“Manager Han, there’s no need for such formality,” Jiang Ning said.
“Mr. Jiang, what exactly are you looking for?” Han Hongmei asked again, echoing the question Little Lv had just posed.
Jiang Ning replied, “Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can significantly enhance Martial Arts Seventh Grade, or precious pills! Perhaps treasures like the Blood Lotus that can increase Qi-Blood and are very easy to digest and absorb, or items that can enhance spiritual power.”
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s requirements, Han Hongmei fell into contemplation for a moment.
She had a rough memory and understanding of all the various goods available at the Wanhua Building.
Quickly, she thought of some items that would meet Jiang Ning’s needs.

“Mr. Jiang, please follow me!” said Han Hongmei.
Jiang Ning nodded and then followed her.
…
Two hours later.
On the balcony of the Wanhua Building’s attic.
Jiang Ning sat cross-legged, his spiritual power delving into the ring. After a sweeping glance, a surge of joy welled up inside him.
This time, after careful selection and calculation, his haul was abundant.
He spent a total of forty-two thousand three hundred taels of silver.
And this was after applying the 20% discount from the token left to him by Shen Congyun.
Had he paid the original prices, his expenditure would have surpassed fifty thousand taels of silver.
Such an enormous fortune could support five thousand households for a year’s time.
Five thousand households—that was over twenty thousand people.
Such a number could not be considered small.
At the same time.
With these items in the ring, his confidence in his rapid strength improvement was now even stronger.
Within the ring were precious pills that would aid his swift advancement in Martial Arts Seventh Grade.
Just for this purpose, he had spent nearly twenty thousand taels of silver.
There were plenty of other treasures as well.
Looking at this batch of invaluable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and various precious medicines made Jiang Ning almost want to return immediately and fully assimilate these resources to boost his strength.
But thinking about the incident from the previous night, he temporarily shelved this idea.
An increase in strength was not something to be rushed.
The cause of last night’s event was of utmost importance.
However, it was now between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., and Lin Qingyi was still asleep, so he didn’t want to disturb her.
It was also the time for him to practice his Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun, so Jiang Ning began to do so right there, cross-legged, to gain Experience Value for his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, to refine his organs, and to increase the amount of Inner Breath in his Dantian.
With each breath in and out.
A stream of Sun Essence Qi from the void, like a serpent of fire, was drawn into his organs through his nostrils.
Jiang Ning immediately felt an intense burning sensation within his body.
But he was already accustomed to such changes.
However, he soon felt something entirely different from before.
Previously, when he sat halfway submerged in water, the moisture from the water source allowed the burns in his organs to heal quickly.
But now, sitting on a wooden terrace, without the nourishment of water.
After digesting one stream of Sun Essence Qi, the burns in his organs showed no signs of subsiding.
He then continued to absorb and breathe in the second stream of Sun Essence Qi despite the burning injuries in his organs.
After the second stream of Sun Essence Qi was assimilated.
He couldn’t help but open his eyes, his brows deeply furrowed.
Even after his body had absorbed the second stream of Sun Essence Qi, the burning sensation in his organs hadn’t diminished at all.
The pain of burning kept assaulting him relentlessly.
Only at this moment did Jiang Ning truly understand how difficult it was for ordinary people to practice the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.
Just the damage from the Sun Essence Qi to the organs was a major problem.
He had only assimilated two streams, yet he felt that he could no longer continue to breathe in the Essence of the Great Sun.
The burns caused by merely two streams were already quite severe.
If he were to take in another stream, he felt that his organs might suffer major issues.
Under such circumstances, he could not continue to practice the Breathing and Releasing the Essence of the Great Sun.
But without this practice, the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill could not advance, and his organs would not improve.
Thinking about this, Jiang Ning was filled with emotions.
Under the nurturing of a water source, he could practice thirty or more times a day.
But now, without the nourishment of water, equivalent to the situation of an ordinary person, he could barely manage to do it twice.
The difference in efficiency was nearly twentyfold.
That is to say, the progress he made in one day of practice was equivalent to a common person’s month of effort.
“The disparity is too great!” Jiang Ning shook his head.
Jiang Ning couldn’t continue breathing and releasing the Essence of the Great Sun or practice Inner Elixir Cultivation. He simply took out a few things from his ring.
He waved his hand.
Five Blood Lotuses appeared before him.
Their ages ranged from 35 to 100 years.
This batch of Blood Lotuses alone cost him over ten thousand taels of silver.
He was very clear on their effects—to enhance Qi Blood power.
The increase in Qi Blood power is a good thing for any martial artist.
For him as well.
But what Jiang Ning valued most were the Source Energy Points provided by the Blood Lotuses.
Last time, a fifty-year-old Blood Lotus worth about eight hundred taels had provided him with more than twenty Source Energy Points.
This cost-effectiveness was extremely high in Jiang Ning’s eyes.
A single lotus could provide more than twenty Source Energy Points, meaning that at most, five fifty-year-old Blood Lotuses could provide him with over a hundred Source Energy Points.
Over a hundred Source Energy Points would allow his Wind Thunder Arrow Skill to Break Limit for the first time.
And this price, compared to that of the Snow Lotus, was about four thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Ning couldn’t guarantee that other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had such a suitable cost-effectiveness ratio.
So, he directly bought all the Blood Lotus stock from Wanhua Building.
But there were only these five in front of him.
After that, he took out the oldest one.
A hundred-year-old Blood Lotus, that single one cost him a great deal of money, five thousand taels of silver.
That was an exceptionally favorable price.
According to the blood lotus pricing, adding just ten more years would double the price.
Of course, if the price really doubled like that, nobody could bear it, and the actual effect wasn’t worth such exaggerated claims.
But still, a hundred-year Blood Lotus for merely five thousand taels of silver felt very worthwhile to Jiang Ning.
Originally, he thought that even if it didn’t cost over twenty thousand taels, it would still take ten thousand taels to secure one.
The next moment,
He plucked a leaf from the hundred-year Blood Lotus.
The leaf was as red as blood, and one could clearly see a fluid resembling blood flowing through the veins of the leaf’s stem.
Such a magical leaf, on a hundred-year Blood Lotus, there were ten in total.
After Jiang Ning plucked one, he directly threw it into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, he swallowed it in one gulp.
The juice, along with the remains of the leaf, fell into his belly together.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning felt his body temperature rising steadily, his skin turning a glowing red.
His Blood Qi became violent and boiled within his veins as if roaring like a mighty river, unceasing and tumultuous.
Every inch of the blood vessels on his skin swelled like a dragon, extremely visible.
“Such a fierce Medicinal Power!” Jiang Ning was startled.
He quickly got up and started practicing his punches.
Practicing punches to digest this violent Qi-Blood and vast Medicinal Power.
Again and again.
Jiang Ning was sweating profusely, and the Medicinal Power inside his body was gradually absorbed.

After three consecutive repetitions, his body temperature slowly fell.
His breath gradually returned to normal, and his heartbeat stabilized.
He clenched his fists.
Feeling the change in the Qi-Blood inside him, Jiang Ning was delighted.
Just a single leaf made him feel the increase in Qi-Blood was almost as significant as consuming a whole fifty-year-old Blood Lotus.
“No wonder they say the price of the Blood Lotus doubles with every ten years of age!”
“The increase in Medicinal effect is indeed exaggerated!”
Jiang Ning reflected inwardly.
He then glanced at the loft where Lin Qingyi was and withdrew his gaze. Jiang Ning plucked another crimson lotus leaf.
His time was extremely precious now; he wouldn’t wait here for Lin Qingyi to wake up.
This was the perfect time to refine and absorb the Medicinal Power of the Blood Lotus.
The Sumeru Ring was not short on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Just refining and absorbing those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Jiang Ning estimated it would take at least three to five days.
