Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 183 - 83: Increase in Strength, Strengthening the Roots!_2

Jiang Ning smiled, "It's all right, completely safe now!"

During the conversation, Jiang Ning's gaze swept over a few people before landing on Wang Jin behind them.

"Master!" Jiang Ning bowed with cupped fists.

Wang Jin nodded slightly, "I heard you encountered some trouble, has it been resolved?"

"Resolved!" Jiang Ning nodded his head.

"That's good!" Wang Jin said, "Since you're here, why not stay for dinner?"

"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Ning bowed with cupped fists.

Then he untied the rope around his waist and lifted a White Dragon Fish weighing over two taels that was tied to his belt into the air.

"Master, this is White Dragon Fish meat, perfect to enjoy together."

"Oh?" Wang Jin looked at the fish meat in Jiang Ning's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "White Dragon Fish, that's quite the treasure! How did you manage to get your hands on this?"

Jiang Ning said, "I was lucky today, caught one in the Luoshui River."

"That's great!" Wang Jin nodded slightly, "With such a fine delicacy, let's have a drink later!"

"Dutifully at your service!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Then he walked towards Wang Jin.

When Jiang Ning approached within less than ten feet of Wang Jin, Wang Jin looked at Jiang Ning with a gaze full of surprise.

Because at this moment, he sensed a robust aura emanating from Jiang Ning.

"This lad... seems to have made significant progress recently!" Wang Jin exclaimed in his heart.

Although he could not discern Jiang Ning's exact strength at the moment.

He knew from the feeling that Jiang Ning's strength had changed dramatically.

Because a stronger presence brings an innate sense of pressure.

This is an instinctive reaction of the body.

Just like how ordinary people feel an overwhelming sense of oppression when facing the king of beasts in nature, that inherent feeling is undeniable.

Although the sensation Jiang Ning gave off wasn't quite as intense as that, it was clearly different from the indifference he once showed.

"Have you made quite the advancement in strength recently, lad?" Wang Jin asked.

Jiang Ning nodded, "Slightly refined."

"Do you feel confident about the upcoming assessment of the Inspection Office in three days?" Wang Jin inquired.

"Is it just three days away?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Yes, only three days left!" Wang Jin nodded, "I have received accurate information."

"Very well," Jiang Ning nodded, "In three days, Master, you will see for yourself! I certainly won't let you down!!"

Hearing this, Wang Jin couldn't help but smile, "Look at you, acting all mysterious! Fine then, I shall see your true abilities in three days."

...

On the dining table.

The two-tael White Dragon Fish had been sliced thinly and placed on a plate.

The White Dragon Fish's flesh didn't need any further processing; sliced, it was already incredibly delectable.

Moreover, this was the best way to retain the essence of the spiritual fish, which brought great benefits to the human body.

The flesh of such spiritual fish was gentle and even ordinary people could absorb the essence of the fish meat.

It also had the effect of improving the constitution and strengthening the body of common folks.

That is why White Dragon Fish was known as a spiritual fish, priceless and hard to find.

Jiang Ning first picked up a slice of White Dragon Fish meat and placed it in Wang Jin's bowl.

"Master, you eat first!"

"You are quite thoughtful!" Wang Jin chuckled.

"Dudu, Little Dumpling wants some too!" Jiang Yuanyuan, sitting next to Jiang Ning, tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

Jiang Ning, hearing this, chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Wait a bit!"

Then he said to Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan, "Big Brother and Sister-in-Law, let me first check the effects of this White Dragon Fish to see if it's suitable for ordinary people."

"You're being overly cautious, kid!" Wang Jin laughed.

Then he casually picked up the slice of White Dragon Fish from his bowl and popped it into his mouth.

After chewing twice, he swallowed it down.

He closed his eyes, shook his head, and said contentedly, "Fresh, tender, smooth; truly a top-tier enjoyment!!!"

The next moment, his face slightly changed, looking at the White Dragon Fish meat on the plate with great surprise.

At that time, Jiang Ning also picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt the freshness and silkiness to the max, much like a jelly.

With a gentle bite, the flesh was exceptionally tender.

"It is indeed delicious; no wonder Master is so ecstatic!" Jiang Ning exclaimed inwardly.

With the fish meat in his belly, he instantly felt as if the snow had fallen into a volcano, quickly melting away.

Then, the melting fish meat released streams of warmth.

He closed his eyes to savor the moment before finally opening them.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, you both can eat normally, but you need to pay attention to the portion size."

Wang Jin, upon hearing Jiang Ning's statement, nodded in agreement.

"You're right; it's indeed necessary to pay attention to the amount we take in!"

Then he looked at Jiang Ning, "Where did you catch such a White Dragon Fish? I've eaten White Dragon Fish meat before, too. That was at Binjiang Building in the county of Dongling County."

"But the one you have here is clearly different; the essence contained in this White Dragon Fish is far more than what I've had before."

Jiang Ning said, "I caught it not far from our house, just got lucky at the time."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning was also mumbling to himself in his heart.

Indeed lucky!

If I had been even a day later, that White Dragon Fish would have ended up in Shi Xiaoyuan's hands.

Not to mention that whole warehouse of iron ore, as well as that puddle of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Luoshui River.

As his thoughts wandered,

Jiang Ning also placed a piece of fish meat into Little Dumpling's bowl.

"Little Dumpling, eat slowly!"

"Mmm-hmm!!" Jiang Yuanyuan nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at grains.

Her little legs dangling from the stool also swung happily.

The frost-like fish meat had a somewhat fatally attractive appeal to someone her age.

The next moment,

she picked up the fish meat from the bowl with both hands and carefully nibbled at it.

After a few breaths,

she spoke in a wobbly, murmur-like voice, "So yum... so yum-yummy!!"

At that moment, Little Dumpling appeared drunk, her cheeks flushed, her gaze hazy.

Seeing this,

Jiang Ning, who had just raised his glass, quickly put it down.

Then he stretched out his hand and placed the index and middle fingers of his right hand on Little Dumpling's neck.

After examining her briefly, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Ah Ning, is Little Dumpling... okay?" Liuu Wanwan asked nervously, looking at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled, "She's fine! The fish meat is just too nourishing, that's why she's reacting like this! It's not suitable for her to eat too much at her age!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Ning also took the piece of fish meat from Little Dumpling's bowl and threw it into his mouth.

"Uncle, may I continue eating?" Jiang Yiming asked, seeing this.

Jiang Ning said, "When your body reacts like Little Dumpling's, then you can't eat anymore!"

"Understood!" Jiang Yiming nodded repeatedly, then added, "Thank you, Uncle!"

At this moment, he also knew that this kind of fish meat was an extremely precious thing.

It would be of tremendous help to his future Martial Arts training.

Thus, he treasured this opportunity very much, biting off the fish meat bit by bit and swallowing it.

On the other side,

Jiang Li, Jiang Ning, and Wang Jin clinked glasses, drinking the fine liquor provided by Wang Jin.

At the same time, they were eating a sumptuous dinner.

Especially the White Dragon Fish's meat, Jiang Li had only heard that such a fish was considered spiritual, priceless, and hard to come by.

For ordinary people, it could prolong life, strengthen the body, and automatically cure a myriad of illnesses.

For those who practiced Martial Arts, it could strengthen the Qi-Blood, muscles, tendons, and bones, greatly aiding the path of Martial Arts.

Jiang Li swallowed a piece of fish meat and felt the response from his body, filled with indescribable emotions.

This meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all the guests.

After Jiang Ning and his entourage had left,

Wang Jin also hurriedly made his way back to his courtyard. He now felt a barely perceptible change in his strength, which had remained stagnant at the Seventh Grade Peak for many years.

It seemed to be a change in the very foundations of his body, as well as in its upper limits.

A superior bodily foundation implies a higher limit.

At the same level, it means one would have more incredible strength, more exceptional agility, and quicker reflexes.

Those said to have Innate Divine Strength, in a sense, possess this inborn talent.

At this moment, Wang Jin was exceedingly excited as he felt changes in his body.

That White Dragon Fish was indeed completely different from what I had before!!

Wang Jin realized that the changes in his body must inevitably stem from the White Dragon Fish meat he had just eaten.
