Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Wanhua Building.

VIP room.

The lights are bright, an orange-yellow color.

"Master Shen, long time no see!" Jiang Ning greeted him.

"Yeah! Long time no see!" Shen Congyun looked at Jiang Ning with some sorrow in his eyes.

He had a lot on his mind at this moment.

He also couldn't have imagined that Jiang Ning, whom he had high hopes for that day, would perform so well later on, to the point where he couldn't believe it.

Jiang Ning's impressive performance also made him quite proud.

With his unique vision, he discovered the number one genius in Luoshui County at a glance.

Afterwards, Shen Congyun calmed himself down.

"I am no longer the owner of this building. I am now the deacon supervisor here!"

"Is this because of me?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Don't think too much!" Shen Congyun smiled and shook his head: "For me, this is not a demotion, but a promotion!"

Then he continued: "In the capital city, I can enjoy more resources and many conveniences, and my martial arts journey will be smoother and I can go further."

"That's good!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "I am not the commander anymore!"

"Not the commander?" Shen Congyun was stunned: "Did you get demoted?"

Jiang Ning smiled when he heard this: "I was not demoted, but promoted! Now I am the inspector of Dongling County!"

"The inspector of Dongling County?!" Shen Congyun sighed immediately: "A dragon lurks in the abyss. Once it soars, its momentum will be unstoppable!"

at the same time.

The gray-haired old man who was appraising Jiang Ning's treasure nearby paused when he heard the conversation between the two.

A county inspector.

He naturally knew what it represented.

Especially when they are so young, the significance is even greater.

Being young means greater achievements in the future.

The future holds endless possibilities.

He then became more serious about the work at hand.

aside.

Shen Congyun continued, "Just now I wanted to ask you how you came to Guangning City, but now I understand!"

"Shen Wenyuan is the head of the Inspection House. You should come to Guangning City to report on your work!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Brother Shen is right!"

He tacitly did not mention the identities of Shen Wenyuan and Shen Congyun.

Because he knew that people like Shen Congyun must be proud in their hearts.

At the same time, Shen Congyun burst into laughter when he heard Jiang Ning's words.

"You call me that. I feel like I'm a dozen years younger!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

Shen Congyun said: "Master Jiang, please take a seat first! Sit down and talk!"

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Brother Shen, calling me that is really embarrassing!"

"This is the rule of the building! You are a distinguished guest, and I am the steward! You must not violate it!" Shen Congyun said seriously.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning was silent for a few breaths, then shook his head.

"Then Brother Shen, please just call me by my official title!"

"Okay!" Shen Congyun nodded and said, "Inspector Jiang, please sit down and talk first!"

The two sat down immediately.

Shen Congyun looked at the actions of the gray-haired old man beside him, and continued speaking.

"Envoy Jiang wants to send these treasures for auction, right?"

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded and continued, "I just don't know if these things are good enough!"

"Qualified! Qualified!!" After hearing Jiang Ning's words, the old man in gray quickly took over the conversation.

Then he said respectfully to Jiang Ning and Shen Congyun.

"Master Jiang, Deacon Shen, I can roughly determine the value of these treasures! If there are any errors later, please add a few words, Master Jiang!"

Hear these words.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Shen Congyun said: "Mr. Qian, please introduce them to me!"

"Yes, Deacon Shen!" The gray-haired old man named Qian Lao did not dare to be arrogant in front of Shen Congyun, because he also knew what kind of relationship there was between the newly appointed Shen Wenyuan and Shen Congyun.

Subsequently.

The gray-haired old man picked up the blood jade that Jiang Ning had placed on the table, and began to introduce it.

"I believe Deacon Shen has also heard of this thing, it's called Blood Jade!"

"It is said that this thing is the place where a powerful life form fell in ancient times. Its blood flowed into the earth, and then blood jade was nurtured deep in the earth."

"The effect of this kind of precious jade is also very special. Wearing it close to your body for a long time and absorbing its escaping aura can increase your qi and blood over a long period of time."

"It can be passed down to future generations as a family heirloom!"

"For rare items like these, the price is mainly determined by purity and size."

"This thing is the size of a palm and is of extremely high purity. It is a real treasure and is very expensive!"

Having said that, the gray-haired old man looked at Jiang Ning again and continued.

"I suggest that the starting price for this item be one thousand gold. I wonder if Lord Jiang would agree?"

"No problem!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

"Write it down!" said the old man in gray to the maid beside him.

The maid nodded repeatedly, and with her left hand's slender jade fingers lifted the long sleeves hanging from her right wrist. With her right hand's slender fingers, she pinched the wolf-hair brush, and immediately dipped the brush in ink and quickly left a line of words on the white paper.

The gray-haired old man put the blood jade in his hand aside.

Then he picked up the two purple swords on the table.

Clang——

The sword was unsheathed, and a clear sword sound rang out and echoed in the room.

"This sword was forged with superb skills. It is mixed with a special ore called Thunder Sound Stone. After it is forged successfully, place the sword in a thunderstorm."

"Because the Thunder Sound Stone is extremely special and has the effect of attracting thunder, this sword must have been repeatedly baptized by thunder and tempered by heavenly thunder."

"The sword contains a special aura of the utmost righteousness and yang, and it may even have lightning patterns formed inside it."

“The value is equally extraordinary!”

"A single sword can be priced at one hundred gold."

The words fell.

brush--

The gray-haired old man pointed the tip of the sword at the scabbard, then threw the sword with force and sheathed it.

He picked up another green sword.

After some introduction.

He looked at Jiang Ning and said, "These two swords are a natural pair. If they are auctioned together, three hundred gold is not too much!"

"I believe there are many young lovers in the sect, especially the female disciples, who love these two swords with special meanings!"

Hear these words.

Jiang Ning immediately nodded approvingly.

I instantly felt that this gray-haired old man had a lot of business acumen.

Just as he said, many sect disciples love these two swords with special meanings.

Women, by nature, love this kind of tune.

And many men are willing to be such a sucker in order to make their women happy.

And with this special additional attribute, and with the instigation of women, it is easy for competitors to get carried away.

At an auction, once the price goes up, the final transaction price will inevitably be far higher than the actual value.

"Just do as Mr. Qian said!" Jiang Ning gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing Jiang Ning's reply, the maid beside him immediately waved the wolf-hair brush in her hand and left a line of words on the white paper.

Subsequently.

The old man in gray picked up the tiger bone on the table again.

This piece of tiger bone was given to him by Hong Minghu and is very valuable.

And Hong Minghu also bought it at an auction.

This tiger bone contains special divine patterns, which embody the rules and principles of heaven and earth.

It is a method of using internal energy at the technical level.

This thing has long been useless to him.

Today he simply exchanged this thing for some wealth.

"This should be a tiger bone with divine patterns, right? If one can fully understand the divine patterns contained within it, one's internal energy can be greatly improved in terms of skill level, and one can unleash some amazing killing moves?"

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then raise your right hand.

The inner elixir in the dantian moved, and the true energy manifested in his hands, instantly transforming into a tiger, a tiger with great charm.

Like an ink painting, although it seems incomplete and not detailed, it is full of the charm of a tiger and the aura of the king of beasts, majestic without even being angry.

At the same time, it was filled with a violent and murderous aura.

The room was filled with evil spirits, and several people were suddenly terrified. Shen Congyun's eyes also changed when he looked at Jiang Ning.

Just by feeling this aura, he knew that Jiang Ning now possessed the strength to completely crush him.

This feeling goes as quickly as it comes.

As the strange vision in Jiang Ning's hand disappeared, the feeling in the hearts of several people disappeared instantly.

"That's probably it!" Jiang Ning said.

The gray-haired old man calmed himself down.

He nodded slowly, and then said: "Master Jiang, this item has a terrifying power in your hands, but it is difficult to make a final judgment in our hands. I need your authorization to test its consumption later, so that I can set a suitable price."

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

At last.

The gray-haired old man picked up the two books on the table that contained the martial arts techniques.

Four large characters were clearly displayed on the first pages of the two martial arts books.

Picking up the two books of martial arts, the gray-haired old man looked at Jiang Ning with a look of hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

See this.

Shen Congyun on the side couldn't help but look over.

When he saw the eight words [Blue Wave Sword Technique] and [Heart Sutra of Cutting Desires], his heart couldn't help but move.

The death of Xiao Qiu Shui, the Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace in Dongling County, has now spread far and wide.

It sparked a heated debate.

Because Xiao Qiu Shui is a newly promoted third-grade celestial master in Dongling County.

He is also the only strong man in Dongling County who has achieved such an achievement in recent years.

When the Grandmaster Banquet was held, Xiao Qiu Shui was the most popular person at that time, and many Grandmasters attended the banquet.

There also appeared Li Sixiang, the deputy leader of the Duxian Sect who had just been promoted to the second-grade grandmaster.

But then came news that shocked countless people.

Xiao Qiu Shui is dead.

He died on the night of the Grand Master's Banquet.

Died in Shuiyue Sword Palace.

After hearing this explosive news, countless people talked about it and made various speculations.

Some people said that Ye Zhengqi returned that night and killed Xiao Qiu Shui.

Because with Xiao Qiu Shui's strength, there are not many people who can kill her, and among the people present that day, Ye Zhengqi is one of them.

Some people also said that the person who took action was Li Sixiang, the deputy leader of the Duxian Sect.

The purpose of killing Xiao Qiu Shui was to frame the government, so that Duxianmen could take this opportunity to take the position of leader of all the sects in Guangning Prefecture and command all the sect forces in Guangning Prefecture.

There are many different opinions and speculations, which makes it even more difficult to make sense of the matter.

At this moment, when Shen Congyun saw the two books of martial arts, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning.

Because these two books of skills are exactly the top two skills of Shuiyuejiang Palace.

【Blue Wave Sword Duel】

【Heart Sutra for Cutting Desires】

Especially the former, the Green Wave Sword Technique, is Xiao Qiu Shui's famous martial art.

"Master Jiang, these two martial arts are both complete and superior martial arts, especially the Jade Wave Sword Technique, which is even more extraordinary. It is the superior martial arts sword technique practiced by the successive palace masters of the Water Moon Sword Palace. This sword technique is priced at one thousand gold. I wonder if Master can accept it?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Hearing this, the gray-haired old man picked up the [Heart Sutra of Cutting Desires] again.

"This technique is also extraordinary and is also a superior martial art."

"According to the records in the book, this is a special practice method to strengthen one's spiritual power."

"The point is to cut off lust and achieve a transcendent state of mind."

"Without lust, there will be no distracting thoughts in people's minds, they will not be disturbed by desires, and they will see their true nature."

"If you maintain this state for a long time, you can strengthen your mental strength, perceive and capture your own soul, and hopefully achieve the state of harmony between heaven and man, and comprehend the state of unity between heaven and man."

Hearing the gray-haired old man's description of the Desire-Severing Heart Sutra, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

See Jiang Ning’s expression.

The gray-haired old man said, "The price of the Desire-Slaying Heart Sutra is eight hundred gold coins. Is your Excellency willing to accept it?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded again.

He had no problem with the pricing.

This is just the starting price, not the final price.

But the starting price is equally important.

Because according to the rules of Wanhua Building, if the auction eventually fails.

Wanhualou will buy all the items you send for auction at a low price.

So the starting price is very important.

Think of this.

Jiang Ning's mind moved slightly.

The blood jade is worth one thousand gold, the purple and green swords are worth three hundred gold, the Jade Wave Sword Sutra is worth one thousand gold, and the Desire-Slaying Heart Sutra is worth eight hundred gold.

The total value of these four items at a low price was equivalent to 3,100 gold in the past, not including the value of the tiger bone.

Thinking of this, he nodded secretly in his heart.

“Not bad! Not bad!!”

"This way, it will be enough to solve my short-term resource needs, and I will also have the financial resources to bid for what I want!"

next moment.

Jiang Ning took out the thousand gold notes that Wang Qingtan had given him before.

"Brother Shen, I need this thousand gold to buy blood ginseng. I need to buy all of it. The older the better!"

Looking at the thousand gold notes on the table, Shen Congyun was slightly surprised.

One thousand gold.

This is not a small number.

But when he thought of Jiang Ning's current identity, he felt it was reasonable.

A county governor would naturally have the financial resources to do so if he wanted to.

He immediately grabbed the gold bills that Jiang Ning had placed on the table and then stood up.

"Okay! Patrol Officer Jiang can just wait for me here!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ning responded.

Then Shen Congyun walked out of the VIP room.

It takes less than a cup of tea.

He came back again.

Two maids followed behind him.

Both maids were holding trays.

The tray is covered with a red cloth to block the view.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning immediately stood up.

In front of Shen Congyun, he didn't want to put on airs.

"Inspector Jiang, here are the blood ginsengs you requested. There are three in total, one is 300 years old, and two are 500 years old."

"Five hundred years old, the normal price is five hundred gold coins for one stick. Now three sticks total one thousand gold coins. I wonder if Inspector Jiang will accept it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded.

"Of course I can accept that!"

He now trusts Shen Congyun very much.

Shen Congyun was able to help me in this way in the past, so why would he cheat me over such trivial matters now?

Therefore, this matter is bound to be low and not high.

If someone else came, the money needed to buy these three blood ginsengs would definitely be much more.

But he also felt a little regretful in his heart.

The thousand-year-old blood ginseng found in the treasury of Shuiyue Sword Palace that day brought him great help.

It also had a great growth effect on his source energy points, bringing him nearly 20,000 source energy points.

Now it seems that even if he spends a fortune, he cannot buy a thousand-year-old blood ginseng.

From this point, he also saw how precious and rare the thousand-year-old blood ginseng was.

"This is Inspector Jiang's invitation to the auction!" Shen Congyun opened another tray, picked up an invitation on the tray and handed it to Jiang Ning.

As soon as Jiang Ning saw the colors and patterns on the invitation, he knew it was different.

The invitation card that he had bought for ten gold coins had silver lines on its surface.

But at this moment, this kind of invitation has purple and gold patterns.

Obviously, the invitations are different and the dignity they represent is also different.

See Jiang Ning accept the invitation.

Shen Congyun continued, "Patrol Envoy Jiang is now a VIP guest. With this invitation, he can enter the first row of the auction."

"There are corresponding seat numbers on the post, and Patrol Envoy Jiang can take a seat according to the number."

"At the same time, this is the token that Envoy Jiang will bid for when the time comes."

As he spoke, Shen Congyun handed over a few purple knife coins from the tray.

A total of four purple knife coins.

"Inspector Jiang, one knife coin represents a bidding amount of one thousand gold. Please keep it!"

Jiang Ning understood and put it away. (End of this chapter)
