Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 95: Chapter 23 Vajra Immortal Body

Wanhua Building entrance.

“Hall Master, according to the report from our informants below, Jiang Ning is still inside the Wanhua Building and hasn’t come out yet.”

Xu Yunfeng arrived with several people, and an informant of the Green Gang hurriedly reported to him.

“Good! Well done!” Xu Yunfeng nodded in encouragement.

Then, he took out his identity token and gave it to one of the gang members, “Take my identity token and go ask Deputy Gang Leader Hong Chengtao for help, tell him that I owe him a favor and ask him to help me here. This is also a task from the Third Young Master!”

“Yes, Hall Master!”

...

Hearing about the Third Young Master, the gang member took the token and respectfully responded.

Afterwards, the disciple hurriedly dashed off to find the deputy gang leader to relay the message from Xu Yunfeng.

As the disciple quickly departed, a woman wearing a leopard skin miniskirt and a wraparound top beside Xu Yunfeng frowned.

“Hall Master, it’s just killing Jiang Ning, is it necessary to go to such lengths? Even asking Deputy Gang Leader Hong Chengtao for help?”

“Hong Chengtao has achieved minor success in Refining Skin, and he is a formidable person whose strength exceeds eight hundred jin.”

“It’s somewhat embarrassing to ask him to join us in killing such a young whelp, don’t you think?”

“With our two people helping, it should be enough to kill Jiang Ning! Don’t you think so, Brother Yuan?”

As she said the last line, this woman briefly nudged another man standing beside her.

The one called Brother Yuan, a Hall Master, immediately spoke up: “Little Yu is right! Two deputy hall masters and one hall master, aren’t we enough to kill a Jiang Ning who has only studied martial arts for a bit over a month?”

“Even if he is a genius favored by Shen Congyun, it’s only been a month since he started learning martial arts. How capable could he have become?”

“Little Yu has achieved Mastery in Qi-Blood, possessing strength of four hundred jin. I myself have reached Qi Blood Perfection, surpassing five hundred jin.”

“In addition, Hall Master Xu has achieved small success in Refining Skin and has stepped into the ranks of Martial Arts Nine Grade.”

“The three of us striking together, can Jiang Ning, who has studied martial arts for merely over a month, possibly escape our joint assault?”

Hearing their words, Xu Yunfeng couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“The deputy hall masters do make sense, but the Third Young Master Cao said, ‘A lion still uses all its might to catch a rabbit!'”

“Jiang Ning is highly regarded by Shen Congyun, we can’t guarantee that some accidents won’t occur!”

“Since we are making a move against him, we must give our all to ensure safety! After all, if we fail, we would not just be offending a mere Jiang Ning, but also the influential Shen Congyun!”

“If I could, I would have asked the Gang Leader for help to ensure nothing goes wrong, but since that’s not possible right now, I must still seek the most foolproof method by asking Deputy Gang Leader Hong Chengtao to join us.”

The two deputy hall masters, upon hearing this, found the one called Brother Yuan lightly shaking his head: “Hall Master Xu, you are perhaps being too cautious!”

“I don’t think it’s being cautious, but rather making a mountain out of a molehill!” the deputy hall master called Little Yu immediately added, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Xu Yunfeng simply smiled slightly upon hearing this and said no more, letting the two deputy hall masters vent their frustrations.

In his view, as long as the two cooperated to get this job done, that was all that mattered.

As for the rest, he couldn’t be bothered.

Although he also felt in his heart that just a few of them making a move should have been enough.

However, to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still chose the safest course of action by inviting Deputy Gang Leader Hong Chengtao for help.

With Hong Chengtao, who has achieved small success in Refining Skin and possesses a strength of eight hundred jin, stepping in, true certainty could be achieved.

In his eyes, this task could only succeed, not fail.

It concerned his grand future plans.

Should he succeed, he would gain Cao Bin’s approval to enter the Inspection Office.

From then on, he could defy the odds and take control of his own fate.

Therefore, in Xu Yunfeng’s eyes, being overly cautious was never too much.

Just because this matter was far too important.

Meanwhile,

Seeing Xu Yunfeng fall silent, the two deputy hall masters also said no more.

After all, Xu Yunfeng was a man of the Third Young Master Cao.

They couldn’t disregard Xu Yunfeng’s dignity without considering the Third Young Master Cao’s face.

…

Wanhua Building.

Jiang Ning stepped out of Lin Qingyi’s room and headed to the attic.

Seeing that there was no one around, and that the maid from earlier had already retreated,

he instantly made up his mind.

Right here, he would open the box that Shen Congyun had left him and see what was inside. @@novelbin@@

After all, no place in Luoshui County was safer than here.

The next moment,

He placed the box on a wooden table and then opened the clasp.

Click—

With a crisp sound, the wooden box was opened.

What entered his sight was a secret manual, along with several small jars.

[Vajra Immortal Body]

Picking up the secret manual, Jiang Ning saw these large characters on the book.

“Vajra Immortal Body?” Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Then, he continued to speak to himself, “It seems to match what I had guessed before, the method of Refining Skin that Senior Shen left for me must be no ordinary cultivation technique, or else he wouldn’t have made such a serious arrangement for Lin Qingyi to hand it over to me.”

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

“Senior Shen has really helped me too much!”

Afterward, he began to slowly flip through the [Vajra Immortal Body].

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[…]

As Jiang Ning kept flipping through the pages, his Literacy and Judgement Experience surged rapidly.

Shortly thereafter.

Lin Qingyi pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ning slowly browsing through an ancient, yellowed tome on the balcony of the pagoda.

“This… must be what Shen Congyun left for him,” Lin Qingyi murmured to herself.

She immediately stopped in her tracks, careful not to disturb him.

A moment later.

As Jiang Ning continued to flip through the ancient tome, Lin Qingyi also caught sight of a few characters on the book’s cover.

“Vajra Immortal Body?” Her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise arising in her heart, “Did Shen Congyun actually manage to obtain this ancient tome? Could he have visited the Vajra Temple?”

“No wonder he was so solemn before; it turns out to be this tome! If this is the legendary complete Vajra Immortal Body, it could forge the immortal golden body of legend!”

“However, this must not be the complete Vajra Immortal Body!”

“After all, the truly complete Vajra Immortal Body, as far as I know, exists only in the Vajra Temple. With Shen Congyun’s capabilities, how could he possibly obtain the complete Vajra Immortal Body from the Vajra Temple.”

“Vajra Temple, that’s a place with Grandmasters, or even higher existences!”

Realizing this, Lin Qingyi shook her head.

On the other side.

Jiang Ning kept on turning pages, and found that during this process, his Literacy and Judgement Experience was increasing very rapidly.

A moment later.

He finished browsing.

[After browsing Vajra Immortal Body, Literacy and Judgement Experience increased by a total of 438 points.]

Seeing this prompt, Jiang Ning was momentarily taken aback.

“So much? 438 experience points?”

He hurriedly opened the panel again for another look.

[Skill]: Literacy and Judgement (Second Limit Breaking 543/3000) (Traits: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

“It really increased by 438 points of experience?” Jiang Ning muttered to himself, feeling utterly astonished.

He looked again at the ancient tome named [Vajra Immortal Body] he was holding in his hands.

“Just a fragment, and yet just by reading it, it increased my Literacy and Judgement by so much. What grade is this Vajra Immortal Body?”

At this moment, Jiang Ning was incredibly surprised.

From his recent browsing, according to the introduction of the ancient tome, he came to know that this tome named [Vajra Immortal Body] has a tremendous origin.

Even claimed to be one of the origins of Martial Arts.

According to the records, if one could cultivate Vajra Immortal Body to true Perfection, then one could condense the so-called immortal golden body.

Owning the immortal golden body, it is claimed to be impervious to swords and spears, immune to water and fire, and untouched by myriad laws.

Even in Ancient Times, those who practiced this cultivation technique, even with mortal bodies, qualified to contend against Immortals.

Moreover, it is claimed to make one unbeatable within the same realm of Innate.

Such statements naturally show the strength of this Vajra Immortal Body.

But after reading, Jiang Ning also knew that the Vajra Immortal Body he had was just a fragment.

A fragment that could be cultivated to small success.

Although it is just a fragment of small success, its effect is also sufficient.

Vajra Immortal Body’s small success, enough to let him achieve Refining Skin Mastery, skin as hard as bronze.

Thus, he could step into Martial Arts Eighth Grade of Divine Power Realm.

Moreover, according to this Vajra Immortal Body, the skin membrane refined out of it is, on average, thirty to fifty percent stronger than those refined from other similar cultivation techniques.

This shows how strong Vajra Immortal Body really is.

“I wonder what grade exactly is this martial arts cultivation technique, Vajra Immortal Body?” Jiang Ning thought to himself.

On the other side.

Seeing Jiang Ning come back to his senses, Lin Qingyi walked over.

“Sister Lin!” Noticing the movement, Jiang Ning immediately greeted her.

“This is what Shen Congyun left for you?” Lin Qingyi pointed towards the ancient tome in Jiang Ning’s hand.

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded and then added, “This golden body is indeed a generous gift!”

“That’s expected!” Lin Qingyi said, “The complete Vajra Immortal Body is the flagship martial arts technique of the Vajra Temple, one of Great Xia’s top sects.”

“So that’s it!” Jiang Ning realized, then shook his head and exclaimed, “What a pity! What Senior Shen left was just a fragment, which can only allow me to refine a skin like bronze, achieving just small success.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingyi felt relieved.

Then she smiled slightl
