Chapter 354: Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation, Fifth Rank Rough Interpretation

Chapter 354: Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation, Fifth Rank Rough Interpretation

Administration Office.

Sunlight streamed through small holes in the upper part of the wall, creating visible columns of light within the building.

Dust, like fine golden sand, danced within the beams.

Below.

"Speak, what brings you here?" White Grandma asked.

Jiang Ning replied, "I'm going to the Martial Academy for further studies, and I need you to provide me with an identity token to enter the Academy."

"That's easy!" White Grandma said, then glanced at Su Zhi.

The managers of this place were the three Marquis, and she was just a paper figure born to toil.

Upon seeing White Grandma's gaze, Su Zhi nodded slightly.

White Grandma then said, "Come here, young man!"

"Yes, Senior!" Jiang Ning responded respectfully.

He approached the counter.

A token instantly appeared in White Grandma's hand.

The token was only palm-sized.

It was entirely vermilion.

On the front of the token were the three characters 'Holy Warrior Manor'.

"Take it and drip your blood to recognize the master!" White Grandma instructed, "With this token, you can freely access any part of the Martial Academy, attend lectures by various teachers, and even visit special buildings like the Martial Refinement Tower!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Drip blood?

He glanced at the token in his hand.

Then, he suspended his right-hand finger in mid-air.

A drop of dark red blood instantly condensed on his fingertip and then fell onto the token.

The next moment, he saw his blood drop onto the token, disappearing instantly, as if it had fallen into water.

A flash of light then passed over the token in his hand.

He instantly felt a sense of familiarity with the token.

It was as if this token had accompanied him for many years, becoming something so familiar that he couldn't imagine otherwise.

Then, he saw a number '0' appear on the token.

"There you go!" White Grandma said, "After dripping your blood, this token records your aura, and it also serves as your pass to access all areas of the Martial Academy."

"Senior, what does this number '0' mean?"

Jiang Ning showed the token in his hand to White Grandma.

"It's simple!" White Grandma explained, "Whether it's in the Martial Academy, the University, or the Dao Palace, the currency is no longer gold and silver, but study points."

She then pointed to the number displayed on Jiang Ning's token.

"This token is crafted using a special technique, an ancient immortal's artifact-forging method. It has the ability to record auras and track your study points."

"The number '0' represents that you currently have zero study points."

At this point, White Grandma suddenly smiled sinisterly.

"Do you want to recharge?"

"Can I recharge study points here, Senior?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.

"Of course!" White Grandma continued, "The establishment of the Patrol Office has received strong support from the Holy Warrior Manor! Whether it's the Martial Academy, the University, or even the Dao Palace, they are all subordinate institutions of the Holy Warrior Manor."

"In terms of status, this Patrol Office is considered higher than the Martial Academy here."

"I have the authority to recharge your study points, consuming contribution points to do so."

"This path is also for those in the Patrol Office who come from humble backgrounds, providing them with systematic training to broaden their horizons and take them further on their martial path."

"Through systematic training, one can expand their knowledge and go further on the path of martial arts."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

Just as White Grandma had said, the establishment of the Patrol Office had indeed received strong support from the Holy Warrior Manor.

The fact that the highest authority in the Patrol Office was the Holy Warrior himself was a testament to its status.

In this situation, the Martial Academy, the University, and the Dao Palace naturally became one of the benefits for those who joined the Patrol Office.

This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Ning had chosen the path of the Patrol Office.

It's better to seek shelter under a big tree.

The Holy Warrior Manor was the biggest tree in the Xia Dynasty.

The Holy Warrior was the largest tree in the entire world.

Normally, given his background, once he missed the age requirement, it would have been almost impossible for him to enter the Martial Academy to study and broaden his horizons.

However, things were different now.

As long as one was a member of the Patrol Office and had sufficient contribution points, they were eligible to enter the Martial Academy, University, or even the Dao Palace for systematic training and to gain knowledge.

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

"Senior, I want to recharge study points," Jiang Ning said.

White Grandma nodded with a smile, "One study point is consumed for one day of study! I can tell you that under normal circumstances, one study point is required for one day of study."

"So expensive?" Jiang Ning's expression showed surprise.

"There's a reason for the price!" White Grandma explained, "In Dongling Prefecture, no sect can compare to the Martial Academy within the city! All the martial arts secrets that sects have, the Martial Academy also possesses, and even those that sects don't have, the Martial Academy still does."

"Aside from martial arts secrets, the Martial Academy also has many other great things."

"Take the Martial Refinement Tower, for example, where you earn study points for each level climbed and receive special rewards."

Upon reaching the ninth level, it signifies that you have the strength of a graduate from the Wu Yuan, and the special rewards you obtain will be even greater."

At these words, Jiang Ning's heart filled with anticipation.

Although it was expensive, spending a day at the Wu Yuan, required a thousand taels' worth of credits.

However, for him, it was well worth it.

After all, despite his current progress, he was still an outsider, and the difference between his background and those who graduated from the Wu Yuan was significant.

It wasn't just about the martial arts techniques, but also the understanding and knowledge they gained.

By entering the Wu Yuan, he could supplement his own shortcomings.

Moreover, he was also very interested in the special building that White Grandma had mentioned.

Just then, White Grandma spoke again, "Oh right, the token you hold allows you free access to the Wu Yuan, not the temporary study qualification obtained through contribution points."

Jiang Ning turned to look at White Grandma.

He now realized that the token in his hand had such an effect.

Previously, White Grandma and Bai Luoyu had mentioned that he could obtain this token based on his achievements.

If he chose the sixth-rank Commandery Commander position, he would gain the qualification to study at the Wu Yuan, and all expenses would be waived.

But he had chosen the second path, the Inspectorate path.

He became a candidate Inspector, just like Bai Luoyu.

However, if he passed the assessment, he could transition from a candidate to a formal Inspector, just like Bai Luoyu.

Since he had chosen this path, the benefit of free access to the Wu Yuan was naturally gone.

Unexpectedly, he had gained this benefit today.

Jiang Ning cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior."

"Don't thank me!" White Grandma shook her head and continued, "It's Lady Su who just nodded in agreement."

At these words, Jiang Ning turned to look at Lady Su, whose eyes now had fish tails.

"Thank you, Lady Su!"

Lady Su smiled and said, "It's just a small gesture within my power!"

Jiang Ning expressed his gratitude again.

Then he turned to White Grandma, "Senior, I'll exchange for some credits!"

"One hundred credits, one hundred thousand contribution points!" White Grandma said.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning took out a spirit stone jade pendant representing one hundred thousand contribution points from his ring.

White Grandma took the spirit stone and also received the token from Jiang Ning's hand.

She wiped her hand over the token, and the number on it, which was previously zero, instantly changed to ten.

"Take it!" White Grandma tossed the token back to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at the changing numbers on the token.

"It's quite magical!"

"There are many more magical things you'll encounter in the future!" White Grandma said, "In ancient times, many magical treasures were crafted, and even in this era, many of them can still be used. Since you're from a small county, you naturally wouldn't have the opportunity to witness such things."

Jiang Ning nodded, indicating that he had learned something new.

Then he said, "Senior, I want an item list, and I'll spend some contribution points to exchange for some items to enhance myself."

"Take it!" White Grandma held a book in her hand and threw it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at the cover of the book.

【Eighth-Rank Permission List】

Seeing this, he immediately looked up.

"Senior, I already have eighth-rank permissions."

"Eighth-rank?" White Grandma's expression turned to one of surprise.

Jiang Ning took out the Heavenly Scroll.

The Heavenly Scroll was a unique token of the Inspectorate, and it symbolized the sixth-rank position.

"The Heavenly Scroll?" White Grandma looked at Jiang Ning with a surprised expression.

Then she took out another book and threw it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning exchanged the previous Eighth-Rank Permission List for the new book.

【Sixth-Rank Permission List】

The version without errors is 69 book bar read! 6=9 book_ bar first release novel.

Compared to the previous 【Eighth-Rank Permission List】, this 【Sixth-Rank Permission List】 was significantly thicker.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face.

With this book, the over one million three hundred thousand contribution points he currently possessed would finally be put to good use.

Moreover, he would also learn how to advance to the fourth rank in martial arts, and even higher.

The next moment, Jiang Ning looked at Lady Su and Bai Luoyu.

"Lady Su, Bai Brother! I need some time, you two don't have to wait for me, I can do it alone!"

Lady Su immediately nodded, "Alright, go ahead and choose, I'll be on my way!"

After saying this, she turned to Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu also smiled and said, "Do your thing, Jiang Ning!"

Soon, after bidding farewell to Jiang Ning, Lady Su and Bai Luoyu left the Administration Office.

Jiang Ning stood in his original spot, quickly flipping through the pages of the book, searching for the items he needed.

On the book.

Even with a quick glance, he saw many divine treasures he hadn't encountered before.

For example, the Departing Fire Scripture.

Valued at three hundred thousand contribution points.

The book also contained a simple record of a superior martial art, originating from the top-tier force, Lihuo Sect. It was their signature martial art, and upon mastering it, one could grasp the Lihuo Force, allowing them to incinerate the internal organs with a single palm strike, turning people into mummies.

One such example was the King of Hell's Worry.

It was a type of pill.

Worth fifty thousand contribution points.

Regardless of the severity of the injury, even if the heart was shattered or the arms were broken, a single pill could regenerate severed limbs and grant a new life.

So expensive!

Jiang Ning silently complained to himself.

But he also felt that it was indeed worth the price.

A superior martial art, thirty thousand contribution points.

It was equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver or three hundred taels of gold.

Three hundred taels of gold was only a fraction of the assets of wealthy merchants.

However, even with three hundred taels of gold, they couldn't buy a single superior martial art.

As for the King of Hell's Worry, a pill worth fifty thousand contribution points, it was as precious as an extra life.

Forget about fifty thousand contribution points.

Even if it were twice the price, it would still be worth it for the wealthy.

Life is priceless!

An extra life is invaluable!

As he quickly flipped through the pages, he soon found what he was looking for.

【Fourth Rank Marrow Refinement Realm Essence Interpretation】

【Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm Basic Understanding】

These two were worth one thousand and five thousand contribution points, respectively.

"Not expensive at all!"

Jiang Ning silently nodded in agreement.

With these expensive items as a reference, he suddenly felt that what he needed most urgently wasn't that costly.

Then his gaze fell on the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm Basic Understanding, and he felt a bit dissatisfied.

Basic Understanding.

The meaning of these two words was evident; this interpretation of the Third Rank Master was not detailed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning looked up at White Grandma.

"Have you decided, young one?" White Grandma asked.

"Senior," Jiang Ning replied, "Why is there only the Basic Understanding of the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm and not a Detailed Interpretation?"

"It's simple," White Grandma explained, "The Blood Exchange Realm doesn't deserve a Detailed Interpretation. The path to becoming a Master is extremely precious, so the interpretation of the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm can only be called a Basic Understanding. It's meant to give you a general understanding of the Third Rank Master."

"I see," Jiang Ning nodded in realization.

He realized that his previous thoughts were off.

Initially, he thought the Basic Understanding referred to the introduction of the Third Rank Master.

In actuality, the Basic Understanding didn't include the path to becoming a Master, hence the name.

Jiang Ning immediately said, "Senior, I want the Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation and the Third Rank Basic Understanding first."

As his words fell, Jiang Ning took out the jade pendant worth six thousand contribution points from the Infinite Storage Ring.

White Grandma glanced at it, and the jade pendant Jiang Ning placed on the table disappeared before her eyes.

"Wait here, I'll go and get it for you!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Ning said.

Then his gaze returned to the book in his hand.

He still remembered that before coming to Dongling City, he had accumulated approximately one hundred and forty-three thousand contribution points.

To obtain learning points for martial arts, he spent ten thousand contribution points.

Now, after acquiring the Fourth Rank Marrow Refinement Realm Essence Interpretation and the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm Basic Understanding, he looked at the book in his hand.

He still remembered that before coming to Dongling City, he had accumulated approximately one hundred and forty-three thousand contribution points.

To obtain learning points for martial arts, he spent ten thousand contribution points.

Now, after acquiring the Fourth Rank Marrow Refinement Realm Essence Interpretation and the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm Basic Understanding, he looked at the book in his hand.

He recalled that before coming to Dongling City, he had accumulated around one hundred and forty-three thousand contribution points.

To obtain learning points for martial arts, he spent ten thousand contribution points.

Now, with the Fourth Rank Marrow Refinement Realm Essence Interpretation and the Third Rank Blood Exchange Realm Basic Understanding, he glanced at the Infinite Storage Ring.

After a quick scan, he nodded.

Then his gaze returned to the page in front of him.

He quickly skimmed through the pages, skipping the two pages that recorded the cultivation techniques.

Learning too many techniques was meaningless for him now.

Learning each technique meant increasing the number of his skills.

Advancing in any technique required time.

The more techniques he learned, the more time he needed.

After all, he only had twenty-four hours in a day, not forty-eight.

Nevertheless, his gaze lingered on the two techniques.

【Inner Core Cultivation Technique】

【Vajra Indestructible Body】

These two techniques still attracted his attention.

Because these were the techniques he was currently cultivating.

He flipped to the page corresponding to the Inner Core Cultivation Technique.

His eyes quickly scanned the page, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his mind.

On the page.

The Inner Core Cultivation Technique he could exchange for was only at the Great Accomplishment Realm, the same realm he was just one step away from.

【Skill】: Inner Core Cultivation Technique (Great Accomplishment 489/500)



He glanced at his status panel and then closed it.

Then, looking at the page's description, he shook his head.

It required six hundred thousand contribution points to exchange for the method to cultivate the Inner Core Cultivation Technique to the Great Accomplishment Realm.

"I have to thank Shen Congyun for who I am today!"
