Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 607 Linglong: I am my master's pet!

morning.

After breakfast.

"My lords, please come this way!" Lüyi led Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu toward Jiang Ning's courtyard.

The two passed through the circular archway and saw Jiang Ning sitting in the lakeside pavilion.

At this moment, Jiang Ning threw fish food into the lake, causing ripples to spread across the surface, and various ornamental fish chased after the food on the lake.

Jiang Ning also stood up at this moment.

"Lord of the Manor, Brother Bai!" he greeted.

"Inspector Jiang certainly has plenty of leisure time!" Zhao Yulong laughed.

"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu swished his folding fan shut and bowed to Jiang Ning from afar.

After a while.

The three of them sat down in the pavilion.

"Inspector Jiang, I hope Miss Zhong Ling's stay here hasn't bothered you!" Zhao Yulong said with a smile.

"It won't have any impact, I have plenty of space here!" Jiang Ning said.

"Then Inspector Jiang should just let things take their course; it's time for him to settle down and start a family!" Zhao Yulong said with a smile.

"Lord, these must be what Prefect Zhong left behind a couple of days ago!" Jiang Ning pushed the tea in front of Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu.

“Prefect Zhong does indeed have this idea!” Zhao Yulong nodded.

Then he looked at Linglong, who was quietly sipping her tea, and asked, "And who is this young lady?"

Jiang Ning felt a headache coming on when Zhao Yulong asked about Linglong's identity.

After transforming into human form, Linglong was clearly fascinated by everything and didn't really want to return to the lake.

“I am my master’s pet!” Linglong said, looking up.

"A pet?" Zhao Yulong was taken aback. Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning and Linglong with her mouth slightly open, her face full of disbelief.

"Brother Jiang...you actually...like this kind of thing!!!" Bai Luoyu opened her mouth, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning: "."

He looked at Bai Luoyu speechlessly.

He naturally understood what Bai Luoyu meant.

He then flicked Linglong's forehead.

“You should go to school and read books!” he said to Linglong.

Linglong immediately put down her tea, covered her head, and looked at Jiang Ning with a pitiful expression.

Jiang Ning then looked at Bai Luoyu and said, "Linglong is my demon pet!"

"A demonic pet?" Zhao Yulong was slightly taken aback.

He seemed to understand something immediately, and his eyes widened as if they were copper bells.

"A transformed demon?!" Bai Luoyu's mouth gaped open as she looked incredulously at the petite Linglong beside her.

"Brother Bai is right!" Jiang Ning nodded.

click-

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup in Zhao Yulong's hand shattered, spilling tea all over the floor.

The two of them were immediately filled with a storm of emotions.

They both knew what kind of existence a great demon that could transform into human form was.

That is a level of existence far surpassing that of ordinary grandmasters.

The two were especially aware that the great demon Bai Chi in the Luo River had injured Ye Zhengqi, the prefect of Guangning Prefecture, and even with the help of Marquis Shen Wenyuan, they had not been able to defeat the great demon in the Luo River.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Linglong, who was well-behaved and petite, standing to the side.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Wouldn't she be able to go toe-to-toe with that transformed demon in the Luo River?" Zhao Yulong asked.

"More or less!" Jiang Ning nodded.

That being said, in his opinion, Linglong was much stronger than that great demon Bai Chi.

The appearance of the great demon Bai Chi was clearly man-made, and the presence of the Human Emperor's Sword within its belly must be related to some important figure.

Moreover, that great demon, Bai Chi, also had mental problems.

A normal great demon can transform into human form and possesses intelligence no different from that of a human. Due to its powerful soul and quick thinking, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In terms of intellect, the great demon Bai Chi of the Luo River was clearly inferior to Linglong.

On the other hand, Linglong's bloodline is even more noble. As a member of the Dragon Carp clan, she possesses the innate bloodline of a true dragon.

Among the demon race, bloodlines are noble, and even those with the same cultivation level are not on the same level.

Not to mention that Linglong is now a god among mortals, in charge of three hundred miles of water.

This is even more extraordinary, as the great demon Bai Chi in the Luo River is no match for Linglong.

"A transformed demon!!" Bai Luoyu murmured as she looked at Linglong, her expression complex.

He suddenly realized that he was no longer on the same level as Jiang Ning.

The transformed demonic pet beside Jiang Ning could crush him with a single finger.

"Lord of the Manor!" Jiang Ning spoke up at that moment.

Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu's eyes immediately fell on him.

Hearing Jiang Ning's tone, the two knew that Jiang Ning had something to say.

"What's the current situation of the great demon Bai Chi in the Luo River?" Jiang Ning asked again.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the two understood what he meant.

The news came from Jiang Ning, who instructed the two to upload it. They also learned what Jiang Ning had discovered in the Luo River some time ago.

They learned many secrets about the great demon, Bai Chi.

"The above means to remain silent and observe the situation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

The above is to avoid alerting the enemy.

"Is the great demon Bai Chi still safe and sound?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"Some people were injured, and many villages around the Luo River have erected statues of the great demon Bai Chi!" Zhao Yulong said.

the other side.

Star-catching tower.

"Cousin, he's back!" Wang Yuanxing rushed to the balcony.

"Is the information accurate?" Wang Xuan asked.

“Accurate!” Wang Yuan nodded.

“Then let’s go find him! Staying in the human world for too long will not benefit us!” Wang Xuan said.

“Then come with me, cousin. I’ve already arranged a carriage!” Wang Yuan volunteered.

"Senior sister, you can't leave me here!" Ge Xian'er stepped out from behind the two of them.

"Junior Sister Ge, come with me!" Wang Xuan glanced at her and said calmly.

After a while.

A group of three appeared at the entrance of Jiangning.

The courtyard gate was ajar.

"Cousin, I'll go knock on the door!" Wang Yuan followed behind Wang Xuan and jumped down from the carriage.

"I'll go!" Wang Xuan exclaimed.

The words fell.

She walked forward and climbed the steps.

dong dong dong-

A light tap with finger bones produces a highly penetrating sound.

After a dozen breaths.

Boom——

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and the bearings made a rumbling sound as they rubbed together.

"You are..." Liu Wanwan opened the front gate and her eyes widened slightly in surprise when she saw Wang Xuan.

The woman in front of her was very beautiful, with an outstanding temperament, yet her figure was clean and neat, giving her the feeling that she was not an ordinary person.

"I am an old friend from Jiangning. I learned today that he has returned, so I have come to pay him a visit!"

"So you're Aning's friend!" Liu Wanwan's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she stepped aside: "Please come in and talk, I'll go find Aning later."

at the same time.

the other side.

Following Jiang Ning's instructions, Lü Yi strode briskly toward the front yard.

East courtyard.

"Brother Jiang, since I have guests, I'll head back now!" Bai Luoyu stood up.

"Inspector Jiang, I'll be heading back now!" Zhao Yulong also rose and cupped his hands in greeting. "I'll see you both off!" Jiang Ning said, rising as well.

"No need!" Zhao Yulong raised his hand to stop Jiang Ning's actions: "Inspector Jiang, please entertain the guests first! We've visited so many times already, please make yourselves at home!"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Those people who came were not important figures."

Subsequently.

The three of them walked towards the front yard.

Just as they stepped out of the East Courtyard, they saw Wang Xuan, Wang Yuan, and Ge Xian'er walking towards them.

"Young Master Jiang!" Wang Xuan greeted him with a cupped-hand salute, her movements swift and decisive.

"Miss Wang Xuan, please wait a moment, I'll see my friend off!" Jiang Ning greeted Wang Xuan briefly, then asked Lü Yi to lead the three of them to his courtyard before leaving with Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu.

“Cousin, he doesn’t seem surprised at all by the arrival of the three of us!” Wang Yuan said, following Wang Xuan’s gaze as he looked at Jiang Ning’s back.

“That’s normal!” Ge Xian’er spoke first: “Senior Sister Wang said before that she would pay a visit in the future and bring something of equal value to Senior Sister Wang’s natal flying sword.”

After a while.

After seeing Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu off, Jiang Ning headed back towards his own courtyard.

at the same time.

The three people in the courtyard looked at Linglong as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

"A thousand years of cultivation!"

"A transformed great demon!"

"!!!"

As immortal prodigies, Wang Xuan and the other two, with their cultivation and extraordinary divine sense, could sense the rich demonic aura and dragon might emanating from Linglong, and could feel the subtle pressure she brought them.

the other side.

Linglong smiled and gently sipped the wine from Jiang Ning's glass.

Within the wine, silver liquid swirls and golden threads float.

With each sip of wine, Linglong wore a satisfied expression.

The aroma of the Emperor's nectar made her feel that this wine was the most delicious thing in the world.

"belch--"

A moment later, she gently patted her chest and let out a burp.

at this time.

Jiang Ning also returned to his own courtyard.

"The three of you!" Jiang Ning said, looking at the three people standing in front of the lakeside pavilion.

"Young Master Jiang!" Wang Xuan turned around and clasped her hands in a respectful greeting to Jiang Ning, her movements clean and efficient.

Jiang Ning glanced at Wang Xuan and the two people beside her, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Miss Wang, is there something important that you've come here for?"

As Jiang Ning walked towards the three of them, he spoke.

"Does Lord Jiang seem completely unafraid of us?" Ge Xian'er asked.

"Why should I be afraid?" Jiang Ning smiled.

“Your magic fan is still in your hands, and you haven’t returned it yet!” Ge Xian’er said.

"When did your magic fan become yours?" Jiang Ning asked, raising his hand and summoning a beam of azure light.

Then a blue round fan appeared.

next moment.

He held a round fan in his hand and slightly activated it. Instantly, a blue light flashed, and the long hair and clothes of the three people were lifted by the strong wind.

Upon seeing this, Ge Xian'er's expression immediately changed.

At this moment, she felt that the Divine Fan was in Jiang Ning's hands, and it felt slightly stronger to her than when it was in her own hands.

"Where is your name written on this door?" Jiang Ning asked.

"You've refined all seventeen restrictions?" Ge Xian'er asked.

Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.

Wang Xuan's gaze was solemn.

Then she reached out her hand in front of Ge Xian'er.

"Junior sister, we are outmatched and have to admit defeat."

"Senior sister speaks so generously, but why don't you admit defeat and hand over your sword?" Ge Xian'er said to Wang Xuan in a somewhat aggressive tone.

“I will pay the price!” Wang Xuan said.

Then he withdrew the arm that had been blocking Ge Xian'er's way.

“If Junior Sister Ge is unwilling, I will not stop you! But your Grand Uncle is not here today! Your Grand Uncle will not step out of the cave again for a small divine fan! Coming to the mortal world, every moment spent there will cause spiritual pressure to flow back, which will be harmful to your Grand Uncle.”

Upon hearing Wang Xuan's words, Ge Xian'er immediately shut her mouth.

She also knew that the facts were as Wang Xuan had said.

It's impossible for my uncle to leave the mountain and Qingyang Cave just because of this trivial matter.

After all, the outside world lacks spiritual energy, and when someone like my great-uncle comes out, there is a serious imbalance between his own spiritual pressure and that of the outside world.

Even with cultivation at the pinnacle of humanity, it is impossible to completely lock away the spiritual power within the body.

For every moment spent outside, one loses a portion of spiritual energy.

This phenomenon is even more pronounced in the bustling, noisy world, which is almost a place devoid of spiritual energy.

When he returns this time, his great-uncle will need to consolidate his cultivation.

at the same time.

Jiang Ningyan captured the key information in Wang Xuan's words.

"Spiritual pressure surge!"

"No wonder we rarely saw people from the cave before."

He thought to himself.

"The three of you, sit down and talk!" Jiang Ning walked into the pavilion by the lake and snatched the wine pot from Linglong's hands: "Children shouldn't drink too much wine!"

With a flash of golden light in his hand, Jiang Ning put away the wine pot.

Linglong pouted: "Okay! Okay!"

She then walked toward the fence.

next moment.

She leaped over the fence, transforming into a dragon carp and falling into the lake.

Upon seeing this, the three exchanged glances and then walked into the lakeside pavilion.

“Young Master Jiang, this sword has returned to my hands, not because I took it back honorably, but because I borrowed the prestige of my great-uncle! I, Wang Xuan, can afford to lose!”

"You mean you're going to exchange this sword for mine?" Jiang Ning looked at the flying sword in Wang Xuan's hand, reached out and grabbed it, and the long sword fell into his hand.

hum!
The longsword vibrated as he struck it, its blade humming and the echo lingering.

"What a fine sword!" he exclaimed.

Of all the swords he had ever seen, Wang Xuan's sword was the best he had ever seen.

He had used it a few times before in Shangyang Cave, and it was very convenient and easy to use.

"This sword is intertwined with my life, it's equivalent to half my life!" Wang Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning understood what Wang Xuan meant.

"What is the purpose of Miss Wang's visit today?"

He tossed the longsword in his hand, and it transformed into a beam of light within the pavilion, arcing through the air and landing beside Wang Xuan.

“I am willing to offer the same treatment as ransom!” Wang Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning gave Wang Xuan a serious look.

"Miss Wang is so generous!" he exclaimed in praise.

At this moment, he also saw some of Wang Xuan's personality traits: proud, arrogant, unwilling to take advantage of others, unwilling to owe others anything, and a bit temperamental.

This kind of person is obviously suitable to be a friend.

"What does Young Master Jiang need?"

"Gold? Elixirs? Rare and precious herbs? Cultivation methods? Martial arts techniques?"

"Swordsmanship, please! Any suitable swordsmanship will do!" Seeing Wang Xuan's straightforwardness, Jiang Ning was unwilling to ask for more.

He also happened to lack a suitable sword technique to improve himself.

"Swordsmanship?" Wang Xuan frowned.

Then he patted his waist, and a jade pendant immediately appeared there.

"This contains the inheritance of a peerless sword technique. In terms of price, it's comparable to the value of my flying sword. Would you be willing to accept that?"

Jiang Ning frowned as he looked at the jade pendant in Wang Xuan's hand.

Now I have mastered the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

With this supreme sword technique originating from the Shangyang Immortal Sect, what he lacks now is not a high-grade sword technique, but a sword technique that can break through his limits in a short time and bring him attribute growth.
