Chapter 305: Point Addition, Soaring Power

Chapter 305: Point Addition, Soaring Power

Inspection Office.

"Sir, are you done?" Xie Xiao Jiu heard footsteps and looked up to see Jiang Ning walking into the courtyard. She quickly stood up from beside the charcoal fire.

Today's weather was bitterly cold, and outside, thick snowflakes were falling.

She had just stepped into the Seventh Rank, and it was impossible for her to be unaffected by the cold or heat.

Moreover, as a martial artist, she wore very little, just two layers of clothing.

In this weather of minus ten to twenty degrees, she naturally felt cold.

"You're still here!" Jiang Ning saw Xie Xiao Jiu crouching by the charcoal fire in her thin dress, and suddenly felt a sense of pity for her, as if she was exuding an inexplicable melancholy.

Xie Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "Sir asked me to wait for you inside the room, so I've been waiting here for you all this time."

"So, if you don't come back for a day, you'll wait here for a whole day?" asked Jiang Ning.

"I'll wait for a day!" Xie Xiao Jiu calmly nodded.

Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback and then shook his head with a smile.

Then, he continued, "How is the Xie family doing now?"

"Thanks to your magnanimity, Sir, the Xie family has completed the process of rectifying the chaos and is now back on the right track!" Xie Xiao Jiu's expression was filled with emotion.

In these past days, no one understood the Xie family's actions better than her.

Xie Zheng Tian had shown great resolve during this time, not compromising due to external pressures and consistently sticking to his previous decisions.

This made her view her stepfather in a new light.

As the clan leader, Xie Zheng Tian was very competent.

However, as a father and husband, Xie Zheng Tian was far from competent.

Thinking about the conversations they had in recent days and the words he said, Xie Xiao Jiu felt pressured whenever she thought of Jiang Ning.

At the same time, Jiang Ning nodded, "It's good that things are back on track!"

Then he said, "Do you want to go home? I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Sir!" Xie Xiao Jiu replied.

A moment later, the two of them walked out of the Inspection Office.

Xie Xiao Jiu wore a black fox fur coat, while Jiang Ning was still dressed as he was in spring and summer, in a thin long-sleeved shirt.

Having reached this stage, he was already truly unaffected by the cold or heat.

No matter how drastic the temperature changes or how harsh the weather, it no longer affected him.

Outside the Inspection Office.

The snow was still falling heavily.

Xie Xiao Jiu's head quickly accumulated a layer of white snowflakes, while Jiang Ning's head remained free of any falling snow.

The two of them walked out of the main gate of the Inspection Office and headed towards the carriage that had been waiting outside for a long time.

He climbed into the carriage, and Lu Yi heard the noise outside and stood up from the book she was holding.

Then she saw Jiang Ning pushing aside the carriage curtain, and Lu Yi crouched down to help Jiang Ning remove his shoes.

"Young Master, are you done?" Lu Yi asked.

At this moment, she noticed Xie Xiao Jiu, who was reaching out to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded, "I'm done!"

After taking off his shoes, he stepped onto the soft carpet inside the carriage.

Xie Xiao Jiu, standing behind him, spoke to Lu Yi, "Thank you!"

Then she bent down to enter the carriage, took off her black fox fur coat, hung it on one side of the carriage, and also removed her shoes, revealing her socks.

On the side.

Jiang Ning had already come to the charcoal stove inside the carriage and started a fire. He rubbed his palms together, looking content.

Then he noticed that Lu Yi and Xie Xiao Jiu had also taken off their shoes inside the carriage.

He couldn't help but think of Li Qing.

"It's a good thing Li Qing isn't here; otherwise, I wouldn't dare let her take off her shoes!"

"It's also good that the carriage is spacious, so three people aren't too cramped."

At the same time.

The carriage began to move.

The White Snow Crimson Flame Horse, now possessing spiritual intelligence, needed only a command from Jiang Ning to take him wherever he wanted to go.

Inside the carriage.

As the carriage started moving, Lu Yi brought over the warm tea she had been holding.

"Young Master, please have some tea."

"Mhm!" Jiang Ning nodded, his left hand still by the fire, occasionally turning over his palm to feel the heat from the burning charcoal.

Then, with his right hand, he took the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea.

So comfortable!

This kind of life was indeed quite good!

Sitting by the fire, drinking the slightly hot tea, Jiang Ning immediately felt content.

Especially outside the carriage, where the heavy snowfall created a peaceful atmosphere, making one feel at ease.

This feeling seemed to allow one to forget all worries.

Meanwhile, on the side.

Lu Yi and Xie Xiao Jiu secretly sized each other up.

Although the two had met before, they had never been in such close quarters.

Jiang Ning stoked the fire for a while and saw Xie Xiao Jiu huddled in a corner.

He adjusted the charcoal, turning it over to provide ample oxygen, and the fire burned even brighter.

"You two, come over here by the fire! In this weather, sitting so far away, aren't you cold?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, the two of them immediately moved their bottoms and sat next to Jiang Ning.

As she moved, Xie Xiao Jiu's toes accidentally touched Jiang Ning's foot, and her face turned slightly red.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also felt a bit awkward.

Jiang Ning nodded, "I'm done!"

After taking off his shoes, he stepped onto the soft carpet inside the carriage.

Xie Xiao Jiu, standing behind him, said to Lu Yi, "Thank you!"

Then she bent down to enter the carriage, took off her black fox fur coat, hung it on one side of the carriage, and also removed her shoes, revealing her socks.

On the side.

Jiang Ning had already come to the charcoal stove inside the carriage and started a fire. He rubbed his palms together, looking content.

Then he noticed that Lu Yi and Xie Xiao Jiu had also taken off their shoes inside the carriage.

He couldn't help but think of Li Qing.

"It's a good thing Li Qing isn't here; otherwise, I wouldn't dare let her take off her shoes!"

"It's also good that the carriage is spacious, so three people aren't too cramped."

At the same time.

The carriage began to move.

The White Snow Crimson Flame Horse, now possessing spiritual intelligence, needed only a command from Jiang Ning to take him wherever he wanted to go.

Inside the carriage.

As the carriage started moving, Lu Yi brought over the warm tea she had been holding.

"Young Master, please have some tea."

"Mhm!" Jiang Ning nodded, his left hand still by the fire, occasionally flipping his hand to feel the heat from the burning charcoal.

Then, with his right hand, he took the teacup and drank a mouthful of tea.

So comfortable!

This kind of life was indeed quite good!

Especially outside the carriage, where the heavy snowfall created a peaceful atmosphere, making one feel at ease.

This feeling seemed to allow one to forget all worries.

Meanwhile, on the side.

Lu Yi and Xie Xiao Jiu secretly sized each other up.

Although the two had met before, they had never been in such close quarters.

Jiang Ning stoked the fire for a while and saw Xie Xiao Jiu huddled in a corner.

He adjusted the charcoal, providing ample oxygen, and the fire burned even brighter.

"You two, come over here by the fire! In this weather, sitting so far away, aren't you cold?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, the two of them immediately moved closer and sat next to him.

As she moved, Xie Xiao Jiu's toes accidentally touched Jiang Ning's foot, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also felt a bit awkward.

For powerful martial artists, their keen observations are unparalleled.

The slightest change in one's gaze can easily be noticed.

To prevent any unexpected incidents and avoid being discovered by Hong Minghu, Ye Qiu, and the others, he decided to check his panel.

As his gaze fell upon his panel, he instantly noticed a change.

The Divinity Points, previously only two, had now increased to fifteen, a total gain of thirteen points.

This was the most significant growth he had ever experienced.

The most noticeable change, however, was in the two Authorities on his panel.

The progress of Blood and Flesh Regeneration had increased from ten percent to thirty-seven percent.

Aside from this, the Authority of Divine Descendant showed the most significant transformation.

The originally severely fragmented Authority shard had now become a fragmented shard with progress displayed.

This indicated that the Authority of Divine Favor could be enhanced by allocating Divinity Points, leading to its completion.

Based on his previous experience, when a fragmented Authority breaks through a stage, it becomes partially complete, and the next stage is when it reaches the current state of his Blood and Flesh Regeneration Authority, which is half-complete.

"It seems that Li Hong holds an extraordinary position in the Worship God Sect, and the blood and flesh in the golden box are also extraordinary."

Afterward, he looked at his panel again, and a thought crossed his mind.

Allocate points!

Instantly, the Divinity Points on the panel decreased by one.

【Divinity】: 14

【Authority】: Blood and Flesh Regeneration (Half-Complete 37.66%) Divine Descendant (Fragmented 36.3%)



One Divinity Point increased the progress of the Divine Descendant Authority by a third.

Another thought crossed his mind.

Allocate points!!

Instantly, the Divinity Points on the panel decreased by two.

And his Authority welcomed a new breakthrough.

【Divinity】: 12

【Authority】: Blood and Flesh Regeneration (Half-Complete 37.66%) Divine Descendant (Partially Complete 1.1%)



【Divine Favor】: Blood Blessing, can greatly enhance the physical strength of descendants, the stronger the Divine Lord, the greater the enhancement to the descendants' bodies.

The explanation had changed again.

Then he glanced at his Divinity Points once more.

Another thought crossed his mind.

The Divinity Points decreased by one again.

【Divinity】: 11

【Authority】: Blood and Flesh Regeneration (Half-Complete 37.66%) Divine Descendant (Partially Complete 11.1%)



Indeed!

Just like before, at this level, one Divinity Point could increase the progress by ten percent, completing one-tenth of the Authority at this level.

The next moment,

Without hesitation, the Divinity Points on the panel rapidly decreased.

【Divinity】: 1

【Authority】: Blood and Flesh Regeneration (Half-Complete 37.66%) Divine Descendant (Half-Complete 0.4%)



In just a few breaths, the completion progress of the Divine Descendant Authority caught up with Blood and Flesh Regeneration.

Jiang Ning looked at the panel's description once more.

【Divine Favor】: Blood Blessing, can greatly enhance the physical strength of descendants, the stronger the Divine Lord, the greater the enhancement to the descendants' bodies, allowing control over Divine Descendants.

The description hadn't changed much, only emphasizing two additional words.

However, this also showed that as the Authority was completed, the effects it could produce became more apparent.

"I wonder what effect it has now?" Jiang Ning looked at his current panel, a question forming in his mind.

The next moment,

His gaze fell upon Lu Yi, who was beside him.

"Let's try it on Lu Yi and see the effects now!"

His gaze lingered on Lu Yi for a long time, catching her attention.

"Young Master!" Lu Yi looked at Jiang Ning, her expression filled with confusion.

Xie Xiao Jiu, who was sitting beside them with her head resting on her knees, also turned to look.

Noticing Lu Yi's gaze, Jiang Ning made a decision.

He forcefully drew his fingernail across his palm, only to find, to his embarrassment, that his nail couldn't even break his skin, leaving only a white mark.

He smiled awkwardly.

Then, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the spiritual weapon reappeared.

Seeing this, Lu Yi immediately understood. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth towards Jiang Ning, like a small beast begging for food.

At this moment, Jiang Ning effortlessly broke his skin, and vermilion blood flowed from the knife wound.

He flicked his wrist, and a few drops of blood flew into the air, entering Lu Yi's mouth.

Beside them, Xie Xiao Jiu silently observed their actions.

Seeing their perfect coordination without a word, she felt a twinge of jealousy.

Then, as if remembering something, her eyes dimmed.

The next moment,

"What is it, Young Master?" Xie Xiao Jiu asked, her expression hesitant.

"A method to enhance others' physical bodies," Jiang Ning replied, seeing Xie Xiao Jiu's hesitation.

"Consuming your blood can enhance one's physical body?" Xie Xiao Jiu was taken aback, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Immediately, she noticed a change in Lu Yi.

Lu Yi's skin turned red, and her body began to radiate an astonishing amount of heat.

At the same time, she heard the gurgling sound of Lu Yi's blood and the rapid beating of her heart.

Hearing such unusual movements, Xie Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in disbelief.

She was close to Lu Yi and could clearly feel Lu Yi's rapid growth, which gradually put pressure on her.

The emergence of this pressure is a natural feedback from the body, indicating that Lu Yi has begun to pose a preliminary threat to her.

She could sense that Lu Yi, who was like a tiger cub just a moment ago, was now rapidly growing into her prime.

This growth was astonishing.

Xie Xiao Jiu turned to Jiang Ning.

"Sir..." She slightly opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"What do you want?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Is it possible...?" Xie Xiao Jiu inquired.

"If you swallow my blood, you will be completely under my control!" Jiang Ning revealed the truth.

"I've been longing for this!" Xie Xiao Jiu exclaimed, raising her head to look at Jiang Ning, her chin lifting slightly.

"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded. "Open your mouth."

Xie Xiao Jiu closed her eyes and opened her mouth, just as Lu Yi had done earlier.

Jiang Ning, seeing the recovering wounds on his hand, exerted a little more force, creating another cut.

With a wave of his hand, a dozen drops of blood instantly flew straight into Xie Xiao Jiu's mouth.

After that, Jiang Ning noticed Xie Xiao Jiu's face turning crimson, with sweat forming on her forehead.

"Sir, I want to take off my clothes!" Xie Xiao Jiu pleaded, looking uncomfortable.

Beside them, Lu Yi's collar was wide open, revealing her heaving chest.

Jiang Ning glanced at her twice before standing up.

"I'll go outside."

Jiang Ning lifted the heavy, wind-blocking curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

The cold wind outside calmed the heat in his heart, gradually soothing him.

"I wonder how effective my blood and flesh are now?" He muttered to himself.

Recalling the scenes of Lu Yi and Xie Xiao Jiu, a smile formed on his lips.

"It seems I'm almost becoming a Tang monk, but a poisonous one!"

He sat down on the ground outside the carriage and picked up the horsewhip from the carriage.

Snap!

He lightly waved the whip, causing the air to crackle and produce a crisp sound.

The two white snow crimson flame horses, hearing the sound of the whip, shivered their four legs and then took a step forward.

"Laziness is indeed the nature of all things!"

He smiled.

Turning around, he looked at the carriage behind him.

Then, he rubbed his cheeks and muttered, "My face is still not thick enough!"

Although he had no intention of getting married yet, he appreciated beauty.

"Forget it, a knife hanging over the head of lust. It's better to focus on improving my strength! After all, in this chaotic world, if my strength is insufficient, I'll become a drifting reed in the wind, and that's not good!"

After that, a white light flashed in his hand, and the tiger bone that Hong Ming Hu had given him reappeared.

"Is it worth eleven thousand taels of silver, is it real or fake?"

"It's true. The patterns contained in this bone, using the game's understanding as an analogy, are skills, or in other words, martial techniques."

"A Fifth Rank Warrior's martial technique, and it's not a consumable item. It's a tiger bone that can be passed down through generations, so its value is definitely not small. For a Fifth Rank Warrior, eleven thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but it's not that exaggerated!"

"With this item, I can make up for the gap in my Essence Energy Points."

【Essence Energy】: 1518.67

【Skill】: Five Beast Fist (Four Times Limit Break 1323/5000) (Characteristics: Five Viscera Essence Storage, Five Elements Spirit, Fist Technique Master, Bear-Tiger Body)



The Five Beast Fist was not far from the Fourth Limit Break, needing less than four thousand experience points.

With his current talent in fist techniques, practicing the Five Beast Fist efficiently, he would only need about half a month to gain enough experience for the Fourth Limit Break.

For him, half a month was not a long time.

Previously, the challenge was obtaining two thousand Essence Energy Points for the Fourth Limit Break of the Five Beast Fist.

The remaining four hundred Essence Energy Points were not easy to acquire.

But now, it was different.

By selling the tiger bone given to him by Hong Ming Hu, he would have enough wealth to buy the Heaven-sent Treasures, thus increasing his Essence Energy Points.

Even now, the various places in Luo Shui County could no longer satisfy his need for Heaven-sent Treasures.

Because previously, he had bought up most of the stock in Luo Shui County.

And now, due to this harsh winter, even the Ten Thousand Flowers Tower had no supply channels, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were sitting and waiting for the snow to melt.

However, this was not a problem for Jiang Ning.

If Luo Shui County couldn't satisfy his needs, other counties could, and Dongling City could even more so.

After the spring thaw, he could go to Dongling City if necessary.

Moreover, in just over a month, the first step of the Martial Imperial Exams, the Tongshi, would be held to determine the Martial Scholar title.

Now that he had joined the Inspection Office, with an official position, the title would be extremely important for his future.

Therefore, he wanted to participate in this Martial Imperial Exams and go to Dongling City.
