Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

...

In the blink of an eye.

Night had fallen deeply.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

In the pitch-black night, however, his eyes shone brightly.

"A spiritual field with a radius of 376 meters, the Great Sun Visualization Diagram is indeed effective!!"

He then looked at his own panel.

[Skill]: Visualization (Beginner 63/1000)

His gaze swept over the panel and then closed it.

"Another skill that needs improvement, but it's not a problem."

"Killing two birds with one stone, not bad!"

He nodded immediately, expressing satisfaction.

In just half a day of visualizing the Great Sun in the Great Sun Visualization Diagram, his spiritual power rose to match the effect of those ten drops of Moonlight Dew.

He was naturally very pleased with this.

Especially when visualizing the Great Sun, he could simultaneously improve his visualization skill, making him feel extremely satisfied.

This skill, just to get started, requires a hundred points of Experience Value, similar to the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and Vajra Immortal Body.

From this alone, he could see the importance of the visualization skill.

The improvement of this skill instantly moved to the forefront of his mind.

"I wonder what trait enhancements the visualization skill will have if it breaks through its limit?"

He was somewhat looking forward to it.

...

The next day.

Opened his eyes.

Jiang Ning looked at his own panel first thing.

[Source Energy]: 4167.66

3533 to 4167?

He immediately recalled the number he remembered from the previous day, and he directly ignored the last two digits.

"An increase of over six hundred points?"

"Normally, ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood can also increase several dozen Source Energy Points."

"Looking at it this way, ten drops of Moonlight Dew brought me an increase of only over five hundred Source Energy Points."

"With ten thousand Contribution Points per drop, on average, ten thousand Contribution Points only give me an increase of fifty Source Energy Points, not even breaking a hundred."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

Trash!!

Too low cost-performance ratio!!

He then glanced at his own Sumeru Ring.

In the Sumeru Ring, only the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill and Strengthening the Foundation Pill were left unused.

Among them, the Strengthening the Foundation Pill was prepared for Wang Jin.

As for the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill, it was prepared for himself.

"I hope the cost-performance ratio of the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill is good!"

A jade pill bottle appeared in his hand, labeled with a sticker.

Embracing Fetus Qi Pill.

He glanced at the label on the jade bottle and put it away again.

Because it was not yet the time for him to swallow and refine the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill.

Having cultivated the habit over two lifetimes, he couldn't eat anything until he washed up after getting up in the morning.

Subsequently.

He dressed and got out of bed, opened the door.

Immediately saw the gloomy sky overhead.

Obviously, the weather was not good today, with clouds pressing down, looking like it was about to rain.

But Jiang Ning just smiled slightly and withdrew his gaze.

Yesterday, he had already tried dispersing the clouds; today, even if he saw this kind of weather, he was not panicked in the least.

When the time is about right.

He would naturally disperse the clouds above and not affect today's breakthrough in the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but glance at his own panel again.

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

The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was only 105 Experience Value away from Great Success.

For him, it was just a matter of breathing and releasing the Great Sun Essence Qi.

So today was precisely the point for his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill breakthrough to Great Success.

At the thought of this, excitement and anticipation surged in his heart.

He had waited too many days for this day.

...

After washing up.

Jiang Ning came to the lakeside, quickly locked onto the Old Turtle and Dragon Carp still in the lake water.

The next moment.

He picked up two stones from the ground.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

The stones flew through the air, accurately hitting different places in the lake where the Old Turtle and Dragon Carp were.

"Ouch—" a crisp sound rang out.

The Dragon Carp's tail suddenly flicked, splashing waves across the lake surface, and in a flash, it darted into the depths of the lake.

At this moment, the Old Turtle also slowly awakened.

"Master?" It was momentarily stunned.

Right then, a beautiful Dragon Carp slowly surfaced from the lakeside waters.

"Master!!" Linglong's clear voice echoed across the lake.

Seeing the two creatures awake, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

He beckoned with his hand.

"Come here!"

Then he blew a breath towards the stone steps by the lake, and instantly, the dust on them scattered, leaving them clean and dust-free.

Jiang Ning slowly sat down.

At this moment, waves splashed on the lake surface.

The Old Turtle paddled with its limbs like oars, as if gliding on the lake surface.

Ahead on the lake, the prettiest Dragon Carp occasionally blew bubbles towards Jiang Ning.

"Master!" The Old Turtle climbed the stone steps and came before Jiang Ning.

"Has your Dao progressed?" Jiang Ning asked.

At the same time, he dipped his fingers into the surface of the lake water, and the Dragon Carp affectionately rubbed against them.

Hearing this, the Old Turtle's long head nodded repeatedly.

"Master, my Dao has advanced, and now my Dao is two hundred and twenty-one years!"

"Two hundred and twenty-one!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself, and then asked, "What about before?"

"It was not even close to two hundred and ten years before." The Old Turtle replied.

Jiang Ning nodded immediately.

Knowing that his efforts from the previous day were not in vain, he helped the Old Turtle advance more than ten years in Dao.

This increase in Dao would also make the Old Turtle's strength much more formidable.

And this was just a negligible effort on his part, a secondary benefit while refining Hundred Spirit Blood.

Then Jiang Ning's gaze settled on the Dragon Carp in the lake before him.

"Master, my Dao has also increased significantly!" The Dragon Carp's voice was filled with pride.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

"How much is significant?"

"From twenty-five years of Dao to fifty years of Dao, a complete doubling!" The Dragon Carp's voice remained filled with pride.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He was not surprised that the Dragon Carp's Dao had increased more than the Old Turtle's.

The growth of Dao, like Martial Arts, was naturally more challenging the higher it went.

In the initial stages, increasing strength is simple, but the further one progresses, the slower and more difficult it becomes.

Having understood the strength of the two creatures, Jiang Ning instructed the Old Turtle to go to the courtyard where his elder brother and sister-in-law were.

"You can go play on your own too!" Jiang Ning tapped the Dragon Carp's head with his finger, then stood up.

Through this brief interaction, he felt that both the Old Turtle and Dragon Carp had significantly increased their trust in him.

At this moment.

The Dragon Carp watched Jiang Ning rise and leave the lakeside, flicked its tail, splashed up waves, and dove into the lake's depths.

...

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning glanced towards the courtyard where Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan stayed.

"I wonder what state my elder brother is in now after consuming the Rebirth Pill and that drop of purified Essence Blood yesterday?"

He looked in that direction, hesitated for a moment, and chose to temporarily give up the idea of going over to check.

Because it was still too early.

The sky was overcast with mist, all gray and cloudy.

Dongling City, being situated in hilly terrain, also had plenty of morning mist.

At this time, most people were not yet awake.

Only ordinary common folk needed to rise so early to earn a living, beginning their work.

He wasn't sure if Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan would be up so early.

Especially since the presence of this couple made it more inconvenient to disturb in the morning.

Afterward.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on a cushion.

The morning brought a mountain breeze tinged with moistness, which Jiang Ning found quite enjoyable, as he loved this refreshing mountain wind.

He then took out the jade bottle containing the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill once more.

Glancing at the label on the jade bottle, the information about the Embracing Fetus Qi Pill immediately surfaced in his mind.

This pill was a product of the Taoist Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

It was made by collecting a wisp of Essence Qi from within the Immortal Mountain at sunrise, along with Rootless Water and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, possessing the effect of increasing Inner Breath.

This was just one of the aspects he valued.

The more important aspect was that the ingredients of this pill all came from various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

And Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could bring him an increase in Source Energy Points.

So, for him, this pill had the effectiveness of achieving two goals with one effort.

"Hope the effect is good!"

He murmured, looking at the jade bottle of pills in his hand.

In the next moment.

He unsealed the bottle.

Instantly.

A rich medicinal aroma wafted towards him.

Upon smelling this scent, the Inner Breath in his Dantian immediately became more active.
