Chapter 533: Chapter 132: Breakthrough, Inner Breath like the Sea._2
“Although it’s snowing, the temperature is noticeably better than before, it seems that winter is leaving and spring is not far off.”
At this mont, although the weather dropped sharply overnight, bringing heavy snow,
it also prevented him from continuing to absorb Great Sun Essence Qi, thus increasing the experience value of his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
But Jiang Ning’s face not only lacked any worry, but also showed delight.
Because after the temperature dropped, it was noticeably less cold than before.
This also indicated that the temperature was gradually warming up.
It was clear that before long, winter would turn to spring and naturally bring bright, sunny weather.
At that ti, his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill would be able to progress smoothly, just like last year.
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (small success 2773/5000)
He glanced at his panel and then closed it.
Thanks to the recent good weather, the progress of his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill had also significantly increased.
He was now more than halfway to reaching the progress needed for his Inner Breath to be Condensed into Gang.
He closed the panel imdiately, turned to close the door, and walked toward the courtyard.
The next mont,
A figure rushed excitedly into Jiang Ning’s courtyard.
“Young master, you’re awake!!” Lv Yi looked at Jiang Ning excitedly, her little face flushed with a noticeable drop of sweat on the tip of her nose.
“Little Lv, what’s this about…” Jiang Ning began.
Full of excitent, Lv Yi said, “Young master, I’ve reached Eighth Grade!”
“Eighth Grade?” Jiang Ning imdiately smiled and nodded, “Good!”
“Hehe!!” Hearing Jiang Ning’s praise, Lv Yi imdiately chuckled gleefully.
After that,
She said, “Young master, please wait a mont, I’ll go get your toiletries! I got up and saw the heavy snow, so I soaked the willow branch and towel in hot water already, and I’ve also prepared saltwater for you.”
With that, Lv Yi hurried off towards her own side cottage.
Seeing Lv Yi like this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.
He could tell that at this mont, Lv Yi was very happy and in a great mood.
“Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm?”
“It seems that the effects of my blood and flesh are indeed strong, soday, eating my at, drinking my blood, they could extend life and have the strength to move mountains!”
“By that day, wouldn’t I beco another Tang Seng?”
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning laughed and shook his head.
His blood and flesh were all imbued with his mark.
Like Lv Yi now, although she had achieved Eighth Grade, the mont he stripped away his power, she would perish in an instant.
The more of his blood and flesh she absorbed, the deeper her connection with him.
Of course, he could also remove his mark.
By doing so, he would lose the ability to strip away his own power.
His blood and flesh would then beco a brilliant great dicine, capable of enhancing other’s physical bodies.
He was very satisfied with the effects of this authority.
Although improving soone else’s strength required him to give up so of his own power,
Whether it’s blood or flesh, stripping it off would affect him sowhat.
Although the impact wasn’t great, it was real.
But compared to the effect, the boost provided was of far greater value.
With this ability, he could cultivate truly trustworthy confidants.
The cost was minimal, and as long as the quantity wasn’t too much, he was completely willing to accept it.
The fraction that dissipated from him could yield tens to hundreds of tis the effect in others.
Monts later,
Lv Yi ca toward Jiang Ning, carrying a basin of hot water along with his toiletries.
“Young master, please clean up first! After you’re done, I’ll go to the kitchen and get so warm at soup for you.”
“Mm!” Jiang Ning nodded.
He took the soaked willow branch, bit it open to form fibers, then dabbed it into the white salt, as fine as snowflakes.
Then, he took a warm sip of saltwater, gargled a few tis, and spat out the saltwater, before starting to clean his teeth with the willow branch.
For him at this stage in Martial Arts,
Whether or not he brushed his teeth was no longer important.
But brushing his teeth every morning was a habit he had cultivated over thousands of nights.
At this ti, the psychological effect of washing up and brushing teeth was greater than the actual effect for him.
After brushing his teeth, Lv Yi quickly handed over a wrung-out hot towel.
After washing his face, he grabbed a hot towel to dry his hands.
Lv Yi quickly took the towel Jiang Ning handed over and said, “Young Master, I’ll bring the at soup right away!”
“Uh-huh,” Jiang Ning nodded.
Then, he watched Lv Yi’s figure gradually grow distant.
“So comfortable! Too comfortable!!”
“If this goes on, I’ll lose the ability to live independently!”
These days, Jiang Ning had co to deeply appreciate what’s called a life of ease.
All the daily affairs didn’t require his attention; Lv Yi would take care of them in an orderly fashion.
This also made him feel as though he was rapidly declining.
He was increasingly enjoying this kind of life.
“Taking in Lv Yi, that decision really was right!” Reflecting on past days, he felt a flood of emotions in his heart.
Afterward, he ward up his body.
A mont later.
Lv Yi carrying a tray from the dining hall appeared in front of him, and upon opening the food container.
A bowl of steaming at soup appeared before his eyes, its rich aty aroma making him eager to eat.
After a big bowl of at soup, Jiang Ning imdiately felt a warm sensation flowing throughout his body, extrely comforting.
Then, he continued to practice boxing, heedless of the fierce snowstorm.
His courtyard had also beco sowhat barren due to the noise from his boxing practice.
The previous artificial mountain and several large trees within the yard had been cleared, leaving only the pavilion surrounded by a small bridge and running water, the bamboo grove beside the pavilion, and a few large trees by the walls.
…
Elsewhere.
Qujiang County.
“Master Bai, why take a detour into the city all of a sudden?” Xiao Ei stepped out of the carriage, looking at Bai Luoyu with confusion.
Bai Luoyu smiled, “With such harsh weather, we naturally need to take shelter from the snow.”
As he spoke, Bai Luoyu stood on the carriage shaft, lightly shaking his folding fan, clad in white clothes, looking radiant as jade. Xiao Ei stood next to him, a head shorter, like a pair of ethereal beings, drawing the gazes of those entering the city.
Xiao Ei: “…”
She looked at Bai Luoyu at that mont, speechless.
She really wanted to say, with the weather so cold, why still fan yourself? Are you sick?
But she only dared to voice these thoughts in her heart, not out loud.
Although she was ranked third on the Human List.
The Human List only accounted for Guangning Prefecture’s extraordinary talents.
Guangning Prefecture was but a small prefecture, covering lands of three counties.
While the prefectures of greater size ruled over six to seven counties, twice as much as Guangning Prefecture.
Therefore, the Human List of Guangning Prefecture did not hold particularly high value.
Above the Human List was the regional Earth List.
The Earth List comprised the outstanding talents under thirty years of age across a whole province.
In Dongling County, there were also those who had made it onto the Earth List, and their strength far exceeded hers.
To her knowledge, Bai Luoyu had touched on the tail end of the Earth List two years ago.
That was also why Bai Luoyu was able to advance to the Tao Palace for further studies.
Therefore, Xiao Ei was very clear that she was no match for Bai Luoyu.
She was still not as good as Bai Luoyu from two years ago, let alone the current Bai Luoyu.
So, what exactly Bai Luoyu’s strength was, she did not quite understand.
Whether he had reached the Inner Breath Like Gang, strong enough to rival the older generation, she also had no certainty.
Moreover, considering Bai Luoyu’s status, which could command Su Zhi, the Deputy Mansion Master of the Inspection Office and Martial Arts Fourth Grade, to treat him with respect, how could she compare?
Afterward.
Xiao Ei could only nod, “Then let’s do as Master Bai says and enter the city to take shelter from the snow.”
Then, Xiao Ei asked, “Master Bai, when shall we continue our journey to Luoshui County?”
“Why the rush?” Bai Luoyu lightly shook the fan in his hand, smile on his lips, “We’ve been traveling for several days, jostled and exhausted; let’s consider this issue after taking a hot bath!”
“Master Bai, our ti is precious! Every day’s delay on the road is a day of wasted life!” Xiao Ei couldn’t help frowning.
Bai Luoyu’s lips held a smile, “What’s the rush! Martial Arts is about relaxation as much as tension, a string pulled too tight is bound to snap, and that might not be a good thing! Rest well for a few days; we’ll set out once the snow stops and the sky clears.”
As the words fell.
“Miss Xiao, let’s enter the city,” Bai Luoyu said.
Hearing Bai Luoyu’s firm tone, Xiao Ei could only nod in agreent.
