Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 550 Source Energy Exceeds 100,000, Breaking the Record!

Two days later.

Water Moon Sword Palace.

[Source Energy]: 101333
Looking at his own panel, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up with joy.

The number of energy points has exceeded 100,000 for the first time.

This only accounts for a portion of the resources seized from the Five Swords Sect.

There are still many things that haven't been dealt with yet.

The resources he is currently absorbing are only a portion of the foundation accumulated by the Five Swords Sect over the years.

If he digests it all and replaces it with rare and precious natural materials for him to absorb, his source energy points can jump to a higher level.

“That’s enough for now!” Jiang Ning murmured, then got up and pushed open the door.

At this moment, the sky above the palace displayed the unusual phenomenon of the sun and moon appearing together.

Before the moon had completely set, the warm sun had already risen.

At that moment, golden sunlight shone down on him.

He turned his gaze back to the main hall in the distance.

That's the direction where the statue of the goddess is enshrined.

"Wang Qingtan hasn't arrived yet, and we don't know where he is?"

After learning that the goddess statue contained a chance for inheritance, he immediately notified Wang Qingtan.

Several days have passed now, and he still hasn't seen Wang Qingtan.

He shook his head inwardly, walked to the open space and began to circulate his qi and blood to temper his skin.

Behind him, a gust of wind swept through the room, causing the half-closed door to suddenly open.

The interior decorations and furnishings clearly depict a woman's boudoir.

Clearly, the room had previously belonged to a woman.

Just then, Xiao Emei, dressed in a white dress, walked in from outside and came to the courtyard where Jiang Ning was.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was practicing martial arts, she immediately slowed her pace.

Then, looking at the wide-open door in front of her, she felt a sense of helplessness.

Who would have thought.

He, the master of the Water Moon Sword Palace, would be kicked out of his room and would have to sleep in a guest room outside temporarily.

His own palace, which had been the palace of the Sword Palace Master for many years, was now occupied by Jiang Ning, who had usurped his place.

This resulted in Jiang Ning being the only person living in the vast palace.

When the notification flashed by, Jiang Ning stopped what he was doing and looked away.

"What brings you here so early?"

"I'm bringing you the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal, sir!" Xiao Emei said, taking out a small cloth bag from her bosom.

A red light suddenly burst forth through the gaps in the cloth bag; it was the red light emitted by the Crimson Blood Crystal in its natural state.

As a type of mineral, Crimson Blood Crystal is extremely stable under normal circumstances.

"How many?" Jiang Ning asked, taking the pills with him.

"Ten in total!" Xiao Emei said.

"Ten, so even if you pay another thousand taels of gold, you'll still have eight thousand six hundred taels of gold left, right?" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this number, Xiao Emei felt suffocated and powerless.

It seems that Shuiyue Sword Palace is owing Jiangning more and more money.

But she also knew that this sacrifice was well worth it.

Because now the Water Moon Sword Palace is encroaching on the Five Swords Sect's territory.

Only after consuming two portions will one portion need to be paid to Jiang Ning.

Shuiyue Sword Palace doesn't do this kind of business; many other sects would be eager to do it.

However, this has also led to the complete depletion of Shuiyue Sword Palace's cash flow, and the cultivation resources for its disciples can no longer be distributed.

"Alright, you may leave!" Jiang Ning waved his hand.

"Yes!" Xiao Emei replied, turning and leaving what was originally her own palace.

After glancing at Xiao Emei's departing figure, Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the cloth bag containing the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal in his hand.

Based on his previous experiment, the Crimson Blood Crystal worked very well for him.

The improvement in energy points has reached a moderate level.

It is also highly practical.

Refining the Crimson Flame Blood Crystal can strengthen his blood and replenish the energy he loses during blood transfusions.

Both of these effects are extremely useful to him.

Strengthening one's Qi and blood enhances the foundation of martial arts, which benefits all aspects of the martial arts path.

Blood transfusion will be easier, and the efficiency of gaining experience points for the Vajra Indestructible Body will also increase.

Furthermore, Crimson Blood Crystal is a type of mineral, and there is currently a considerable stock available.

It's easy to buy if you have the money.

Unlike other rare and precious materials, which may not be available even if you have the money, this is not something you can buy.

This is also why he had Xiao Emei exchange the tribute money for Crimson Flame Blood Crystals.

He then did a quick inventory.

Ten Crimson Blood Crystals, not one more, not one less.

He happily pocketed it.

Then he glanced at the panel and continued practicing.

He will not leave the Water Moon Sword Palace until Wang Qingtan arrives.

After all, the goddess statue contains a destiny.

Since he couldn't obtain that opportunity, he could only try to give it to the most suitable and closest person.

The goddess statue is located in the palace hall of the palace master.

That's why he drove Xiao Emei away and moved in himself.

afternoon.

"Miss Wang, please!!" A female disciple led the way.

Wang Qingtan looked around at the layout and scenery of the Water Moon Sword Palace.

After a while.

"Miss Wang, the residence of Inspector Jiang is just ahead!" the female disciple said as she approached the palace of the past palace masters.

Wang Qingtan glanced ahead, her gorgeous long dress shimmering brilliantly in the afternoon sunlight, like a phoenix bathed in flames.

"Is this your palace master's bedroom?" she asked calmly.

“That was originally true!” the female disciple said strangely, and continued, “But two days ago, Inspector Jiang kicked my Palace Master out, and he's been living here all by himself!”

"Your palace master has been kicked out?" Wang Qingtan's face showed surprise.

"Yes!" the female disciple nodded.

"Doesn't he sleep with your palace master?" Wang Qingtan asked with a playful expression.

Upon hearing this, the female disciple glanced at Wang Qingtan, then shook her head: "Miss Wang, I dare not discuss this matter!"

"Alright!" Wang Qingtan nodded and continued, "You stay here! I'm going in!"

In the courtyard.

Jiang Ning was wearing only a thin shirt, which was soaked with sweat and clung to his body.

Sweat dripped onto the ground and was quickly evaporated by the high temperature.

In front of him, a woman in a gorgeous long dress stood gracefully, quietly watching Jiang Ning practice his martial arts.

After a while.

Jiang Ning stopped what he was doing.

"Here, wipe it off!" Wang Qingtan took out a handkerchief.

Jiang Ning: "."

"What's wrong?" Wang Qingtan asked, seeing the speechless expression on Jiang Ning's face.

"With me like this, what good is your little handkerchief?" Jiang Ning shook his head, and the sweat that had gathered at the tips of his hair splashed out, with a few drops landing on Wang Qingtan's long skirt.

"Tch!" Wang Qingtan pouted unintentionally, then took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the sweat off Jiang Ning's face.

She then smiled gently: "I've heard that men are very susceptible to this kind of thing from women, is that true?"

Jiang Ning looked down at Wang Qingtan's posture. Up close, he could see the fine downy hairs at the corners of Wang Qingtan's mouth.

“Yes!” he nodded.

"I feel that men have very few needs; all they want from women is someone who treats them well!" Wang Qingtan said casually.

“Not entirely!” Jiang Ning smiled.

“I feel like you are!” Wang Qingtan said, looking at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled and touched his nose.

"By the way, what about that old woman?" Wang Qingtan asked.

"What old woman?" Jiang Ning was taken aback.

“Xiao Emei!” Wang Qingtan said matter-of-factly. Jiang Ning: “.”

He was speechless for a moment.

"What, do you think there's a problem with what I said?" Wang Qingtan asked, then continued, "I'm a nineteen-year-old girl, and I'm calling Xiao Emei, who's twenty-five or twenty-six, an old woman. Is there a problem with that?"

"No problem!" Jiang Ning smiled helplessly.

"Judging from your expression, are you interested in that old woman?" Wang Qingtan leaned closer and sniffed Jiang Ning like a puppy.

Then she wrinkled her nose and said, "It all smells like sweat, not like that old woman."

"You can smell that too?" Jiang Ning laughed.

“Of course!” Wang Qingtan nodded matter-of-factly. “I have a very sensitive nose. I can tell just by smelling it that you definitely haven’t slept with that old woman! And you probably haven’t slept in her bed either.”

As she finished speaking, Wang Qingtan's gaze swept past Jiang Ning and turned to the open room behind her.

She could see the layout of the woman's private room.

Then she said, "But actually it's okay if you sleep with her. I know that for someone like you, it's impossible to be with only one person for life!"

"Besides, I might not be able to stay with you for a lifetime!"

As she finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed in Wang Qingtan's eyes.

These days, her symptoms have worsened further.

"What do you mean by 'can't be with me'?" Jiang Ning asked, supporting her thin shoulders.

Wang Qingtan shook her head, then changed the subject: "Do you think human consciousness is dominated by memory or by the soul?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.

He immediately understood why Wang Qingtan had asked that question.

Because he also knew Wang Qingtan's identity; she was not an ordinary person, but the reincarnation of the Phoenix Goddess.

He had previously consulted records about ancient gods.

Among the ancient gods, the Phoenix Goddess was a true deity.

To wield power and rule over all fires under heaven.

The fact that Wang Qingtan is raising this question now clearly indicates a problem with her memory.

He couldn't help but think of himself again.

Two lifetimes, two lifetimes of memories.

He had similar questions before.

But later, through the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit method, I learned about the True Spirit and realized that I am who I am.

Whether in past or present life, it is highly likely that he is himself.

The true spirit has been reincarnated, living two lives and awakening its innate wisdom.

This may be the truth that he was once confused about.

Clearly, Wang Qingtan has now most likely awakened her innate wisdom, or is in the process of awakening it.

Upon realizing this, he immediately understood why Wang Qingtan was so wealthy.

Perhaps it was a treasure left behind by her in a previous life.

"It must be the awakening of the Phoenix Celestial Maiden's memories!" Jiang Ning uttered the words that posed the question in Wang Qingtan's mind.

"How did you know?!" Wang Qingtan's body trembled, and she looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

"Are you one too?" Wang Qingtan's red lips parted slightly.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "My situation is different from yours."

Wang Qingtan nodded immediately upon seeing Jiang Ning's expression.

Then she continued, "So, do you think I'll still be me?"

“There’s an experiment that’s very simple to test!” Jiang Ning said.

"What experiment?" Wang Qingtan asked, looking puzzled.

"Listen to me tonight, do whatever I tell you to do!" Jiang Ning said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingtan seemed to realize something, and her face flushed slightly.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

That night.

The candlelight reflected in the water.

The shop window reflected the silhouettes of a man and a woman.

Wang Qingtan knelt on the ground in humiliation.

Until late at night.

"Did you get the results from the test?"

"Of course!"

"what's the result?"

You are still you!

"Why?"

"Because if it were the memory of that great god that was in charge, he would not have suffered such humiliation."

"That's true! And then what?"

"Then let's continue!!"

The next day.

The bright moon hangs high.

Jiang Ning led Wang Qingtan to the main hall.

Under the moonlight, the goddess statue emitted a faint halo.

Enveloped in a halo of light, the goddess statue suddenly appeared holy and ethereal, as if it had awakened under the moonlight.

"Is this the Moon Goddess you were talking about?" Wang Qingtan asked calmly, standing in front of the goddess statue.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"What should I do now?" Wang Qingtan asked.

"Just wait quietly!" Jiang Ning said.

Subsequently.

He brought his right index and middle fingers together and smeared them towards his brow.

In an instant.

A vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, and a radiant glow, like smoke and clouds, instantly emanated from the line.

"Is this the Heavenly Eye?"

Wang Qingtan looked curiously at the white vertical line between Jiang Ning's eyebrows.

Then she asked, "Can I touch it?"

“Okay!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"Strange, it feels no different from before!" she said.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Jiang Ning slapped down Wang Qingtan's fidgeting fingers, then his gaze returned to the goddess statue.

Under the observation of his clairvoyant eye, he could see the constantly flowing energy within the goddess statue.

next moment.

He urged it to be released with all his might.

The third eye between the eyebrows slowly opened.

In an instant.

The white light shot out like a sharp arrow, piercing through the void.

At that moment, Wang Qingtan felt an immense, invisible terror descend upon her, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt a shift in time and space, as if the world had turned upside down.

When his consciousness returned, he once again found himself by the tranquil lake bathed in moonlight.

The lake water rippled with countless silvery scales, shattering the full moon's reflection in the lake.

On the shore, a woman with an exquisitely beautiful back stood quietly by the lake.

The white dress was as white as snow, seamless, and the moonlight flowed like water across it.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the woman's long, dark hair, which cascaded down to her hips, fluttered like a black ribbon, reflecting a dark sheen in the moonlight.

The white dress was lifted by the breeze at that moment, revealing a small section of her jade-like calves.

Upon seeing the woman's back again, Jiang Ning couldn't help but hold his breath.

"You're here again?" The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like a flowing spring.

She then slowly turned around, revealing half of her profile and delicate nose.

"Yes, I've arrived!" Jiang Ning continued, "I wonder if your previous words still hold true?"

"It counts, but the girl you brought won't!" the woman said calmly, continuing, "That girl contains a very familiar aura; she's even less likely to accept my inheritance than you are!"

"I understand!" Jiang Ning sighed.

Even though I was already prepared, I still felt regret.

If Wang Qingtan is not suitable, then he will have to send someone else.
