Chapter 401: The Divine Power of the Heaven's Eye

Chapter 401: The Divine Power of the Heaven's Eye

After leaving the Bai Family Mansion, Jiang Ning spent his journey deep in thought, contemplating ways to obtain more Source Energy Points.

Breaking through the limit of Literacy required 10,000 Source Energy Points, but in his opinion, this expenditure was still extremely worthwhile as long as he had enough Source Energy.

The importance of Spiritual Power was undeniable.

The previous transformation of his Spiritual Power had allowed him to sense his own soul, and he could feel that if his Spiritual Power grew stronger, he might be able to make further progress.

One couldn't become a big fat man in a single breath, and his martial arts prowess also needed to be improved step by step.

One day, he would break free from his cocoon and become a butterfly.

Upon returning home, he began to take stock of his current wealth.

Dongling City was far richer in resources than Luoshui County.

As long as he had money, he wouldn't lack Heavenly Treasures and Miracle Elixirs that were rich in energy for the time being.

After a moment, he had finished taking inventory of his wealth.

He still had over a hundred Credits.

As for Merit Points, he had over twelve million.

He also had gold and jewels worth more than two hundred thousand taels, which were his previous gains from Luoshui Lake.

Then he took inventory of the valuable items on his body.

A tiger bone containing Divine Patterns, given to him by Hong Ming Hu.

An electric eel bone, also containing Divine Patterns, obtained from killing a loach demon with over two hundred years of cultivation in Luoshui Lake.

And a tortoise shell with over three hundred years of cultivation.

As he laid these items in front of him, Jiang Ning quickly finished his inventory.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the Wanbao Pavilion auction while I was in prison. These gold and jewels could have bought me many Heavenly Treasures, or even ancient immortal treasures!"

"And these two bones should fetch a good price when sold!"

Jiang Ning shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

The next moment, he called for Lu Yi.

"Young Master!"

Lu Yi approached him and gave a slight bow.

"Take these items to Wan Hua Tower and sell them, and exchange them all for Fetus Yuanqi Pills!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Lu Yi took the items from Jiang Ning.

A tiger bone, an electric eel bone, and a three-hundred-year-old tortoise shell.

As for the Credits and Merit Points, he would have to go and exchange them in person.

The same went for the two hundred thousand taels of gold and jewels.

Ten taels per catty, ten thousand taels equaled ten thousand catties.

If most of the two hundred thousand taels of gold and jewels hadn't been in the form of gold and jewels, he wouldn't have been able to carry them all, even with the Xumi Ring.

"Let's see how much growth in Source Energy Points my entire net worth can bring!"

"If it's still not enough, I'll go and see if Wang Qingtan can lend me some more."

Jiang Ning had already made up his mind.

Since the only thing lacking for breaking through the limit of Literacy was Source Energy Points, he decided to do his best to gather one hundred thousand Source Energy Points and let Literacy break through the limit for the tenth time.

The transformation of Spiritual Power would also have a significant impact on his strength.

After Lu Yi left, Jiang Ning removed his clothes and entered the lake, wearing only a pair of knee-length shorts.

The lake water gradually submerged his entire body, instantly making him feel nourished all over.

The constant throbbing pain in his mind also eased considerably.

At the bottom of the lake, a rainbow-colored carp appeared beside him.

It was none other than the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp swam around him, flapping its tail fins and constantly blowing bubbles, as if it was complaining to him.

Looking at the Dragon Carp, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"I've been neglecting you these past few days!"

He tapped the Dragon Carp's forehead and could sense a sense of intimacy from it.

He knew that this was the effect of their bond deepening.

"Go and call the old tortoise over!" Jiang Ning said in the water.

The next moment, the Dragon Carp flicked its tail fin and darted through the water like a rainbow, disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.

In less than a moment, the sound of splashing water echoed through the lake, and the splashes wet the goose-feather stones and the flowers and leaves by the stream in the courtyard.

"Master, you finally remembered me!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile at the local accent of the speaker.

Then he asked, "Have you been guarding the safety of my home these past few days?"

"Of course!" The old tortoise replied, continuing, "I, the old tortoise, am now the guardian spirit beast. Protecting the young master is my duty."

After saying this, he chuckled at Jiang Ning and said, "I just hope that the master will give me some..."

His front limbs rubbed against each other in a human-like manner.

"Catch!" Jiang Ning said.

With a thought, he forced blood out of his body, and then with a flick of his finger, blood beads shot towards the old tortoise.

Ahh—

Ahh—

Ahh—

The old tortoise opened its mouth wide, swallowing even the lake water as it devoured the blood beads.

In an instant, several blood beads that didn't dissolve in water were swallowed by it.

"So hot!"

"Master, what did you feed me?"

Hearing this annoying voice, Jiang Ning kicked it away.

"Go and guard my family well, and I won't mistreat you!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, Master!" The old tortoise replied from mid-air as it flew out of the lake.

Then, Jiang Ning turned his gaze to the Dragon Carp.

Compared to the old tortoise, the Dragon Carp seemed rather useless.

Despite its outstanding bloodline, its innate cultivation was too shallow, and its strength was weak.

It was far less powerful than the old tortoise.

In front of the Dragon Carp, even a sixth-grade martial artist would have a hard time.

Even a seventh-grade martial artist would struggle to deal with it.

However, Jiang Ning didn't mind keeping a seemingly useless fish demon like this.

Jiang Ning's Dragon Carp bloodline was extraordinary, with immense potential.

One day, she would surpass and lead ahead of the old turtle.

Moreover, it was pleasing to look at, which was also a benefit.

Being able to provide emotional value was useful.

He extended his right finger, and a drop of blood condensed on its tip.

The Dragon Carp flicked its tail fin, propelling its body forward.

Slurp, slurp, slurp! After feeding it a few drops, Jiang Ning stopped.

"Go digest it yourself!" Jiang Ning tapped her head.

"Okay!" The Dragon Carp emitted a crisp and cheerful sound, flicking its tail fin, and instantly disappeared from sight.

A moment later.

Jiang Ning emerged from the lake.

After being nourished by the lake water, his unusual state vanished, and he returned to his peak condition once more.

"Bai Luoyu just said that according to the Jiandian Si's monitoring, a powerful master is manipulating the celestial phenomena, dispersing the clouds and rain."

"Based on the recent climate changes, this matter is likely to be true."

He had also felt the moisture and humidity in the air increasing.

When it came to sensing moisture, in Dongling Jun, he was second to none.

"Since that's the case, let's investigate the four directions!"

"If I can resolve this matter and report it, I should be able to earn some contribution points!" Jiang Ning's heart stirred.

He joined his fingers together and wiped his forehead.

In an instant.

A white vertical line appeared on his forehead.

Bright and dazzling light emanated from the line, resembling smoke and clouds.

He swept his gaze, instantly piercing through layers of obstacles and rapidly scanning every inch of the area.

After an incense stick's worth of time.

No good!

He shook his head and looked up at the sky.

I need to think of a way! His mind stirred slightly.

The sky began to show subtle changes.

The wind gradually grew stronger.

Clouds started to gather from a distance.

"I want to see how this rain will change in an hour!" Jiang Ning smiled.

He put on the clothes he had left by the lake.

Sanyuan Taoist Temple.

Located in the Dongling Mountains, it was an ordinary temple with moss-covered steps.

The temple was deep and quiet.

A yellow-robed Daoist sat in meditation on a Buddhist cushion, his chest rising and falling, clearly in the midst of breathing exercises.

Something's wrong! The yellow-robed Daoist suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.

Under his gaze, he could see that the sky was gradually changing.

The wind grew stronger and more urgent, and strands of white clouds began to increase.

A moment later.

As the white clouds gathered and piled up, their color gradually deepened.

"The weather is about to change!" The yellow-robed Daoist exclaimed.

He slowly stood up.

"This rain must not fall!" he muttered.

Then, his body moved.

Instantly, he arrived at the altar.

On the altar, there were still incense, offerings, talismans, and scriptures.

And standing upright was an altar for the Rain God.

The yellow-robed Daoist waved his hand, and three incense sticks were instantly lit.

Thin blue smoke rose slowly.

He performed a kowtow to the altar of the Rain God.

Then, he picked up the scriptures and recited them slowly.

Sentence after sentence of abstruse and incomprehensible words poured out of his mouth.

Without a single mistake, he recited the words fluently.

When he finished reciting, he performed another kowtow to the altar of the Rain God.

Then, he lit the talismans, expressing his request.

As the spells burned and the blue smoke rose, reaching the Nine Heavens.

The sky began to undergo mysterious changes.

On the other side.

Jiang Ning opened his Heavenly Eye, observing the surroundings, he could see various colors of energy flowing in the void.

Soon.

He noticed the anomaly in the Dongling Mountains.

"Sanyuan Taoist Temple!"

He muttered.

His gaze fell on the yellow-robed Daoist, piercing through his entire body.

Then, his eyes narrowed.

Divine Muscle and Jade, Five Zang Thunder Sound, Fourth Grade Daoist Master!

This person was the biggest problem! His gaze shifted to the Prayer for Rain Platform, observing its layout and scriptures.

"It's most likely this person!" He muttered, having already made his judgment.

At this moment.

The yellow-robed Daoist was unaware that his deep concealment had been discovered by Jiang Ning.

He saw the weather above changing again.

The wind gradually subsided, and the clouds slowly dispersed.

A smile appeared on his face.

"With this matter resolved, Dongling will be saved from the flood, and the national destiny of Daxia will be enhanced. I, the old Daoist, should be able to make further progress!"

A moment later.

The clouds and wind shifted.

The weather returned to a bright and sunny state.

Such changes were not unexpected to Jiang Ning.

The sundial indicated that it was approaching noon.

At noon, it was a crucial time for him to absorb the Sun Ray Energy and cultivate the Inner Elixir Health Art.

As a cultivation technique surpassing the upper-level martial arts realm, the Inner Elixir Health Art was of utmost importance.

Once he achieved perfection and ingested a golden pill, he would reach the level of controlling his destiny.

He could sense the spiritual essence of heaven and earth and grasp the key to becoming a Heaven Human Grandmaster.

Thus, the significance of the Inner Elixir Health Art was unquestionable.

【Technique】: Inner Elixir Health Art (Great Achievement 1013/10000)



Due to his imprisonment in the county prison, where he was deprived of sunlight, he couldn't absorb the Sun Ray Energy, hindering his progress in the Inner Elixir Health Art.

Therefore, the experience points for the Inner Elixir Health Art had remained at the same level as when he entered the prison, barely surpassing a thousand points.

He had achieved only a tenth of the progress.

Just then.

Footsteps approached from afar.

Lu Yi soon appeared in his sight.

"Young Master!"

"How is it?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Everything went smoothly! The price should be fair.

Lu Yi began to speak, "The tiger bone with the divine pattern has been sold."

Jiang Ning interrupted her, "No need to go into such detail!"

"How many Fetus Yuanqi Pills did you exchange it for?"

"I got fifteen Fetus Yuanqi Pills in total, Young Master!" Lu Yi replied, taking out two jade bottles containing the pills from her bosom.

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

Based on his previous experience, the fifteen Fetus Yuanqi Pills would not only significantly increase his cultivation but also earn him nearly two thousand Source Energy Points.

"Refining these fifteen pills, it's not difficult to exceed three thousand Source Energy Points, and it's highly likely to reach three thousand five hundred!"

"With this, we've achieved approximately three-tenths of the one million Source Energy Points required."

Jiang Ning secretly calculated, putting the two jade bottles into his bag.

As noon approached, he adjusted his state and assumed the Five Hearts to the Sky posture.

The next moment, he faced the sun, his eyes narrowing slightly.

With each breath, a strand of fiery red glow descended from above his head.

The glow instantly traversed through layers of void, entering his abdomen through his nasal cavity.

The noon sun's essence energy was extremely domineering, emitting a terrifying amount of heat.

Ordinary Fourth-Grade cultivators, without precious external assistance, would be unable to refine even a trace of the noon sun's essence energy, and their five organs would be burned, leading to organ failure.

However, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, and his condition even improved.

The enhanced Waterfire Immortal Robe made it easier for him to handle the situation, feeling relaxed and at ease.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled the turbid qi from his abdomen.

It was simple!

He knew that this was the change brought about by the enhanced Waterfire Immortal Robe.

[Waterfire Immortal Robe (First Break)]: Possessing the Waterfire Immortal Robe, one can avoid and fear neither water nor fire, using them to one's advantage.

After the enhancement, the flames not only posed no threat to him but also became a source of replenishment, just like how he was in water.

With each breath:

[Inner Elixir Health Art Experience Points +1]



[Inner Elixir Health Art Experience Points +1]



[Inner Elixir Health Art Experience Points +1]



[.]



The experience points for the Inner Elixir Health Art were gradually increasing.

His condition improved, and he felt refreshed, without any discomfort from refining the sun's essence energy or the pain of tempering his five organs.

Even so, he could clearly sense that his five organs were slowly strengthening.

As he refined the glow, his cultivation also increased gradually.

Until the hour of the goat, the yang energy in the world was still weak, and the yin energy gradually grew stronger. Jiang Ning then stopped refining the sun's essence energy.

He opened his eyes, and his eyes shone with vigor, his spirit full of vitality.

[This session of refining the sun's essence energy increased the Inner Elixir Health Art experience points by a total of 125.]



[Technique]: Inner Elixir Health Art (Great Achievement 1138/10000)



After checking his panel, he nodded and closed it.

With today's efficiency, he would reach the completion of the Inner Elixir Health Art in just over two months.

In other words, at the very least, in two and a half months, he would be able to enter the ranks of the Heaven Human Grandmaster.

With such efficiency, how could he not be satisfied?

He then took out two bottles of Fetus Yuanqi Pills.

Opening them all, he scanned them, and as Lu Yi had said, there were indeed fifteen pills in total.

Previously, the accumulation of medicine toxins had been severe! But as his Bone Marrow Refinement progressed, many of the medicine toxins had been resolved.

Refining these fifteen pills shouldn't be difficult! Jiang Ning thought, and began to swallow the pills.

As he refined each pill, his cultivation gradually increased.

At the same time, he also felt the accumulation of medicine toxins.

Medicine is three parts poison.

Not to mention such domineering pills with such potent effects.

These medicine toxins were extremely intense and stubborn.

Even with the purification from Bone Marrow Purification, he still felt a strong accumulation of toxins in his body.

The toxins spread throughout his body.

After refining all fifteen Fetus Yuanqi Pills, Jiang Ning felt the accumulation of medicine toxins in his body intensify again.

"Taking medicine requires moderation!"

"It's best to use all-natural, unprocessed heavenly treasures, as they work better for me!"

Feeling the changes in his body, he sighed inwardly.

When he refined those heavenly treasures before, he hadn't felt such an accumulation of toxins.

But when he consumed and refined a large number of Fetus Yuanqi Pills, even with the Medicine King Valley's furnace and pill refinement secret technique, he still felt the accumulation and stubbornness of the toxins.

However, in order to quickly reach ten thousand Source Energy Points, he had no other choice.

He could only do this for now.

Moreover, the purification from Bone Marrow Refinement could wash away the accumulation of medicine toxins, which made him feel much more at ease.

[Cultivation]: 143 (141→143)



"My cultivation increased by two years!"

He glanced at his panel and then closed it.

The reason Fetus Yuanqi Pills were so favored by him was because their effects were extremely suitable for him.

Not only could they increase his cultivation, but the effects were also apparent, and they significantly boosted Source Energy Points.

Their cost-effectiveness far surpassed most of the pills and heavenly treasures he had tried.

Only the so-called ancient immortal treasures could surpass them in cost-effectiveness.

Thinking of ancient immortal treasures, his heart stirred.
