Chapter 76: The Dust Settles
By the lakeside.
The advanced cultivation methods for Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique?
This should also be helpful to me.
He then carefully flipped through the golden sheets inscribed with the advanced cultivation methods of Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience Points +1]
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience Points +1]
[Book Knowledge Mastery Experience Points +1]
[...]
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had finished reading the contents on these golden sheets.
With his photographic memory, the content was deeply etched into his mind as if carved by a knife.
He felt somewhat excited.
This would also boost the rate at which he gained experience points, and the time it took to advance in Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique would be shortened due to the improved acquisition of experience points.
This would undoubtedly accelerate his strength improvement.
Inner Fortification was generally a realm one would reach at the Fifth Stage of Martial Dao.
Powerful practitioners could condense their inner breath like a gale, a single sword capable of breaking through a thousand armors.
Although this supreme art lacked a method for perfection, based on Jiang Ning's current reading, if he could advance Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique to mastery, he could reach the level of Organ Thunder Sound and inner breath like a gale.
At this moment.
After finishing his reading, Jiang Ning understood why Shen Congyun had helped him.
Perhaps in Shen Congyun's eyes, in the future, his Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique reaching mastery would allow him to smoothly surpass the Fifth Stage of Martial Dao, entering the Fourth Stage domain.
This future possibility made Shen Congyun willing to help him at this moment.
Even though Jiang Ning had a vague guess about this, he was immensely grateful for Shen Congyun's help today.
If not for Shen Congyun's intervention, he would have surely had a difficult day.
His elder brother and sister-in-law would likely have died with resentment.
Even if he could seek revenge in the future, it would only assuage the pain in his heart.
With Shen Congyun's intervention, according to Cao Rong's words, his elder brother and sister-in-law should be safe.
Thinking of everything that happened today, Jiang Ning could not help but clench his fists.
"Without sufficient strength, one is like a floating leaf in the wind, unable to control one's life!" he sighed inwardly.
"It's also fortunate that a great figure like Shen Congyun intervened!" Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
Next.
He tightly gripped the golden sheets inscribed with the advanced cultivation methods of Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
"This art form cannot be underestimated; I cannot fall behind!"
"If I can reach the minor achievement level in the future, I will condense my inner breath in advance. If I achieve mastery, my inner breath will be like a gale, possessing the terrifying power to shatter anything."
"At that time, perhaps I only need to reach the Eighth Stage of Martial Dao to have the strength to kill Cao Rong."
"I won't have to feel powerless like today anymore!!"
"The powerless feeling of life and fate being controlled by others!!"
Jiang Ning muttered in his heart.
His gaze fell on the panel.
Now, even if I lack the method for the perfection of Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, perhaps with the magic of my panel, I might still be able to break through to the perfect realm of this supreme art.
If I truly achieve perfection, I might possess unimaginable power!
After all, this is a supreme art!!!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's heart yearned.
Canglang Martial Academy.
Seeing Jiang Ning's appearance.
Everyone looked at Jiang Ning with envious eyes.
"What luck, to be noticed by Lord Shen, such a great figure!"
"Yes!"
Several people whispered.
Cheng Ran also looked at Jiang Ning with envy.
Then, he approached Jiang Ning.
"Junior Brother Jiang, Master Wang said to find him in the backyard after you return."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng!"
Seeing Jiang Ning's earnest gaze, Cheng Ran patted Jiang Ning's chest.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you're too formal, I just notified you too late! Fortunately, Master Wang stepped forward."
"And Lord Shen also came to help Junior Brother Jiang!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.
"Yes! I'm deeply grateful to Master and Lord Shen for their assistance, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!"
He sighed and then said, "Senior Brother Cheng, I'll go find Master first!"
"Alright!" Cheng Ran nodded.
In the backyard of the martial academy.
"Master!"
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning and nodded slightly, "What are your thoughts today?"
Jiang Ning said, "Without strength, one can only be at the mercy of others!"
Wang Jin nodded, "You're right, without strength, one can only be at the mercy of others!"
At this point, Wang Jin sighed again.
"You don't know how arrogant and proud Cao Rong is, with his title and Seventh Stage Martial Dao, and having perfected Sinew Tempering, his strength in Luo Water County can rank in the top five, even I don't look at him with any respect."
"But when Lord Shen appeared, Cao Rong immediately bowed his head."
"This is the status brought by strength."
Jiang Ning said, "Disciple understands, disciple will work even harder in the future."
Wang Jin smiled, "There's no need to work harder, you've already worked hard enough! But you must remember, there is no end to the Martial Dao. Even that revered Martial Sage above everyone still hasn't reached the end of the Martial Dao.
"I hope that you will always maintain your initial aspirations, courageously advancing, and never become complacent or arrogant when you achieve success in the future."
Jiang Ning bowed respectfully, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings with all my heart."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Jin nodded slightly again.
Then he continued, "As the deputy lord of Wanhua Tower here, Shen Congyun is not allowed to get involved in local power struggles according to Wanhua Tower's rules. Today, he violated the tower's rules for you, and you must remember his kindness."
Jiang Ning replied, "Disciple understands! I am not someone who is ungrateful."
Wang Jin spoke again, "But today, Lord Shen is willing to break the rules of Wanhua Tower to help you, which shows how much he values you. You must seize this opportunity."
"In life, such great opportunities are rare. Once missed, it's truly missed, and you'll regret it later."
"Seizing this opportunity is extremely important for you."
Jiang Ning nodded once more, "Disciple understands! I will remember Master's teachings."
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning before him and nodded with satisfaction.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, "Do you know why Lord Shen suddenly decided to help you?"
Hearing these words, Jiang Ning could sense Wang Jin's curiosity. He smiled inwardly.
"Because of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique," he replied.
Before Jiang Ning could say more, Wang Jin exclaimed in surprise, "The Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "Yes, Lord Shen noticed that I've entered the initial stages of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, so he's willing to help me."
At that moment, Wang Jin finally understood everything.
"So that's why! It's all because of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique. Now I understand everything!" He nodded slowly and glanced at Jiang Ning, "A few days ago, when you entered the study, you must have seen the remaining pages of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique that I left on the table."
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded again and continued, "Disciple secretly practiced this technique, please punish me, Master!"
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning, who was bowing his head, and smiled, "Punish you? What's there to punish? This is a good thing! I, too, was born with exceptional wisdom, so Lord Shen taught me this method of inner fortification."
"This young fellow here is also valued by Lord Shen for the same reason."
"What a coincidence!"
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning with increasing satisfaction.
Being valued by Shen Congyun meant that Jiang Ning's martial talent was naturally exceptional, and like himself, they were both born with exceptional wisdom, kindred spirits.
With Lord Shen's help, it was clear that Jiang Ning's future achievements would not be ordinary.
Then, Wang Jin recalled what had just happened.
He had felt the Ninefold Power's essence force within Jiang Ning's body.
Thinking of this, Wang Jin suddenly spoke up, "By the way, if I didn't sense it wrong just now, you've mastered the essence force of the Ninefold Power!"
Jiang Ning replied honestly, "Yes, not long ago, I achieved the initial stages of the Canglang Blade Technique and mastered the Ninefold Power."
Hearing Jiang Ning's affirmative response, a gleam flashed in Wang Jin's eyes.
Even though he had just learned about this, hearing those words now still made his heart tremble slightly.
Just a few days ago, he had shown this martial arts secret manual to Jiang Ning, and now his disciple had already reached the initial stages of the blade technique and condensed the essence force.
Thinking about Jiang Ning's actions over the past few days and the events that had transpired today, Wang Jin felt even more like he had found a treasure.
He had accepted such a talented disciple who could inherit his mantle and carry on his legacy.
Wang Jin said, "Let me feel the Ninefold Power you've mastered once more."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning placed his palm on Wang Jin's right arm, and a strand of essence force flowed through their physical contact, entering Wang Jin's body.
At that moment, Wang Jin felt the immense power contained within this essence force.
It was indeed the Ninefold Power!
Wang Jin's heart was stirred with emotion, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
After a moment, he calmed himself and looked at Jiang Ning, who stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Master, what's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked, sensing Wang Jin's emotions.
Wang Jin shook his head, "It's nothing! I said before that if you master the essence force, I would help you. Come find me tomorrow, and I'll prepare something for you today."
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Ning's face lit up with joy, and he bowed respectfully.
Wang Jin continued, "Your strength must be further improved. You can't rely solely on Lord Shen. He broke the rules of Wanhua Tower to help you, and perhaps it won't be long before something happens to him."
"Once something happens, the Cao family might also change their minds. After all, we've created a feud today."
Jiang Ning listened intently, his face filled with seriousness.
"Disciple understands!"
Wang Jin smiled, "There's no need to be so serious. It's just a possibility!"
Then he waved his hand at Jiang Ning, "Alright, you may leave now! Go and attend to your own matters!"
"Yes, Master!" Jiang Ning bowed and prepared to leave the backyard.
"By the way!" Wang Jin spoke up again, "You can go home and visit today! With Lord Shen's word, your older brother and his family should be released."
Jiang Ning nodded and stepped out of Wang Jin's backyard.
His heart was filled with anticipation.
Although Wang Jin didn't explicitly say how he would help Jiang Ning, he could guess some of it.
Moreover, regardless of how Wang Jin chose to help, it would undoubtedly accelerate his strength growth.
His Essence Energy Points would also increase at a faster rate.
Jiang Ning was extremely excited about this prospect.
With the Chopping Blade Technique's experience points maxed out, as long as he had enough Essence Energy Points, he could break through the limit again and acquire new traits.
