Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 173 - 79: A Visit to Medicine King Valley

Above the Luoshui River.

Huang San watched Jiang Ning's back disappearing into the distance, and only then did he carefully climb aboard the multi-storied boat.

"Thank you, my lord!"

He knelt down towards the lake's horizon, where Jiang Ning's silhouette merged with the sky, then slowly rose to his feet.

Afterwards, he glanced at the twisted figure of the man lying next to his feet.

"Bad luck!"

He spat on the corpse and kicked it fiercely.

Although the corpse was twisted beyond recognition, how could he not know who it was.

That pinch-faced simian look, he could never forget in his lifetime.

He had been caught and brought here all because of this person.

Then, he searched the boat for medicine for himself.

His wounds had been soaked in water for too long, and if he didn't treat them timely, his life would be at risk.

As he searched around, wherever his eyes landed, there were corpses strewn all over.

A quick check revealed that the deaths of these bodies were peculiarly strange.

None had wounds; all had died bleeding from their seven orifices.

"Is that man a demon or a deity?" Huang San thought of Jiang Ning's face that he had just seen.

Although Jiang Ning had been backlit by the setting sun, and the light was dim, preventing a clear view.

But one thing he could make out was that Jiang Ning was very young.

The youthfulness of his features couldn't be concealed.

So young, yet he had done such a heaven-shocking deed and possessed such eerie methods.

A moment later.

After Huang San had applied medicine on his wound and rewrapped it, he also untied a small boat and headed toward the shore.

...

On Rough Stone Beach.

Seeing the boat filled with the spoils, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

He had not expected that today's simple sortie would accidentally result in such a generous bounty.

A fish on the verge of turning into a demon.

A pouch full of Silver Taels and silver notes.

A saber that originally belonged to Shi Xiaoyuan, a Martial Arts Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm master.

And the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that he had already completely refined.

Each of the items was of no small value.

Not to mention, there was a whole stockpile of iron ore in the sunken ship.

Selling this stockpile of iron ore would bring in another significant fortune.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning took out the black lump of Black stone from his person.

"If it really is as I suspect, this will be the greatest gain of my journey."

Jiang Ning looked at the Black stone in his hand, his heart brimming with anticipation.

Because if it was as he predicted.

His physique would continuously improve, and the 'Swimming' skill's Experience Value would also have a new avenue of growth.

As this skill kept breaking limits, Jiang Ning had overturned his previous view.

It is not that a common skill had no potential.

The changes brought about by the 'Swimming' skill after breaking limits were simply exaggerated.

Whether it was the Water Control Divine Ability or the all-encompassing enhancement to his state when entering water, both traits had extremely powerful effects.

Even compared to the traits gained from breaking limits with the Five Animals Fist, it was not inferior.

Afterwards.

Jiang Ning decided that he would test whether the Black stone was effective.

Having made his decision, he placed the Black stone against his body, over his clothes, then carried his gains in both hands and headed towards his home.

...

Elsewhere.

"Senior, please wait here for a moment, my younger brother went out early this morning; he should be back soon considering the time."

"Not a problem, I'm not busy with anything, I can wait for him!" Liu Qingsong spoke calmly.

Then, after a short conversation between the two, Jiang Li, at Liu Qingsong's gesture, left the hall.

"Elder, even though Jiang Li is just an ordinary constable, he's managed to live in such a large house. He surely has a good brother."

After Jiang Li had left, a person beside Liu Qingsong slowly spoke up.

Hearing this, Liu Qingsong slightly nodded: "Indeed, he has a good brother. Jiang Ning, that kid, reached Martial Arts Ninth Grade in just a few months; his talent is strong. Even within the valley, he could become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"Does Elder have any ideas about recruiting him into the valley?" another man inquired.

Liu Qingsong shook his head slightly: "This man is now the Direct Disciple of Wang Jin, and in a few days, he should join the Inspection Office! Either of these statuses means he cannot become a disciple of our Medicine King Valley, so there's no point."

"True!" the other man nodded with a smile: "The Elder sees clearly!"

Then, he asked another question: "Elder, do you think, could Jiang Ning have anything to do with Tian Buyi's death?"

Liu Qingsong slowly shook his head: "Although there were traces of him on the desolate island, he shouldn't have much to do with Tian Buyi's death! After all, Tian Buyi was a high-level master of the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm. Even if you two teamed up, you might not surely defeat him."

"Let alone such a small Ninth Grade Martial Artist."

"Even if Tian Buyi was hurt by my palm, he wasn't so weak that a little Ninth Grade Martial Artist could provoke him."

"Today's visit is mainly to ask him if he has seen Tian Buyi or some people."

"Tian Buyi died on the desolate island; it must have been the doing of a truly strong person."

"By now, the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill must be in the hands of the one who killed Tian Buyi."

...

Elsewhere.

"Big Brother, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ning asked Jiang Li, who was standing at the front door.

"Little Brother, you've arrived just in time. A distinguished guest has come to visit you today; he's currently waiting for you in the front hall!" Jiang Li said.

"Distinguished guest?" Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised, "Who is it?"
