Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 555 Special Feature: The Wind Whisperer!
The sun was high in the sky in the afternoon.

The sky was cloudless and the heat was intense.

Jiang Ning walked through the mountains and fields, moving without wind, his speed as fast as a blur.

【Skill】：Wind and Thunder Step (Six times breaking the limit 4764/7000) (Characteristics: Breath of the Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing the Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of the Wind, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Wind Whisperer)
【Wind Whisperer】: Listen attentively to the whispers of the wind and become one with it.

Seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning kept his feet on the ground and felt even more motivated.

The breakthrough he just made allowed him to comprehend the essence of wind.

This shows that his choice of the Wind and Thunder Step technique was a very correct one.

As long as he continues to accumulate experience points in the Wind and Thunder Steps and pushes the limits of this skill, he will be able to master the key to six blood transfusions, allowing his physical body to undergo a further transformation.

now.

As he continued to use the Wind and Thunder Step to travel, a prompt would occasionally appear before his eyes.

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience Points +1]

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience Points +1]

[Wind and Thunder Step Experience Points +1]

【.】

Each improvement signifies that he is one step closer to breaking through the limit seven times.

His current accumulation is more than enough to support him in breaking through the limits of the Wind and Thunder Step multiple times.

All he lacks to meet the requirements for the sixth blood transfusion is the accumulation of experience points.

The next day, evening.

Outside Dongling City, the evening glow filled the sky.

Ten Mile Pavilion.

A place for merchants to stay.

Jiang Ning, weary from his journey, stopped and arrived at Shili Pavilion, a resting place for traveling merchants.

After traveling for a day and a night, even he felt a little tired.

"Waiter, bring two pots of iced tea, and a pound of dried beef!" Jiang Ning said, sitting in an open-air tea stall.

"Please wait a moment, sir, it'll be served shortly!" the waiter called out, a towel slung over his shoulder, before turning and walking toward the tea stall.

After a while.

Two pots of herbal tea and a large plate of beef jerky were placed in front of Jiang Ning.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir!" the waiter at the tea stall said.

Jiang Ning nodded and casually tossed out a piece of broken silver.

"Consider the extra as a reward!"

"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, sir!!" The waiter at the tea stall immediately bowed and thanked Jiang Ning repeatedly.

Based on his years of experience, he could tell from a casual weighing of the loose silver that it was worth at least an ounce.

In comparison, a pound of dried beef and two pots of herbal tea cost only a little over two hundred copper coins, and that's only because prices have risen considerably in recent years.

In previous years, a pound of beef jerky would have cost no more than 100 coins.

The silver ingot in his hand was equivalent to more than half a month's income for the teahouse. How could he not be excited?

After thanking him, he took two steps, slightly away from Jiang Ning's location, and then placed the loose silver in his hand on his gums and bit down hard.

After confirming the quality of the silver fragments in his hand, he was overjoyed.

aside.

Jiang Ning poured himself a bowl of herbal tea, then grabbed a piece of dried beef jerky that looked like firewood and put it in his mouth.

The beef jerky is very firm and chewy.

He had no complaints about this.

In this day and age, meat must either be cured raw or air-dried, otherwise it is impossible to preserve.

Raw curing requires a lot of coarse salt.

Salt is an expensive necessity, and few ordinary families can afford such a luxury.

Therefore, to preserve meat, the primary method is air drying.

The drier it is, the longer it can be stored.

Consequently, the harder it is to chew.

But for Jiang Ning, although dried meat was like firewood, his teeth were now strong enough to eat metal, let alone dried meat.

After a few chews, the jerky in his mouth was crushed into crumbs.

Just then, a shadow pounced from the side.

Jiang Ning turned his head and took a closer look.

A woman whose clothes were faded from washing rushed over.

"Young master, could you give me some food? I'll sleep with you for one night!" the woman pleaded.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning could clearly hear the woman's empty stomach rumbling with hunger.

"This gentleman, her name is Qing'er. She is a pitiful person. She encountered the calamity of war in her early years and survived. She was left all alone in this world."

An elderly man, around sixty years old, came over with a plate of dried fruit. He placed the plate on Jiang Ning's table and then, feeling somewhat reluctant, offered an explanation.

He could tell that Jiang Ning was either rich or noble and had no shortage of material possessions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so generously tossed out a silver ingot just now to buy only a pound of beef jerky and two pots of herbal tea.

He also understood that Qing'er would beg for food from Jiang Ning because Jiang Ning was generous.

Living in the marketplace, how could one not be aware of such things?

Upon hearing the old man's words, Jiang Ning glanced at the woman named Qing'er again.

"Uncle, give her some food to fill her stomach, and I'll cover it!"

"Sir, you are truly a kind-hearted person!" the old man exclaimed.

He then turned and walked toward his tea stall.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!!" The woman named Qing'er thanked Jiang Ning repeatedly.

Jiang Ning waved his hand, said no more, and began to enjoy the dried meat and herbal tea in front of him, as well as the plate of dried fruit that the old man had just brought him.

After a while.

The old man came over again.

He carried a pot of hot tea in one hand and a plate with a few hard, dry steamed buns on it in the other.

"Girl, just eat this!" The old man placed the hot tea and steamed buns in front of Qing'er.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, young master!" Qing'er said.

"Sigh! Eat up! It's rare to meet such a kind person!" the old man sighed, glancing at Jiang Ning.

The woman immediately began chewing and swallowing the steamed bun in her hand with hot tea, looking quite hungry.

"Uncle, take this!" Jiang Ning took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the table.

"Sir, you've already paid! That one ingot of silver is worth enough to order several more servings of food on the table!" the old man said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

Without forcing him, he put the broken silver ingot he had taken out back in front of him.

After a while.

After consuming half a pound of beef jerky, the woman had already finished all the steamed buns in front of her.

"Thank you, young master!" The woman wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and thanked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more.

"Don't worry, young master, I'll sleep with you for one night!" said the woman named Qing'er.

at this time.

The old man watching from the side suddenly looked hesitant to speak.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but look over there.

It seemed that this gaze made the old man make up his mind.

He walked over and whispered in Jiang Ning's ear.

"Sir, you shouldn't sleep with her. She's sick!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at the woman named Qing'er with surprise.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, the woman immediately lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, young master!" She had already guessed what the old man meant to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning waved his hand: "It's alright!"

He never had that thought in his mind.

He didn't even touch Xiao Emei, who came to him for help, so why would he touch a woman of unknown origin?

The world is in dire straits, and the people are suffering terribly.

At this moment, he felt even more deeply.

He could understand the woman's actions.

Orphaned and without parents, with no one to rely on.

What other option is there for a lonely woman to survive, except to sell herself?
Then, he pushed the loose silver coins he had just placed in front of him away.

"Take this silver ingot!"

"Young master, why is this?" The woman looked at the broken silver in front of her, her expression blank.

"Life is tough these days, so I'll just take pity on you!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

A single ingot of silver was nothing more than a drop in the ocean to him now, and he couldn't be bothered to take it back.

"Thank you, young master!" The woman stared at the silver in front of her for a long time before finally expressing her gratitude.

“That’s a sincere statement!” Jiang Ning said.

Then, he refilled the teacup in front of him, and with a light touch of his fingertip, a drop of blood slowly spread out.

"If you believe me, drink this cup of tea!"

Looking at the tea that Jiang Ning had pushed in front of her, the woman nodded: "Young master is a good person, and Qing'er naturally believes in him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman picked up the cool tea that Jiang Ning had pushed towards her and gulped it down in a few gulps.

"Consider this your good fortune!" Jiang Ning said. "After today, your illness should be cured. From now on, find a righteous path! In the end, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the woman stared blankly at him.

After a few breaths, her eyes reddened slightly.

“Young Master is a good person, a truly good person! Qing’er deceived you, but instead of blaming me, you even helped Qing’er get treatment.”

Jiang Ning stood up and waved his hand, thinking of his past life.

If this woman had lived in a peaceful era in her previous life, she wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

In his view, it can only be said that the world owes her something.

I encountered this situation by chance, and it was just something I did on a whim.

"I'm helping you, as if the world owes you something; it's just a favor I did."

Jiang Ning voiced his thoughts and then stood up.

He felt pretentious to stay here any longer.

So he grabbed the remaining beef jerky from the plate and headed towards Dongling City.

"Young master, thank you. Actually, Qing'er isn't sick!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's actions, the woman quickly caught up and revealed the truth.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning stopped and glanced at her.

The woman quickly pulled open her collar, revealing a boil.

The next moment, she took out a small bottle of medicine from her body and began to apply it. As she applied it, the pustules slowly disappeared.

My skin isn't smooth, but it's not rough either.

Because she is still young enough.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle: "You're quite a clever person!"

In an instant, he had figured out the whole story.

I felt a slight sense of admiration for this ordinary woman with such a tragic past.

They were able to come up with this method to protect themselves.

He is a smart man.

Because we truly rely on our bodies as the means to survive.

Given the current state of hygiene, dying from illness is inevitable.

Then Jiang Ning added, "That's not important. Just live well! I've given you a great destiny, and with that destiny, you have the means to make a living in this world!"

Leaving those words behind, Jiang Ning turned and walked on.

As he activated the Wind and Thunder Steps, he immediately used the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, which he had already mastered.

Each time his figure flashed, he traversed several meters.

In less than a breath.

His figure disappeared from the sight of the old man and the woman named Qing'er.

"What a master!" The old man exclaimed with emotion as he watched Jiang Ning's figure disappear.

Having lived for so many years and run a tea stall in Shiliting, on the outskirts of Dongling City, he naturally had more experience than the average person.

I have met many highly skilled people who appear and disappear without a trace.

In his eyes, Jiang Ning was also a highly accomplished person of that kind.

The old man then looked at the woman named Qing'er: "Even the poorest person has such a blessing from heaven; this must be the fairness of fate!"

at the same time.

The woman named Qing'er, who was standing to the side, watched Jiang Ning's disappearing figure, and golden light flashed in her eyes from time to time.

"Divine blood entering the body..." she murmured to herself, her eyes filled with a chaotic mix of emotions.

a long time.

Her gaze regained its clarity, but her eyes were completely different from before.

"I never expected that the divine blood entering my body would bring forward the original growth plan for this spiritual body that allows me to transform into countless forms!"

A thought flashed through her mind, and then she smiled.

"Life is unpredictable, and fate is fickle!"

"My current spiritual body will one day grow to the pinnacle of this world."

"It is an opportunity for that man to form a good relationship with my spiritual body today!"

A thought flashed through her mind as she secretly analyzed the changes in her body, and then this consciousness returned to dormancy within her.

Then, her expression changed again, returning to its previous state.

As for the changes caused by that divine thought, she doesn't understand them and is unaware of them.

……

Dongling City.

It was still the same house, and the same four people were still sitting around the table.

"Gentlemen, Jiang Ning's trail has appeared at Shiliting. With his current speed, he should be able to enter the city soon!" Shangguan Guyun said.

Then he asked, "What are your thoughts now?"

“Since Master Shangguan has decided to take action against him, and now that we have obtained his whereabouts, we should kill him outside the city!” Spirit Serpent Gentleman said, then stood up to state his intentions.

"What about the other two?" Shangguan Guyun asked, looking at Xiao Hongyuan and Fairy Shui Lan.

Seeing Shangguan Guyun's gaze, Xiao Hongyuan said calmly, "Since the old master invited me here, all my actions are naturally in accordance with the old master's will."

At this moment, Fairy Water Blue also said, "Since the decision has already been made, there is no need to hesitate! If we are going to take action against that Inspector Jiang, we must finish him off in one battle and not give him any chance to escape!"

Hearing what the other three said.

Shangguan Guyun immediately stood up: "Since the three of you have reached a consensus, let's set off! The sooner the better! Letting him into the city will cause much more trouble!"

……

Outside Dongling City.

Jiang Ning left Shili Pavilion and walked towards Dongling City at a leisurely pace, eating beef jerky along the way.

Just now at Shiliting, he noticed several malicious gazes staring at him.

After using his movement technique to leave the Ten Mile Pavilion, he saw Youxin Weng rise up and flap his wings towards Dongling City.

The change in his demeanor immediately made him realize that he was being watched.

Whether they are enemies or friends is still unclear.

But now he is very confident in his own abilities.

Even if Li Sixiang of the Duxian Sect came in person, he was confident that he could win.

With such confidence, he was naturally fearless, and slowly walked towards Dongling City, waiting for the unexpected to happen.
