relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them walked out of the Marquis Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Jiang, Master Bai, you two are stationed in Dongling County, do not let anything go wrong there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is indeed our responsibility!\" Jiang Ning said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang is right!\" Bai Luoyu also spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zhengqi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Ye, there is something I’m very curious about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask away!\" Ye Zhengqi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What state is the master of the Martial Saint Mansion in now?\" Jiang Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bai Luoyu could not help but look at Ye Zhengqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter piqued not only Jiang Ning’s curiosity but also his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps no one in the world isn’t curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is the current state of the Martial Saint?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the world has been at peace for hundreds of years is mainly because of that unmatched Martial Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His might made almost no one dare to stir up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone did, no one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the chaos that arises is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone can see that many forces are secretly involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The root cause is that the unrivaled Martial Saint is old now, he no longer appears, no longer shows his divine might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Zhengqi saw the looks from Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu and slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not aware of the specific state of that master, I reckon only his two closest disciples understand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But one thing is certain, he is old, but not powerless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before he dies, someone will eventually have to bear his wrath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is precisely because of this that, despite the undercurrents, no major force dares to directly intervene, thus the situation has not deteriorated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Ye Zhengqi’s explanation, Jiang Ning cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the enlightenment!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from the Marquis Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning felt the changes in his body; having already digested much of the five Red Flame Blood Crystals he had ingested in the morning, he took out a 500-year-old Blood Ginseng, chewed it all up, and swallowed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite consuming ten Red Flame Blood Crystals, he was still far from returning to his peak state due to the consumption from the second blood exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he briefly practiced some Deer Form Boxing for health care and then it came to noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noon was also the key moment for him to breathe and release the Essence of the Great Sun and practice the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Perfection 2477\u002F10000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, the experience value accumulated for the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill also exceeded two thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him quite anticipate what changes this cultivation technique would bring once it broke the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill perfected, he condensed an inner core within, which hung in the Dantian, continuously supporting the internal organs, enhancing the body’s functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that not only would the internal organs become stronger, but there was also an effect of extending life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill at perfection, he gained the qualification to step into the Third Grade, achieving the status of a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This demonstrated the magic and high grade of this cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far beyond superior martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the previously acquired trait of Break Limit from the Vajra Immortal Body, which also surpasses superior martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful Dragon Elephant Power trait further increased his anticipation for the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts flowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the panel and looked up at the Great Sun above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to previous days, today’s sun seemed even hotter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, he could see layers of light waves radiating and dispersing from the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was entirely cloudless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yellow Heaven Sect, Heavenly King, the peak of humanity below the Immortal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning murmured to himself, his mind swirling with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the sundial in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to breathe towards the Great Sun above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each breath in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red mist descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill EXP +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The growth rate of the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was also faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning pushed open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling deeply from his abdomen, he gazed at the bright and clear sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he checked his panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Source Energy]: 36887\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After continuously absorbing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he bought at the auction, the Source Energy Points were nearing thirty thousand, reaching a historical peak in accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was still over ten thousand short of what he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wanted to break the limit of reading and writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading and Writing is about to face its twelfth limit break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Source Energy Points required for this limit break are estimated at not one thousand, two thousand, nor ten thousand, twenty thousand, but fifty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty thousand points would be a great cost for him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ate ten Red Flame Blood Crystals, and two 500-year-old Blood Ginseng, yet the Source Energy was still short by over ten thousand points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the growth of Source Energy Points was merely an auxiliary improvement, primarily to replenish the consumption from his second blood exchange and restore his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By today, all physical depletion had fully recovered, leaving no sense of weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full body, filled with spirit, made him feel he could punch to death the former Xiao Qiushui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air exploded, shattering in his grip with a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So exhilarating!\" Feeling the intense change within, the sense of fullness from the surge in power was intoxicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling carefully through his body, he noticed the groundbreaking transformations nourished by the new blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially once all bodily depletion had recovered, there was strong foundational support for physical transformation, which became more pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the cells within constantly dividing, growing, dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dividing, growing, dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each cycle of life ending would become stronger by a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each round of division was a step of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cells formed his living being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning stood quietly at the room door, eyes half-closed, experiencing the changes within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experiencing the evolution of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his body grow stronger, bit by bit, under the nourishment of new blood, the process was intensely fascinating and immersive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was filled with enjoyment and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joy brought by life evolution, although not intense, was very lasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after recovering physically, his perception was clearer, and the transformation and evolution of his physique were more apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery sun rose slowly from behind the ridge, adding a touch of warmth to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as the sun climbed higher, that warmth transformed into scorching heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breeze stirred the bamboo forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm wind swept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning slowly opened his bright and energetic eyes, gleaming like torches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes from the second blood exchange were more noticeable than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, the most wondrous aspect of a Third Grade Grandmaster is not the so-called Unity of Heaven and Man, nor the control over the Power of Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true essence and marvel lie in the transformation of the physical body, the evolution of life’s level, the process of the human body crossing life tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because life evolves, the lifespan of a Third Grade Grandmaster starts at two Jiazi, easily surpassing the lifespan limits of previous life research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To shatter the lifespan limits of a species is evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the evolution of life’s level!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind, bringing deeper enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What seemed crucial to outsiders, the Power of Heaven and Earth, Unity of Heaven and Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now felt was less significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was merely external force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the records in books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ancient Times, the path of cultivating immortality relied on external environments, using external forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the environment changed, the path was nearly obsolete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortals disappeared into history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some talents today could walk that path again, due to changes in the world environment, their strength would be weaker by a level in any Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the symptom of heavy reliance on external environments and powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the ancient Immortal Dao, Martial Arts tend to internalize power, relying less on external environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained clearer new understanding, he felt even more that Martial Arts was a path worth delving into deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power resides within oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not relying on the outside, not depending on the environment, resonated deeply with him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1473,"2026-05-29T16:07:35.302Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b770369b72bbd0e5c724ea61eb091037ec1df8906f2e33c7054aa2b1f1ed812","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-944","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-942",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
