Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 641 Primordial Spirit Immortal
In the small courtyard, in the bamboo pavilion.

"Good wine!"

After taking a sip of Jiangning wine, Xia Xuanyan immediately praised it.

at the same time.

Xia Wanqin filled Jiang Ning's wine cup.

"Patriarch Xia, a Nascent Soul expert, you have created your own little world. What exactly does this mean? I wonder if you could enlighten me?" Jiang Ning seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him.

Hear the words.

Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly: "If this were in the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, it would just be common knowledge of the immortal path! The primordial spirit is a transformation of the soul through the medium of one's own true spirit. Although a primordial spirit expert has not completely mastered the rules of heaven and earth, he can still influence the rules of heaven and earth within a certain range and become the master of heaven and earth by virtue of the strength of his primordial spirit."

"Even though the external environment is harsh and no longer as prosperous as in ancient times, I can still exert 80% of my combat power in the cave world and will not let my spiritual power be drained by the external environment."

Upon hearing Xia Xuanyan's words, Jiang Ning immediately understood why Granny Bai had sighed so deeply for Daoist Qingyuan back then.

Pang Yunhai, for example, was clearly unable to unleash the power of immortal supernatural abilities and techniques outside of the cave heaven. Therefore, he could only fight against the Prince of Huai'an using martial arts and was not a Nascent Soul expert.

But Qingyuan Daoren was different.

A hidden sword strike severely injured the Prince of Huai'an, instilling fear in him and causing him to watch helplessly as Qingyuan Daoist led Pang Yunhai away.

This is the influence of a Nascent Soul expert.

"It's a world of its own," Jiang Ning murmured.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly: "How about it, are you interested in the path of immortality? You possess the roots of immortality, so you are fully capable of embarking on the path of immortality. With your comprehension, you may very well be able to condense your primordial spirit like me, achieve longevity, and overlook the rise and fall of the heroes of the world."

"Longevity and immortality?" Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened, his face showing surprise: "Can one achieve immortality by attaining the primordial spirit?"

“No!” Xia Xuanyan slowly shook his head: “At least not in this era.”

He then continued, "In ancient times, achieving the primordial spirit was a symbol of immortality. Anyone who achieved the primordial spirit could easily transcend tribulations and become an immortal. It wouldn't be a problem to say that one is preparing to become an immortal."

"To become an immortal is to shed one's mortal body and condense an immortal form!"

"Once you achieve this, your bodily functions will no longer have the concept of aging, and your immortal body will remain stable for a long time. The only things that can limit your lifespan are the limits of your primordial spirit and the five signs of decay in a celestial being!"

"However, that will be an incredibly long time; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it immortality."

"But even in this day and age, achieving the primordial spirit and living in a blessed land like a grotto-heaven for seven or eight thousand years is not a problem at all."

"Seven or eight thousand years, or even ten thousand years, do you think it's a problem to talk about immortality and longevity?"

Jiang Ning listened attentively to Xia Xuanyan's explanation.

Hearing Xia Xuanyan's last question.

He immediately shook his head: "No problem."

Then he added, “An ordinary person’s life is but a fleeting few decades. At seventy or eighty years old, one can live with four generations under one roof, spanning seven or eight thousand years. For an ordinary person, this is true immortality.”

“That makes sense!” Xia Xuanyan smiled and nodded.

Then, he picked up the glass of wine, took a sip, and looked at it with admiration once again.

"This Emperor's Essence is truly worthy of being called a sacred object of the demon race. It can purify bloodlines and cleanse the body, making it an unparalleled natural treasure."

"If Patriarch Xia likes it, I'll give you some!" Jiang Ning said.

“I don’t need it!” Xia Xuanyan shook his head: “Keep it! This thing can improve your innate aptitude, enhance your potential and foundation. When you have children in the future, this thing will be priceless.”

At this point, he glanced at Xia Wanqin.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of my daughter?"

Hear the words.

Jiang Ning glanced at Xia Wanqin.

"Virtuous and kind, with a beautiful face, few women in the world can compare to her."

Hearing Jiang Ning's praise, Xia Xuanyan nodded in satisfaction.

"My daughter praised you highly before, and I thought she was exaggerating. But after seeing you with my own eyes, I realize that you truly deserve to be the number one genius of our time!"

"Patriarch Xia, you flatter me!" Jiang Ning said modestly.

“I never flatter people unnecessarily!” Xia Xuanyan shook his head and then said, “The world probably can’t imagine that you have completed eight blood transfusions at such a young age, and your physique is so strong! But I must remind you that the number nine is the extreme, and nine blood transfusions are extremely dangerous.”

"The dangers involved are far greater than the previous eight combined!"

"If you want to get through the final hurdle, you need to find the True Dragon Blood and the Xuanhuang Liquid, which are treasures that can cleanse the body and bring about a physical transformation."

At this point, Xia Xuanyan smiled faintly again.

"The Xuanhuang Liquid is in stock in my Xuanhuang Cave Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what conditions the Xia family requires for the Xuanhuang Liquid?"

"Marry someone from my Xia family and leave behind an heir!" Xia Xuanyan added, "You don't need to rush to answer this; you can take your time to consider it!"

The words fell.

Xia Xuanyan then stood up.

"Whenever you've figured things out, you can have Wan Qin let me know!"

After leaving those words, Xia Xuanyan set off.

Seeing this, Xia Wanqin glanced at Jiang Ning and then followed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also got up and escorted the two to the entrance of the courtyard.

The entrance to the courtyard.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Jiang Ning slowly withdrew his gaze.

He understood the meaning behind Xia Xuanyan's words.

Although she didn't tell him explicitly, every conversation guided him, telling him about the benefits of embarking on the path of immortality, especially the benefits of achieving the primordial spirit.

A powerful cultivator at the Primordial Spirit level possesses a lifespan of ten thousand years, enough to make countless people yearn for such a thing.

It should be noted that the invincible Martial Saint, who is now nearing the end of his life, has only lived for a mere thousand years.

His lifespan is ten times that of a martial saint, lasting ten thousand years.

Although they will have to live in the cave world for most of the time from now on, such a long lifespan is equivalent to immortality, which is just as fatally attractive.

"It's really tempting!" he sighed inwardly.

He gives women, resources, and treasures, and all he has to do is a little.

"But this is not what I want. I have a better choice. For thousands of years, I have been confined to this blessed land. This is just a larger cage!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he turned and walked back.

By this time, the two figures had already disappeared.

the other side.

On the wide road, at midday, there were not many pedestrians.

"Father, why didn't you continue just now?" Xia Wanqin asked.

Xia Xuanyan glanced at her: "You said before that he had no intention of marrying you into my Xia family. Since that's the case, there's no point in bringing it up now!"

Then, Xia Xuanyan showed a look of emotion.

"At his age, he's at the peak of his youthful vigor, proud and arrogant. It's impossible for him to change his mind and thoughts so quickly, so it's impossible for the two of you to change your minds now!"

"However, there's no rush!" Xia Xuanyan smiled again: "Nine blood exchanges, a martial arts legend! If it were simple, how could it be called a martial arts legend! To achieve this, it's beyond what talent and physique can accomplish. Without the world's top-tier body-forging treasures to strengthen the body, the body simply cannot withstand this test!"

"When he encounters some setbacks in the future, he will naturally consider joining my Xia family!" "For someone his age to have reached this point, his talent and aptitude must be unparalleled in the world, and his bloodline must be exceptionally good. If you marry him in the future, remember to try to have as many children as possible!"

Hearing Xia Xuanyan's words, Xia Wanqin showed no anger on her face.

"Father, I will!"

Xia Xuanyan nodded: "Good that you understand! As a member of the Xia family, you have received family resources, and everyone must contribute to the family. You have taken a liking to him, so marrying someone you love is the best outcome for you! If anyone in the clan mentions your marriage again in the future, I will protect you! You just need to make Jiang Ning fall for you!"

"Thank you, Father!" Xia Wanqin said.

Xia Xuanyan nodded again.

"With his current achievements, if he joins my Xia family, I am confident that I can help him achieve martial arts legend. Once he achieves martial arts legend, he will surely become a world-class powerhouse, and his descendants will inherit his talent and aptitude."

Xia Wanqin said, "Father, don't worry! I understand!"

In the small courtyard.

Jiang Ning tidied up briefly and then walked out of the courtyard again.

After a while.

He checked out and headed straight for Ye Zhengqi's residence.

The main gate of the Ye residence.

"Lord Jiang, please come with me. Master has just gone to the Marquis's residence. I have already sent someone from the backyard to find him!" The steward of the Ye family hurriedly came out of the mansion and respectfully approached Jiang Ning.

"I'm not in a hurry!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

"Then please go inside and have a cup of tea. The master will be back in no more than half an hour!" said the steward of the Ye family.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

A cup of tea was consumed.

Jiang Ning heard noises and footsteps coming from outside the hall.

next moment.

Two figures appeared in front of him.

It was Shen Wenyuan and Ye Zhengqi.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning put down his tea and stood up.

"My lord!" "Minister Ye!"

Jiang Ning bowed.

"There's no need to be so formal!" Shen Wenyuan said with a smile.

Then he gestured for Jiang Ning to sit down first.

Subsequently.

The three of them were seated.

"Why has the Marquis come here?" Jiang Ning asked.

"You just met that primordial spirit immortal?" Shen Wenyuan asked.

"A Primordial Spirit Immortal?" Jiang Ning's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

He then immediately realized that the immortal being Shen Wenyuan was referring to was Xia Xuanyan.

"Your Excellency is referring to Xia Xuanyan, isn't he?" Jiang Ning asked.

“It’s him!” Shen Wenyuan nodded: “Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, Xia family patriarch, Xia Xuanyan! This person is a primordial spirit immortal who has achieved primordial spirit and created his own small world.”

"Primordial Spirit Immortal, what does this mean?" Jiang Ning asked. "Is it possible to become an immortal in this world?"

“You can’t become an immortal!” Shen Wenyuan shook his head and then said, “In ancient times, one could become an immortal by condensing a primordial spirit! Therefore, in this world, those who have achieved the primordial spirit are called immortals! However, they have not condensed an immortal body, and their magic power has not been transformed, so they are not true immortals.”

Shen Wenyuan seemed to see the doubt in Jiang Ning's mind, so he spoke up to explain.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

Then he asked, "How did you know he had come to see me, Lord Marquis?"

“Because the Primordial Spirit Immortal is too strong!” Shen Wenyuan said, “A Primordial Spirit powerhouse will cause turmoil in the world wherever he goes, just like a big fish entering a pond, the water ripples will change because of him, and the current will change course because of him! He noticed him the moment that Primordial Spirit Immortal arrived in Guangning City.”

"Later, we discovered that he had gone to the residence of Inspector Jiang, and we knew that he had come to see Inspector Jiang!"

Upon hearing Shen Wenyuan's explanation, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

"That primordial spirit immortal is indeed coming to find me."

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Shen Wenyuan's gaze was serious. "Should I report this to my superiors?"

"It's a mixed bag, but leans a bit more towards the positive side!" Jiang Ning said.

"Oh, that's a very interesting way to put it!" Shen Wenyuan said with great interest, then asked, "Would you mind telling me?"

"There's nothing inconvenient about it!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

Then he recounted how Xia Wanqin and Xia Xuanyan had recruited him.

"What's so bad about this!" Shen Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Envoy Jiang, this is a wonderful thing! To marry the daughter of a Primordial Spirit Immortal and become the son-in-law of a Primordial Spirit Immortal is not a bad thing at all! Moreover, this Primordial Spirit Immortal comes from the Xuanhuang Great Grotto-Heaven. Among all the blessed lands and grotto-heavens in the world, the Xuanhuang Great Grotto-Heaven is the best." Ye Zhengqi said with a smile.

"Prefect Ye is right! This is indeed a good thing for you! The Inspectorate does not object to you marrying the daughter of a Primordial Spirit Immortal. Moreover, having undergone nine blood transfusions and become a martial arts legend is extremely difficult. The Xuanhuang Liquid, condensed from Xuanhuang Qi, will certainly be of great help to your future achievement of a martial arts legend," Shen Wenyuan said.

"Living under someone else's roof is like being in a prison!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

"That's true!" Shen Wenyuan understood Jiang Ning's meaning and nodded in agreement.

"What are your plans for the future?" Shen Wenyuan asked.

"Go home for a few days first, then take some time to go to the capital to participate in the martial arts examination and see if I can win the title of martial arts champion!" Jiang Ning said.

"With your current strength, going to participate in the imperial examination and becoming the martial arts champion is as easy as taking candy from a baby!" Shen Wenyuan sighed.

He learned from Ye Zhengqi yesterday that Jiang Ning had defeated Nan Zhiwei and entered the realm of invincible grandmaster.

In the previous dozens of martial arts examinations, the strongest martial arts champion was only a top-tier master in terms of combat strength.

The difference in strength between a top-tier grandmaster and an invincible grandmaster is not on the same level.

Jiang Ning smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning had lunch and a few drinks with Shen Wenyuan and Ye Zhengqi before taking his leave.

After Jiangning left.

"Lord Marquis, do you think he will side with the Xia family of Xuanhuang Cave Heaven?" Ye Zhengqi asked.

“Having achieved so much at such a young age, one must be arrogant. How could one be willing to marry into the Xia family and depend on them for support!” Shen Wenyuan shook his head and said.

“What you say makes sense, Lord Marquis!” Ye Zhengqi nodded.

Shen Wenyuan added, "However, if another hundred or eighty years pass, or if he still hasn't taken the final step, completed the nine blood transfusions, and achieved a martial arts legend, then things might be different!"

"Lord Marquis, you don't think he can become a martial arts legend?" Ye Zhengqi asked.

"It's very difficult for him to do it on his own! Without the world's top-tier body-forging treasures, it's hard to reach that stage of physical strength and support the completion of the ninth blood exchange!" Shen Wenyuan shook his head.

Then he added, "However, that lord has been paying attention to him for a long time! If he goes to the capital, that lord should help him! With the resources of the Martial Saint Mansion, there must be some top-tier body-forging treasures in stock!"
