Token for Cultivation Method, Jiang Hao's Small Goal!

Outside the martial arts school, a doctor was crouching on the ground, trembling as he carefully examined Big Tiger's injuries.

Doctors usually treated people, so this was his first time treating a tiger, making him appear very unskilled.

"Doctor, how is Big Tiger?"

Jiang Hao asked.

Seeing it was Jiang Hao, the doctor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and replied, "Young Master Jiang, this tiger pet of yours only suffered some superficial wounds. I've stopped the bleeding where it was bleeding; it should be fine."

"Good, thank you for your trouble, doctor."

Jiang Hao paid the consultation fee, and the doctor left happily.

Big Tiger stretched out his tongue to lick Jiang Hao's small hand. Jiang Hao gently patted Big Tiger's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, you're fine. A few days of rest and you'll be good."

Returning to Jiang Manor, Jiang Hao immediately took out the Flying Snow Force manual.

Jiang Hao had already mastered two top-tier Ming Jin techniques, the Raging Tide Force and the Startling Thunder Force. Although they were completely different from the Flying Snow Force, he was already very familiar with Force Training techniques.

He could tell at a glance that this Flying Snow Force had tremendous power, and it probably wouldn't be easy to train.

Still, three months should be no problem.

Jiang Hao then recalled the events of the day.

Especially the encounter with the Huangtian Sect Outer Gate disciple.

He had even made a move, defeating Liu Quan in a single strike.

This counted as Jiang Hao's first time fighting someone for real, not just sparring.

Yet, Jiang Hao had a feeling.

It was too easy.

Yes, facing Liu Quan, he had found it far too easy.

Both were Ming Jin Martial Artists.

Moreover, Liu Quan had managed to enter the Huangtian Sect Outer Gate and become an Outer Gate disciple, so he shouldn't have been weak.

And yet, that was it?

Not just one Liu Quan—even ten Liu Quans, Jiang Hao didn't feel would pose any threat.

This wasn't Jiang Hao being arrogant.

It was just that his strength had unknowingly surpassed that of his peers by too much.

"Even though my strength has long since far exceeded that of martial artists at the same level, and even many Ming Jin Martial Artists in the Huangtian Sect Outer Gate are probably rarely a match for me, my master still thinks my chances of breaking through the Desolate Heaven Tower aren't great."

"The Desolate Heaven Tower must really be that difficult. But relying solely on my master exchanging for three top-tier Ming Jin techniques won't work either. If I can reach Major Accomplishment in my Fierce Tiger Fist, then my chances of clearing the Desolate Heaven Tower will be much greater."

Jiang Hao revised his training plan.

He would train the Flying Snow Force, but he also had to put effort into the Fierce Tiger Fist.

This trip to Flying Eagle Mountain to observe Big Tiger hunting had indeed given Jiang Hao some insights.

If he did it a few more times, he might find the opportunity to reach Major Accomplishment in the Fierce Tiger Fist.

At the White Crane Martial Arts School, one of Cang City's seven major martial arts schools, a mysterious person arrived today.

The school's master, He Tiangang, personally received him.

"Zhao Heita, what brings you here?"

He Tiangang asked.

He knew Zhao Heita well.

The other man never came without a reason; if he was here, there was definitely something going on.

Zhao Heita was very familiar with He Tiangang, so he sat down without ceremony and asked calmly, "Old White Crane, your disciple Du Futian has already reached Hidden Force, and you still haven't gotten a Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot?"

Mentioning Du Futian, Old White Crane's expression darkened.

This was a pain in his heart.

Before Jiang Hao, Du Futian had been Cang City's number one genius.

He Tiangang had high hopes for Du Futian and had wanted to send him to the Huangtian Sect when he was still a Ming Jin Martial Artist.

But he hadn't managed to get a recommendation slot, and it had been delayed until now.

Back then, He Tiangang had even gone to Zhao Heita, hoping to get the Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot in Zhao Heita's hands, but Zhao Heita had refused.

"Zhao Heita, did you come here just to mock me today?"

He Tiangang sneered in reply.

"Old White Crane, don't be ungrateful. I came here specially to give you a Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot. Do you want it or not?"

"What? A Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot? Zhao Heita, are you willing to give the slot in your hands to me?"

He Tiangang immediately became excited.

"My recommendation slot naturally cannot be given to you."

"Zhao Heita, if your recommendation slot isn't for me, are you here to mock me?"

"My recommendation slot cannot be given to you, but I have a token from the Qingyang Xia Family. This token is equivalent to a Huangtian Sect Outer Gate recommendation slot. Do you want it?"

Zhao Heita flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his palm.

"A token from the Qingyang Xia Family?"

He Tiangang was no stranger to such things. He examined the token closely, his heart warming.

It was real!

A Qingyang Xia Family token was equivalent to a Huangtian Sect Outer Gate recommendation slot.

Du Futian now had hope of entering the Huangtian Sect!

"Zhao Heita, speak. What do you want?"

He Tiangang gradually calmed down.

Zhao Heita wouldn't hand over a token for no reason.

"Heh, Old White Crane, you're still sharp. There's no free lunch in this world, but this time I'm asking for little. I'm only giving you this chance out of respect for our decades of friendship."

"Speak. What are the terms?"

"I only want three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques!"

Old White Crane furrowed his brow.

Three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques?

Though it was only three, top-tier Ming Jin Techniques were hoarded and hidden away by every martial arts school in Cang City.

There was no way they'd be handed over easily.

"I only have two..."

"Old White Crane, don't say I'm not looking out for you. I'll give you ten days to gather three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques. Otherwise, I'll go visit other martial arts schools, or even the City Lord's Mansion. I'm sure at least one of them can produce three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques."

Hearing that Zhao Heita would go to other schools, He Tiangang immediately grew anxious.

"Don't, don't go to any other schools. Brother Zhao, ten days, you say? Rest assured, within ten days I will gather three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques for you!"

He Tiangang gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Fine, then I'll wait ten days. But, Old White Crane, let me be clear upfront—those three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques must come with no trouble attached. You understand what I mean, don't you?"

"I understand. Rest assured, the techniques will be clean and won't bring you any trouble."

Zhao Heita nodded.

He didn't linger at the White Crane Martial Arts School and quickly left.

Watching Zhao Heita's retreating figure, He Tiangang could hardly contain his excitement.

"A Qingyang Xia Family token... I wonder where Zhao Heita got it from?"

"Forget it. No matter where Zhao Heita got the token, this token is indeed a Huangtian Sect Outer Gate recommendation slot. With this token, Futian can enter the Huangtian Sect. I must seize this opportunity!"

"But I still owe one top-tier Ming Jin Technique, and it must be clean... Forget it, no matter the cost, I have to gather three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques!"

He Tiangang knew well Du Futian's talent—it was surely on par with the geniuses of the Huangtian Sect.

Once Du Futian entered the Huangtian Sect, he would surely soar to great heights!

This opportunity could not be missed.

A few days later, He Tiangang paid a visit to the Black Tower Martial Arts School.

When he came out, He Tiangang wore a smile, looking very pleased.

A few more days passed, and a sensational piece of news spread through Cang City.

The White Crane Martial Arts School had obtained a Huangtian Sect recommendation slot. The school master, He Tiangang, used the slot for his disciple Du Futian, personally escorting him to the Huangtian Sect, successfully enrolling him as an Outer Gate disciple.

This news exploded across Cang City.

Especially among the martial arts school circles, everyone was asking how the White Crane Martial Arts School had managed to get a Huangtian Sect recommendation slot.

He Tiangang kept his lips sealed, revealing nothing.

However, Jiang Hao and Wen Xiang had their suspicions.

After all, both of them knew about the "Xia Family Token."

For the White Crane Martial Arts School to obtain a Huangtian Sect recommendation slot at this exact time was far too coincidental.

One day, Zhao Heita called Jiang Hao over.

"Jiang Hao, the Xia Family Token was exchanged for three top-tier Ming Jin Techniques: White Crane Force, Panshi Force, and Juling Force."

Zhao Heita directly produced three technique manuals.

"White Crane Force?"

Jiang Hao's heart stirred.

He knew that the White Crane Martial Arts School had a top-tier Ming Jin technique, called the White Crane Force.

Connecting this to the White Crane Martial Arts School obtaining the Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot, Jiang Hao had basically guessed the situation.

"Master, did you exchange techniques with the White Crane Martial Arts School?"

Jiang Hao asked directly.

"That's right, these three techniques came from the White Crane Martial Arts School."

"Your master has decades of friendship with He Tiangang. He once helped me a great deal. Who else would I exchange with? So I gave this opportunity to He Tiangang."

Although it was an exchange, both He Tiangang and Zhao Heita knew that this was Zhao Heita looking out for He Tiangang.

Otherwise, Zhao Heita could have gained far greater benefits.

"Jiang Hao, your master has one more presumptuous request."

"Master, just give your disciple your orders directly."

Zhao Heita took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "For certain reasons, your master desperately hopes you can enter the Huangtian Sect's Inner Sect."

"Some of your senior brothers and sisters actually have decent talent. If I used the recommendation slot, they could enter the Huangtian Sect as Outer Sect disciples. With some effort, they might even become Inner Sect disciples. But I didn't give them the recommendation slot. I kept it all along and ultimately decided to give it to you."

"Although it's because their talent didn't meet my requirements, this matter is still a debt I owe them."

"If you can become a True Disciple of the Huangtian Sect in the future, you'll have attendant slots. I hope you can then consider giving some of your senior brothers and sisters an attendant slot. The treatment for a True Disciple's attendant is even better than that of an Outer Sect disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao didn't agree immediately.

First, he didn't understand what attendant slots were. Second, he wasn't very familiar with many of his senior brothers.

He was only close to Second Senior Sister Wen Xiang.

Seeming to notice Jiang Hao's hesitation, Zhao Heita smiled and said: "Don't worry. I just feel I owe them something, so I want to leave them a path. But the attendant slots are yours, closely tied to you. Who you give them to is entirely your decision."

"I won't mention this to your senior brothers and sisters. You interact with them normally, and when the time comes, just give the attendant slots to those you're close with."

"As for those who don't get along with you or even envy you, they're fools. I won't interfere."

Jiang Hao understood.

It seemed his master was clear-headed about this and wouldn't force him to "take care of" all his senior brothers and sisters.

Just looking after the ones he was close to and had good relations with—that was no problem.

Second Senior Sister Wen Xiang, for example, was a good person.

If he had the chance, Jiang Hao would naturally bring Wen Xiang into the Huangtian Sect.

"Master, your disciple understands. Please rest assured. If I have the need, I will definitely prioritize my senior brothers and sisters."

"Then I can rest easy. Go on. Force training can't be rushed; it must be done step by step. If you truly can't resonate with a technique, never force it."

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Hao returned to the Meditation Room.

He needed to plan his next training schedule.

With his current Bone Quality, mastering these top-tier Ming Jin techniques would certainly be no problem.

But reaching Major Accomplishment or Perfection in Fierce Tiger Fist would be very difficult.

His Comprehension wasn't enough.

Therefore, his time from now on would be spent entirely on Force Training and fully on Visualizing the Blood Moon to increase his Comprehension!

Jiang Hao estimated the time. One or two years should be enough.

"Then I'll set a small goal."

"Reach the Huangtian Sect before I turn ten, and go straight to the Inner Sect!"

Jiang Hao was very confident.

As long as he put in the effort, achieving this goal shouldn't be a problem.
