Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Their strength was limited; facing the enemies they had provoked, they had no ability to protect themselves or fight back.

Although Old Turtle was only a minor demon with over two hundred years of Dao, even such a demon was quite extraordinary today.

From the power displayed by the electric eel, Old Turtle's strength was comparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of the Sixth Rank.

Such strength was considered remarkable nowadays.

Not to mention that he could further cultivate and enhance its power.

Possessing the control ability of the Divine Descendants Favored, as long as he was alive, he wasn't afraid that Old Turtle would betray him.

As his thoughts flowed,

Jiang Ning was holding a wine pot, filling the bowls in front of himself and Jiang Li.

At that moment,

Old Turtle raised its head, and its eyes instantly widened.

It saw countless silver stars twinkling in the wine, which were highly attractive to him.

This scent had been by its side for over two hundred years; how could it not recognize it?

"Master, I want to drink too!" Old Turtle immediately stretched out its neck.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning picked up the wine pot again.

"Sir, let me do it!"

Lv Yi hurriedly stood up nearby.

"Sure!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Lv Yi picked up the warmed wine pot and approached Old Turtle.

"Thank you, ma'am! You look so beautiful and kind-hearted; surely you must be a virtuous and gentle lady!"

Having just heard Lv Yi address Jiang Ning, and having lived for over two hundred years, Old Turtle, although rarely interacting with human society, was well aware that the green-clad young lady was a servant by their master's side.

As the saying goes, a servant in a high official's house is akin to a high-ranking officer.

Being a servant by their master's side, that position must certainly be special.

Thus, Old Turtle started to praise.

Lv Yi's lips curved into a slight smile.

After pouring a full bowl of wine,

Old Turtle immediately stuck out its head and took a big slurp.

The scent of Emperor's Liquid in the wine left it utterly intoxicated.

It suddenly felt that this leisurely, pleasant life wasn't too bad.

No need to live in constant anxiety in the lake.

Having lived in the lake for over a hundred years, it had witnessed no less than ten instances of danger.

Especially recently, it had encountered a Great Demon, White Chi, a Great Demon possessing the bloodline of an Ancient White Chi, boasting over a thousand years of Dao.

Both times, it had felt the approach of death.

It was precisely because of encountering White Chi twice that it felt utterly insecure.

To enhance its ability to protect itself, it had risked venturing into Thunder Flood Dragon Electric Eel's territory, aiming to seize the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures guarded by the electric eel and thereby increase its own Dao and self-protection capability.

Now, although it had chosen a master, knowing Jiang Ning's strength, it harbored no thoughts of rebellion.

For the Demon Clan, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is a norm; loyalty to a stronger leader isn't a disgrace.

Especially since it knew that Jiang Ning's blood contained miraculous power that could swiftly enhance its Dao, Old Turtle no longer had any second thoughts.

The banquet lasted two full hours.

Jiang Ning also nibbled his tongue while eating.

The flesh of ordinary electric eels was already delicious.

Not to mention a demonic electric eel with over two hundred years of Dao.

The elevation in the life form made the blood and flesh of the electric eel contain powerful energy, which was highly nourishing for the human body.

This also enhanced the deliciousness of the meat.

Making him feel that even without any seasoning, the mere grilled meat was particularly tasty.

Let alone now, after the culinary skills of Wanwan and various seasonings had been added, making the fish hotpot incredibly delicious.

...

Returning to the house,

the sky had already turned dark.

"Master!" Old Turtle looked at Jiang Ning with joyful eyes.

"Old Turtle, from now on, stay here and protect my family, alright?" Jiang Ning asked seriously.

He had always been deeply concerned about the safety of his brother and sister-in-law's family.

They were his only ties in this world, his roots.

Without this bond, he would feel no sense of belonging to this world.

The goodness of family is irrational, also the purest form of affection.

The kindness from others is always motivated, never as pure.

Just like Wang Jin.

If he were an ordinary person, just like those ordinary Outer Disciples in the Martial Arts Hall, would Wang Jin treat him so well afterward?

In pure affection, no one could compare to Jiang Li and Wanwan.

At the same time.

Old Turtle felt an inexplicable pressure as he looked toward Jiang Ning.

"No problem, my lord!" Old Turtle spoke up.

At these words, Jiang Ning smiled in relief.

Then, the Inner Breath surged within him, causing his blood to slowly seep out from his blood vessels and gather at his fingertips.

"Old Turtle, just now you were playing with my little niece, and this is your reward," Jiang Ning said.

Seeing this, Old Turtle quickly opened his mouth, his face filled with excitement.

During the day, he had personally experienced the magic of Jiang Ning's blood, which had increased his Dao by two years.

What kind of enhancement was two years of Dao?

You see, he had lived for over two hundred years, and his Dao had barely exceeded two hundred.

Normally, it would take two years to achieve such growth in Dao.

Yet, this day, he had achieved two years of Dao growth in a short time.

The next moment, drop after drop of blood entered Old Turtle's mouth.

Until Jiang Ning stopped feeding, Old Turtle closed his mouth and went to the side to quietly digest.

Jiang Ning also picked up books, reading alone.

His Experience Value in Reading and Writing also grew slowly.

...

The next morning at dawn,

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

[Source Energy]: 2793.67

"So much!!"

Seeing the change in the Source Energy Points, his pupils slightly constricted.

In one day, the Source Energy Points had increased by over two thousand.

This was completely beyond his expectation.

"Such fortune indeed!" Jiang Ning was filled with emotion in his heart.

Yesterday's gains came by chance.

Finding the Emperor's Liquid and the Taiyin Stone was a stroke of luck.

Finding the Thunder Tree through Old Turtle was another piece of good fortune.

Thinking of the Taiyin Stone, he immediately directed his spiritual power toward the Sumeru Ring in his hand.

He remembered that the Taiyin Stone underwent some changes yesterday.

The next moment.

A pebble-sized, dull black round stone appeared in his hand.

Had it fused?

He looked slightly surprised.

Then, after his spiritual power swept several times over the Sumeru Ring in his hand, he still saw no other form of Taiyin Stone.

He then examined the dull black round stone in his hand again.

The touch was cool, no different from an ordinary outdoor pebble.

In terms of texture and visual appearance, it was indistinguishable from a common stone.

If not for his knowledge of the magic of the Taiyin Stone, anyone else would fail to see its mystery.

Then.

He took out a larger-mouthed jug from the Sumeru Ring.

The previous jug was not wide enough and could not fit the larger Taiyin Stone.

After stuffing the three-in-one Taiyin Stone into the jug, it sank to the bottom.

Through the mouth of the bottle, he saw the originally ordinary-looking black round stone now emitting silver starlight; then, strands and threads of silver flowed out silently from the black stone, merging into the liquid in the jug.

"Three-in-one, its effects should be even stronger now!"

"If left for a sufficient amount of time, it should be able to condense into real Emperor's Liquid, gold-like Emperor's Liquid!"

He immediately stowed the jug away, planning not to drink the liquid inside for now.

Having tasted a strand of genuine Emperor's Liquid yesterday, combined with the drastic increase in Source Energy Points today, he couldn't help but take Emperor's Liquid more seriously.

Then.

He opened the panel again.
