Chapter 967 - 33: Glazed Treasure Body Effects

"From 13:00 to the last moment of the ninth hour, it’s only been a full ten hours, with interruptions for meals and other trivial matters."

"The actual time spent intensely practicing the Vajra Immortal Body, wringing out every minute, is at most nine hours, four and a half periods."

"Yet the Experience Value for the Vajra Immortal Body increased by three thousand points!"

"This defies logic!!"

Jiang Ning reflected on all his activities for the day, puzzled as to why the progress of his Vajra Immortal Body had suddenly accelerated so much.

After a few breaths of contemplation.

A flash of insight suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be because of it, the Glazed Treasure Body?!!

Thinking of this.

The Qi-Blood surged within him.

Amidst the rising steam, a reflection of colorful glazed brilliance emerged immediately.

With the dispersion of steam, he appeared divine at that moment.

"It must be!!"

After activating the Glazed Treasure Body, and reflecting colorful glazed brilliance, he nodded slightly, feeling that his guess was very likely correct.

Recently, his body’s greatest change was fully digesting the Glazed Treasure Flame and forging the Glazed Treasure Body.

Making his body pure and clear, completely transparent.

This change naturally made the progress of the Vajra Immortal Body faster, and it was indeed logical.

Thinking of this point.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.

"Indeed, didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise."

At this moment, he couldn’t help feeling delighted.

The increase in efficiency allowed him to accumulate Experience Value for the Vajra Immortal Body faster.

As for Source Energy Points, he wasn’t lacking at the moment.

He still had considerable resources saved up, as well as five thousand taels of gold given by Wang Qintan.

Along with three hundred taels of gold presented by Bai Hesong and Liang Yong.

With these, he wouldn’t lack money for a while, nor would he be short of Source Energy Points.

After showering, he returned to his room to sleep.

At this moment, he was unaware.

Wang Qintan stood by the window, hesitated for a long time, and sighed deeply after hearing the sounds of him entering his room, before also returning to her bed.

...

The next day.

An opulent entourage rode slowly into Guangning City with the morning sun.

At the front of the entourage were Xuanjia Cavalry, armed and armored, clearing the way.

The cold light glimmered on their iron armor, imposing.

"It’s the Xuanjia Cavalry!!" Someone revealed the identity of this entourage, and people near the city gate urgently retreated to the sides.

Suddenly.

A youth in a white robe stepped out of a carriage and onto the platform, scanning the magnificent buildings around.

"Guangning City, is even more prosperous than Huai’an City!"

"Little Prince, don’t easily reveal yourself in crowded places, beware of assassins!" The stern man driving the carriage advised.

"With you, Wang Jiu, which assassin would dare attack me?" The youth in the white robe laughed.

"Little Prince, don’t be careless. As Huai’an Prince’s most adored younger son, many want you dead!" The stern man driving the carriage spoke again.

Then he reminded, "Little Prince, don’t forget about that incident half a month ago!"

Upon hearing Wang Jiu’s mention of the incident from half a month ago, the white-robed youth couldn’t help clutching his chest, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.

He almost, just almost, bid farewell to this world.

Recalling that incident, his chest continued to ache faintly.

His eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, and he turned back into the carriage.

The stern man seeing this continued driving the steed forward.

With the Xuanjia Cavalry clearing the path, he could relax a bit more.

The Little Prince’s southern tour, he knew many desired the Little Prince’s death.

Because the high noon sun-like Huai’an Prince still had only two sons.

One eldest son and one second son.

The eldest son was currently in the military, skilled, relatively safe.

The second son differed.

He also knew that this time, the Prince had him take the Little Prince out on a southern excursion to use the Little Prince as bait, to lure out those hidden in the shadows.

Thinking of this, he pitied the Little Prince within the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

The Little Prince couldn’t help but clench his fist, fingers turning white from the tight grip.

His expression remained unusually calm.

"Wang Jiu, find a place to stay, then bring Lu Zhao, and also find Bai Hesong for me. Since I’ve come to Guangning City, I must see what kind of unparalleled beauty she is, to have that old fellow Bai Hesong praise her so lavishly."

"Little Prince, it’s better to be discreet, you must not lightly offend a Grandmaster." The stern man driving the carriage advised.

"Hmph, just an old relic with little time left, what’s a Grandmaster worth being afraid of, you can’t possibly be afraid of him?" The voice of the white-robed youth inside the carriage filtered through to the stern man driving.

Sitting on the driver’s seat, he shook his head silently.

...

White Crane Martial Arts Hall.

"Master, he’s here!"

"Who?" Bai Hesong was taken aback.

"Huai’an Prince Mansion, the Little Prince!"

"Go bring your senior disciple here!" Bai Hesong’s eyes turned serious.

"Yes, Master!"

...

Lu Mansion.

"You’re saying, Huai’an Prince Mansion’s Little Prince Lu Zhao is here?" Lu Junyi said.

"Yes, Marquis, Lu Zhao entered the city with the Xuanjia Cavalry clearing the way, the city’s factions should soon receive the news!"

"Where is Little Prince Lu Zhao residing now?" Lu Junyi inquired.

"That’s still unknown, as soon as the news came, I immediately came to report!"

Upon hearing, Lu Junyi waved his hand.

"Go investigate further, once you determine Little Prince Lu Zhao’s residence, come back and inform me!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The servant responded respectfully, then exited the study.

At this moment.

Lu Junyi glanced with a hint of a smile toward Chunfeng Lou, where Jiang Ning was.

"Jiang Ning, I’m curious how you’ll deal with Lu Zhao, Huai’an Prince’s most cherished younger son!"

"My junior sister is of extreme beauty; if Lu Zhao really sees her, with his personality, he won’t be easy to deal with!"

Lu Junyi’s eyes gleamed with intrigue.

Neither Jiang Ning nor Huai’an Prince Mansion did he favor.

He vividly recalled when Jiang Ning didn’t afford him any face at Jiuxiao Building.

But nobody noticed, so he endured it.

Regarding Huai’an Prince Mansion, he disliked them even more.

Huai’an Prefecture and Guangning Prefecture border each other.

Huai’an Prince Mansion’s influence now reached into Guangning Prefecture.

Thinking of how the copper mine exploitation rights near the border were acquired by Huai’an Prince Mansion, pangs of regret gripped his heart.

"Why did Master and Senior Brother suddenly reconcile with Jiang Ning?!" He now thought of the news he heard over the past days, filled with doubt.

He knew his master’s strength.

Three blood exchanges, an experienced Grandmaster, strong and seasoned.

After reaching Third Grade, each blood exchange is harder yet stronger with each round.

Life undergoes transformation and evolution, and with each blood exchange, comes a change.

Three blood exchanges, within Guangning City, they are genuine experts.

Moreover, being an old Grandmaster, it’s hard to bow and reconcile, especially with a youngster.

He also knew his senior brother’s strength.

Third Grade Grandmaster, though just entering, not yet a Heavenly Person, yet young, with potentially another Jiazi of golden years ahead.

Greatly probable to surpass his teacher, Bai Hesong’s strength.

Combined with holding the post of Chief of Patrol Bureau, bearing an official rank, high status.

Yet, as he understood, both went to Jiang Ning’s residence due to Wang Qintan, but neither had any conflict with Jiang Ning.

Based on what he heard from other disciples.

Bai Hesong and Liang Yong even went to Jiang Ning’s residence to present gifts.

"Could Lord Jiang have something unknown to me up his sleeve??" After pondering a moment, Lu Junyi muttered.

...

Ye Mansion

"Sir, the news you’ve tasked us to watch for has surfaced!"

"What news?" Ye Zhengqi was slightly bewildered by his subordinate’s sudden words.

"The second son of Huai’an Prince, Lu Zhao, has arrived in Guangning City!"

"Where is this person residing now?" Ye Zhengqi asked.

"At Heavenly Fragrance Garden!"

"Heavenly Fragrance Garden? Not surprising!" Ye Zhengqi nodded.

Then he instructed, "Closely monitor Lu Zhao and Lord Jiang; report promptly with any developments!"

"In Guangning City, the people of my patrol envoy faction cannot be bullied!"

"Understood!" The subordinate bowed, continued, "If a major situation arises, I’ll notify you with fireworks!"

"Hmm!" Ye Zhengqi nodded affirmatively.
