"Of course! Brother Jiang is the Commander of the Inspection Office, and in Luoshui County, he’s a prominent figure. Who wouldn’t give Brother Jiang so respect?"
"I would be content if I could achieve even a fraction of Brother Jiang’s accomplishnts. That would an I’ve made my mark!!"
"..."
All of a sudden.
The crowd gathered at the front gate of the martial arts hall, chattering relentlessly.
Jiang Ning is a legendary figure who erged from the Canglang Martial Arts Hall.
For these ordinary disciples who joined the martial arts hall, his na was long familiar to them.
Previously, they had only heard tales of Jiang Ning, but now that the man himself was present, it naturally drew them to gather and watch.
On the other side.
The backyard of the martial arts hall.
Wang Jin, upon hearing the commotion from the front yard, could not help but listen intently.
The next mont.
Wang Jin’s face broke into a smile.
"So it’s him. No wonder there’s such a stir."
Thinking of Jiang Ning’s achievents, Wang Jin couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Who would have thought that, initially just an ordinary disciple learning martial arts, he would now beco a figure of power in Luoshui County, capable of dominating a city.
Afterwards, he composed himself, steadied his emotions, and walked toward the front yard.
...
"Master Wang!"
"Greetings, Master Wang!"
"Master Wang!"
"..."
Upon seeing Wang Jin appear, all the disciples imdiately paid their respects.
Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning with a cheerful deanor.
"Master!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.
Wang Jin nodded.
Then he scolded those around him, "Disperse, disperse! Instead of practicing properly, you’re here gossiping like won!"
Upon hearing Wang Jin’s reprimand, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.
Subsequently, Wang Jin said to Jiang Ning.
"Co to the backyard with ! There are too many people and too much chatter here."
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.
...
In the backyard.
Wang Jin cast a glance at the dozens of pounds of fish at in Lv Yi’s hand.
"Why bring stuff when you’re just coming for a visit?"
"And letting a young girl carry such heavy things, you really have no consideration."
Jiang Ning chuckled.
"Master, I got my hands on sothing good a few days ago and thought I’d share it with you."
"Sothing good?" Wang Jin’s gaze fell on the fish at in Lv Yi’s hands again, and he couldn’t help but recall the good stuff Jiang Ning had brought before.
The at of the White Dragon Fish.
At that mont.
Jiang Ning said, "Master, this is fish at from an electric eel with over two hundred years of Dao."
"Over two hundred years of Dao?" Wang Jin murmured, then his expression changed, "Could this be an electric eel turned demon?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning confird with a nod.
"Hiss—" Wang Jin inhaled sharply upon hearing this.
Then he said, "In these tis, where on earth did you find an electric eel with over two hundred years of Dao?"
Jiang Ning replied, "In Luoshui Lake."
"Luoshui Lake?" Wang Jin’s face showed surprise.
"At the bottom of Luoshui Lake." Jiang Ning spoke again.
"I see!!" Wang Jin nodded, then asked, "How strong was the electric eel with over two hundred years of Dao?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning recalled the scene at the ti and said, "Not bad!"
Wang Jin: "..."
A demon with over two hundred years of Dao received rely a "not bad" evaluation from Jiang Ning.
Which made him instantly realize that Jiang Ning was now not ordinary.
Imdiately, he suppressed his curiosity and once again looked at the fish at in Lv Yi’s hands.
"You are thoughtful!"
Then he looked at Lv Yi, "Young lady, give it to !"
Lv Yi glanced at Jiang Ning, and upon seeing Jiang Ning nod slightly, she handed the fish at to Wang Jin.
"Goodness, this must be nearly thirty pounds!" Wang Jin weighed the fish at in his hand, showing a slightly surprised expression.
"About right!" Jiang Ning said.
Wang Jin casually hung the fish at on a tree nearby.
"Let’s sit down and talk!" he gestured to Jiang Ning.
...
"Master, I plan to leave Luoshui County today."
"Where to?" Wang Jin asked.
"To Dongling City!"
"At this ti..." Wang Jin murmured, then looked at Jiang Ning, "Are you planning to participate in the martial arts examination?"
Jiang Ning replied, "That’s one of the reasons. There are many other reasons too!"
Wang Jin nodded imdiately, "Go ahead! I hope that one day a martial arts champion will erge from this martial arts hall."
"That day will surely co." Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jin imdiately smiled: "If that day really cos, then I’d be over the moon! Training a Martial Arts Champion, who wouldn’t give a few complints!"
Jiang Ning chuckled at this.
Then his expression turned serious.
"Master, please don’t stay in Luoshui County during this ti, you should leave! Also, don’t go to any cities near Luoshui Lake!"
"Why?" Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning’s serious expression and voiced his doubt.
"It’s not very safe!" Jiang Ning shook his head.
He continued: "These past few days, I’ve gone to Luoshui Lake and discovered traces of a Great Demon. For so reason, it’s been crazily slaughtering water creatures, refining them to enhance its Dao! I suspect that it will choose to co ashore soon."
"A Great Demon?"
"Co ashore?"
Wang Jin’s expression also instantly beca serious.
"Is your information reliable?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded: "I personally investigated in the lake."
"Let think about it!!" Wang Jin showed a pondering expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning said no more.
He had already shared the news with Wang Jin, and as for the decision, he couldn’t interfere.
After all, any choice Wang Jin made had his own reasons behind it.
Monts later.
By the ti it was Si Hour.
Jiang Ning looked up at the Great Sun overhead, then glanced at the sundial in the courtyard.
"Master, it’s Si Hour now, I need to practice my routine!"
"Si Hour?" Wang Jin was slightly surprised at these words, then suddenly realized: "You kid, has your Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill reached small success?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.
"Remarkable!" Wang Jin exclaid in admiration and continued: "Much stronger than !"
He then got up: "I won’t delay your practice any longer, I’ll leave the courtyard to you, I’m going to get so grilled fish to taste."
After Wang Jin left.
Jiang Ning casually found a clean and spacious spot to sit cross-legged.
Adopting a posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven.
He imdiately began using the Great Sun Breathing Technique toward the Great Sun overhead.
With each inhale and exhale, a strand of crimson Great Sun True Qi descended from the sky, directly entering his body.
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 1]
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 1]
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 1]
[...]
Two hours quickly passed.
Before it was even noon, Jiang Ning ceased his practice of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (small success 4049/5000)
"I’ve accumulated four thousand points!"
"If all goes well, in ten days, my Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill should reach Great Success, reaching the level of Inner Breath Like Gang, Five Internal Organs Thunder Sound."
Jiang Ning thought to himself and then stood up.
...
Leaving from Wang Jin’s place.
It was already 12:15 PM.
Ordinarily, he would have stayed at the martial arts hall to have a al with Wang Jin.
But today was different.
Soon he was to set off for Dongling City.
And before leaving, he needed to visit the Inspection Office and the Wanhua Building.
Ti was of the essence, so he chose not to have lunch at the martial arts hall.
Upon leaving the martial arts hall.
He instructed Lv Yi to return ho alone to pack their belongings.
It was now 12:15 PM.
If they didn’t start packing now, it would cause delays later.
After all, this trip to the county city of Dongling County would be a long journey, and they would be living outside for several days.
Going on a long journey required packing and bringing many things.
After sending Lv Yi off, he headed alone towards the Inspection Office.
...
After leaving the Inspection Office, he went toward the Wanhua Building.
This ti he no longer restrained himself.
His figure flew between the buildings with incredible speed.
In no ti.
He landed at the entrance of the Wanhua Building.
...
On the rooftop of the Wanhua Building.
"In the middle of the day, what are you doing here?" Lin Qingyi, dressed in a breast-length ruqun, revealed her fair arms.
When she appeared in front of Jiang Ning, she was still yawning constantly.
At this mont, the ruqun was tightly fitted around her chest, making it evident that the cyan gauze ruqun was a bit small for her.
"Did Sister Lin just wake up?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Lin Qingyi rolled her eyes at Jiang Ning: "Don’t you know it’s unethical to disturb soone’s sweet dreams?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
He looked at the nearly vertical sunlight shadows on the balcony, feeling speechless.
It was already 12:15 PM.
