Chapter 92: Indestructible Vajra Body
At the entrance of Wanhua Tower.
"Hall Master, according to the reports from our informants, Jiang Ning is still inside Wanhua Tower and hasn't come out yet," a member of the Green Serpent Gang, who had been keeping watch nearby, promptly reported to Xu Yunfeng upon seeing him and his group.
"Well done!" Xu Yunfeng nodded and praised.
Then, he took out his identity token and handed it to one of the gang members, "Take my token and find Deputy Leader Hong Chengtao. Tell him that I owe him a favor and request his assistance here. This is also the task assigned by the Third Young Master."
"Yes, Hall Master!" The gang member respectfully took the token upon hearing the mention of the Third Young Master.
The disciple hurried off to deliver Xu Yunfeng's message to Deputy Leader Hong Chengtao.
As the disciple swiftly left, a woman in a leopard-skin mini-skirt and a chest wrap standing beside Xu Yunfeng couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction.
"Hall Master, it's just about killing Jiang Ning. Is it necessary to go this far and ask Deputy Leader Hong Chengtao for help?"
"Hong Chengtao has achieved Perfection in Skin Tempering and possesses a strength of eight hundred jin. He's a formidable opponent."
"Having him join us to kill a mere novice who has only practiced martial arts for a month seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?"
"With the two of us helping, it should be more than enough to deal with Jiang Ning! Don't you agree, Brother Yuan?"
As the woman said this, she raised her arm and gestured towards another man standing beside her.
The man named Yuan immediately spoke up, "Sister Xiaoyu is right! Two Deputy Hall Masters and one Hall Master, surely we can handle a novice like Jiang Ning who has only practiced for a little over a month?"
"Even if he's a genius favored by Shen Congyun, what of it? At most, he's only been training for a little over a month. How much skill could he have gained in such a short time?"
"Sister Xiaoyu has achieved Mastery in Vital Energy with a strength of four hundred jin. I've even reached Perfection in Vital Energy, surpassing five hundred jin."
"Add to that, Hall Master Xu has made progress in Skin Tempering, entering the ranks of the Ninth Stage Martial Dao."
"With the three of us joining forces, how could Jiang Ning, with just over a month of martial arts training, possibly escape from us?"
Hearing their words, Xu Yunfeng couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The Deputy Hall Masters do have a point, but the Third Young Master of the Cao family has spoken. Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it still exerts all its strength!"
"This Jiang Ning has caught the attention of Shen Congyun, and we can't guarantee that there won't be any mishaps!"
"Since we're taking action against him, we must give it our all to ensure success. After all, if we fail, we won't just offend Jiang Ning, but also a prominent figure like Shen Congyun!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I can't ask the Gang Leader to intervene right now, to ensure absolute success, I would have invited the Gang Leader as well."
Hearing this, the two Deputy Hall Masters, one of them named Yuan, shook his head slightly, "Hall Master Xu, you're being overly cautious!"
"I don't think it's being cautious, but rather making a mountain out of a molehill!" The Deputy Hall Master named Xiaoyu immediately interjected.
Xu Yunfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this and chose not to say more, allowing the Deputy Hall Masters to vent their complaints.
In his opinion, as long as they could cooperate with him to accomplish this task, that was all that mattered.
As for the rest, he couldn't be bothered with it.
Although in his heart, he also felt that their group alone was sufficient to handle the task.
However, to ensure absolute success, he chose the most foolproof approach by seeking the assistance of Deputy Leader Hong Chengtao.
With Hong Chengtao, who had achieved Perfection in Skin Tempering and possessed a strength of eight hundred jin, joining the fray, that was the true guarantee of success.
In Xu Yunfeng's eyes, this task could only succeed and must not fail.
It was crucial for his future plans.
Success meant gaining Cao Bin's approval and entering the Patrol Bureau.
From there, he could change his fate and take control of his destiny.
Therefore, in Xu Yunfeng's eyes, no amount of caution would be excessive.
This was because the task was far too important.
Meanwhile, as the two Deputy Hall Masters saw Xu Yunfeng remain silent, they also refrained from saying more.
After all, Xu Yunfeng was a member of the Third Young Master Cao's faction.
If they didn't give Xu Yunfeng face, they would also be disrespecting the Third Young Master of the Cao family.
Wanhua Tower.
Jiang Ning exited Lin Qingyi's room and headed to the back of the tower.
Seeing that no one was around and the maid from earlier had already left, he made a decision.
Right there, he decided to open the box left by Shen Congyun to see what it contained.
After all, there was no safer place in all of Luo Shui County than this.
The next moment, he placed the box on the wooden table and unlatched the lock.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the wooden box opened.
Inside, he found a secret manual and several small canisters.
[Indestructible Vajra Body]
Holding the manual, Jiang Ning saw these four large characters on the book.
"Indestructible Vajra Body?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
He continued to speak softly, "It seems my previous guess was correct. Senior Shen has indeed left me a Skin Tempering technique, and it must be an extraordinary one, or he wouldn't have entrusted it to me through Lin Qingyi with such seriousness."
At this thought, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Senior Shen has helped me too much!"
Then, he picked up the [Indestructible Vajra Body] and slowly flipped through its pages.
[Literacy Experience +1]
[Literacy Experience +1]
[Literacy Experience +1]
As Jiang Ning continued to read, his literacy experience kept increasing.
Soon after, Lin Qingyi pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ning slowly perusing an ancient, yellowed tome on the balcony of the tower.
"This must be what Shen Congyun left for him?" Lin Qingyi muttered to herself.
She paused, not wanting to disturb him.
After a moment, as Jiang Ning continued to flip through the ancient book, Lin Qingyi caught a glimpse of the words on its cover.
"Indestructible Vajra Body?" She slightly furrowed her brows, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Did Shen Congyun actually get his hands on this ancient tome? Could he have visited Vajra Temple?"
"No wonder he treated it with such reverence. It's this ancient tome!"
"But this must not be the complete Indestructible Vajra Body."
"After all, the genuine, complete Indestructible Vajra Body is said to be possessed only by Vajra Temple. With Shen Congyun's abilities, how could he possibly obtain the complete version from Vajra Temple?"
"Vajra Temple, a place with Great Grandmasters and even higher-level practitioners."
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyi shook her head.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning continued to flip through the pages, and as he did, he noticed that his literacy experience points were increasing rapidly.
After a while, he finished reading.
[Reading the Indestructible Vajra Body has increased your literacy experience by a total of 438 points.]
Seeing this prompt, Jiang Ning was taken aback.
"So much? 438 experience points?"
He quickly opened the panel to check again.
[Skills]: Literacy (Secondary Limit Break 543/3000) (Characteristics: Photographic Memory, Extraordinary Senses)
"It really increased by 438 experience points?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself, filled with astonishment.
He looked again at the ancient tome in his hands, titled [Indestructible Vajra Body].
"Just a fragment, and yet, simply by reading it, my literacy skills gained so many experience points. What level is this Indestructible Vajra Body?"
At this moment, Jiang Ning was utterly amazed.
From his reading, he learned that this ancient tome, the Indestructible Vajra Body, had an extraordinary origin.
It was even considered one of the foundational martial arts.
According to the records, if the Indestructible Vajra Body was cultivated to perfection, one could supposedly forge an immortal golden body.
This golden body was said to be impervious to blades and arrows, immune to all external influences.
Even in ancient times, with the support of this cultivation technique, one could supposedly challenge celestial beings with a mortal body.
It was even claimed that those who mastered it could stand invincible against opponents of the same level.
Such claims clearly demonstrated the power of the Indestructible Vajra Body.
However, after reading it, Jiang Ning realized that the Indestructible Vajra Body in his hands was merely a fragment.
A fragment that could only be cultivated to a minor level of success.
Although it was just a minor success, its effects were still significant.
The minor success of the Indestructible Vajra Body was enough to help him achieve perfection in skin tempering, making his skin as hard as copper.
This allowed him to enter the Eighth Stage of Martial Dao and surpass the Divine Strength Realm.
Moreover, the skin membrane cultivated through this Indestructible Vajra Body was, on average, 30-50% stronger than that of similar cultivation techniques.
This further showcased the power of the Indestructible Vajra Body.
"I wonder what level of martial arts cultivation technique is the Indestructible Vajra Body?" Jiang Ning wondered to himself.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyi, seeing Jiang Ning snap out of his trance, approached him.
"Sister Lin!" Jiang Ning greeted her upon noticing her presence.
"Is this what Shen Congyun left for you?" Lin Qingyi asked, pointing to the ancient tome in Jiang Ning's hands.
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded and added, "This golden body technique is truly a valuable gift!"
"Of course!" Lin Qingyi replied, "The complete version of the Indestructible Vajra Body is the supreme martial art of Vajra Temple, one of the top sects in Great Xia."
"Oh, I see!" Jiang Ning exclaimed, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! Shen Congyun left only a fragment, allowing me to cultivate a minor success, resulting in a skin as tough as copper."
Hearing this, Lin Qingyi's heart was finally at ease.
She chuckled, "What, were you expecting the complete version? That's the supreme art of Vajra Temple, a level above even the most powerful techniques."
"And Vajra Temple has no fewer than twenty Grandmasters, and several Great Grandmasters!"
"Shen Congyun not only lacked the qualifications to obtain the complete Indestructible Vajra Body, but even if he had it, he wouldn't dare reveal it. That would bring trouble upon himself!"
Jiang Ning was stunned by Lin Qingyi's words.
"Vajra Temple is that formidable?"
"Of course!" Lin Qingyi explained, "It's one of the top sects in Great Xia. You should know that in Great Xia, sects and the royal family share power."
"The sects are incredibly powerful, especially ancient ones like Vajra Temple, which possess the heritage of ancient times."
"Unless the Martial Sage himself were to intervene, even a governor of an entire province would struggle to make Vajra Temple yield."
Jiang Ning listened intently, silently memorizing Lin Qingyi's words.
