Afterward, he seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, showing a look of relief.

Hearing Ji Minghao’s sincere and lengthy speech, Jiang Ning immediately nodded.

"I accept the favor from the Eighth Prince!"

"Good!!" Ji Minghao immediately showed a cheerful smile.

Although he didn’t hear any specific promise from Jiang Ning, he seemed quite satisfied.

"Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave!" Ji Minghao cupped his hands towards Jiang Ning.

Then he turned and left.

Watching Ji Minghao gradually depart, boarding the waiting carriage nearby, and the fading wheel tracks, Jiang Ning finally withdrew his gaze.

He thought a lot and understood that Ji Minghao’s sincerity was also a form of imperial technique.

But even knowing this, his heart couldn’t help but be somewhat moved.

Accepted the favor from Ji Minghao.

Because Ji Minghao’s help to him was indeed very great.

Today’s resources delivered into his hands were indeed like sending charcoal in the snow.

With just the thirty-six bottles of Dragon Dormant Spiritual Liquid sent by Ji Minghao, it was enough to save him a lot of cultivation time.

In the current situation, time is life.

Since Ji Minghao has delivered these things, how can he not accept them?

He silently withdrew his gaze, his heart relaxing a bit.

With Ji Minghao’s help, his progress in strength would undoubtedly be faster.

The assistance of cultivation resources can further improve the efficiency of progress in his cultivation technique skill.

The faster and stronger the improvement of strength, the higher the sense of personal security.

Then.

He personally went forward to knock on the door of the National Master Mansion.

After a brief silence.

The sound of snow being crushed came from behind the door.

The next moment.

With the collision sound of the door latch, the heavy, vermilion door slowly opened.

Through the slowly opening door slit, he saw a pretty little face.

At the moment she saw Jiang Ning, the eyes on that pretty little face instantly brightened.

"Marquis!!" Qinghe pushed open the heavy vermilion door of the National Master Mansion, her voice light.

"Quite unexpected, isn’t it?" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"It is very unexpected!" Qinghe nodded heavily: "Marquis said you would be away for a while and return at the end of the year; I never thought I would see you at this time."

Qinghe immediately chattered away.

Jiang Ning smiled: "Some incidents occurred, hence I came here to seek refuge."

"I know, I heard about it from the State Preceptor a couple of days ago." Qinghe said.

Jiang Ning nodded and walked across the door of the National Master Mansion.

Qinghe closed the door behind him, lowering the latch.

"Marquis, I’ll go inform the State Preceptor! She should be very pleased to know you returned at this time!"

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "She already knows I’m here."

As his words fell.

A gust of wind blew past the front.

Soon, Su Qingying, still dressed in summer attire, appeared before Jiang Ning.

Looking at Su Qingying, Jiang Ning smiled: "You wouldn’t mind if I sought refuge here, would you?"

He spoke directly.

Su Qingying immediately nodded: "Marquis, stay well in my mansion. With me here, not many in this world can harm you in my domain!"

She also followed the trend in addressing Jiang Ning.

Simultaneously, her tone was filled with strong confidence.

"Then thank you!" Jiang Ning replied.

Su Qingying shook her head: "Marquis, no need for courtesy; make yourself at home in my mansion. The previous courtyard has been cleaned daily by Hong Mian, you can move in directly."

"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Hong Mian, the second maid in the National Master Mansion.

Over the years, the vast National Master Mansion has only had two maids, Qinghe and Hong Mian.

"In that case, why don’t Marquis first meet your brother and sister-in-law? I won’t disturb you!" Su Qingying said.

As Su Qingying’s words fell, she swiftly left Jiang Ning’s sight.

"Marquis, I will go clean your room again!" Qinghe said.

Then, watching Qinghe’s figure walking away on the snow, Jiang Ning headed towards the courtyard where Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan resided.

...

"Uncle!!"

In the snow, Jiang Yuanyuan was building a snowman. Hearing the sound of snow being crushed behind her, she turned around, and her eyes instantly brightened.

Her round eyes glistened like flawless black crystals, clear and bright.

"Little Uncle!" Jiang Yiming, who was watching Little Dumpling from the side, also greeted Jiang Ning when he saw him.

Watching Little Dumpling running towards him joyfully in the snow.

Jiang Ning’s face immediately showed a relaxed smile.

He squatted down, then picked up Little Dumpling in his arms.

A moment later.

Little Dumpling’s giggles suddenly echoed far in the snow.

"Ah Ning!!" Hearing the commotion, Liuu Wanwan came out from the back kitchen and immediately saw Jiang Ning in the courtyard.

Then Jiang Li also appeared.

Seeing Jiang Ning, both were surprised.

...

Afternoon.

The scattered snowflakes completely stopped.

Jiang Ning stood in the snow.

A flash of light passed through his hand, and a bottle of Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid appeared in his hand.

"With the help of these resources, my efficiency in practicing the Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique will be higher!"

He looked at the Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid in his hand, silently speaking to himself.

Then, with a thought, an illusory panel appeared before his eyes.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique (Great Success 5733/10000)

Compared to the previous two days, the progress of the Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique had made great strides, getting closer to Perfection.

In the next moment.

He closed the panel and opened the cap on the Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid.

In an instant.

A deep dragon roar sounded from the porcelain bottle.

Through the bottle opening, he saw mist swirling, with dragon-shaped creatures forming.

"With the help of this, the efficiency should be much higher in the future."

Looking at the Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid in the bottle, Jiang Ning’s thoughts flashed.

Then, he inhaled deeply, and the mist turned into a dragon-shaped creature and rushed straight into his nostrils.

He immediately closed his eyes, focusing his Heart Spirit into the Spirit Platform.

In the Spirit Platform, at that moment, a great star hung high, with endless flames burning on the star body, releasing light like the blazing sun.

Then the celestial body burned out, everything returned to Gui Xu.

Soon, heaven and earth opened up, pure qi ascended, impure energy descended.

Flowers bloomed in the void, hundreds of trees grew, all things competed to begin.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter cycled, day and night alternated.

Everything was in constant cycles of destruction, all things returned to nothingness.

And in this realm, there was always a figure.

No matter the changes outside, this figure remained eternal.

Amidst the continuous illusion and extinction, he felt the True Spirit imprint in his Divine Soul radiating brilliantly, with bits of spiritual light scattering and merging with his Divine Soul.

At the same time, prompts occasionally appeared in front of him

[Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique Experience Value +31]

[Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique Experience Value +32]

[Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique Experience Value +30]

[...]

Compared to before, the experience value gained from each prompt immediately soared, progressing rapidly.

Despite seeing these prompts, his heart remained calm, continuing to cultivate the Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique.

...

At night.

The clear moon hung high.

The bright moonlight swept across the snow, making the courtyard as bright as daylight.

Suddenly.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

His gaze bright, seemingly containing starlight.

He glanced at the panel.

[Skill]: Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique (Great Success 6417/10000)

"The progress is completely different!" He closed the panel, filled with emotion.

With or without the assistance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the efficiency is drastically different.

Even for him, the assistance of cultivation items is perfectly evident.

A more than threefold improvement in efficiency.

Half a day’s effort almost equaled two days’ effort before.

And today, he only consumed two bottles of Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid.

At this efficiency, he simply calculated and realized that consuming more than fifty bottles of Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid on him would be enough to accumulate nearly twenty thousand experience value.

Not to mention, after resting each day and adjusting his state, he could also rely on the wonders of the Inner Realm to accelerate the cultivation of the Spirit Platform Cave Vision True Self Technique.

"Now, the efficiency is more than twice as before!"

"The First-grade path is right in front!"

His thoughts flashed, instantly filled with excitement and motivation.

Then, he looked up at the bright moon overhead, taking advantage of the early night.

He once again absorbed a Dragon Hibernation Spiritual Liquid into his body and continued into cultivation.
