Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

"I wonder... with my Cloud Formation and Rainfall Divine Skills, can I disperse this cloud layer?"

...

On the other side.

"Brother Li, help me gather the clothes and quilts, the weather doesn't seem right!" Liuu Wanwan spoke.

"Alright!!" Jiang Li nodded cheerfully.

...

Dongling City.

Built leaning against Yishan Ling.

On a rocky hill.

A middle-aged man in a grey robe and a young monk in a white monk's robe sat cross-legged on the rocks playing chess.

"Master Jin Chan, how about changing the place for chess?" Zhao Yulong said.

"Why?" the young monk asked.

"The weather is changing, there might be wind and rain!" Zhao Yulong replied.

"Grandmaster Zhao, you're too attached!" The young monk smiled: "If there is no wind and rain in your heart, then naturally there is no wind and rain in the world."

Zhao Yulong heard and nodded thoughtfully.

"Grandmaster Zhao, just kidding!!" The young monk chuckled.

Zhao Yulong: "..."

At this moment.

The young monk suddenly spoke seriously: "Grandmaster Zhao, feel the baptism of wind and rain, feel the nature of the world. This will help you understand the Unity of Heaven and Man."

"I've learned!" Zhao Yulong showed gratitude.

The young monk came here under the command of an abbot from Vajra Temple to learn Zhao Yulong's famous technique, the Canglong Strike.

Now the young monk repays him by guiding him to understand the Unity of Heaven and Man.

This made Zhao Yulong feel deeply grateful.

Seeing Zhao Yulong's expression, the young monk couldn't help but smile.

"Grandmaster Zhao, this coming storm is just right, it will allow the grandmaster to fully experience the power of nature, feel the power of the heavens and earth!"

"Moreover, playing chess in the storm brings a unique conception, doesn't it?"

Zhao Yulong, upon hearing this, nodded slightly.

"Master Jin Chan makes a good point!!"

As soon as the words fell.

A shaft of sunlight fell on Jin Chan's shiny head.

Then, the sunlight quickly expanded.

In an instant, the entire rock was enveloped in bright sunlight.

Zhao Yu lifted his head and looked up at the sky, momentarily taken aback.

He saw that the clouds above, which had been continuously gathering, were now quickly dispersing.

Rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating various corners of Dongling City.

"The weather changes so fast!!" Zhao Yulong couldn't help but express his amazement.

Then he focused: "Something's not right!"

"Grandmaster Zhao also notices something unusual?" said the young monk.

"Yes!" Zhao Yulong nodded.

Then continued: "This wind direction, this climate, the cloud layer shouldn't scatter like this!"

Upon hearing this, the young monk also nodded immediately: "Moreover, the speed at which the clouds disperse is too fast, too unreasonable! It must be a Great Divine Power manipulating the heavenly phenomenon of Dongling City!"

"It seems that Master Jin Chan and I have reached the same conclusion!" Zhao Yu's expression became serious.

Upon hearing this, the young monk did not comply, but instead spoke.

"Previously, elders in the temple told me that nowadays, someone is manipulating changes in climate and heavenly phenomena to weaken the country's fate. I didn't expect to see such a Great Divine Power in action in Dongling City today."

"Master Jin Chan, is Vajra Temple involved in what you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this.

The young monk looked towards Zhao Yulong.

"Grandmaster Zhao, your question is too direct! As one of the inheritors of Vajra Temple, can you really get a truthful answer from me?"

Zhao Yulong replied: "I heard that monks should adhere to precepts, not speak carelessly. I believe Master Jin Chan's words, but whether Master Jin Chan chooses to discuss this matter is also Master Jin Chan's freedom."

The young monk looked seriously at Zhao Yulong and then shook his head slightly.

"I can only tell Grandmaster Zhao that I do not know if anyone from the temple has participated in the matter."

"Thank you, Master Jin Chan, for being frank!" Zhao Yulong said.

As they spoke.

The cloud layer above them had completely dispersed.

Zhao Yulong looked up at the blue, clear, and unobstructed sky.

"Also, I wonder where that Great Divine Power is, and what purpose they have for dispersing the clouds and changing the heavenly phenomenon? Whether they are friend or foe?"

...

East courtyard.

Feeling the sunlight pouring down, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile with joy.

"It indeed works!"

At this moment, his face was slightly pale.

Dispersing all the clouds above Dongling City was somewhat strenuous for him now.

He also felt a slight stinging sensation in his mind, which was a sign of spiritual power exhaustion, being overstrained.

"But, it's worth it!" Seeing the weather change above, from cloudy to overcast to clear and cloudless, made Jiang Ning feel it was truly worth it.

Then.

He quickly took off a layer, wearing only a pair of big shorts, and jumped directly into the lake.

The icy lake water soaked his whole body, suddenly making him feel much more invigorated.

Then, he felt the lake water nourishing him, the spiritual power he had just consumed was recuperating rapidly, and the piercing pain in his mind also lessened.

He immediately squinted his eyes, quietly feeling the recovery of his body.

At this moment.

He felt several cold touches on his back.

Even without opening his eyes, he knew it was that Dragon Carp.

He suddenly closed his eyes and waved his hand to shoo away the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp then transformed into a rainbow haze, circling around Jiang Ning.

Looking left, looking right.

Then it darted into Jiang Ning's chest, gently sucking.

The next moment.

Whoa——

Water splashed up.

The Dragon Carp was knocked out of the lake, tracing a perfect parabola in the air.

"Go find your mother!!!" Jiang Ning's tone was full of annoyance.

The Dragon Carp on the shore heard this, quietly flapped its fins, inching towards the lake shore, then returned to the water.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning no longer paid attention to what had just happened, instead focused his attention back on the great sun overhead.

The time had already reached the period between 9:00 a.m and 11:00 a.m.

He also felt that the spiritual power he had just expended had recovered a lot.

Then he leapt out of the water, landed on the shore, and sat cross-legged at the original place.

Assuming the posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven.

After adjusting his state slightly, he started the breathing technique of Inner Elixir Cultivation facing the great sun above.

With each breath in and out.

A thread of crimson great sun essence fell from the clouds, instantly landing in the courtyard where Jiang Ning was.

...

On the other side.

Bai Mansion.

Bai Luoyu's residence.

He looked up at a spot five hundred meters away.

Only to see crimson rays falling from above, entering the building where Jiang Ning was.

"Breathing and swallowing the Great Sun Essence Qi, it looks like Brother Jiang is practicing Inner Elixir Cultivation again!"

"Breathing in the Great Sun Essence Qi at 9:00 a.m -11:00 a.m, it shows that Brother Jiang's Inner Elixir Cultivation is only at small success, his inner breath has not transformed. It seems I can take the fourth grade step faster than him!"

Thinking of this, Bai Luoyu couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

Soon, the smile turned bitter.

Just a moment ago, he was proud of his martial arts progression leading Jiang Ning.

The next moment he thought of Jiang Ning's days of practicing martial arts and his current age.

Bai Luoyu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"I pride myself as a top prodigy of the current era, yet my heart compares myself with Brother Jiang."

"I am already over thirty, while he is not yet of age. Comparing, I am lost completely."

...

East courtyard.

As threads of crimson Great Sun Essence Qi were refined by Jiang Ning.

The experience value of Inner Elixir Cultivation skill continued to increase.

As noon approached.

Jiang Ning directly stopped the breath and refinement of Great Sun Essence Qi.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation (small success 4895/5000)

Seeing the display on the panel, only one hundred and five experience points left to Great Success in Inner Elixir Cultivation, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face.

"Tomorrow will be the day of Great Success in Inner Elixir Cultivation, also the time for my inner breath to break through and transform!"

"After the breakthrough tomorrow, Fifth Grade will be considered Perfection, and I should fulfill the conditions to step into Fourth Grade!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel endlessly joyful.

Although stepping into Fifth Grade hasn't been long.

He felt like he had stayed at this level for a long time.

After all, from the day of dual cultivation of inner and external, it was considered the start of cultivation practice.

Fourth Grade.

Once stepping into Fourth Grade.

I would have no fear of Xiao Qiushui.

If Yu Manyun, that mad woman, doesn't know when to retreat, I'll send her on her way!

A trace of killing intent instantly flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

He also couldn't help recalling when he saw Wang Jin, the injuries Wang Jin had suffered.
