Jiang Ning observed the changes on his panel.
Within a day, his Essence Energy had increased from 0.1 to 2, a growth of 1.9.
This rate of increase was equivalent to nearly five days of his previous efforts, and before he began his martial arts training, it would have taken almost half a month to accumulate such a significant number of points.
The cost of this achievement was that he had consumed one and a half roots of ginseng the previous day.
In market terms, this was equivalent to spending nearly twenty taels of silver in just one day.
Aside from this change, the most significant transformation was in his Canglang Blade Technique.
In just one day, this blade technique had advanced from beginner to mastery.
If his teacher knew of this efficiency, it would scare him to death.
If the world found out, they would be astonished and consider him a monster.
Jiang Ning had no intention of sharing this information with anyone, not even his teacher, Master Wang Jin.
Outstanding talent would earn him attention and cultivation.
But such efficiency couldn't be explained by talent alone.
At least, that was how Jiang Ning saw it.
In his opinion, sharing this information might bring some benefits, but the drawbacks could be greater, inviting trouble.
His teacher already showed him enough attention and care.
He couldn't expect to be treated like a biological son.
He needed to keep some tricks up his sleeve.
The Canglang Blade Technique at the mastery level was his ultimate move, his secret weapon for now.
Once he used this technique, it would be a life-or-death situation.
When he had only mastered the first level of essence force, he didn't have enough confidence to defeat a ranked martial artist.
Now, Jiang Ning was brimming with confidence.
If he unleashed two layers of essence force consecutively with full force, a single strike, if landed accurately, would be enough to kill Xu Yunfeng.
At this moment, feeling the immense essence force surging within him like an ocean, Jiang Ning's confidence soared.
After a brief rest, he began practicing his fist techniques.
From the previous afternoon until now, he had been training his blade techniques, and even after sunrise, he hadn't absorbed the Great Sun's essence energy to increase his Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique experience points.
Now, with the Canglang Blade Technique reaching the mastery level, he could finally focus on the Five Beasts Fist.
As further breakthroughs in the blade technique wouldn't bring him much additional benefit, it had served its purpose.
The most remarkable aspect of this blade technique was the Ninefold Power; with each breakthrough in the blade technique, he could unleash more layers of essence force.
When the technique was perfected, a single strike with nine layers of essence force would be more powerful than the cumulative effect of nine individual strikes.
This was the ultimate strength of this blade technique.
However, his current physique was so weak that even unleashing the first layer of essence force at the beginner level of the Canglang Blade Technique would cause his muscles to tear and his blood vessels to burst.
One could only imagine the strain that unleashing two layers of essence force would put on his body.
In Jiang Ning's view, even if he disregarded the consequences and costs, his current physique could, at most, unleash the power of two layers of essence force.
Any more, and his arms might explode before he could even strike.
Therefore, continuing to grind experience points for the Canglang Blade Technique in the short term was pointless.
Switching his focus to the Five Beasts Fist experience points was the right path.
Strengthening his vital energy and physique was fundamental, and it was also a prerequisite for becoming a ranked martial artist.
The Ninefold Power was more like a skill, an amplifier of one's fundamental strength.
Only with a stronger foundation in physique could the Ninefold Power be unleashed to its full potential, resulting in even more formidable combat power.
Once his physique reached a certain level, it would also support the unrestrained release of the Ninefold Power's mighty might.
Moreover, to truly overcome his current predicament, Jiang Ning believed that he needed a powerful backer, a towering tree that could shelter him from the storm.
To gain a higher status and truly resolve this predicament, it was essential to have a strong backing. Otherwise, even if he were to achieve Martial Arts Ascendant in a short time, it would be meaningless. Killing Xu Yunfeng and Cao Bin would only lead to the entire Cao Family's hostility, and he would be pursued by the entire Great Xia Dynasty, living in constant fear.
Killing them would not bring an end to his troubles, as more enemies would emerge, and he would have no peace. He needed a powerful ally to provide him with sufficient time and safety. In his opinion, the Patrol Bureau was the only authority that could offer him this, with its power rivaling that of the Imperial Guards of his previous life.
Joining the Patrol Bureau would grant him the power and influence he needed. With the bureau's backing, he would have the support of the Martial Sage and the Great Xia Dynasty, providing him with a strong foundation and security.
However, to enter the Patrol Bureau, he had less than three months to prepare. He needed to focus on cultivating his Vital Energy, reaching the Perfection level, and mastering his techniques. Only then could he qualify to join the bureau.
In Jiang Ning's view, entering the Patrol Bureau would resolve his current predicament. "However," he thought, clenching his fist as he recalled Xu Yunfeng, "I will not let those who deserve punishment go unpunished."
At the Wanhua Tower, the most luxurious building in Luo Shui County, which shone brightly every night, a man and a woman stood in the top-floor pavilion. The man, Shen Congyun, the deputy owner of the Wanhua Tower, was in his forties, with a few streaks of white in his hair.
Before him stood a woman, about twenty-eight years old, who bowed slightly and presented him with a bundle of documents tied with a yellow ribbon. "I have collected the information you requested, sir," she said.
"Call me Deputy Owner," Shen Congyun replied, taking the documents from her.
"Yes, Deputy Owner," the woman responded, her tone somewhat stiff.
"Remember, don't address me incorrectly again," Shen Congyun said, untying the ribbon and beginning to read the documents.
The woman nodded and asked, "May I take my leave?"
Shen Congyun nodded, and the woman departed, leaving him alone in the pavilion. As he read the documents, his eyes widened in surprise.
"I was mistaken," he muttered to himself. "This young man has only been practicing martial arts for over ten days, not several months. He has already reached the beginner's level of Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique without any external assistance. His innate talent is extraordinary!"
Shen Congyun's eyes sparkled with astonishment as he continued to ponder. "Such a gifted individual, if born in ancient times, would have been a remarkable figure. Although his background is ordinary, his progress in martial arts is unprecedented. With the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, he has the potential to become a true Grandmaster, far surpassing Wang Jin in terms of talent and potential."
