Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

...

After a moment.

In the highest building of Medicine King Valley.

"Master Wang, what is this!" Lu Qingshan looked at Wang Jin, then at Jiang Ning, showing an inquisitive expression.

Jiang Ning said: "My master was harmed by villains and is seriously injured, so I came here to seek medical treatment."

"No problem, since Commander Jiang has asked, I will surely do everything I can to heal him!" Lu Qingshan responded without hesitation.

Jiang Ning subtly observed Lu Qingshan's expression but still couldn't discern anything.

Then he once again cupped his hands and said: "Sect Master Lu, if you can heal my master back to his original state, I will owe you a favor!"

"Is that true?" Lu Qingshan suddenly looked at Jiang Ning seriously.

"It is true!" Jiang Ning nodded firmly.

"Good!" Lu Qingshan said: "With your word, no matter the cost, I will heal all hidden injuries on your master, leaving no aftereffects."

"Thank you very much!!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in salute.

Lu Qingshan smiled, then looked at Wang Jin: "Master Wang, I truly envy you! To have such a good disciple!"

Hearing this, Wang Jin also showed a smile on his face.

"Sect Master Lu, I'll trouble you with my injuries!"

Wang Jin now knew that the fact Lu Qingshan agreed to treat his injuries was not out of respect for him.

But instead, it was out of respect for his disciple Jiang Ning.

He also understood that his disciple's grand entrance was to add leverage to the promised favor.

This favor wasn't just from a small-time commander of the Inspection Office now.

But from a future Martial Arts legend.

Anyone who saw what just happened knew that as long as Jiang Ning does not fall prematurely, his future achievements would certainly not stop at Grandmaster.

Grandmaster is merely the starting point.

Such a favor, in the eyes of those with insight, is more precious than gold.

Gold will eventually run out one day.

But a favor, as long as it is not used, remains and stays effective.

At this moment.

"Sect Master, esteemed guests, the tea is here!"

At the doorway.

A young woman in a light green dress, with a beautiful face and light makeup, appeared.

The attire she wore was that of Medicine King Valley, clearly indicating she was a disciple of Medicine King Valley.

"Commander Jiang, this is the granddaughter of Elder Huang from Medicine King Valley, known as Huang Yu for the time being, she will be the one to take care of your master, would that be acceptable?" Lu Qingshan spoke.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang!" The young woman in a light green dress, Huang Yu, set down the tray in her hands and saluted Jiang Ning gracefully.

Jiang Ning glanced at the young woman, then nodded: "Very well, Sect Master Lu can arrange as you see fit!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and nodded, then approached Wang Jin.

"Master Wang, please do not resist, let me check the condition of your body now!"

"Sect Master Lu, go ahead!" Wang Jin appeared relaxed and at ease, the gloom in his heart completely dissipated.

He knew that with Lu Qingshan's intervention, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance his body would be fine.

"Young Master Jiang, please have some tea!" Huang Yu held a freshly brewed cup of tea and approached Jiang Ning.

As Huang Yu got closer, a faint scent of makeup and a young girl's fragrance wafted over.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning calmly took the tea.

"Young Master Jiang, rest assured, as long as Master Wang is recovering in the valley, I will wholeheartedly take good care of him." Huang Yu said.

"Thank you very much, Miss Huang!" Jiang Ning thanked her.

And at this moment.

Lu Qingshan also reached out with both hands, inch by inch, to examine Wang Jin's bones and muscles.

"Master Wang, bear with it!" Lu Qingshan said.

"No problem, a little pain is nothing, Sect Master Lu, feel free to proceed!" Wang Jin's facial muscles twitched, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

Jiang Ning stood to the side, holding the tea while watching Lu Qingshan's actions.

After a short time of drinking half a cup of tea.

"Phew——"

Lu Qingshan exhaled a breath of impure energy and withdrew his hands.

"Sect Master Lu, how are my master's injuries?" Jiang Ning asked.

Wang Jin also let out a long breath, his whole body drenched in sweat, half-collapsed in the chair.

Lu Qingshan said: "The injuries are very serious, almost no place on the body is unharmed, but such injuries are fortunate that although they are somewhat troublesome to treat and need time, a full recovery is no problem."

Hearing this, Wang Jin's anxious heart finally settled down completely.

Jiang Ning heard this and cupped his hands, saying: "Then I'll leave it to Sect Master Lu!"

Lu Qingshan smiled: "Commander Jiang, rest assured!"

Then he said: "Commander Jiang, I will have Huang Yu take you down to rest, and I'll return to discuss the treatment plan for Master Wang with several elders."

"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Lu Qingshan then left with the old man beside him, who had an appearance as youthful as a child's despite his white hair.

"Young Master Jiang, please follow me!" said Huang Yu, wearing a light green long dress.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning carried Wang Jin on his back and followed behind Huang Yu.

...

On the other side.

In the Medicine King Valley's council hall.

"Elders, you all understand the ins and outs of the situation, don't you?" Lu Qingshan spoke as he looked at several people below the steps.

"So, the man who came stepping through the air is indeed him!" an elder exclaimed.

The elders were already aware of the past disagreements between Medicine King Valley and Jiang Ning.

Months ago, when Lu Qingshan chose to turn hostility into friendship, many were dissatisfied.

It was only now that they understood how wise their sect master's decision was.

At that young age, he comes stepping through the air.

How is this any different from a myth?

If truly antagonized this person and failed to kill him, the destruction of Medicine King Valley was evident.

So turning hostility into friendship was undoubtedly the best choice.

Because they all knew, there is such a thing as fortune in this world.

Such a natural-born talent is surely endowed with fortune; wanting to eliminate it midway is not that simple.

The path of fortune is profound beyond measure, yet it is genuinely documented in history.

Thinking of this, many elders below exhaled a long breath of relief.

"Sect Master, in that case, Jiang Ning is willing to exchange his favor for our full assistance in saving him?" an elder asked.

"Indeed!" Lu Qingshan nodded.

"In that case, I agree with Sect Master's choice!" the elder immediately expressed his opinion.

Many other elders exchanged glances and whispered their discussions.

A moment later.

A consensus was quickly formed among them.

"Everything follows the sect master's arrangement!"

"Everything follows the sect master's arrangement!"

"Everything follows the sect master's arrangement!"

"..."

Lu Qingshan saw this and slowly nodded.

"Good, since the consensus is formed, then I will endeavor to heal him wholeheartedly!"

"Jiang Ning is destined for greatness. If he grows successfully, his favor in the future can equate to a grandmaster sitting in our Medicine King Valley, so I will spare no cost to ensure his teacher fully recovers."

"Moreover, elders who have young and beautiful daughters may arrange for them to attend to Wang Jin, seizing the opportunity to get close to Jiang Ning."

"If someone can be valued by Jiang Ning, it's indeed an opportunity for our Medicine King Valley!"

Upon hearing this, all elders' eyes lit up.

"Sect Master is right; as the saying goes, even heroes cannot resist the allure of beauty. He is, after all, an ordinary person, and also has the seven emotions and six desires. Not to say they will marry, but obtaining his lineage is beneficial!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!!"

Various colors flashed in the eyes of the elders.

They were all seasoned and knowledgeable strongmen.

How could they not understand what stepping through the air signifies?

At less than twenty years of age, so after simple exchanges, a complete consensus was quickly reached.

Healing Wang Jin, however much it costs, is merely some resources.

For Medicine King Valley's development, this is almost insignificant.

And gaining favor from someone who will be a strongman at least beyond grandmaster level in the future is a huge gain.

As Jiang Ning ascends higher, their profits will also increase.

An investment with almost no risk, how could these elderly strongmen refuse?

And Elder Huang, who was beside them with youthful allure despite his white hair, had long shown a pleased expression on his face.

Prior to this, he had already arranged for his granddaughter Huang Yu to make initial contact with Jiang Ning.

Not to say whether it will succeed or not, but at least she is more hopeful than those who came later.
