Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 135: Chapter 58 Soaring Efficiency, Lin Qingyi’s Idea!

By the Luoshui River.

East courtyard.

Jiang Ning assumed the first position of the Vajra Immortal Body, and moments later, the second, then the third…

As he circulated the Five Beasts Strength, driving the Qi-Blood around his body,

He suddenly felt a completely different sensation than before.

The Five Beasts Strength seemed to have undergone a transformation, filled with a spiritual essence.

Promoting the flow of Qi-Blood, he also felt the refining effect on his body’s skin membrane greatly increased.

At the same time,

Prompts of the increase in the Vajra Immortal Body’s Experience Value appeared before him.

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

After three such prompts,

He immediately switched to the second position.

Continuing to circulate the Five Beasts Strength, pushing the Qi-Blood throughout his body.

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]

Another three prompts, and he then switched to the third position of Vajra Immortal Body, followed by the fourth, the fifth…

In the blink of an eye,

He had completed all nine body-refining positions recorded in the damaged manual of the Vajra Immortal Body.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Master 295/2000)

Glancing at the panel, Jiang Ning’s eyes once again sparkled with joy.

“The experience value of the Vajra Immortal Body has skyrocketed from 266 before refining the skin membrane to 295 now.”

“Efficiency has doubled!!!”

“In the same amount of time, using the same method of refining the skin membrane, the experience value soared by 29 points!”

“Hiss—” Considering this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

He continued to mutter to himself, “The breakthrough of the Five Animals Fist has brought such a significant improvement, tripling the efficiency of skin membrane refining!”

“Moreover, my current rate of progress is without any external assistance. If I were to take a medicinal bath in Golden Body Water later, the efficiency of skin refining would surely soar again.”

“It seems that Refining Skin Mastery, and the day when my skin is tough as copper, is not far off!”

Excitement filled Jiang Ning’s heart.

With Refining Skin Mastery, according to the world’s martial arts standards, he could truly begin refining the muscles of his entire body.

Thus stepping into Martial Arts Eighth Grade, entering the Divine Power Realm.

If he reached this step, even when viewed across an entire county, he would be a true figure of importance, a person no one dared to overlook.

Afterward,

Feeling the depletion within his body, he took out a bottle of Plant Essence and swallowed it.

Tsk tsk—

He smacked his lips twice and couldn’t help but exclaim, “After the breakthrough of the Five Animals Fist, a single boxing session refines ten strands of Qi-Blood, greatly increasing the body’s consumption.”

“The efficiency of skin membrane refinement has also begun to increase significantly, and once again the body’s consumption has surged dramatically.”

“My current rate of consumption cannot be sustained by two bottles of Plant Essence a day anymore!”

“At least four or five bottles are needed daily now.”

“The fifty bottles of Plant Essence I bought over ten days ago will not last a few more days.”

“After I attend Wang Jin’s Direct Disciple apprenticeship feast the day after tomorrow, I’ll have to go buy some more Plant Essence!”

“I’ll also need to get a new, suitable blade.”

“The ebony long blade I have now is too light, and its quality too poor!”

“If I had had a good blade in hand during the underwater fight with Tian Buyi that day, I believe it would have posed a much greater threat to him.”

Mulling over these things in his mind, Jiang Ning walked towards the east courtyard’s kitchen.

…

Direction of the kitchen.

“Little brother!” Seeing Jiang Ning’s arrival, Jiang Li couldn’t help but grin widely.

After greeting him, Jiang Ning stripped off his clothes and, wearing only his shorts, jumped into the already heated wooden tub.

Inside the tub, strands of golden threads flowed around like swimming dragons.

This was the manifestation of demonic blood.

At this moment, a package of Golden Body Water had already melted into the hot water, and its medicinal power was thoroughly infused into the steaming water.

“Little brother, can you handle it?” After getting into the water, Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask.

Feeling the changes in his body, Jiang Ning nodded calmly without a change in expression, “No problem!”

Jiang Ning seemed relaxed on the surface, but in reality, it was anything but easy.

Suddenly jumping into a tub of boiling water, how could it be easy.

Not to mention that the hot water contained the blend of medicinal herbs.

At this moment, as his pores opened under the hot water, Jiang Ning immediately felt waves of domineering power enter his body.

It felt as though thousands of needles were piercing through the pores all over his body and into his skin membrane.

Instantly,

Jiang Ning slowly closed his eyes and introspected his body.

Under this inner vision, he saw strands of medicinal power enter every part of the skin membrane throughout his body through the pores opened in the hot water.

The infusion of this medicinal power made him feel as if his skin was in a relaxed state.

The recent strain on the skin membrane from practicing the Vajra Immortal Body was gradually soothed away by the medicinal bath.

This made Jiang Ning feel comfortable, but at the same time, his body was in constant, needle-like pain.

Especially when he was introspecting his body, occasionally a strand of golden thread would pass through his pores and reach the skin, causing a sudden and intense pain.

The muscles and skin in that area would twitch slightly multiple times in response to this stimulus.

“It really is a sweet pain!” Jiang Ning silently sighed to himself.

Then he calmly accepted it all.

An hour later,

Jiang Ning seemed to wake from a deep sleep, his eyes slowly opening.

Looking down, he saw the originally murky hot water was now slightly clearer.

The biggest change was that there were no longer any visible strands of golden threads in the water.

Whoosh—

Jiang Ning got up.

The scalding hot water slid off his body and fell back into the wooden tub at his feet.

“Little brother! How do you feel?” Jiang Li inquired.

“Very good!” Jiang Ning nodded in reply.
