poured all night long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until the next morning that the rain gradually subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around noon, the clouds parted, the rain dispersed, and a rainbow hung in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning faced the newly cleared sky and continued Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Linglong lay still at the bottom of the lake, showing no sign of movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy rain that spanned countless miles had almost completely drained Linglong’s demonic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this rain also significantly alleviated the drought around Dongling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other places, they still needed some time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his understanding, the years of drought were likely not natural disasters, but man-made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was indeed man-made, then such a downpour might attract the attention of those behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday’s impromptu action was also a test for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To test if someone was indeed orchestrating the years of drought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the droughts affecting the major provinces truly were man-made, then the sudden storm in Dongling City might draw out those behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see clearly the current state of affairs in Great Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, lacking strength, he went with the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he was about to complete the Four Blood Transfusions and was a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such power placed him among the true strong in all of Great Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The likes of Ye Zhengqi were merely at this level of martial progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was essentially the pinnacle below the Second Grade Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those Grandmasters above the Four Blood Transfusions, they were exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Grade Grandmasters above the Five Blood Transfusions might even be fewer in number than Second Grade Grandmasters in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Six Blood Transfusions and Seven Blood Transfusions, they were even rarer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Heavenly Human Grandmaster at the Eight Blood Transfusions, even with the intelligence he had, he hadn’t heard of such a remarkable existence among the thirty-six prefectures of the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a Heavenly Human Grandmaster at Four Blood Transfusions was essentially invincible beneath a Second Grade Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to reach this stage, with a foundation much deeper than the likes of Ye Zhengqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to seek the truth of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the Dongling Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the heavy rain, the sky was clearer, and the air in the mountains was still filled with rich moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the bright moon, the roars of tigers and cries of apes occasionally echoed through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a spacious boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s body was emaciated, his black hair fallen, his breath faint as if the Life Fire within was about to extinguish at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Ning was in the most dangerous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boundless darkness surged like a tide, threatening to engulf him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of his soul exploded, the illusory darkness within his heart rapidly receded, and life suddenly burst forth within his desolate body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was like a dying tree, yet buds of green sprouted forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the vitality grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, his aura rose steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, he transformed from a dying flame into a raging bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the intensity of the Life Fire continued to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-white, curled long hair on his head fell away slowly, and then strands of black hair sprouted from his scalp, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to flow tens of thousands of times faster on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The withered flesh also gradually filled out, and the wrinkles were smoothed by an invisible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s dramatic transformation was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body returned to its previous state, Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone, perfectly natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and stood up slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils were clearer, more pure, filled with depth and without the slightest flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, and the remaining dried curls of hair on his head fell away, covering the rock instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the fallen hair at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! The changes brought about by the Four Blood Transfusions are even more intense. Next time, with the Fifth Blood Transfusion, according to the records, I’ll change teeth!\" Jiang Ning murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the hair on the ground, his eyes focused, and suddenly his eyes blazed like fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry, fallen long hair from his head instantly ignited in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire area of dried curls turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then extended his hand and carefully examined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel his extreme physical weakness, and his hands and fingers trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time new blood was created, it required energy drawn from every cell within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Blood Transfusions truly made him feel the massive consumption of creating new blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his now full body and the Life Fire burning like a roaring furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, his insides were extremely weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I have reserves!\" he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a flash of golden light appeared in his hand, and a lotus flower made of Blood Jade appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus had four leaves, with a seed pod at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nine orifices on the seed pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nine lotus seeds in the orifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it was known as the Blood Jade Nine Orifice Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning looked at the Blood Jade Nine Orifice Lotus in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he peeled the seed pod and took out one of the blood-jade-like lotus seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus seed in his hand, under the cover of night and moonlight, emitted a faint crimson glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how much of my expenditure this one lotus seed can replenish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought flashed through his mind, and then he tossed the lotus seed into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Jade Lotus Seed dissolved in his mouth without him chewing, turning into a rich and pure energy that merged into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such pure energy!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately sealed all the pores on his body, ensuring not a single bit of energy was lost.\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-05-29T16:07:37.228Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","911f4565f56444c0009eb8b6867764988743afd46ce91bbb652c4bdfe898bc34","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1005","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1003",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
