The bright moon hangs high.
The withered branches, under the moonlight, cast reflections on the ground like the sinister shadows of demons.
But at this mont.
Jiang Ning’s attention was no longer on the surroundings.
He seed to be leisurely strolling through the mountain path, appearing to walk unhurriedly with gentle movents, yet leaving behind afterimages, quickly distancing himself from the tangled reflections of the withered branches.

[...]
Looking at the notifications appearing at a not low frequency in front of him, Jiang Ning felt a trace of delight in his heart.
Just a casual attempt, and he discovered that gaining experience in the Wind and Thunder Steps skill wasn’t difficult at all. The rate wasn’t particularly fast, but not slow either.
The most crucial part was that the experience value for the Wind and Thunder Steps grew very simply.
It could be integrated into his daily life.
Walking was practice.
Especially while traveling, the efficiency of practice was even higher.
This ant that the experience value of this skill could accumulate without taking up his ntal energy, as long as it was incorporated into daily actions, leading to continuous accumulation of experience points.
Once the critical point was reached, a breakthrough could be achieved.
"The Martial Arts Garden truly is a wonderful place!!"
Recalling the sights and experiences of the day, Jiang Ning was filled with emotions as he walked towards the Alchemy Hall.
...
A mont later.
The Alchemy Hall.
Noticing that the large front doors were already closed and no lights were visible in the entire building.
"Indeed, it’s closed too!"
Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks and sighed slightly.
He then glanced at his personal panel.
[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Steps (Beginner 81/100)
"Such high efficiency!"
He was sowhat amazed at heart.
Just traveling the distance from the Book Collection Building to the Alchemy Hall had brought him more than sixty experience points.
"This efficiency must be related to the mastery of the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill."
With a thought, he glanced at the section for Wind Thunder Arrow Skill.
[Skill]: Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Three Tis Break Limit 49/4000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Heart Arrow Technique, Wind and Thunder Arrow)
The three tis limit-breaking of the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill had given him an extraordinary comprehension of wind and thunder.
The Wind and Thunder Steps were closely related to the words "wind" and "thunder."
"I definitely made the right choice!!"
Jiang Ning thought to himself, then closed the panel, taking one last glance at the Alchemy Hall before withdrawing his gaze.
"I’ll return to the Alchemy Hall tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I can proceed with the next limit-breaking in reading and writing!"
...
East District.
A large mansion residing by the mountain.
"Young Master!!"
Seeing Jiang Ning rushing from afar, Lv Yi, holding a lantern at the doorway, showed a look of joy in her eyes.
She quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ning halted.
"Waiting for you! You left early in the morning and haven’t returned so late, I was a bit uneasy!" Speaking, Lv Yi placed the lantern aside, then took the cloak draped over her wrist and placed it on Jiang Ning’s shoulders.
"Did you co from the mountains?"
"How did you know?"
"The night air in the mountains is humid, and the sides of your hair are damp with moisture."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning touched his hair at the front of his head, feeling so dampness between his fingers.
He couldn’t help but smile, "You’re quite observant."
Then he headed towards the mansion’s main entrance.
"Let’s go, ho!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Lv Yi promptly picked up the lantern set aside and followed him quickly.
Walking ahead, Jiang Ning felt the lingering warmth on the cloak and couldn’t help but smile.
Though he was now immune to cold and heat, unbothered by the chill and humidity of the mountainous nights during clear winter and spring.
But the feeling of being cared for was also nice, and there was no need to be a killjoy, especially when soone had been thoughtful.
"Young Master, you probably haven’t eaten yet, right?" Lv Yi was jogging slightly behind, closely following Jiang Ning.
"No, I haven’t!"
"Then I’ll go prepare so food. Wanwan has already set so aside early on, it’s still being kept warm!" Lv Yi said.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning replied.
Since morning until now, he had only eaten a chicken drumstick given by Wang Qinghan at noon, apart from that, he hadn’t touched a grain of rice or a drop of water.
Though to him now, not to ntion half a day, even several days without eating or drinking wouldn’t have any effect.
But the feeling of an empty stomach was sothing he wasn’t used to.
Having lived two lifetis, he had long been accustod to three als a day.
He truly enjoyed the feeling of fullness after eating.
Most of the ti, eating was not just for the sake of simply staying alive, it was also an enjoynt.
Enjoying the deliciousness, the satisfaction of a full belly, and the laziness after being well-fed.
Born in a country rich in culinary delights, he had long developed this habit.
So in his past life, as his inco increased, he spent more and more on food.
In this life, he was also quite thankful, thankful he wasn’t living in a world devoid of good food.
And thankful that Liuu Wanwan’s cooking skills were excellent, reaching a top chef’s level back in the past life.
...
A mont later.
At the dining table.
"Young Master, shall we drink?" Lv Yi brought over a bottle of wine.
"Drink!" Jiang Ning said.
A mont later.
He took the cup and drank it all in one go.
"Refreshing!" Feeling his empty stomach beco full, along with today’s gains, made him feel great.
Just then.
Footsteps echoed from the entrance.
Jiang Ning looked up and saw Jiang Li’s figure appear.
"Big Brother!"
Jiang Li walked into the hall, scratching his head.
"Little Brother, it’s thanks to you again today!"
"Big Brother, no need to be so formal!" Jiang Ning stood, grabbed Jiang Li and pressed him into a seat, "Co, drink with !"
"Alright!!" Jiang Li nodded in agreent.
Seeing this, Lv Yi quickly prepared a cup for Jiang Li and refilled both their drinks.
Just a few cups in.
Jiang Ning glanced towards the entrance, and saw Jiang Yiming and Liuu Wanwan’s figures appear.
