Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 319: Growth of Skills (Seeking monthly tickets!)
a.

Push the door open.

The courtyard was already covered in white.

As the cold wind blew back, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.

A few goose-feather-like snowflakes fell on his neck, melted into snow water by his body temperature, and instantly released a chill.

"The temperature has dropped again!" Jiang Ning sighed.

Then he glanced at his own panel.

[Skills]: Reading and spelling (5477 times to break the limit of 6000/) (Features: photographic memory, extraordinary five senses, quick thinking, outstanding understanding, clairvoyance)
Inner Dan Health Preservation Exercise (Minor Achievement 4055/5000)
These days, the biggest changes are in these two skills on the panel.

I can read and write, and after a few days of gaining experience, I am now not far from the 6,000 experience points required to break the limit.

The progress of the Neidan Health Preserving Exercise has been very fast because the weather was mainly sunny in the past few days. It has already exceeded 4,000 points. It is only less than the last 1,000 points away from the 5,000 experience points required to complete the exercise, achieve qualitative change of internal energy, and condense it into a Gang.

But as the weather suddenly cooled down, heavy snow fell in the yard and the temperature dropped sharply overnight.

He knew that he would have no chance of practicing inner alchemy and health-preserving exercises in the next few days.

This technique can only be practiced on a sunny day when there is no obstruction to the sun.

Then he took a look at the snow scene in the yard, and looked away, too lazy to clean up the snow in the yard.

He doesn't practice martial arts now, and all he does every day is read books.

In order to increase his experience in literacy, he had already read all the books at home.

These days, he bought a lot of books he had not read from various bookstores in the city. Every time he finished reading a batch of books, Luyi would buy the next batch for him.

He himself can’t even count how many books he has read now.

But he knew that he had read almost all the books available for purchase in Luoshui County.

Two days ago, Luyi went to buy books for him. She ran around for most of the day and bought a cart full of books.

He took a few glances and found that he had read most of the books before, but Lu Yi just didn't know about it.

He then closed the panel in front of him and stepped into the yard.

A few days ago, Bai Luoyu and Xiao Emei also returned to Dongling City together.

And Xiao Emei also secretly came to see him as promised before leaving.

He also gave Xiao Emei a task.

That is to monitor the actions of Shuiyue Sword Palace, especially Xiao Qiu Shui's actions and arrangements, and report to him in a timely manner.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"According to the time, she should have returned to Shuiyue Sword Palace in the past two days. I don't know what Xiao Qiushui will do if she returns empty-handed. I also don't know if she will keep her promise and pass the information to me, or betray me."

After a while.

Jiang Ning had just finished washing up and was about to go back to his room to read when he heard a fluttering sound coming from above his head.

When he looked up, he saw a large green bird circling in the sky above Luoshui County.

"Flying letter old man?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Ning's eyes, and he instantly recalled what Xiao Emei said to him when she left.

next moment.

He walked quickly back into the house.

He picked up a piece of emerald green bamboo stick shaped like a fire starter and walked into the empty yard.

In the courtyard, Lu Yi, who was there just now, has now left, and went to serve Jiang Ning a meat soup to warm his stomach as usual.

Later, in the yard.

Jiang Ning opened the lid of the bamboo stick in his hand, and a strange smell immediately wafted out.

He also saw what was hidden in the bamboo strips. It was something that was shaped like red clay.

As the strange fragrance of the bamboo sticks spread, about a dozen breaths of time passed.

The flying letter Weng hovering over Luoshui County seemed to have found its direction and instantly fell towards Jiang Ning's yard like a sharp arrow.

Several feet above the ground, Fei Tian Xin Weng spread his wings again, with a wingspan of up to one and a half meters, instantly stirring up a gust of wind.

After spreading its wings, the speed of the flying letter bird dropped suddenly.

Pulling-

It flapped its wings and landed on Jiang Ning's outstretched arm.

As big as a fly.

Its claws are like iron hooks and are white in color.

The beak is scarlet and extremely sharp.

After landing on Jiang Ning's arm, Fei Tian Xin Weng pecked away the layer of red mud on the top of the bamboo stick in Jiang Ning's hand with two "thumps".

Seeing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

He exerted a little force and tore the bamboo strip in his hand apart.

When Fei Tian Xin Weng saw this, he lowered his head and quickly ate the red mud-like substance hidden in the bamboo stick.

Then she lowered her head and rubbed Jiang Ning's chest, showing her affection.

At this time, Jiang Ning also saw the letter tube tied to the right foot of Feitian Xinweng.

He opened the mailbox and pulled out the roll of paper.

After he unfolded it, it was a letter from Xiao Emei, just as he expected.

After a while.

He has already finished reading it.

call--

He slowly let out a breath.

According to the records on the letterhead.

After Xiao Emei returned, although she did not complete Xiao Qiu Shui's task, she was not punished by Xiao Qiu Shui.

But Xiao Qiu Shui did not let go of this matter.

Instead, she asked her second disciple, Yu Manyun, to continue to carry out this task, which was to invite Jiang Ning to Shuiyue Palace.

According to the return in the letter.

Jiang Ning also knew that Xiao Qiu Shui's biological sister, Xiao Qiuyue, was now in the Shuiyue Sword Palace.

And it has already been in the Shuiyue Sword Palace.

For so long, the reason why Xiao Qiuyue, He Jinyun's biological mother, did not leave Shuiyue Sword Palace was because Xiao Qiu Shui did not dare to let her leave.

After losing her son, Xiao Qiuyue decided to die.

Especially after Xiao Emei returned empty-handed, Xiao Qiuyue became even more agitated.

Therefore, Xiao Qiu Shui didn't dare to let Xiao Qiuyue leave.

Because Xiao Qiuyue understood that if she dared to kill the officials of the Inspection Office at this point in time, it would bring about a terrible disaster.

Others will weigh the pros and cons and will not take action against Jiang Ning just because of suspicion.

But Xiao Qiuyue is different.

According to Xiao Emei's report, Xiao Qiuyue now only wants to kill all potential possibilities and avenge her only son.

In order to seek revenge, Xiao Qiuyue now has the mentality of preferring to kill ten people by mistake rather than let one go.

Because of this, Xiao Qiu Shui didn't dare to let her leave.

But at the same time, Xiao Emei also said that in order to express herself and to increase her status in Xiao Qiu Shui's mind, Yu Manyun would definitely do her best to do this matter.

Because for the position of the next Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace, Yu Manyun is the second choice.

In this matter, Yu Manyun will definitely strive to show that she is better, so as to gain Xiao Qiu Shui's recognition and increase her status in Xiao Qiu Shui's heart.

After reading the entire letter, Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.

"Yu Manyun, Xiao Qiushui, Xiao Qiuyue, Xiao Emei."

"I don't know how much of Xiao Emei's words in this letter are true and how much are false."

“I think most of it is true.”

"The real problem may be the description of Yu Manyun."

"It's not impossible for her to borrow my knife to help her get rid of Yu Manyun."

Jiang Ning whispered in his heart.

He felt that this speculation was quite possible.

Because it is obvious that in Shuiyue Sword Palace, Xiao Emei is not good enough to be qualified to be the successor to the Palace Master.

So since Yu Manyun was mentioned repeatedly by Xiao Emei, she must be a potential competitor of hers.

Then he thought of Xiao Qiuyue, who was mentioned in the letter, the wife of Qinghe Earl and the biological mother of He Jinsheng.

Thinking of this person, Jiang Ning couldn't help but frown.

If it were other people, there would still be room for maneuver.

After all, his current status was not low and he was an official of the Inspection Office.

Even the current Earl of Qinghe, He Jinsheng's father, is unlikely to kill him just because of a suspicion and provoke the behemoth of the Inspection Office.

After all, Qinghe Bo has many sons.

In such a large family, the total number of direct and collateral descendants is an astonishing number.

Family affection is generally not that strong.

So we will weigh the pros and cons, and once we have weighed the pros and cons, we will not act impulsively.

But this is not the case for He Jinsheng's biological mother, Xiao Qiuyue.

She only had one son, He Jinsheng.

For most mothers in the world, their children are their only hope.

Especially in a large family like the Qinghe Earl's Mansion, it is difficult for a husband and wife to have pure and deep feelings. The deepest feelings are only between mother and son.

He Jinyun's death was devastating news to his mother Xiao Qiuyue. Jiang Ning did not find it strange that Xiao Qiuyue did anything to avenge her only son, and he understood her very well.

So he had no doubt at all about what Xiao Emei said in the letter.

But although he understood it, Xiao Qiuyue's idea also gave Jiang Ning a headache.

There is no evidence for He Jinyun's death. Both Xiao Qiu Shui and Qing He Bo would weigh the pros and cons and would not act impulsively.

But if Xiao Qiuyue died in his hands, it would be a matter of public display.

The wife of the Earl of Qinghe and Xiao Qiu Shui's biological sister.

Either of these two identities will bring big trouble.

Not to mention having both identities.

If Xiao Qiuyue died in his hands, it would be like stirring up two hornet's nests.

Think of all these things.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt depressed and unhappy.

The feeling is no less than a dark cloud hanging over your head.

I just feel extremely depressed.

"You're still not strong enough!" Jiang Ning clenched his fists.

After a while.

"call--"

He let out a long sigh of relief that had accumulated in his heart.

"If I were strong enough, the dark clouds in my heart would naturally dissipate!"

"If I had the power of a Grandmaster, would He Jinyun's matter be so troublesome?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning understood even more clearly that the most important thing for him now was to improve his own strength.

In a world where great power belongs to oneself, the greatest reliance is fists, followed by power.

As long as the fist is strong enough, a common man's anger can be as murderous as the sky and dragons and snakes rising from the land.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning calmed himself down and returned to his room to read quietly.

The calmer his mind is, the more efficient he is in reading.

The higher the efficiency of the skill of literacy, the higher the growth rate.

As he turned the pages of the book, hints slowly appeared in front of him.

After Lu Yi pushed open the door with the insulated lunch box in her hand, she saw Jiang Ning reading intently, and she immediately tiptoed and stood on tiptoe.

She carefully placed the food box in her hand on the table inside the house.

Then he went to the side, picked up the sandalwood, gently scraped off a layer of sawdust, put the sawdust in the sandalwood burner, compacted it and lit it.

As the green smoke rose up, the house was suddenly filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

This fragrance has a calming effect on the mind.

Another moment passed.

Jiang Ning flipped to the last page and after finishing reading the book in his hand, he put it down.

Seeing this, Lu Yi quickly opened the food box and took out the bowl of meat soup which was still hot.

Seeing this, he shook his head and said, "You don't have to wait here any longer, just go and do your own thing!"

As he spoke, he also took the bowl of meat soup that Lu Yi handed over.

After a few mouthfuls, the palm-sized porcelain bowl was half empty.

Then he took a few more big mouthfuls, and all the meat soup in the bowl went into his stomach.

Luyi took the porcelain bowl handed to her by Jiangning and put it into the food box.

"Sir, I'll leave first."

"Wait!" Jiang Ning said.

When Lu Yi heard this, she stopped walking immediately.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Ning, and saw blood slowly seeping out of Jiang Ning's fingertips, and then condensed into a drop of bright red blood.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi's eyes were suddenly filled with excitement.

She now knew very well that there was magical power in Jiang Ning's blood.

It can strengthen her physical body and greatly help her improve her martial arts.

next moment.

She opened her mouth and slightly closed her eyes, looking like she was waiting to be fed.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

However, with a flick of the fingertip, the drop of blood suddenly flew through the air and into Lu Yi's mouth.

"Okay, you can go and do your own thing now!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Lu Yi's face turned slightly red, and she looked excited.

Wanhua Building.

Lin Qingyi looked at the letter in front of her with a lazy look on her face, and couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.

"This little girl is really persistent. A month later, she even sent a second letter to that boy."

"Forget it, since it's been sent, I'll go to that kid's house later!"

"It just so happens that I haven't seen that kid for a long time. I wonder how much he has grown up to now?"

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyi couldn't help but smile.

In the afternoon.

The sky was still gloomy and heavy snow was falling straight down.

Jiang Ning sat in the house and opened the window.

Although it is snowing heavily now, the temperature is much higher than at the beginning of the year and is far from being as cold as it was then.

He sat in front of the window and kept flipping through the book in his hand.

Improvements are constantly emerging in front of us.

The frequency is much higher than before.

After turning to the last page, he withdrew his gaze from the book and glanced at his own panel.

[Skills]: Reading and spelling (5613 times to break the limit of 6000/) (Features: photographic memory, extraordinary five senses, quick thinking, outstanding understanding, clairvoyance)
"There's still a little over 300 left. Based on my current efficiency, it should be enough by tomorrow!"

Jiang Ning felt a little excited when he thought that he would reap the fruits of his hard work tomorrow.

Breaking the limit of literacy can allow his mental strength to transform again.

And with the support of related features, there hasn't been a single piece of garbage so far.

Each one is very useful.

Especially the clairvoyance gained from breaking the time limit five times.

Although possessing the clairvoyance cannot directly increase his combat power, the auxiliary effect is extremely practical.

His clairvoyance was of great help in his battles.

When combined with his archery skills, the effect is even greater than the sum of its parts.

Thinking of his own archery skills, he couldn't help but recall Bai Luoyu's understanding of him when they talked a few days ago.

Obviously he admired his archery skills very much.

His words also revealed his admiration for his archery skills.

And Xiao Emei's previous understanding of him was mainly based on his archery skills.

Obviously, in the eyes of everyone in Dongling City, his best skill is archery.

"If I have time, I can make a breakthrough in my archery skills!"

As the thought arose in his mind, Jiang Ning picked up the tea next to him and gently blew away the tea crumbs on it, then took a sip and couldn't help but frowned.

"Sure enough, the tea I brew is very different from the one brewed by Lv Yi."

He put down the teacup in his hand and admired the snow scene outside the window.

It was a quiet, windless afternoon, with heavy snow falling steadily. You could hear the rustling sound of snowflakes landing on the snow.

Sometimes there is the sound of snow pressing down on the branches and falling to the ground.

Admired the view outside the window for a moment.

He picked up another book.

When he was about to flip through it, he couldn't help but look up and gazed towards the gate of the mansion.

"How can there be visitors in this weather? Who could it be?"

As the thought came to his mind, he put his right index and middle fingers together, closed his eyes, and wiped his forehead.

In an instant.

The third eye between his eyebrows opened, and he instantly saw the scene at the entrance of the mansion.
