up hope of saving Huayue Pavilion.

"From now on, the Money Gang take 50% of the profits from the Huayue Pavilion, and the rest will still be managed by your Hua Family."

Su Yuan spoke.

"Ah?"

The head of the Hua Family was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Chief! Thank you so much, Chief!"

The Money Gang took 50% of the profits, resulting in a significant decrease in income, but in the end, they managed to save the business.

"The gang leader is truly benevolent."

The Gang Leader Gu thought to himself.

Taking 50% of the profits from the Huayue Pavilion is not much less than the profits gained from taking over Huayue Pavilion.

After all, once the Money Gang takes over the Huayue Pavilion, they will definitely incur additional management costs, plus various commissions.

But even a mosquito is still meat, and in the eyes of the Gang Leader Gu, it was only right to exploit the Huayue Pavilion to the fullest extent.

Su Yuan glanced at Hua Ying'er, who was secretly watching him from afar, but didn't say anything and headed straight for the Money Gang headquarters.

The decision to spare the Hua Family's lives was influenced by Hua Ying'er alone.

Most importantly, compared to the Money Gang, the profits of the Huayue Pavilion were nothing.

The true pillars of the Money Gang are casinos and brothels!

The Huayue Pavilion? It's just icing on the cake.

Within the Money Gang.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, looking at the two hundred taels of gold in front of him.

Two hundred taels of gold is equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver. The latter, when piled up, would be as big as a small mountain, making it inconvenient to carry. The truly powerful and wealthy used gold.

This is also the "surplus funds" within the Money Gang after deducting various expenses and submitting them to higher authorities.

Su Yuan, as the gang leader, has absolute authority to make decisions.

"Put it in your backpack, then deposit it in the bank."

Su Yuan immediately got to work.

In the world of "Shattering the Void," the money exchange is equivalent to a bank. Players can only exchange gold and silver for real-world currency by depositing them into the money exchange.

Call!

Su Yuan's money shop account now has an extra two hundred taels of gold.

"Exchange for Canglan Coin."

Su Yuan took action again.

Wow!

Two hundred taels of gold were successfully exchanged for two million Canglan Coin, which were then transferred to Su Yuan's account.

Two million Canglan Coin, plus the eight hundred thousand Canglan Coin remaining after navigating the ten layers of the maze.

Su Yuan's personal assets have now reached 2.8 million.

"Finally, I can do some serious shopping!"

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

Since the application to be incorporated into the Empire's administration was approved, the specific coordinates of Blue Star have also appeared on the map of the Canglan Galactic Human Empire.

Any force, if it so desires, can trace back to Blue Star.

This naturally allows for procurement, and then the merchants can deliver the procured goods to Blue Star according to the coordinates.

"If I rely solely on Blue Star's resources, it will take me five years to progress from Level 6 Lifeform to Level 7 Lifeform."

"It takes ten years to go from Level 7 Lifeform to a level 8 life form, and twenty years to go from a level 8 life form to Level 9 Lifeform."

"From Level 9 Lifeform to Level 10 Starry Sky Lifeform? That's a qualitative leap; it's practically impossible in less than a hundred years."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

This was achieved with the help of the Grey Mirror, following a perfect cultivation plan that wasted no resources and avoided being trapped by bottlenecks.

Blue Star's resources are too scarce. Although some precious mineral veins have been formed, these veins are of no benefit to cultivation.

In addition, Su Yuan's cultivation of the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, which requires far more resources than lower-level cultivation methods, also has some connection to this.

After merging with the universe, Su Yuan could purchase numerous resources from it, naturally causing his cultivation speed to skyrocket.

With the help of cosmic resources, Su Yuan only needed two months to advance from Level 6 Lifeform to Level 7 Lifeform.

These two months are not cosmic time, but Blue Star's time.

Two months is equivalent to five years of cultivation!

"Buy this one, and buy this one too!"

Su Yuan opened the official website of the Canglan Galactic Human Empire and began purchasing cultivation resources for the Level 6 Lifeform stage.

A moment later.

After spending 1.8 million Canglan Coin, Su Yuan finally bought all the resources needed for a Level 6 Lifeform.

One million eight hundred thousand Canglan Coin for five years of arduous training on Blue Star? For Su Yuan, this was an extremely profitable deal.

The Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method allows Su Yuan to upgrade his six dimensions of life with each transformation, accelerating his cultivation speed, improving his comprehension, and then breaking through again ahead of schedule, forming a virtuous cycle.

It saved more than five years.

Moreover, with the Money Gang his cash cow, Su Yuan is not short of money in the short term, especially since he still has the Eternal Darkness Crystal worth hundreds of millions to sell.

"Delivery will be completed in five days at the earliest, and in as little as two weeks at the latest."

Su Yuan glanced at the delivery time and nodded slightly.

This is far more efficient than the Multi-Eye Race's Interstellar Colony Fleet.

Of course, the reason why the Multi-Eye Race's Interstellar Colony Fleet was so slow was because they wanted to conserve resources and did not activate faster-than-light travel.

After purchasing cultivation resources, Su Yuan once again entered the Shattering the Void World.

Wow!

Su Yuan got up and went to the Money Gang's "Scripture Library".

This collection contains thirty-five martial arts manuals obtained by the Money Gang.

The martial arts manuals of the Shattering the Void World will be automatically destroyed after an Empire Citizen player "possesses" and views them once.

As for the natives, they can watch the martial arts manuals multiple times. However, for the natives, watching the manuals requires them to gradually comprehend and learn, which is far less effective than the Empire Citizen players who can directly "possess" the manuals and master them in a short period of time.

Of the thirty-five martial arts manuals, only three were helpful to me.

Su Yuan thought to himself.

For players who Empire Citizen, there is another problem with comprehending martial arts manuals: it is impossible to determine in advance whether the manual will be useful to them.

For example, a player who studies the power of wind might obtain a manual on the metal element and improve their understanding of the Five Elements Metal, but this would not help their main focus on the power of wind at all.

This is extremely awkward.

After spending a huge sum of money to obtain the martial arts manual, what happened after viewing it?

It works.

But it didn't work.

Of course, this problem posed no difficulty for Su Yuan.

Through the Grey Mirror, he already knew the thirty-five martial arts manuals of the Money Gang, and which three belonged to the extreme Yang and extreme Yin categories.

Swish!

Su Yuan took out three martial arts manuals from the "Scripture Library".

They returned to the meditation chamber.

These three martial arts manuals.

They are --

<Diamond Fist>

<Flower Step>

<Dragon Palm>

Among them, the Diamond Fist and the Dragon Palm are martial arts manuals with extremely Yang attributes.

<Flower Step> is a martial arts manual with extremely Yin attributes.

These three martial arts manuals are all of intermediate level.

"Start watching."

Su Yuan directly opened the <Diamond Fist> martial arts manual.

With a whoosh, the moment the secret manual was activated, Su Yuan's mind and will appeared in a space filled with darkness.

In the center of the space stood a burly man, his upper body bare.

"The Diamond Fist I created is extremely powerful; it can defeat thousands of enemies with just one punch."

At this moment, Su Yuan possessed the body of this burly man, carefully sensing everything around him.

"This person's physical attributes have also reached the level of Level 1 Lifeform," Su Yuan thought to himself.

Just then...

The burly man began practicing his boxing techniques.

Rumble.

With each punch thrown by the burly man, an endless aura of masculine energy resonated with the Extreme Yang Power of heaven and earth.

"This is?"

Su Yuan was invigorated. "So this is how the Extreme Yang Power can be used? To use extreme Yang as a fist? To smash everything?"

Possessing the burly man's body, Su Yuan was able to sense everything the man could feel, and the Diamond Fist was quickly mastered.

Of course, for Su Yuan, comprehending the Diamond Fist wasn't a great gain; the key was the founder of this extremely Yang martial art's understanding of the essence of Extreme Yang Power.

"Extreme Yang is not just about sharpness, but also about fierceness."

Su Yuan was immersed in the experience of possession.

One hour later.

Su Yuan opened her eyes.

Splash!

The Diamond Fist that was originally in front of them turned to ashes and disappeared from the spot.

Martial arts manuals that have been deciphered by Empire Citizen players will automatically disappear.

"It's over?"

Su Yuan glanced at the two remaining martial arts manuals in front of him.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, he asked the Grey Mirror, "How far have I progressed in my understanding of the Extreme Yang Power?"

The Gray Mirror rippled and swelled in a hazy light.

[39%]

"Increased Insight by 3%."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

Before watching "The Diamond Fist," his understanding of Extreme Yang Power was only at 36%.

"No wonder the Grey Mirror suggested that one of the best ways to comprehend the Extreme Yang Power and Extreme Yin Power is within this game world."

Su Yuan felt pleased.

"Continue, continue."

Su Yuan began to study the remaining two martial arts manuals again.

Two hours later.

[Health Level: 6 (3%)]

[Cultivation Method: Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method]

[Sacred Art: Thought Imprint]

[Spear Technique: Perfected with the Extreme Yang 36 Forms]

[Spear Technique: Perfected with the Extreme Yin 36 Forms]

[Extreme Yang Power: 41%]

[Extreme Yin Power: 39%]

[Combat Bonus: 780%]

The three martial arts manuals increased Su Yuan's comprehension of Extreme Yang Power by 5% and Extreme Yin Power by 3%, and his Combat Bonus skyrocketed from 710% to 780%.

"Such an increase in speed is equivalent to a minor epiphany."

Su Yuan was deeply moved.

Of course, Su Yuan's great success is an isolated case and very difficult to replicate.

It is almost impossible for an Empire Citizen to take over a force like the Money Gang. Even a top-tier expert like Commander Lu of Qingxiang Chen could easily suppress him.

This will inevitably attract Dayong, and at that time, death will still be the only outcome.

Even a top-tier expert would find it difficult to survive if they stood against Dayong.

This is also part of the game's background setting; at this stage, no one, regardless of who they are, can contend with Dayong.

Only someone like Su Yuan, who used Commander Lu's son as a condition, coupled with Commander Lu's emphasis on promises, could successfully take over the Money Gang.

Such an opportunity is rare throughout the entire Dayong Nine Provinces, and it is one of the best starting points that Su Yuan obtained from the Grey Mirror.

"If a mid-level martial arts manual has such an effect, then what about a high-level martial arts manual?"

Su Yuan collected his thoughts and pondered to himself.

Currently, all the martial arts manuals collected by the Money Gang are limited to the intermediate level.

As for superior martial arts manuals? Those are mysteries that only experts of the third rank can comprehend. There are only three in the entire Qingxiang City, and ordinary fourth-rank experts don't even have the qualifications to know about them.

"Pity."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly. He did know the detailed information about those three superior martial arts manuals, but unfortunately they were not of extreme Yang or Yin attributes, so they were not very useful to Su Yuan.

Time passed.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tens of thousands of meters underground, there is a space comparable to several football fields.

In the center of this space, a figure sat cross-legged.

The figure, merely sitting there, exuded an extremely terrifying aura, causing a heat wave that raised the surrounding temperature, and its oppressive power spread in all directions.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The figure opened its eyes silently.

Level 7.

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face:

"It's done!"
