Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 568 The Surge in Source Energy Points and Li Sixiang's Attitude!

Excalibur Villa.

On a solitary peak.

Jiang Ning quickly completed the artistic conception of the other two solar terms to perfection.

[Skill]: Springtime Manual (Incomplete) (Mastery 121/2000) (Cannot be upgraded)

Lesser Heat (Perfect 3/1000)

Great Heat (Perfect 5/1000)

"I've collected all six fragments of the solar term scrolls." Jiang Ning thought to himself as he looked at his screen.

He immediately closed the panel and looked towards the Divine Sword Manor.

Inside the resort, people were still busy at work.

His presence on the solitary peak was solely to prevent any trouble from arising at Divine Sword Manor.

Otherwise, Xie Xiaojiu and Su Zhi alone wouldn't be able to suppress the riot at Shenjian Manor.

The reason why Shenjian Manor was so obedient was firstly because the battle last night had instilled fear in the people of Shenjian Manor.

Secondly, it was the submission of Shangguan Feilong, Shangguan Jincheng, and others.

As the patriarch and head of the Shangguan family, their attitudes represent the attitude of the Shangguan family.

For the sake of the family's continuation, they made the wisest decision.

And all of this is because of him.

If he weren't here, the people in the manor wouldn't be so well-behaved.

I stood on the solitary peak and looked down for a moment.

Jiang Ning picked up the martial arts manual that Xie Xiaojiu had just given him again.

[Literacy and Character Interpretation Experience Points +1]

[Literacy and Character Interpretation Experience Points +1]

[Literacy and Character Interpretation Experience Points +1]

【.】

As he perused martial arts manuals, his experience points in literacy skyrocketed over time.

The martial arts techniques that Xie Xiaojiu sent were all accumulated by Shenjian Villa over the years, and even the lowest-grade technique was a mid-level martial art.

In the blink of an eye.

As the sun sets, the sky turns crimson.

The slanting rays of the setting sun could no longer cover Shenjian Manor, but only the solitary peak where Jiang Ning was located.

Over time.

The last rays of the setting sun slowly moved upwards along the solitary peak and cliff, soon only passing overhead, and the sky darkened.

"My lord, these are the precious elixirs kept in the manor!" Xie Xiaojiu reappeared before Jiang Ning, carrying a wooden box.

"Put it down!" Jiang Ning said.

Today, Xie Xiaojiu has been traveling back and forth between Lonely Peak and Divine Sword Manor, bringing a considerable amount of rare and precious medicinal materials.

Most of it has already been acquired by Jiangning, and they haven't even started to digest this gain yet.

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Xie Xiaojiu put the wooden box in his hand aside.

Then he asked, "Sir, will we be having dinner later?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "There's no need for that!"

"Understood!" Xie Xiaojiu nodded.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile as he watched Xie Xiaojiu take a shortcut down the mountain and descent rapidly along the smooth cliff face.

Then he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion, and the wooden box that Xie Xiaojiu had just placed aside flew into his hand.

Upon opening the lid of the wooden box, one could see that inside the square wooden box were exquisite jade bottles containing elixirs.

Dragon and Tiger Strengthening Bone Pill, Mighty Vajra Pill, Embracing Yuan and Nourishing Spirit Pill, Great Rejuvenation Pill.
The labels on the jade bottles all indicated the extraordinary nature of these elixirs.

Jiang Ning glanced at it, then poured out the pill and threw it into his mouth.

Soon, he swept all the jade bottles of pills away.

He then picked up the exercise manual and continued to read it.

Time soon came to night.

The lights in the villa rose like stars, and the bright moon rose from the west.

"Finally finished reading!" Jiang Ning closed the book in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Skill]: Literacy (Breaking the limit 33273/40000 twelve times) (Characteristics: Photographic memory, extraordinary senses, quick thinking.)

We're still short by over 6,000 experience points!
Looking at his own panel, Jiang Ning had a series of thoughts.

Then, he glanced down at the villa below, which was still bustling with activity.

After watching for a while and finding nothing unusual, he then looked away.

He looked up again at the full moon overhead.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, like a jade plate.

August 15th, according to the agreement I left for Lin Qingyi, tonight is the first agreed time. I wonder if she received the message I sent her.

A thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

Then he secretly sent a message to Xie Xiaojiu, giving her some instructions.

He then vanished from the solitary peak under the moonlight.

the other side.

Xie Xiaojiu looked at the long sword that had broken through the air and appeared in front of her, pursed her lips, and then grasped it with one hand.

"Don't worry, sir! I won't let anything go wrong here!" she thought to herself.

Then he reinserted the spirit sword Jian Jiu into its sheath on his back and set off to find Su Zhi.

Of all the personnel left in the Divine Sword Manor by the Inspectorate, Su Zhi was number one in terms of both status and strength.

Even in today's Divine Sword Manor, Su Zhi would be considered one of the top fighters.

With the Grandmaster gone, even a fourth-rank official becomes king.

Currently, there are no Grandmasters in the Divine Sword Manor; the fourth rank is the highest level of martial arts in the manor.

Su Zhi was an outstanding person among the fourth-rank officials.

Looking across Dongling County, there aren't many who can surpass her.

Water Moon Sword Palace.

In just half an hour, Jiang Ning once again landed on the island in the middle of the lake where the Water Moon Sword Palace was located.

"This way of traveling is really exhausting!" He thought to himself, sensing his own condition.

Then, with a swift movement, he vanished from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was in front of the goddess statue.

At this moment, the pure white moonlight poured down from the sky above the main hall, falling on the goddess statue. Enveloped in divine light, the goddess statue seemed to come alive.

On the prayer mat in front of the statue.

A woman dressed in a thin, plain white dress sat cross-legged.

The woman's long hair fell naturally, cascading down the ground like a waterfall; her eyebrows were like painted paintings, and her skin was as white as jade.

"My lord." Xiao Emei noticed the fluctuation in the air around her, suddenly opened her eyes, and then saw Jiang Ning's figure.

Jiang Ning glanced at Xiao Emei and asked, "Has Lin Qingyi been to the Water Moon Sword Palace?"

"I haven't seen her!" Xiao Emei looked up at Jiang Ning and shook her head.

At this moment, she understood that from Jiang Ning's perspective, he would inevitably see the exposed skin on her chest.

Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze: "Then I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ning walked out of the hall.

"My lord, won't you stay for the night?" Xiao Emei asked, getting up.

"You're being too deliberate!" Jiang Ning's voice rang in her ear.

“I only treat adults this way, and I am clean!” Xiao Emei stepped forward and said.

next moment.

He watched as Jiang Ning disappeared from sight, and Xiao Emei couldn't help but purse her red lips.

the other side.

Jiang Ning stood on the rooftop, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Emei, who was standing at the entrance of the main hall. He then shook his head and disappeared from the spot once more.

Since Lin Qingyi wasn't there, he could only wait a month before coming back.

In the blink of an eye.

That was three days later.

On a solitary peak.

Jiang Ning closed the book in his hand and looked at his panel.

[Skill]: Literacy (40000/40000 after 12 attempts) (Characteristics: Photographic memory, extraordinary senses, quick thinking)

"Experience points are maxed out!"

He then looked at the Energy Points column.

[Source Energy]: 93177
"We're still short on energy points!"

Looking at his current energy points, he secretly shook his head.

Over the course of three days, the energy points increased by more than 70,000 points.

Such remarkable growth is all due to the century-long accumulation of Shenjian Manor.

However, his energy expenditure has also increased significantly.

The next breakthrough in literacy and character recognition required an astonishing number of energy points.

One hundred thousand points.

This was his prediction based on previous patterns.

So even though the energy points have exceeded 90,000 and reached over 93,000.

Even with his liver full of knowledge and ability to read and write, he couldn't see that familiar plus sign.

This also means that to break through to the current level of literacy, the required energy points are more than 90,000.

He closed the panel.

call--

He let out a long breath.

Over the past three days, in order to master the art of liver-reading and character recognition, he not only read all the martial arts techniques recorded in the Divine Sword Manor, but also read many other books, which is why he has reached this point.

As for why he chose the art of reading and deciphering characters, it was a decision he made after careful consideration.

He now has only two choices.

One is the wood-chopping knife technique that has broken through limits twelve times, and the other is the character recognition and word-reading technique that has broken through limits twelve times.

Both have the same progress, having completed twelve limit-breaking attempts.

Therefore, the number of energy points required for the next breakthrough will be the same.

A breakthrough in his wood-chopping knife technique will undoubtedly allow him to advance further in his knife skills, significantly enhancing his regular combat capabilities.

But after he unleashes the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body Technique, will his swordsmanship still be effective?
Breakthroughs in literacy affect mental strength and the soul.

Now his yin spirit has given rise to yang.

Going a step further, the Yin spirit might be able to completely transform into the Yang spirit.

In this world, there are not only open attacks, but also hidden arrows.

The strength of one's spirit is equally important.

He had already witnessed the existence of the blessed land.

With the opening of the Yanghu Secret Realm, how could those people in the blessed land not come out?

Within the hidden grotto, the environment remains largely unchanged from ancient times, and numerous resources related to immortality exist.

After careful consideration, Jiang Ning made this choice.

at the same time.

Tianzhu Mountain.

The headquarters of the Yingtian Alliance.

"Such a change has occurred in Dongling County?" Li Sixiang frowned after reading the intelligence report in his hand.

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" The woman in the red dress nodded and continued, "That Inspector Jiang first found a reason to destroy the Five Swords Sect, and then three days ago he subdued the Divine Sword Manor. As a result, the Mitian Sect has become history in Dongling County!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the red dress looked helpless.

By the time she received the news, everything was already set in stone. The Five Swords Sect was destroyed, the Divine Sword Manor surrendered, and the Mitian Sect fared even worse. Nothing could be salvaged.

"Vermilion Bird, what do you think we should do about this?" Li Sixiang asked the Vermilion Bird envoy in front of him.

"Alliance Leader, the Yingtian Alliance is newly established and at the most crucial time for its development. Its reputation cannot be ruined, so we cannot sit idly by!" the woman in the red dress said.

Hear the words.

Li Sixiang rested his head on his hand and stroked his chin, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

"It's precisely because of his status that it's difficult to take action against him!"

"If we act openly and take the lead, the inspectorate will be overwhelmed if they send people down!"

"Moreover, I heard that the Jiang Inspector was highly regarded by his superiors and his Blood Transformation Technique reached the ninth level!"

Hearing the last sentence.

The woman in the red dress was taken aback.

"The extreme of nine?"

“Yes!” Li Sixiang nodded slightly: “The number nine is enough to show his potential!”

"Alliance Leader, if that's really the case, then there's no need to worry too much!" said the woman in the red dress.

“Originally, there was no need to pay too much attention to it. To complete the Nine Extremes, one would become a new martial arts legend!” Li Sixiang shook his head: “There are countless challengers to the title of martial arts legend, but only one in a hundred years appears. Just a year ago, the Daoist sect produced a martial arts legend! In the same era, what kind of luck would be needed to become the second one?”

Hear the words.

The woman in the red dress said, "Then, according to the Alliance Leader's suggestion, let's just let it cool down for now?"

“Not likely!” Li Sixiang shook his head. “The Yingtian Alliance is at a critical juncture right now. If we don’t deal with this matter and restore our reputation, the other two prefectures will have no chance of joining the Yingtian Alliance, and even the people from the Five Mountains Prefecture might consider withdrawing.” Li Sixiang rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled.

"Then I'll go kill him!!" the woman in the red dress said.

“That won’t do!” Li Sixiang shook his head again: “The incident in Dongling County has just happened. If we attack him now, everyone will know that it was us! Besides, you alone cannot deal with that Inspector Jiang.”

"The Alliance Leader is overestimating him. I have strength approaching that of a top-tier Grandmaster. Even if I, Envoy Jiang, have high talent, I still need time to grow!" The woman in the red dress spoke calmly, seemingly unaffected by Li Sixiang's disdain.

“Sun Ming, the master of Shenjian Manor, is actually as strong as Ye Zhengqi,” Li Sixiang said.

"Comparable to Ye Zhengqi?" The woman in the red dress frowned immediately.

She is the Vermilion Bird Envoy, one of the four envoys of the Yingtian Alliance.

They naturally had an understanding of Ye Zhengqi's strength.

Ye Zhengqi has already completed four of the six paths of the Six Harmonies.

Her combat strength rivals that of top grandmasters and is in no way inferior to hers.

Even because of the profound mystery of the Six Harmonies Path, his combat strength and methods are subtly superior to his.

Such a person would be a prominent figure even if placed in Guangning Prefecture, let alone Dongling County.

"Is Sun Ming really that strong?" the woman in the red dress asked.

“Not by much!” Li Sixiang said.

"What kind of monster is Jiang Ning?" The woman in the red dress secretly gasped.

She knows how difficult it has been to get to where she is today, and how much she has gone through to achieve it.

“So this is a real headache!” Li Sixiang said.

"Forget it!" After pondering for a moment, Li Sixiang stood up: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Inspector Jiang has chosen the path of blood transfusion at the Nine Extremes, which poses little threat in the long run!"

"The opening time of the Yanghu Secret Realm is not long, and you should set off now, or you may miss it."

Upon seeing Li Sixiang's actions, the woman in the red dress immediately spoke.

"Alliance Leader, what about you? Aren't you going?"

Li Sixiang shook his head: "As the deputy leader, I need to go see the real leader and hear his opinion! Besides, a second-grade Grandmaster already carries the aura of this world; going to the secret realm is too dangerous!"

At this point, Li Sixiang couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Nowadays, a second-rank cultivator may seem like a regional overlord, but in the eyes of those great supernatural beings who could open up secret realms and grotto heavens in ancient times, and in the eyes of those who could manipulate rules and create heaven and earth, I am nothing more than a slightly larger ant!"

“Times have changed!” the woman in the red dress said. “The fact that the Alliance Leader has reached this point in this era and become an existence that surpasses all ordinary people is beyond the reach of ordinary people! Even in ancient times, with such abundant energy, the Alliance Leader’s achievements would still not be low.”
