Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 120: Chapter 45 Swimming Break Limit, New Trait (Two in One, One More Update)_3

This was a huge invisible advantage, and it was also his reliance.

The most crucial thing was that the emergence of this trait only consumed ten of his Source Energy Points.

With his current rate of accumulating Source Energy Points, he could amass ten Source Energy Points in just three to four days.

This had to be said to be a very cost-effective investment.

Afterward.

He stayed quietly in the water.

Jiang Ning slowly exhaled the oxygen stored in his abdomen.

He wanted to test how efficient underwater breathing actually was.

If in the accumulation of combat, relying on the underwater breathing trait, could it really provide him with enough oxygen consumption underwater?

It was known that the more intense the situation,

the higher the demand for oxygen.

After a moment.

Jiang Ning had exhaled all the oxygen stored in his lungs, and after emptying the oxygen in his lungs, he felt oxygen entering his body through the pores all over his body.

Although the amount of oxygen absorbed by each pore was not much, or even very little,

the human body had many pores.

Soon, Jiang Ning felt his lungs were filled with fresh and crisp oxygen again.

Feeling the change inside his body, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad! This efficiency is high, even if I fight underwater, I won’t suffocate!”

“This is indeed a very practical trait.”

At that moment, having mastered this trait, Jiang Ning also felt a bit of curiosity.

Luoshui Lake was so vast, what kind of scenery lay at the bottom of the lake?

With so many ships passing back and forth over countless years on the lake’s surface, would there be a sunken ship filled with gold and jade at the bottom?

The deeper parts of the lake were a desolate wilderness belonging to no man.

Could it be that some unknown Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures beneficial to Martial Arts were hidden there?

With this thought, he then prepared to delve into the surrounding lake bottom to see.

Now that he could freely breathe underwater, it also meant he could freely move underwater.

Immediately.

He waved his hands through the water, his form shooting through the undercurrents like an arrow.

“Such quick speed!” Feeling the change in himself, Jiang Ning felt somewhat surprised.

He could clearly feel that his speed was now about twenty to thirty percent faster than before.

The reason for this was evident without guessing, it surely was because his Swimming trait had achieved a breakthrough.

From Perfection to the enhancement brought by his first Break Limit.

…

A moment later.

Tian Buyi appeared on a cliff.

“Cough cough—”

He still coughed lightly a few times.

After coughing, he looked at the palm of his hand covering his mouth, and there was not a trace of blood.

His mind felt somewhat relieved.

“My internal injury has healed a bit, but it has not really recovered. I cannot be too vigorous.”

“Now I need to quickly find that man named Jiang Ning whom Cao Rong entrusted me to kill. I have seen his portrait before; as long as I find him, I can recognize him and kill him!”

“As long as I kill him, I will have completed the task Cao Rong gave me, and I can confidently flee far away, away from Luoshui County, away from Medicine King Valley’s pursuit.”

Tian Buyi murmured to himself, and thinking up to this, his eyes grew thoughtful.

Looking at the building clusters on the banks of the Luoshui.

“According to the information I previously gathered, he moved house and is probably in that area.”

“As soon as I see him, I’ll definitely recognize him.”

“With my current strength, although I still have an internal injury, relying on my Martial Arts Eighth Grade strength, killing him is as easy as killing a chick, picking up a stone could smash his head.”

“The only problem now is finding him.”

Just then.

Splashing sounds—

A head suddenly emerged from the lake surface ahead, stirring up waves.

“Someone?” Tian Buyi’s eyes flashed with alertness instantly.

Since Liu Qingsong found him last time, he dared not be careless.

He knew clearly if Liu Qingsong found him again, he must jump into the lake immediately, otherwise, he would definitely die at Liu Qingsong’s hands.

Martial Arts Seventh Grade Liu Qingsong, after a simple encounter, let him know that he was incomparably weaker than Liu Qingsong.

Even in his prime, he couldn’t last a few rounds against Liu Qingsong.

Not to mention now that he had an internal injury.

Thus, seeing the figure emerging from the water, Tian Buyi’s mind also became extremely alert.

The next moment.

After somewhat clearly seeing the face of the person emerging from the water, Tian Buyi’s heart suddenly relaxed.

“It’s a young man! Good! It should not be someone from Medicine King Valley; those sent by Medicine King Valley to kill me aren’t this young.”

Then, Tian Buyi’s gaze sharpened.

“Wait!”

“This is… This is the person Cao Rong entrusted me to kill.”

“He is… Jiang Ning!”

After somewhat clearly seeing the face of the person emerging from the lake, Tian Buyi’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

His heart suddenly filled with wild joy.

“Heaven favors me!”

“It’s as if I’ve been searching tirelessly to no avail, only to find it effortlessly!”

“Killing this kid, I’d be able to confidently flee far away!”

Tian Buyi’s face also showed a look of wild joy.

The worries in his mind from before were instantly swept away.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning emerged from the lake, his expression slightly joyful, and his mood also became extremely good.

Because he had spent a long time at the bottom of the lake and found a Blood Lotus.

Blood Lotus, a plant that grows in water.

Its shape resembles a lotus, and it is entirely blood-colored, hence the name Blood Lotus.

For those practicing Martial Arts, it is truly a treasure that could be categorized as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Without needing special methods, after chewing and swallowing it, it could greatly enhance Qi-Blood without any side effects.

Any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can increase Qi-Blood are extremely valuable.

What’s more, the Blood Lotus in his hands was fifty years old and had five leaves.

According to Jiang Ning’s understanding.

A wild Blood Lotus of ten years generally cost fifty taels of silver.

Twenty years would double in price, and a thirty-year-old three-leaved Blood Lotus would double again.

And it continues doubling from there.

A fifty-year-old Blood Lotus was worth eight hundred taels of silver.

Equivalent to picking up eight hundred taels of silver, how could he not be joyful!
