Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Seeing the full cup filled with Divine Dew wine, Linglong couldn't help but drool.

She immediately reached out her hand.

Slap!

Jiang Ning gently tapped her hand, making a crisp sound.

"This cup of wine is for Old Turtle!"

He noticed Old Turtle sunbathing by the lakeside at this moment.

Although Old Turtle's utility was not as great as Linglong's now, he didn't want to be too biased.

Old Turtle had diligently guarded the peace of the house during these days, and there was labor in the absence of merit.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Linglong nodded repeatedly like a little chick pecking at rice.

"Okay, Master!"

At the same time.

The Old Turtle, sunbathing belly-up by the lake, also heard Jiang Ning's words. It jumped up immediately and turned over upon landing.

"Thank you, Lord!!"

Its tone was excited, full of thrill.

It, too, had noticed the commotion around Jiang Ning and originally thought it wasn't included this time.

Feeling its power was weak now, it didn't have the nerve to go ask for some.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning now asked Linglong to bring a cup of wine filled with Divine Dew for it.

At this moment, its gaze towards Jiang Ning was filled with excitement.

Noticing Old Turtle's gaze, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

Parent-child discord is often due to the elder's lack of virtue.

Parental ingratitude is often due to the elder's absence of grace.

These two sayings still apply to spiritual pets.

If he only extracted value from the two demons but gave no benefits, what would make them loyal to him?

Moments later.

Old Turtle held the wine cup in its two hands under Jiang Ning's feet, sipping it mouthful by mouthful.

Linglong and Zhong Ling also sat on either side of Jiang Ning, sipping slowly.

"This wine is really delicious!!" Zhong Ling said, her face flushed.

"If you can't handle your drink, take it easy! Don't get drunk!" Jiang Ning glanced at her and said.

"I can handle my drink well!" Zhong Ling looked at Jiang Ning with dreamy eyes, full of stubbornness.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shake his head.

Obviously, Zhong Ling was somewhat drunk.

"You're about to get drunk!" He stretched out his hand, signaling Zhong Ling to hand over her cup.

"I'm not!" Zhong Ling held the cup with both hands, turned her body to the side, and then gulped down a large mouthful, emptying the cup in an instant.

Her face flushed instantly.

Then she coughed heavily, tears streaming from her eyes.

She had obviously choked from drinking too quickly.

Jiang Ning: "..."

He looked a bit speechless, then reached out and gently patted Zhong Ling's back, helping her breathe smoothly again.

Moments later.

Zhong Ling finally calmed down a lot.

She raised her head to look at Jiang Ning again, her eyes filled with dreaminess.

"Brother Jiang, I think I'm a bit drunk!" she said slowly.

"You still know you're drunk, huh!" Jiang Ning said speechlessly.

"Yeah!" Zhong Ling nodded.

Then her head lost support the next moment and she slumped heavily onto the table.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Immediately.

He sighed softly.

Stood up, came to Zhong Ling's side, picked her up gently, and walked to her room.

The Zhong Ling in his hands was breathing steadily now, clearly already asleep.

When he reached the door, Jiang Ning kicked it open and entered Zhong Ling's room.

He put her on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, before exiting the room and closing the door.

After this incident, back in the courtyard, Jiang Ning began pondering his path ahead.

Eight Blood Transfusions had been achieved.

He felt that the Ninth Blood Transfusion wouldn't be difficult for him.

Upon completing the Ninth Blood Transfusion, he would reach the true Perfection of a Third Grade Blood Exchange Master.

After that would be the Second Grade Divine Realm Great Grandmaster.

Regarding the Second Grade, he wasn't well-informed.

His understanding of the Second Grade was very superficial.

And in Dongling City, no one could enlighten him about the Second Grade.

In the entire Guangning Prefecture, only Shen Wenyan could currently provide him with suitable enlightenment.

But for this matter, he didn't want to trouble Shen Wenyan or owe him a favor.

Even if Shen Wenyan enlightened him, it would be hard to gain a method to achieve the Second Grade Divine Realm.

"A trip to the Royal Capital is inevitable!" he mused to himself.

Going to the Royal Capital wasn't just about acquiring the Martial Champion title, but also about achieving the Second Grade Divine Realm.

Given his current situation, the only way to reasonably obtain the method for the Second Grade Divine Realm was by going to the Royal Capital.

The accolades for resolving the Shishan County crisis, annihilating the Five Sword Sect, Mitian Sect, and subduing the Divine Sword Manor weren't cashed in yet.

With these achievements, he felt it wouldn't be difficult to exchange them for the method to become a Second Grade Divine Realm Great Grandmaster at the Inspection Office in the Royal Capital.

However, before that, he needed to consider the issue of the Ninth Blood Transfusion.

During the afternoon's Blood Transfusion, even with vast resources aiding him, he felt his body was reaching a limit.

He felt that with his current physique, he couldn't complete the Ninth Blood Transfusion.

And he was also short of many resources necessary for the Ninth Blood Transfusion.

His previous savings were completely depleted today, with nothing left; only ten thousand taels of gold remained.

Ten thousand taels of gold is abundant, but it depends on the person.

For ordinary people, and even for the dignitaries of Dongling City, ten thousand taels of gold is still an astronomical number.

But for him now, ten thousand taels of gold is not much at all.

Many precious items can't even be purchased with gold anymore.

But require equally precious items.

Fortunately, with his current strength, he doesn't need those extremely precious treasures.

After clearing his thoughts, Jiang Ning suddenly realized he had many things to do.

The Vajra Undying still needs breaking through to strengthen his physique with this body-strengthening method.

Thus allowing him to successfully complete the Ninth Blood Transfusion and achieve Martial Arts Mythology.

Then he looked in the direction of Guangning City.

"I wonder how the collection of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Scrolls I entrusted to Wanhua Building is progressing?"

His mind raced.

To complete the Ninth Blood Transfusion, he still needed a conception to evoke the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism.

Currently, there wasn't a particularly suitable cultivation technique for reaching this step.

Previously, he had commissioned Wanhua Building in Guangning City via channels to collect the remaining fragments of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Fragments for him.

For these recent days, he hadn't had the time to visit Wanhua Building, nor had he communicated with the people from Guangning City.

He remains unaware of the exact progress.

Then he glanced overhead.

The sun above had already set to the mountain's peak, not far from setting.

"I might as well set off for a trip to Guangning City tomorrow!"

Thinking of this, he beckoned, and a reclining chair from under the tree came to him.

He placed the reclining chair by the lake and lay down.

Immediately, his expression was filled with leisure.

"Let's just take a good rest for today!" he squinted slightly, looking at the rippling lake surface.

At this moment.

A splash on the lake's surface, a Rainbow-like Dragon Carp leaped out of the water, took human form in mid-air, and landed in front of Jiang Ning.

"Master!" Linglong looked at Jiang Ning, eyes smiling.

"Move a chair over and lie down, accompany me to watch the sunset!" Jiang Ning gestured.

Hearing this, Linglong immediately moved another recliner from under the tree to Jiang Ning's side, then jumped onto it.

Her fair, bare feet plainly placed on the armrest.

"Pull back your feet, it's unsightly!" Jiang Ning said calmly, glancing.

"Oh!"

Linglong shrunk her head, retracted her dangling feet, and tucked them beneath herself, folding them under her posterior.

Jiang Ning quietly watched the sunset, feeling the peace within.

Suddenly.

Linglong spoke, breaking the silence.

"Master, do you think humans and demons can have children?"

"Why are you asking this question?" Jiang Ning glanced at Linglong on the side, calmly.

He noticed her feet stretching restlessly, placing her knees on the armrest, swinging back and forth in the air.

"Just asking out of curiosity!" Linglong looked somewhat sheepishly at Zhong Ling's room.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

These days, Linglong and Zhong Ling had been sleeping together, clearly having a lot of girl talk.

He remembered knowledge from his past life, noting that women's conversations often were more explicit than men's.

He glanced at Linglong's head stretching closer.

Reaching out, he flicked her forehead.

"Don't think about these messy things!"

"Oh!" Linglong responded softly.
