Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Bai Mansion.

After returning home briefly, Jiang Ning took some items and headed towards Bai Luoyu's mansion.

The two families were only about five hundred meters apart.

After walking a few steps, Jiang Ning arrived in front of Bai Luoyu's mansion.

"Gentlemen, please announce me!" Jiang Ning clasped his hands.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't need an announcement; I'll lead the way!" one of them said.

"Thank you very much!" Jiang Ning replied.

Entering the front courtyard of Bai Mansion, after just a few steps, the guard martial artist asked a maid that they happened to meet to inform Bai Luoyu in advance.

A moment later.

The back courtyard of Bai Mansion.

"Brother Jiang!!" Jiang Ning had just stepped into the back courtyard when he saw Bai Luoyu smiling as he walked towards him.

"Brother Bai!!" Jiang Ning responded with a smile.

"What's this??" Bai Luoyu's gaze fell on the fish meat Jiang Ning was holding, showing a look of surprise.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning raised the fish meat in his hand and waved it in front of him.

"Previously at Luoshui Lake, I slayed a Fish Demon with over two hundred years of Dao practice. Today, I specially brought it for Brother Bai to taste."

"Over two hundred years of Dao practice, this is indeed a rare item!!" Bai Luoyu's eyes lit up.

Then he smiled: "Since this is Brother Jiang's kind gesture, I won't refuse."

After saying this, he took the electric eel meat from Jiang Ning's hands and called a maid over.

"Here, please prepare it for me!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Yes, Master!!" the maid bowed.

"Brother Jiang, please have a seat!" Bai Luoyu gestured with his hand.

At this moment, two jugs of wine were already prepared in the pavilion of the back courtyard.

Bai Luoyu continued: "I hope Brother Jiang doesn't mind; I didn't know you were coming, which resulted in good dishes not being prepared. For now, I can only offer good wine! As for the dishes, the kitchen is rushing them, and they'll be served later."

Jiang Ning smiled: "Brother Bai is being too polite! I barged in unexpectedly; it's me who should apologize!"

After finishing.

Jiang Ning continued: "Thank you, Brother Bai, for today!"

"What's this!" Bai Luoyu chuckled: "We are good friends, after all. I just made an appearance! Moreover, looking back, I didn't need to intervene at all. If Brother Jiang wanted, the Liuu family could have been flooded with blood today. With any excuse, the Liuu family would become part of Dongling City's history."

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"The Liuu family is my elder sister-in-law's family, and also my nephew's and niece's grandparents' home, some things need to be considered."

Upon hearing this.

Bai Luoyu laughed heartily: "Brother Jiang is indeed a man who values emotions and relationships. No wonder he's my friend!"

While talking, the two had already taken their seats.

"I offer a toast to Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu spoke.

After drinking a glass of wine.

Jiang Ning poured wine for both of them again.

"Brother Bai, I offer this toast to you. My elder brother and elder sister-in-law's family thanks you for taking care of them in the past few days."

After finishing the second glass.

Bai Luoyu began to speak: "It's nothing! If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to assist."

"With Brother Bai saying this, I offer another toast to Brother Bai!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoyu laughed.

Without refusing, he drank it all in one go.

After three glasses.

Bai Luoyu looked contemplative: "Brother Jiang, I never expected you to have over sixty years' worth of power."

Jiang Ning was not surprised that Bai Luoyu knew about this.

The inner breath he released earlier at the Liuu family was partly to intimidate them and exert pressure.

On the other hand, it was also to show himself to Bai Luoyu.

He understood that friendships between people rarely have pure intentions; especially in the beginning, they often start due to benefits.

Just as a wealthy businessman seldom befriends a beggar.

Among adult friends, over ninety percent are people on the same level.

Bai Luoyu having such a relationship with him isn't simply due to a pleasant appearance.

Therefore, in the Liuu family just now, he decided to reveal his total amount of inner breath.

Then.

"Having such power, it is really down to luck!" Jiang Ning continued: "Earlier, I found a Fish Demon with over two hundred years of Dao practice in Luoshui Lake."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu immediately looked as if he suddenly understood and pondered: "Could it be the Fish Demon's accompanying Heavenly Materials?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"I see!" Bai Luoyu exclaimed with realization, then nodded: "It makes sense; without such rare treasures, how could a place like Luoshui Lake have a demon over two hundred years of practice in this environment?"

At this point, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning with envy.

"Brother Jiang truly has luck and fortune, to find such treasures by chance."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

"Thinking back, it was indeed good luck!"

"I wonder what kind of treasure Brother Jiang found at the time, enabling such a significant improvement in power."

"Thunder Fruit, Hundred-year-old Thunder Fruit!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Such a treasure!!" Bai Luoyu's eyes immediately showed intense envy.

He now knew why Jiang Ning's power at this age surpassed his.

"The Hundred-year-old Thunder Fruit once appeared at a Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion auction, where a one hundred fifty-year-old Thunder Fruit was sold for five thousand taels of gold."

"Five thousand taels of gold?!!" Jiang Ning was stunned.

"Indeed!" Bai Luoyu nodded, then smiled: "Doesn't the price seem exaggerated?"

"It does!" Jiang Ning slightly nodded: "It feels a bit excessive! Five thousand taels of gold equals five million taels of silver; is the Thunder Fruit really that valuable?"

Bai Luoyu said: "Such precious and rare items cannot actually be valued merely by wealth! You must know, Great Xia has ruled for over eight hundred years, with many noble families accumulating wealth over dozens of generations. For them, wealth is already nearly equal to a mere number."
