Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 329: Chapter 46: Breakthrough in Strength, Achieving Dragon Tendon!

Inspection Office.

Internal Affairs Office.

“Elder!” Jiang Ning said respectfully, looking at the old woman before him.

“You’re quite early!” the old woman looked up at Jiang Ning.

Then, a flash of white light appeared in her hand, and she threw something towards Jiang Ning.

“Dragon Ascending Pill, take it!”

Jiang Ning quickly raised his hand to catch it.

The next moment,

he opened the box he had caught, and a golden pill, the size of a pigeon’s egg, appeared before his eyes.

This golden core was completely round, with the pattern of a five-clawed dragon visible on its surface.

“Is there any problem with the Dragon Ascending Pill?” the old woman asked.

“No problem!” Jiang Ning closed the lid of the brocade box and nodded his head in satisfaction.

“If there’s nothing else, please do not disturb me anymore!” the old woman continued, “By the way, if one Dragon Ascending Pill is not enough for you to reach the Dragon Tendon level, you can come to me again, but remember you’ll need to gather fifty thousand Contribution Points.”

“I understand, elder!” Jiang Ning bowed.

“I take my leave, elder!” Jiang Ning added.

…

After leaving the hall of the Internal Affairs Office, Jiang Ning again opened his palm to take another look at the Dragon Ascending Pill, a smile of anticipation crossing his face.

With the long-coveted Dragon Ascending Pill in hand, how could he not be pleased as his path in Martial Arts could now progress further?

Reaching the level of Dragon Tendon, he could proceed to Bone Forging.

Once he achieved small success in Bone Forging, he would reach the Sixth Rank.

Finishing the process of Sixth Rank Bone Forging, Fifth Grade Internal Strength would pose no difficulty for him.

…

Thereupon, he secured the brocade box and quickly walked towards his mansion.

Moments later,

he arrived at his compound and sat down in the courtyard, the brocade box with the Dragon Ascending Pill reappearing in his hands.

After opening the brocade box, the golden Dragon Ascending Pill emerged before his eyes.

“According to my knowledge, consuming this pill and harnessing its Medicinal Power can transform and greatly enhance the resilience of my Great Tendon inside my body,” Jiang Ning murmured.

The next moment,

he held the Dragon Ascending Pill in mid-air.

As saliva began to secrete, the outer coating of the pill rapidly dissolved,

and instantly, a rich fragrance of the medicine exploded in his mouth.

“Indeed, it’s the Dragon Ascending Pill, the fragrance is really rich!” Jiang Ning focused his gaze, astonished.

Immediately,

as he swallowed, the pill, as big as a pigeon’s egg, plunged into his stomach.

The reaction of the pill entering his stomach was not intense.

Jiang Ning slightly closed his eyes to sense, only feeling a slight warmth emanating from his abdomen.

He then used his spiritual power for introspection.

Instantly, he saw the golden Dragon Ascending Pill inside his abdomen, floating like a miniature sun.

The floating ‘sun’ continuously emitted streams of golden fluid, integrating into his body and melding with the Great Tendon.

After observing for a moment,

he opened his eyes.

As I knew, even without actively refining the Medicinal Power of the Dragon Ascending Pill, the simple act of mobilizing Qi-Blood to refine the Great Tendon in coordination with the pill will enhance the resilience of the Great Tendon through the volatilization of the pill’s power!

However,

actively refining its Medicinal Power and mobilizing Qi-Blood to refine the Great Tendon significantly increased both efficiency and utilization of the Medicinal Power.

“Let’s give it a try!” Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Immediately,

he found a place, sat down with crossed legs, and slightly closed his eyes.

The next moment,

he began visualizing the Baking Furnace.

The Baking Furnace Alchemy Skill, a secret technique of Medicine King Valley,

visualizes the human body as a baking furnace and the inner Qi-Blood as fuel.

This secret technique assists in refining all pills, purifying Medicinal Power, removing impurities, and reducing the accumulation of toxic residues from pills.

With the implementation of this technique, his Qi-Blood Power blazed furiously.

The temperature of his body surged immediately, the heat spreading so intensely that the surrounding snow began to melt rapidly.

At the same time,

a dragon chant suddenly sounded within his body, followed by the Dragon Ascending Pill starting to violently oscillate inside him,

as if it was gathering a certain kind of power.

The next moment,

countless beams of Medicinal Power shot into his body like golden light.

After this change, Jiang Ning abruptly stopped visualizing the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill,

and promptly mobilized his Qi-Blood to capture the rampaging Medicinal Power.

Half a tea’s time later,

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

He clenched his fists, feeling the pull of power around his body, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

“The resilience of the Great Tendon inside my body has indeed improved, and the explosive power has also been enhanced.”

“However…” he clenched his fist again, activating the Great Tendon inside his body, then murmured to himself, “I need to rest for a bit! Such intense refining of the internal Great Tendon, even just mobilizing power now, causes a faint pain in the Great Tendon, which is clearly in an overloaded state.”

…

Time flew by.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week,

Jiang Ning not only refined the Dragon Ascending Pill to enhance the resilience of his internal Great Tendon but also read books to increase his Experience Value in Reading and Writing, and took hot baths.

The reason for taking hot baths was that the internal Great Tendon was overly refined, and the impact of the violent Medicinal Power had led to an overloaded state.

In this situation, his affinity with Water Spirit allowed him, being in water, to rapidly recover his physical condition,

thus significantly speeding up the recovery of the internal Great Tendon.

At this moment,

Jiang Ning stood in the snow, clenched his fists, his expression suddenly invigorated.

The next moment,

he threw a punch, strength coursing through his body, his physical Great Tendon switching from relaxed to intensely taut, and suddenly, a sound similar to a dragon chant echoed within him.

As he threw the punch,

the air in front of him became exceedingly compact, briefly showing a white mist, which flowed like water along his fist.

Boom—

The air exploded.

Immediately, the blast of air dispersed.
