Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Soon, he felt a chill in his feet and couldn't help but stamp his feet on the ground before circulating his Qi-Blood to flush through his system.

In an instant, Xie Zhengtian felt the cold inside his body being rapidly expelled, leaving a warm surge throughout his body.

This was the effect of Qi-Blood.

On the other side.

On the shaft of the carriage.

As Inner Breath coursed violently along the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Main Meridians, tearing and then healing the meridians repeatedly,

each completion of a Grand Circulation represented a cycle of breaking and then reestablishing.

Jiang Ning could feel his meridians had clearly expanded and become more resilient.

After a long while.

A faint sound came from the carriage behind him.

"Sir, may I come out now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately interrupted the operation of the Grand Circulation of Inner Breath, allowing the Inner Breath to run wild like a mustang, causing impact and tearing to his meridians.

His eyebrows only slightly furrowed before smoothing out again.

Because such loss of control over Inner Breath, akin to entering a demonic state, was no longer capable of tearing his meridians, only causing a bit of pain.

This showed that at this moment, the meridians were not only expanded in width but also in toughness.

Jiang Ning then opened his eyes, "Come out!"

Right after, he saw the curtain of the carriage behind swept aside as Xie Xiaojiu, neatly dressed, stepped out, draped in a black fox fur.

But what he didn't know was that Xie Xiaojiu hadn't taken off her clothes from start to finish.

Lv Yi followed closely behind, stepping back half a step and standing behind the two of them.

On the other side.

Seeing this scene, Xie Zhengtian immediately adjusted his expression, then approached with a smile all over his face.

"Commander Jiang, I was wondering why I heard the magpie's song this morning. It turns out that Commander Jiang was coming," said Xie Zhengtian.

Jiang Ning chuckled, "Family Head Xie."

Xie Zhengtian glanced at Xie Xiaojiu, who had come down from the carriage, and his heart immediately filled with joy.

Then he said, "The weather is foul today. I was worrying about how my daughter would return. I didn't expect Commander Jiang to personally drive my daughter home. I am very grateful."

"To express my gratitude, why doesn't Commander Jiang come inside for a few drinks with me?"

"The food and drink are already prepared!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning shook his head, "I have other matters today, next time!"

"Alright, next time!" Xie Zhengtian nodded in agreement without any hesitation or dragging his feet.

"Father!" Xie Xiaojiu jumped down from the carriage, speaking indifferently as if merely out of formality.

"I take my leave!" Jiang Ning bowed to Xie Zhengtian.

"Commander Jiang, take care!" Xie Zhengtian still wore a smile on his face.

Then, Jiang Ning climbed back into the carriage.

"Let's go!"

He said to Xie Xiaojiu and Xie Zhengtian by the side of the carriage, then turned and reentered the carriage.

Lv Yi also followed into the carriage.

After removing his shoes,

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on the soft carpet.

"Do not disturb me later!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, young master!" Lv Yi responded.

She then saw Jiang Ning sitting cross-legged, adopting the authentic Daoist meditation posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven.

Once settled in meditation,

Inner Breath burst forth from his Dantian.

It traveled upward along the conception vessel, reaching the third eye on the forehead, pausing briefly at the Upper Dantian, then ascending along the governor vessel, passing through the crown at the Baihui point, arriving at the highest point of the body.

Along the way, the meridians were torn apart by the formidable Inner Breath and then healed rapidly.

The Inner Breath then descended from the Baihui point, moving down along the governor vessel, passing the back and waist, reaching the coccyx.

It continued down the conception vessel from the coccyx back to the Lower Dantian, thus completing a cycle of the Small Cycle.

A cycle of the Small Cycle led to a clear expansion of the governor and conception vessels, becoming increasingly resilient.

Then the Inner Breath set out from the Dantian again, circulating along the trajectory of the Grand Circulation.

The carriage carried him towards his home.

Snowflakes fluttered on the streets.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Ning repeatedly erupted with Inner Breath, constantly ravaging his meridians with the flush.

Meridian after meridian broke and healed, continuously undergoing the trial of breaking and reestablishing, becoming ever more resilient.

In a situation where he didn't need to worry about any consequences, both the toughness and the width of Jiang Ning's meridians were rapidly transforming.

The expansion of the meridians and the increase in their resilience also meant that he could burst forth with a higher total amount of Inner Breath in a short period, stronger than before.

This was an increase in the efficiency of Inner Breath output.

The surge in explosive power of Inner Breath brought significant improvements.

Like Hong Minghu before, whose total amount of Inner Breath had merely reached the level of thirty years of cultivation, compared to the expansive sea level,

he had not yet had a total amount of Inner Breath vastly superior to Jiang Ning's.

However, in the explosion of that battle, Jiang Ning truly saw what was meant by Inner Breath as vast as the sea.

Just with the burst of Inner Breath, it was enough to overwhelm most Martial Artists, rendering the air nearly solidified.
