I can also adjust my size at will!\" Linglong’s voice echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many hundreds of years of Dao do you have now?\" Jiang Ning asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Master, I previously had just over five hundred years of Dao, but I recently awakened the power of my bloodline, and my Dao has surpassed eight hundred years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight hundred years?\" Jiang Ning’s eyes flashed with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Turtle at his feet trembled all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight hundred years of Dao, this was already infinitely close to the Dao of a Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially sensing the dragon might and bloodline pressure radiating from Linglong floating in the air, it was acutely aware of the Dragon Carp’s terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the oppressive feeling of bloodline and life level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow at 13:00, bring a heavy rain over Dongling City as the center!\" Jiang Ning said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!!\" Linglong’s voice instantly echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several injured martial artists lay scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red blood flowed from those martial artists, slowly along the patterns of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weapons were scattered on the ground, also haphazardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the shadow of houses in the distance, bursts of cold air occasionally sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected that the seemingly gentle and weak woman could move as swiftly as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light long sword in that woman’s hand was extremely domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With any casual strike, it either disarmed weapons or cleaved through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those renowned warriors now lay on the ground, their life-and-death unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t help but recall Lv Yi’s earlier warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this really Lord Jiang’s residence?\" Someone asked in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Densely packed footsteps sounded from far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With activity, the sound of swords at the waist vibrated and rubbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steady and powerful footsteps, the sound of sword friction like rustling leaves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good, it’s people from the Inspection Office!!\" Someone instantly identified the rapidly approaching people from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this was said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those secretly observing scattered like birds and beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Inspection Office came so quickly at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, what the woman said earlier was not false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard ahead with strange phenomena was indeed the residence of Dongling County Patrol Envoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon confirming this news, they lost all interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the rank of the big figure who was Dongling County Patrol Envoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly wanted to act against them, those who came here and were seen tonight would have few good outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next

disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning let out a long breath of impure energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breath exhaled from his mouth was as hot as flames, distorting the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slowly stood up, glancing at the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Perfection

Jade Nine Orifice Lotus he can’t use now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is saved for four blood transfusions and nurturing the body as a great medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the earliest tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow, the transformation brought by three blood transfusions can be completed!\" He again quietly sensed his current physical state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, steadied himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Linglong!\" He called to the tranquil lake ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake water parted, and a Dragon Carp glittering with golden light in the sunlight swam toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air before Linglong seemed no different from water at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\" The ethereal voice of a young girl echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linglong also arrived in front of Jiang Ning, swimming through the air as if it were within her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Carp now lacked the vibrant mythical brilliance it had possessed last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it returned to its previous form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet under the sunlight, it remained extraordinarily dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and bring rain to Dongling County, with all your might!\" Jiang Ning commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!!\" the Dragon Carp responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flicked its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly transforming into a streak of golden light, it shot skyward at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching that ray of golden light piercing through the heavens, Jiang Ning was secretly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his naked eye observation, Linglong at this moment had achieved a speed surpassing half the speed of sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed was somewhat terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had only seen Shen Wenyan break the sound barrier with his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, while he could traverse the void, he could not break the sound barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his speed was faster than Linglong’s, it was still limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was a Heavenly Human Grandmaster with three blood transfusions successfully completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linglong, having awakened her bloodline, now had only eight hundred years of Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eight hundred years of Dao, she was not yet a Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his current Third Grade Grandmaster realm, if placed among the Demon Clan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be at the level of a millennia-old Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linglong, with only eight hundred years of Dao, was not yet a millennia-old Great Demon, yet possessed such speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point, Jiang Ning could see Linglong’s current exceptional strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Dragon Carp is indeed a Dragon Carp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly worthy of having the bloodline of a True Dragon!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning then glanced at the Old Turtle basking in the courtyard, sighing silently in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Dragon Carp had transformed into a speck of golden light, piercing the cloud layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winds and clouds surged, and muffled thunderclaps resounded above the cloud layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wind is rising!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the wind blowing from the west, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongling City lies on the western side of the Dongling Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the wind was blowing from west to east, rising along the mountain ridge, which easily triggered rainfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumble sounded overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning looked up again, and saw dark clouds appearing in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cloud Riding... Cloud Formation and Rainfall...\" Watching the rapidly changing weather above, Jiang Ning muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Residents inside and outside the city emerged from their houses, stepping into the open to look up at the sky and shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going to rain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going to rain!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheers were loud enough that Jiang Ning within the courtyard could still hear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky had completely darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense clouds covered it, stretching unseen for miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the first drops of rain struck the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam rose, and the air was immediately filled with the scent of earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The area of impact is larger than mine!!\" Jiang Ning thought to himself while watching the sky blanketed by clouds and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes, his breath instantly blending into the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his involvement, the range affected by the clouds and rain continued to expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain grew heavier, and the wind stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With thunder roaring, rain poured down like pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governor Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shouyi stepped outside, looking upward with eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This rain, a merit of immeasurable value!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let the rain soak his entire body, feeling it strike against his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a celestial retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In Dongling County, someone is stirring up chaos!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhan Yue, would you take a trip to Dongling County?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\" A young man with a giant sword nodded, rising from the ground and heading down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1560,"2026-05-29T16:07:37.228Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","602d8e6c8c6778c91e547bb5d848dd0e4d99692fc3cea7459404cdef25fb45cc","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1004","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1002",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
