Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 709 The Number One on the Heavenly Ranking, Wan Jianyi!

Imperial Prefecture.

this moment.

Looking at the family in front of her, Ji Mingyue secretly gave herself a thumbs up.

"Now we should have captured the Jiangning family, right?"

She felt a little smug.

at this time.

A breeze blew.

Su Qingying appeared on Jiang Ning in a light green dress.

Her long, black hair was loose and hung down to her waist, with droplets of water sliding down the ends.

It was obvious that Su Qingying had just finished taking a bath.

"What a brilliant move!" Jiang Ning was secretly surprised when he saw the water droplets slowly dripping from Su Qingying's hair.

Given the speed at which Su Qingying appeared, at such a high speed, normally there wouldn't be any water droplets remaining between her hair strands; they would be instantly dried by the strong wind.

However, there were many water droplets gathered and dripping from the ends of Su Qingying's hair, a scene that directly defied common sense.

The sophistication of their methods made him feel that they were unfathomable.

“Seventeenth Princess!” Su Qingying said calmly when she saw Ji Mingyue.

"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!" Ji Mingyue looked directly at Su Qingying and gave a slight bow.

"What brings the Seventeenth Princess to my residence?" Su Qingying asked.

"Let me formally meet my brother and sister-in-law, and later take Inspector Jiang to the Lin Yuan meeting at their invitation!" Ji Mingyue said.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Su Qingying looked at Liu Wanwan with a slightly flustered expression.

Before Liu Wanwan could speak, Ji Mingyue smiled faintly and said, "Jiang Xunshi and I have already secretly made a marriage agreement. His brother and sister-in-law are my brother and sister-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying fell into a brief silence.

"Hey, ladies, don't stand! Come in and sit down. Our whole family will be having dinner together later!" Liu Wanwan took the initiative to break the awkward silence.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying swallowed the words that were just about to come out of her mouth.

She glanced at Jiang Ning, then casually touched her stomach.

Jiang Ning was shocked when he saw Su Qingying's action.

Her earlier self-talk came to mind again.

"Could she think I'm bad?" The thought made him feel a sense of danger. His gaze fell on Su Qingying's mouth, and he was ready to step forward and cover it at any moment.

He was afraid that Su Qingying would say something shocking, because he knew beforehand that Su Qingying was completely clueless about matters between men and women.

In Su Qingying's mind, if a man and a woman sleep together, they will get pregnant and have a child.

This is terrifyingly simple for a novice.

Jiang Ning only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Qingying didn't intend to speak.

"Sister-in-law, I can cook, let me help you!" Ji Mingyue volunteered at this moment.

"My sister-in-law, I know how to start a fire!" Su Qingying said somewhat shyly.

"You two ladies, stop fussing! Just sit and rest with Aning, and let you taste my cooking." At this moment, Liu Wanwan looked at Ji Mingyue and Su Qingying, who were vying to open their pheasants, and couldn't stop smiling.

She wasn't stupid; how could she not see that these two girls had a different relationship with Jiang Ning?

Less than half an hour later.

"Come on, try this. This is my specialty, White Jade Pearl Tofu!" Liu Wanwan prepared two bowls of White Jade Tofu with soup, then handed one bowl to Ji Mingyue and Su Qingying, making sure to treat them equally.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue looked at the two extra pieces of tofu in her bowl and couldn't help but smile slightly.

She knew that this was the effect of the gift she had just given.

There was more tofu in her bowl than in Su Qingying's bowl, clearly indicating that her sister-in-law favored her more.

At that moment, Jiang Ning buried his head in his noodles and ate them voraciously.

It has been a month since I last tasted Liu Wanwan's cooking.

After dinner.

Ji Mingyue rubbed her belly, looking completely satisfied.

"My sister-in-law's cooking is so good. I wonder if I will have the chance to keep enjoying her cooking in the future."

"Of course!" Liu Wanwan smiled and said, "Yueyue, come whenever you have time. Just tell your sister-in-law what you want to eat, and she'll definitely make it for you!"

"Once you marry Aning, you can eat it every day!"

Hear these words.

Ji Mingyue looked at Jiang Ning, her eyes sparkling: "I also want this day to come soon."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying silently put down her chopsticks.

She glanced at Jiang Ning, as if she had thought of something, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Seventeenth Princess, it's almost time, we should set off!" Jiang Ning stood up.

“Okay!” Ji Mingyue then stood up.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please eat slowly!" Ji Mingyue said with a smile.

"Take care, Auntie!!" Little Bean put down his little spoon and raised his hands high.

"Okay, little bean bun!" Ji Mingyue said with a smile.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go see them off!" Su Qingying also got up.

"Okay!" Liu Wanwan looked at Su Qingying, nodded, and then added, "Remember to bring it over and come back to eat some!"

“Okay, sister-in-law!” Su Qingying nodded.

Lin Yuan Pavilion.

“It’s right ahead!” Ji Mingyue and Jiang Ning stood on the long street, pointing to the two-story pavilion in front of them.

"I can't wait any longer!" Jiang Ning rubbed his hands together, glancing at his control panel.

After spending 40,000 Source Energy Points to break through the limits of the Two Elements Sword and the Seven Star Demon Subduing Sword, the Source Energy Points were reduced to less than 140,000.

Such a rapid reduction made him feel insecure.

Further breakthroughs in cultivation techniques will only require more energy points.

He needs to replenish what he has consumed today.

The Lin Yuan Small Gathering is convened by the princes as hosts, and there will certainly be plenty of spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, and other such items.

These can all contribute to the increase of his energy points.

There's also roasted monster meat.

With his current digestive abilities, he can eat as much food as he wants.

He had already prepared himself mentally on the way.

Others might feel embarrassed to eat freely, but he wasn't so concerned about saving face.

What you put into your mouth is what truly benefits you.

As for social interaction, he didn't think it was important.

After a while.

At the entrance of Lin Yuan Pavilion.

"Eighth Brother, why aren't you going in yet?" Ji Mingyuan asked with a smile when he saw Ji Minghao still standing at the door.

"Fifth Brother, go in first! I'm waiting for someone!" Ji Minghao said calmly.

"Oh? Which prodigy is it that makes Eighth Brother stand at the door in the cold wind waiting for you?" Ji Mingyuan still had a smile on his face.

"They're here!" Just then, Ji Minghao smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyuan looked ahead.

His eyes narrowed slightly involuntarily.

"It's indeed him!!"

now.

Ji Mingyue walked over, arm in arm with Jiang Ning.

Walking next to Jiang Ning, she looked somewhat petite and delicate because she was a head shorter than him.

Upon seeing the two of them, Ji Mingyuan walked over with his usual smile on his face.

"Little Seventeen!" Fifth Prince Ji Mingyuan greeted him first.

“Little Seventeen!” Ji Minghao also spoke up.

"Greetings, brothers!" Ji Mingyue smiled gently.

"Greetings, Fifth Prince; greetings, Eighth Prince!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"Brother Jiang, you're too kind!" Ji Minghao said with a smile, then gestured for him to come in.

"Am I late?" Jiang Ning asked.

"No! No!" Ji Minghao shook his head: "It's not even 7 PM yet." As he spoke, the group walked towards Lin Yuan Pavilion.

"Fifth Brother, shall we come together?" Ji Minghao stopped again and invited the Fifth Prince, Ji Mingyuan.

"No, I'm waiting for someone else too!" Ji Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Alright! Fifth Brother, please wait here. I'll go in now!" Ji Minghao said with a smile.

Subsequently.

Ji Mingyuan watched the three figures as they walked away, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Looks like the honey trap is still effective!"

Then, Ji Mingyue smiled again.

"However, although he is good, how can he compare to that Sword Pavilion prodigy!"

The thought of successfully defeating Wan Jianyi with that immortal sword filled him with excitement.

Number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

The pinnacle of the world.

the other side.

Inside Lin Yuan Pavilion, the lights were brilliant.

The moment Jiang Ning stepped into Lin Yuan Pavilion, he felt a rich spiritual energy rush towards him.

The surroundings were brightly lit by candlelight, and the hanging glass lamps emitted a soft glow, illuminating the carved beams and painted rafters of the pavilion.

The interior of Lin Yuan Pavilion is extremely spacious, divided into two floors. At this time, many of the capital's elites and young masters from various families have taken their seats, chatting and laughing.

When Ji Minghao and the other two appeared, the first floor of Lin Yuan Pavilion fell silent.

"Could the person beside the Seventeenth Princess be Jiang Ning, the fourth-ranked figure on the Heavenly Ranking?"

"Who else could it be but him? Everyone here knows that the Seventeenth Princess is infatuated with this man, and it was love at first sight, which has infuriated the Emperor."

"I really envy Jiang Ning! To have won the favor of the Seventeenth Princess!"

"."

Conversations and discussions could be heard on the first floor.

"Brother Jiang, this way please." Ji Minghao smiled and gestured for Jiang Ning to go to the second floor of the pavilion.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, but his gaze swept over the spiritual fruits and wines displayed around him, as well as the various delicacies on the long table in the center.

These are all great items that can provide energy points!
The mere aura emanating from this place makes it incredibly spiritual.

"This is the foundation of the royal family that has ruled the Great Xia for over eight hundred years!" He sighed inwardly, then his heart burned with excitement. It seemed this trip hadn't been in vain.

At this moment, although he was secretly pleased, he did not show it on his face, and calmly followed Ji Minghao and Ji Mingyue up to the pavilion.

The second floor of Lin Yuan Pavilion.

I just climbed up the wooden stairs.

A gentle evening breeze, carrying moisture, swept through the hall.

Next to Lin Yuan Pavilion is Blackwater Abyss.

Deep waters are deep pools.

Blackwater Abyss, on the other hand, is dark in color year-round and over a thousand feet deep; it is the largest reservoir in the entire capital.

The stored water source is said to be inexhaustible, enough to supply the needs of the entire capital city's inhabitants for generations to come.

"Seventeenth Brother, Eighth Brother!" At this moment, a man dressed in a purple python robe walked towards Ji Minghao and his two companions, carrying a wine cup in each hand.

"Third Brother!" Ji Mingyue said.

"Greetings, Third Brother!" Ji Minghao replied in return.

"Is this the Third Prince?" Jiang Ning thought to himself as he looked at the man in front of him, dressed in a purple python robe and with a gentle demeanor. Hearing Ji Mingyue and Ji Minghao address him, Jiang Ning wondered.

"Greetings, Third Prince!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"I had only heard of him before, but never seen him in person. Now that I've met him, the rumors are indeed true. No wonder he was able to capture Little Seventeen's heart in one visit!" the Third Prince said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed a wine cup in front of Jiang Ning.

"How about having a drink with me?"

Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, Jiang Ning immediately sensed the spiritual energy emanating from it.

Jiang Ning accepted the wine cup offered by the Third Prince and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Third Prince."

The wine vessel felt slightly heavy in my hand, and the wine inside was the color of amber, with a thin layer of spiritual mist floating on the surface. Just one whiff of it made me feel my internal energy slightly activated.

He was secretly delighted: "The spiritual energy contained in this spirit wine is probably even more concentrated than that of ordinary spirit fruits!"

A glass of wine down my throat.

"Come, please take a seat!" The Third Prince raised his hand and placed the wine cup in his hand on the tray of the maid beside him.

"This is the influence of the fourth-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking! He received such attention from the Third Prince as soon as he arrived."

"There's no way around it. Although we are all exceptional talents and have a good chance of winning the imperial examinations, this person is a potential champion in this year's martial arts examinations and will have the opportunity to be ennobled in the future. How can the princes not value this person?"

"."

There were whispers around him, but Jiang Ning didn't pay any attention and simply sat down casually.

Ji Mingyue sat obediently beside him, her eyes crinkling with joy, seemingly in a very good mood.

At this moment, the Third Prince glanced at the two of them, then his gaze swept across the entire room, and he clapped his hands.

"Everyone!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it silenced both floors of Lin Yuan Pavilion.

"Today's gathering at Linyuan aims to exchange insights on martial arts and jointly plan for the prosperity of the martial arts of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"You are all outstanding individuals of our time. Please do not be shy. Enjoy the spiritual wine and food to your heart's content and speak freely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

Jiang Ning calmly picked up a spirit fruit and took a bite.

[Source energy +10]

He silently recited the mantra, then picked up another piece of roasted monster meat and chewed it heartily.

[Source energy +5]

[Source energy +7]

【.】

Although his energy points haven't increased yet, he's silently counting them in his mind to motivate himself.

After just a few moments.

Jiang Ning ate two fruit platters, some freshly roasted monster meat, and finished a pot of wine.

"Brother Jiang has a good appetite!" Ji Minghao said, seeing this.

"It's mainly because it tastes good!" Jiang Ning smiled.

I gently rubbed my stomach.

As his Qi and blood circulated, the food he had just eaten was transformed into essence and replenished his body.

Just then, a commotion arose downstairs.

"Wan Jianyi is here!"

"Number one on the Heavenly Ranking, the contemporary leader of Sword Pavilion!"

Everyone turned to look, and Jiang Ning followed their gaze.

At the main entrance on the first floor, a man in white slowly stepped into Lin Yuan Pavilion. He was tall and straight, with a cold and stern face. He carried an ancient longsword on his back. His aura was restrained, yet he gave people a sense of unfathomable depth.

Behind this person were a man and a woman.

The woman is delicate, and her legs are very long.

"It's Senior Sister Li Qing!" Jiang Ning exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the woman behind Wan Jianyi.

He never expected to actually see Li Qing here.

Just then, Ji Minghao's voice rang out from the side.

"Judging from this, it seems that Fifth Brother and Wan Jianyi have a good relationship!" There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Jiang Ning was once again focused on eating the food on the table.

A slight stirring ran through his heart.

He had just noticed that Jiang Ning had been eating ever since he sat down, his mouth never stopping.

Below, the area became quite noisy with the arrival of Wan Jianyi.

Number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

The strongest among the current generation of young people.

He was also the person with the highest chance of becoming the champion in this year's martial arts examination.
