Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 665 Cultivation, Victory Celebration!

Juntian City.

As the sun set, the sky was quickly swallowed by darkness.

now.

Jiang Ning suddenly stopped what he was doing and listened intently.

"So it's the Marquis who's back!"

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Sheng during the day, he returned to the Marquis's residence in Juntian City alone.

This refers to the aftermath of Xuanshan's events, in which case he was no longer needed.

Therefore, he chose to return to Juntian City first and cultivate alone in the Marquis's mansion.

The reason he didn't choose to return to Dongling City was also because of Zhou Sheng's request.

This surprise attack annihilated Zhixuan Mountain. Although it missed Yun Shanhe, a titled second-grade grandmaster, it was still a great achievement.

He deserves the third highest credit, so he is indispensable at the victory celebration banquet.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to participate in Zhou Sheng's request.

After all, he couldn't very well refuse Zhou Sheng's request, no matter what.

Moreover, Zhou Sheng did not take credit for his work, and even prepared a brocade robe worth a thousand gold pieces for him in advance.

Only members of the royal family and relatives of the emperor had access to the tribute fabrics.

How could he possibly offend Zhou Sheng?

After learning that the commotion was caused by Zhou Sheng's return, he readjusted his mindset.

call--

He let out a long breath.

They then assumed the corresponding pose for the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Just a few breaths.

He felt every inch of flesh burning beneath his skin, and felt as if millions of ants were crawling beneath his skin.

In an instant, beads of sweat gathered on his well-defined upper body and rolled down.

【.】

Having not focused on gaining experience points for this technique for a long time, he noticed that the notifications appearing before him were much more frequent than before.

This also indicates that he can gain more experience points in the same amount of time compared to before.

This also shows that his efficiency has improved.

Less than half an hour later.

Footsteps came from outside the courtyard, the sound growing louder as they approached.

The sky was also dark and gloomy, and night enveloped the earth.

After a while.

Two figures came into Jiang Ning's sight.

He was still gritting his teeth.

The body's blood and qi continuously wash over every inch of the skin, bringing a numb and painful sensation, like being tortured.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his body and then dripped down.

After a few breaths.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

This message appears.

call--

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing.

“My lord, it’s the Zhong family’s envoy!” Jiang Ning said.

"I never expected this! You came back early just to practice your skills at the manor?" Zhou Sheng looked at the beads of sweat still rolling down Jiang Ning's body with amazement.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said.

"I feel uneasy!"

"Why?" Zhou Sheng looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Yun Shanhe, the master of Zhixuan Mountain, is still alive. If he finds out my identity in the future, he will inevitably take action against me!"

Zhou Sheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

I seemed to understand something in my heart.

Then he smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that! The silver mask that my craftsmen made for you is made of silver star sand."

"This special material emits a special field that can block most prying eyes, including mental power, divine sense, and certain eye techniques."

"With that mask on, even if that ancestor from Xuan Yuan Blessed Land secretly observes you, he most likely won't be able to see through the mask's concealment."

"Moreover, with me in the Five Sacred Mountains Prefecture, even if Yun Shanhe leaves the Xuan Yuan Blessed Land one day, he won't have the mind to go here."

You can rest assured about that!

Zhou Sheng made this final promise to Jiang Ning.

“Of course I believe what you say, Lord Marquis!” Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng smiled.

"Remember to attend the victory celebration banquet at six quarters past 7 PM. You are one of the main characters tonight! Don't forget! I will have a maid from the manor come over later."

"Rest assured, my lord, I will be punctual!" Jiang Ning replied.

“Okay!” Zhou Sheng said.

at this time.

Zhong Yue came before Jiang Ning and then bowed to him.

"No!!" Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly stepped forward and reached out to support Zhong Yue.

All of a sudden.

Zhong Yue discovered that no matter how much force he exerted, his body wouldn't move down even a fraction of an inch.

"So strong!"

He was immediately filled with a sense of shock.

Although he knew Jiang Ning was very strong from the battle during the day.

But seeing and experiencing firsthand are always different experiences.

Having personally experienced Jiang Ning's power, which was as unshakeable as mountains and seas, he realized that Jiang Ning's strength had far surpassed that of his predecessor.

The difference in physique and strength is so great.

He dared not imagine how terrifying it would be if Jiang Ning used that unpredictable sword technique he had used during the day!
"Why is Prefect Zhong acting this way?" Jiang Ning asked.

Upon hearing this, he was helped to his feet by Jiang Ning's strength.

He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, and then said, "Zhong Ling will need your care for a while longer!"

Looking at the expression on Zhong Yue's face.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Thank you!" Zhong Yue immediately expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Just then, Zhou Sheng said, "Words of thanks are no good! Remember to toast Inspector Jiang a few more times at the banquet later!"

“You’re right, Lord Marquis!” Upon hearing Zhou Sheng’s words, Zhong Yue immediately nodded in agreement.

"Inspector Jiang, Elder Zhong and I won't disturb you any longer as you continue practicing! Remember to keep your appointment later! The celebration banquet will begin promptly at six quarters past Xu hour, and you can wear your mask then!" Zhou Sheng said to Jiang Ning.

“No problem!” Jiang Ning replied.

Zhou Sheng then left with Zhong Yue.

I watched the two of them leave.

Jiang Ning glanced at the sky above his head again.

As dusk enveloped the earth, the hour had already reached between five and six o'clock in the afternoon.

"There's still some time!" Jiang Ning nodded to himself.

Then, his gaze swept across the panel again.

[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Three Limit Breaks 1899/40000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))
The experience points we've accumulated so far are insignificant compared to the total amount needed.

However, with accumulation, he will eventually be able to break through this technique again.

And judging from today's efficiency, this day won't be long.

Subsequently.

He calmed himself down, assumed the appropriate posture, and continued to grind for experience points in this skill.

After everything that happened during the day, he understood.

The top priority now is no longer a breakthrough in swordsmanship.

In terms of swordsmanship, with the Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword he now wields, he is now unstoppable.

Even someone as powerful as Fang Daoquan has already reached the level of a half-step second-grade grandmaster.

Faced with his swordsmanship, they had no power to resist or fight back.

Moreover, from his later conversation with Zhou Sheng, he could tell that even Zhou Sheng couldn't see through his swordsmanship.

In that case, it's sufficient at the skill level.

As for the Dao, it is the foundation of martial arts, the elevation of one's realm, and the evolution of life.

His next step is to complete nine blood transfusions and enter the realm of martial arts legend.

Faced with this goal, he could only temporarily put aside the further improvement of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

After all, his day only has twelve two-hour periods, not twenty-four.

Time is limited, so choices must be made.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1] [.]

As time passed, drops of sweat rolled down, falling to the ground and spreading out as water stains.

Every drop of sweat that falls is a testament to the results of his hard work.

In the blink of an eye.

The bright moon rises, and the night gradually grows cooler.

However, wisps of white smoke kept rising from Jiang Ning's body.

If you get even slightly closer, you can feel the immense heat emanating from his body.

next moment.

His lips moved slightly.

Two light footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.

After a few breaths.

Two graceful, tall, and slender maids came to the front of Jiang Ning.

"grown ups!!"

"grown ups!!"

The two maids bowed gracefully.

"Prepare my bathwater!" Jiang Ning ordered.

"Yes, sir!" the two maids replied quickly.

Then he hurriedly left.

Jiang Ning continued to mobilize his Qi and blood throughout his body to repeatedly temper and cleanse his skin.

With each training session, his physical fitness gradually improved.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

【…】

After a long time.

The two maids came to Jiang Ning again.

"Sir, the bathwater in the shower room is ready!"

Hear the words.

Jiang Ning continued to circulate Qi and blood, refining the skin membrane.

[Indestructible Vajra Body Experience Points +1]

Until I saw that notification flash before my eyes again.

Only then did he calm his internal energy and stop practicing the corresponding movements of the Vajra Indestructible Body.

As his movements changed, his muscles suddenly rippled like coiled dragons, exuding power.

“Let’s go!” Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" the two maids replied hastily.

Then, the two of them followed behind Jiang Ning.

……

bathroom.

As soon as I pushed open the bathroom door, steam billowed out like a waterfall.

As Jiang Ning stepped inside, he saw flower petals already scattered in the pool and steam filling the entire bathhouse.

"My lord, let us do it!" Seeing Jiang Ning's actions, the two maids quickly spoke up.

Then, Jiang Ning glanced at the two maids and nodded slightly.

A short lesson.

Jiang Ning leaned against a corner of the bathhouse.

Two maids, dressed in thin, plain clothes, entered the pool.

As her white dress became wet, her shapely figure became vaguely visible.

In terms of aesthetics, the beauty of mystery is the most attractive and the most captivating.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but glance at them twice before settling down to enjoy the back massage from the two maids.

He felt no psychological burden regarding this enjoyment.

Although I haven't been in this world for very long.

But he never had the idea that everyone should be equal.

Equality for all has always been just a slogan, never a reality.

In a previous life, it was impossible to achieve the same level of existence for six hundred million people.

In this world, as martial arts improve, there are huge differences in levels between different lives.

In severe cases, reproductive isolation between species may even occur.

How could he possibly understand those slogans that only exist in ideals?

……

Less than half an hour later.

He came out of the bathroom.

She wore a silver-white brocade robe and an exquisite silver mask on her face.

His attire was exactly the same as it had been before he took action.

Behind him, two maids had also finished dressing.

The pure white long dress accentuated her beautiful figure.

"What time is it now?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Reporting to Your Excellency, it is five quarters past 7 PM!” a maidservant replied.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately nodded.

"Let's go then, it's time to attend the victory celebration!" he said.

“Yes, sir!” the two maids bowed and replied.

Then, taking small, quick steps, he followed closely behind Jiang Ning.

Just as I stepped out of the courtyard, two more maids came towards me.

"My lord!" The two maids bowed to Jiang Ning upon seeing him.

"Did the Marquis summon you?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Yes, sir!” the two maids replied hastily, then said, “The victory banquet is about to begin, and the Marquis has instructed us to invite you to attend.”

"Understood!" Jiang Ning nodded immediately upon hearing the words of the two maids in front of him.

“Lead the way!” he said again.

"Yes, sir!" the two maids replied.

……

After a while.

A celebratory banquet at the Marquis's residence.

"The lord has arrived!!" A voice suddenly rang out from outside the banquet hall.

At the banquet.

Upon hearing this title, the people of Juntian City looked towards the banquet entrance with confusion.

Then, a brightly lit and magnificent banquet hall was seen at the entrance.

A tall, imposing man, dressed in silver-white clothes and wearing a silver mask, appeared.

The moment they saw the man in the silver mask, everyone immediately understood who this newly appeared man was.

That was a terrifyingly powerful figure who, with just one sword, slew a half-step second-grade grandmaster.

He is a swordsman who can kill one person with a single sword strike and easily break through blockades.

"Your Highness, come, sit here!" Upon seeing Jiang Ning's arrival, the Marquis in Purple Robes immediately rose from his seat and gestured for Jiang Ning to sit in the seat next to him.

Upon seeing Zhou Sheng, the Purple-Clad Marquis, make such a move, many figures at the banquet immediately stood up.

"I have met His Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!!"

"..."

First, a group of people saw Jiang Ning's arrival and Zhou Sheng's behavior, and then stood up to greet him.

Once half of the people behind stood up, the rest exchanged glances and then also stood up.

When 70-80% of the people had stood up to greet them, the remaining people also had to stand up to greet them.

If they didn't get up to greet them, they worried they would stand out too much.

"Lord Marquis!" Jiang Ning greeted Zhou Sheng with a cupped hand.

"Thank you for your help today, Your Highness. Please take a seat!" Zhou Sheng spoke again, then gestured for Jiang Ning to sit in the empty seat next to him.

Jiang Ning also knew why Zhou Sheng addressed him as His Highness, because it was a misunderstanding and misleading statement made by Zhou Sheng about others.

He also knew that once he put on these clothes, coupled with the way the Purple-Clad Marquis addressed him, almost no one would doubt that his identity as a prince was genuine.

He then took an empty seat.

"Your Highness, let me offer you a toast. I am so grateful to you today!" Feng Zhen raised his cup to Jiang Ning in gratitude.

"You're too kind, Master Feng!" Jiang Ning also picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the drink entered his stomach, his eyes lit up.

Because he felt a significant amount of energy from the alcohol.

Is the Marquis really that rich?
Each table was equipped with this expensive beverage.

Then, after taking another look, he realized that the drinks on the other tables were not exactly the same as his.

The only drinks available at the other two tables at the head of the table could compare to the one in his hand.

The other two were Zhou Sheng, the Purple-Clad Marquis, and Feng Zhen, the Deputy Director of the Inspectorate.
