Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 181 - 82: Death of the Seventh Grade, Mastering the Secret Technique!_2

Because he had just discovered the invisible water prison from which he had managed to escape by exerting all his strength had reappeared by his side.

Moreover, he also felt his condition getting worse.

Using the Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique, when he was younger, he could sustain it for a dozen more breaths.

But now, as he had aged, his condition was not as good as it used to be year by year.

The Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique inflicted even greater damage on his body and made it harder to maintain the ignition of Qi-Blood.

What was even more fatal was he felt that he was fast approaching the limit where he would stop breathing.

Realizing this, he suddenly had a revelation.

So, this was the reason Jiang Ning had led me into the water before.

A long time later.

Jiang Ning quietly observed the corpse of Liu Qingsong floating in front of him, feeling inexplicably moved.

A Seventh Grade Martial Artist, in Luoshui County, that was heaven.

Why were the Cao, Liu, and Xie families stable as the top three families in Luoshui County?

Having a Seventh Grade Martial Arts expert was a key factor.

And now, a Seventh Grade Martial Arts expert from Medicine King Valley had perished by his hand.

"Is this the power of Divine Skills?" Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

[Water Commanding Technique]: A type of Divine Skill, naturally possessing a slight ability to manipulate water sources.

He looked at this trait again and silently said, "A slight control over water sources allows me to easily defeat an unbeatable opponent in water."

"The might of the Divine Skills is truly terrifying!"

Jiang Ning then went over to Liu Qingsong, gently closing his wide-open eyes.

Liu Qingsong, facing death, was extremely unwilling, which Jiang Ning knew.

No one would be calm dying like this, suffocating alive in the water.

Not to mention, someone of high stature like Liu Qingsong.

After this battle, Jiang Ning also roughly discerned the strength of a Seventh Grade expert.

If he were on land, facing Liu Qingsong, he would stand no chance at all.

Be it speed or explosive power or combat experience, he would be completely overwhelmed in every aspect.

Not to mention, an established Seventh Grade expert like Liu Qingsong had a complex array of martial techniques.

Once that Forbidden Technique was used, with his own strength, he would inevitably lose within a few moves against Liu Qingsong.

"Martial Arts Seventh Grade, should not be trifled with lightly," Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Then,

he began guarding the spoils of Liu Qingsong and the other two Eighth Grade Martial Artists.

A short while later.

All three were tied to a huge stone, and as the stone slowly descended towards the lake bed, the bodies of Liu Qingsong and the others also slowly disappeared into the dark waters of the lake.

"This way, no one should be able to find these three bodies!" Jiang Ning took a deep look at the dark lake bed at the end of his sight, then turned and left.

Not long after,

east courtyard.

At this moment, his residence was completely silent.

Since he had just instructed Jiang Li's family of four to go to the Martial Arts Hall.

Calculating the time, they should have already reached the Martial Arts Hall by now.

So, Jiang Ning was in no hurry.

Checking the spoils from Liu Qingsong and the other two was of prime importance.

Then, Jiang Ning placed the items he had looted from Liu Qingsong and the others on a table in front of him.

A few bottles and jars, some silver notes and money, among the money, there were also two gold leaflets.

Besides these, there was also a sheepskin scroll and a soft sword.

The soft sword was Liu Qingsong's sidearm.

The loot from Liu Qingsong and the others wasn't much.

This seemed normal to Jiang Ning, as it was inconvenient to carry many things when traveling.

Most people, when going out, brought some money and arms, and that was it.

He glanced at it, no need to look further at the money and weapons.

What needed to be seen were just those few bottles and jars, and that sheepskin scroll.

Then, Jiang Ning picked up a jade bottle.

Strength Pill.

He took a glance at the label.

His heart leaped with joy.

He had heard of this pill; it was a very useful auxiliary pill for the Eighth Grade Divine Power Realm.

It had a marvelous effect on tempering muscle strength.

This pill was also from Medicine King Valley.

"This is quite good!" Jiang Ning glanced at a few more bottles and jars.

There were indeed four bottles containing Strength Pills.

"Presumably, these are the daily supplementary medicines for those two Eighth Grade Martial Artists," he thought to himself.

Jiang Ning immediately opened one bottle, poured out two pills, and tossed them into his mouth, chewing them quickly as if they were candy beans.

"Tastes good!" Jiang Ning nodded, and stored away the four bottles of Strength Pills.

Then, he glanced at the labels on the other jars.

"Healing Medicine, huh? They're hardly worth anything!" Jiang Ning put the healing medicine aside.

Then he picked up the sheepskin scroll.

[Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill]

Jiang Ning looked at the first few large characters on the sheepskin scroll, then his gaze moved downward.

On the scroll, characters resembling tadpoles carved in black ink appeared before him.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[...]

In less than half a cup of tea's time, he had scanned through it.

Then, his gaze landed on a furnace depicted at the bottom of the scroll.

With a deep sweep of his eyes, the image of the furnace was permanently etched in his mind.

At this moment, having finished scanning the sheepskin scroll, he understood what the scroll recorded.

It was a secret technique.

A secret technique exclusive to the Medicine King Valley.

This secret technique was simple to practice, as long as one could fully visualize the furnace on the scroll in one's mind, success in cultivation would naturally follow.

The function of this secret technique was simple as well.

It was to assist in refining and absorbing the medicinal power of pills.

When needed, one would visualize the furnace on the scroll in one's mind.

Then, using the Qi-Blood as fuel, the furnace would be activated to refine the pills.

This way, the pills could be swiftly refined, and their medicinal power fully released.

The most distinctive feature of this secret technique was that it could increase the absorption rate of pills and reduce the toxicity.

Generally, it was difficult to fully absorb the medicinal power of a pill.

Ordinary people could only absorb twenty to thirty percent, which was already quite good.

However, those with better innate potential could have a higher absorption rate for both pills and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Using this secret technique to refine pills could also increase the absorption rate of the pills and reduce the accumulation of toxins.

In terms of toxicity, every medicine has its poison, so regardless of the effectiveness or the preciousness of the medication used, there would inevitably be some residual toxins.

Accumulated over time, this long-term deposit would have significant negative effects on the body.

Having understood this secret technique from the sheepskin scroll, Jiang Ning was delighted.

For him at this moment, the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill was an extremely practical secret technique.

"Let's give it a try!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

After that, he sat down cross-legged right there and closed his eyes.

In his mind, the furnace depicted on the sheepskin scroll instantly appeared with perfect clarity.

At this moment, his unforgettable ability was displayed to its fullest.

For others, what was most challenging seemed as simple as drinking water for him.

As for the other requirement of this secret technique, mastering spiritual power to be able to internally view one's own body, that was the basic requirement of this secret technique.

And at this moment, Jiang Ning possessed both.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning mobilized his spiritual power and began to visualize the furnace.

Boom—

In his visualization, a fierce fire suddenly ignited under the furnace, enveloping it with intense heat.

At this point, if someone were nearby, they could feel Jiang Ning like a blazing bonfire, radiating an astonishing heat.

Under this wave of heat, the air seemed to distort slightly as if in the peak of summer.

Time passed, breath by breath.

In just a few dozen breaths, Jiang Ning stopped visualizing the furnace and suddenly opened his eyes.

"What a tremendous exhaustion!" he felt the changes in his body and was internally shocked.

At this moment, he felt a substantial consumption of his Qi-Blood.

The consumption was no less than that of practicing martial arts for several hours.

Then, he examined his body internally to feel the changes within.

He had just swallowed two Strength Pills and wanted to see how they were refined under the Melting Furnace Alchemy Skill.

Upon internal examination, he instantly saw a mass of pure medicinal liquid in his abdomen.

"Is this the medicinal liquid from refining the Strength Pills?" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Just then,

"What is that…" His heart tightened.
