Chapter 907 The Source of Rapid Growth!
Lishui Imperial Palace.
Above the waterside pavilion.
As time passed, the golden glow of the setting sun gradually turned orange-red, then dimmed, and finally sank completely below the horizon.
Then, night fell, a crescent moon rose, and silvery moonlight spilled onto the lake.
As a gentle breeze blew by, the lake surface rippled with silvery scales.
On the waterside pavilion, Jiang Ning stood motionless like a rock, emitting only a faint, hazy light that made him stand out in the darkness.
The entire island was silent; not a single insect or bird chirped.
Outside the island, the palace maids and guards on duty and patrolling nearby would occasionally look towards the central island, feeling an instinctive sense of awe.
In the blink of an eye.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its cool light spilling across the earth, enveloping the Lishui Palace in a veil of soft, ethereal glow.
Inside the palace, lush greenery abounds and flowers and trees bloom in profusion.
Inside the palace, specks of green fluorescence were scattered all around—fireflies flitting about.
Bathed in moonlight, it possessed an ethereal beauty.
Time continues to flow slowly.
The capital city outside the palace gradually fell into slumber.
As the moon reached its zenith, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
call--
He exhaled a breath of stale air, the shockwave like a sword, shooting several feet away and creating ripples on the water's surface.
Then, he looked up at the sky.
"It's about time to go back!" he muttered to himself, then stood up.
crackling-
As he stretched his muscles and bones, his whole body resonated, and his blood and energy surged.
next moment.
His figure disappeared from there.
The residence of the Marquis of Dongling.
In a secluded courtyard.
creak-
The half-open window suddenly opened and then closed.
"Who?" A woman's cold voice rang out from the dimly lit room.
“Me!” Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyi's tense body relaxed in the dimly lit room.
After a while.
A soft, melodious murmur gradually rose into the air.
Before you knew it, it was the next day.
It was noon.
The sun hangs high in the sky.
The air was filled with a scorching heat.
The lake was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the greenery and a corner of the building, without a breath of wind.
call--
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
As he exhaled this turbid breath, the surroundings began to move gradually.
Life begins to come alive, and the long-suppressed chirping of insects and birds begins to resound.
A breeze blew from afar, skimming across the lake's surface and creating ripples.
[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method + (Five Limit Breaks 23/60000) (Trait:)
Looking at the panel, Jiang Ning immediately showed a faint smile.
"The progress is complete again, and I can increase my mental strength once more!" he thought to himself.
Then my gaze moved down to the "Source Point" column.
[Source Point]: 140.2
"This breakthrough only requires fifty source points, which is still a bit redundant, but the next breakthrough will require one hundred source points, and that won't be enough!"
As the thought flashed through his mind, he continued to ponder, "Given the current changes, relying solely on the breakthrough of the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method is definitely not enough to achieve the spiritual freedom described by the Martial Saint! I need more source points to help me break through my cultivation technique and drive the growth of my spiritual power."
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.
"Forget it!" After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head inwardly. "Right now, we should focus on digesting our own accumulated resources. As for the subsequent growth of source points, we'll deal with that later."
After making his decision, his gaze fell back on the panel.
Then, a thought occurred to him.
The number of source points decreased rapidly.
The Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Dharma then began to break through.
The process was slightly different from the last time, but largely the same.
With the experience from previous attempts, the whole process went exceptionally smoothly.
The breakthrough was completed in just a moment.
[Skill]: Lingtai Cave Illumination of True Self Method (Six Limit Breaks 17/70000) (Characteristics: True Self Unique (Light Gold), Insight into True Spirit (Dark Purple), Three Elements United (Light Gold), Foresight (Dark Purple), Spiritual Wisdom (Dark Purple))
【Linghui (Dark Purple)】: Possesses spiritual wisdom, has a deep-rooted wisdom, and has extremely high comprehension.
"It's a deep purple, but it's not bad!" He looked at the description on the panel and nodded to himself.
Wisdom and insight.
All of these will be helpful to his future path.
"After breaking through the limit six times, the experience points required for the next stage of breakthrough have increased by another 10,000, to 70,000. At my current efficiency, I should be able to finish by tomorrow." A thought flashed through my mind.
Then, he looked at the source point column on the panel.
[Source Point]: 90.2
"I just used up fifty source points, and now I have ninety source points left, less than one hundred source points!" He thought to himself as he looked at the source points on the panel.
Then, he raised his head slightly and looked at the rippling blue lake in front of him.
"Lingling." His voice rang out, drifting towards the lake on the wind.
Just one breath later.
hula-
The lake water exploded.
A dragon carp, shimmering with golden-red light under the sun, leaps out of the lake.
As the dragon carp leaps into the air, droplets of water glisten and sparkle under the sunlight.
Then, a burst of rainbow light erupted.
The dragon carp had transformed into a charming young girl in the air.
The girl wore a long, gold-red dress that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.
Her hands and feet were slender and still wet with drops of water.
Her eyes were large and bright, with gold and red eyeshadow around them, and two small gold and red scales as embellishments under the corners of her eyes.
"Master!" Lingling said as soon as she landed.
"Go, bring me the rare treasure that my elder brother sent to my mansion yesterday!" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, Linglong obeys!" The girl smiled and leaped up, transforming into a dragon carp in mid-air. As the water splashed, she fell into the lake.
A few more moments passed.
The lake water exploded again, and a rainbow shot into the sky before gently landing.
"Master, everything has been retrieved!" Linglong said.
"Where are the things?" Jiang Ning looked at her, who had come empty-handed.
"Master, look!" Linglong said with a grin.
Then, she slightly opened her mouth, and a flash of inspiration came out of it.
When they landed in front of Jiang Ning, there were five white, glistening fruits. Each one was only about half the size of a fist, hanging on a branch.
The fruit is carved from white jade and has a faint fragrance.
"Master, this is a kind of fruit called Cold Moon Spirit Fruit. Consuming it can increase spiritual power, nourish the soul, and has the effects of calming the mind and clearing the spirit."
Jiang Ning: "."
"Take it to the lake and wash it for me first," he said again.
"Master, I feel like you're disgusted with me!!" Linglong stared wide-eyed at Jiang Ning.
“You’re right,” Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.
"Master, I'm heartbroken!" Linglong said, then continued to explain, "This is my talent, a talent I just awakened and mastered. My mouth holds the universe, and I didn't even get a drop of saliva on it!"
"Okay!" She glanced at Jiang Ning again, then lowered her head and said.
Then, she went to the lakeside, washed all five white, glistening fruits, and handed them to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning glanced at the five fruits piled in his hand, then opened his mouth and swallowed the five white, glistening fruits whole.
The power of his blood and qi surged within him, and the five fruits were instantly refined, a surge of pure energy exploding within his abdomen.
"So strong!!"
A slight chill ran through him.
The energy that exploded in his abdomen was far more powerful than he had anticipated.
"I wonder how much gold those five Frost Moon Spirit Fruits cost. At Ji Minghao's coronation ceremony, the gold reward alone was 100,000 taels." The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly calmed his mind and focused on refining the energy that had exploded in his abdomen.
After a short while, he reopened his eyes, and a notification flashed before his eyes.
[Source point +18.7]
"Just five pills brought an increase of nearly twenty source points. No wonder such powerful energy exploded in his body just now." A glint flashed in his eyes.
Then he saw that Linglong had already arranged four items in front of him.
A transparent white jade bottle contains a few drops of liquid that shimmer with purple light, and occasionally tiny arcs of lightning flash along the bottle's walls before disappearing.
A section of withered green vine, more than ten centimeters long, was inconspicuous.
It was a sealed, icy white jade box, but he could sense that it contained a fiery red Ganoderma lucidum with roots like dragon whiskers.
There is also a piece of amber, inside which is a drop of blood, so red it's almost demonic.
"What are these items? When my brother delivered them to the manor, did he leave any description or explanation?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes!" Linglong nodded. "I've already checked them all."
As she finished speaking, she pointed to the first item in front of Jiang Ning, a transparent white jade bottle filled with a liquid that shimmered with lightning, and continued, "This is Thunder Sound Jade Liquid, which is said to be worth three thousand taels of gold per drop and has an extremely strong effect on tempering the body."
As Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Ning and pointed to the second item, a piece of dried green vine.
"As for this vine, there are records of it in my bloodline. This is the Evergreen Vine, which is known as the Evergreen Vine. It survives for a hundred years and grows an inch in a thousand years. It was left over from ancient times. If it weren't for the great changes in the environment, this vine would have become a celestial medicine after ten thousand years. Unfortunately, the lifespan of this vine ended at around four thousand years. After the great changes, the environment was no longer suitable for the lifespan of this vine."
Upon hearing this introduction, Jiang Ning's gaze fell upon the withered vine in front of him.
More than four thousand years of accumulation, more than four thousand years of accumulation, all the essence is concentrated in this piece of dried green vine.
His gaze shifted slightly.
Immediately, one could see the rich and pure emerald green energy within the vine, its vibrant vitality and life essence.
“Good stuff!” He nodded.
His gaze swept over the other two rare and precious materials.
The alluring blood, sealed in amber within a closed, icy jade box.
“They’re all good stuff!” He nodded again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the withered vine and looked at Linglong: "You don't need to introduce yourself."
After saying that, he put the dried vine into his mouth.
Then, with a forceful bite, the vine proved exceptionally resilient.
One bite and it was impossible to bite it off.
"What a resilient vine!" he thought to himself.
Then bite down hard with your teeth and rub back and forth repeatedly.
collapse--
Finally, as the fibers broke, he managed to bite off a section of the vine.
He chewed and swallowed the small piece of ancient evergreen vine in his mouth with renewed force.
A warm and powerful essence of life flowed down his throat into his abdomen, like a green river surging within him.
That energy was not violent, but rather dense and long-lasting, as fine as spring rain, seeping silently into every part of the body, nourishing every inch of flesh and every bone.
He closed his eyes, his mind sank into his body, and he sensed the emerald energy flowing slowly through his blood. Wherever it passed, the cells seemed to resonate with joy and vitality.
A moment later, the energy in his abdomen was gradually absorbed by his body. Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and a notification flashed before his eyes.
[Source point +6.7]
"Good stuff!!" His eyes changed slightly as he looked at the remaining half of the withered vine in front of him.
Judging solely from the feedback on the increase in source points, he knew that the increase in source points brought about by this withered ancient evergreen vine was even greater than that of the five luminous white spirit fruits.
He then stuffed the remaining half of the vine into his mouth and chewed it with his teeth, grinding the remaining ancient vine.
With a thud in his throat, he swallowed it all.
What followed was an even more obvious change than before.
a long time.
[Source point +30.1]
"Great!!" Looking at the notification that appeared before him, he nodded with even greater satisfaction.
He didn't know how his older brother managed to buy him such good stuff.
But he understood that, judging from the two rare and precious materials he had already refined, the gold his brother had spent this time was well worth it.
[Source Point]: 145.7
"The source points have already exceeded one hundred! So far, we have only refined two rare and precious materials! At this rate, the total source points should exceed two hundred after refining the remaining three treasures."
Thinking of this, he felt certain.
His gaze then fell on the transparent white jade bottle.
A few drops of purple liquid swirled in the bottle, occasionally flashing tiny arcs of lightning along the bottle's wall before disappearing. This was the Thunder Sound Jade Liquid that Linglong had mentioned.
He picked up the jade bottle, uncorked it, and a frenzied aura rushed out, with even faint crackling sounds in the air.
Without hesitation, he tilted his head back, put the bottle mouth to his lips, and poured all the drops of Thunder Sound Jade Liquid into his throat.
boom--
The moment the Thunder Sound Jade Liquid entered his body, Jiang Ning felt a violent thunderous force explode within him. It was as if countless electric currents were simultaneously penetrating his limbs and bones, causing his bones to tremble, his muscles to tense, and even his blood to seem to be filled with dancing arcs of lightning.
That power was exceptionally domineering, rushing straight into the depths of his flesh and blood. Each time a lightning arc exploded within his body, it was as if his body underwent a tempering process.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the tingling and stinging sensation coexisting within his body.
My mind was unusually clear at that moment.
He could clearly sense that his bones and muscles had become more resilient under the tempering of the lightning, and the flow of his qi and blood had become more powerful.
After about half a cup of tea's time, the raging thunderous power gradually subsided.
Jiang Ning then slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
The foul air even carried a faint smell of burning.
But his eyes brightened a little at that moment.
[Source point +16.8]
He nodded slightly as he looked at the prompt in front of him.
Although the increase in Origin Points brought by this Thunderous Jade Liquid is not as great as that of the Evergreen Vine or the five lustrous white fruits, it is far superior in terms of tempering the physique.
For him, this also shortened the infinite distance between him and the physical body.
His gaze swept back to the panel.
[Source Point]: 162.5
"Closer to the two hundred mark, only two rare and precious treasures left!" He looked at the remaining two treasures and muttered to himself. (End of Chapter)
