Chapter 77: Gaining Benefits
Chapter 77: Gaining Benefits
In the courtyard, Jiang Ning stood under a tree, deep in thought.
The sudden turn of events today had caught him completely off guard.
Whether it was Cao Bin's abrupt arrival to arrest someone, Cao Rong's intervention, or Shen Congyun's appearance, none of it had been within his expectations.
After a while, Jiang Ning reflected on everything that had just transpired.
"At the root of it all, I'm still too weak and lack power or influence!" he thought to himself.
"Fortunately, I've gained the attention of a prominent figure like Shen Congyun."
"But Wang Jin's words were also right! Relying on others is not a long-term solution; I must strengthen myself."
"Moreover, Wang Jin's words made sense. Shen Congyun's involvement disrupted the rules of Wanhua Tower."
"If he receives punishment from the Wanhua Tower headquarters, the Cao family might not be as compliant as they were today without his influence."
Jiang Ning clenched his fist, feeling his vital energy coursing through his body as he contemplated his current state.
"To take control of my future and prevent situations like today from happening again, I must quickly enhance my strength."
"I hope Wang Jin's help tomorrow will be beneficial."
Then, he recalled Shen Congyun's departing words.
To thoroughly remember the advanced cultivation methods of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, he needed to go to Wanhua Tower as soon as possible.
"I hope Shen Congyun can also provide me with some assistance," he muttered to himself.
In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.
Jiang Ning, holding the golden sheets that recorded the advanced cultivation methods of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, made his way to Wanhua Tower to meet with Shen Congyun.
After a long while, Jiang Ning left Wanhua Tower and headed straight for the outer city.
In the outer city, Jiang Ning walked along familiar paths.
Turning a corner, he saw the house where he had lived for over a decade, and at the entrance of the small courtyard enclosed by a bamboo fence, he spotted Jiang Li eagerly awaiting his arrival.
As soon as Jiang Li saw Jiang Ning, a smile spread across his face.
"Big Brother!" Jiang Ning greeted him as he approached.
Jiang Li took a few quick steps forward and patted Jiang Ning's shoulder firmly with his left hand.
"Good lad, your body has become much stronger. Practicing martial arts indeed has its benefits!"
Jiang Ning grinned, "Is everything alright, Big Brother?"
"Hey!" Jiang Li shook his head, "Nothing to worry about! Your sister-in-law and I were just arrested by the county hall, but we were released immediately."
"What about Xiao Doubao and Jiang Yiming?" Jiang Ning asked.
Jiang Li smiled, "Don't worry, they're fine! Thanks to you, we were spared. If not for you, not only would Xiao Doubao and Jiang Yiming be in danger, but your sister-in-law and I might have suffered a terrible fate, even enduring humiliation."
"Thank you!"
As she expressed her gratitude, Liu Wanwan bowed once more.
"Big Sister, there's no need for such formality among family," Jiang Ning said.
Liu Wanwan smiled softly, "Why don't we eat first? The food is all ready."
"Big Sister, I'll go check on Xiao Doubao and Jiang Yiming first," Jiang Ning said.
"Okay," Liu Wanwan nodded.
Jiang Ning entered the house.
"Uncle!" Jiang Yiming exclaimed upon seeing Jiang Ning. He quickly put down his book and stood up from his chair.
Jiang Ning approached and glanced down, noticing it was a book that was essential for the imperial examinations.
He ruffled Jiang Yiming's hair, "Study hard and strive for success in the exams."
Jiang Yiming nodded vigorously, "Uncle, rest assured. I will study diligently. If I had a scholarly title today, I wouldn't have nearly ended up in prison."
"We owe our safe return today to you, Uncle."
Jiang Yiming bowed to Jiang Ning.
"You little rascal!" Jiang Ning laughed, ruffling his hair again.
Then he said, "I'll go check on Xiao Doubao."
"Xiao Doubao was scared all day. She just fell asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?" Jiang Yiming asked.
Jiang Ning shook his head, "No need, I'll just take a look."
Jiang Ning entered the room and saw Xiao Doubao sound asleep, drooling from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.
His big brother's family was safe and sound.
A sense of relief washed over him.
He stepped out of the house and joined Jiang Li for drinks and dinner in the courtyard.
The moon rose high in the sky.
"Big Brother, I should be going," Jiang Ning said.
"Alright," Jiang Li nodded. "Be careful on your way back."
As Jiang Ning left the familiar courtyard, he turned back for one last glance before turning away.
He knew that the current peace was solely due to Shen Congyun's intimidation.
Moreover, during their meeting at Wanhua Tower that evening, Jiang Ning had learned something from Shen Congyun.
(End of Chapter 77)
These past two days, Shen Congyun might be leaving Luo Shui County.
Although Shen Congyun didn't explicitly state the reason, Jiang Ning could guess some of it.
It was because Shen Congyun had disrupted the rules of Wanhua Tower.
Such a powerful force would undoubtedly have strict regulations.
While Shen Congyun was a prominent figure in Luo Shui County, he was just an ordinary person in the vast Wanhua Tower, which spanned the thirty-six prefectures of the Nine Provinces.
After learning that Shen Congyun might be leaving, Jiang Ning realized that to achieve true security, he would ultimately have to rely on himself.
Relying on others was not a long-term solution.
If Shen Congyun were to leave, it would be difficult for him to return in a short time.
At that time, he would lose Shen Congyun's deterrence.

Jiang Ning wasn't sure if the Cao Family would change their minds, and he didn't dare to take the risk.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
The next day.
Jiang Ning woke up from his bed.
【Name】: Jiang Ning
【Source Energy】: 6.8
【Skills】:
Literacy Mastery (One Break Limit 732/2000) (Characteristic: Photographic Memory)
Five Beasts Fist (Minor Success 268/500)
Firewood Splitting Blade Technique (One Break Limit 2000/2000) (Characteristic: Broad Understanding)
Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique (Beginner 58/1000)
Canglang Blade Technique (Mastery 0/200)
Yesterday's unexpected event had delayed him significantly.
His source energy had only increased slightly, far less than in previous days.
The experience points for his fist technique had also increased minimally, causing a significant delay.
Later.
Jiang Ning left his room.
After finishing his morning routine, he began practicing his fist technique.
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
【Five Beasts Fist Experience +2】
【Skills】: Five Beasts Fist (Minor Success 274/500)
After practicing the fist technique three times consecutively, Jiang Ning gained six experience points in Five Beasts Fist and increased his vital energy by nine strands.
The eastern sky was already dyed red by the morning glow, and half the sky was transformed into a sea of red.
As the great sun was about to rise, Jiang Ning's heart was filled with excitement.
After meeting Shen Congyun the night before, Jiang Ning had also received benefits from him.
These included five bottles of Liver Protecting Pills and Shen Congyun's subsequent arrangements.
According to Shen Congyun, after Jiang Ning's vital energy reaches perfection, he could seek out Lin Qingyi, the Deputy Tower Lord, to learn about Shen Congyun's plans for him.
The five bottles of Liver Protecting Pills were handed to him the night before.
According to Shen Congyun, taking one pill from the five bottles of Liver Protecting Pills every morning before absorbing Solar Essence Qi could protect his five zang and six fu organs and reduce the burning caused by Solar Essence Qi.
It could also increase the efficiency of absorbing Solar Essence Qi and enhance the progress of practicing the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
These five bottles of Liver Protecting Pills would last him about half a year.
They were extremely valuable auxiliary items.
Now, with the guidance method for the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique that he had previously lacked, the combined benefits would significantly increase his efficiency in cultivating the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
Jiang Ning's heart was filled with anticipation.
With these two enhancements, how much would the efficiency of his experience points increase?
He had placed great importance on this technique ever since learning its rank yesterday.
The Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique was an ultimate skill, surpassing even the most advanced martial arts.
He had only heard vague rumors about ultimate skills before.
Each ultimate skill was incredibly powerful, possessing the ability to reach the pinnacle.
If he could master the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, it would undoubtedly boost his strength significantly.
Strength was the foundation of his survival.
With his extraordinary talent, as long as he worked hard, he could break through any technique, achieve perfection, and even surpass limits to reach unimaginable heights.
Take his Firewood Splitting Blade Technique, for example. It was just a simple technique, but after breaking through its limits, it not only granted him incredible characteristics but also endowed him with immense explosive power.
Therefore, Jiang Ning eagerly anticipated breaking through the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, an ultimate skill.
Each breakthrough would significantly enhance his strength.
That was why he was so excited at this moment.
He couldn't wait to see how much faster he could absorb Solar Essence Qi with the help of the Liver Protecting Pills and the guidance method.
How quickly would he gain experience points!
The faster he acquired experience points, the shorter the time it would take to reach the next level in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
A moment later.
The fiery sun slowly rose in the east.
Jiang Ning sat in the courtyard, swallowed a Liver Protecting Pill in advance, and immediately felt a cool sensation entering his five zang and six fu organs as the pill took effect, causing his body to shiver slightly.
In this state, he calmly waited for the sun to rise completely.
After reaching the beginner level in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, he could only absorb the Solar Essence Qi after sunrise to further refine his five zang and six fu organs and gain experience points for the technique.
Therefore, the perfect time to absorb and expel Solar Essence Qi was after the sun had fully risen.
A minute later.
The sun completely rose.
Jiang Ning faced the east, gazed at the newly risen sun, and then activated the absorption method recorded in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
The next moment.
Jiang Ning felt a scorching sensation, like a fiery snake, entering his nasal cavity and flowing into his five zang and six fu organs.
