Chapter 439: Golden Body's Limit Break!

March 10th, 2025, Author: Jiang Shangjing

At the Star-Plucking Tower.

During the Patrol Feast.

"Ye Fu Shi, I'm late!" Zhao Yu Long cupped his hands in greeting.

"Ye Fu Shi's arrival is a great honor. I, the humble official, shall first offer a penalty of three cups of wine!" Wang Shouyi said.

As his words fell, Wang Shouyi flipped over an upside-down wine cup on the table and poured himself a full glass.

"Both of you, please take your seats!" Jiang Ning spoke up.

Ye Zhengqi glanced at Jiang Ning, remaining silent.

Wang Shouyi and Zhao Yu Long hesitated upon seeing this.

Then, Zhao Yu Long laughed, "Since the protagonist of today has spoken, how can we not follow?"

As his words landed, Zhao Yu Long took the lead and sat down, followed by Wang Shouyi.

After taking their seats, Wang Shouyi swiftly downed three cups of wine without spilling a drop.

Ye Zhengqi's displeased expression instantly improved upon witnessing this.

He then turned his gaze towards Zhao Yu Long, and after a moment of observation, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.

"Has Zhao Fu Master realized the Union with Heaven?"

"Not yet fully realized, just half a step away!" Zhao Yu Long replied.

"Half a step?" Ye Zhengqi nodded slightly, "The final half-step is just a matter of opportunity, sooner or later, it will be achieved!"

At this point, Ye Zhengqi lifted the half-drunk cup in his hand.

"Zhao Fu Master, I wish you an early entry into the Union with Heaven and the achievement of the Divine Human Master!"

"Thank you, Ye Fu Shi!" Zhao Yu Long also raised his cup in response.

After that, the banquet officially began.

Until the end of the hour of the Dog.

The feast finally dispersed.

Inside the mansion.

In the front courtyard.

"Are all the items arranged properly?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"Yes, Master. Everything is in place! Here is the gift list from Jiang's residence!" An elderly steward with a thick mustache handed over a thick stack of gift lists to Bai Luoyu.

"Jiang, take a look!" Bai Luoyu took the gift list and passed it to Jiang Ning.

"Thanks for your help tonight, Bai!" Jiang Ning said.

Bai Luoyu smiled, "Between you and me, there's no need for thanks! These trivial matters are all minor details! If I may say so, Jiang, you should hire more servants!"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I prefer a quieter life."

"You!" Bai Luoyu sighed softly, "You're just too easygoing! Some things still require some management!"

Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this.

He then opened the gift list in his hand.

As he pulled it open with both hands, the thick list instantly transformed into a long cloth-like strip.

His eyes swiftly scanned the list, and his expression turned slightly pleased.

The natural treasures from various forces were not lacking and were even more abundant and precious than he had anticipated.

"How is it?" Bai Luoyu asked with a smile, noticing the joy on Jiang Ning's face.

"Not bad! It's helpful to me!" Jiang Ning nodded, folding the gift list in his hand.

"In that case, I won't bother Jiang any further. I'll take my leave for now!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded, "I'll see you off, Bai!"

After that.

He escorted Bai Luoyu to the main road leading to the Bai residence.

Only then did the two bid farewell.

Back in the front courtyard.

"Big Brother, Big Sister!" Jiang Ning called out to Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan in the front courtyard.

Then he looked towards Doubao, who was at Liu Wanwan's feet.

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, Doubao immediately let go of Liu Wanwan's hand and ran towards him.

Jiang Ning half-squatted, embracing the rushing Doubao.

"Uncle, your clothes are so grand!" Doubao praised.

Jiang Ning smiled and tweaked her tiny nose.

Then he turned his attention back to Jiang Li.

At this moment, Jiang Li's gaze upon Jiang Ning was filled with mixed emotions.

Although he hadn't attended Jiang Ning's feast, he had waited outside for a while.

Seeing the numerous esteemed guests and luxurious cars, Jiang Li's heart was filled with emotion.

Her little brother was becoming more and more extravagant! She thought to herself.

"Little Sister, your clothes suit you well, is a grand entrance.

"Uncle, your clothes are so lively surprise.

"Your clothes are so grand!" Doubao exclaimed, being held in Jiang Ning's arms and rubbing his neck.

Hearing this, Liu Wanwan also looked Jiang Ning up and down, then nodded.

"Ning is indeed handsome, but he hasn't found a wife yet, which is a bit worrying!"

At this point, Liu Wanwan had a sudden realization.

"Ning, now that you've achieved success, let me help you with your marriage! You're not getting any younger!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning's head started to pound.

He quickly put Doubao down.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, I have something to attend to. Please take Doubao back, and make sure she doesn't catch a cold."

Seeing Jiang Ning's hasty departure, Jiang Li felt a headache coming on.

His little brother was perfect in every way, except for this one aspect that troubled him the most.

Liu Wanwan smiled warmly and patted her husband's arm. "Don't worry too much, Brother Li. Think about how many beautiful girls Ning has attracted."

"And I heard that Ning had even made a promise with a girl before!"

"I know her!" Jiang Li exclaimed, "I heard she's a royal princess. Although Ning has achieved a lot, he's not qualified to marry a royal princess! And with our ordinary family background, bringing a princess home would be more trouble than it's worth!"

Liu Wanwan shook her head. "Brother Li, you're underestimating Ning in this regard! Ning's future is bright, and he's worthy of a princess!"

"Just think about it! Ning is so young, and he's already achieved so much!"

"Give him another ten or eight years, and who knows what he'll accomplish?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard and was met by Lu Yi, who was carrying a bundle of bed sheets and blankets.

"Young Master!" Lu Yi quickly stepped back, making space for him.

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Yi, who was holding the bedding, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I felt that the bed was dirty after those two slept on it, so I took it to be washed!" Lu Yi whispered.

Jiang Ning understood what she meant. The two she referred to were Feng Jiuge and Xie Xiaojiu.

He nodded in agreement.

Feng Jiuge and Xie Xiaojiu had arrived in Dongling City early that morning and came to his residence at the hour of the dragon. They had been traveling without rest.

Tired from their journey and the rising temperatures, it was inevitable that they would have some unpleasant odor on their bodies.

"Have they been assigned rooms?" Jiang Ning asked.

Lu Yi nodded, "Yes, I've prepared two rooms, and Miss Feng and Miss Xie have already gone to their rooms."

"Good!" Jiang Ning slightly nodded, "You don't need to wash these beddings now. Go to the front yard and bring me the heavenly treasures from those gift boxes!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Lu Yi nodded repeatedly.

That night, Jiang Ning didn't sleep at all.

He consumed all the heavenly treasures sent by various forces, regardless of their ingredients, as long as they were non-toxic. He transmuted them into his body.

Now, his Goldenvolution Invincible experience points were maxed out, and he only lacked Yuan Neng points.

Heavenly treasures were the best source of Yuan Neng points.

The next day, the sky was tinged with a faint blue-gray hue, and the rooster's crowing signaled the dawn.

Jiang Ning's courtyard was in disarray, with gift boxes scattered on the ground, their contents of heavenly treasures already transmuted by him.

He looked at the absence of any remaining heavenly treasures and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned his gaze to his status panel, his eyes narrowing slightly.

【Yuan Neng】: 8964

Unbeknownst to him, his Yuan Neng points had silently changed.

From yesterday's six thousand three hundred points, they had now exceeded eight thousand nine hundred points.

In terms of value, these heavenly treasures were worth more than two hundred thousand taels of silver.

The gifts from various factions were indeed generous.

However, as he thought about his increasingly extravagant needs, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had already consumed most of the gifts he could digest.

But there was still a gap before his Yuan Neng points reached ten thousand.

As a new day dawned, he didn't bother to sleep.

Instead, he continued his marrow refinement in the courtyard, progressing further.

Outside the Ten-Mile Pavilion, the setting sun cast a bloody glow.

"Lord Ye!" Bai Luoyu stepped forward as the carriage slowly appeared.

The next moment, the carriage curtain was drawn open, revealing Ye Zhengqi's elegant face.

He glanced at Bai Luoyu and Jiang Ning, then slightly nodded.

"You two are thoughtful!"

Bai Luoyu smiled, "How could we not come to see you off, Lord Ye?"

Ye Zhengqi nodded and then looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning brought three cups of fine wine from the stone table in the pavilion.

"Lord Ye, I offer you a cup of wine to express my gratitude for these past few days!" Jiang Ning said.

Ye Zhengqi took the wine cup that floated towards him.

He gestured in the air towards Jiang Ning and then drank it in one gulp.

Jiang Ning also finished his cup in one go.

"This wine is excellent!" Ye Zhengqi praised, and the wine cup silently turned to dust in his hand.

Bai Luoyu, holding her wine cup, felt embarrassed witnessing this.

Ye Zhengqi noticed her reaction and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

Then, he said, "Bai Patrol Commissioner, we'll drink together next time!"

After he spoke, he turned to Jiang Ning, "I heard you have a grudge with Xiao Qiushui. In a few days, she will be holding a Master's Banquet. I'll take you there to resolve this grudge!"

"Lord Ye, this is a blood vendetta!" Jiang Ning said.

"I know!" Ye Zhengqi replied, "But I believe she will make a wise choice!"

After saying this, he looked at Bai Luoyu.

"Don't provoke the powerful demon, Bai Chi, in Luoshui Lake for now!"

"After my battle with it, it's currently injured!"

"Even if Bai Chi is injured, it's beyond what the two of you can handle!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu responded in unison, "Understood!"

"Also, send some men to investigate Bai Sha County. According to the intelligence report, the God-Worshipping Cult's influence there is too strong, and there might be unrest!"

The two immediately accepted the task.

As they watched Ye Zhengqi board the carriage and slowly depart under the setting sun, Jiang Ning spoke up, "Brother Bai, let me handle the matter in Bai Sha County first! I have more than enough staff in my Patrol Magistrate's Mansion!"

Jiang Ning nodded, agreeing, "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Bai!"

He understood that Bai Luoyu was stating a fact.

His Patrol Magistrate's Mansion still lacked sufficient staff, and their strength was inadequate.

Even with his assistance, whether it was Zhou Xing, Feng Jiuge, or Xie Xiaojiu, they would need some time to develop the strength to hold their own.

Recruiting enough staff would also take some time.

Now that Bai Luoyu was taking over this task, he felt relieved.

He had never been one to vie for credit.

Instead of competing for credit, he preferred to spend time practicing martial arts and enhancing his strength.

After all, strength was the foundation for standing firm.

Time passed in a flash.

The next morning, as soon as he woke up, he looked at his status panel, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

【Yuan Neng】: 11677

After yesterday, his Yuan Neng Points had successfully surpassed 10,000.

This meant his savings were once again empty.

The contribution points he earned from slaying the demon at the Three Purities Daoist Temple were also completely depleted, leaving only enough silver for daily expenses.

But seeing the Yuan Neng Points, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.

With over 10,000 Yuan Neng Points, he witnessed the changes in Goldenvolution Invencible.

【Technique】: Goldenvolution Invencible+ (Perfection 10000/10000)



On the status panel, the familiar plus sign appeared once again.

This undoubtedly indicated that he had met all the requirements to break the limit of Goldenvolution Invencible.

The first limit break required 10,000 Yuan Neng Points!

How extravagant!

Looking at his status panel, Jiang Ning sighed in his heart.

At this moment, while he was filled with sighs, the weight on his chest also lifted.

10,000 Yuan Neng Points were needed to break the limit.

He could barely afford this level of consumption.

If 10,000 weren't enough, and it became 100,000 or even higher, he could only sigh in despair.

Then, he got up, put on a loose training uniform, and opened the door.

At this moment, he wasn't in a hurry.

After a while, he finished washing up.

He wiped his face with well water, and the cold morning breeze from the Dongling Mountain Range refreshed him, making him feel invigorated.

He raised his head and looked at the sky behind the mountain range, where the clouds were already tinged with red, and the morning sun shone brightly.

"Another beautiful day!"

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Such weather was perfect for him to continue accumulating experience points in Nourishing Life with Inner Dan.

This was crucial for his advancement to the Divine Human Master realm.

The next moment, he looked at his status panel.

【Cultivation Level】: Fourth Grade Refinement of Marrow (1307/1999)



【Yuan Neng】: 11677

【Technique】: Goldenvolution Invencible+ (Perfection 10000/10000)



Nourishing Life with Inner Dan (Great Accomplishment 4013/10000)



Then, his gaze locked onto the Goldenvolution Invencible technique.

With everything in place, all he needed was a thought, and this technique, surpassing the highest grade of martial arts, could break its limit once more.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.

This was his first high-grade cultivation technique to break its limit.

The consumption of Yuan Neng Points alone was enough to indicate the difficulty level of this technique.

The greater the consumption, the more challenging it was, and the stronger the effect would naturally be.

The next moment, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, made a slight adjustment, and with a thought, his Yuan Neng Points began to rapidly decrease.

【Yuan Neng】: 1677 (11677→1677)



As the Yuan Neng Points decreased, he felt within his body a volcanic eruption, an invisible power exploding forth.

An Azure Dragon roared within him, a Fierce Tiger howled, and a Gigantic Elephant trumpeted!

A terrifying power filled his entire body.

At the same time, he seemed to sense the cells in his body undergoing frenzied fission.

Far faster than usual, they underwent countless millions of times more fission.

The countless cells repeatedly split, quickly completing their short lives, transforming into detritus and being excreted from his body.

Throughout the process, he also felt his muscles being stretched and torn by a force, causing intense pain to flood his heart.
