That day, Lu Yao had his feet massaged by the two sisters before taking a medicinal bath with Liao Qe.
After the resonance of the six fu-organs and the great achievement of Organ Refining, his qi and blood were exceedingly vigorous, carrying even more profound Inner Breath throughout his body, repeatedly flowing and scouring, refining his physique.
Furthermore, with the aid of the medicinal bath, his Inner Breath gradually began to prate into the bones, stimting the marrow.
Subconsciously, Lu Yao''s body began to twitch and convulse, and after shivering for a while, he finally exhaled a long breath,pleting his life''s first "Marrow-Cleansing."
Liao Qe was startled, not bothering to dress, she leaped out of the bath barrel and called for her sister to check.
By the time the sisters arrived, Lu Yao had already recovered. He only felt his stomach gurgling and his lower abdomen swelling.
This was because the surging qi and blood had swept through his body, carrying away countless impurities. These impurities urgently needed to be expelled, causing him to desperately want to go to the toilet.
Lu Yao rushed into thetrine and relieved himself mightily, sighing infort, and then smoked himself out with the stench. Most of the expelled substances were the impurities deposited in his organs, oily in appearance and exceptionally foul-smelling!
Liao Ya said with excitement, "Junior Brother, you have taken a big step forward, but you must be careful from now on—Starting today, stop all supplements and massages, clear your mind, and even more so, abstain from sexual rtions! Do not deliberately guide your Inner Breath to refine the marrow. Just maintain a normal diet, practice boxing, let your body adjust, and naturally enter the Marrow-Cleansing Realm!"
Lu Yao nodded in response, "I understand, Senior Sister."
He really enjoyed the feeling of the sisters kneading his body with their small hands and was immediately disappointed upon hearing there would be no more daily foot massages.
The health benefits were secondary, what mattered most was thefort~
~~~~~~~~
Feeling somewhat bored after dryly practicing boxing for two days, Lu Yao sought some diversion.
Just as he had been teasing Ping An for a while, Su Erya earnestly brought him today''s newspaper.
After thanking the young girl, Lu Yao picked up the newspaper and started to read.
The headline of the day was: [The Imperial Court ns to order Irond Warships from Jiade''s "Vulcan Shipyard"]
[Ignoring opposition from various parties, the Imperial Court and Jiade representatives have begun negotiations on rted matters]
"The Imperial Court and the Kingdom of Jiade have grown very close recently... Jiade has sold countless advanced weapons to the Imperial Court, which is equivalent to an open provocation of Einheit."
The two worlds were like twin brothers, with simr scripts but slight differences in detail.
Lu Yao thought: By the looks of it, a war in the Otherworld is imminent!
War is the best catalyst, and a historic world war brought several generations'' worth of weapon evolution.
And since he was about to undergo Marrow-Cleansing, he should upgrade his equipment as soon as possible.
At the moment, the twodies were ying in the garden. Under the morning breeze, with lush trees and meandering ponds, their skin glistening like jade and delicate asrd, they seemed like two fairies descended from the heavens.
Lu Yao watched them, slightly entranced for a moment, and suddenly felt fortunate that he had sworn early on "to marry Senior Sister."
Both sisters were his Senior Sisters, of course, he had to marry them both, not letting even one slip away!
Lu Yao called out to them across the smallke, "I''m going to go home for a bit~"
"Hmm, you go ahead~"
"Come back early~"
The twodies waved from afar, watching the only male of the household leave, and then taking each other''s hand, they continued to y, asionally bursting into sweetughter.

Blue Star
Lu Yao walked out of the warehouse wearing sunsses, at first thinking of calling Li Lei to pick him up, but then decided against it.
```
The girl, already busy with thepany and theb, was swamped with work; I figured I shouldn''t add to her troubles.
Moreover... being in a period of abstinence, I couldn''t help this good friend relieve her physical needs.
Taking a taxi home, I began to focus on pressing matters.
When fighting against the foreign invaders in the Otherworld at the artillery positions, I operated cannons for a long time and fired all calibers; Lu Yao witnessed the massive power of the cannonballs and was certain the Battle Armor wouldn''t withstand it!
Battle Armor isn''t invincible, although it can block regr bullets, it''s still not sufficient against artillery.
Especially calibers above 150 millimeters, with kic energy reaching several giga-joules, capable of sting craters with a 5-meter diameter in the ground.
Even if not directly hit while wearing Battle Armor, the high-pressure st and dynamic pressure from the explosion would tear it apart.
One needs to be alive to deal damage, so the first step was to upgrade the Battle Armor.
I dialed Zhao Ya''s number, but she hung up and then sent an invitation for a video call.
After connecting, a family of three appeared on the phone screen, greeting Lu Yao: "Hi~ Lu Yao~ Long time no see~"
Behind them was a city filled with exotic charm, full of Baroque-style buildings.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Zhao Ya, you''re in Yukolun? Your whole family went there~"
"Ah~ don''t mention it, we were sent on a business trip and got busy only for a few days. Since then, we''ve been idle and they still won''t let us leave, so we decided toe here for fun."
"That''s great, Yukolun was a member of the Former Steel Alliance, and it has quite nice cultural history and naturalndscapes."
The two chatted casually for a bit. Li Jin and the little girl Li Yino also greeted Lu Yao and seemed to be having a great time.
Zhao Ya asked, "Lu Yao~ you called me for something?"
"Yeah, I wanted to ask you to design another set of Battle Armor for me."
"Battle Armor? I''ve already modified yours, added thirty kilograms..."
"No, no, no~ Zhao Ya, it''s a new model this time." Lu Yao interjected, then thought for a moment and said, "It needs to withstand a direct hit from a 155-millimeter howitzer."
A 155mm caliber howitzer represents the best bnce of barrel weight and firepower. If it could withstand the blow of such modern artillery, then those from the era of the World Wars would probably not be a problem.
But Zhao Ya was taken aback upon hearing this, instinctively eximing:
"Lu Yao, that''s impossible! Just the terminal kic energy of a 155-millimeter shell is as high as 15 giga-joules, greater than the muzzle kic energy of a tank armor-piercing shell! Even with modern materials ensuring the Battle Armor stays intact, the person inside would undoubtedly be doomed..."
"Try it for me, will you, Zhao Ya? I''m going to show this off to foreigners, to let them witness the prowess of our countrymen~"
Upon hearing this and remembering that Lu Yao brought these products overseas for "exhibitions," and not wanting to let down her lifesaver, Zhao Ya agreed:
"Well... I''m quite free right now, so I''ll give it a try. But I can''t promise anything, even modern tanks can''t guarantee surviving a hit from a 155-millimeter shell."
"Thanks a lot. I''ll transfer the money to you right away~"
"You really mean business~ Okay, I''ll get to it as soon as possible."
~~~~~~~
After hanging up the video call, Lu Yao pondered over the matter of weapons again.
Currently, I was relying on heavy machine guns for output, but they were no longer capable of taking down Knights in the Blood-Exchange Realm instantly; it was time to consider the Gatling Gun.
But I knew it had to be strictly regted; where could I possibly buy one?
Just then, Lu Yao suddenly thought of Zhao Ya and her family in Yukolun, this former member of the Iron Alliance that had inherited a third of its military strength!
