Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 292: The four steps of external training, the horror of the golden body!
Inspection House.

"Commander Jiang!" When the two people at the door saw Jiang Ning, they immediately saluted.

Jiang Ning nodded, then walked through the gate and headed towards his own branch.

Lu Yi did not follow at this time.

Because according to the rules, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Inspection Office.

Although no one would say anything if Jiang Ning brought her in, he didn't want to break the rules, and there was no need to do so.

next moment.

"Xiaojiu?" Jiang Ning looked at Xie Xiaojiu who walked out of his branch with a look of surprise.

When Xie Xiaojiu saw Jiang Ning, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Sir!"

"What a coincidence!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Xie Xiaojiu pursed her lips. She knew it was not a coincidence at all.

Because she has been in and out dozens of times today.

But this time, Jiang Ning arrived.

She immediately calmed down and said, "My Lord, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time!" Jiang Ning sighed.

During the approximately one month long vacation, the two did not meet each other.

On the first day of the new year, Xie Xiaojiu did not come to visit him.

Jiang Ning was a little confused at the time, but he finally understood.

Xie Zhengtian made such a big fuss in the Xie Mansion, and he must have done a lot of ideological work on Xie Xiaojiu, so that Xie Xiaojiu came to his house to act as a lobbyist.

After all, Xie Xiaojiu is Xie Zhengtian's daughter, the ninth young lady of the Xie family, and now she works under him and has a good relationship with him.

But perhaps it was because of their relationship that Xie Xiaojiu didn't want to make things difficult for himself, so the two of them didn't meet during the holiday.

Xie Xiaojiu followed behind Jiang Ning, looking at Jiang Ning's back, and suddenly spoke.

"Thank you, sir!"

"What are you thanking me for?" Jiang Ning turned around and smiled.

"Thank you, sir, for giving my Xie family a chance!" Xie Xiaojiu said in a low voice.

Jiang Ning said, "It's not me who gave the Xie family a chance, but the Xie family gave themselves a chance! Xie Zhengtian was able to be so ruthless as to scrape his bones and heal his wounds, kill those who should be killed, and arrest those who should be arrested, so I will give him a chance. Although the merits and demerits of opening the warehouses to release grain cannot offset each other, it can be considered a benefit to the people."

"If I were a few years younger, I might not tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes, no matter whether it is black or gray. Once I have the strength, I will kill them all and restore order to the people of the city."

"If you stretch out your hand, I'll chop it off. If you stretch out your head, I'll chop it off! Only pure white is allowed, and all evil and badness are not allowed."

"This is a satisfying way to settle scores, but the dynamics of the situation, coupled with frequent natural disasters, will only make life harder and more difficult for the people of the city! More people will die."

"Besides, the world is so big, how can I manage it all?"

"Besides, I'm not a saint. I do these good deeds just because it's convenient for me to do them."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ning smiled.

At first, he didn't think that he would do anything good to benefit his hometown and the people.

Now that things have come to this, it is easy for him to do it. It is just a piece of cake.

He also knew very well that keeping the relatively honest Xie family alive and letting them cut off their arms to survive and be punished by him was the best approach for the people of the entire city.

The Xie family is now opening their granaries to distribute grain to help the poor people, which can save many people in this cold winter.

If other families or other forces reached the status of Cao, Liu and Xie, they would not do better than them. What is more likely is that they would be replaced.

Just as a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

This is the whirlpool of eternal reincarnation and also the whirlpool of human nature. It is impossible to escape or break free from it.

Even he himself couldn't guarantee whether he would still have his original intention in the future.

Not to mention a family or a force!

Unless he remains true to his original intention and has absolute control over Luoshui County by virtue of his strength, can the people of this city truly live in happiness and well-being!
But he's not a babysitter!
He had no idea about this kind of babysitting behavior, let alone any obligation to do so.

In any era, any world, any environment, and any person, the only one you can ultimately rely on is yourself.

The rest is fate and luck.

After a while.

Come to your desk.

Jiang Ning casually picked up a pile of documents on his desk, which was about a dozen pages thick.

He took a quick look and understood.

These documents are a summary of various things that happened in Luoshui County over the past month or so. There is nothing serious.

The main duty of the Inspectorate is to arrest and kill anyone who dares to cause chaos, no matter if they are ordinary people, high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, or sects or gangs.

Cults are a typical example and a potential disaster.

Therefore, the inspection office’s main task before this was to eliminate the forces developed by the God-worshipping cult in the county.

After he wiped out the most important stronghold of the God Worshipping Sect and found the statue that had been enshrined in the City God Temple, there was basically no trace of the God Worshipping Sect left in the county.

The local forces were also destroyed because the Cao and Liu families were involved in the God-worshipping religion.

Therefore, there is nothing important to report during this month-long vacation.

He took a quick glance and put down the document in his hand.

"Is the Palace Master here?" Jiang Ning asked Xie Xiaojiu who was following behind him.

"Yes, Commander Ye came to see you this morning, but you were not at work, so we didn't meet. Commander Ye also told me that after seeing you, I should ask you to go to the mansion master."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded immediately.

He suddenly had some thoughts in his mind. It seemed not a bad thing that Hong Minghu came to him first.

And it’s probably a good thing.

On the night of the New Year, he defended the city alone and used his archery skills to quell the rebellion of the Black Mountain Army that was attacking the city. This was a great achievement no matter how you look at it.

Since it is a merit, it should be rewarded accordingly.

He guessed that the reason Hong Minghu came to him first might be related to this matter.

He was not in a hurry about this matter.

The credit should go to him and he cannot escape it.

In the inspection office here, even the current Hong Minghu is far inferior to him in his eyes.

More than half a month ago, he was able to fight two people at once.

Two fifth-grade inner strong realm warriors of the God Worshipping Sect were killed above the Luo River.

Not to mention now.

In terms of martial arts, his jade bone forging has improved a lot compared to more than half a month ago, and it will only take a few days to completely forge the jade bone.

As for skills, there have been even greater breakthroughs.

Mental power is transformed and can open the third eye.

Moreover, the swordsmanship broke through the limits again, and the sword power was further improved.

His strength now is completely different from what it was more than half a month ago.

The growth in strength is extremely obvious.

Especially the breakthrough in swordsmanship has brought about a more obvious improvement in combat effectiveness.

Sword skills are his strongest means of killing the enemies. The breakthrough in sword skills makes his strengths even more obvious.

If he were to face those two fifth-grade Inner Strong Realm warriors from more than a month ago, he would only need one strike of his sword to kill them if he used all his strength.

He is no longer the same as he was before!
Therefore, in his current opinion, Hong Minghu, who still relies on external objects to enter the fifth-grade inner strength realm, must be far inferior to him in strength.

In today's Luoshui County, unless there are other hidden masters, the only person he is not sure of is the old woman in the Internal Affairs Department, the White Granny in Hong Minghu's mouth. Thinking of this, Jiang Ning asked, "Is the old lady in the Internal Affairs Department here?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Xie Xiaojiu immediately said, "Yes, I have been basking in the sun in the Internal Affairs Office since early in the morning. Because the salary was issued today, some subordinates went to the Internal Affairs Office in the morning to exchange for the necessary items."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning said, "I'll go to the Internal Affairs Office!"

"Sir, I'm going too!" Xie Xiaojiu hurriedly followed Jiang Ning.

She did not mention the Xie family again, but was secretly grateful in her heart, grateful to Jiang Ning for giving the Xie family a way to live.

Internal Affairs Office.

When Jiang Ning stepped into the courtyard where the Internal Affairs Office was located, he saw an old woman who was about fifty years old, with a few strands of silver hair but a face that looked like she was in her forties, sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun.

He looked calm and composed, with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The sound of two people entering the yard made the old woman slowly open her eyes.

"It's you?"

"Hello, senior!" Jiang Ning bowed.

As soon as he saw the old woman for the first time, he wanted to secretly open his third eye to take a peek.

But as soon as this thought came to my mind, my whole body started to go cold and I instinctively felt that this was unacceptable.

He also immediately understood that this old woman was the unfathomable and unspeakable person.

His expression suddenly became respectful.

"You are great, kid!" The old woman looked at Jiang Ning, nodded approvingly, and then said, "Nothing happened in Luoshui County a few days ago, thanks to you, kid!"

Jiang Ning said modestly: "This is as it should be. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility! Since I am the master in everyone's eyes, I should shoulder the responsibility and obligation to protect everyone."

"Not bad, not bad!" The old woman nodded approvingly again, with a look of great satisfaction on her face.

Then, a cloth bag suddenly appeared in her hand and she threw it towards Jiang Ning.

"This is your salary. Due to logistical reasons, I will temporarily pay it to you. As for your contribution in defending the city at the critical moment, someone from above will be sent here in person."

Jiang Ning looked at the cloth bag flying towards him and immediately raised his hand to catch it.

Then the cloth bag disappeared in his hand in an instant and was put into his Sumeru Ring.

For him now, salary or not is no longer important.

His salary is barely enough to fill his teeth now.

So there is no need to check.

After putting the cloth bag into the Xumi Ring, Jiang Ning bowed again.

"Senior, with my current authority, am I not qualified to understand the fifth level of inner strength in martial arts?"

The old woman glanced at Jiang Ning and immediately understood Jiang Ning's intention.

Then he nodded slightly: "Indeed, there is actually an influential division among the nine levels of martial arts. Below the fifth level, it is the external training of the body, the external training of the skin, flesh, tendons and bones."

"The method to achieve these four steps is not a top secret. If you have money, you can easily obtain the relevant method."

"Joining various sects can also easily obtain relevant methods."

"Among the four steps of external training, only a few key steps are top secret. For example, the golden body method of the step of skin polishing can achieve the highest level of golden body polishing. There are only a few of them in the world, no more than two hands."

"Among them, the best is the Vajra Indestructible Body of the Vajra Temple. If one can cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Body, even if one is only at the ninth level of martial arts, one will be able to fight against the sixth level."

Jiang Ning stood in front of the old woman and listened quietly to her story. When he heard this, he could no longer hold back.

"So exaggerated?" He looked surprised.

"Exaggerated?" The old woman glanced at Jiang Ning calmly, then shook her head: "Your vision is still too narrow, and you don't understand the horror of the golden body. You should know that the flesh and blood are one body. If you can achieve the golden body, do you think the flesh and blood will be inferior?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

"Too!!"

He also agreed with what his old wife said.

This is also the reason why the strength of the body will be transformed after forging iron bones, black bones, and jade bones.

If the human body is compared to a building, then the skeleton is the load-bearing columns and steel frame structure of the building.

The stronger the load-bearing columns and structures are, the more majestic the building can be.

Similarly, as bones transform, the strength of the body will also increase.

So Jiang Ning agreed with the old woman's words.

The human body is originally one.

Therefore, in these four steps of external training, the improvement and change of each step is at most a different emphasis, rather than simply improving one aspect.

In the ninth stage of skin resurfacing, the focus is on the defense of the epidermis.

But at the same time it will also bring about an increase in strength and qi and blood.

In the eighth level of divine power, the emphasis in this stage of strength training is on power, which is the training of the human body's muscle groups.

Therefore, the strength is greatly increased in this stage, but the defense and other aspects will also be improved to a certain extent.

It is mainly about strength. At this stage of improvement, strength accounts for as much as 80 to 90 percent.

As for the seventh stage of tendon training, the emphasis is on explosive power, which is the strongest training for the large tendons of the human body.

Therefore, the explosive power is greatly increased in this stage. A random punch, under the explosion of the human body's tendons, is like an arrow shot by a bowstring, and the explosive power is terrifying.

In this stage, the improvement is mainly on explosive power, and other improvements are less compared to the eighth level.

But it is different at the sixth level.

The sixth level of bone strengthening focuses on improving the strength of human bones.

The strength of human bones will be transformed step by step to form iron bones, whose strength is comparable to ten-forged fine iron.

Achieve the mysterious bones, and the bone strength is comparable to that of fine iron forged a hundred times.

The result is jade bones, whose strength is comparable to that of thousand-forged fine iron.

Improving bone strength is the biggest focus of this step.

Completing this step is equivalent to putting on a layer of inner protective clothing for the human body.

Once the jade bones are formed, any bone in the human body will be as strong as thousand-forged iron.

You know, the standard equipment for an ordinary seventh-grade warrior is only a thousand-forged weapon.

As for the weapons that have been forged thousands of times, they can be called divine weapons.

In the huge Luoshui County, even the weapon forging shop cannot produce a single magical weapon that has been forged with ten thousand times the skill.

To be able to forge fine iron that has been forged thousands of times requires extremely strong power and long-lasting physical strength.

Luoshui County simply cannot produce such a strong warrior to practice the craft of blacksmithing.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the person who has achieved the sixth level and cast the jade bones is invincible in Luoshui County.

A warrior with jade bones can stretch out his head and let others chop his neck with a thousand-forged divine weapon, but still cannot chop off his head.

With the skull alone, it is not afraid of the blows of thousands of forged weapons.

The 206 bones also protect almost all the weak points in the human body.

This kind of survivability is also the most terrifying thing about a sixth-grade warrior.

Moreover, the importance of bones in the human body is self-evident.

Therefore, in the sixth stage of bone strengthening, every comprehensive transformation of the bones will have a very obvious improvement on the physical body.

It is far greater than the overall improvement brought by the first three steps of body building.

All these things also support what Grandma Bai said.

The physical body is originally an integrated whole. There has never been any single improvement in any one aspect, only different emphases.
