“Divine Doctor Li, please prepare another room for us.”
Jiang Ning smiled faintly and looked at Li Huichun.
Li Huichun’s heart skipped a beat, and he was completely overwhelmed.
“No, no, no, in your presence, I am not worthy of the title ‘Divine Doctor’ at all.
One of my ancestors was fortunate enough to witness the divine appearance of the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles.
I never imagined it would reappear in the world and that I, Li Huichun, would be the one to encounter it.
This is truly the fortune of three lifetimes!”
Li Huichun bowed deeply to Jiang Ning, his face filled with reverence.
In the world of medicine, the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles were a god-like existence.
“Oh, these?
If you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles landed directly in Li Huichun’s hands.
“Here, borrow these for a few days.
If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me at any time.”
Li Huichun’s heart trembled.
His knees went weak, and he fell directly to his knees before Jiang Ning.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Ning frowned, a helpless look on his face.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Huichun possessed a benevolent heart befitting a doctor, he would never have imparted the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles.
‘But his ancestor had a fateful connection with them, and it’s not like I’m going to settle down as a quiet doctor in the mortal world anyway.
I suppose I can only fulfill the Celestial Sect’s mission of saving the world by teaching others!’
“Please, Master Jiang, accept me as your disciple!
This disciple is willing to offer you the Huichun Building!”
Li Huichun said to Jiang Ning with his head bowed, as if he were holding a precious treasure.
The corner of Jiang Ning’s mouth twitched.
‘Being asked to be the master of a man who was who-knows-how-many-years my senior…
This feels a little strange.’
“You should get up.
I, Jiang Ning, don’t expect to stay in East Sea for long.”
After speaking, Jiang Ning took Jiang Chengwu directly to the other room.
“Master Jiang…
for my treatment, aren’t you going to use the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles?”
Jiang Chengwu asked, a little nervous.
‘The Spirit Extreme Nine Needles are a great treasure!’
‘If they were used to unblock my meridians, my cultivation would surely rise to another level.’
“Your injuries are too minor.
There’s no need for the Spirit Extreme Nine Needles at all.”
Jiang Ning said nonchalantly.
He flicked his finger, rapidly tapping a series of points on Jiang Chengwu’s body.
A total of thirteen taps!
With each tap, Jiang Chengwu felt a frenzied power surging within his body.
Like a tidal wave, each surge was more violent than the last.
At this moment, he felt like a powder keg on the verge of exploding.
“Quickly circulate the Cultivation Technique you’ve learned and instantly unleash the power within you!”
As Jiang Ning finished speaking, he viciously slapped his palm on top of Jiang Chengwu’s head.
CRACK!
Jiang Chengwu heard what sounded like the shattering of shackles within his body.
His thirteen meridians, as if they had been expanded several times over, all began to rumble at this moment.
BOOM!
Suddenly, thunder cracked through the empty sky.
Following the bolt from the blue, the heavens abruptly turned dark.
Countless black clouds rolled in, as if the sky itself were collapsing.
This strange phenomenon alarmed nearly everyone in East Sea.
“What’s going on?
That direction is the downtown area.
Could someone be on the verge of a breakthrough?”
“A Grandmaster!
This is definitely a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm!”
“To command the power of heaven and earth, causing such unpredictable changes…
only a supreme Grandmaster would possess such ability!”
…
Outside, everyone chattered in shock.
Although the people in the Huichun Building couldn’t see the phenomenon overhead, it didn’t lessen their shock!
Jiang Chengwu’s rapidly climbing martial aura made the entire Huichun Building rumble.
It felt as if it could collapse at any moment!
His power, originally at the Early-Stage Earth Level, soared rapidly to the Late-Stage Earth Level.
He was on the verge of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Jiang Chengwu’s face was filled with excitement.
‘Almost there!’
‘I’m about to become a Celestial Realm Martial Arts Grandmaster!’
But just as he was reveling in the surging power within him, Jiang Ning waved his hand, and everything returned to calm.
Jiang Chengwu’s expression faltered, and he looked at Jiang Ning.
His eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment!
“Realm alone means nothing.
Your foundation is what’s most important.”
After leaving this remark, Jiang Ning opened the large floor-to-ceiling window, leaped out, and gracefully drifted away.
“Hiss—”
Jiang Chengwu’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
He had originally felt a trace of resentment that Jiang Ning had halted his breakthrough, but now, only pure worship remained!
However, the subsiding aura made the people outside the door grow anxious.
Especially Long Changsheng!
He was practically beating his chest and stomping his feet!
Jiang Chengwu had been just one step away from the Grandmaster Realm!
BANG!
Wanting to see what had happened, he kicked the door open.
“Chengwu, what just happened?
I saw you were about to advance to the Grandmaster Realm.
Why did you stop?”
Long Changsheng asked anxiously.
Once Jiang Chengwu became a Grandmaster, the Long family would have a foothold even in the entire Four Seas Province.
“Master Jiang helped me stop.
He said that realm alone means nothing; foundation is the most important thing.”
Jiang Chengwu repeated his words verbatim.
For a moment, everyone was stunned and confused.
Ancient Wolf looked at them and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Elder Jiang has given you a heaven-defying opportunity!
With your age and aptitude, you would have originally stopped at the Grandmaster Realm at best, but now…”
“What?
You mean I, Old Jiang, might be able to surpass the Grandmaster Realm in this lifetime?!”
Jiang Chengwu’s breath hitched, as if he finally understood Jiang Ning’s intentions.
A Grandmaster for life versus a Grandmaster with the potential to grow.
The difference between the two was unimaginable!
“Huh?
Where’s Master Jiang?”
Chu Tianba pushed through the crowd and looked into the room, but saw no sign of Jiang Ning.
‘Am I seeing things in my old age?’
“Master Jiang…
he already flew away…”
Jiang Chengwu didn’t know how to explain it, so he could only say that he flew away.
Everyone present, except for Long Changsheng, was utterly dumbfounded!
They saw him as a celestial being!
…
As Jiang Ning rushed toward the sky, his expression grew colder and colder.
Just now, as he was speaking, he had a sudden premonition.
He had sensed a hint of danger!
But the danger wasn’t at the Huichun Building!
It was at his home!
His mother was in danger!
‘Whoever dares to touch my mother will be killed without mercy!’
At this moment, Jiang Ning’s killing intent was monstrous, shaking the heavens!
「Meanwhile.」
Inside and outside the small, less-than-ten-square-meter shack stood a crowd of people.
Every one of them looked menacing, with savage sneers on their faces.
The one with the most savage expression of all was the one-armed Brother Gou.
“Old hag, you don’t have that pretty-boy son of yours or that little bitch from the Long family to back you up now, do you!”
Brother Gou roared and viciously struck Su Qingwan on the head with his taxidermied left arm.
CRACK!
Su Qingwan collapsed to the ground in pain.
Blood immediately began to flow.
“Brother Gou, it’s not that I won’t repay the money, it’s just that my family really doesn’t have any right now.”
Su Qingwan pleaded desperately.
Her son had just returned; she didn’t want to die yet!
She still wanted to see Jiang Ning get married and hold her fat, beloved grandson!
“Hmph!
You think I came here to force you to pay me back?”
Brother Gou was incredibly arrogant.
He stomped a foot on Su Qingwan’s hand.
And ground it down hard.
“AHHH!!!”
Su Qingwan’s miserable shriek immediately echoed throughout the entire room.
