Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint Chapter 790 - 97: Dongling County’s First Heavenly Human Gra

"Unfortunately, it’s too late!"

"But it’s not entirely too late!" The thought flashed again in Qinghe Marquis’s mind.

Then, he gazed in the direction where Xiao Qiushui had left, his eyes lost in thought.

...

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

When Xiao Qiushui returned again.

The misting rain in the sky had already ceased falling.

The gloomy sky seed to show signs of clearing up.

At this mont, Xiao Qiushui was still dressed in simple garb, walking slowly through the air.

Every action was instinctual and natural.

Upon seeing this scene, Qinghe Marquis’s heart was shaken trendously.

Walking through the air, traversing the void.

This is a technique that can only be mastered by a true Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

This undoubtedly indicates that Xiao Qiushui had successfully broken through the Fourth Grade and entered the Third Grade, achieving the title of Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

He watched as Xiao Qiushui slowly descended to the ground.

As Xiao Qiushui approached, he could also sense the sharp and unparalleled aura emanating from her.

That aura alone, simply because of her closeness, made him inexplicably feel waves of fear and trepidation.

This trepidation is the body’s instinctual reaction, a response that he cannot alter with his own will.

It’s an instinctual reaction from the body growing intensely insecure.

This reaction reminded him of the feeling from his childhood, when he shared a room with a fierce tiger, utterly powerless.

At that mont.

Xiao Qiushui spoke lightly, "I want to take my sister’s remains. Is there a problem?"

Her first move was to state her intentions plainly.

"That’s not possible, Qiuyue is my woman!" Qinghe Marquis imdiately retorted, shaking his head.

However.

The next mont.

Xiao Qiushui glanced at him, her gaze falling upon him, and he felt a sudden shock in his heart.

"I am notifying you, not asking!" Xiao Qiushui said calmly, her gaze devoid of any emotional fluctuation, her tone flatly stating.

Then she continued, "And I will also take my nephew’s remains; this too is a notification!!"

Upon hearing these indisputable words, Qinghe Marquis instantly showed a difficult expression.

"Let’s go! Take to see my nephew’s grave!" Xiao Qiushui said again.

After pondering for several breaths.

Qinghe Marquis let out a sigh.

"Follow !"

Faced with Xiao Qiushui, who had now beco a Heavenly Human, he found himself utterly incapable of opposing.

A declining Qinghe Marquis Mansion is far less than a Heavenly Human Grandmaster in their pri, who has great potential to advance further.

Heavenly Human Grandmasters, even in the era when Great Xia’s power was at its peak, held extraordinary status.

Especially now, in a ti when the official power of the court is declining.

It’s a status that grants privilege simply by virtue of strength.

One Heavenly Human Grandmaster can embody the deterrence and influence of a truly elite army.

Not to ntion, Xiao Qiushui’s exceptional talent, having now stepped into the Third Grade, achieving Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

There is a fifty percent chance she will advance to Second Grade Great Grandmaster in the future.

Soone who reaches Second Grade Great Grandmaster can beco an honored guest at the mansions of dukes and high officials.

Even a Prince Mansion at its peak must treat a Second Grade Great Grandmaster with respect and dare not offend them easily.

Faced with such potential in Xiao Qiushui, even as Qinghe Marquis, he could only helplessly agree.

Moreover, he knew that Xiao Qiushui would not care about these things.

If he opposed her, not only would he be unable to stop her, but he would also bring suffering upon himself.

Whether it was Xiao Qiuyue’s or He Jinyun’s death, both were enough for Xiao Qiushui to vent her wrath on him.

...

anwhile.

In the afternoon.

Jiang Ning perford the eighteenth action, enduring the imnse pain throughout his body, transporting qi and blood to refine his skin.

Sweat pooled on his body, then rged into beads the size of beans and trickled down.

In the courtyard.

Lin Qingyi continued to sit cross-legged, enjoying the spectacle.

As Jiang Ning exhaled a long breath of impure energy from his abdon, he sighed in relief.

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value 73]

"Tsk tsk!" Lin Qingyi clicked her tongue appreciatively.

Then said, "I still prefer watching little brother’s body refinent; it’s simply a delightful sight!"

"I am not little!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Want to see?" Lin Qingyi smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Ning: "..."

An expression of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked at his stats panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Perfection 977/10000)

Then he closed the panel, resting with closed eyes.

Even at this mont, completing a round of skin refinent carried a considerable burden for his body.

This was not only a physical burden but also a ntal one.

Refining the skin was intensely painful; he needed rest.

At that mont, mories of the hours spent refining his skin flashed in his mind.

After achieving Perfection in Vajra Immortal Body.

Upon completing the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth actions, his experience value growth visibly decreased compared to before.

Previously, completing a round of skin refinent with these three actions could increase experience value by about a hundred points.

With Vajra Immortal Body reaching Perfection, the experience value gain decreased by roughly twenty to thirty percent.

Each round of refinent now only added about seventy to eighty experience points.

The reduction in experience value obtained undeniably required more ti from him.

Regarding this phenonon, he had so guesses in mind.

Judging by the fact that he could achieve Vajra Immortal Body’s breakthrough from Great Success to Perfection in rely a day and a night with formidable efficiency, he understood how effective the skin refinent was with his abundant qi and blood.

From this, he also drew a conclusion.

The more abundant the qi and blood, the higher the efficiency of increasing the experience value for Vajra Immortal Body.

And as his experience value gain decreased compared to before.

Undoubtedly because Vajra Immortal Body advanced to a higher level, reaching Perfection.

While his total qi-blood hadn’t changed much.

Under these increased difficulties, with unchanged qi-blood total, experience value acquisition naturally reduced.

Thus, to increase experience value gain, it’s not difficult; he just needs his qi-blood to beco stronger to achieve this.

"However, the current efficiency is not low!"

"Each ti adds seventy to eighty points. Within at most two days and nights, I can accumulate the experience value needed to break the limit of Vajra Immortal Body!"

"By then, I will know the Source Energy Points required to break the limit in the cultivation techniques above superior martial arts."

"If successful, my strength could level up another tier!"

Various thoughts quickly flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind.

At this mont.

She recalled the ssage previously conveyed by Xiao Ei.

Sooner in two to three days, later three to five days.

Calculating the ti, today was the third day.

If Xiao Qiushui truly ca looking for , she should appear in Dongling City within one or two days.

With these thoughts flashing, accompanied by his adjustnt, all stray thoughts vanished.

He had adjusted his state, once again performing Vajra Immortal Body’s sixteenth action, then transporting his internal qi-blood, and activating power.

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value 78]

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value 81]

[Vajra Immortal Body experience value 77]

[...]

Round after round of refinent led to a steady increase in Vajra Immortal Body’s experience value.

Step by step toward his goal.

...

Suddenly.

Lin Qingyi’s smile while watching Jiang Ning’s practice vanished instantly.

She turned her head toward the southwest direction.

At this mont, her gaze seed to penetrate the tall walls blocking her vision, seeing places that were obscured.

"Such strong aura!!!"

Lin Qingyi murmured, her expression becoming exceptionally serious.

She could feel that outside the mansion, at the end of the street, a shadow seed to be slowly pressing closer.

At that mont, Jiang Ning also halted his skin refinent.

Simultaneously sensing the anomaly she detected.

He looked up toward the sky.

Although everything seed unchanged, he felt the distant airborne airflow raging wildly.

Moreover, that aura was continuously approaching.

As if the sky was crushing down!

A thought flashed through his mind.

The next mont.

He slightly closed his eyes.

Then opened them again.

A deep blue flashed in his eyes.

This was him summoning the Yin God, exhibiting Spiritual Vision, observing the world from the perspective of the Yin God.

Instantly.

He saw two blazing furnaces.

One beside him, representing Lin Qingyi.

The other was outside the mansion in the southwestern direction.

Grandmaster!!!

In his heart, he instantly made a judgent.
