Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

After lunch.

Bai Mansion.

"Brother Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Ning's arrival, Bai Luoyu was overjoyed.

"Brother Bai, the matter you entrusted me with this morning has made progress!" Jiang Ning got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu's eyes lit up.

This task assigned from above had troubled him for more than half a month, without the slightest clue.

In the morning.

He saw Jiang Ning's Heavenly Eye on his forehead and thus asked Jiang Ning for help.

The Heavenly Eye can observe the Nine Netherworld, can observe all things of heaven and earth, and can see and understand both visible and invisible things.

The various energies invisible to ordinary people are all revealed under the Heavenly Eye.

Therefore, he requested Jiang Ning's help.

Hoping to draw some clues from Jiang Ning's Heavenly Eye.

"What clues did Brother Jiang discover?" Bai Luoyu quickly asked.

Jiang Ning said, "Brother Bai, have you ever heard of the Three Elements Daoist Temple?"

"Three Elements Daoist Temple?" Bai Luoyu murmured, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

Suddenly.

A divine light flashed in his eyes.

"I remember now, it was a dilapidated temple!"

"More than a hundred years ago, the Three Elements Daoist Temple was quite famous, enshrining the Three Element Divine Statues: Tianyuan, Earth Element, and Human Yuan. Its temple master was a master of divination, able to predict fortune and misfortune, with a thriving incense offering!"

"But now, due to incompetent successors, the Three Elements Daoist Temple has become dilapidated."

Saying this, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning.

"Brother Jiang is saying... the Three Elements Daoist Temple is where the Observatory detected anomalies?"

Jiang Ning said, "After I recovered, I used the Heavenly Eye and saw energy surging above the Three Elements Daoist Temple, quite unusual."

"Then I saw a magic platform within the temple, where a yellow-robed Taoist was worshipping the Rain God's Divine Position, dispersing clouds and rain."

Upon hearing this, a sudden realization flashed in Bai Luoyu's eyes.

"I understand!"

"No wonder I felt the winds and clouds were unpredictable this morning, looking like it would change, only to clear up suddenly; somebody was indeed casting a spell."

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning.

Bowing his hands, he said, "Brother Jiang, please lead the way later! Should the matter be resolved, we shall share the credit equally; what do you think?"

"Then I shall accept without reservation!" Jiang Ning smiled, then said, "It's just as well I need some resources for my practice and cultivation now."

"But..." Jiang Ning spoke again.

"What is it?" Bai Luoyu looked puzzled.

Jiang Ning said, "I observe that Taoist has reached Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone level."

"Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone?" Bai Luoyu's brows immediately furrowed.

He knew that those with Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone were at the Fourth Grade.

A Fourth Grade expert, also a master of Taoist arts.

He alone could not handle such a formidable opponent.

After pondering for a moment.

Bai Luoyu looked up at Jiang Ning.

"Brother Jiang, please wait a moment while I contact Master Su to lend her aid!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment.

He knew that the Master Su Bai Luoyu mentioned was Su Zhi.

She was also at the Fourth Grade level.

If Su Zhi joined, some credit would inevitably be shared.

But after only a moment's hesitation, he decided not to dwell on it.

After all, the benefits were easily obtained.

He then nodded and said, "Alright!"

Bai Luoyu said, "Brother Jiang, rest assured, should that person be the one the Observatory is after, you will still claim half the credit, as finding this person is primarily your accomplishment and should be credited first to you!"

"As for the other half of the credit, I can split it evenly with Master Su, or I can make some additional concessions."

Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, any hesitation in Jiang Ning's heart completely dissipated.

He then smiled: "No need! If Master Su agrees to join, we can simply split it three ways; this would be fair and reasonable."

"Brother Jiang is generous!" Bai Luoyu continued, "I won't say more; I will remember it in my heart."

...

In less than an hour.

A white figure flashed by.

Su Zhi quietly landed in front of the two of them.

At this time, she wore a white, tight-fitting outfit and held a treasured sword, its scabbard was bright silver in color.

"Master Su!"

"Master Su!"

"There's no need for such formalities!" Su Zhi's face was calm.

She looked at Bai Luoyu: "Master Bai, lead the way!"

"I'm not leading the way, Brother Jiang is!" Bai Luoyu smiled, continued, "It was Brother Jiang's credit for discovering that miscreant."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhi cast an astonished glance at Jiang Ning.

Then she remained silent, saying no more.

...

Moments later.

The three of them set out.

Bai Luoyu wore a tight-fitting outfit too, his sleeves fluttering, without carrying any weapons.

This did not surprise Jiang Ning.

Bai Luoyu was the same type of person as himself, possessing an Immortal Root, imbued with Spiritual Wisdom.

Thus, he could naturally use the Sumeru Ring, an ancient relic.

Moreover, Bai Luoyu's wealth far exceeded his own.

As far as Jiang Ning knew, the Sumeru Ring Bai Luoyu used was far more precious than his own.

Its storage space was also much larger than his.

Su Zhi, on the other hand, carried a longsword and wore a white, tight-fitting outfit.

Though she had reached a certain age,

Having stepped into the Fourth Grade, with Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone achieved,

Her physical abilities were on an entirely different level from ordinary women.

She appeared to be just over 30.

...

Along the way.

Jiang Ning led the way in front, with Bai Luoyu and Su Zhi following closely behind.

"Brother Jiang, your movement technique is extraordinary!!" Bai Luoyu, following behind, slightly moved his mouth, his voice reaching Jiang Ning's ear.

Then he added: "Looking at your form, swift as wind, fast as thunder, is this not the Wind and Thunder Steps?"

"Brother Bai has keen eyes!" Jiang Ning maintained his pace, continuing swiftly over the rooftops like the wind: "Indeed, my technique is the Wind and Thunder Steps!"

Hearing their conversation, Su Zhi did not interject but did cast a slightly astonished glance at Jiang Ning.

As one of the Deputy Mansion Masters of Dongling County, she was widely knowledgeable.

She naturally understood the Wind and Thunder Steps movement technique.

And knew that mastering this superior body technique to the level Jiang Ning had achieved, where it was second nature, was incredibly challenging.
