Chapter 131: The Sage Has No Substance

  The conversation had reached this point, and He Ming decided to discuss the transaction. Unintentionally, he thought of something and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "Wait a minute, you just said Kangxi Shengren? Has that little scoundrel Kangxi become a saint too? Impossible! And what's with this getup? Are you nostalgic for everything from his lifetime?"

  Jordi puffed on his cigarette, a calmness in his eyes, indicating that smoking marijuana had also calmed his mind, and thus his thoughts were very active and normal.

  Qiao Da's face showed a mixture of sadness and laughter, saying: "I like wearing such clothes, I'm used to it, not what you think... The history of the Dead World cannot be fabricated because everyone in the Dead World is a witness and experiencer of history, even leaders. The Kangxi Emperor was truly a sage, and the Qing Dynasty was considered by the Dead World to be the most successful dynasty of the Huaxia nation. Its actual territory was the largest, reaching around 1.34 billion square kilometers at its peak, extending to Central Asia near the Black Sea. In the previous Ming Dynasty, the actual area did not exceed that of the Han Dynasty, and the actual controlled area was only over 500 million square kilometers. The entire emperor did not know how to advance, but instead broadcast useless benevolence. The Yuan Dynasty controlled at most 1.23 billion square kilometers."

  Qiao Da's eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "Even if people die and gain eternal life, and great enjoyment. But still very concerned about the affairs of the living world, especially territorial area, which is the most basic symbol of a country's strength or weakness. Just like a tiger's territory is vast, while a mouse's territory is only one hole. Therefore, when the Qing dynasty conquered all directions, the Chinese people in the dead world cheered for the Qing dynasty. Because previously, the Ming dynasty had strong military power, but it was like a turtle hiding, with emperors being incompetent and scholars fighting each other internally. The Chinese people in the dead world were extremely angry and despised those kings of the Ming dynasty who did nothing, as well as various pseudo-scholars. Therefore, some of them entered the dead world, understood their own actions, and felt that they had gone mad during their lifetime? Extremely regretful."

  "While the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, except for the last Empress Dowager Cixi who entered the world of the dead and was besieged by crazy Qing people, other emperors, especially Kangxi, were highly respected and became saints. Because the Qing Dynasty, as a backward and unenlightened feudal dynasty, had a population that broke through the cycle of around 100 million, which would lead to great chaos, and reached 400 million, laying the foundation for the dominance of the modern republic. Perhaps you feel that the Qing Dynasty, as a Manchu ruling over China, is unacceptable emotionally, but in fact, it is an honor for one nation to be integrated into a group of nations. In the past, there was division, and even you yourself cannot distinguish what kind of person you are, can you guarantee that you are Han? Precisely because the Qing Dynasty was so successful, Kangxi is one of the greatest emperors in Chinese history, definitely a saint."

  He Ming shrugged and asked: "What about Emperor Wu of Han? What about Li Shimin? Were they all inferior to Kangxi?"

  Jiao Da nodded and said, "Yes, Emperor Wu of Han was extremely cruel and sinful, now he is completely gone from the world of the dead. I estimate that he has long since perished in the world of sin. The world of the dead acknowledges him as a person with a twisted personality, because he liked to castrate handsome boys and use them as his male concubines. His character was ruthless and heartless, without any sense of morality. Without the foundation of previous dynasties, he could not resist the Xiongnu. And after defeating the Xiongnu, he had no intention of occupying their land. As a result, the opportunity for the Huaxia nation to capture Siberia for the first time was lost."

  Moreover, although Emperor Wu of Han was a great emperor who successfully defeated the Xiongnu and was canonized as a saint after his death, his cruel and abnormal personality eventually led to him being expelled from the world of the dead and falling into the sinful world. Li Shimin was a very successful emperor and a relatively normal person, but his civil and military achievements were not comparable to those of the Qing dynasty, especially in terms of population, which was only over 60 million at its peak.

  He Ming laughed bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "What about the current President An Hua? How is he compared to Kangxi?"

  Qiao Da laughed and said, "It turns out that it's not as good as Kangxi, because his territory is only 1.05 billion square kilometers, and the Qing Dynasty's 3.5 million square kilometers of land have not been recovered. However, now the dead people in the world are optimistic about An Hua, because under the effect of a certain mysterious treasure, he has become young again, and the international situation is very favorable. The major casinos have already started betting on whether he will launch the Third World War to seize the territory of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Generally speaking, An Hua's chances of winning are extremely high, with a 70% chance of leading China to become the world hegemon. And as for the person who helped An Hua regain his youth, because of his great contributions and his role in the country and nation, he will definitely be revered as a saint after death, but I think he doesn't need it anymore."

  Qiao Da smiled and puffed on his hemp pipe, looking at He Ming with a profound meaning.

  He Ming knew what he meant, that is, himself. He Ming shrugged and smiled: "Give me a big hemp cigarette and hemp smoke too."

  Qiao Da casually pulled out a brand new long-stemmed brass pipe and a pack of marijuana from the pocket of his horse cloak, He Ming didn't take it, looked at it in surprise and said: "Storage bag?!" Because such an ordinary pocket can't hold a pipe and a pack of marijuana.

  Jiao Da nodded and said, "It's a space-processed clothing pocket that can hold many relatively large items, with a capacity similar to a backpack. However, it's quite expensive. It's worth 500 Tongtian Jin Yuan. Unfortunately, it's useless in the world of the living."

  He Ming nodded regretfully, taking a deep drag on the hemp cigarette from the world of the dead. The wonderful sensation rushed into his lungs and soon he felt himself floating, his mind becoming exceptionally clear. He Ming's expression turned pleasant as he asked, "I have a question, earlier you mentioned that those emperors and fake gentlemen who entered the world of the dead were shocked by their own behavior. So how do they face it? What about those incompetent and cruel emperors, and the local kings?"

  "Let me put it this way, after I die, all troubles disappear, the heavy physical body doesn't exist, senses are extremely sensitive, everything is very lively. Then I came to a very bright place, someone received me. He warmly told me everything. First, I got used to that room, started changing my habits, started learning how to surf the internet. At first, there were courses after death. As long as you come to the world of the dead, even if you are a super hypocrite, you haven't done evil, you can be accepted for guidance without being discriminated against. You understand what you've done, do you think you're crazy? Then you can choose another identity to live, no one knows who you were in your previous life."

  "And those who are full of sin, even if they are emperors, will fall into hell. The words of the Son of Heaven are meaningless, and it's just that their reputation is bigger. If you learn from Kangxi and Li Shimin to conquer a large territory, even if you are tyrannical like Emperor Wu of Han or Stalin of Russia, and engage in crazy slaughter, you will still become a saint. On the other hand, if you are timid like a mouse, standing in a leadership position but doing nothing, and instead selling out your territory, you will definitely not be able to enter the world of the dead after you die. Because your position determines your fate."

  "Death is just the beginning, as an emperor who cannot bring benefits to his people and expand their living space will fall into hell even if he has not done evil."

  "How interesting. Fortunately, I am not an emperor."

  He Ming smiled, unzipped his backpack, revealing a small mountain of "meat", looked at Qiao Da with an expectant expression, and said playfully: "Let's make a deal? This is the brain essence of the semi-divine Buddha's physical body. Taking one catty can be very beneficial to the body, increasing strength, physique, and agility..."

  "It's really, it's too precious, unbelievable!" Jo Da's face changed dramatically, the degree of change made He Ming very appreciative, deeply remembered in his heart, and strengthened his acting skills.

  Jiao Da immediately pulled out several machines from his bosom, one of which was a handheld lamp. He placed it on the other side of the original lamp, and suddenly the cramped space under the rock, which had been stuffy and dimly lit, became as bright as if it were in sunlight.

  Qiao Da's face was filled with excitement, holding a cigarette holder but not smoking, using a high-tech tool to examine the brain essence. He then opened a camera-like device on the ground and shot it at the flesh. After that, he spoke urgently to the person in the camera, and He Ming saw the person on the other side of the camera become extremely excited, quickly taking out their phones and starting to dial.

  "Ah, I'm in contact with all the high-level people and experts who can appraise valuable items. By the way, let me introduce you to our company, Dashenggui United Trading. The reason for the name is that the first shareholder of Dashenggui died before he could register the company, but it's well-known even in the underworld. So, he rushed to register Dashenggui first, and later shareholders died, causing disputes over who could represent the company. That's why we created Dashenggui United Trading and joined forces with many Shanxi merchants, making us extremely powerful. Mr. He Ming, I guarantee you'll get a very favorable price for your goods!"

  "Alright, I'll sell a few tens of thousands of kilograms then, almost all of it here! However, if the price isn't good, I won't sell. Don't try to cheat me, I know the prices!"

  He Ming thought for a moment, one kilogram would be enough to take effect, and he could bring 1,000 kilograms with him, which was more than enough. Anyway, it had to be handed over to the country, so he might as well keep a few hundred kilograms in his bag, exchange the rest for soul gold coins or other treasures, and enjoy them all by himself, how wonderful!

  Jiao Da put down the cigarette, repeatedly waving his hand and said: "In a world of dead people, we can't do evil things. Look at my face, it's very clean, right? If I told a lie or did something bad, black stripes would appear. And once black stripes appear on our merchant's face, it means we've lied or done something bad, and we'll be disqualified as merchants immediately! So please rest assured, I'll give you the most reasonable price!"

  "Excellent!"

  He Ming then saw various unbelievable scenes. Having received an urgent communication from Joda, a large number of high-ranking officials in the Galactic Union began to hold virtual meetings.

  A high-rise on a giant wheel in an endless silver ocean enjoys unlimited scenery, receives emergency communication, and he and the scenery behind him are all photographed. Oh my god, it's so beautiful! There is a kind of eternal quiet beauty, no sunlight, everything is like the ocean under the bright moonlight!

  There was another giant in some huge caves, over a hundred meters tall, sitting on the ground like a mountain, chatting casually. Upon seeing the emergency communication, he immediately opened it, and the curious giant baby, who was over ten meters tall, also leaned forward, his huge dark eyes became the background, and his eyeballs were curiously rotating.

  Some are on the desolate desert mountain, building simple houses, meditating in a sitting position, but the tea sets and books around them are all top-notch.

  "What is the brain essence of a semi-divine Buddha's Dharma body?!" said Wang Xiangying, the legendary first person and head of Dashenggui, as he spoke with his tall and sturdy figure, wearing top-of-the-line high-tech western attire, against the backdrop of an incredibly prosperous urban nightscape.

  He Ming looked far away, that towering tens of thousands of meters of massive construction, with soulful flying vehicles and urban background, relying on the living world's technology to chase after several tens of thousands of years still can't catch up.

  Several experts were youthful in appearance, repeatedly letting Joda scan the "flesh". Although very young, their skin was as perfect and flawless as the finest white jade. However, the wisdom in their eyes was ancient and calm, indescribable, and He Ming didn't know what Newton and others looked like now!

  Several experts immediately gave the appraisal result, saying: "The time of death is extremely short, and it is in the best state of Buddha's Dharma body brain essence. I suspect that Arhat fruit has been formed. The quantity is extremely large, and the value is indescribable. According to calculations, using 500 grams to 600 grams or more can produce a huge effect of improving physical quality!"

  "Jiao Da, you consume 600 grams, calculate the results before and after using the human body composition calculator." Wang Xiangying immediately gave this command, He Ming smiled and nodded, saying: "I understand, it's a trial use, free of charge!"

  Jiao Da immediately pulled out a calculator, also a high-tech product, like a piece of leather, unfolded to reveal a large area, capable of calculating weights from 100,000 kilograms down to 0.00 grams.

  He carefully cut exactly 500 grams and put it on, then used a body composition analyzer, like the kind used in airport security checks, to scan himself up and down, and a number appeared: 647.

  Qiao Da handed it over to the curious He Ming, smiling and saying: "Exceeding 5,000 is legendary level, exceeding 100,000 is immortal level. You must have exceeded 100,000."

  After finishing speaking, Qiao Da picked up the pile of meat and smiled apologetically at He Ming before starting to devour it wildly.

  He Ming scanned himself, but the machine didn't respond for a long time. He continued to scan and heard a voice: "Please do not repeat scanning, calculating body quality... Your body quality is too strong..."

  Is this a computer's nonsense? He Ming stroked his chin with satisfaction, the data came out, he took a look and almost got a fright, 895,621, which is more than 8.9 million, according to the four-digit rounding method, it's already 9 million!

  My old man is so powerful! How much for a demigod?!

  He Ming put on his glasses, looked at his own ancient dark golden light, and then looked at Qiao Da, it was actually red light! Red light is only 647? But thinking about it, it's understandable. The best elite warriors on Earth are green light, if there is no bonus of intelligence and influence, the chairman's body light must be white light!

  No wonder Qin Shi Huang, Li Shimin and Kangxi became nominal saints after death. It's too difficult to become a saint physically! No matter how strong your mind is, it won't strengthen your body. You can't gain muscles just by understanding the truth! The only way is to rely on eating precious things! Exercise has little effect, and your innate life determines that you can't train to be more powerful than a tiger!

  He is complacent and proud, with a quality of 90W, how touching and great, I am indeed a saint, or an immortal saint.

  On the other hand, Joda finished eating meat and kept talking about his ideas in front of the video. Then the expert said: "Start scanning quality! The effect is born." Joda scanned it once, and suddenly the entire Da Sheng Wei Union Trade was boiling, with applause everywhere, regardless of where they were. Joda's 647 physical qualities reached 1527, an increase of almost a thousand!

  He Ming didn't know the value of this thousand, but Qiao Da was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling. He died in 1712 AD, but before his death, he was quite diligent and after his death, he studied various martial arts and sports, and his physical quality was very good (red light), which could be used to become an adventurer or a knight of exploration, such as the medieval knight He Ming saw last time.

  Don't look at his height of just over 1.7 meters, but his sturdy and powerful physique is like a Sun Lutang in the mortal world!

  "He wants to sell everything? Great, I'll contact the big companies and banks right away. This is a super big deal that we must bring down no matter what! We must bring it down as our best client for Da Shenggui! He's an immortal with boundless future prospects who can travel freely between worlds!"

  Legendary figure Wang Xiangqing loudly scolded Qiao Da, Qiao Da solemnly nodded in guarantee, then turned his head, with a smile on his face towards He Ming, He Ming also showed a smiling face, both of them had a feeling that they were going to make a big fortune!
