Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 347 - 54: Goodwill from the Peak of Fifth Grade_2
Chapter 347 -54: Goodwill from the Peak of Fifth Grade_2
Lu Qingshan said, “At his age, with such a clean past and history, it’s astonishing that his spiritual power could grow so immensely, not to mention his rapid advance in strength. His origins are rather problematic.”
“What kind of problem?” Gongsun Yu asked.
“I suspect he is the reincarnated being of someone from the Ancient Times,” Lu Qingshan slowly explained.
“Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?” Gongsun Yu was somewhat astonished.
“Yes!” Lu Qingshan nodded affirmatively, “Not only the current era’s Buddhist Dao twins, but also the founder of Sword Pavilion in Bashu County, who is also the reincarnation of an Immortal from the Ancient Times!”
“The current Sect Hierarch of the Yellow Heaven Sect, known as the second under heaven, is rumored too to be a reincarnated Immortal from the Ancient Times.”
Hearing this, Gongsun Yu said, “According to the Valley Master, could Commander Jiang also possibly be the reincarnation of such a significant figure?”
“Mhm!” Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then added, “Do you still remember the rain from yesterday?”

“Are you referring to the rain in the evening?”
“Yes!” Lu Qingshan nodded, “There was something off about that rain. According to heavenly phenomena, it was impossible for it to rain during that period; it was likely man-made.”
“And now, it seems possible that the rain was targeted at Young Master!”
Gongsun Yu suddenly widened his eyes, “Do you mean to say, Valley Master, that the rain could have been summoned by Jiang Ning? Could he possibly be the ultimate murderer behind He Jinyun’s death?”
“It’s possible!” Lu Qingshan revealed a slight smile, “But that’s just a possibility, my speculation! If he is the reincarnation of an Immortal, then it would make sense that he could summon a rainstorm that enveloped Luoshui County.”
…
On the other side.
After seeing off Lu Qingshan, Jiang Ning was sitting alone in his courtyard, sipping hot tea.
Today’s unexpected visit by Lu Qingshan was beyond his expectations.
“But it’s also a good thing! Lu Qingshan’s visit showed goodwill, indicating that the past conflicts with Medicine King Valley were over. From now on, I need not worry too much about threats from Medicine King Valley!”
“Moreover, it has brought back vitality to Brother’s paralyzed right arm, which is truly great news.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning showed a knowing smile.
These days, he knew well that his elder brother had been extremely depressed.
Anyone whose body suddenly became disabled, with an arm rendered useless, could hardly remain optimistic.
Originally, Jackson was planning to elevate his own strength and status before seeking a way to treat the disabled arm.
The stronger the power, the higher the connections, and the status could accordingly rise, providing chances to discover feasible solutions.
Now, this worry in his mind was resolved, clearing away the prolonged gloom of his elder brother.
Just then,
Jiang Ning’s expression grew serious.
“Someone is coming again!”
The next moment,
His figure vanished from that spot.
…
At the gate.
Boom boom boom—
Ye Qiu gently knocked on the gate,
The next moment,
The recently shut gate was opened.
“Brother Ye!” Jiang Ning spoke.
“Brother Jiang!” A hint of surprise crossed Ye Qiu’s face.
He had just knocked, and Jiang Ning appeared behind the door, almost as if he had known he was coming and specifically waited there for him.
This thought briefly crossed his mind before he firmly shook his head.
Impossible!
If Jiang Ning could really do that, then he would be terrifying!
I might not even be his match!
Just then,
Jiang Ning made way, “Please come in, Brother Ye!”
As he heard these words, Ye Qiu immediately snapped back to reality.
…
Under Jiang Ning’s lead, the two walked towards the east courtyard.
“Brother Ye, is there something on your mind that brings you here so suddenly today?”
“Nothing serious,” Ye Qiu shook his head, “Just coming to share some distress with Brother Jiang.”
“What’s causing Brother Ye such distress?”
Ye Qiu said, “Isn’t it about yesterday’s incident? Young Master suddenly died outside the Inspection Office, five hundred meters away, with a bizarre manner of death. The Residence Master had no choice but to assign me the task of investigating the real culprit.”
“You were there at the time, Brother Jiang, how should we investigate this?”
Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Jiang Ning’s heart tightened.
He then spoke, “It’s indeed hard to investigate; I’ve never seen such a manner of death before!”
“Yes,” Ye Qiu sighed deeply.
By then, the two had reached the east courtyard where Jiang Ning lived.
Seated in the courtyard, the two of them talked for a long time.
…
An hour later,
Jiang Ning finally saw Ye Qiu out of the residence.
After closing the main gate and returning to the courtyard,
Jiang Ning’s expression immediately became somewhat solemn.
Ye Qiu’s visit, and his indirect questioning during their conversation, had clearly been an attempt to test him.
Had he not been well-prepared, with experiences from two lifetimes, he might not have handled it appropriately.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning felt a heaviness in his heart.
Even Ye Qiu had come to suspect him, although they had no evidence.
But, as Wang Jin had previously said, did one really need evidence to act?
Evidence was merely a prerequisite for enforcing the law.
For the powerful, did the law impose any restraint on them?
Rules were indeed set by the powerful.
Rules were just meant to bind the weak, much like a sheep pen.
The purpose of constructing a sheep pen was simply to prevent sheep from escaping, and as for protecting them from wolves, that was just a glossy facade.
“Power is my greatest reliance!” Jiang Ning thought to himself.
Thinking of this,
Jiang Ning opened his right hand, and a gold-and-yellow box immediately appeared.
Lin Qingyi had told him that morning that the eerie blood within the box was the incredibly precious Hundred Spirit Blood.
Hundred Spirit Blood, derived from the blending and refining of blood from a hundred beasts into a precious elixir.
According to Lin Qingyi, this blood had extraordinary effects and was a treasure essential for achieving a “Blood Exchange Grandmaster” status.
On the market, a single drop of Hundred Spirit Blood was worth ten gold pieces, a hundred thousand silver, and it was priceless.
The main reason was that the Hundred Spirit Blood was crucial for becoming a Blood Exchange Grandmaster.
Furthermore, Hundred Spirit Blood had another effect.
It was to augment the Qi Blood Power, purely increasing the Qi Blood Power.
“No wonder, when I previously smelled the Hundred Spirit Blood, my body sent my brain an intense craving.”
Jiang Ning realized at that moment.
Such precious Hundred Spirit Blood, having indescribable benefits for the body, made his body naturally crave it intensely.
Thinking this, Jiang Ning glanced at the box again, then looked in the direction where his elder brother and sister-in-law were.
The next moment,
he activated his Spiritual Field, instantly enveloping Jiang Li.
“Brother, I’m going to the desolate island at the lake’s heart!”
Jiang Ning announced, employing his spiritual power to cause the air to vibrate, his voice reaching Jiang Li’s ears instantly.
Leaving this message,
he turned and left.
Opening the Golden Box would emit whispers that had almost caused him to sink previously.
In the courtyard, being too close to his elder brother and sister-in-law’s home, he feared the commotion from the Evil God statue might affect them, so he chose to go back to the uninhabited island he had visited before to practice.
…
At the lake’s surface,
Jiang Ning was now able to effortlessly tread on water.
The explosive power from the Dragon Tendon layer allowed for instant bursts of strength, making the lake’s surface no different from solid ground.
With each step, treading on the water was just like stepping on solid ground.
He wasn’t surprised by this.
Many experiments had been conducted in his previous life.
Falling into water from fifty meters high had no difference from crashing onto a concrete surface.
As long as the explosive power was strong enough, walking on water was overly simple.
After a while,
he arrived again at the previously visited uninhabited island.
Looking at the vast lake, feeling the cool lake breeze, Jiang Ning’s mood suddenly lightened.
Subsequently,
he once again took out the Golden Box from the Sumeru Ring.
“I wonder how much my Qi Blood Power can increase with the Hundred Spirit Blood? How much will it increase my Source Energy Points?”
Thinking this, Jiang Ning glanced again at his own panel.
[Source Energy]: 241.43
He silently noted this number in his mind.
