Liver Adult Martial Saint

Late afternoon.

The scorching sun poured down on the courtyard like molten gold.

[Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill Experience +1]

“Huff——”

Jiang Ning slowly finished his practice, gently exhaling a breath of turbid air from his abdomen.

The surrounding crimson mist condensed into several rays of light, entering his seven orifices with his breath.

He looked up at the virtual and real panel in the void.

[Skill]: Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill (Great Achievement 2011/10000)

One-fifth of the progress, still need two more months!

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, closed the panel, and his eyes fell on the graceful figure under the parasol tree in the courtyard.

At this moment, Lin Qingyi was wrapped in a cyan cicada-wing gauze, leaning lazily on the rattan chair, the jade hairpin in her hair about to fall.

Sensing Jiang Ning's gaze, she turned over lazily, her skirt slipped, revealing half of her suet-like calf.

These days, Lin Qingyi has been living in seclusion, sleeping until late morning every day.

Usually, she looks like she has nothing to do, wandering around in her mansion, or watching him practice.

Apart from that, it seems that she has nothing else to do.

Although Jiang Ning was curious, he couldn't ask too much, so he could only let it go.

“Sister Lin, I have to meet a guest!” Jiang Ning said.

“Go!” Lin Qingyi yawned, patted her mouth, and then got up lazily from the rattan chair.

She raised her hands high and stretched a long stretch.

The beautiful figure between the close-fitting gauze clothes was undoubtedly revealed.

After stretching, she said, “I’m going back to sleep!”

“Okay!” Jiang Ning nodded, watching Lin Qingyi walk away gracefully in a cyan gauze dress.

He then withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly.

A moment later.

Backyard.

“Brother Bai!” Jiang Ning walked towards Bai Luoyu, who was admiring the scenery in the pavilion.

When he was breathing in the essence of the great sun, Bai Luoyu came to visit and waited for him in the backyard.

Bai Luoyu secretly examined Jiang Ning and couldn't help but praise.

“Brother Jiang has such a strong Yang energy, his whole body’s aura is like a furnace just opened, no wonder he can breathe in the essence of the great sun at noon!”

Jiang Ning smiled, raised his hand to brush away the fallen flowers on the stone stool, then sat down in front of Bai Luoyu, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and then changed the subject.

“Brother Bai, did you come here today because there is news about that matter?”

Bai Luoyu shook his head: “Although that demon was killed by us, it still needs to be verified by the Supervisory Division, so it won’t be so fast for the time being!”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded.

“Brother Bai, congratulations!!” At this moment, Bai Luoyu raised his hand to congratulate.

Jiang Ning immediately understood what Bai Luoyu meant, he shook his head.

“It’s just a small martial scholar title, what’s worth congratulating!”

Bai Luoyu shook his head: “Brother Jiang, this is different! The top scorer and ordinary martial scholars cannot be equated at all!”

“The top scorer, there is only one in a prefecture.”

“In the past, very few top scorers in a prefecture who participated in the provincial examination in the prefectural city failed to obtain the title of successful candidate, only once or twice in a hundred years.”

“Brother Jiang can win the top scorer in the martial arts children’s examination, it can be said that he has locked in the title of martial arts candidate.”

“Although martial scholar is nothing, martial arts candidate is different!”

“If Brother Jiang wins the title of martial arts candidate and chooses to join the army, he can instantly obtain the position of captain.”

“Even without merit, relying on the martial arts candidate, after ten or eight years of seniority, he can also be appointed as a commandant.”

“Commandant, that is the position of Commandant Yan Yikuan, commanding the troops of a prefecture and managing thousands of troops.”

“So this is why there is a custom of the top scorer banquet in the past.”

“The top scorer is likely to be a fifth-rank official in charge of military power in the future.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning understood in his heart.

“Thank you Brother Bai for telling me!” He cupped his hands.

“Brother Jiang, remember to attend the banquet on time tonight, there will be gifts from dignitaries and nobles from all over the city, the value of the gift money alone is equivalent to our century’s salary. Enough to let ordinary families instantly enter the level of being rich!” Bai Luoyu said again.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning was surprised.

What is the concept of a century’s salary?

Like him before, when he was an eighth-rank deputy commander, a month’s salary was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.

A year is one thousand two hundred taels.

Ten years is twelve thousand taels.

A hundred years is one hundred and twenty thousand taels.

And this is just the salary of the deputy commander.

The official commander, as far as he knows, has an additional 50% salary.

And what Bai Luoyu said about the century’s salary is likely to be based on his own prefecture inspector as the base point for a century.

If that’s the case, isn’t the number of source energy points I lack enough?

“Brother Bai, don’t worry, I will definitely attend the banquet on time!” Jiang Ning said.

Bai Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: “To be honest, the reason why I came to visit is mainly for this matter!”

“I also know that Brother Jiang doesn’t like such a noisy scene, doesn’t like crowds, this is also what the prefect is worried about.”

“I’m afraid that Brother Jiang will not attend the top scorer banquet tonight, that would be a big oolong!”

“So that’s it!” Jiang Ning nodded suddenly, understanding in his heart.

Just now he was curious about what Bai Luoyu came to visit for.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was because he was worried that he would not attend.

So he let Bai Luoyu, who has a good relationship with him, come forward.

If he does not attend the banquet, the top scorer banquet tonight will lack the top scorer, that would indeed be a big deal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Brother Bai, don’t worry! I will definitely attend the banquet on time!” Jiang Ning said again.

“With Brother Jiang’s words, I am completely relieved!” Bai Luoyu smiled.

That night.

The night was thick, and the sky was dark.

At this moment, the Star Picking Tower was bustling with activity.

The gate was filled with luxurious carriages.

The nine-story Star Picking Tower was brightly lit at this moment.

The gilded wind chimes hanging on the nine-fold flying eaves rang softly in the night wind, and the gauze curtains hanging from the eight-story terrace rippled with sparkling waves.

Because the top scorer banquet is being held on the eighth floor of the Star Picking Tower tonight.

There is one martial arts top scorer every year.

Over the years, more than 90% of the top scorers can win the title of martial arts candidate in the summer provincial examination.

Therefore, the top scorer banquet is an important opportunity for many dignitaries and nobles to build relationships and get acquainted with future martial arts candidates.

At the top scorer banquet, the top scorer is just a martial scholar, and they can still talk to him. If he becomes a martial arts candidate in the future, ordinary dignitaries will have no chance to talk to him.

Outside the Star Picking Tower.

When Jiang Ning and Lvyi got out of the carriage.

In order to attend the banquet, Lvyi carefully prepared a white brocade robe woven with silver threads into cloud patterns for Jiang Ning, and his hair was tied up with a red hair band, which looked very handsome.

And she also put on a light green dress, her hair was tied into tassels and fell down, following half a step behind Jiang Ning.

“The arrival of the top scorer Jiang!” At the entrance, someone was already on standby. The moment he saw Jiang Ning, he shouted loudly towards the building.

Tonight, the entire Star Picking Tower was chartered, and there were no idlers.

Those who can come to the banquet are all dignitaries in Dongling City.

As the announcement fell, the sound of silk and bamboo in the building suddenly stopped.

The dignitaries and nobles who were still at the entrance looked at Jiang Ning.

“That is the top scorer Jiang, he is really brave and extraordinary!”

“I heard before that the top scorer Jiang is very young, but now it seems that he is not only young! He is simply a young man!”

“So young, he can win the top scorer in the children’s examination. How far the top scorer Jiang can go in the future is simply immeasurable!”

“…”

Just then.

Eight colorfully dressed dancers walked out of the Star Picking Tower.

Holding pipa, they dispersed to the left and right.

When they just stood still.

A roll of red carpet rolled out from the hall, like a cloud dragon unfolding.

In an instant, it rushed out of the hall, completely unfolded in mid-air, like a red python dragon, and then slowly fell.

The red carpet was extremely soft, and the moment it landed, it seemed to be embedded in the ground.

“What a big show!”

Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.

The next moment.

A dozen nobles in brocade clothes walked out of the hall on the red carpet, the first one in a white brocade robe, it was Bai Luoyu.

“Brother Jiang, I have been waiting for you!”

“Brother Bai!” Jiang Ning smiled with his hands folded, then looked at the crowd beside Bai Luoyu.

At this moment, Bai Luoyu did not want to introduce them, but made way to the side.

“Brother Jiang, please!!”

He raised his hand to signal.

At the same time.

The four dancers on the left and right held pipa, and the melodious sound suddenly sounded.

Between the second and third floors of the Star Picking Tower, gauze curtains also slowly fell, like falling clouds.

Jiang Ning stepped on the red carpet and climbed the steps.

Bai Luoyu then walked with Jiang Ning, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again in his ears.

The red carpet, like a cloud dragon unfolding, extended all the way to the elevator in the hall on the first floor.

After boarding the elevator.

Bai Luoyu said softly: “Brother Jiang, you should take a good look at the gift list later, it will definitely surprise you!”

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Jiang Ning’s eyes.

He then smiled: “With Brother Bai’s words, I have to look forward to it!”

“It will definitely not disappoint Brother Jiang’s expectations, and the gifts recorded in the gift list are all from unqualified dignitaries!”

“The real qualified dignitaries will report the gifts after the banquet starts.”

Bai Luoyu said again.

“Brother Bai’s words really aroused my expectations!” Jiang Ning smiled.

Just after climbing to the eighth floor, Jiang Ning saw that the ten or so round tables on the eighth floor were almost full.

And now counting the time, it is not yet the third quarter of Xu time.

Seeing the eighth floor full of distinguished guests, Jiang Ning realized at this moment that the martial arts top scorer has such a transcendent status!

He couldn’t help but feel a trace of waves in his heart, but on the surface he was calm, and walked towards the main seat with Bai Luoyu.

At this moment, there were only two people in the main seat.

One of them was Zhao Yulong, whom Jiang Ning was very familiar with.

He had also seen the other one. On the day of the martial arts children’s examination, this man sat in the center of the school platform with a big horse and a golden knife.

When Zhao Yulong saw Jiang Ning, he immediately stood up, and joked with a smile: “Commander Jiang, you are too late, I have been waiting for you for a while!”

At the same time, the adjutant from Julu County stood up at the same time when he saw Zhao Yulong stand up.

In front of Zhao Yulong, this grandmaster, he did not dare to be arrogant at all.

Not to mention that Zhao Yulong is also the prefect of the Dongling County Inspection Office.

Although he is not in Julu County, he cannot control him.

But Zhao Yulong’s actual status is much higher than him

“Prefect!” Jiang Ning arched his hands towards Zhao Yulong, and then said: “It’s my fault! I will punish myself with a cup later!”

“One cup is not enough, you have to have three cups!” Zhao Yulong smiled.

“Okay, three cups it is!” Jiang Ning smiled.

Seeing the conversation between the two, the adjutant was secretly startled.

Although the top scorers of the past martial arts children’s examinations have status, no one can be like Jiang Ning, who can make the grandmaster condescend to befriend him.

In front of the grandmaster, not to mention the children’s examination top scorer, even the successful candidate top scorer is difficult to make the grandmaster befriend him with such courtesy.

He secretly looked up and down at Jiang Ning again.

Bai Luoyu introduced at this time: “Brother Jiang, this is General Xu from Julu County, who is an adjutant in the Xuanjia Camp.”

“Greetings, General Xu!” Jiang Ning arched his hands.

Adjutant, although generally a deputy general.

But the deputy general is also called general when he goes out.

“I just heard Prefect Zhao talk about the deeds of the top scorer Jiang. Seeing him today, he lives up to his name! The top scorer Jiang was able to defend a city with one person and one bow that day, and made the main contribution to quelling the Black Mountain Army rebellion. No wonder his archery skills are so superb, which amazes me!” General Xu said with a smile.

“General Xu praised me! That day, I took advantage of the geographical advantage with a premeditated plan!” Jiang Ning said.

“Let’s all sit down and talk! The banquet is about to begin later!” Bai Luoyu pulled away the stool in front of him.

“Okay, sit down and talk!” Zhao Yulong said.

As soon as this was said, the four of them sat down one after another.

And Jiang Ning sat on the main seat because today was his top scorer banquet.

At the fourth quarter of Chen time.

“Prefect Wang is here!”

“Commandant Yan is here!”

Two voices rang from downstairs.

“Let’s go, let’s go meet the prefect!” Zhao Yulong said.

Hearing this, several people immediately got up.

A moment later.

As the elevator slowly leveled with the ground.

Jiang Ning and others immediately saw familiar faces on the elevator.

Dongling Prefect Wang Shouyi, and the Wang family’s twin pearls.

Wang Qingtan and Wang Qinghan.

As well as Commandant Yan Yikuan, and Yan Youjiao and Yan Youhu following behind him.

At this moment, Wang Qingtan was still wearing that extremely gorgeous dress, emitting a golden-red light under the illumination of the candlelight.

Compared to her, Wang Qinghan next to her was much simpler, only wearing a polar pink dress, adding a bit of gentleness and reducing a bit of coquettishness.

Seeing Jiang Ning, Wang Qinghan immediately showed a bright smile, very happy.

And Wang Qingtan’s expression remained unchanged.

At the same time, Jiang Ning also noticed the sharp, sword-like gaze from Yan Youjiao.

Even now, Jiang Ning still has some doubts in his heart.

With Commandant Yan Yikuan here, and Yan Youjiao as his second son, Yan Youjiao was also A in all three martial arts before the competition, and did not lag behind him. How could he let the position of top scorer fall on him?

“Greetings, Prefect, greetings, Commandant!” Bai Luoyu said with a smile.

Jiang Ning also arched his hands at the same time and said: “Greetings, Prefect, greetings, Commandant!”

“Young hero, not bad, not bad!!” Commandant Yan took the lead in nodding, expressing goodwill.

Then he took out a small booklet from his arms and handed it to a servant waiting by the side.

“Report the gift money!” Commandant Yan said lightly.

When the servant heard this, he opened the yellow booklet that Commandant Yan handed him, and seeing the gift money on it, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he spoke.

“Commandant Yan, presented one hundred taels of gold, wishing the top scorer Jiang a bright future!!”

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was silent.

One hundred taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

The key is that this gift money was given by Commandant Yan.

As a fifth-rank official in Dongling County, for many years, Commandant Yan has never given gift money to any top scorer’s banquet.

Not to mention such a large sum.

One gift is one hundred taels of gold.

You must know that Dongling County has a children’s examination top scorer every year, and there is also a top scorer banquet.

If you give gifts like this, not to mention a commandant, even if you are as rich as a country, you will have to send your family fortune down.

Therefore, the gift money given by various dignitaries at the top scorer banquet every year has never been much, just to express a heart.

It’s just that Dongling City is a county town, and there are many dignitaries.

A little bit from each person, and over time, the gift money is not a small amount! (End of this chapter)
