Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

In the courtyard.

Jiang Ning looked at the old woman named Hou Yingying in front of him and felt a little surprised.

He could feel the fear showing on Hou Yingying.

This fear came from him.

"Did she see something?" the thought flashed through his mind.

"Elder Hou, Palace Master Xiao, please sit down and talk first!" Jiang Ning then suppressed the doubts in his heart and invited the two to sit down.

Lu Yi, who was standing by, also went into the house to make preparations.

After a while.

The three of them sat down in the pavilion.

The weather was hot in the morning.

But Dongling City originally belongs to one side of the Dongling Mountains, with the continuous Dongling Mountains behind it.

The backyard is full of greenery, and the lake in the middle occupies 70% to 80% of the area, resulting in a temperature much lower than that in Guangning City.

Especially the heavy rain in the past two days has caused the temperature to drop significantly.

Now a breeze blew across the lake, the sweat evaporated, and Jiang Ning suddenly felt a cool breeze.

at the same time.

When Xiao Emei heard the voice of the great elder Hou Yingying, her heart was filled with shock.

She thought back to the news she had heard before.

The two top-level secret skills of Shuiyue Sword Palace.

The Jade Wave Sword Sutra and the Desire-Slaying Heart Sutra appeared at the summer auction of Wanhua Tower in Guangning City.

This matter has not yet reached the ears of the disciples of the Sword Palace, so it has not caused any major turmoil.

If this news spreads, the disciples of Shuiyue Sword Palace will surely become uneasy and the situation will become even worse.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she felt that the possibility of her previous guess suddenly increased greatly.

When Xiao Qiu Shui got into trouble, Jiang Ning was present that day.

The Jade Wave Sword Sutra and the Desire-Slaying Heart Sutra appeared in Guangning City, and some time ago, Jiang Ning also went to Guangning City to take part in the provincial martial arts examination.

Now, from the secret message from the great elder Hou Yingying, she learned that Jiang Ning might have already entered the state of a great master.

And from what Hou Yingying expressed, Jiang Ning felt even more oppressive than the mysterious young master at the city gate just now.

From this she also knew that if the feeling of the Great Elder Hou Yingying was correct.

Then her previous guess is very likely.

Then, she recalled the scene when she first met Jiang Ning and fell into his hands.

Just as all kinds of thoughts flashed through Xiao Emei's mind.

Jiang Ning got straight to the point and asked, "Have you two come here to make a decision?"

Hear the words.

Xiao Emei immediately came back to her senses and looked at Jiang Ning.

next moment.

She immediately stood up from the stone bench and knelt on one knee.

"Sir, please help save Shuiyue Sword Palace! If you help, Shuiyue Sword Palace will obey you from now on and follow your lead!!"

Seeing Xiao Emei so decisive, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Hou Yingying, who was standing behind him, saw the choice made by her Palace Master at this moment. She hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on one knee.

"Please help me, sir!"

"If you want me to take action, you need half of Shuiyue Sword Palace's current wealth. In the next ten years, half of Shuiyue Sword Palace's income will be tribute to me!" Jiang Ning said.

Hear the words.

Xiao Emei and Hou Yingying fell silent.

The Shuiyue Sword Palace is a wealthy and powerful family, and every disciple who embarks on the path of martial arts can be said to be a gold-making weapon.

This resulted in huge expenses for the Shuiyue Sword Palace, leaving little surplus each year.

This was before Xiao Qiu Shui was there, and the Shuiyue Sword Palace was on the rise.

But now it’s different.

The Five Sword Sect is powerful and has always had friction with the Water Moon Sword Palace.

Before, with Xiao Qiu Shui around, who could become a third-grade master at any time, the Five Swords Sect didn't dare to do anything too extreme.

Now that Xiao Qiu Shui is dead, Shuiyue Sword Palace is leaderless.

Although Xiao Emei was able to ascend to the throne based on Xiao Qiu Shui's will and the strong support of the great elder Hou Yingying, she did not have the same prestige as Xiao Qiu Shui.

And there are many people in the Sword Palace who are dissatisfied.

With people's hearts divided and their support lost, the Five Swords Sect joined the Yingtian Alliance and united with all the top sects in the county, claiming to advance and retreat together.

Under such circumstances, Shuiyue Sword Palace suffered defeat after defeat and many of its industries were taken over.

Ninety percent of the fertile land under its control fell into the hands of the Five Swords Sect.

It can be said that the current situation of Shuiyue Sword Palace is precarious, and the wealth is not enough to cover the expenditure.

In this case, they would have to hand over half of the sect's wealth accumulated over the years, and pay tribute to half of the sect's income over the next ten years.

Such conditions are extremely harsh.

Even with the help of Jiangning and the Inspection Office, the crisis was resolved.

However, the 50% tribute in the next ten years would be enough to make the situation in Shuiyue Sword Palace worse.

Without the support of wealth, the disciples below will become disunited.

Seeing Xiao Emei and Hou Yingying in silence for a long time, Jiang Ning was not in a hurry.

He picked up the herbal tea and drank it cup by cup.

The previous exercise made his mouth a little dry.

"I accept!!" Xiao Emei suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Ning with a firm gaze.

"Have you made up your mind?" Jiang Ning stood up and asked, then his eyes swept across Xiao Emei and fell on the great elder of the Shuiyue Sword Palace, Hou Yingying, behind her.

"Don't you want to ask Elder Hou for his opinion?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"I am the Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace!" Xiao Emei said seriously.

"The Palace Master's meaning is my meaning!" Hou Yingying behind him spoke immediately.

Hou Yingying's name is seriously inconsistent with her current appearance.

But Jiang Ning knew that everyone has a young time.

The Grand Elder of Shuiyue Sword Palace is just old now.

Beauty fades and youth passes away, it's just like that.

His eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, then he nodded slowly.

"Since you agree, I will take action!"

"Sir, what do you need us to do?" Xiao Emei asked.

"You don't need to do anything! Just wait for me for a while!" Jiang Ning said.

After four blood transfusions, all previously stored resources were exhausted.

He also had plans to take action.

Now that Shuiyue Sword Palace has arrived, it just gives him a breakthrough.

After a while.

Jiang Ning sent the two of them away.

Now is not the time for him to take action.

Firstly, he needs a few days to recover from the previous damage to his body, and at the same time his strength can be improved.

The inner alchemy health-preserving exercises will lead to a breakthrough in these few days.

A method of internal strengthening that surpasses the best martial arts, which will surely allow him to further improve his strength after the breakthrough.

the other side.

Xiao Emei and Hou Yingying walked out of Jiang Ning's mansion and came to the wide road outside.

"Great Elder, is he really as strong as you said?" Xiao Emei looked in the direction of Jiang Ning and asked.

"I believe in my feelings. My feelings in this regard have never been wrong!" said Hou Yingying.

"Great Elder, you said that the young man at the city gate gave you a greater sense of oppression than the former Palace Master. This shows that the strength of the young man outside the city just now is even stronger than that of the former Palace Master. And you said that Jiang Ning gave you a stronger sense of oppression than the young man at the city gate!!" Having said this, Xiao Emei paused.

Then he asked back: "Then what do you think Jiang Ning is like now?"

"I don't know!" Hou Yingying, with an old face, shook her head slowly.

at this time.

Xiao Emei recalled the first night she met Jiang Ning.

He recalled how he had been controlled by Jiang Ning before.

Thinking about my initial guess about Jiang Ning.

As various thoughts flashed through her mind, she looked in the direction of Jiang Ning, silent.

"Let's go back to the Sword Palace tomorrow!" Xiao Emei said after a long time.

"As the Palace Master orders!" Hou Yingying replied.

Inspection House.

Zhao Yulong looked at the information in his hand with a frown on his face.

Immediately, he looked at the person who came to report.

"Is there a portrait of that person? Has anyone had contact with him?"

"Palace Master, the portrait will be delivered later, but no one has come into contact with him for the time being. Judging from his demeanor, he is not an ordinary person. Perhaps he is a disciple from a top sect who has come here."

"Let's wait until the portrait arrives. If there is a chance, I will go and contact him!" Zhao Yulong said. "Yes, Lord!" the man said respectfully.

Then there was a brief silence in the room.

"Is it because of that rain?" Zhao Yulong was not calm at the moment.

He witnessed with his own eyes the heavy rain that lasted for half a day and a night two days ago.

He even saw the golden light that penetrated heaven and earth.

The golden light went straight into the sky, followed by a surge of wind, clouds, lightning and thunder.

In an environment where it was impossible for it to rain, a heavy rain fell, surprising countless people.

This heavy rain also greatly alleviated the drought around Dongling City.

The area around Dongling County is located on one side of the Dongling Mountains, with many mountains, rivers and abundant vegetation.

The impact of the drought was not that severe.

With the heavy rain, the drought was largely alleviated.

But he also knew that the sudden arrival of heavy rain would alleviate the drought.

It was not God's will, but a mysterious being used his supernatural powers to bring about this heavy rain, alleviating the drought around Dongling City.

It has been two days since this incident, but he still has no idea what kind of existence did it.

In his opinion, only a top ancient practitioner could use great supernatural powers to summon a torrential rain that lasted for half a day and a night.

The heavy rain in Guangning City some time ago was obviously not as strong as the heavy rain in Dongling County.

He also knew about the heavy rain in Guangning City.

That was part of the conditions that Shen Wenyuan agreed to under the Huangtian Sect. He invited a Heavenly King to pray for a heavy rain that could temporarily alleviate the drought.

After a while.

A portrait was handed to Zhao Yulong.

Looking at the portrait of a young man carrying a huge sword, Zhao Yulong thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head.

"There is no matching information. It seems that this mysterious strong man is not a well-known strong man in the surrounding counties."

Subsequently.

Zhao Yulong raised his head: "Do you have any clues or information about his current location?"

"Yes, Lord! He is now in the southern area west of the city!"

"Take me there!" Zhao Yulong stood up and said.

the other side.

East courtyard.

It was noon.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had already begun breathing in the sun's essence while facing the sun above his head.

With his breathing.

Rays of light fell from the sky and entered his internal organs.

The pure sun energy exploded in his body, as if it had transformed into true sun fire that was burning his internal organs.

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

【.】

As he continued to refine the essence of the sun, his experience points in the inner alchemy health-preserving exercises also continued to increase.

Xicheng District.

South of the city.

The young man looked up at the sky.

Watching the red clouds falling down and disappearing in Dongcheng District.

“Breathing in such pure energy of the sun, it seems there are capable people in Dongling City!” The young man carrying a giant sword on his back sneered.

I stopped paying attention to this matter.

He has met many practitioners of ancient paths.

Inhaling clouds and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon was not surprising to him. He had seen it too many times.

Although the man from Dongcheng District could draw upon the essence of the sun and clearly possessed a strong immortal root, it was not enough for him to make a special trip over there to find out what was going on.

He did not forget his mission in coming to Dongling City.

Subsequently.

He entered Wanhua Building, spent a certain amount of gold and silver, and obtained the intelligence of the previous two days.

Wanhua Building also engages in the business of selling intelligence.

Shortly after he walked out of Wanhua Building, he ran into Zhao Yulong who was coming towards him.

the other side.

Jiang Ning immersed himself wholeheartedly in refining the essence of the sun.

No attention was paid to what was happening outside.

Late noon.

He opened his eyes and exhaled fire.

[Skills]: Inner Dan Health Preservation Exercise (Perfect 9188/10000)
After glancing at the panel, he immediately closed it.

The experience points accumulated from the Inner Alchemy Health Preserving Exercise have reached nearly 9,200 points, and it is not far from the 10,000 experience points required for a breakthrough.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry, and he knew that there was no time to rush.

It would take a few days to earn the last few hundred experience points.

It would also take some time for his weak body to recover.

The subordinates in the Inspector General's Office also need time to improve their strength.

This is also the reason why he did not choose to immediately help Shuiyue Sword Palace and take action against the Five Swords Sect.

Both he and his subordinates need time to settle down.

Now that his physical condition is not good, he dare not rashly let the water and fire true energy break the limit, for fear of causing accidents.

afternoon.

Looking at the information handed over by the person from the Inspection Office, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly became serious.

In the morning, Zhao Yulong went to meet a visitor from outside, a powerful man with a mysterious identity.

Combined with the information recorded in the intelligence and the information revealed by Zhao Yulong.

He already understood that the heavy rain two days ago had attracted the mysterious visitor.

A visitor from the outside world, whose identity and temperament are extremely mysterious.

"A blessed land." Looking at the information revealed by the intelligence in his hand, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with surprise.

According to the intelligence, Zhao Yulong speculated on the origin of the mysterious visitor. He believed that the strong man who came from the blessed land was a descendant of ancient cultivators.

this moment.

He also couldn't help but think of Xia Wanqin whom he met at Wanhua Tower in Guangning City, and the two fox female masters who appeared at the auction at that time.

He also remembered that he had seen records about the paradise in a book.

The blessed land is a small world opened up by the top powerful men in ancient times with supreme supernatural powers. It is a small world with its own system.

He originally thought that the paradise recorded in the book had long disappeared in the tide of history with the passage of time.

But the appearance of the mysterious visitor obviously told him a fact.

The blessed land still exists, and relying on the special environment of the blessed land, there are still cultivators of the ancient lineage in this world.

“No wonder the Huangtian Sect has twelve Heavenly Kings and so many great cultivators from the ancient lineage!”

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately realized that the previous rumors were probably true.

Taoist Huang Tian controls a complete cave world.

And the ancient cultivator who came here because of him was most likely from the blessed land.

Also included is Xia Wanqin.

"If this is true, then the water in this world is too deep!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself, his heart heavy.

This discovery made him feel that his current strength seemed to be completely insignificant.

The existence of this blessed land has a nearly perfect ancient heritage and is supported by an independent cave world.

What a powerful force that is?

According to normal logic, facing such an existence is tantamount to being attacked by dimensionality reduction.

"wrong!!"

He then shook his head again.

"According to the records, the Martial Saint suppressed the world and was said to have killed immortals and gods."

"And based on what the Martial Saint did at the beginning, he must have faced off against the so-called powerful beings in the blessed land, but those beings were obviously unable to withstand the power of the Martial Saint. This allowed Daxia to complete its founding and rule the world."

"Even though the Martial Saint is getting old now, the strong men in the blessed land are like rats and only dare to secretly destroy the foundation of Daxia!"

"From this, it can be seen that their strength is obviously not that strong!"

The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the clearer his mind became.

The heart gradually becomes like a mirror.

“Don’t underestimate them, but don’t overestimate them either!!”

Then he said secretly in his heart.

Then his eyes gradually became firm, and he had made a decision in his heart.

That is to test and see how strong the strong man who may come from the blessed land is. (End of this chapter)
