Chapter 369

He had already obtained the Green Steel Sword previously.

This time, the set was complete.

However, these two precious swords were actually clones of the Heavenly Halberd.

After the peerless warrior Lu Bu died, the Heavenly Halberd was refined by Cao Cao into two peerless swords: one named Heaven-Relying, the other Green Steel.

The *Records of the Three Kingdoms* contains the record: "The Grand Ancestor, believing he had defied Zhuo's orders and suspecting he was plotting against him, drew his sword and killed eight people in the night before leaving." The sword used was precisely this "Heaven-Relying Sword." From then on, it also left behind Cao Cao's famous maxim: "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

Jia Hui liked them very much.

He decided that in the future, he would wear the Heaven-Relying Sword daily.

The Green Steel Sword would be carried when he needed to go to the battlefield.

The Seven-Star Precious Blade would be used only when he needed to carry out an assassination.

However, the Heavenly Halberd remained his true primary weapon!

Next was the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill.

This was the first time Jia Hui had obtained an item from a martial arts novel.

In his memory, this should be the unique miraculous medicine of Apothecary Huang from *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*. This medicine is concocted from rare medicinal herbs and the dew from nine types of flower petals gathered at dawn; it appears vermilion on the outside, has a refreshing fragrance that assails the senses, and after consumption, it replenishes the spirit, strengthens the body, and prolongs life.

In the future, he could give it to Qin Keqing, Liu Wu'er, and Lin Daiyu, whose health was not very good.

Then, the ten Red Barbarian Cannons were the second biggest source of joy for Jia Hui.

These were truly good things.

However, in reality, the Great Gan already possessed cannons at this time.

They just couldn't compare to the Red Barbarian Cannons.

Compared to the artillery currently possessed, the Red Barbarian Cannons had many advantages in design.

The barrel was long, the walls were thick, and the caliber was large!

The overall shape gradually thickened from the muzzle to the breech, conforming to the principle that chamber pressure is higher when gunpowder burns and lower as it expands.

On both sides of the center of gravity of the cannon body were cylindrical trunnions; the cannon could use these as an axis to adjust the firing angle, and by adjusting the amount of gunpowder, the range could be changed; it was equipped with a front sight and a rear sight, allowing for the calculation of the trajectory based on a parabola, resulting in high precision.

Possessing these ten Red Barbarian Cannons would bring a huge boost to Jia Hui's strength.

They were sharp weapons for attacking cities, and also excellent for defending them.

Of course, they could also be put to great use in open-field battles!

The only trouble was.

This stuff was too heavy.

Most Red Barbarian Cannons were about 3 meters long, with a caliber of 110-130 millimeters, and weighed over 1 ton.

Jia Hui's batch was over a ton each.

This was not convenient for transport.

However, this was also easy to solve.

Jia Hui would keep them in his spatial storage during ordinary times.

He could just take them out when there was a need for a major battle.

However, they were still not convenient for mobility.

Nevertheless, having them was better than not having them.

Anyway, Jia Hui was very pleasantly surprised.

"The most prominent advantage in my memory is the range; for heavy artillery, range is an important link in measuring its performance, and even in modern times, this is no exception."

"The earliest batch of Red Barbarian Cannons had an effective range of about 500 meters, with a maximum range of less than 1.5 kilometers. Later, they were continuously improved, making the effective range reach 1500 meters and the maximum range reach 2.5 kilometers."

"It's just that I don't know what the maximum range of my batch is; I'll test it when I have time, but I'll have to go out of the city to the remote suburbs!"

The above items were all in the categories of implements and medicine.

What made Jia Hui ecstatic were the cultivation techniques: *The Longevity Formula* and *The Great Joy Manual of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Union*!

These two were both super treasures.

The latter was for Jia Hui to practice together with women.

Those who practiced it could prolong their lives and remain forever young!

And *The Longevity Formula* was even more powerful.

This was a supreme Daoist technique for maintaining youth and nourishing life; after practicing it, one's appearance would remain forever young, and one would be as long-lived as a tortoise.

Hence the name *Longevity Formula*.

Jia Hui took a moment to look at it.

The breathing method of *The Longevity Formula* focused primarily on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, with the Twelve Standard Meridians as auxiliary.

Among them, the sixth and seventh diagrams were the most complex; the sixth diagram was an image of someone seemingly walking, with meridian points marked by red dots and dashed lines, which was no different from the seventh diagram, but the way of circulating Qi was exactly the opposite.

The greatest benefit of *The Longevity Formula* was rapid recovery.

He remembered that in the original work, it enabled the Twin Dragons to recover quickly after being injured.

Moreover, it could enable the Twin Dragons, who originally didn't know light-body techniques, to quickly comprehend them themselves after seeing Yun Yuzhen's light-body technique.

At the same time, it also had the effects of holding one's breath for a long time and greatly increasing internal energy.

However, what made Jia Hui feel a bit pained at first was.

If one wanted to achieve longevity and eternal youth with *The Longevity Formula*, one had to refine essence into Qi and use Qi to maintain one's appearance.

But the price of refining essence was that fertility would be affected, and practitioners were often infertile.

Fortunately, *The Great Joy Manual of Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Union* could just happen to make up for this deficiency.

It could perfectly improve it.

Not only would it allow Jia Hui to practice *The Longevity Formula* without obstruction, but it would also make him have many children and grandchildren!

At this moment, Jia Hui should be worried instead.

Whether he would have enough children for several football teams by the time he turned eighteen.

Just thinking about it was a bit terrifying.

"However, *The Longevity Formula* is relatively difficult to learn; ordinary people can't see the knack of it, let alone master it completely."

"And although *The Longevity Formula* has a great reputation, it actually focuses more on self-cultivation; it is definitely not the simple martial art for fighting that people understand. It focuses on internal cultivation, and its external attack power is not strong; it lacks dominance and one-hit lethality."

"So, compared to those top-tier martial arts, its power is definitely inferior."

"However, I imagine that if I achieve even a little success in my practice, my strength will definitely be able to leap forward again."

"Even if I can't fly or burrow, crushing two Lu Bus or one Xiang Yu or Li Cunxiao should be an easy task."

"But the most critical thing is that one can achieve immortality!"

Jia Hui was incomparably excited.

"If one can achieve immortality, this is something that emperors throughout history, like Qin Shi Huang, have dreamed of."

"This is the most precious thing!"

"From now on, you must cultivate diligently!"

He temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

Speaking of buying a theater troupe and actors.

Naturally, money was indispensable.

Jia Hui casually gave Qin Keqing a large bunch of keys: "The 90,000 taels of assets sent by Wang Xifeng last night, plus the 200,000 taels of gift money, a total of 290,000 taels of assets, will all be kept and used by you, Keqing; from now on, it will be for the household expenses."

This was the money on the surface.

In addition, the more than 300,000 taels of assets in his spatial storage.

Would be used for other purposes.

"Yes, husband!"

This time, Qin Keqing did not decline.

She just took the bunch of keys that represented wealth and power with a trembling voice!

Enjoying the awe-filled and envious gazes of the women.

Qin Keqing's vanity was satisfied as never before!

As well as a deep sense of being moved by Jia Hui.
