Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1271 - 179: Five Mountains Prefecture, Purple Robe Marquis

Chapter 1271: Chapter 179: Five Mountains Prefecture, Purple Robe Marquis

Five Mountains Prefecture.

After arranging everything, Jiang Ning headed straight for the Five Mountains Prefecture.

Since Zhi Xuan Mountain had already made a move against him, he wasn’t planning on just taking it passively.

Especially after learning from Shen Wenyan about the strength of the Marquis, the Residence Master of the Five Mountains Prefecture, which was just a hair’s breadth away from the Master of Zhi Xuan Mountain, Jiang Ning’s mind was full of ideas.

"First, I must meet that Marquis!"

Standing at the boundary between Guangning Prefecture and the Five Mountains Prefecture, Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Ahead was an unending series of towering mountain ranges.

The mountains stood so high, even birds struggled to cross them.

The mountain range before him was also the boundary between Guangning Prefecture and the Five Mountains Prefecture.

Both prefetures were within the territory of Zeshan State.

By now, the sky was also darkening.

After a whole day of journeying back and forth, he was feeling a bit tired.

Then he found a water source, moved his body, and dived into it.

Only after nearly an hour did he emerge from the water.

Under the dim evening sky, his eyes shone brightly, as if stars were sparkling in them.

"I’ve barely managed to recover seventy to eighty percent!" Jiang Ning clenched his fist, feeling his condition, and murmured to himself.

With his growing strength, he noticed that although being in the water allowed the source to nourish him, the rate of his recovery was not as efficient as it used to be.

Now, even after spending nearly an hour, he had only restored his state to about seventy to eighty percent.

He knew this wasn’t due to a decrease in ability.

Rather, his body had simply grown too large.

If compared to a container, his current capacity, compared to before, was something that now could be calculated in multiples, a completely different magnitude.

A higher upper capacity naturally meant slower recovery.

With a little adjustment, he again dashed away.

Without suitable waterways, he could only rely on his movement technique to travel.

...

Five Mountains City.

Located on Sky Mountain.

This mountain had cliffs on three sides, with only one side cleared for roads to provide access to the mountain and entrance to Sky City.

Sky City served as the prefecture city of the Five Mountains Prefecture.

At this moment, Jiang Ning stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up, where he could see nearly no greenery on the mountain’s surface, only exposed rocks and steep cliffs.

On the mountain path, there were flickering lights, indicating travelers on their journey.

Looking further up, he could see the towering city walls at the mountain’s peak.

The firelight reflected on the city walls was visible.

He could see the lights rising continuously with the help of the heat, floating above the city walls.

"Five Mountains Prefecture, Sky City!" Jiang Ning murmured.

The next moment.

His figure moved, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

A moment later, he arrived at the entrance to Sky City.

Despite the time being when evening lights were first lit, the entrance was still bustling with merchants and travelers.

Soon, Jiang Ning smoothly entered the city.

Immediately, his Divine Thought expanded, and nearly half of Sky City unfolded in his mind.

Countless buildings, countless pedestrians, countless chaotic and disorderly sounds all fell into his mind.

At that moment, he stood still, his eyes slightly closed, his mind swiftly scanning every corner within his range, processing all the conversations of the people nearby.

His brain instantly entered an overworked state, and he furrowed his brow slightly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

A few breaths later.

"Hey! Hey! Kid, don’t stand in the way!" someone pushed Jiang Ning from behind.

In the next moment.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes, looked casually at the man behind him, and vanished instantly.

The moment he left, a tumult arose from behind.

A moment later.

Jiang Ning appeared at the entrance of a tavern.

Chunfeng Lou.

He looked up and saw the plaque hanging on the front hall.

Then he ascended the steps and entered Chunfeng Lou.

Having just carefully scanned nearly half of Sky City, he also identified the Marquis Mansion in the city.

With his destination locked in, he was in no rush.

Visiting late at night was not appropriate.

Moreover, he had been traveling back and forth between Dongling City and Guangning Prefecture, crossing boundaries, from Guangning Prefecture to the Five Mountains Prefecture, and was already physically and mentally exhausted.

His Heart Spirit was particularly weary.

He had expended the Great Five Elements Water Escape Technique multiple times through rivers and waterways.

Even with his currently deep foundation, every time he performed this technique, it felt as if his whole body was about to be drained.

Although the nurturance of water could restore his energy, the accumulated fatigue in his mind could not be dispelled.

A moment later.

He rented a lakeside room at the counter.

Behind Chunfeng Lou was the largest lake in Sky City.

...

The third floor of Chunfeng Lou.

The attendant turned the lock, and with a "click," the perfectly sealed door revealed a sliver of an opening.

Then the attendant pushed hard, and the door opened in response.

"Sir, here’s your room key, please keep it safe!" the attendant said, respectfully handing the elongated key to Jiang Ning.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning tossed out a silver ingot.

"Prepare good wine and food, and a bath!"

At that moment, seeing the silver ingot glitter, the attendant scrambled to catch it in a fluster.

The moment he felt the heavy weight in his hand, a smile with crow’s feet spread across his face.

"Sir, rest assured, I will arrange everything properly!!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Ning nodded wearily.

He then took the key the attendant handed over, stepping into his room.

Instantly, a gust of wind blew through the corridor, greeting him.

The breeze carried the unique coolness of the night, along with the freshness of the lake wind.

Feeling the refreshing gust, Jiang Ning felt instantly revitalized.

Then, he took a glance at the room he had booked.

The room was divided into three areas.

The central area, connected to the lakeside balcony, was the main hall.

The left side was the dining and tea area.

The right side was the sleeping area.

After inspecting his room, he nodded in satisfaction.
