Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 185 - 84: Divine Skills, Once Again Divine Skills! _2

"I need to head back!"

"Now that my essence, qi, and spirit are abundant, and my Qi-Blood is full, it's the perfect time to operate the Molten Furnace Pill Secret Skill and refine the Strength Pills."

At this thought, Jiang Ning cast his gaze toward the tall wall not far ahead.

Then, with a few leaps, he flipped over the wall and returned to his own courtyard.

Upon entering his house, he picked up a Jade Bottle containing the Strength Pills from the table.

After pouring out two Strength Pills from the bottle, Jiang Ning paused, then poured out one more, making it three in total.

He threw all three Strength Pills directly into his mouth, and with the movement of his throat, the pills entered his stomach.

He sat down cross-legged on his bed.

Instantly visualizing that melting furnace in his mind.

With the experience from the evening, this time's visualization and operation of the Molten Furnace Pill Secret Skill were even more effortless.

Boom—

In his mind, the large furnace instantly burst into raging flames.

At this moment, the Qi-Blood Power that was already full within his body seemed to become the kindling for the furnace's burning.

In the blink of an eye,

Thirty minutes later,

Jiang Ning stopped operating the Molten Furnace Pill Secret Skill.

He examined his body internally and instantly saw the medicinal liquid from the Strength Pills and near the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill, there were also four drops of pale golden medicinal liquid condensed.

At this point, he also noticed that compared to before, the volume of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill inside his body had shrunk by a good third.

"What a powerful secret technique!"

Seeing the shrinkage of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill, Jiang Ning couldn't help but inwardly exclaim in awe.

Normally, it would take nearly half a year of effort for the body to fully digest and absorb the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.

But now, having operated the Molten Furnace Pill Secret Skill only twice, he had refined about a third of the total amount of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.

With this efficiency, after a few more uses of the secret technique, the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill inside his body would be completely refined and absorbed.

Afterward, he continued to close his eyes.

He activated his Qi-Blood to dissolve the medicinal liquid refined from the Strength Pills.

The medicinal liquid was dissolved, transported through his Qi-Blood to the muscles of his arms, and then he started to temper the muscle groups in his arms with Power.

All at once, waves of a satisfying soreness swept over him.

In this state, Jiang Ning distinctly felt the resilience of his muscles being tempered was improving.

The increase in resilience allowed for an eruption of even more powerful strength.

After thirty minutes,

"My strength has increased again! I'm nearly reaching the power of 3,000 jin!"

Jiang Ning clenched his fist, calling upon his own strength. Delighted by the feeling of power enhancement, his expression brightened.

A strength of 3,000 jin, when considered amongst practitioners at the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm, would be quite close to an upper limit.

Most of the strong at the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm, who have reached Great Success in Power Training, only have strength around 2,500 jin.

Only the cream of the crop could possess a strength of 3,000 jin.

Yet now, his strength was nearly there.

With a glance at the Eighth Grade, merely in terms of strength, he was already one of the elites.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ning did not feel that he had reached his strength limit.

The muscle groups in his arms could clearly be further tempered.

"I wonder how much strength will be my limit at the Eighth Grade?"

"3,500 jin? 3,600 jin? 3,700 jin…"

"Or the legendary 4,000 jin that rivals the Innate Divine Strength?"

Contemplating these possibilities, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly gleamed with aspiration.

Afterward,

He glanced at the scene outside the window.

He saw the cool moonlight had almost become a straight line, shining onto the edge of the window.

It was time to sleep!

Tomorrow I have many things to do.

I need to find a suitable buyer for the warehouse of iron ore found in the sunken ship.

This is a vast fortune.

Those spoils of war also need to be sold for Silver Taels, and then I can spend them well.

I must advance to the Seventh Grade as quickly as possible; otherwise, if Cao Rong comes knocking one day, I am no match for him with my current strength.

And there's the trouble with Medicine King Valley.

I wonder how Liu Qingsong managed to suspect that I have the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.

Though Liu Qingsong and his two companions were sunk into the lake by me, within a day or two, the disciples of Medicine King Valley accompanying Liu Qingsong will undoubtedly realize they are missing.

Once Medicine King Valley sends someone else, it may not be someone at the Martial Arts Seventh Grade like Liu Qingsong.

It could either be a Seven Grade unbeatable warrior comparable to Cao Rong or a Sixth Rank.

Since Liu Qingsong could perceive something off about me, there's no guarantee others from Medicine King Valley won't be able to.

Considering this, Jiang Ning felt a tightening in his heart.

The slightly inflated confidence due to the recent strength improvement instantly came back to earth.

My current strength might be decent in Luoshui County.

But in the grand scheme of Dongling County, it wouldn't amount to much.

Just try to look across Zeshan State, and even the whole Great Xia, as well as this world.

This world, beyond the borders of Great Xia, has an expansive realm.

According to what he knew from some books, in the Eastern Sea, there were three islands overseas and eighty-one smaller islands, numerous powers and sects beyond count.

In the south, within the wild mountain ranges, lay the slumbering Great Demon of ancient times, said to have survived from the era when the Ancient Immortals stood tall.

In the north, there were barbarians knocking at the border, whose blood was rumored to be completely different from that of the people of Great Xia.

In this vast world, those of the Eighth Grade are no different from ants.

Even those of the Seventh and Sixth Grade are merely slightly larger ants, insignificant to the world at large.

Only a Grandmaster can be renowned across a state.

Only a Great Grandmaster can make waves throughout the world.

...

Only a Martial Saint can claim to be invincible in this era.

"I possess an interface and have such opportunities, I shall become Great Xia's second Martial Saint!" Jiang Ning looked at his panel, silently declaring to himself.

Then he lay down on his bed and slowly fell asleep.

...

The next day.

Dawn was breaking.

Jiang Ning rolled out of bed.

[Name]: Jiang Ning

[Source Energy Points]: 151.8

[Skill]:

Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 1616/3000) (Trait: unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)

Five Animals Fist (First Limit Breaking 235/2000) (Trait: Five Internal Organs Store Essence)

Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Fourth Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Trait: touch and understand, Blade Like a Swift Wind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 1513/2000)

Canglang Blade Skill (Great Success 48/1000)

Vajra Immortal Body (small success 1/5000)

Swimming (Third Limit Breaking 4000/4000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique, Water Spirit Affinity)

Comfortable!!

Looking at his own panel, Jiang Ning felt only these two words in his heart.

Within a day, his Source Energy Points skyrocketed from just over twenty to one hundred fifty-one.

Such an enormous increase was a first.

But considering his experience from yesterday, Jiang Ning felt it was normal.

Yesterday in the cave, he had refined a bowl-sized amount of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasure called "water from the water."

This object led to nearly ten thousand Experience Value points being added to his Swimming Skill.

It took the once First Limit Breaking Swimming Skill to complete its Third Limit Breaking, and there was still plenty to spare even after the potential for a Fourth Limit Breaking.

It goes without saying how formidable the energy within that unknown Heavenly Material must have been.

Not to mention afterwards, he consumed several pounds of White Dragon Fish flesh, refined five Strength Pills, and around thirty percent of a Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.

"Indeed plausible!" Thinking about his abundantly rewarding day yesterday, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Then his gaze fell on the column for the Swimming Skill.

"It's time to break through!"

The next instant.

With a thought, the Source Energy Points on his panel started to plummet rapidly.

In a blink.

[Source Energy Points]: 51.8

The Source Energy Points froze at this number.

And the Swimming Skill had completed its Fourth Limit Breaking.

[Skill]: Swimming (Fourth Limit Breaking 1877/5000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall)

[Cloud Formation and Rainfall]: A kind of Divine Skill, could manipulate clouds and rainfall.

Divine Skill?

Another Divine Skill?

Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened as he read the note on this trait.

"Cloud Formation and Rainfall, huh? This Divine Skill seems a bit superfluous on the surface," he mused internally.

"But that might not be the case!" his thoughts shifted, he mused internally: "On a rainy day, it must be of great help to me!"

"Surely I can absorb the energy from a water source to replenish my own depletion, and it can also heal injuries."

"And with the rainfall, it would facilitate my use of the Water Manipulation Divine Ability!"

Thinking of these points, Jiang Ning's perspective on the Cloud Formation and Rainfall Divine Skill changed, and he felt anticipation.

Now, I just don't know how much this Divine Skill will consume for me?

How substantial is it?

To what extent can I make Cloud Formation and Rainfall affect an area?

Might as well try it out, try it and I will know!!
