Martial Arts Garden.
Book Collection Building.
Jiang Ning tidied up his appearance to ensure he left no trace, then headed towards the Book Collection Building.
...
First floor.
"Good morning, senior!" Jiang Ning smiled and greeted, waited for the Tower Guard to respond, and then headed straight to the second floor.
He knew that the Tower Guard would not respond.
He didn’t mind it either.
On others’ turf, it’s never a bad idea to be polite.
"Is it him?" The one-eyed elder, the Tower Guard, looked at Jiang Ning’s back, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"Impossible!" He silently dismissed his own suspicion, then shook his head slowly, "With his appearance, despite the influence of marrow refining, he’s at most around thirty. Moreover, he has only been in the Book Collection Building for a few days, even if he encountered Wind and Thunder Steps, he couldn’t possibly comprehend it to Perfection."
...
Second floor.
Jiang Ning’s figure flickered and he arrived at the shelf he hadn’t finished reading the previous day.
[Heart-Pushing Palm]
He picked up a book on lower-level martial arts techniques and began to read it slowly.
Then, he paced back and forth in the deserted corridor on the second floor.
The Martial Arts Garden students on the second floor were not surprised by this sight.
They already knew Jiang Ning had a habit of reading cultivation techniques while walking around.
[Literacy and Judgent Experience 1]
[Literacy and Judgent Experience 1]
[Wind and Thunder Steps Experience 1]
[Literacy and Judgent Experience 1]
[...]
As ti slowly passed.
The experience value of the two skills, Literacy and Judgent and Wind and Thunder Steps, continued to rise.
Compared to Wind and Thunder Steps, the experience value of Literacy and Judgent increased noticeably faster.
Soon, it was noon.
Bright sunlight shone through the window onto the second floor.
Jiang Ning closed the book in his hand and glanced outside the window.
"Indeed, it was still overcast in the morning, but now the clouds have dispersed, and the sun is out—another sunny day. It was like this yesterday, and it is the sa today. The weather is so strange, it’s clearly unnatural!"
Watching the changes outside, Jiang Ning also felt a slight movent in his heart.
Before this, he had already sensed sothing was off with the climate in Dongling City.
Whenever it seed to shift towards rainy weather, there would suddenly be a dramatic change, the clouds would disappear, and it would turn into a sunny day.
Since coming to Dongling City, apart from using his divine skills to dispel a rainy spell, he hadn’t done much else.
But for such a long ti, Dongling City had not seen any rain.
One should know that Dongling City is on the windward slope of the Dongling Mountain Range, and it is supposed to be rainy by nature.
However, for more than half a month, not a drop of rain has fallen here, causing the water in the Nu River, which divides Dongling City, to slow and shallow.
The climate was clearly abnormal, and Jiang Ning had long noticed it.
In the past few days, even though it seed like it was going to rain, he hadn’t used his divine skills to disperse the clouds and rain.
And the subsequent changes were exactly as he predicted.
Now it’s blazing sunshine, and the weather is pleasant.
"Just right, I’ll go absorb so Great Sun Essence Qi!"
Having made up his mind, he put down the book of lower-level martial arts techniques he was holding.
Moving silently, he reached the staircase leading from the second floor to the first floor.
...
Exiting the Book Collection Building.
Jiang Ning found a wide enough rock, far from the roadside.
He sat cross-legged on it and began to inhale and exhale the Great Sun Essence Qi under the noonday sun.
With each breath.
Red light descended from the Great Sun, directly into Jiang Ning’s nostrils.
The red light entered his abdon, and Jiang Ning instantly felt an astonishing heat wave erupt within him.
As if flas exploded inside his body, his physique felt like a furnace.
[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP 1]
[...]
...
Two hours passed quickly.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
Not far in front of him, a young girl crouched on the ground, her back to him, doing sothing he couldn’t see.
"Qinghan, why have you co?" Jiang Ning spoke as he slowly stood up.
At the sound of his voice, Wang Qinghan imdiately stood up and dropped the withered branch in her hand.
"Brother Jiang Ning, I heard the senior brothers and sisters at the Martial Arts Garden talking about a bookworm who has been holed up in the Book Collection Building all day without eating or drinking! From their description, I knew it was you, so I ca to have a look."
"How did you know I was practicing here, Qinghan?" Jiang Ning smiled.
Wang Qinghan stuck out her tongue: "My sister saw soone absorbing red light here and knew it was you!"
"I see!" Jiang Ning nodded, and suddenly he understood.
His inhaling and exhaling of Great Sun Essence Qi was not visible to ordinary people.
But for those with Immortal Root, it’s different. They can sense energies that ordinary people cannot.
The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is an internal refining thod that only special people like these can practice.
From Wang Qinghan’s words, it was clear her sister could see him absorbing Great Sun Essence Qi, enough to prove that Wang Qintan has an Immortal Root.
Jiang Ning didn’t find this surprising either.
After all, Bai Luoyu also possesses an Immortal Root, not to ntion Wang Qintan.
Wang Qintan was extraordinarily mysterious with a significant background.
As for Wang Qinghan, Jiang Ning felt only one thing about her.
Adorable.
He had no other thoughts at all.
After all, Wang Qinghan was too young.
Just turned fifteen.
According to his moral standards from his previous life, he has no interest whatsoever.
At this mont.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze on her, Wang Qinghan blushed slightly.
"Brother Jiang Ning, do you want so food? My sister and I ca here to read and brought so with us specially."
Saying this, she pulled out a pancake wrapped in oil paper from her pocket.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.
"So that’s why you ca to find , Qinghan?"
"Uh-huh!" Wang Qinghan nodded.
In a flash, Jiang Ning appeared right in front of Wang Qinghan.
Witnessing Jiang Ning’s ghostly movent technique, akin to teleportation, Wang Qinghan was startled and took a step back, slightly leaning backward.
