It signifies that he has been here, leaving behind traces of his presence.
...
The next day.
The sky is just beginning to brighten.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door, the courtyard still filled with dew.
Despite the fact that it hasn’t rained much around Dongling City except for the two showers summoned by Linglong.
But due to the Dongling Mountain Range behind, the drought hasn’t had a significant impact on Dongling City.
Moreover, the two heavy rains not long ago drenched the mountains and forests, the water flow of Nu River didn’t diminish, causing the morning air of Dongling City to be moist.
The mountain wind blowing from the depths of Dongling Mountain Range at midnight makes the air always rich with moisture in the mornings these days.
"The people of Dongling County should still survive!" Feeling the moisture in the air, Jiang Ning smiled.
Then, he looked at his panel, his eyes suddenly lit up.
[Source Energy]: 68173
The Source Energy Points, after yesterday’s consumption, have again risen to over 68,000 points, not decreasing but increasing.
"It’s been a long ti since I’ve been this wealthy!" Looking at the current Source Energy Points on the panel, Jiang Ning felt relaxed in his heart.
The Source Energy Points had been lacking daily recently, he wished he could use one as two.
Now they seem endless even if he wanted to use them.
This huge change is due to the support from Water Moon Sword Palace and the Five Sword Sect, these two century-old sects.
He then waved his hand casually.
As golden light flashed in his hand.
Several Red Fla Blood Crystals were taken out from the Jiezhi Leaf.
"Twenty-eight left!" He counted briefly, thoughts flashing through his mind.
Although there aren’t many left, he isn’t anxious.
Because various immovable properties of the Five Sword Sect handled by Water Moon Sword Palace, Xiao Ei still needs to pay him a lot of money.
At the sa ti, Water Moon Sword Palace already owes him wealth.
In the coming ti, Water Moon Sword Palace will continue to send resources to him.
Now his strength doesn’t fear whatever tricks Water Moon Sword Palace might play.
Then, he grabbed a Red Fla Blood Crystal, storing the rest back in the pouch.
Crunch—
After tossing that Red Fla Blood Crystal into his mouth, his jaws chewed and instantly crushed it into pieces, then swallowed into his stomach.
With the body’s automatic absorption, he felt countless streams flowing from his stomach, then rushing into various parts of his body.
Afterwards.
He rinsed briefly.
Sitting cross-legged by the lake, breathing in the fresh air, he began maneuvering his Qi-Blood to aid in digesting the Red Fla Blood Crystal he just consud.
A Red Fla Blood Crystal, with a market price of a hundred taels of gold, contains quite a bit of energy.
But now his physique is strong, like a dragon and an elephant, with Qi-Blood vast like the sea.
Maneuvering his Qi-Blood, the Red Fla Blood Crystal he swallowed into his stomach is swiftly digested by him.
After a cup of tea ti.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes.
"Not bad!" He nodded slightly, feeling his body not yet full, he knew he could continue refining Red Fla Blood Crystals.
The more his body can consu, the faster he can recover from the loss of recreating new blood.
He then took out one more, tossed it into his mouth, chewed briefly, then swallowed the fragnted stone.
...
After thirty minutes.
Jiang Ning stood up.
"After eating three, my body feels full!"
"Based on the current state, it should take two or three days for my body to completely recover from the previous loss!"
Having replenished the body’s current need for digestion, Jiang Ning instructed Linglong and Old Turtle briefly, also greeted Liuu Wanwan who was making breakfast, then chose to set off directly.
Not relying on Water Escape Divine Ability, although his speed is now fast, the journey still takes considerable ti.
Yesterday, he originally planned to rely on waterway to quickly reach Sunset Valley, thus requiring less ti.
But after completing the Wind and Thunder Steps breakthrough, today at ho he focuses mainly on practicing this movent technique.
The Wind and Thunder Steps, after seven tis limit-breaking, is still not enough to allow him to reach the level of connecting with the Heavenly Person, inducing Heaven and Earth Spirit chanism into the body.
Since that’s the case, he simply set off.
Practicing this cultivation technique at ho, using Wind and Thunder Steps to travel, is also practicing the movent technique’s Experience Value, making no difference to him.
...
As the sun rises, golden light piercing through clouds, shining on ancient city walls, Jiang Ning’s figure moved like the wind, out of the city.
"Sunset Valley!"
Walking on the road outside the city, Jiang Ning’s target directly points to the direction of Sunset Valley.
Sunset Valley is located ten miles south of Divine Sword Manor.
With the foot strength of a martial artist, a distance of ten miles can be reached in at most half a tea ti.
This ti, when taking action against Divine Sword Manor, after discussing with Zhao Yulong, the martial artists above the Eighth Grade in the Inspection Office are making a collective move.
As for the Ninth Grade martial artists, they remain in Dongling City.
Because Divine Sword Manor is the foremost force in Dongling County apart from the court.
The number of strong fighters exceeds that of the Five Sword Sect.
The whole manor holds a population of over three thousand, of which eighty percent bear the surna Shangguan, and half of the population shares the sa bloodline, belonging to the sa clan as Shangguan Guyun.
In terms of cohesion and strength, Divine Sword Manor is far stronger than the Five Sword Sect.
Because besides half of its mbers belonging to the sa clan, the rest are Martial Arts prodigies, with nurous geniuses joining Divine Sword Manor over the past hundred years.
This is what has led to the current situation of Divine Sword Manor.
Half of the mbers are from the Shangguan clan, sharing the sa bloodline.
Thirty percent have been granted the surna Shangguan or have married into or been integrated into Divine Sword Manor.
The remaining twenty percent are non-family mbers and talented disciples newly recruited over the years.
As Jiang Ning traveled, information about Divine Sword Manor flashed through his mind.
When taking action against Divine Sword Manor, the key is swift military action.
Now, since Shangguan Guyun has been dead for more than a day, Divine Sword Manor and the Yingtian Alliance are unlikely to know about Shangguan Guyun’s demise, making this the best ti to strike against Divine Sword Manor and the Mitian Sect.
If Divine Sword Manor and the Yingtian Alliance beco aware of this situation and react, stronger individuals than Shangguan Guyun will surely co to take up residence.
Even Li Sixiang might personally step in, making things much more complicated.
...
Along the way.
Jiang Ning was using Wind and Thunder Steps.
As he traversed the mountainous wilderness, his speed surpassed the sound barrier.
Yet his actions were as gentle as a breeze, causing little disturbance.
This phenonon indicated his high skill level in the Wind Realm.
With every movent, he had already rged with the wind.
[Wind and Thunder Steps Experience Value 1]
[Wind and Thunder Steps Experience Value 1]
[Wind and Thunder Steps Experience Value 1]
[...]
As ti passed, the progress of Wind and Thunder Steps steadily increased.
...
Noon.
An expansive river blocked Jiang Ning’s path.
On the wind-beaten boundary monunt on the riverbank, two large characters were inscribed.
Cangjiang.
Jiang Ning also stopped in his tracks.
[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Steps (Seven tis limit-breaking 476/8000) (Traits: Wind Breathing, Gale and Lightning, Chasing Wind and Lightning, Wind Rhythm, Shrinking Ground to Inches, Wind Speaker, Abyss Peace and Wind Prostration)
"Four hundred points this morning. It seems I’ll need more ti!" A thought flashed through his mind as he closed the panel.
Then, he found a clean boulder by the river, sat down, and began Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.
...
11:30.
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Once limit-breaking 3687/20000) (Trait: Longevity Species)
Jiang Ning stood up, glanced at the panel, and then closed it.
The next mont.
Looking at the river, over a hundred yards wide, he leaped forward and walked on the waves.
There were several boats drifting downstream on the river.
Cangjiang, as a canal directly leading to Yang Lake, skirts a small part of Dongling County and flows towards Nanyue County, traversing a third of its area before heading further south to Yang Lake.
This canal often has boats coming and going during ordinary tis.
Today, the river appeared busier.
"Grandfather, look!!!" A red-clad young girl on a three-story boat pointed at the river, directing attention to Jiang Ning.
Upon hearing this, an elderly man with white eyebrows who had just stepped out of a room, flickered and then arrived at the edge of the deck.
"What an impressive movent technique, what a striking young lad!" The elderly man with white eyebrows watched Jiang Ning crossing the river and praised him.
"Grandfather, can his river-crossing skill compare to yours?" the girl asked.
The old man chuckled: "Your grandfather earned the title of Desert Flying Eagle."
He then watched Jiang Ning’s impressive crossing of the Cangjiang, with his eyes showing a slight flicker.
"Such a young individual, with such an impressive movent technique and appearance, yet I’ve never heard of such a person!"
