Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 288: Breaking the limit of swordsmanship and improving strength! (Seeking monthly votes!!)

The first day of the new year.

After seeing off Xie Zhengtian, the head of the Xie family, Jiang Ning took out the two silver notes he had just received and gave them to Lu Yi, asking him to go to Wanhua Tower and help him buy the two kinds of treasures.

Star grass and the heart of all trees.

After arranging this matter, he headed towards his own East Courtyard.

It was now Chenshi, and there was less than an hour left until Sishi when he could breathe in and out the essence of the sun and increase the progress of his inner alchemy health-preserving exercises.

In the blink of an eye.

The Si hour has arrived.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged on a cushion in his yard, with his five hearts facing the sky, and then practiced breathing techniques towards the sun above his head.

With each breath, the essence of the sun entered his internal organs through his nasal cavity.

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

[Inner elixir’s health-preserving experience value +1]

【.】

As he continued to practice breathing techniques, his experience points in inner alchemy health-preserving exercises continued to increase.

He also felt strands of internal energy condensing and merging into his dantian. The internal energy in his dantian continued to grow, making the vision like a rushing river even more powerful.

Two hours later.

Noon is approaching.

"call--"

Jiang Ning exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

After breathing in the sun's essence for two hours, he felt that he had improved greatly.

In particular, the growth of internal interest is extremely obvious.

[This time, by inhaling and exhaling the Sun's essence, the experience points of the Inner Alchemy Health-preserving Exercise increased by a total of 113 points. ]

[Skills]: Inner Dan Health Preservation Exercise (Minor Success 1500/5000)

"We are almost one third of the way there." He nodded with satisfaction, then closed the panel and stood up.

After a short period of practice, he went to the front hall again.

Only then did he realize that many people had come to visit him during the two hours he had been practicing.

The first day of the New Year, according to local customs in Luoshui County, is the time to visit relatives and friends.

After what happened last night, all the forces in the city knew that Jiang Ning has now grown into one of the most important figures in Luoshui County.

As a result, all parties did not dare to be negligent and chose to come to Jiang Ning's mansion early in the morning to show their goodwill.

After taking a quick look at the list written down by his sister-in-law Liu Wanwan and the gifts she had given him with the arrival of the New Year, he immediately had an idea.

It only took two hours.

Most of the forces from all sides in Luoshui County have already arrived.

They did not come here to meet him like Xie Zhengtian, the head of the Xie family, did. They came here just to leave a gift and let Liu Wanwan tell him of their arrival.

"It seems that the battle last night had a great impact on all parties!"

Jiang Ning thought of this and smiled.

The performance of various forces also proved that all his efforts in learning martial arts were worthwhile.

If not, how could we have the situation today?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning exchanged a few simple greetings with his elder brother and sister-in-law, asking them to remember to call him when it was time to eat.

Then he picked up the little bean bun dressed like a little bear and played with it for a while, then returned to his East Courtyard to continue practicing boxing and strengthening his bones.

It's approaching noon.

Only then did Jiang Ning hear Lu Yi coming slowly.

His heart was suddenly filled with a slight excitement.

Because Lu Yi had just gone out with the 20,000 taels of silver, and followed his instructions to go to Wanhua Tower to buy the two kinds of immortal treasures he needed.

Star grass and the heart of all trees.

Ever since he absorbed the Miao Yan Spiritual Fruit last time, he knew that for him, absorbing the so-called immortal treasures would have a very obvious effect on the increase of source energy.

The Miaoyan Spirit Fruit he ate last time provided him with an increase of more than 300 source energy points.

Now, there are two kinds of immortal treasures, and the increase in source energy points they provide must be considerable, enough to make his source energy points exceed 500 points.

When his energy points exceed 500, his strength will be enhanced again.

The wood-chopping knife technique can complete the sixth limit-breaking, allowing him to master new characteristics.

Moreover, his sword power can be enhanced again, allowing his strongest means of killing the enemy to be further enhanced.

He still remembers it clearly.

A few days ago, the two fifth-grade inner strong realm warriors from the God Worshipping Cult attacked. When the Wind God transformed into the six-armed descendant of the god, he could not kill the six-armed descendant of the god by any other means.

At that time, he had only one way to kill the God Worshipping Cult warrior in the state of Six-Armed God Descendant.

That is to unleash the power of the sword and rely on the sharpness of his spiritual weapon.

Only in this way can we kill it.

From this we can see that his sword power combined with his spiritual weapon is the strongest means of killing the enemy.

Now that his swordsmanship has broken through the limits again, his strongest means of killing the enemy has been strengthened again.

Subsequently.

He quickly completed the bone strengthening and Five Animals Fist exercises, gathered his fists, and then summoned Lv Yi.

"Young Master!" Lu Yi trotted over.

"Have you brought anything?"

"I brought it!" Lu Yi nodded repeatedly, then took out two jade boxes that she had hidden close to her body.

"Young Master, these are the Star Grass and Ten Thousand Tree Hearts you want!" Lu Yi said, and then took out a few scattered silver bills: "Young Master, these are the unused silver bills."

Jiang Ning took the two jade boxes from Luyi's hands, and glanced at the four thousand silver notes in Luyi's hand. Each of the four silver notes had a face value of one thousand taels, totaling four thousand taels.

"Keep the banknotes for now, there will be more expenses in the future!"

"Yes, sir!" Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Lu Yi nodded repeatedly and happily stuffed the four silver bills into her small purse.

Managing money has a special meaning to her.

At this time, Jiang Ning was holding two jade boxes and walking towards the pavilion next to the bamboo forest in the yard.

Sitting on the stone bench, looking at the two jade boxes he had placed on the stone table, his face was full of joy.

With these two things in hand, his strength can be improved again.

Then he untied the jade glue-like seal in the gap of the jade box.

This sealing method can greatly increase the shelf life of any natural treasures and reduce the loss of their medicinal effects.

next moment.

As he opened the jade box, the contents of the box appeared before his eyes.

It was a clover about ten centimeters long. The clover was purple in color, and the leaves seemed to be phosphorescent, constantly shining with silver colors, like stars.

"No wonder it's called Star Grass!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but admire the scene in front of him.

Subsequently.

He grabbed the star grass in front of him and threw it into his mouth.

As his teeth chewed up and down, the whole star grass was crushed in his mouth.

"It tastes just ordinary!" Jiang Ning shook his head after feeling the taste transmitted by his taste buds.

Then his throat moved, and the star grass in his mouth entered his stomach.

He felt it for another quarter of an hour, but still didn't feel any changes in his body.

It was as if what he had just eaten was not the star grass known as a fairy treasure, but an ordinary weed.

"Forget it!" He shook his head: "Let's see if there are any other gains from the Wanmu Tree Heart!"

As the thought came to his mind, his eyes fell on another jade box on the table.

The gaps in the jade box are still sealed by jade liquid.

next moment.

He unsealed the jade liquid, opened the jade box, and the hearts of all the trees in the box suddenly appeared in his eyes.

It is said to be the heart of a tree, but in fact it is a solid emerald green piece the size of an ordinary pebble.

This emerald green solid still emits a bright green light in the bright daytime. It seems that there is a misty air flowing inside, and there is a fairy light flashing, which is very magical. "It looks a bit scary!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Then he picked up the Wanmu tree heart in the box.

The tentacles are soft and not hard, but instead have a jelly-like feel.

If you pinch it gently, you can see the concave surface.

Then he no longer hesitated.

Just pick up the pebble-sized heart of the tree and throw it into your mouth.

After taking the heart of the Wanmu tree into his mouth, he felt as if a piece of jelly had been thrown into his mouth.

However, compared to ordinary jelly, the heart of the Wanmu tree seemed chewier as he chewed it.

It takes less than a moment.

He chewed up the hearts of all the trees and swallowed them.

He suddenly felt a strong vitality radiating from his whole body, and streams of cool air rushed through his internal organs and limbs.

My whole body suddenly felt extremely comfortable.

But that was all. Apart from that, he could not feel any other strengthening or changes in any part of his body.

"The specific effect will have to wait and see tomorrow!"

in the afternoon.

Jiang Ning went to visit Wang Jin and sat for half an hour. Then he went to Wanhua Tower to meet Lin Qingyi.

Less than half an hour later, he came out of Wanhua Building and returned home to practice martial arts.

As for the others, he didn't see them at all.

The next day.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door.

"The weather should be good today!" He smiled, looking happy and obviously in a good mood.

Because the first thing he did when he got up was to open his panel and take a look.

He was also satisfied with the results he saw.

[Source Energy]: 618.83
If the source energy points exceed 500 points, it means that he can break the limit of the wood-chopping knife technique again and gain new characteristics.

Thinking of this, he looked at the skill column on the panel again.

[Skills]: Chopping Wood Knife Skills + (break the limit 6000/6000 five times) (Features: learning by analogy, the knife is as fast as the wind, the knife is as godly, the man and the knife are one, and the knife bone is born)
Now there is a plus sign in the column of wood-chopping knife skills, which also means that this skill has met the requirements of breaking the limit.

Then, his mind suddenly moved.

The source energy points dropped rapidly.

He also slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant.

He saw billions of images flashing through his mind.

In the picture, there are spring, summer, autumn and winter.

And in every scene, he is chopping wood and practicing with his sword.

There is only one sword technique I practiced, and that is chopping.

After billions of chop strokes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and blessing comes to the soul.

He chopped the wood with one stroke.

The knife strike was ordinary, but the light between heaven and earth suddenly dimmed, and then a knife light appeared.

When this knife light appeared, all the images that appeared in my mind disappeared.

He also slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the panel again.

[Skills]: Wood Splitting Knife Technique (break the limit 4788/7000 six times) (Features: learning by analogy, the knife is as fast as thunder, the knife is as godly, the man and the knife are one, and the knife is born with the talent)
"Five characteristics?"

When Jiang Ning saw his own panel, his eyes suddenly focused.

Then he noticed the changes on the panel.

"The knife is as fast as lightning?" he muttered to himself, and then his eyes fell on this feature.

[The knife is as fast as thunder]: The knife is as fast as thunder.

At this moment, he recalled the previous description of the feature.

[The sword is as fast as the wind]: As if assisted by a god, the sword is drawn at an extremely fast speed, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

"This should be the upgraded version of Blade as Swift Wind!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself as he looked at the changes on the panel.

Then, he thought of the previous changes in water properties, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the column for water skills on the panel.

[Skills]: Water (break the limit 7000/7000 six times) (Features: underwater breathing, water control +, affinity with water spirits, cloud and rain control, water spirit body)
[Water Control Technique+]: A kind of authority that gives one the natural ability to control water.

He still remembered that in the beginning, the ability to control water was just a kind of magical power.

When his water nature was broken and his water control skills were improved, this characteristic became a term for authority, and the display on the panel was also extremely easy to understand.

A plus sign appears after the feature, indicating an upgraded version.

At this point, look at the different manifestations of these two characteristics.

Jiang Ning also understood immediately.

Breaking the limits of skills will not only add new features, but also improve the original features.

Like the previous water control technique, from supernatural power to authority.

Today's knife is as fast as the wind and as fast as thunder.

They have all been improved on the original basis and have become more powerful features.

Think of this.

He raised his hand and a long knife appeared in his hand.

next moment.

shhhhh--

The flash of swords kept flashing in the courtyard.

After a while.

Clearly visible knife marks appeared on the ground.

"The speed of sword drawing has increased by 30%! Not bad!!" Jiang Ning nodded with satisfaction.

Although this breakthrough did not bring him any greater changes in characteristics, the increase in sword speed was the most direct way to increase his strength.

The 30% increase in knife speed is a very obvious improvement.

In a fierce battle, a 10% speed difference can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.

Not to mention a 30% increase.

This 30% increase in sword speed was enough to give him the strength to crush his previous self.

Moreover, breaking the limit of the wood-chopping knife technique, in addition to the increase in knife speed, also directly improves the knife force.

His eyes immediately fell on the ground. On the floor tiles, there were hundreds of criss-crossing knife marks.

These knife marks are deep and shallow.

The deep ones are three to five centimeters deep and more than ten centimeters long.

There is only a faint trace.

And these knife marks were all caused by the flash of the knife when he just swung the knife casually.

After seeing this scene, he also knew that his sword power had been further improved.

He just swung the knife casually, without using any other force except brute force.

But the knife light was like a solid blade, which could easily leave a mark when it fell on the ground.

This is the breakthrough of the sword power, which has been improved again on the original level.

Now when he draws his sword, even if he only uses brute force, a random strike of the sword can draw on the power of heaven and earth and condense it into a separate body sword light, which also has a certain lethality.

This kind of ability, if an ordinary person can achieve his level of control over the sword.

Holding an ordinary weapon, he can kill a ninth-level martial artist as easily as killing a chicken.

A few strikes in the air, this sharp sword light falling on an ordinary ninth-grade martial artist is enough to kill him.

"Improving my skills is the most direct way to increase my strength!" Jiang Ning looked at his masterpiece on the floor tiles with emotion.

It only took a few moments.

After breaking through the limit of his wood-chopping knife technique, his strength directly rose to a higher level.
