Chapter 425: Inspector Jiang! Divine Human Master!
2025-02-26
The next day.
After a night's rest.
The weather suddenly turned warm, and a fine drizzle fell from the sky.
The rain fell like spider silk, stirring up continuous ripples on the lake's surface.
By the lake, Jiang Ning clenched his teeth, continuing to maintain the 18th movement of the Goldenvolution Invencible.
Chi and blood tempered his silver membrane, and beads of sweat rolled off his body, making him seem like a blazing furnace emitting an astonishing amount of heat.
Lv Yi watched Jiang Ning, whose body was shrouded in rising steam by the lake, and waved her broom, sweeping away fallen flowers and leaves, cleaning up the courtyard from the ravages of yesterday's storm.
At this moment.
Beads of sweat rolled off Jiang Ning's body.
Occasionally, a faint golden light flashed by.
A moment later.
Hu—
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his stomach.
A gust of wind blew a yard away, carrying with it the tender leaves of early spring.
[Goldenvolution Invencible Experience +103]
[Technique]: Goldenvolution Invencible (High Level 9956/10000)
Glancing at the panel, a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.
Only one more round to go, and the sect's signature martial art from the Golden Temple would reach Perfection in his hands.
At this moment, looking back, such terrifying efficiency made him feel incredibly unreal.
But the feedback from his body and the changes in his silver membrane told him that he was about to break through.
He was about to complete the tempering of his Golden Body.
After that, he rested for a moment, and when his condition recovered, he once again assumed the corresponding posture, circulating his chi and blood to temper his entire silver membrane.
Time passed slowly.
The fine rain fell on his body, like drops on a scorching hot iron, constantly giving rise to rising steam.
Large beads of sweat rolled off his body, falling heavily to the ground.
In the bursting sweat, a flash of golden light passed by.
In less than a quarter of an hour, after completing the 18th movement.
[Goldenvolution Invencible Experience +99]
A prompt flashed before his eyes.
He suddenly looked at the panel.
[Technique]: Goldenvolution Invencible (Perfection 55/10000)
At this moment.
He felt as if countless ants were crawling beneath his skin, and a tingling sensation filled every inch of his silver membrane.
He knew that this was the final transformation of his silver membrane as he reached Perfection in the Goldenvolution Invencible.
He only needed to wait for the transformation to complete to achieve the so-called Golden Body.
He closed the panel and then spoke, "Little Green, is the bath water ready?"
Hearing this, Lv Yi, who was sweeping fallen leaves and branches in the courtyard, immediately looked up.
"Master, it's ready!"
She quickly put down her broom.
A moment later.
Leaning against the bathtub, Jiang Ning felt the warmth of the hot water, and his fatigue seemed to melt away.
Even with his physical strength, after such intense body tempering for nearly a day and night, he still felt exhausted.
Relying on the rain's nourishment, it could temporarily replenish his condition, but he would gradually feel that the sense of fullness was too superficial.
It was like an elderly man, no matter how well he took care of himself, could never compare to the physical state of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old.
"Master!"
As she saw Jiang Ning slowly closing his eyes, Lv Yi's movements became gentle as she washed his hair.
An ivory comb gently brushed through Jiang Ning's scalp.
On the other side.
The Bai Mansion.
When Bai Luoyu arrived at the backyard and saw the elegant middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, facing him, he couldn't help but tremble slightly and then respectfully bowed.
"I've seen the Ye Mansion Envoy!"
Facing this person, he couldn't help but show respect.
Because he recognized the man before him, named Ye Zhengqi, who was a genuine Divine Human Master and the fourth-grade Patrol Commissioner of Great Ring Commandery.
His status within Great Ring Commandery was as revered as his status in Dongling County.
Ye Zhengqi slowly turned around.
The fine rain in the courtyard had stopped the moment he arrived.
At this moment, as he turned, even without wind in the courtyard, his sleeves and flowing hair moved in the air.
"You've done well with the task assigned by the Heavenly Supervision Department!"
"That's what I should do!" replied Bai Luoyu.
In the Patrol Commissioner system.
There was no clear superior-subordinate relationship.
So, even in front of Ye Zhengqi, the Divine Human Master from the city, he didn't need to refer to himself as a subordinate.
Then, Bai Luoyu added, "Moreover, if we're talking about credit, it's not me but Jiang Ning who deserves it!"
"Jiang Ning? I know!" Ye Zhengqi nodded slightly and continued, "I came here because of him!"
Hearing this, Bai Luoyu was delighted.
He understood that Ye Zhengqi, the Divine Human Master, had come to find Jiang Ning for a reason!
It was to promote Jiang Ning, the county's Patrol Commissioner.
Once promoted, Dong Ling Cheng would have another Patrol Commissioner.
From now on, no matter what he does, he will have a backup plan.
"Your Excellency Ye, should I go and fetch Jiang Ning now?" Bai Luoyu asked.
"No need!" Ye Zhengqi shook his head, "There's no rush to see him yet!"
Then he asked, "Has he visited the Temple of Literature and paid respects to the sages?"
"He has!" Bai Luoyu nodded repeatedly.
Although he was curious about this matter, he didn't dare to ask further.
Soon after, he took out the books prepared in advance from the Sumeru Ring, which were meant for the Temple of Literature.
"Your Excellency Ye, please take a look!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Zhengqi raised his hand, and the purple-gold book flew into his hand from a distance.
Witnessing this, Bai Luoyu was slightly startled.
Ye Zhengqi's action didn't reveal any fluctuations, and he was completely unaware of it.
This meant that if Ye Zhengqi were to attack him, he wouldn't have any ability to retaliate.
Indeed!
A thought flashed through his mind, and he nodded secretly.
The Divine Human Master, if he wanted to take action against me, it would be as easy as pie.
After all, in the entire Great Ring Commandery, there were only a handful of people like Ye Zhengqi.
At this moment, Ye Zhengqi took the purple book that flew into his hand, and his gaze swept over it.
He then nodded slightly.
"Offering incense at the Temple of Literature, there must be official ranks! It meets one of the requirements! As for the strength, I'll verify it soon. If both conditions are met, I'll activate the Heaven's Seal for him, allowing him to officially become the third Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County."
"I'll thank Your Excellency Ye on behalf of Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu bowed in gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengqi's eyebrows slightly lifted, and he glanced at Bai Luoyu before closing the purple-gold book in his hand.
"Remember, don't engage in mutual protection or collusion! Otherwise, no one can protect you!"
"I understand, Your Excellency!" Bai Luoyu replied.
After their conversation ended, Ye Zhengqi tossed the purple book back to Bai Luoyu, who quickly caught it.
"White County Commissioner!" Ye Zhengqi spoke again, "Regarding the incident of the demon injuring people in Luo Water Lake, have you finished the statistics?"
"It's all done!" Bai Luoyu responded.
He took out a scroll from the Sumeru Ring: "Your Excellency Ye, please take a look."
Hearing this, Lin Zhengqi waved his hand, and the scroll flew into his hand from a distance.
He opened the scroll, glanced at it, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"One hundred and sixty people died? Is the record accurate?"
"Not a single one missing!" Bai Luoyu replied.
"There's such a vicious demon in Luo Water Lake!" Lin Zhengqi's eyebrows furrowed, and then he closed the scroll in his hand and looked at Bai Luoyu, "Have you found out what kind of demon it is, its cultivation level, and its strength?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu shook his head.
"We haven't found out yet! But we've already sent people to investigate!"
"We only know that those who have seen the demon face-to-face have been harmed, but some have seen its shadow in the water. It should be a python or a dragon!"
Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, Lin Zhengqi shook his head.
"It can't be a dragon! With the current environment, how could a small Luo Water Lake give birth to a dragon?"
"I guess it's a python with a high probability!"
After speaking, he threw the scroll in his hand to Bai Luoyu.
"I'll go to Luo Water Lake later to see if I can find that demon!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency Lin!" Bai Luoyu's expression brightened.
The latest news is that the investigation of the demon wreaking havoc around Luo Water Lake has cost his mansion two capable generals.
Now, with Lin Zhengqi's intervention, the chances of finding the demon are greatly increased due to his powerful perception as a Divine Human Master.
As long as things go smoothly, with Lin Zhengqi's action, the matter will be resolved, and he won't have to worry about it anymore.
After that, Lin Zhengdao said, "Go and fetch Jiang Ning! I'll meet him, confirm if he meets the requirements, and then I'll go to Luo Water Lake!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Bai Luoyu replied.
On the other side.
"Master, wake up!" A gentle call echoed in Jiang Ning's ears.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Lv Yi's face in front of him.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"White Patrol Commissioner sent someone to find you. They said an important figure from the city has arrived, and it's related to your appointment as a Patrol Commissioner!"
Lv Yi's words made Jiang Ning's eyes sparkle.
He stood up instantly.
Splash! Water splashed from the bathtub.
Lv Yi's face turned slightly red.
Jiang Ning quickly got out of the bathtub, wearing his bath pants.
Then, he circulated his True Energy, and the water stains on his body dried instantly.
"Little Green, help me get ready!"
"Yes, Master!" Lv Yi responded promptly.
She then took out the clothes that had been prepared earlier and helped Jiang Ning change.
Afterward, she straightened his wet and messy hair.
Bai Mansion.
Bai Luoyu and Lin Zhengqi sat facing each other, with a hazy, fine drizzle outside the pavilion. Inside, a small stove brewed a teapot, and the aroma of tea filled the air, accompanied by rising steam.
After a moment, the two looked towards the entrance of the backyard.
Soon, they saw Jiang Ning, dressed in white, appear in their line of sight, followed by a young lady in a green dress, walking closely behind him.
Jiang Ning's gaze swept across, noticing the two in the pavilion, and then he turned to speak to Lv Yi, who stopped at the entrance of the backyard.
After a moment, they arrived outside the pavilion.
"Brother Jiang, this is the Patrol Commissioner of Great Ring Commandery, Lin Zhengqi!" Bai Luoyu stood up and introduced them.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately bowed to Lin Zhengqi.
"Greetings, Sir Lin!"
"Please, take a seat!" Lin Zhengqi sat upright on the stone bench without standing up, speaking calmly to Jiang Ning.
"Yes, sir!" Jiang Ning replied.
The moment he saw this middle-aged, elegant man, he felt that he was no ordinary person.
With his powerful perception, he could sense an invisible pressure coming from this man.
As Jiang Ning took his seat, Bai Luoyu also sat down.
"Commissioner Lin, let me introduce you to Jiang Ning!" Bai Luoyu said.
"I know!" Lin Zhengqi nodded.
Then he looked at Jiang Ning.
"Originally, I wanted to test your strength to see if you were capable of being the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County!"
"But after seeing you, I knew there was no need for a test!"
"With your divine physique and Fourth Grade martial arts, you are more than qualified to be the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County!"
"In the future, when your strength is sufficient, you may even become the Patrol Commissioner of Great Ring Commandery."
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Ning replied, "Thank you, Sir Lin, for your high opinion of me, but this is still too early for me!"
Lin Zhengqi smiled but didn't say anything.
He agreed with Jiang Ning's words.
Although he had already reviewed Jiang Ning's general information before coming here and knew about his exceptional talent, he had now reached the Fourth Grade and possessed a divine physique.
But the gap between the Fourth Grade and him was not small.
Don't be fooled by the apparent one-grade difference between the Fourth and Third Grades.
In reality, they were worlds apart.
Because he was a Divine Human Master.
The most special and powerful existence among the Third Grade.
Among all the Masters in the world, Divine Human Masters made up only one-fifth of the total.
This ratio was enough to show the rarity of Divine Human Masters.
To be like him and serve as a Patrol Commissioner, one must first reach the Third Grade and achieve the Divine Human realm.
Without sufficient strength, how could one have the confidence to patrol a commandery and suppress ghosts and demons in this world?
Then, Lin Zhengqi looked at Jiang Ning.
"Commissioner Jiang, please take out your Heaven's Seal."
Hearing this title, Jiang Ning couldn't help but pause for a moment.
He had heard all kinds of titles over time.
But this was the first time he had heard the title of Patrol Commissioner.
This caused a momentary daze in his mind.
Then, he snapped out of it, raised his hand, and summoned the Heaven's Seal from the Sumeru Ring.
A palm-sized black plaque appeared in his hand, engraved with intricate patterns.
These intricate patterns were a form of the Seal.
Jiang Ning handed over the Heaven's Seal.
Lin Zhengqi took it and then glanced at Jiang Ning once more.
With a wave of his hand, a white jade bottle appeared.
Then, holding the Heaven's Seal that Jiang Ning had handed over, he tilted the mouth of the white jade bottle towards the Seal.
As the white jade bottle tilted, a drop of pure, clear jade liquid rolled out and fell onto the Seal.
In an instant.
The intricate patterns on the Heaven's Seal seemed to be infused with energy, bursting into golden light.
The light became brighter and dazzling.
The three of them couldn't help but squint, watching the golden light emanating from the intricate patterns on the Seal.
After a few breaths.
The golden light subsided.
"There you go!" Lin Zhengqi placed the Heaven's Seal back in front of Jiang Ning.
And said, "With another drop of blood, it will be completely under your control! I've also left my contact information, and with this Heaven's Seal, you can contact me directly in the future!"
"Thank you, Commissioner!" Jiang Ning bowed.
Then he took back the Heaven's Seal.
He circulated his power, forcing a drop of blood from his body.
The moment the drop of blood appeared, Lin Zhengqi's gaze slightly froze, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because he saw a glimmer of golden light in the drop of blood that Jiang Ning had condensed on his fingertip.
As the drop of blood fell onto the Seal, it was instantly devoured and vanished.
It must have been my imagination! Lin Zhengqi thought.
With the integration of the blood, Jiang Ning instantly felt a close connection, like flesh and blood, with the Heaven's Seal in his hand.
Then, Bai Luoyu also left their contact information through his own Heaven's Seal.
