Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 756 Three Flowers Gather at the Top, the Martial Saint Speaks of the First Grade!
In the Lingtai space.

Silent ripples spread.

As the ripples spread, the silvery flames gradually died down.

All that could be seen was a pitch-black, empty spiritual space.

A silvery-white flower is blooming.

The flower has six petals and is entirely silvery-white. It is like a flower phantom, condensed moonlight or carved from fragments of stars, which quietly emerges.

The Flower of God, complete!
this moment.

The old man in the thatched hut watched as the spiritual fluctuations spreading around Jiang Ning dissipated into calm.

Jiang Ning's aura was restrained and profound, like an abyss.

next moment.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a few more wrinkles.

A silvery-white flower slowly floated up from Jiang Ning's body.

Three feet above their heads, red and gold flowers were already floating.

As the silver flower slowly floated up, the three flowers began to interact and resonate with each other.

hum-

The void shook.

Invisible ripples spread from there.

In an instant.

As the ripples passed, tables, chairs, teacups, and stoves...
All of this caused a great stir.

hum-

Another ripple spread, and those things trembled once more.

Just then, the silver flower rose to three inches above their heads and began to slowly rotate.

As it swayed, specks of silver light scattered down.

As bright and clear as moonlight.

Beside the silver flower are the red and gold flowers.

Three flowers float in a triangular pattern.

At this moment, the three flowers have completed their convergence.

He felt as if the distance between himself and heaven and earth had been shortened, and he could feel the will of this world.

Qi and blood, true essence, and spirit are also constantly rising.

Under the influence of the three flowers, he could feel that the power he could exert was stronger.

Every bit of power is a product of sublimation.

It's like completing a leap, on a completely different level of intensity than before.

"The Three Flowers Secret Technique is indeed extraordinary!" The thought flashed through his mind.

By condensing the three flowers, he not only achieved a sublimation of his essence, energy, and spirit.

At the same time, it can nourish him, making his blood and qi grow stronger, his true essence more powerful, and his spirit more elevated.

When the three flowers gather at the top of the head, one's energy and spirit will surge, resulting in a comprehensive improvement in strength.

It was like a transformation in one's realm.

At this moment, he once again carefully observed the three flowers above his head: red, gold, and silver.

All three are the same size, have the same number of petals, and emit different but harmonious light.

Red flowers represent essence and vitality.

Golden flowers represent Qi (vital energy), the flow of creation.

Silver flowers represent the divine, luminous and immortal.

Between the three flowers, faint red, gold, and silver light flowed and intertwined, forming a perfect and stable energy cycle.

Essence nourishes Qi, Qi in turn nourishes Shen, and Shen illuminates Essence.

Life is ever-flowing, and all things are in harmony.

Inside the thatched hut, the old man watched the three slowly rotating flowers, and looked at Jiang Ning, who looked like a fairy under the flowers. A trace of undisguised admiration and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"good."

He uttered a single word softly, his voice carrying a sense of satisfaction and a complex feeling of relief.

At this moment, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes. The red, gold, and silver light in his eyes appeared like flower petals deep in his pupils, flashing by and finally returning to a clear and calm state.

He felt an unprecedented sense of harmony and power within his body, and the "completeness" and "control" brought about by the unification of essence, energy, and spirit.

At this moment, as his thoughts flowed, the three flowers on his head merged into his body.

The silver flower sank into the mind.

The crimson flower sank into the internal organs.

The golden flower sank into the dantian.

He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to the old man in the thatched hut once again.

This time, I express my gratitude to those who spread the Dharma and protect it.

"I accept your bow!" The old man nodded, then asked, "Do you know what Hunyuan is?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I only know a little bit about it."

"Come sit down, and I'll tell you something!" The old man spoke calmly, as if he wanted to have a casual chat.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning felt a chill run down his spine, then sat down in front of the old man.

"Pour your own tea!" the old man said.

Looking at the emerald green tea leaves in his teacup, Jiang Ning felt a slight joy, and then picked up the boiling teapot on the stove.

Gurgling gurgling——

As boiling water is poured in, the green leaves in the teacup swirl around like a small boat in the bowl.

The originally clear and transparent tea water now seemed to have taken on a green tinge.

"Do you know the realm of the first rank?" the old man asked again.

"First, we'll create chaos, then we'll unite!" Jiang Ning said.

The old man nodded: "Yes, and no!"

"Please enlighten me, Lord!" Jiang Ning said.

"The primordial unity is not a matter of precedence," the old man said.

Then he took a sip of tea, as if to moisten his throat, and said, "Hun Yuan is a state, where essence, energy, and spirit reach a balance, merge and become one, forming a self-circulating cycle, becoming a microcosm!"

At this point, the old man paused again, and then said, "Therefore, there is another name for it: domain."

“Domain?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Yes!” The old man nodded: “A domain can also be a field.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning seemed to understand and nodded.

"To reach the first rank, you need time, you need to maintain a balance of essence, energy, and spirit, and let them blend together, little by little, so that your body can become an independent little world, forming your own domain." The old man took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Then he continued, "Now that you have completed the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, thanks to the profound mystery of the Three Flowers, this step can be done a hundred or eighty times faster than for ordinary people."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Ning, his gaze seeming to scrutinize and appraise.

"With six pieces of the Three Flowers technique on your body, a month should be enough for you to enter the first-grade Hunyuan realm."

"With the Lord's words, I am relieved!" Jiang Ning smiled faintly.

The old man nodded, raised his hand and waved, and a white bead flew to Jiang Ning's front.

"What is this?" Jiang Ning looked at the beads in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Place this rosary between your eyebrows and guide it with your mind. It contains my views and understanding of the first grade, as well as some tips," the old man said calmly.

The words fell.

I picked up the teacup in front of me and took a small sip.

"Thank you, Lord of the Manor!" Jiang Ning bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He then took the prayer beads that were hanging in front of him.

There is no doubt about it.

Because he knew that the powerful figure in front of him, who had dominated the world for over eight hundred years, harbored no ill will towards him.

He placed the rosary between his eyebrows and then, following the old man's instructions, used his spirit to guide it.

In an instant.

A flood of information rushed into his mind.

At this moment, the silvery-white divine flower swayed gently, scattering specks of silver light within the spiritual platform.

His mind was clear, and he easily sorted through the seemingly complicated and chaotic information.

After a cup of tea.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear.

"How is it?" the old man asked Jiang Ning, sipping his scalding hot tea.

“I already have a clear path in my mind,” Jiang Ning said.

"That's good!" The old man nodded with a smile.

Then he waved his hand, as if to shoo the guest away: "In that case, you can leave now!"

"Farewell!" Jiang Ning stood up, cupped his hands in thanks to the old man.

After a while.

On an unnamed mountain peak.

As a ripple spread, a man slowly appeared. Jiang Ning looked up at the sky above.

Even though he had just come out of the cave world and knew that this place was the entrance to that cave world, he still couldn't see where the entrance to the cave world was.

He shook his head.

With a swift movement, it vanished as a blur.

At that moment, his speed was like a rainbow streaking through the sky.

Although it was fast, it couldn't cause the slightest ripple.

Another moment passed.

In the distance, the city walls of the capital resembled a coiled black dragon.

Jiang Ning then landed on an unnamed hilltop.

He glanced at the distant silhouette of the capital city walls before slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

After spending several days in the thatched hut, he had many thoughts on his mind.

They especially wanted to see if the injection of the Cave Heaven's Origin would lead to an increase in Energy Points.

For him, Energy Points are the most important resource right now, without exception.

But in front of that person, he dared not attempt such a small act.

Because he knew very well that with that person's power, he had a profound understanding of things.

Some of your little actions are easily caught by that person's eyes, which can then lead to unnecessary speculation and suspicion.

After all, only he himself can see the panel.

However, when looking at the panel, one's gaze inevitably shifts.

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he looked at his control panel.

[Source Energy]: 467783
Upon seeing the energy source, his pupils constricted slightly.

"Just as I thought!" He was filled with joy.

Putting everything else aside, the mere increase of over 100,000 energy points made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Not to mention, in just a few days, they achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

With the help of the three flowers of "essence", "qi" and "spirit", he can now naturally enter the first-grade Hunyuan realm.

Based on the judgment of that person just now, and his current understanding of the first rank, he should be able to enter the first rank Hunyuan realm in a month at most.

It was only just past the New Year, and spring had not yet arrived.

Thinking about this made him feel a little more relaxed.

Upon entering the first level of Hunyuan, one's body becomes a world unto itself.

Their strength has risen again.

With his other skills, he was confident enough to challenge those veteran experts among the top-tier warriors.

As for the likes of Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, he was even more confident that he would not be at a disadvantage, and might even be able to defeat them.

As for Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, he had fought head-on with a Yuan Shen level expert. He was a powerful figure who had achieved a unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and thus developed divine power.

He is an absolute master among the peak of first-grade martial arts.

Such powerful individuals are at the very top of the pyramid, standing tall throughout the world.

With this strength, he would have a certain degree of confidence even when facing powerful figures in the cave.

As far as he knew, there weren't that many powerful individuals in the cave world.

The Yang Shen and similar beings represent the high-end combat power within the cave world.

As for the Nascent Soul experts who are comparable to immortals in terms of realm, they are like pillars of strength in the grotto-heaven world.

Just like Xia Xuanyan, as the head of the Xia family in the Xuanhuang Great Cave Heaven, he is a powerhouse of this level, a primordial spirit powerhouse comparable to an immortal.

Using the primordial spirit as a guide, a world of its own is formed.

At this moment, having just digested the information given to him by the Martial Saint, he also understood.

The first-grade Hunyuan is also a world unto itself.

However, it is based on the human body and forms its own little world.

From then on, the essence, energy, and spirit circulate on their own, endlessly generating new life and inexhaustible kinetic energy.

"One month from now, I will be able to enter the first-grade Hunyuan Realm!" he thought to himself.

Then, with a swift movement, he vanished in an instant, leaving only a blur.

It only lasted for a moment.

He landed at the city gate of the capital.

Upon landing, although the speed was several times that of breaking the sound barrier, it did not cause the slightest disturbance.

It was still early morning, but with the year-end approaching, winter had already begun.

Outside the city, the land was still covered in white snow.

But the snow had long since stopped.

The rising sun cast its rays onto the snow, which reflected off the black city walls, giving them a bright golden sheen.

"Lord Marquis!" Upon seeing Jiang Ning's appearance, a sharp-eyed city guard immediately recognized Jiang Ning's identity and bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities!" Jiang Ning waved his hand. "I'm going into the city!"

"My lord, please!" The soldiers quickly made way for him.

After taking just two steps forward, Jiang Ning stopped again.

How many days are left until the end of the year?

"Reporting to Your Excellency, there are exactly fifteen days left!" A quick-witted city guard immediately replied.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning said.

He then tossed it into the air, and a bright silver ingot landed in the soldier's hand.

The next moment, he moved swiftly, disappearing from the soldiers' sight like a ghost.

"Thank you, Your Excellency—"

The soldier guarding the city then slowly spoke through the city gate with a joyful voice.

the other side.

Jiang Ning stopped in front of a shop that had just opened.

Wuxiangzhai.

The signboard above the shop bears three gilded characters.

"He's still too concerned about saving face!" He shook his head as he thought of the silver ingot he had just thrown out.

Five taels of silver, calculated based on actual purchasing power.

It's equivalent to the purchasing power of five thousand dollars in your previous life.

In his previous life, he would never have done such a thing.

But now he is the Marquis of Xia.

Thinking of this, he shook his head again.

Then I walked toward Wuxiangzhai.

A moment later, he came out of Wuxiangzhai carrying several packaged desserts.

Imperial Prefecture.

dong dong dong-

He gently knocked on the door of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

The sound traveled far due to the vibration of the gate.

Just a little while.

"Who is it?" A girl's clear and crisp voice came from behind the door, which was quite pleasant to hear.

"Me!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

"It's Lord Marquis!" The girl at the door immediately recognized Jiang Ning's voice, her voice filled with surprise.

Then a series of rapid footsteps sounded from the doorway, getting closer and closer.

Boom——

With a creak, the heavy gates of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, sealed for several days, slowly opened.

A pretty, oval face came into Jiang Ning's view.

The girl wore a light blue cotton dress with thick fur visible at the neckline, and her small face was red from the cold.

"My lord, it really is you!" Qinghe said with a joyful expression.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and placed a bundle of desserts wrapped in oil paper in front of Qing He.

"Lotus cake!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!!" Qinghe immediately smiled, her eyes curving slightly and her eyelashes fluttering.

She immediately took the lotus cake from Jiang Ning, then held it to her nose and took a deep breath.

"It smells so good! This is my favorite lotus cake! How did you know, Your Excellency!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled and gently tapped her forehead.

The girl's emotional value was very high.

But he knew it was probably just polite talk.

He had just bought some desserts from Wuxiangzhai as a small gift.

He didn't know whether Qinghe liked lotus cake or not, and he had never seen it or had any related memories.
