Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 77: Chapter 7 The Dust Settles

By the lake.

Watching Shen Congyun and Lin Qingyi depart, Jiang Ning’s gaze returned to the few golden papers in his hand.

The continuation of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill?

This should also be helpful to me.

Shortly after.

He meticulously read through the golden papers detailing the continuation of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had finished reading the contents of the few golden papers.

With his unforgettable memory, the contents were deeply etched into his mind like carvings.

“After entering the gate, you still need to breathe and release the Essence Qi of the Great Sun to temper your organs, but the Sun’s Essence Qi after sunrise is wildly intense, difficult for ordinary people to withstand. Indeed, there is a guiding method,” Jiang Ning mumbled to himself.

He felt somewhat excited.

With a guiding method, from now on, the efficiency of his daily breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi to temper his organs would greatly increase.

As a result, the efficiency of gaining experience would also increase, and the time for further breakthroughs in the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill would be shortened due to the enhanced rate of gaining experience.

This would undoubtedly make the speed of his strength increase faster.

You should know, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is an exceptional skill, a supreme skill for tempering the organs.

Normally, Inner Strength is a realm only reached at the Martial Arts Fifth Grade.

In this realm, tempering the organs and being fearless in prolonged battles, one has enduring strength and can condense Inner Breath to strike enemies from a distance.

The powerful ones can condense Inner Breath as solid as steel, capable of breaking through a thousand armors with a single sword.

Although this supreme skill lacks the Perfect Method, based on Jiang Ning’s reading, if he could only break through the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill to Great Success.

He would be able to reach the level of organ thunder sound and Inner Breath Like Gang.

At this moment.

After finishing reading, Jiang Ning also realized why Shen Congyun had helped him.

Because his Inner Elixir Cultivation had reached the introductory level.

A supreme skill, breaking through the entrance in such a short time, in Jiang Ning’s view, should be the reason Shen Congyun helped him.

Perhaps in Shen Congyun’s eyes, his Inner Elixir Cultivation might successfully break through to Great Success in the future, allowing him to easily step beyond the ranks of the Martial Arts Fifth Grade and enter the Fourth Grade realm.

This potential future made Shen Congyun willing to help him at this moment.

But even now, with some speculation in his mind, Jiang Ning was still immensely grateful for Shen Congyun’s assistance today.

If Shen Congyun hadn’t made a move to help him, today he would have had a difficult time resolving the situation.

His elder brother and sister-in-law’s family would likely have died with grievances.

Even if he could take revenge in the future, he could at best only soothe the thorn in his heart.

With Shen Congyun’s intervention, based on what Cao Rong said just now, his elder brother and sister-in-law’s family should be safe.

Thinking about everything that happened today, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Without sufficient power, one is like duckweed in the wind, unable to control one’s own life!” he sighed inwardly.

“Fortunately, Building Owner Shen, such a great figure intervened!” Thinking of this, he felt even more fortunate.

The next moment.

He grasped the few golden papers detailing the continuation of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill in his hand.

“This Cultivation Technique cannot be underestimated, I can’t fall behind!”

“If in the future I can reach the small success realm, I will condense my Inner Breath ahead of time, and if it’s a Great Success, the Inner Breath will be as solid as Gang, possessing terrifying invincibility.”

“Then, perhaps I only need to step into the Martial Arts Eighth Grade to have the strength to slay Cao Rong.”

“And I won’t ever feel powerless like today again!!”

“The feeling of powerlessness when life and fate are controlled by others!!”

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

His gaze fell on the panel.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation (Entry 31/1000)

And with the miraculous nature of my panel, even though I lacked the methods after entry, I was still able to accumulate experience for this skill.

Now even though I lack the Perfect Method of Inner Elixir Cultivation, maybe with the magic of my panel, I could still achieve breaking through to Perfection of this supreme skill.

If I could truly achieve Perfection, then perhaps I would possess incredible might!

After all, it is a supreme skill!!!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but yearn.

…

Canglang Martial Arts Hall.

Watching the appearance of Jiang Ning.

Everyone looked at Jiang Ning with envious eyes.

“Such good fortune, to be favored by Building Owner Shen!”

“Yes!”

Several people whispered among themselves.

Cheng Ran also looked at Jiang Ning with envious eyes.

Then, he approached Jiang Ning.

“Brother Jiang, Master Wang said to find him in the backyard when you return.”

Jiang Ning nodded, “Brother Cheng, thank you just now!”

Seeing Jiang Ning’s earnest gaze, Cheng Ran thumped Jiang Ning’s chest.

“Brother Jiang, you’re too polite. I was still a bit late in informing. Fortunately, Master Wang stepped forward.”

“And…Building Owner Shen also stepped forward to help Brother Jiang!”

Jiang Ning, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement.

“Yes! I’m really indebted to Master and Building Owner Shen for their help, otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do!”

He sighed, then said, “Brother Cheng, I’ll go find Master Wang now!”

“Okay!” Cheng Ran nodded.

…

Martial Arts Hall’s backyard.

“Master!”

Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning and nodded slightly, “What are your thoughts today?”

Jiang Ning said, “Without strength, one can only be at the mercy of others!”

Wang Jin nodded, “You’re right, without strength, one can only be at the mercy of others.”

At this point, Wang Jin sighed again.

“You don’t know, Cao Rong is such a proud person, with official honors and Martial Arts Seventh Grade, and has achieved great success in Refining Muscle. In Luoshui County, his strength is among the top five. He even disdains an old man like me.”

“But as soon as Building Owner Shen appeared, Cao Rong immediately bowed his head.”

“That is the status brought by power.”

Jiang Ning said, “Disciple understands, I will double my efforts from now on.”

Wang Jin smiled, “No need to double your efforts, you are already working hard enough! But remember, there is no end to Martial Arts, even the Martial Saint, who is atop everyone’s head, has not reached the end of Martial Arts.”

“I hope you can always maintain your original intention, be brave and make vigorous progress, and not become complacent and arrogant when you achieve a certain level of success in the future.”

Jiang Ning bowed, “Disciple will surely keep Master’s teachings in mind.”

Hearing this, Wang Jin nodded again slightly.

Then he added, “Shen Congyun, as the Vice Building Owner of the Wanhua Building here, is not supposed to engage in local power struggles according to the rules of the Wanhua Building. Today he broke the rules for you; you should remember his favor.”

Jiang Ning said, “Disciple understands! I’m not ungrateful.”

Wang Jin continued, “But today, Building Owner Shen was willing to risk breaking the rules of the Wanhua Building to help you. This shows his high regard for you, and you must seize this opportunity.”

“In a lifetime, such great opportunities are rare. Once missed, it’s truly missed, and the regret is irreparable.”

“Seizing this opportunity is extremely important for you.”

Jiang Ning nodded again, “Disciple understands! I will definitely remember Master’s teachings.”

Wang Jin looked at the Jiang Ning before him, nodding with satisfaction.

Then, he hesitated and then asked,

“Do you know why Building Owner Shen suddenly helped you?”

Hearing this, sensing Wang Jin’s curiosity, Jiang Ning smiled.

Then he said, “Because of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.”

Before Jiang Ning could say more, Wang Jin suddenly exclaimed, “Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill?”

Jiang Ning nodded, “Yes, because Building Owner Shen saw that I had entered the gateway of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, so he was willing to help me.”

At this moment, Wang Jin also fully understood.

“So that’s why, because of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill. Now I understand!” He slowly nodded and looked at Jiang Ning again, “A few days ago, you entered the study and must have seen the pages of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill on my desk.”

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded again, then said, “Disciple secretly practiced this technique. Please punish me, Master!”

Looking at the bowing Jiang Ning, Wang Jin laughed, “What’s there to punish? What’s the harm in that? It’s a good thing! I also received this special Inner Strength Method from Building Owner Shen because I possess Innate Spiritual Wisdom.”

“Now you have caught his eye also for this reason.”

“This really is quite a destiny!”

Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning, increasingly pleased.

Being valued by Shen Congyun, Jiang Ning’s Martial Arts talent naturally goes without saying, and furthermore, they are of the same kind—those with Innate Spiritual Wisdom.

Having received Shen Congyun’s help now, one could imagine his future achievements would certainly not be low.

Then he thought of the scene that had just happened.

He had felt the Nine Layers of Strength in Jiang Ning’s body.

Thinking this, Wang Jin suddenly spoke.

“That’s right, if I didn’t feel wrong just now, you have mastered the Power of the Nine Layers of Strength!”

Jiang Ning, hearing this, candidly said, “Yes, not long ago, I entered the gateway of the Canglang Blade Skill, mastering the Nine Layers of Strength.”

Hearing the affirmative answer from Jiang Ning, Wang Jin’s eyes flashed with enlightenment.

Even though he had just known about it, hearing those words still made him feel somewhat shocked.

He had only shown this secret Martial Arts manuscript to Jiang Ning a few days ago, and now his disciple had mastered the Saber Technique and condensed Power.

Thinking of these days Jiang Ning’s conduct and the various events of today,

Wang Jin felt more than ever that he had found a treasure.

He had actually received such a disciple who could inherit his mantle and make it flourish.

Then,

Wang Jin said, “Let me feel the Nine Layers of Strength you mastered again.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning placed his palm on Wang Jin’s right arm, a stream of Power through contact between their bodies flowed into Wang Jin’s body.

At that moment, Wang Jin felt the enormous power contained in this Power.

Indeed it was the Nine Layers of Strength!

A surge stirred in Wang Jin’s heart, wildly fluctuating.

After a moment, he settled his spirit, looking at the steadfast-standing Jiang Ning before him, his eyes showing a trace of emotion.

“Master, what’s wrong?” sensing Wang Jin’s emotions, Jiang Ning asked.

Wang Jin shook his head, “Nothing! I’ve told you before that if you mastered Power, I would help you. Come see me tomorrow, I will prepare something for you today.”

“Thank you, Master!” Jiang Ning, delighted, bowed in salute.

Wang Jin then said, “Your strength needs further enhancement. You can’t rely entirely on Building Owner Shen. He broke the rules of the Wanhua Building to help you, and it may not be long before he faces some changes.”

“Once there are changes, the Cao family may also change their minds, especially after today’s confrontation.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning was thoroughly serious. @@novelbin@@

“Disciple understands!”

Wang Jin smiled, “You don’t need to be so serious; it’s just a possibility after all!”

Then he waved his hand towards Jiang Ning, “Alright, you can go now! Go about your business!”

“Yes, Master!” Jiang Ning bowed in salute, ready to leave the backyard.

“Oh yes!” Wang Jin called out again, “You can go home today! With Shen Congyun speaking up, your elder brother and his family should all be released.”

Jiang Ning nodded, exiting from Wang Jin’s backyard.
