Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

On the wide official road.

Fast horses galloping.

The hooves of the horses thundered like a roar.

The people on the road, upon hearing the thunderous hoofbeats, promptly stood off to the sides of the road.

In the next moment.

Five swift horses swept past like a gale, leaving only a cloud of dust in their wake.

"Quick as a thunderbolt, truly steeds as swift as a thunderbolt!" Someone exclaimed in awe at the five riders speeding away.

Simultaneously.

Bai Luoyu, leading the five swift horses, retracted the Heavenly Mechanism Talisman.

"Brother Jiang understands me!"

He smiled slightly, feeling somewhat assured.

Several days ago, he sent his subordinates to Baisha County, but no messages came back.

The last message received mentioned that the County Lord of Baisha County might have issues and was deeply entangled with the God Worship Sect, currently under investigation.

After a few days with no further messages, he knew there was trouble in Baisha County.

Hence, today, he personally led a team to Baisha County to investigate.

Before leaving, he worried he might not handle the powerful God Worship Sect, so he left Brother Jiang a message in advance.

"How much longer to Baisha County?" Bai Luoyu asked without turning his head as he galloped on horseback.

"Reporting to you, my lord, we will reach Baisha County by tomorrow evening if we continue at this pace," one of the people accompanying him answered.

This time, Bai Luoyu brought out the strongest from his Inspector Mansion to avoid any mishaps.

Besides himself, there were three Fifth Grade and one Sixth Rank Jade Bone Realm.

Altogether, four Fifth Grade and one Peak of Sixth Grade.

This force is formidable not only in Baisha County but even in Dongling City.

"Plus, with Brother Jiang's support, it should be foolproof! If things go awry, we can still call Master Zhao for help!"

With all these thoughts in mind, Bai Luoyu felt settled.

He had no more worries.

Then, he spurred his horse forward.

...

On the other side.

In the afternoon.

In his courtyard.

Jiang Ning found himself with some free time.

He sat on the wicker chair where Lin Qingyi used to sit, holding a cup of tea, lost in thought.

In recent days, he had also investigated matters concerning Princess Consort Qi.

But the information was too confidential, and he didn't uncover much.

He only knew that Princess Consort Qi was the only consort of Prince Qi.

And Prince Qi was rumored to be born with defects, bedridden for years, never seeing the light of day.

His marriage to Princess Consort Qi was merely a gesture to please the Old Prince in hopes of turning their luck around.

The so-called Old Prince was a pillar of the Imperial Family, once honored as the Side-by-Side King.

He was also rumored to be one of the top figures of that era.

Having reached the pinnacle of martial arts long ago.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

He shook his head slowly.

It's too early to consider this; without sufficient strength, everything is empty talk.

Then, he looked at his panel.

[Realm]: Fourth Grade Marrow Refining (1999/1999)

[Source Energy]: 2134

The progress of Marrow Refining reached Perfection, but the Source Energy Points were sparse.

His choices now were limited.

The only path was to accumulate Experience Value in his cultivation technique.

With that thought, his gaze fell on the Skill section and quickly locked onto several skills.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Five times limit-breaking 455/6000) (trait:...)

Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Ten times limit-breaking 20000/20000) (trait:...)

Vajra Immortal Body (Once limit-breaking 2/20000) (trait: Dragon Elephant Power)

Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Three times limit-breaking 63/4000) (trait:...)

Water and Fire True Strength (Five times limit-breaking 6000/6000) (trait: Water and Fire Immortal Clothes (First Break), Water and Fire Control, Stone Boiling, Water and Fire)

Visualization (Beginner 288/1000)

Currently, these skills were of help to him.

The enhancement of Five Animals Fist could bolster his Qi Blood Power.

Robust Qi Blood Power was the foundation, the core of martial arts.

It could support him in completing enough Blood Exchanges.

With such a miraculous panel aiding him, his goal was singular, achieving Nine Blood Exchanges, equating to becoming a Martial Saint, reaching the limit.

He did not consider anything less than Nine Blood Exchanges.

To achieve this effect, he must increase his body strength, bolster his foundation and core.

Regarding Chopping Wood Blade Skill, further limit-breaking could elevate the Sword Intent even more.

According to his understanding, Xiao Qiushui once attempted to enter the Transformation Realm with Sword Intent to reach Third Grade and become a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

Though he failed, it undoubtedly showed he could also achieve Third Grade and become a Heavenly Human Grandmaster with Sword Intent.

But the limit-breaking of Chopping Wood Blade Skill was hindered by Source Energy Points, not Experience Value.

The next limit-breaking required a staggering twenty thousand Source Energy Points.

This number gave him a severe headache.

Additionally, he wasn't clear on what level his Sword Intent needed to reach for a celestial epiphany to enter Third Grade and become a Grandmaster.

So, he could only set aside the key to enter the Heavenly Human Grandmaster realm on the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill for now.

As for how to break through to become a Heavenly Human Grandmaster with Sword Intent, he plans to ask Ye Zhengqi.

Ye Zhengqi, an old seasoned Heavenly Human Grandmaster from the Prefecture, must have more insights into this matter than he does.

As for the Vajra Immortal Body, he glanced at it and set it aside for now.

This cultivation technique's limit-breaking greatly increased his strength.

But the consumption was extremely significant.

Once limit-breaking required ten thousand Source Energy Points.

Twice limit-breaking would definitely need twenty thousand Source Energy Points.

His primary goal now was entering Third Grade to achieve Heavenly Human Grandmaster, rather than stacking combat power and accumulating energy at Fourth Grade Marrow Refining Perfection.

That was of little significance.

The rise in martial realm significantly enhances strength.

Especially entering Third Grade, the improvement is even more pronounced.

Without even mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth, just the transformation in life level itself exaggerates the strength boost.
