Chapter 54: A Talent to Rival the Divine
Chapter 54: A Talent to Rival the Divine
In the front yard of the River Cang Martial Academy, Shen Congyun observed Jiang Ning, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was far from tranquil.
Two months ago, he had given the introductory section of the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to Wang Jin, and now he sensed the aura of Sunlight Essence on a third person besides Wang Jin.
The residual information from absorbing the Sunlight Essence was a distinct characteristic of practicing the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.
Shen Congyun naturally understood that the young man had clearly cultivated the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique and achieved considerable success.
Just like Wang Jin, he had successfully cultivated the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to the introductory level.
It was this realization that stirred Shen Congyun's emotions.
His emotions were not due to any disagreement with Wang Jin spreading the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique.
Instead, it was because the cultivation requirements of the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique were not simple. Only those with innate wisdom and the help of his secret medicinal herbs could sense the Sunlight Essence during the rise of the great sun.
Only by experiencing this energy could one absorb the Sunlight Essence, temper the organs, and cultivate this supreme skill above the supreme martial arts.
Shen Congyun was also well aware that the amount of secret medicinal herbs he had provided to Wang Jin was not much, and Wang Jin's cultivation progress was insufficient for two people to cultivate the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to the introductory level.
That left only one possibility.
The boy before him could sense the Sunlight Essence during the great sun's rise without the help of the secret medicinal herbs.
This incredibly exaggerated talent was what shocked Shen Congyun the most.
Only the top-tier naturally gifted individuals could achieve this.
In his opinion, such talent in ancient times would have had the potential to rival the divine.
Shen Congyun's gaze once again fell quietly on Jiang Ning, and he muttered to himself.
"There are no such coincidences in this world. This kid must have either secretly learned the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique from Wang Jin or received private teachings from him."
"Regardless of the reason, it's not important now."
"I've only given the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to Wang Jin for two months, and this kid has managed to cultivate it to the introductory level without the aid of secret medicinal herbs."
"This proves that his innate talent and comprehension are exceptionally high, and he is a top-tier naturally gifted individual!"
"With the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, he will undoubtedly be able to cultivate it to the Great Achievement realm, achieving the Thunder Sounds of Five Viscera and the Inner Breath Like Gale state."
"He is still young, and with his talent and my assistance, this kid will surely enter the Fifth Rank and has a good chance of achieving the Fourth Rank! His potential to attain the Grandmaster seat is higher than mine and Wang Jin's!"
"Such innate wisdom makes him even more suitable for cultivating the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique than Wang Jin. I can't let this opportunity pass!"
"However, it's a pity! This boy is a top-tier naturally gifted individual, and his talent for the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique is exceptionally high, but this supreme skill lacks the method to reach perfection!"
"What a pity indeed!"
"If I, with my talent, cannot cultivate it to perfection, but with his ability to sense the Sunlight Essence without secret medicinal herbs, cultivating the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique to the introductory level in just two months, he may be able to complete the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique and achieve the state of a body like a furnace, refining the golden core, as the records say."
Shen Congyun sighed inwardly and made his decision.
He would invest in Jiang Ning.
He believed that Jiang Ning's future performance would bring him sufficient returns and benefits.
However, before that, he needed to investigate and clarify how long Jiang Ning had been practicing martial arts.
How exactly does Jiang Ning's martial arts talent compare?
Only then could he decide how much to invest in Jiang Ning!
Shen Congyun then scanned the entire hall, hoping for more discoveries.
A moment later...
Seeing Shen Congyun withdraw his gaze, Wang Jin spoke up.
"Elder Brother Shen, how are my disciples?"
Shen Congyun nodded slightly, "Not bad!"
Wang Jin's heart sank as he saw Shen Congyun's indifferent expression.
He couldn't help but understand that 'not bad' from Shen Congyun also meant he didn't see any outstanding talent.
"Forget it!" Wang Jin sighed, "I've tried my best for this opportunity. Success or failure is up to fate! It's not easy to find a Heavenly Prodigy that Wan Hua Tower would take notice of."
Meanwhile, at Bright Moon Tower.
On the third floor in a private room.
Xu Yunfeng stood before a middle-aged man with a square face, bushy eyebrows, and a stern demeanor.
He slightly bowed, lowering his head to show obedience to the middle-aged man in his thirties.
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
The middle-aged man with a square face gently tapped his index finger on the Eight Immortals Table, creating a heart-pounding sound in the quiet room.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Xu Yunfeng's body bent slightly, and his expression was filled with tension.
"Still no progress?" The middle-aged man with a square face asked in a low voice.
"Cao Tou, not yet!" Xu Yunfeng replied, bowing his head.
Cao Tou, as Xu Yunfeng addressed him, picked up the teacup in front of him. The lid of the cup slid along the edge, making a faint rustling sound, and some hot tea spilled over the brim.
He gently blew on the steaming tea, causing two floating tea leaves to separate, revealing the clear tea beneath.
At this moment, the private room was eerily quiet, and the only sound was the rim of the teacup.
"Tell me, I'll give you a chance to explain!" Cao Tou spoke, breaking the silence in the room, and then he took a sip of the hot tea.
Xu Yunfeng immediately replied, "Cao Tou, Jiang Li's biggest weakness is his younger brother, Jiang Ning. I originally planned to start with Jiang Ning, to cut off his fingers and force Jiang Li to surrender. But after that day, he sent Jiang Ning to Canglang Martial Academy to learn martial arts!"
"Canglang Martial Academy?" Cao Tou put down the teacup he had picked up.
Clang—
The teacup collided with the Eight Immortals Table, making a crisp sound.
"Is it Wang Jin's Canglang Martial Academy?" Cao Tou asked again.
"Yes!" Xu Yunfeng bowed his head, "It's indeed Wang Jin's Canglang Martial Academy! After Jiang Ning became Wang Jin's disciple, he went home once, and since that day, he has never stepped out of Canglang Martial Academy! He must have Wang Jin's permission to reside in the academy long-term."
"Wang Jin!!!" Cao Bin lightly tapped his finger on the table.
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
The sound of his finger tapping on the table echoed in the room.
The entire private room fell silent.
After a moment...
Cao Bin spoke, "Wang Jin is not someone to provoke directly."
"Should we give up on Jiang Li's children for now?" Xu Yunfeng asked cautiously.
Cao Bin shook his head slightly, "We can't give up. My brother wants to pressure the County Magistrate to take a stand or personally intervene. Jiang Li is a good target. Since my brother entrusted this matter to me, we must persist."
"What should I do then?" Xu Yunfeng asked.
Dong—
Cao Bin lightly tapped his middle finger on the table, deep in thought.
