Chapter 136: Chapter 58 Soaring Efficiency, Lin Qingyi’s Idea!_2
“Brother, when will I boil water next time?” Jiang Li asked again.
“After lunch!” Jiang Ning replied.
…
In the courtyard.
Jiang Ning posed the first stance of Vajra Immortal Body and then circulated the Five Beasts Force to drive the Qi-Blood throughout his body.
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]
...
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]
[Vajra Immortal Body Experience Value +1]
[…]
Seeing the frequency of the prompts appearing in front of him, Jiang Ning felt secretly thrilled.
“The efficiency has indeed surged again!”
“The medicinal power of the Golden Body Water is truly extraordinary! It’s worth fifty taels for a single medicinal bath!”
A short while later.
Jiang Ning slowly withdrew his stance and stopped the action of refining his skin.
Then he looked at his panel again.
[Skill]: Vajra Immortal Body (Master 355/2000)
Looking at the growth of the experience value on his panel, Jiang Ning was extremely satisfied.
This time, refining his skin had skyrocketed by 60 experience points, from the previous 295 points of Vajra Immortal Body directly up to 355.
Compared to the refining efficiency just then, it had doubled again.
Compared to yesterday’s efficiency, it had increased several times more.
Although this time the refining skin had only increased by double compared to just then, and was far from the multiple increase Han Hongmei had mentioned, Jiang Ning was still not the slightest bit disappointed.
He knew that the multiple increase Han Hongmei referred to was calculated based on the refining efficiency of a normal Ninth Grade Martial Artist.
And his efficiency was extremely high, far surpassing the ordinary martial artists.
Different base numbers naturally brought different multipliers.
After the medicinal bath with Golden Body Water, being able to bring him another doubling of the Refining Skin efficiency was already very satisfying in Jiang Ning’s eyes.
“With this efficiency, I might have a chance to achieve Refining Skin Mastery before the Inspection Office is established!”
…
Two days later.
[Name]: Jiang Ning
[Source Energy]: 21.1
[Skills]:
Reading and Writing (Second Limit Breaking 1255/3000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses)
Five Animals Fist (First Limit Breaking 53/2000) (Traits: Five Internal Organs Store Essence)
Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Fourth Limit Breaking 5000/5000) (Traits: Touch and Understand, Blade like a Swift Wind, God-like Blade Control, Man and Sword as One)
Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Master 1343/2000)
Canglang Blade Skill (Great Success 48/1000)
Vajra Immortal Body (Master 650/2000)
Swimming (First Limit Breaking 187/2000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing)
These two days.
The Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill inside his body had released medicinal power again.
This caused his physique to grow slightly again, and also brought an increase in Source Energy Points, which went from ten point zero five to twenty-one point one.
The improvement of Five Animals Fist was not as obvious because he was currently focusing mainly on refining his skin.
With his focus shifted, and also because of the transformation of Five Animals Fist after breaking the limit which greatly increased the efficiency of refining the skin, along with the assistance of the medicinal bath,
his progress in Vajra Immortal Body had also skyrocketed, directly going from two hundred and few experience points two days ago to six hundred fifty now.
This made Jiang Ning clearly feel that the toughness of his skin had greatly improved.
“This afternoon is the master’s banquet entrusted by Wang Jin three days ago, the master’s banquet for Direct Disciples!”
“There’s still time, I’ll continue practicing my fists and refining skin!”
“To me, the master’s banquet is just a mere formality!”
Jiang Ning muttered inwardly.
Afterward.
After cleaning up, he continued his practice in the courtyard.
…
Wanhua Building.
“Auntie,”
A young girl in a goose yellow dress threw herself into Lin Qingyi’s arms.
Then she affectionately nuzzled against Lin Qingyi’s chest.
Lin Qingyi, looking at the young girl in her arms, couldn’t help but show a hint of indulgence.
“Jiaer, how do you suddenly have time to visit me?”
Dressed in a goose-yellow dress, upon hearing this, Jiaer rose from Lin Qingyi’s embrace and said with a pout, “Sister Qingxia and the others have just graduated from the Dongling Martial Garden and were assigned here to the Inspection Office, so I finally found time to visit my aunt!”
“I just arrived in Luoshui County last night, and today I’m here to see my aunt!”
Hearing the words of Lin Jiaer in front of her, Lin Qingyi’s face showed a look of contentment.
Then,
Lin Jiaer took out a small box made of colored glaze.
“Aunt, this is a rouge specially procured by someone from the Prefecture of Guangning Prefecture, named ‘Pear Blossom Surpasses Snow.'”
“You’ve really put thought into it, you little minx!”
Lin Qingyi lightly tapped on Lin Jiaer’s delicate nose.
Lin Jiaer was all smiles.
At this moment, as she looked at Lin Qingyi’s face, she felt secretly overjoyed.
Over the past two years, as she studied martial arts at Dongling Martial Garden and gradually matured, she had come to realize just how incredible her aunt was.
Not only had she become a member of the Wanhua Building, but she had also become the Vice Building Owner of one of its branches.
Such a position carried high status and significant power.
Her strength was also extremely formidable.
If she could gain her favor, it would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial to her future path in martial arts.
More importantly, she had vaguely heard from her family that her aunt had married an exceptionally incredible person.
Exactly how incredible a person he was, she did not know now.
But from the tone of discussion among the elders in her family, she could sense some clues—it must be someone exceedingly remarkable.
Because at the time, whenever the elders in her family discussed this person, they would shun further talk like avoiding venomous serpents.
It was precisely because of these reasons that she had put great effort into preparing this gift and dressing up specially for this visit to Lin Qingyi.
At this moment,
Lin Qingyi opened the rouge box that Lin Jiaer had brought, and lightly sniffed it.
“This fragrance is indeed very pleasant; it must not have been cheap!” Lin Qingyi remarked.
Lin Jiaer immediately nodded obediently, “Aunt, your insight is really sharp. You noticed right away! This ‘Pear Blossom Surpasses Snow’ is this year’s top new rouge from Green Moon Pavilion, so this box alone is worth a golden leaf.”
Hearing this, a flash of surprise passed across Lin Qingyi’s eyes.
“And then she tapped Lin Jiaer’s delicate nose.”
“You really are generous, you little minx!”
Lin Jiaer rubbed her arm around Lin Qingyi and showed a face full of affection.
“Aunt was so kind to Jiaer when I was a child, I have always remembered it! It has been more than two years, and this is Jiaer’s first visit to see Aunt. How could I possibly visit empty-handed.”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
“It’s indeed not cheap for you my little minx!” Lin Qingyi, looking at Lin Jiaer, smiled fondly.
“This is what Jiaer should do!” Lin Jiaer posed coyly.
Moments later.
Watching Lin Jiaer twirl in front of her, her skirt billowing, showcasing the graceful figure of a young girl.
Lin Qingyi nodded slightly.
Soon after, she spoke, “Jiaer, how old are you this year?”
“Aunt, I just turned seventeen last month!” Lin Jiaer replied cheerily.
“Then does Jiaer have any young man she fancies?” Lin Qingyi asked.
Hearing this, an image of a tall and imposing man flashed through Lin Jiaer’s mind, then she shook her head, smiling.
“Jiaer is still young, I haven’t thought about that yet.”
“You’re seventeen now, not so young anymore! Jiaer should also consider her lifelong matters,” Lin Qingyi slowly shook her head, then the image of Jiang Ning surfaced in her mind.
She continued, “Then let your aunt introduce a suitable young man for you, does Jiaer have any thoughts on that?”
“If others were introducing, then Jiaer would say I’m not interested! But if Aunt is introducing a suitable young man, Jiaer would indeed be very interested!” Lin Jiaer replied. “I also want to see, what kind of man can catch my aunt’s discerning eye.”
Lin Qingyi’s lips curled into a smile immediately.
“You’ll meet him this afternoon! He won’t disappoint Jiaer!” she asserted confidently.
Over this period, she had personally witnessed the rapid progress of Jiang Ning and knew very well that although Jiang Ning was an unpolished gem, he would surely shine brilliantly given time.
He wouldn’t just remain confined to a small county or even a district.
Perhaps one day, the entire Guangning Prefecture and even the whole Zeshan State would have legends about Jiang Ning.
Even the entire realm might have its legends of Jiang Ning.
In Lin Qingyi’s eyes, with such an ordinary background yet such an exaggerated progress in martial arts, Jiang Ning had the potential to transform into a dragon in face of wind and thunder.
In the future, he had the chance to strike for the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster, a true prodigy.
Thus, upon seeing Lin Jiaer today, she immediately had an idea.
The idea of pairing Lin Jiaer with Jiang Ning.
As the saying goes, why let a fine man marry outside when he could remain within her own Lin family.
