Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 755: Progress is rapid!
Inside the thatched hut.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt his blood and qi surging like a tide, his whole body was surging, and there was a faint light flowing under his skin.

"With the nourishment of the essence of the flower, your qi and blood will spontaneously increase in the future!" the old man said to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

He could feel the feedback his body was giving him, and sense the increasing purity of his Qi and blood.

He then turned his gaze to his dantian (lower abdomen).

After four breakthroughs, the inner core had transformed into a golden color.

It contains a vast and ever-flowing pure essence.

"The Flower of Qi, nourished by the spring of true essence, is a golden flower." The thought flashed through his mind.

Then, the golden inner core in the dantian shone brightly, and wisps of golden mist rose from the inner core, which then gathered into golden mist above the dantian.

The fog thickened, turning into clouds.

At this moment, his breath also rapidly faded.

The depletion of Qi not only affects the body's energy, but also causes the complexion to lose its vitality and spirit.

The essence, energy, and spirit of the human body are fundamentally one; although they are independent, they are deeply interconnected.

The constant depletion of true essence brings about the greatest changes: a lack of power and physical weakness. This is completely different from the "sense of life loss" caused by the depletion of qi and blood, but it is equally unbearable.

In the thatched hut.

The old man looked calmly at Jiang Ning, and he saw a faint golden mist rising and dissipating from the pores of Jiang Ning's body.

"The fact that he first condensed the flower of essence indicates that his mastery of true essence is deeper than that of qi and blood!"

at this time.

He sensed that Jiangning's atmosphere had almost plummeted to its lowest point.

He then pointed at the empty space in front of him.

hum!
In an instant, the void trembled, and a torrent of waterfalls, the very essence of the cave, appeared above Jiang Ning's head.

As the torrent of the waterfall plunged down, the atmosphere in Jiangning rapidly returned.

now.

Jiang Ning felt his almost dried-up meridians begin to fill up.

The depleted dantian is also rapidly recovering.

The dull golden inner core also began to glow with golden light.

Just a moment later, the inner core, which had been dim like a lamp, became like a rising sun, its light dazzling and radiant.

His body has returned to its peak condition.

And this moment.

The clouds formed from the golden mist above began to drizzle.

Below, a golden flower slowly unfolds, revealing six petals.

"not enough!!"

Feeling his meridians drying up again and his inner core regaining its dimness, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

next moment.

He then felt the vast and mighty primordial torrent surge into his body once again.

His physical condition returned to its peak in an instant.

The dried-up veins became full again, like countless rivers converging into streams.

Subsequently, Jiangning entered a period of continuous depletion, replenishment, refinement, and sublimation...

Reciprocating cycle.

The six golden flowers in his dantian gradually solidified from their ethereal form.

Time keeps passing.

Streams of celestial energy continuously flowed into Jiang Ning's body, replenishing his energy reserves.

I do not know how long it has been.

A golden flower with six petals slowly rose from above Jiang Ning's head.

As the golden flower appeared, faint golden ripples spread through the void.

"It's done!" The old man smiled faintly upon seeing this.

In the blink of an eye.

Beside the crimson flower appeared another flower of the same size, its entire body gleaming with golden light, as if forged from pure gold, yet shimmering with a lively aura.

The flowers swayed, scattering a faint golden glow.

At this moment, the golden inner core within Jiang Ning's dantian suddenly trembled, emitting a more refined and pure light than before. The speed of his true essence recovery increased dramatically, and his interaction with heaven and earth became smoother and more natural.

Done! !
Jiang Ning also opened his eyes, a slight look of joy on his face.

The three flowers have gathered at the top, and two of them are now complete.

He had never expected the process to go so smoothly.

"Thank you, Lord!" He looked into the old man's eyes, then stood up, cupped his hands in thanks, and expressed his gratitude.

He knew that his success was due to the help he received from the old man in front of him.

The repeated influx of the primordial energy from the cave heaven replenished his energy reserves instantly.

That's why he was able to get to this point so smoothly.

The three flowers gathered at the top, and now two flowers have formed.

"Do you need to rest?" the old man asked.

“No need!” Jiang Ning shook his head, his gaze resolute: “I am in excellent condition now, so I can take this opportunity to condense the final Divine Flower and complete the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.”

"Never be too hasty in anything!" The old man shook his head and continued, "You have been in seclusion for three days in a row! Although your physical condition has been replenished by the source of the cave heaven, it is still at its peak! But the string in your heart is too taut. You need to rest and relax. Even just catching your breath will make you feel much better!"

"Then I'll do as the Lord says!" Jiang Ning bowed respectfully.

"Sit down! Have some tea!" the old man said.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning replied.

Then take two steps forward and sit down.

Then pick up the boiling teapot on the stove and point the spout at the teacup in front of you.

Gurgling gurgling——

As the tea was poured in, steam rose like mist, blurring their vision.

"Are there any surplus of Qi flowers?" the old man asked.

"Not many left!" Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "At most, we can open seven more!"

The old man nodded: "That's not bad! It means that your overall vital energy is still relatively balanced! Normally, you only need to strengthen your blood and qi to achieve a balance between 'essence' and 'vital energy'!"

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Balancing essence and qi isn't difficult! But without the secret technique bestowed by the Lord of the Manor, achieving balance with the spirit is extremely difficult!"

The words fell.

He picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a small sip.

Then, he felt the abundant vitality of the tea flowing into his body, like a clear spring.

It gently nourishes every part of the body.

Looking at Jiang Ning, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, the old man had a faint smile on his face.

"Your power as a 'god' is extraordinary! Your achievements on the path of immortality may be even greater!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning opened his eyes and nodded: "Someone has told me this before."

"Has your immortal root grown yet?" the old man asked.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Did the Lord of the Manor notice?"

"I can see that!" The old man nodded slightly and then said, "You haven't formally cultivated the path of immortality, yet you've managed to make your immortal roots sprout and grow into seedlings. It seems you also possess great fortune."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and nodded.

Then, changing the subject, he asked, "Lord of the Manor, how many days have passed?"

"It's been three days!" the old man said calmly.

"So long? Only three days?" Jiang Ning was taken aback.

elder:"."

He glanced at Jiang Ning, speechless.

Then, he quietly picked up the tea in front of him and sipped it.

He originally wanted to say something, but for an ordinary genius to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, it would take countless years of arduous cultivation.

If it weren't for him sitting here and activating the essence of the cave, helping Jiang Ning recover, this step alone would have been a huge hurdle.

But considering Jiang Ning's current age and the years he has spent in the martial arts world, he couldn't say anything.

To have reached this point in such a short time, the improvement in strength is measured in days, unlike ordinary people who measure it in years. "Lord, I want to continue!" Jiang Ning said.

"Have half a day's tea with me!" the old man said calmly.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning replied.

He then silently drank his tea.

One cup of tea after another went down my throat.

He could feel the vitality in the tea flowing through his body like silk threads, and the vitality within him surged ever stronger.

Quietly sensing the changes in his body, he suddenly understood why the old man in front of him wanted him to drink tea here for half a day first.

Because of the repeated exploitation and recovery, hidden dangers have already appeared in various parts of the body.

The sublimation of Qi and blood, and the sublimation of true essence, will cause certain damage and harm to the body.

The infusion of the primordial essence of the cave can restore the body and replenish his energy in an instant.

However, with each recurring cycle, the body suffers repeated damage.

Although this damage doesn't affect him for the time being, it is real.

As each sip of tea entered the body.

The abundant vitality contained in the tea was also helping to clear away the hidden dangers within his body.

"Thank you, Lord!" Jiang Ning said again.

"You felt it, didn't you?" the old man asked.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Although this hidden danger may not bother you for the time being, when you want to climb to a higher peak in the future, every abnormality in your body may become a hindrance," the old man said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord!" Jiang Ning said sincerely.

"Keep drinking your tea! If you can drink alcohol, drink more! You can't find tea this good outside." The old man said calmly, then picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning stopped thinking about it and took the opportunity to drink his tea in large gulps.

He hadn't forgotten that drinking these teas could increase his energy points.

This benefit alone is enough to tempt him.

Not to mention the vitality in the tea is so abundant that it can help him address any health issues.

time flies.

An old man and a young boy drank pot after pot of tea until they were empty.

At this moment, the old man looked at Jiang Ning, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He had only taken a few sips of the tea in front of him when Jiang Ning had already drunk two bowls of tea, chewing on the tea leaves that contained a powerful vitality.

Like a cow chewing a peony, he simply chewed it a few times and swallowed it directly as Jiang Ning's throat moved.

Then, the old man looked at the empty teacup Jiang Ning had placed in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.

next moment.

He flicked his finger, and a green leaf, shimmering with a faint glow, slowly fell from three inches above the teacup.

Then it falls to the bottom of the bowl.

"Thank you, Lord!" Jiang Ning said again.

Pick up the boiling teapot in front of you.

Gurgling gurgling——

As boiling water was poured in, the tea in the bowl emitted a faint green glow.

He then took another comfortable sip, his eyes slightly narrowed, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

The warm winter sun shining overhead, combined with the hot tea in his hand, gave him a drowsy feeling.

elder:"."

He looked at Jiang Ning's expression, a faint silence on his face.

After a while.

After brewing the tea a few times, Jiang Ning took a sip of the tea leaf from the teacup, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

He then placed the teacup on the table and looked at the old man in front of him.

"Stop looking! Your health problems have long been resolved!" the old man said.

Jiang Ning clicked his tongue, looking regretful.

“Lord of the Manor, it has only been less than two hours, not even half a day as agreed.”

elder:"."

He glanced at Jiang Ning indifferently, and Jiang Ning immediately stood up.

"The Lord of the Manor is right! My health problems have all disappeared, it's time to continue!"

The old man nodded slightly upon seeing this.

next moment.

Jiang Ning sat cross-legged in the open space of the thatched cottage courtyard.

Two flowers, one red and one gold, floated above his head, their interplay making him appear like a deity.

At this moment, the blood and energy in his body became incredibly active, as if they were boiling over.

An endless stream of power surged forth from within him.

"Only when the second and third flowers converge at the top is this the complete form of this secret technique!" The thought flashed through his mind.

Then his mind returned to clarity, and all distracting thoughts vanished.

"The Flower of God, with the spirit as its fire, ignites the silver flower."

The thought arose again in my mind.

His "god" was already incredibly powerful, having reached the level of a human immortal. Now, his spiritual platform has become perfectly clear, his true self is fully realized, and his spiritual platform is crystal clear.

The purpose of gathering the "Flower of God" is not to replenish or strengthen it, but to compress, purify, and ignite this excessively powerful spiritual force to the extreme, sublimating it into the most brilliant "Flower of God".

This process cannot be aided by external forces; it relies entirely on one's own mental control. A slight misstep could damage the very foundation of one's soul.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and focused all his mind on his spiritual platform.

next moment.

laugh--

Within the spiritual platform, silver flames suddenly ignited out of thin air.

In just a moment, the silvery flames spread to every part of the spiritual platform.

This flame is no ordinary flame; it is the flame of God.

Subsequently, strands of silvery light appeared in the Lingtai space.

These threads all converged towards the center.

From the outside, Jiang Ning did not show any dramatic outward signs.

However, the old man could clearly sense that an invisible lamp was lit between Jiang Ning's eyebrows, its light restrained yet extremely concentrated.

Although his eyes were closed, he could almost see Jiang Ning's eyes sparkling like a starburst, and he could feel the mental fluctuations vibrating at a mysterious frequency.

Time passed little by little.

The red and gold flowers spun slightly above my head, scattering specks of rosy light as if echoing the dramatic changes within my spiritual platform.

a moment.

The old man raised his hand and pointed.

A waterfall of primordial energy appeared above Jiang Ning's head in the void, and then the waterfall cascaded down and poured into Jiang Ning's body.

The silver flames that had been gradually dying out in the spiritual platform seemed to have received external assistance, and at this moment they flickered with bright silver flames again.

as time flows.

Jiang Ning's mental energy was depleted again and again, and replenished again and again.

Through repeated cycles, the first silver petal slowly condensed in his mind.

Upon seeing the first divine flower in his mind, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

The beginning is always the hardest. Once you've achieved this step, you can just follow the steps from here on out.

He made a slight adjustment and allowed the essence of the cave to flow into his body, replenishing his depleted spiritual power.

After a while.

Under his urging, the silver flames in the Lingtai space burned even more fiercely.

Strands of silver light condensed in the void and then converged towards the illusory flower at the center.

As strands of silver light merged in, the silver flower solidified from its ethereal form.

Soon, a second petal formed, followed by a third.
