Chapter 626: Chapter 20 Great Success of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, Just a Step Away!_2
He didn’t need to sneak into the artificial lake in Luoshui County to recover from his energy loss after each intense practice session.
In this courtyard with an artificial lake, he could enter the lake at any ti to recuperate from the depletion caused by his training.
This artificial lake was also connected to a one-zhang wide stream outside, which then led to the Nu River running through Dongling City.
…
“Young master, this is your room!” Lv Yi said as she opened the door.
Jiang Ning nodded: “You may leave now!”
“Yes, young master!” Lv Yi replied and left imdiately.
After Lv Yi had gone far away.
Jiang Ning’s gaze fell once again on the dark room ahead.
“Co out!” he said calmly.
In the next mont.
A figure dressed in black tight nightwear, with a black face veil, slowly stepped out from the darkness of the room.
Their footsteps were silent.
It was clear they weren’t wearing any shoes.
“Xiao Ei, how did you know this was my room?” Jiang Ning asked indifferently.
With just one glance, he could discern the silhouette belonged to Xiao Ei.
After all, he had seen Xiao Ei fully that night, and with his unforgettable mory, it was hard to forget.
And tonight, Xiao Ei’s attire was exactly the sa as that night.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.
Xiao Ei imdiately reached up to untie the black veil on her face, revealing her beautiful features.
“Sir, because this courtyard is the most luxurious in this mansion and clearly shows no signs of residence, I guessed it was reserved particularly for you.”
Saying this, Xiao Ei gave a slight smile: “It seems my guess was correct!”
“What brings you here?” Jiang Ning asked as he spoke.
He also stepped into the room.
Then he walked to the table and let his fingers lightly touch the candlestick, instantly lighting the candlewick, filling the room with bright candlelight.
Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Xiao Ei’s eyes.
Then she said: “I found Yu Manyun today and probed her intentions. She currently has no intention of giving up, so I rushed here tonight to warn you to be cautious of her and not underestimate her.”
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Ning nodded.
Then said: “Do you know the exact capabilities of Yu Manyun?”
“Yu Manyun is slightly weaker than , but not by much!” Xiao Ei replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning understood.
He had already tested Xiao Ei’s strength firsthand, so he was naturally aware.
He imdiately had an idea of Yu Manyun’s abilities as well.
Then he waved his hand.
“I understand, you may leave!”
“Sir…” Xiao Ei hesitated for a mont, then continued: “I just arrived in Luoshui County today and don’t have a place to stay. Could I stay here for the night?”
No place to stay, asking to stay for a night.
Upon hearing Xiao Ei’s words, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Who would believe such a thing?
The Water Moon Sword Palace has a base in Dongling City.
Xiao Ei, as the senior sister of Water Moon Sword Palace, certainly would have her own manor.
She wanted to stay overnight, clearly intending to use her charms.
In this aspect, he wasn’t even confident that he could resist at the crucial mont.
Moreover, he wasn’t interested in a woman ten years his senior.
“There’s no extra bed here; please return!” Jiang Ning said.
“We can squeeze!” Xiao Ei hesitated, her gaze unsure as she spoke.
“I don’t like to sleep cramd!” Jiang Ning replied.
Xiao Ei: “…”
A mont later.
Jiang Ning opened the door.
From behind him ca Jiang Ning’s voice: “Rember to close the door!”
“Yes!!” Xiao Ei gritted her teeth and spat out the word firmly.
Then she closed the door, instantly falling into a state of self-doubt.
“Could it be, am I not attractive? Or is my figure not good?”
As the thought arose, she glanced down at her figure.
She could see her flat stomach and her feet.
In the next mont.
Her form moved, and like a phantom, she vanished from Jiang Ning’s courtyard.
Even under the bright moonlight, her figure was difficult to capture.
Inside.
Though it was not yet late at night.
Jiang Ning chose to undress and go to bed directly.
After traveling back and forth these days, even with his body, he started to feel a bit tired.
Once in bed, he imdiately slled the scent of sunshine left on the bedding.
That was a scent he once loved to sll very much.
As a child, he thought it was the scent of sunlight.
Only later did he realize that it was the sll of mites being killed by the sun.
…
The next day.
A ray of sunlight slanted through the window lattice, casting a diagonal light on the bed.
Jiang Ning’s eyelids fluttered slightly, trembling a few tis before he slowly opened his eyes.
The room was now bright with the light of the rising sun.
“I didn’t expect to sleep so long this ti?”
Jiang Ning slowly got up and looked through the window lattice toward the distant sky.
At this ti, the morning sun rose from the mountains behind it, golden light enveloping the entire world, as if the mountains behind were coated with a layer of gold.
The morning clouds of various colors filled the entire eastern sky.
“The weather looks like it’s about to change!” Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.
He then turned over and got out of bed, opening the panel.
[Source Energy]: 3533.31
[Skill]:
Reading and Writing (Six tis breaking limit 2766/7000) (Trait: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension, Heavenly Vision, Sixth Sense Transcendent)

“Just one step away from the great success of Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, the weather shouldn’t turn bad!”
He worriedly looked through the window lattice again toward the eastern sky.
The sky was imprinted with morning clouds, and in his impression, the weather could easily change suddenly on such days.
There was a saying in the past life.
“Do not leave ho in the morning clouds, travel thousands of miles by the evening clouds!”
As his thoughts drifted.
He dressed in thin white pants and a shirt, pushed open the door, and stepped outside.
“Splash——”
At this mont.
A spray of water splashed in the lake in front, and Jiang Ning saw a golden-red shadow flash through the lake.
“Linglong, co out!” he called.
As his voice fell.
In less than one breath.
The Dragon Carp, covered in golden-red scales with a tail fin like morning clouds, appeared before him.
The Dragon Carp floated on the water’s surface, looking at Jiang Ning and blowing bubbles silently.
“Linglong, why did you co here? Didn’t I say to stay in my niece’s courtyard?”
“Master!” The Dragon Carp’s sowhat timid voice sounded in the lake: “I’ll go back right now!”
As she spoke.
The Dragon Carp flicked her tail and shot through the lake like a rainbow.
“Co back!” Jiang Ning said.
As soon as he spoke.
The rainbow-like arc across the lake traced a beautiful curve, then stopped on the lake’s surface before Jiang Ning again.
She floated on the lake surface, looking at Jiang Ning and blowing bubbles.
“Forget it, you don’t need to go after all! Just stay in this lake, be a decorative fish!”
“Okay, Master!” Linglong’s voice imdiately filled with joy.
Then she said: “Linglong also wants to be closer to Master, feeling Master’s presence gives Linglong a very warm feeling.”
Jiang Ning said: “Then stay! Anyway, with the Old Turtle around, your re decades of Dao are of no use!”
Upon hearing this.
The Dragon Carp felt not dejected by Jiang Ning’s belittlent, but rather filled with joy.
She happily swam around the lake, cutting through like a rainbow, looking quite stunning.
Jiang Ning saw this and also smiled.
Then he pondered for a mont.
“Linglong, open your mouth!”
His voice sounded.
The rainbow instantly passed through the water, appearing in front of her.
Then Jiang Ning flicked his finger, and the blood that gathered at his fingertip drew a parabolic arc in the air, falling into the lake.
Upon seeing this.
Splash——
She flicked her tail fin, leapt out of the lake, opened her mouth and inhaled, imdiately swallowing that drop of blood.
“Go, call the Old Turtle!” Jiang Ning said.
“Yes, Master!” Linglong responded.
Then turned into a rainbow, instantly rushing out of the lake and heading straight for the courtyard where the Old Turtle was located along the stream.
Originally, the Old Turtle and Dragon Carp were arranged by him to stay in the courtyard of Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan.
The purpose was also to protect them.
To prevent certain accidents.
Now that Dragon Carp gained privileges, exempted from this duty, it was also because Jiang Ning found Dragon Carp beautiful, making it an excellent decorative fish.
Beauty always has advantages, making it easier to receive a bit more favoritism.
