Returning home!
Jiang Ning grinned subtly.
He closed the panel and set off immediately.
He had lingered outside for two days; now it was time to return.
As for the use of Source Energy Points, he wasnāt in a hurry.
Without acquiring the Grandmasterās Magic Gate, the path beyond Grandmaster was still unfamiliar to him.
He didnāt understand activating the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism through Sword Intent, so it wasnāt suitable to rashly let the Chopping Wood Blade Skill Break Limit now.
Calculating the time, itās just been a few days, almost there.
Shen Wenyan was almost on duty.
His D-level Great Success should be disbursed soon.
With the exchange privileges of D-level Great Success, he could obtain the Grandmasterās Blood Exchange Method he desired.
Everything must wait until he acquires the Grandmasterās Blood Exchange Method, understands the road ahead, and then makes a choice.
Then, with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared on the spot.
...
Dongling City.
When Jiang Ning saw the towering city walls ahead, and the three words "Dongling City" above the city gate.
It was already past noon, the sun gradually inclined west.
"Finally home!" Jiang Ning looked at the city walls ahead, and couldnāt help but show a faint smile.
Then, he quickly walked towards the city gate.
"I wonder if Master Zhao is back?" The thought flashed in his mind.
A moment later.
Bang bang bangā
Jiang Ning knocked on his own door, then stood quietly in place.
"Coming!" A gentle voice echoed from behind the door.
The next moment.
Footsteps approached from afar, appearing behind the door.
Clunk!
As the door bolt fell.
The door slowly opened.
"Ah Ning?" Liuu Wanwan looked at Jiang Ning behind the door, her eyes instantly brightened.
Then she looked at Jiang Ningās messy hair, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.
"Come in quickly! Youāre finally home! These days, Little Dumpling has been calling out to find uncle every day, thinking about you all the time!"
Hearing Liuu Wanwan mention Little Dumpling.
Jiang Ning couldnāt help but display a gentle smile.
"Then Iāll go and spend some time with Little Dumpling later!" As he spoke, Jiang Ning crossed the threshold, chatting casually as usual.
"Sheāll definitely be very happy!" Liuu Wanwan showed a gentle expression.
After Jiang Ning crossed the threshold and entered the front courtyard, she then closed the residenceās door.
"By the way, sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning spoke.
"Whatās up?" Liuu Wanwan said while closing the door again.
"Why not hire some servants?" Jiang Ning suggested.
"No need!" Liuu Wanwan shook her head, closed the door again, and continued: "Living with outsiders is always a bit uncomfortable! We donāt frequently leave and enter the gate usually, so keeping it closed is fine!"
"Alright then!" Jiang Ning nodded: "Letās do as sister-in-law says."
Then, he added: "By the way, where is brother?"
"Him!" Liuu Wanwan mentioned Jiang Li, her eyes showing a gentle gaze, then she said teasingly: "He said heās been at home so long heās almost rusting, so he went out to wander and coincidentally buy some daily necessities."
Jiang Ning nodded: "Then Iāll go find him when he returns!"
"Sure!" Liuu Wanwan agreed: "Iāll tell him when he comes back!"
Liuu Wanwan didnāt ask much.
Later.
Jiang Ning looked at the figure appearing in the front courtyard.
The slender Lv Yi.
"Master!" Lv Yi greeted as she noticed Jiang Ningās gaze.
"During these days, has anyone looked for me or have any of my letters arrived?" Jiang Ning inquired.
"Yes!" Lv Yi nodded repeatedly.
Then she continued: "Just this morning, someone from the Inspection Office came, saying you should visit when you have time. Shen Wenyan has already taken office!"
"Shen Wenyan took office?" Jiang Ningās gaze sharpened, then he nodded.
"Iāll go there later!" he continued.
His heart couldnāt help but turn warm.
The visit from the Inspection Office informed him of this news, although it wasnāt explicitly stated, he knew his reward was forthcoming.
With Shen Wenyan on duty, and the disbursement of the D-level Great Success, he could smoothly obtain the Magic Gate to achieve Heavenly Human Grandmaster.
In this way, everything was ready.
He glanced at the panel again.
[Source Energy]: 35433
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Great Success 9069/10000)
Then closed the panel.
The Source Energy Points reached a historical high, with over thirty-five thousand points stored.
The crucial cultivation technique, Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, was less than a thousand experience points away from Perfection.
"Prepare some food for me, and ready some hot water!" Jiang Ning instructed.
"Yes, Master!" Lv Yi responded, hurriedly following Jiang Ningās orders and ran back.
"Ah Ning, should I cook some dishes and heat up some wine for you?" Liuu Wanwan joined the dialogue.
"Thank you, sister!" Jiang Ning replied with a smile.
...
Two hours later.
Jiang Ning had his fill of food and drink, and had a refreshing bath.
Sitting at the table, Lv Yi combed Jiang Ningās long hair.
A moment later.
Jiang Ningās long hair was tightly fastened with a hairband.
"Master, itās done!!" Lv Yi clapped her palms.
Looking at Jiang Ning now, she felt satisfied.
She still remembered seeing Jiang Ning at the front courtyardās gate earlier.
Hair disheveled, unkempt.
But now itās different.
The long hair was tidily bound.
Wearing a brocade robe, Jiang Ning didnāt look like a martial officer at all.
Jiang Ning reached out to grab the small knife fastened with the hairband.
Looking at the reflected image in the bronze mirror, he nodded with satisfaction.
"I need to step out for a while!" Jiang Ning stated.
"Okay, Master, Iāll go collect the quilts!" Lv Yi replied.
...
Inspection Office.
"Greetings, Patrol Envoy!"
When Jiang Ning appeared at the entrance of the Inspection Office, the two martial artists on duty at the gate immediately saluted Jiang Ning.
"Is Master Zhao in the residence?" Jiang Ning asked.
"He is!" One of them replied respectfully, adding: "Would you like me to lead you?"
