Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 79: Chapter 9: Triple the Efficiency of Experience Value Growth

During the moment Jiang Ning was breathing and releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.

On a high-rise building in the distance.

The figure of a man had already appeared.

This person was Shen Congyun, who had extended his help to Jiang Ning the previous day.

He stood atop the high-rise building, quietly looking towards the direction of the Canglang Martial Arts Hall.

Watching the Sun Essence descend upon the small courtyard where Jiang Ning was located.

Shen Congyun nodded with satisfaction.

“This lad has really started to breathe and draw in the Sun Essence. With the guiding method plus the Protective Organ Pill I gave him, I wonder how much his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill can improve in half a year, reaching the next level,” murmured Shen Congyun.

Then, he couldn’t help but smirk.

“I’m probably overthinking it. To move on to the next level of the Inner Elixir Cultivation, one needs to refine the organs to the point where they can be wielded at will!”

“To be able to control the functions of the organs, actively unleashing the body’s hidden abilities, isn’t something that can be achieved so easily.”

“It took me a good three and a half years to reach that level back in the day.”

“Even if this kid has a greater talent in this aspect than me, a stronger intellect, and my assistance, it will still take at least a year.”

On the other side.

In Jiang Ning’s experience, as the Great Sun Essence Qi entered his body, he immediately felt a cool sensation surging within his organs. Under this force, the previous burning sensation in the organs was no more.

And, as he drew upon the guiding method, the originally violent Qi began to become much more subdued.

After a moment.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

Seeing this prompt, a joy rose in Jiang Ning’s heart.

“With the guiding method and the support of the Protective Organ Pill, the efficiency has indeed increased a lot.”

“About three times the previous rate!!”

Afterwards, he seized the moment of the early rising Great Sun to continue practicing the breathing skill, gradually accumulating Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]

[…]

Until the Great Sun rose slowly.

Jiang Ning glanced at the Sun Corona in the courtyard. Only at 7 a.m. did he stop breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi.

[This practice session, a total increase of 39 points in Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience]

For after 7 a.m., the Great Sun would become more terrifying. His current progress in cultivation wasn’t enough to boost the organs to withstand the tempering of the Great Sun Essence Qi after that time.

Only if his cultivation could progress further, breaking through to the mastery level of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, would this become possible.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning opened his panel to take a look.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Beginner 97/1000)

Seeing the change in experience on the panel, there was an additional surge of joy in Jiang Ning’s heart.

“The efficiency has indeed improved by about three times.”

“With today’s rate of efficiency, as long as the weather continues to be sunny every day, and there is a sunrise.”

“Then in about a month, my Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill will break through to the next level.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning became even more exhilarated.

Entering the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill had given him enduring strength.

After reaching mastery, as long as he could perceive his spiritual power, he could control the organs to momentarily unleash the body’s potential.

Body potential is a truly miraculous force.

Like the resurgence of light before death.

Like the astonishing potential unleashed in a life and death situation, achieving tasks normally impossible, surpassing all usual limits.

All these are the hidden potentials within the body.

In Jiang Ning’s view, the adrenaline mentioned in his previous life was one form of this body potential.

If he could make a breakthrough in his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, then he would be able to freely control the outburst of potential.

This would undoubtedly greatly increase his strength, adding a powerful tactic to his combat arsenal.

He anticipated such a potent effect immensely.

…

“Master!”

In the back courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall, Jiang Ning respectfully greeted Wang Jin.

“Whew—”

Wang Jin sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, exhaling a breath of impure energy and slowly opening his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Ning, a smile appeared on his face.

“Did you just practice breathing and drawing in the Sun Essence?” asked Wang Jin.

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded.

“How did it feel?” asked Wang Jin.

Jiang Ning said, “Last night, I went to the Wanhua Building, and Building Owner Shen gave me a Protective Organ Pill; today, it felt very efficient. I can clearly feel that the functions of my organs have been strengthened!”

“Not bad!” Wang Jin showed a smile, then a hint of envy appeared in his eyes: “You lad, you’re doing well on your path. You’ve just started learning Martial Arts and already encountered such a benefactor as Building Owner Shen.”

“Now that you’re already practicing internal cultivation so early, cultivating both internally and externally, your bodily functions will greatly surpass the average person at their peak. Your future achievements are destined to surpass those of your old master.”

Jiang Ning said, “As a disciple who has inherited my master’s legacy, it’s only right that I outshine my master. Otherwise, wouldn’t I bring shame to my master’s name and let others say that my master’s teaching was ineffective?”

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Wang Jin couldn’t help but smile: “You lad! You have a way with words! But, I like what you said, to surpass the master!”

“You’re right. Every teacher hopes to see the day their disciple surpasses them!”

Afterward, Wang Jin got up from his cushion.

“Come with me! I know what you’re here for so early in the morning.”

At his words, Jiang Ning quickly followed.

In his heart, he was filled with anticipation.

Because Wang Jin had said yesterday that he needed to prepare and told me to come find him today.

He would help me.

And before that, Wang Jin had also made a promise to me.

He promised that once I mastered Power, he would help me, help me try to seize the opportunity to join the Inspection Office—a chance to leap over the dragon’s gate.

After yesterday’s incident, my determination only solidified.

That is to join the Inspection Office.

If I could join the Inspection Office and rely on such a big tree for backing, what happened yesterday would not have been possible.

In my view, without power or influence, and without formidable strength that others dare not provoke, naturally, one cannot control their own fate.

Now that I am weak, I need to rely on a big tree to shelter from wind and rain.

To give me enough time to grow.

With enough time, based on my own “panel,” I am confident that I can achieve what the legendary Martial Saint had—invincibility in the world.

Then, naturally, no one can threaten me again.

…

Entering the room of Wang Jin.

We came to a wooden table.

“Open it up and take a look!” Wang Jin said, pointing to two boxes on the table.

“Master, what’s inside?” Jiang Ning asked, a look of confusion on his face, with a vague guess in his heart.

Wang Jin said, “You’ll know once you open them.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to open the two boxes in front of him.

As the first box opened, Jiang Ning’s eyes lit up instantly.

He saw piles of Wild Ginseng inside.

Wang Jin said, “This is the ten-year supply of Wild Ginseng I bought from the Zhou family drugstore yesterday. The Zhou family drugstore is run by your senior brother Zhou Xing. For you right now, a ten-year supply of Wild Ginseng is just the right thing!”

“Thank you, Master!” Jiang Ning bowed.

Wang Jin smiled and continued, “There’s another box.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning had even higher expectations.

One box was full of the nourishing Wild Ginseng that Wang Jin had prepared for me.

With this support from Wang Jin, I wouldn’t have to worry about nourishing medicines for a long while.

This way, I could increase my strength at the fastest pace until I had enough power to protect myself.

Then.

When Jiang Ning opened the second box.

“This is…” Looking at the bottles and jars inside the box, Jiang Ning was puzzled.

Wang Jin said, “These are all Qi Blood Pills. Take one in the morning and one in the evening, then practice your punches to absorb the pill’s efficacy, which will strengthen your Qi Blood Power.”

“Two Qi Blood Pills, depending on individual physical constitutions, have different absorption effects and thus provide varying levels of Qi Blood Power.”

“For you, one Qi Blood Pill can provide about five strands of Qi-Blood, so two should increase your Qi-Blood by about ten strands every day.”

“While it’s not a lot, it’s also not a little.”

“At this rate, in about a month, the Qi-Blood from the pills can lead to an additional surge of power through one arm.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyes brightened.

In about a month, the additional Qi-Blood could result in a surge through one arm.

That meant, if one was a rich man’s son, able to consume Qi Blood Pills daily to condense their Qi-Blood and strengthen their physique,

One month would be enough to achieve a small success of Qi-Blood.

Four months, and you could achieve Great Success.

In one year, you could attain Qi Blood Perfection and power through the entire body.

However, Jiang Ning then silently shook his head.

Such expenditure, ordinary wealthy families couldn’t afford. From what I knew before, one bottle of Qi Blood Pill was about five silver taels.

Two pills a day meant ten silver taels a day, three hundred silver a month, and three thousand silver a year.

Thinking this, Jiang Ning was astounded.

This consumption is really extravagant—almost enough to eat through senior brother Cheng Ran’s entire fortune in a year.

And this is only for Qi Blood Perfection, not yet even entering the realm of Martial Arts.

What about after?

Truly, the poor cultivate literature while the rich cultivate martial arts!

He sighed to himself.

Then Jiang Ning spoke up.

“Master, as I know, a Qi Blood Pill isn’t cheap, is it?”

Wang Jin said, “You don’t need to worry about that! As your teacher, without children or family all these years, I do have some savings. This kind of expenditure is nothing.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt somewhat touched, then spoke earnestly.

“Since Master has neither children nor family, from now on, let your disciple provide for Master’s old age. I will definitely not disappoint you!” Jiang Ning said seriously.

“Good!” Wang Jin, looking at Jiang Ning with a face full of satisfaction, said, “You really are thoughtful!”

…

After leaving the Martial Arts Hall’s backyard and returning to my residence,

I took out a Qi Blood Pill the size of a pigeon egg, full of excitement.

“This one pill is worth several silver taels! Practicing martial arts is truly a costly affair.”

With that sentiment, I placed the Qi Blood Pill in my mouth.

With a slight movement of my throat, @@novelbin@@

The large, mixed-shape Qi Blood Pill fell into my stomach.

Moments later, I felt my Qi-Blood boiling inside, and my body temperature gradually rising.

“Pump it up!”

I was in high spirits, starting to practice my punches right away, increasing my Qi Blood Power.

Physique, after all, is the foundation of strength.
