Chapter 10: Jiang Ning of Luoshui County, Bai Valley! (Thanks to Xing Zai Kan Shu for the generous reward)_2
After leaving the martial arts school,
Jiang Ning leaped across the buildings with Wang Jin on his back.
With each rise and fall, they spanned a hundred meters.
The fierce wind roared past their ears.
Wang Jin squinted his eyes slightly.
"Your movement technique is naturally perfect, without the slightest hint of effort."
Then, he sighed softly in Jiang Ning's ear: "Your achievements have long surpassed your master!"
Jiang Ning said, "Master, can you endure this bumpiness?"
"No problem at all!" Wang Jin laughed, "At my stage, my physique is strong. As long as I'm not dead, a day's time coupled with medicinal recovery means most of the healing is already done! This level of bumpiness is nothing!"
"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded.
Then he asked, "Master, did the woman who attacked you reveal her identity?"
Wang Jin, hearing this, pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, she only kept pressing for your whereabouts. How could I reveal your whereabouts to someone with ill intentions? Naturally, I wouldn't say a word."
At this, he sighed again: "I just didn't expect such an event. When a few days ago the disciples at the martial arts school asked where you went, I casually answered, not expecting that beast to reveal your movements."
Upon saying this, Wang Jin suddenly realized: "Right, you returned alone, so what about your elder brother and sister-in-law's family? That woman dared to harm me, if she sought you through your elder brother and sister-in-law, she would definitely threaten you by asking and coercing them."
"Don't worry, Master!" Jiang Ning said, "I have already arranged everything before coming, entrusting a big figure in Dongling City to take care of them for me. No one can touch my elder brother and sister-in-law's family in Dongling City!"
"Then I am relieved!" Wang Jin said.
Jiang Ning paused, wanting to tell Wang Jin that it was fine for him to reveal his whereabouts at that time, as his strength was more than enough to handle that mysterious woman.
But this thought only passed through his mind for a moment before he suppressed it.
Wang Jin kept silent out of love for him, and it was kind-heartedness.
There was no need to say such meaningless words afterwards.
Completely suppressing the thoughts in his mind.
A moment later.
Jiang Ning had already ascended the city wall outside Luoshui County.
He slightly sank his lower limbs, then leapt, instantly soaring into the sky like a giant roc.
The fierce wind squinted Wang Jin's eyes until they became slits.
"Your speed is so fast! You've already left the city!" Wang Jin exclaimed in amazement at the scenery outside the city.
Jiang Ning looked ahead, "Otherwise, how could I be in Luoshui County at this moment?"
As he spoke.
He was already a hundred feet away from Luoshui County's city wall, his momentum beginning to wane, his body descending in a parabola.
Feeling the drop, Wang Jin sank his dantian, his internal breath surging.
He knew from this height, the fall would inevitably bring a huge impact to them both.
Suddenly.
Boom——
He heard a burst of explosive air from under Jiang Ning's feet.
Then he felt their falling body abruptly halt, as if stepping on solid ground, and then their body rose again.
Wang Jin's heart trembled.
Looking back.
He saw a white air wave slowly spreading behind him.
His perspective lifted accordingly.
Walking on air?
Wang Jin's heart shook again.
He never imagined that this legendary technique he had only heard of was now demonstrated by his fortuitous disciple.
Carrying a person, walking on air.
Such a method was a myth in his eyes.
"What stage has this fortuitous disciple of mine reached?" A great wave surged in his heart.
Then.
He felt another burst of air impact, and their falling body halted once more.
After a few more rises and falls.
It was like descending stairs. Jiang Ning, carrying Wang Jin, landed smoothly, then headed straight for the forest ahead.
He had long committed the location of Medicine King Valley to memory; he now chose a direct route, traversing forests, wilderness, and mountain streams.
A straight line was also the shortest route to Medicine King Valley.
To him now, everywhere was like walking on flat ground.
After Jiang Ning landed on the ground.
Only then did Wang Jin speak.
"Where did you learn the technique of walking on air?"
Jiang Ning continued running forward, the fierce wind blowing against his face, as he spoke: "Once the total inner breath reaches a certain level, relying on the burst of inner breath, it happens naturally!"
At this moment, Jiang Ning understood Wang Jin's confusion and shock.
So he continued: "Before, the disciple had a fortuitous encounter at Luoshui Lake, found a Thunder Tree, and harvested some Thunder Fruits, including one that had exceeded a hundred years. With this fortuitous encounter, the disciple's inner breath has reached the power of two Jiazi."
"Two Jiazi?!!" Wang Jin, hearing these four words, was suddenly struck by confusion in the wind.
Two Jiazi, that is a hundred and twenty years.
What kind of concept is this?
He thought of the unimaginable.
Even as a Grandmaster, it is common to have only a Jiazi of power.
As for having two Jiazi of power, that is exceedingly rare.
Yet his young disciple, not even past twenty, already possesses two Jiazi of power!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling an incomparable shock in his heart.
...
An hour and a half later.
Jiang Ning carried Wang Jin across the creek in the mountain stream.
The icy water swallowed his lower legs as he stepped on the pebbles at the bottom, slowly advancing against the stream's flow.
"Boy, don't push yourself too hard, take a break!" Wang Jin, on Jiang Ning's back, felt the sweat soaking through his clothing and sensed Jiang Ning's exhaustion, so he spoke out.
Jiang Ning continued to wade forward, hearing Wang Jin's words, he couldn't help but smile.
"Master, this is how I rest!"
With his feet in the stream, Jiang Ning also felt the stream nourishing his body, rapidly recovering from the exhaustion.
It was as if a parched desert was greedily absorbing the newly fallen drizzling rain.
The further he went, the deeper the stream became.
Soon it reached past his knees.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning stopped advancing.
Wang Jin curled up on Jiang Ning's back, sensed the changes in Jiang Ning's body.
He could clearly feel Jiang Ning's previously heavy breathing, rapid heartbeat, and bodily fatigue.
But now he felt Jiang Ning's breathing quickly calming, his heartbeat like a drum returning to normal, and the fatigue in his body noticeably dispersed.
What kind of technique is this?
Wang Jin was secretly astounded.
He had never seen anyone recover so rapidly from extreme exhaustion!
After a moment.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes.
"Master, let's go! Hold on tight!"
"Alright!" Wang Jin responded, feeling Jiang Ning leap up from the stream, soaring forward.
...
Medicine King Valley.
Located at the southeasternmost part of Dongling County.
Due to its terrain, the valley experiences a perennial spring-like climate, warm throughout the year.
Now, as the weather clears during this time.
The valley has returned to lush greenery, a scene of flourishing grass and blooming flowers.
"Sect Master, King Huainan has sent a letter requesting a batch of Detoxification Pills."
On the highest wooden structure in the valley.
An elder with a glowing face and a full head of white hair spoke to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back, had slightly graying sideburns, wearing a cyan long robe.
This man was Lu Qingshan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
A renowned figure in Dongling County, ranked at the Peak of Fifth Grade.
Across the entire Dongling County, such formidable figures barely number twenty.
"Detoxification Pills?" Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised, a thoughtful expression on his face: "Could it be that King Huainan intends to pass through the Southern Border, heading to the Demon Country in the south?"
"It should be!" The elder nodded: "According to external rumors, the Princess Consort Huainan is a Great Demon, a nine-tailed fox, possibly related to this situation."
Lu Qingshan said: "This kind of affair is not something we should interfere in, nor do we have the qualification to meddle. Since King Huainan needs a batch of Detoxification Pills, we should just prepare them."
"Yes, Sect Master!" The elder nodded.
He was about to retreat.
At this moment.
"Jiang Ning from Luoshui County, here to pay respect to the Valley——"
"Jiang Ning from Luoshui County, here to pay respect to the Valley——"
"Jiang Ning from Luoshui County, here to pay respect to the Valley——"
"..."
A thunderous voice suddenly erupted from above, like a series of resounding thunderclaps.
Echoing throughout the valley, it instantly reached everyone's ears.
Jiang Ning?
Lu Qingshan was taken aback, then looked up towards the source of the voice.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
At the mountain peak near the valley entrance.
A young man, carrying an elder, stepped through the air towards them.
Every step in the air was accompanied by an explosive wave, spreading in all directions.
Every step in the air felt like it landed in his heart, stirring up tumultuous waves.
Walking through the air, traversing the void.
