Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

At this moment, Jiang Ning dared not slack off in the slightest.

Because before this, Mei Jiangyun, as one of the managers at the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, had already known that their internal rating of Jiang Ning was very high.

The higher the rating, the greater the achievements and status Jiang Ning was speculated to attain in the future within the Pavilion's rating system.

The more important and necessary it was to treat him seriously and appropriately win him over.

A vast business association can only remain prosperous and weather storms with the support of multiple forces behind it.

The moment Jiang Ning appeared at the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, the news reached the person in charge here.

The task of receiving Jiang Ning, full of youthful vigor, naturally fell upon Mei Jiangyun, who had both excellent looks and demeanor.

Same genders repel, opposite genders attract.

Whether it's effective or not, it's ultimately beneficial and harmless in the eyes of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

...

Inside the private room.

Mei Jiangyun said, "Today, the Patrol Envoy has graced our Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Are you here to purchase something?"

"Indeed!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"What kind of items does the Patrol Envoy require? I can make the decision to offer a ten percent discount on everything within the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion." Mei Jiangyun stated.

"Ancient Immortal Treasures!" Jiang Ning replied.

He had just figured it out.

He could no longer swallow and refine large quantities of pills.

The accumulated impurities would affect his upcoming blood exchange.

After completing Marrow Cleansing, he also didn't have the time to repeatedly wash his entire body and cleanse the accumulated erysipelas impurities within.

So now, for him, the most direct and effective way to increase Source Energy Points was through Ancient Immortal Treasures.

Ancient Immortal Treasures have multiple names, referred to as Immortal Elixirs, Spiritual Medicine, or Exquisite Treasures.

All these names point towards the cultivation resources needed for the path of the Ancient Immortal Dao.

But now the great change in the world environment has made that path no longer suitable.

The primary medicinal properties of those Immortal Elixirs and Exquisite Treasures have also been lost, with Medicinal Power being much less than during ancient times, not even a tenth, not even a hundredth.

The demand for them is nearly nonexistent.

However, the survival environment of those Immortal Elixirs and Exquisite Treasures is harsh, extremely rare, and with a starting age of at least a hundred years.

This results in their prices being sky-high and not cheap.

At this moment.

When Mei Jiangyun heard Jiang Ning's demand, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Normally, there are very few customers who require Ancient Immortal Treasures.

Sometimes not even one piece is sold in a year or two.

And as far as she knows, besides those who want to broaden their horizons, the rest who require such things all possess the Immortal Root and want to tread the ancient path.

After all, Martial Arts and the Immortal Dao, have completely different upper limits.

In that era, in the Immortal Dao, those with Great Divine Power could move mountains and overturn seas, and some could even create small worlds, Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and Immortal Secret Realms.

These miraculous relics still exist even in today's era.

And the strongest in Martial Arts, to her knowledge, was merely that Martial Saint of the time.

The Martial Saint who dominated the world for over eight hundred years.

The Martial Saint who had slain immortals and slaughtered gods.

But even so, in her eyes, that Martial Saint was not as powerful as those recorded in ancient texts as having Great Divine Power.

If there hadn't been a gap in ancient times, and the world hadn't suddenly changed, it wouldn't be the current Martial Arts flourishing era.

"Could it be that this Patrol Envoy also possesses the Immortal Root and wants to tread the Ancient Immortal Dao?"

The thought flashed through Mei Jiangyun's mind.

She then said, "The items that the Patrol Envoy needs, we also have here, but they are limited in stock with only twenty-three pieces available!"

"Would you like to know more?" Mei Jiangyun asked again.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Sir, please wait a moment!" Mei Jiangyun stood up.

Then she pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.

Moments later.

She reappeared.

Holding a thick book in her hand, she approached Jiang Ning.

"Patrol Envoy, because the Ancient Immortal Treasures need to be kept sealed, they cannot be shown to you in detail."

"Detailed records of all twenty-three Ancient Immortal Treasures, including their age and specific prices, are listed in this book."

"Please review it!"

As she finished speaking.

Mei Jiangyun handed the thick book to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the book, opened it, and his gaze landed on the first page.

Hundred-year-old Spirit Milk

He quickly skimmed over the detailed introduction.

His gaze finally settled at the bottom of the page.

Price: Ten taels of gold per drop, with a total stock of thirty-one drops.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.

According to the introduction in the book.

Hundred-year-old Spirit Milk, in ancient times, could greatly enhance the richness of Mana.

Now, its effect in this regard is not even a hundredth.

But it still has certain miraculous effects, namely, improving the human Martial Arts talent and enhancing the physical foundation.

"Ten taels per drop!"

Jiang Ning looked at the price again, secretly shaking his head.

Buying these thirty-one drops of stock would deplete much of the money he had painstakingly gathered.

Afterward.

He unfolded the book and looked at the second page.

Mystic Ice Jade Marrow, Heavenly Sweet Jade Dew, three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit, Dragon Blood Bodhi, Red Flame Golden Crystal...

He looked at them one by one.

Soon, he finished reading the introduction of the twenty-three Ancient Immortal Treasures.

"Patrol Envoy, is there anything you desire?" Mei Jiangyun saw Jiang Ning withdraw his gaze from the book and then spoke.

Jiang Ning took out five gold notes and placed them on the table.

"Dragon Blood Bodhi, three pieces!"

"Five pieces of three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit!"

"Exchange the rest for Mystic Ice Jade Marrow!"

Upon hearing this, and looking at the five gold notes on the table, totaling a value of five hundred taels of gold, a hint of surprise flashed in Mei Jiangyun's eyes.

So wealthy?

A slight ripple stirred in her heart.

Then she stood up and nodded immediately.

"Patrol Envoy, please wait a moment, I will retrieve them for you right away!"

With those words, Mei Jiangyun turned and left.

Jiang Ning picked up the teacup on the nearby tea table and took a sip of the scalding tea.

Feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

The just obtained five hundred taels of gold, given for personal favor, were now handed over.

"I hope it won't disappoint me!"

He thought to himself.

He wasn't too certain about the effects of these few Ancient Treasures.

But he knew that continuing to consume pills was no longer suitable for him.

Too many impurities accumulated inside his body, detrimental to Blood Exchange.

For Blood Exchange to proceed smoothly, the body must be clean.

Pure and spotless, with body thoroughly cleansed, moving from dormancy to recovery would be easier.

Moments later.

Mei Jiangyun once again pushed open the compartment door and appeared in Jiang Ning's view.

Behind her followed three slender young girls.

"Patrol Envoy!"

Entering the room, Mei Jiangyun first bowed.

The three maids behind her followed suit and bowed simultaneously.

Then she placed the tray in her hand before Jiang Ning.

Mei Jiangyun first uncovered the red cloth atop the first sandalwood tray.

"Patrol Envoy, these three Mystic Ice Jade Boxes, each contains a Dragon Blood Bodhi, please inspect!"

Jiang Ning picked up a Mystic Ice Jade Box, and waves of coldness instantly struck his palm.

The source of coldness was precisely the Mystic Ice Jade Box he held.

His finger slightly scraped, and the Jade Liquid seal of the Mystic Ice Jade Box instantly dissolved.

Subsequently, he opened the Mystic Ice Jade Box.

The chilling air accumulated inside instantly cascaded down like Flying Immortal Waterfall from the edges.

Jiang Ning also saw within the cold air the pigeon-sized, red and transparent fruit.

"Excellent! Precisely the Dragon Blood Bodhi!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Expressing satisfaction.

His vast erudition granted him greater knowledge of Ancient Immortal Treasures than most.

As eras changed, perhaps many Ancient Immortal Treasures disappeared from the world.

But books recording them did not disappear.

"Patrol Envoy, as for the remaining two Dragon Blood Bodhi, would you like to verify them?"

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "I trust the reputation of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion."

He replaced the cover of the Mystic Ice Jade Box and then put it back on the tray.

"Thank you for your trust, Patrol Envoy!" Mei Jiangyun smiled gracefully.

Afterward.

She uncovered the red cloth on the second tray.

It contained five Mystic Ice Jade Boxes.

She was just about to begin introducing them, but was interrupted by Jiang Ning raising his hand.

"No introduction needed! I trust the reputation of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this again, Mei Jiangyun understood instantly and smiled gracefully once again.

"Patrol Envoy, one Dragon Blood Bodhi costs a hundred gold, three total three hundred gold, and after a discount for Patrol Envoy, it's two hundred seventy gold."

"One piece of three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit is thirty gold, totaling a hundred fifty gold, ninety percent off is a hundred thirty-five gold."

"One drop of Mystic Ice Jade Marrow is ten gold, ten drops one hundred gold, ninety percent off is ninety gold."

"All three total four hundred ninety-five gold, returned you five taels of gold!"

"Patrol Envoy, does it seem correct to you?"

As she spoke, Mei Jiangyun took out a five-tael golden ingot forged by the official mint from her waist and placed it on the table.

"No problem!" Jiang Ning nodded.

With a wave of his hand, the Dragon Blood Bodhi, three-hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit, and ten drops of Mystic Ice Jade Marrow were all taken into Jiang Ning's possession.

Then he stood up, grabbed the five taels of gold placed on the table, and tossed it to Lv Yi.

"Manager Mei, farewell!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in a gesture.

"I shall escort Patrol Envoy!" Mei Jiangyun smiled gracefully.
