Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

After leaving the Bai Mansion.

Along the way.

Jiang Ning was contemplating how to find a way to gather more Source Energy Points.

For Breaking Limit in Reading and Writing, ten thousand Source Energy Points are needed.

But in his view, as long as there's enough Source Energy, this expenditure is definitely worth it.

The importance of spiritual power is beyond doubt.

The last time his spiritual power transformed, it allowed him to sense his own Divine Soul,

He could also feel that if his spiritual power grew again, it might progress further.

Becoming stronger in Martial Arts is a gradual process, bit by bit.

One day, the cocoon will transform into a butterfly.

Returning home.

He began to tally his current wealth.

In Dongling City, the abundance of resources far surpasses that of Luoshui County.

As long as he has money, he temporarily won't lack Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and spiritual pills full of rich energy.

After a short while.

He had accounted for his own wealth.

He still had over a hundred Academic Points.

His rushed imprisonment caused his remaining Academic Points at the time to go unspent.

The Inspection Office's Contribution Points amounted to 120,000 points.

The gold and jewels were worth over 200,000 taels, this was his gain from the previous encounters in Luoshui Lake.

He then took another look at the valuable items he had on him.

A piece of tiger bone, inscribed with a Divine Pattern, was a gift from Hong Minghu to him.

A piece of Electric Eel bone, also inscribed with a Divine Pattern, obtained from slaying a two-hundred-year-old Dao Fish Demon in Luoshui Lake.

And a turtle shell with a three-hundred-year Dao.

After displaying everything in front of him, Jiang Ning quickly accounted for it all.

"It's a pity I couldn't attend the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion auction while I was in prison, these gold and jewels should have been able to buy quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, if not Ancient Immortal Treasures!"

"And the prices for selling these two pieces of bone should also be good!"

Jiang Ning shook his head in regret.

The next moment.

He called for Lv Yi.

"Young Master!"

Coming before him, Lv Yi slightly bowed.

"Take these items to the Wanhua Building to sell, and exchange them all for Embracing Fetus Qi Pills!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Lv Yi accepted the items Jiang Ning handed over.

A piece of tiger bone, a piece of Electric Eel bone, and that three-hundred-year Dao turtle shell.

As for Academic Points and Contribution Points, he would need to handle those personally.

And the 200,000 taels of gold and jewels, much the same.

Ten taels per jin.

One hundred thousand taels are one hundred thousand jin.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the 200,000 taels of gold and jewels were primarily gold and gems, he wouldn't have been able to carry them away even with the Sumeru Ring.

"Let's first see how much increase in Source Energy Points my entire fortune can bring!"

"If it's still not enough, I'll go find Wang Qintan to see if I can borrow some more."

Jiang Ning had already made a decision in his heart.

Given that the only thing lacking for Breaking Limit in Reading and Writing was Source Energy Points,

In the current circumstance, he decided to go all out to gather a total of ten thousand Source Energy Points, allowing Reading and Writing to achieve the tenth Breaking Limit first.

The transformation of spiritual power significantly impacts strength.

After Lv Yi left.

Jiang Ning took off his clothes, wearing only knee-length shorts as he entered the lake.

The lake water gradually submerged his whole body, instantly making him feel nourished all over.

The constant stinging pain in his mind eased considerably.

At the bottom of the lake.

A rainbow-like figure approached him.

The comer was precisely the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp swirled around him, flipping its tail, continuously blowing bubbles, as if teasing him.

Looking at the Dragon Carp before him, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"I've forgotten about you these days!"

He tapped the Dragon Carp's forehead, feeling a sense of intimacy from it towards him.

He also knew this was the effect of their bond deepening.

"Go call the Old Turtle here!" Jiang Ning spoke underwater.

The next moment.

The Dragon Carp swished its tail fin like a rainbow through water, disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.

In just a matter of moments.

Splish splash—

Surging waves spread across the lake, splashing water onto the pebbles and plant leaves beside the stream in the courtyard.

"Lord, you finally remembered me!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile at the accent from nowhere.

Then asked, "Have you been diligently safeguarding the household's safety these days?"

"Of course!" the Old Turtle replied, continuing, "I, Old Turtle, am now a Guardian Spirit Beast, safeguarding the young master is my sworn duty."

After speaking, it chuckled at Jiang Ning, "Just hope the lord can award me some....."

Its forelimbs rubbed each other in a human-like manner.

"Catch!" Jiang Ning said.

With a thought.

He forced blood from within his body and then flicked his finger, sending blood pearls shooting swiftly towards the Old Turtle.

Awoo—

Awoo—

Awoo—

The Old Turtle repeatedly opened its mouth wide, swallowing even the lake water.

In an instant.

Several drops of blood pearls, impervious to water, were swallowed into its belly.

"So hot!"

"Lord, what did you feed me?"

Hearing this annoying voice, Jiang Ning kicked it away.

"Guard my family well, and you won't be mistreated!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, Lord!" emerging from the lake surface, the Old Turtle quickly replied in mid-air.

Afterward.

Jiang Ning turned his gaze to the Dragon Carp.

Compared to the Old Turtle, the Dragon Carp indeed seemed much like a vase.

Even with outstanding bloodlines, being born with shallow Dao and weak strength.

It is currently far from matching the Old Turtle's strength.

Before the Dragon Carp, not to mention a Sixth Rank Martial Artist.

Even a Seventh Grade Martial Artist would be hard for her to handle.

However, having such a seeming vase-like Fish Demon around was no bother for Jiang Ning.

The Dragon Carp's bloodline was outstanding and had enough potential.

One day, she could surpass others and lead in strength over the Old Turtle.

Plus, pleasing to the eyes was also a benefit.

Providing emotional value was considered useful.

He extended his right finger, letting a blood pearl form at his fingertip.
