Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 109 - 36: Changes After More Than Ten Days

Chapter 109 -36: Changes After More Than Ten Days

Outer City.

At this moment, Jiang Li looked at the deed in his hand, his eyes involuntarily widening.

His gaze firmly fixed on a particular line on the deed.

The line that marked the main residence foundation.

After quite a few breaths, Jiang Li finally slowly looked up.

“A mansion spanning more than ten acres, did Little Dumpling truly buy this?”

...

Jiang Ning smiled, “Big brother, it’s all there in black and white on the deed, and there’s even the government’s seal. How could it be fake?”

Hearing this, Jiang Li was visibly moved.

A moment later.

He and Liuu Wanwan exchanged glances.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning spoke again, “Big brother, big sister-in-law, there’s no need to think it over! There’s nothing to consider! I can’t live in such a large house by myself.”

“Moreover, you can see that these times are becoming increasingly unsettled!”

“The Outer City is even more chaotic compared to the Inner City!”

“For the sake of Little Dumpling and Yiming, if not for yourselves, you should consider their safety!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately nodded vigorously.

“Little Dumpling is right! The times are indeed unsettled, and the Inner City is indeed much safer!”

At this time.

Liuu Wanwan also spoke, “Ah Ning, thank you!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile with relief.

“Big brother and sister-in-law, why be so formal! I freeloaded so many years without you saying a word!”

Liuu Wanwan felt a pang of guilt as she remembered the nights she had poured out complaints to Jiang Li after hearing Jiang Ning’s words.

Subsequently, they began to gather their belongings, preparing for the move.

…

In the blink of an eye.

More than ten days had passed.

During this time, Jiang Ning only traveled between the martial arts hall and the mansion he had bought adjacent to the Luoshui River.

With him, Jiang Li, and Liuu Wanwan’s family moving in, the mansion officially had the Jiang Mansion nameplate hung.

Living in the new mansion, Jiang Ning truly experienced what it meant to be comfortable.

Covering five acres and divided into three large yards to the north, east, and west, as long as the doors were shut, no one could disturb his skin refining.

The awkwardness he had experienced in the martial arts hall was no more.

With his mood improved, Jiang Ning also felt his martial arts training efficiency had increased.

During these ten days.

The Luoshui County remained calm, and in the martial arts hall, Jiang Ning only heard about the arrival of a senior official from Medicine King Valley leading a team.

According to conversations among the disciples at the martial arts hall, this senior official from Medicine King Valley along with a few skilled individuals came to Luoshui County to capture a notorious bandit wanted by the government.

The notorious Tian Buyi.

Based on various clues, Tian Buyi was hiding in the county town of Luoshui.

Also, from the disciples’ conversations, Jiang Ning learned about the strength of the official from Medicine King Valley, ranked as Martial Arts Seventh Grade.

Much stronger than the notorious Tian Buyi, who was ranked as Martial Arts Eighth Grade.

Moreover, aside from that official, three other skilled individuals ranked as Martial Arts Eighth Grade came along.

This indicated Medicine King Valley’s determination to capture the notorious Tian Buyi.

Jiang Ning was so concerned about this issue because of the bounty on Tian Buyi’s head.

Information on Tian Buyi was rewarded with one hundred silver taels upon verification.

Capturing Tian Buyi would earn a bounty of one hundred taels of gold.

Given the exchange rate of one tael of gold for one thousand taels of silver.

That equated to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Such a high reward naturally drew Jiang Ning’s attention.

If he could capture Tian Buyi and obtain one hundred thousand taels of silver, he would be set for life.

However, Jiang Ning also knew there must be something suspicious.

Why would Tian Buyi, a mere Martial Arts Eighth Grade, warrant a Senior Martial Arts Seventh Grade official personally leading a team to capture him?

Not to mention why Medicine King Valley would offer a huge bounty of one hundred taels of gold.

One hundred taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, was not the bounty one would expect for a Martial Arts Eighth Grade highway robber.

You must understand.

Wang Jin, one of the top experts in Luoshui County, had a fortune estimated at around ten thousand taels of silver.

One hundred thousand silver taels was ten times Wang Jin’s wealth.

Therefore, Jiang Ning speculated that there must be something very fishy about this.

…

In the martial arts hall.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[…]

Jiang Ning practiced the boxing technique over and over again in the front yard.

Each practice increased his Qi-Blood Power by five strands.

Qi-Blood is the foundation of martial arts, the origin of martial arts.

Without strong Qi-Blood, martial arts could hardly advance.

The stronger the Qi-Blood, not only would the physical body become stronger, but martial arts would also advance, and the efficiency of steps such as refining skin and muscles would improve as well.

Thus, Jiang Ning still placed great importance on the Five Animals Fist.

It was related to his growing Qi-Blood.

Not to mention that when his experience value was full and he broke his limit, his boxing realm could further break through, but it also brought him new trait enhancements.

In this regard, Jiang Ning was also full of anticipation.

The Five Animals Fist was the martial arts closest to breaking the limit among those he had mastered.

During the repeated practice of boxing techniques.

Jiang Ning also saw his experience value continuously increasing.

At the same time.

In the front courtyard, many disciples stopped their practice to watch and try to comprehend the boxing techniques practiced by Jiang Ning.

The boxing technique displayed by Jiang Ning at this moment was a performance of great success, integrating spirit and form, hardness and softness, movement and stillness.

For any disciple of the Martial Arts Hall’s front courtyard, it was an opportunity.

As long as they could perceive even a little, their boxing skills would inevitably advance.

Everyone seized this rare opportunity.

They also knew that as Jiang Ning’s strength improved, he spent less and less time in the Martial Arts Hall.

Most of his time during the day was not spent at the Martial Arts Hall but at his own home.

They had long been aware of this.

After practicing the boxing techniques several times in a row.

Jiang Ning felt his physical energy was overly depleted. As he condensed a large amount of Qi-Blood Power, his body also felt slightly empty, and then he stopped practicing boxing.

Then.

He directly picked up the half-piece of wild ginseng lying nearby, threw it into his mouth, and chewed.

Until the sun-dried wild ginseng was chewed into tiny bits and swallowed, he began to feel the emptiness in his body gradually disappearing.

Afterward, he opened his panel and took a look.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy]: 53.8

[Skills]:

Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 811/3000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

Five Animals Fist (Perfection 533/1000)

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Third Limit Breaking 4000/4000) (Traits: Touch and Understand, Blade as Quick as Wind, God-like Blade Control)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 807/2000)

Canglang Blade Skill (Master 1/200)

Vajra Immortal Body (Beginner 721/1000)

After reviewing his panel, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Over the past ten-plus days.

His Source Energy Points had grown from a few points to 53.8, an extremely rapid growth, satisfying the third limit breaking of skills such as Chopping Wood Blade Skill and Reading and Writing.

However, although the Chopping Wood Blade Skill had already completed its third limit breaking, and the experience value for the fourth limit breaking was met.

He guessed that 100 points of Source Energy Points would be needed to meet the requirement for the fourth limit breaking. Although the experience value was fulfilled, the Source Energy Points were still far from sufficient.

While Reading and Writing had only undergone the second limit breaking, the experience value was still quite far from the third limit breaking, lacking more than two thousand points.

Considering the difficulty of obtaining experience points from Reading and Writing, Jiang Ning also knew that it was hopeless to expect this skill to undergo a third limit breaking any time soon.

The real constraint for the limit breaking of this skill was the growth of experience value.

At the same time.

Jiang Ning was extremely satisfied with the growth in his Five Animals Fist, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, and Vajra Immortal Body.

The experience value of the Five Animals Fist in the state of Perfection had already exceeded half, achieving 533 points.

During this period, his experience value increased by more than four hundred points.

This meant he had practiced the Five Animals Fist over four hundred more times.

Each repetition of the Five Animals Fist brought him five strands of Qi-Blood Power, meaning his Qi-Blood Power had increased by over two thousand strands during this time.

Compared to when he had just stepped into the Martial Arts Ninth Grade, his Qi-Blood Power had grown by at least fifty percent.

This period of advancement was indeed huge!

The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill also leaped from less than four hundred points of experience to over eight hundred.

An increase of over four hundred points of experience made Jiang Ning feel his internal organs getting stronger, his stamina improving, and the next realm of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was not far off.

But the most significant improvement was in the Vajra Immortal Body.

[Skills]: Vajra Immortal Body (Beginner 721/1000)

This cultivation technique was only two hundred plus points away from the next realm.

This indicated he was not far from the level of Stone Skin.

In his recent inner visions.

Jiang Ning also saw his own skin’s membrane gradually changing from dark red to white.

As he knew, reaching the level of Stone Skin meant the membrane under the skin turned completely white.

White was the characteristic of Stone Skin.

Once reaching the level of Stone Skin, which is the small success stage of Martial Arts Nine Grade, the skin would be as hard as stone.

Ordinary swords and even sharp knives from regular households could hardly cause fatal wounds to a martial artist at this level, let alone common household knives and choppers.

Martial Arts Ninth Grade, in a strict sense, only by reaching the Stone Skin level would a preliminary qualitative change be triggered.

Looking at his own panel, Jiang Ning was fueled with motivation.

With his current efficiency, the Stone Skin level was not far off, or rather very close.

In just another eight or nine days, he would be able to reach the level of Stone Skin, leading to a true qualitative change.

By then, Jiang Ning felt his strength would take a massive leap.

Because once he reached Stone Skin, his physique and ability to withstand impacts would greatly increase.

This would also enable him to endure more powerful bursts of strength.

In Jiang Ning’s view, by then, stacking double-layer strength from the Nine Layers of Strength as a regular tactic would not be a problem; it would become his standard method.

Being able to frequently unleash double-layer stacked strength, his strength would increase by at least twice.

By that time, with such an advantage, even facing Martial Arts Eighth Grade, Divine Power Realm experts, Jiang Ning would have the confidence to engage them.
