Chapter 1005 - 50: Four Blood Transfusions, a Mysterious Grandmaster Enters the City! (Part 2)

Then, he closed his eyes again, transporting qi and blood to help digest this incredibly pure energy within his body.

A cup of tea’s time later.

Jiang Ning reopened his eyes, revealing a hint of delight.

After he refined the pure energy contained within a single lotus seed, he found that it not only replenished his body’s energy consumption but also significantly enhanced his Qi Blood Power.

The extreme weakness he felt just moments ago dissipated completely in this short period.

Clearly, the effect of the Blood Jade Lotus Seeds was extraordinary.

Moreover, he discovered that the absorption rate of the Blood Jade Lotus Seeds by the body was exceedingly fast, far easier to absorb than the medicinal power contained within Blood Ginseng.

It’s like the difference in time required for food and saline solution to be absorbed by the body.

This also signifies that the energy within the Blood Jade Lotus Seeds is much purer.

Then.

He took several Blood Jade Lotus Seeds from the lotus capsule again, tossed them into his mouth, and closed his pores to lock in the pure energy.

Until all the Blood Jade Lotus Seeds from the nine orifices of the lotus capsule entered his mouth and were absorbed and refined, he still didn’t feel any satisfaction conveyed by his body.

This also means his body is like a bottomless pit, not yet satiated.

"It’s truly like devouring gold as if it were dust!" he thought to himself.

Then he simply threw the lotus leaves, roots, and capsule into his mouth as well, chewing and swallowing them bit by bit.

Although the lotus seeds are the strongest part in terms of medicinal power, the leaves, roots, and capsule still have residual medicinal power.

Then.

He set off toward home.

As he returned to the courtyard, he was immediately aware that someone was inside his house.

After a quick wash in the lake, he pushed the door open.

In the dim room.

The only light came from the moonlight shining on the floor through the lattice window, providing a slight illumination indoors.

The moonlight reflected from the ground onto the woman’s black hair on the bed, as if painting it with a faint silver glow.

The visitor was Wang Qingtan.

These days, Jiang Ning was already accustomed to it.

Seeing Jiang Ning enter.

Wang Qingtan sat up and then played with the long hair hanging in front of her.

The thin blanket slid down from her chest, revealing picturesque scenery.

Under the moon’s glow, her jade-like skin appeared exceptionally sacred, like the Moon Palace Goddess.

Sensing the fiery gaze in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

Wang Qingtan couldn’t help but smile.

She always felt especially proud at these moments.

...

The next day.

Jiang Ning woke up, feeling the softness in his palm, and couldn’t help but squeeze lightly.

Immediately, Wang Qingtan’s murmuring sounded beside his ear.

Smelling the fragrance of her hair, he opened his eyes.

"Are you getting up now?" Wang Qingtan turned her head.

"Hmm!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Then I’ll sleep a bit longer!" Wang Qingtan mumbled, yawning.

"Sleep!" Jiang Ning chuckled, rubbing her black hair.

Then.

Wang Qingtan watched as Jiang Ning got out of bed, dressed, and pushed the door open to leave.

"He’s really quite diligent!" Wang Qingtan’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Then, as drowsiness overtook her, she shifted to sleep in the spot where Jiang Ning had just risen.

...

Outside the room.

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

[Source Energy]: 37371

The Source Energy Points had grown to over thirty thousand after a night’s rest.

Undoubtedly a significant increase.

However, compared to the Blood Jade Nine Orifice Lotus, this improvement was clearly unimpressive.

The Blood Jade Nine Orifice Lotus, which he had spent over five thousand taels of gold to acquire as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"It seems the Blood Jade Nine Orifice Lotus from the Secret Realm Cave Heaven is overpriced!" Jiang Ning closed the panel and shook his head inwardly.

Spending over five thousand taels of gold, only to gain barely twenty thousand more Source Energy Points, clearly has a low cost-effectiveness.

"But at least it fulfills the Break Limit requirements for Water and Fire True Strength and Inner Elixir Cultivation!"

In his heart, Jiang Ning gently reassured himself.

Then, in the faint morning light, he no longer busied himself with accumulating Experience Value for Water and Fire True Strength.

But rather it’s on the Experience Value of Vajra Immortal Body.

Because of the Four Blood Transfusions, with his current foundation, it’s somewhat strenuous.

Five Blood Transfusions, with the current strength of his physical body, is entirely inadequate to achieve this.

Unless he spends a fortune to buy external aids.

But this is clearly not suitable for him.

The medicinal herbs that assist a Grandmaster in blood transfusion are too expensive.

For him, the cost performance is pitifully low.

In comparison, it’s better to continue strengthening the physical body.

Rely on a strong foundational physical body to complete subsequent blood transfusions.

As for the Water and Fire True Strength skill, yesterday it was already fully cultivated with intense effort.

Now he can complete the Break Limit at any time.

But the timing is not right because Wang Qintan is sleeping in the room, and he’s not in a hurry.

...

Early morning.

The rising morning sun shone on the ancient city walls.

The entrance of the city was already bustling at this hour.

People were coming in and out of the city gate in an endless stream.

A young man appeared under the city gate.

He glanced up at the three large characters above the city gate.

"Dongling City!"

He read the three large characters engraved on the stone bricks.

"According to my senior brother, this should be the place!" he murmured.

Then he glanced at the people coming in and out of the city ahead of him, his gaze remained calm, but a faint expression emerged.

Like that of someone looking at livestock.

Then, his gaze inadvertently turned to one side, landing on a woman in a blue long dress in the crowd.

"This woman... has some spiritual energy!" His eyes showed slight surprise.

In the long queue entering the city, Xiao Emei couldn’t help but turn her head and glance back, seeing the young man with the giant sword not far away.

"What’s the matter?" The old woman behind her spoke, then followed Xiao Emei’s gaze.

Seeing that young man, the old woman’s eyes couldn’t help but widen slightly.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and turned back ahead.

"Palace Master, that man is not simple, be cautious!"

Xiao Emei revealed a slight smile of goodwill upon hearing the secret sound transmission in her ear.

Then she turned to follow the moving queue ahead into the city.

Once inside the city through the gate, the old woman beside Xiao Emei finally let out a sigh of relief, her previously tense figure relaxed a bit.

"Great Elder, did you see through that person’s identity?" Xiao Emei asked in a low voice.

"No!" The old woman shook her head slightly: "Although I couldn’t see his details, based on my years of intuition, that young man is not simple! Very not simple! Perhaps he is a Grandmaster!"

"A Grandmaster?" Xiao Emei’s eyes flashed sharply.

Recently, the Water Moon Sword Palace had been forced to retreat step by step under the pressure of the Grandmaster from the Five Sword Sect.

She had seen the Grandmaster’s prowess, even the second elder of the palace at the Peak of Fourth Grade was seriously injured by just one move.

Their strengths are not on the same level at all.

"So young, could he be a Grandmaster?" Xiao Emei’s gaze turned solemn.

"Palace Master, appearances can be deceiving! If one becomes a Grandmaster, bodily functions greatly increase, and many Grandmasters can exhibit phenomena like rejuvenation. In this world, many Grandmasters are in their sixties or seventies but look only about thirty." The old woman spoke.

Then she added: "Palace Master may not know, but my senses are keen, and I seldom make mistakes in this aspect. Earlier, that young man gave me a great sense of oppression! This is the oppression coming from a different level of life."

On the other side.

The young man entering the city couldn’t help but smile.

"A Grandmaster?"

"Just a mere mortal body, I’m far beyond just a Grandmaster!"

...

9:00 a.m -11:00 a.m.

Jiang Ning welcomed an expected visitor.

The current Palace Master of Water Moon Sword Palace, Xiao Emei, and the Great Elder of the Sword Palace who came with her.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Ning, Xiao Emei quickly bowed.

Meanwhile.

The old woman beside her couldn’t help but tremble upon seeing Jiang Ning, then tensed up, and her palms began to sweat.

At this moment, looking at Jiang Ning was like seeing a peerless fierce beast reigning over a region.

Jiang Ning’s gaze couldn’t help but sweep past Xiao Emei, landing on the old woman behind her.

"Who is this??"

"Replying to Lord Jiang, this old one is named Hou Yingying, the current Great Elder of Water Moon Sword Palace, and the staunchest supporter of the Palace Master!" The old woman behind Xiao Emei replied respectfully facing Jiang Ning.
